AIDING OUR WATERWAYS,
Early Conference of Senators
and Congressman on
the Question.
To Inspect Rivers and Harbors in a
Body With Government
Engineers.

Senator White and most of the Congress-
men of California will arrive in this City
to-day or tomorrow. The purpose of their
visit, as published exclusively in THE CALL
of yesterday, will be to confer as to the
most effective steps that may BE- taken in
order to secure Government aid for the
rivers and harbors of California.
The initiative step to be taken after duly
considering the several interests involved
will be to go carefully over the waterways,
visiting the several ports of shipment in
this State with view of ascertaining the
advantages of each port from a CONNER
cial point of view.
In speaking of the matter Congressman
Loud yesterday said:
1t is proposed that the Senators and Con-
gressmen shall join in this tour, as l under
stand it, that we may be enabled to come to
some definite conclusion. after looking over
the entire ground, as to what to ask the Gen.
eral Government to aid us in doing in the line
of improving our rivers and harbors. l re-
Ieived letter from Senator White yesterday
requesting q general conference of all the Cali
fornia delegation to meet at an early date at
the Palace Hotel, when the details of the pro-
posed trip would be more fully considered.
As understand it, the Government engineer
and possibly some of our leading business men
will also join the party.
United action is the only way by which we
can hope to secure effective Government aid
for our waterways, and l think this wise
movement looking to that end. Much will de-
pend on the amount of commerce which can
be guaranteed over the rivers for which appro-
priations are asked. The Government is not
slow 70 aid movement of this nature when it's
engineers recommend the work as being in de-
mand by the commerce of the country adjacent
to the point for which the appropriation is
asked.

CROSS-CONT|NENT SPEED,
The Santa Fe Will Soon Put On
a Three-Day Filler From
Chicago.
Bidding for Winter Tourist Travel
Which Promises Well for
the Public.

Those arch rivals in California's railway
field. the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe, propose to have bout this season for
the winter tourist traffic.
The first sign of the fight that is on came
out yesterday when it was announced from
the local Santa Fe Office that fast overland
trains will be put on about November l..
At present trains on the Santa Fe system
run between Chicago and Los Angeles in
three and half days. After November 1
the time will be cut to three days, and
three and half days between Chicago and
San Francisco.
More than this, the time of departure
from Chicago will be made so that trav-
eler may leave New York by the "limited'
over the New York Central and the Michi-
gan Central at 4 80 P. M. any day; may ar
rive at Chicago, as at present, at 4:30 P. M.
the next day; may connect at P. M. with
the Santa Fe "limited' and be in Los An
geles at P. NJ. of the fourth day from New
York.
The time now by the central overland
lines is three and half days between San
francisco and Chicago and four and q half
days, San Francisco to New York. The
Santa Fe managers plan to offer the same
time. But the chief object of the new
schedule is to scoop in the winter-tourist
traffic to Southern California.
From all indications, this promises to be
a large business the coming season. As
sistant General Passenger Agent Speers of
the Santa Fe, who is just back from Los
Angeles. says everybody down there is
looking for large crop this season in this
very profitable climatic product. The
burning OF the Raymond Hotel has not
discouraged that tourist company. They
have arranged with the Hotel Green in
Pasadena and the new San Marcos at
Santa Barbara, and plan to rush about 1000
people out of frost bitten New England.
The proposed Santa Fe flyer will run
once day each way between Chicago and
Los Angeles. The westbound San Fran
cisco travel will be switched at Barstow as

PRACTICAL PROGRESSION
The Union Likely to Take Charge OF
the Old French Hospital
Charity

The charitable institution occupying the
old French Hospital on Bryant street, and
which owes its beginning to Mrs. J. Neil
son, is likely 10 pass under the control of
the Union of Practical Progress.
John M. Reynolds, president of the
union, visited the place a few days ago
and was so much impressed by the efficacy
of the work as well as by its possible scope
that he has submitted to Mrs. Nelson a
proposition that the union should assume
control of it, appoint committees to aid
her in her work and raise funds to enlarge
the same.
The lady, who is president. matron and
maid-of-all-work of the institution thinks
favorably of the plan, and it is likely that
1t will shortly be consummated
1t is by no means money-making prop
osition. Even the low figure required for
rent was not covered last month nor this
by the small sums paid by the benetlciaries
for food and shelter.
Mrs. Nelson's purpose was TO open a
place of shelter for sufferers from the
Brannan-street fire. and when the neees-
sity for such a refuge had passed to con-
vert it into a rescue home for erring
women.
A very low sum has been charged for

