Sally Stewart died early Saturday evening
at the Hotel Stewart, corner of Pine and
Jones streets. She had not been well for
four years past, but the final and fatal i'll
ness was OF recent occurrence.
Her death removes one of the old guard.
She was born at Fayette, Mo-, and as Sally
Garner was noted beauty when she ar
rived with her mother and sister at Sacra-
mento In 1858. In 1854 she was married to
George W. Stewart, member of the firm
OF Snead, Arnold & Co. In 1867 they
moved to San Francisco. Mr.. Stewart en-
gagged IN the grain business here with
John w. Coleman and Jesse Wall. Unfor-
tunate ventures swept away a generous for
tune which he had accumulated. He then
took responsible position with the South
ern Pacific Company and died in 1887.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Stewart had retired
from active participation in social matters,
and remained practically recluse for
several years. The fine old families of the
City who were her intimates IN the early
days had not forgotten her, and had kept
as close IN touch with her as possible. For
several years past she conducted the
hotel, assisted by her sister, Mrs. Denver,
widow OF the Lieutenant Governor of Ne
vada.
The only relatives she left here are her
sister, Mrs. Denver, and her niece, Mrs.
Howard Turner. The funeral will be held
at the Hotel Stewart this afternoon, the in
terment to be at Laurel Hill Cemetery.

HE PRAISES JOYS VEGETABLE
SARSAPARILLA.
It Is a Good Medicine for the Sick and a
Good Medicine to Take to Make
You Well. Use 1t.

81 want my family, my friends, my ac-
quaintances and all sick people to try joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla, because L know 1t
to be medicine possessing merit"
This is just what Mr.. Thomas Stangle OF
San Jose said to me, and he meant every
word.
Continuing, he said: ~ had heard
great deal about joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla. A friend, gentleman, began
taking it for change of life. He was
indeed very sick man, was compelled to
get up as many as twelve times at night,
and was SO troubled with his bladder that
he despaired. After using joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla for three weeks he slept
soundly and was enabled to do his work.
Sat his request began using this
remedy, joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
sat first could experience little or no
benefit, but after using one-half of bottle
L began to see things differently, life
seemed just trife brighter, and this
brightness has kept growing and growing
so that am enabled to say joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla is grand medicine, and
should be used by the sick. 1t made my
friend well, it made me well, it will make
others WELL"

ACROSS TEHAUNTE PEC
Continued from First Page.

particularly the Mississippi River Valley. 1t
is only little over SO miles from the mouth
OF the Mississippi TO the eastern terminus of
the Tehauntepec Railroad The total distance
by rail and water from Chicago TO the Pacific
Ocean, via Tehauntepec, is only 1875 miles.
The nautical conditions for sailing vessels
are much more favorable at Tehauntepec than
at Panama. Navigators always avoid, if pos
sible, the region of Gains on both sides OF the
Panama isthmus.
This advantage may be considered by some
as OF little importance, on account of what is
supposed to be the rapid substitution of steam
for sail; but as far as the United States is con-
cerned the advantage of good nautical condi-
lions is important, and viii be for many years,
as the sailing tonnage greatly predominates
over steam.
1t now takes sailing vessel 40 days to
go from San Francisco to New York
around Cape Horn, distance of Is, 420
miles. BY steamer it requires sixty days
via the Straits of Magellan, distance of
$4,000 miles. By the Southern Pacific
Railroad to New Orleans, and thence by
water to New York it is 1886 miles. By
the Tehauntepec route, a distance of 1880
miles, it takes only twenty days. The
necessity OF passing twice through the
torrid zone is obviated, and that danger to
cargoes avoided.
This route is especially valuable to grain
and coal traffic, as shipments can be made
in bulk and transferred by means of the
grain elevators, which are similar to those
used at Chicago and Buffalo. The grain
can be inspected in its passage and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars ought to be
saved to the farmers of this coast
Let the Traffic Association, the Chamber
of Commerce, the Manufacturers Associa-
ton, the Board of Trade, the Half-million
Club and everybody who takes an interest
in California help TO keep the Tehauntepec
Railroad before the people No subsidy
has been asked. The road has been COM
pleted; the wharves are now being built.
A new transcontinental route is open.
Why wait for and dream of other lines
This is practically an accomplished fact.
The Pacific Coast and San Francisco cannot
fail to secure its full benefits. Other lines or
routes equally favorable may be opened in
the future for business, but the Tehaunte-
pee route has been completed while we
have been passing resolutions.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
now runs steamers to Mexico, and it would
be only little further to continue the line to
Salina Cruz or to Tehauntepec Bay. Then
the Pacific Coast and San Diego, San Pc
dro, San Francisco and Puget Sound would
be Immediately benefited and freed from
the giant monopoly and octopus now die
tating to California and demanding all the
traffic will bear. LYMAN BRIDGES, C.E.

.BULL-F|GHTS IN FRANCE,
Police Prevented the Brutal
Exhibitions at Two
Towns.
Spanish Frontier and Then the
Council Resigned.

