Department of the Pacific are making prep
arations for the annual encampment to be
held at Sacramento at date in April to be
selected hereafter 1t is expected that
Commander-in-Chief Thomas q. Lawler OF
Rockford, H., will be present, and the date
OF the encampment will be fixed to suit his
convenience
The committee having in charge the ar
engagements consists of Frank Miller and
D. j. Simmons of Sacramento. They. have
already issued various circulars relative to
the encampment calculated to rouse public
interest in the affair.
The main feature of the encampment will
be the election of department commander.
The contest for that office is unusually
lively, and thus far three candidates have
announced themselves. They are: Z. Il.
Wilson of Thomas Post, San Francisco;
W. R. Thomas of Appomattox Post, Oak

COPELAND INSTITUTE.
S. A MONTH.
The Folly of Paying More fol
Treatment and Medicines.
There Is No Better Medical Service Than That
Given by the Copeland Medical
Institute.

The best medical service in this season Of
'hard times should not cost more than SIS a
month.
This is the stand that Drs. Copeland, VIM
and Neal take. This is the gauntlet that they
throw down to their confreres in the pro-
fession.
The physician who charges more than that
amount as his monthly fee does SO because his
practice is so limited that he is obliged to, or
because he feels that he is able to bamboozle
his patients to swell his receipts.
There is no better medical service than Drs.
Copeland, VIM and Neal give in their specisl-
ties. Their large practice attests this fact,
their esta blished situation proclaims it, their
testimonials emphasize it.
Five dollars month is the only charge for
treatment and medicines. If you pay more you
are simply giving away all over and above
that amount,

tions of Miss Durham.
Certain statements were made by Miss
Lucy Durham, house-to-house mission
airy in Chinatown, at the meeting on Mon
day of the Occidental Board of Foreign
Missions of the Presbyterian Church which
have called forth the following reply from
Rev. Frederic J. Masters, the Methodist

SAN FRANCISCO, February ), 1860
Chief Of Police P. Crowley Esq.-DEAR SIR:
NY attention was called this morning to a re-
mission rejecting upon The police in China
town.
have noticed for the last four or five months
the great improvement in the condition of that
once lawless place. Thinking that with the adj
vent of new squad the past deplorable evils
had possibly cropped up again l made a tour OF
the street slums this afternoon to see what
ground the lady had for her charges.
l think it is only fair to state that found
/ Chinatown in condition exactly the opposite
of that described by her. Highbinderism is
dead. failed to find a sign or flag where six
years ago twenty secret societies terrorzed
over the whole place. l also failed to find any
tan or lottery den and only two agencies of lot
terieS where year ago the town was full of
them. Ross alley, that was once given up TO
tan, is now deserted. Half the houses were to
let and every house on that street was closed.
| also noticed that the once notorious resorts
on Cum Cook, Baker and Spofford alleys and
other quarters are closed, and prostitution is
only carried on where solicitation is an impos-
sibility

efficiency of Sergeant Gillen and his squad.
They were indeed terror to the evil-doers and
the praise OF them that do well. l suppose that
you had good reasons for making n change,
although all good citizens must feel that his
removal will be great loss to the community.
In making this remark l do not wish to re-
fleet upon his successor, who may be an equally
good man. Iremain yours very truly,
FREDERIC J. MASTERS.
l have written this letter unsolicited by any
person, and you are at full liberty to make
what use you like of its contents. 1 congratu-
late you for the good work already accom-
pllshed by men who are credit TO your force.

CAPTAIN REED EXONERATED.
The Charge of Cruelty Against Him
Quickly Dismissed.

The charges ofcruelty against Captain E.
w. Reed of the American ship 7. F..
Cakes were dismissed by Commissioner
Heacock yesterday. James Murphy, the
seaman who brought the charge against
Captain Reed, Jared worse at the hands of
his own witnesses than the accused cap
tain. The testimony went to show that
Murphy was lazy fellow who shipped as
boatswain, and was disrated on account OF
incompetency. The sailors he put on the
stand all admitted that they had COM
planned of his rough treatment while he
was boatswain. They saw Captain Reed
throw Murphy to the deck, but they did
not see Murphy kicked, as he alleged. Cap
tain Reed said he showed Murphy down on
pile of sails as the latter attempted to
strike him. There was no evidence against
Reed sufficient to hold him on any charge.

A dispatch to the New York papers
from Albany says: "Carrie Turner has
returned from the west, where the
tour of The Crust of Society," in
which she was being starred, came
to an end. She has been in poor
health and is confined to her room
The tour WAS mismanaged from the
start to the inish,' said Miss Turner. EAll
the trouble came from the booking. We

port, Allentown-oh, the recollection of
some of those towns in Pennsylvania!
nearly starved to death. The hotels were
miserable, and such people you saw
in the diningrooms! 1t was terrible
They were so rough and the sur
roundings were such that if you
had an appetite you would lose it.
At last in disgust l refused to go into
the dining rooms and had my. meals sent
to my room. The theaters were more
like barns than anything else The
dressing rooms were cold and without
comfort or conveniences. Such people
as did come to those theaters in the west!
Why, in Duluth there were two men who
looked like cowboys and they sat in the
front row. In the second act they fell
asleep. You could hear them snore from
all points in the theater. Business grew
SO bad that the show closed in Kansas

aged-Firemen Injured.
At 2:35 this morning people who hap
pened to be on the streets saw bright
red light, apparently in Parkdale. The
department was called out before the
alarm reached headquarters.
The fire was found to BIZ in the grocery
and feed store al 813 East Eighth street,
owned by A A, Buck The entire build
ing was in flames, and almost the whole
roof of the adjoining dwelling owned by
Mrs. J. P. Behler was also burning.
1t required 1, $50 feet of hose to reach
the place and then the grocery store was
past saving. The residence of Mrs.
Behler was BADLY damaged and the house
at ST, occupied by John. Harding, was
also considerably scorched
The grocery store is a total loss. The
value of the building and stock was
about $1,000. The damage TO the two
residences will probably be in excess of
5000
During the fire, while the men were
busy trying to save the residences, one
of the walls of the grocery
store fell, without warning, strlk-
ing three men from station 5, and
badly injuring Clifton Meauks. He
was taken from under the wall and car
ried home. but is unable to move in his
bed this morning. He will recover. The
other two men, George Sneed and II.
Etherly, escaped with slight injuries.
On the way to the fire "Donald," one
of the horses hitched to the chemical en-
CINE from station No. 2, slipped and fell.
He was dragged 20 feet before the ap-
paratus could be stopped. 1t will be
several weeks before he will be able
for duty, but he is not permanently in
iurad