rooms. Beds in the old wards and meal
tickets have been sold to the various
benevolent institutions, and the needy who
applied to them for help have received one
or more, emitting them to temporary re-
lief from their needs.
Yet one-third of the poor who have APP
piled for aid have been received within the
sheltering walls of the old building free of
charge.
II have never turned away any but the
drunken" said the kind-hearted matron.
The number of inmates is usually about
thirty. OF these one is an aged woman
who labored all day in one of the Mission
canneries yesterday for 16 cents.
Another is a young man who belongs to
prominent family in Cincinnati, but who
has been unfortunate in land of stran-
gers. There is deserted wife and Grip
pie who is glad to pay his reckoning by
swinging the heavy old gate back for the
reception OF visitors.
The deficit has been met by the hard
earnings of Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson.

dyspepsia, nervousness and sleeplessness.
says Lille B. Smith of Williamson, n. j.,
"and 1 can recommend it as good medi-
cine. As result of taking it feel better
than I have for several years."
Paine's celery compound is perfect
nerve food. 1t quickly feeds weakened
parts, removes all irritation, allows the rest
from pain they need SO badly, and restores
all the myriad deep-lying nerve parts all
over the body to a healthy, quiet working.
This is the way this remarkable invigora-
tor makes people well.
Reports of its marvellous working come
from cities as far apart as New Orleans and
Montreal. There is not town large
enough to stand on railroad map that has
not contributed some word of warm praise
and gratitude to the greatest nerve ana
blood remedy of this stirring end of the
10Th century.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-21

The burdens of lite are not equally borne
by men and women.
Women too often suffer from some weak
ness that was never intended for them by
nature.
When trouble or hard work or excite
ment have rendered the nervous system
so morbidly wide-awake that sleep is de-
MED, the over-tired brain must be helped
to get quickly back to its healthy normal
condition or serious mischief ensues.
Paine's celery compound accomplishes
this as nothing else has ever done.
1t at once begins to regulate and equal
ize the overweight nerves and to restore
to them their lost tone.
1t brings to the disabled, debilitated ner-
vous tissues the peculiar nerve food which
they must have to build up their parts.

at present, but will connect at Mojave
with the north bound San Francisco trains
SO that the three and half days time
from Chicago to San Francisco will be
possible. The new trains will be vesti-
buled and will run dining-cars, managed
by that same Fred Harvey who is so
widely known in the West. The Santa Fes
overland track is now undergoing extern
siye repairs and ballasting in anticipa ton
of the advent of the new orange grove
speeder.
The Southern Pacific's Sunset Limited
trains between here and New Orleans will
be put on next month. They will leave San
Francisco and New Orleans twice a week.
This means there will be four trains. They
will all be new trains, being now under
construction at Pullman, and on them the
Southern Pacific people will largely rely in
bidding for the seasons business.

The fine houses of Mrs. A. Chabot, Judge F.

The improvements that will be erected on

dead in small room in the rear part of
the church yesterday afternoon, by Joseph

Dr. w. A. Clark has been attending Swanson
for several months for heart disease, and it is
supposed that Swanson, having taken sick,

The animal became entangled in the dash
board and the greater part of its body was left
resting on the front seat of the dummy II
took several men with crowbars ten minutes
to extricate the animal before the car could
proceed. A lady had been seated Just where
the horses weight rested, and only changed
her position in time to avoid serious injury.
The dummy was No. $685.

FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE.

When Tabor was millionaire in Col
orado he broke into the United States
senate for thirty days at q cost Of a
quarter of g million dollars. When
there he heard much concerning the
MFRS bill and as his bank account
was greater than his intelligence he
told the senate that he was getting
tired Of all this wrangle about the
Mills bill and wanted to know why the
government didn't pay 1t and if the gov
eminent refused to pay it he would
settle it himself and so get rid of the
troublesome business. ..+,e.
There are great many people whose
ideas are as dense concerning the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver as was
the idea Of the Colorado senator in re-
gard to the Mills bill. They persist
in telling their neighbors,. who are
equally as we'll informed, that when free
and unlimited coinage takes place every
man will be free to demand land, of
course, received from the government
silver dollars in unlimited quantities.
The terms, however, are simple and
easy Of explanation. Whenever any
one has silver bullion and can have it
coined into silver dollars at the mint
and the dollars returned to him that is
free coinage, and whenever he is not
restricted as to the amount Of bullion he
shall have coined that is unlimited coin
age. He must first have the bullion,
the government must make it into coin
in the regular way, returning to him the
dollars. This should not be difficult to
understand. u ..$ .a SIX %s Fl. y