PARIS, FRANCE, Sept. IA series of
great bull-fghts was fixed to begin at Bay
onne to-day and the celebrated Spanish
bull-fghter Mazzantini was specially en-
gagged to appear. The police, however, re-
fused to let the fight proceed and they
caused MazZantini to be conducted to the
Spanish frontier.
The people were anxious to see bull
fight and the action of the police was
greeted with boots and cries OF derision.
A number of Senators and members of the
Chamber of Deputies and the Municipal
Council interviewed with the police to have
the performance go on, but all their efforts
were useless.
When the members of the Municipal
Council found that the police were deter
mined to prevent the fight and to send
Mazzantini out of the country they held
special meeting and unanimously decided
to resign. Five brigades of gendarmes
and many mounted police occupied the
arena. The young King of Servia was
present, but his mother had been assured
beforehand that the authorities would not
allow the fight.
at Aries there was bull-fght in the
presence OF 50OO people. Three bulls and
three horses were killed, but nevertheless
the performance was tame and unexciting
and the spectators hooted the toreadors.
1t was intended to have fight at Tar
ascon. but the authorities prohibited it.
The inhabitants were made very angry by
the intervention of the police, and the
members of the Town Council protested
against the fight being stopped. The
police were obdurate, however, and the
fight did not take place.

The words of Mr.. Thomas Stangle con-
vey the same idea and mean just what
hundreds of people do say every day. joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla is a medicine of
merit, is a good medicine and all sick peo-
pie should take it. If you will permit
yourself to be preiudiced against that
which will do you good you do yourself
double injury. You can and should write
to all of the kind ladies and gentlemen
who speak in glowing terms of the medi-
cine for the sick-Joy's Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla. Try it and you will be convinced
that it is just suited to your needs. You
should by all means have your wife take
it. Put her out of those miserable gripping
pains.
The druggist, if he be strictly honorable.
will hand you out joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, without trying to give you some-
thing which he wants to sell but don't.
Take joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla when
you want joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and
don't take anything else.

ITALIAN OPERA IS SUNG,
Performance of "La TraViata"
by the Giuseppe Verdi
Society.
An Entertainment That Aroused
the Applause Of the Italian
Colony.

The best performance that the Italian
Philharmonic Society Giuseppe Verdi has
yet produced took place at the California
Theater last night. The opera was Verdi's
'La Traviata" and the enthusiasm of large
audience showed that the rendering given
to the work was more than appreciated.
The company had secured brand-new
prima donna and new tenor for the occa-
sion. Signor Almagia, who sang the i'm
portant role of Germont, has improved al
most out of recognition since he appeared
here in 1.-The Barber of Seville" and the
chorus, as usual with the Giuseppe Verdi
Society, consisted of fine volume of fresh
voices which many-a professional organl-
cation might envy.
Signorina Beschieri, the Violetta, is an
italian prima donna who came here re-
Gently from South America. Her work
last night showed her to be pos sessed of a
she is inclined, quite unnecessarily, to
overtax. Her execution was facile, and
she sang with the ease of tried profess
sional. As an actress she did not realize
all the dramatic possibilities of Violetta' 8
role, though in certain scenes, notably the
parting from Alfredo, she was exception
ally good.

American, who has studied with one of
the leading masters in Milan, and though
his studies were not of sufficient duration
to make him 'tenore assoluto." he is a
valuable addition to the Giuseppe Verdi
Society. He looked well as Alfredo and
won good deal of applause for some of
his singing, notably IN the scene where he
threw the purse at Violetta.
Slgnor Almagia gave a successful rem
dering of the role of Germont. Both his
singing and acting were dignifed and ex-
pressive and he took the part well. His
singing of "Di Provenza" was especially
good.
Slgnor Kentra and Signor Merani ac-
quilted themselves well as the Baron and
the Marquis, and, with scarcely an excep-
ton the choruses were excellently rem
dered.
In fact had it not been for marked
anxiety on the part of the performers to
catch the conductors eye one could fire.
quently have forgotten that the entertain
ment was one given by an amateur organi-
zation. Signor Spadina, the director, had
gathered together a good orchestra, and
frequent applause showed that the audience
thoroughly appreciated the performance.
1t is probable that La Traviata" will be
repeated next Sunday.

the afternoon with the result that Robin-
son killed six straight birds, Fay 5, Fend.

off Webb won first money with a clean

they divided the prize. Vernon Killed
twelve straight birds, but as he was not in

LAST OF THE SEASON.
The Scores Made Over the Traps at
BIuerocks and Live Birds
YESTERDAY.

Live birds and bluerocks kept the trap
shooters busy at the Oakland race track
yesterday. The members OF the California
Wing Shooting Club and the Electric Gun
Club were out in force, and some fair
scores were made. In the morning the
birds flew well and strong, and in conse-
quence there was many miss recorded.
In the afternoon, after being cooped, up
without water or food for about six hours,
the birds were listless, and one-half of
them had to be frightened by the trap rope
before they would fly.
The score of the California Wing Club
