A continuous down pour of rain, incle- ment weather, generally in winter and spring, are unfavorable to all classes of invalids. But warmth and activity infused into the circulation counter acts these influences and interpose a defense against them. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most thorough and effective of stomachics and tonics, not only enriches the blood but accelerates its circulatian. For a chill, or pre- monitory symptoms of rheumatism and kidney complaint, particularly prevalent at these seasons, it is the best possible remedy. It is also invalu- atle for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, and nervousness. Never set out on a winter or spring journey without it. Elderly persons and the delicate and convalescent are greatly sided by it.

tiSement.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
OBS Broadway Dee %

90S Broadway, Dec. "a. {
A very pretty little romance is being
quietly worked out in Haywards that
promises to END in a visit of the marriage
license clerk.
One of the busiest men in the busy
steam laundry there is Samuel Maggart.
By his side, the whole day long, is a refined
little woman. The cause of her presence
in the busting hive IS the foundation OF
this romance.
For long time Samuel Maggart has
been known as street preacher at Hay
wards. He has been thrifty and is tolera-
bly, good looking, but somehow or other he
was not drawing card at the game of
matrimony. A year ago Sam advertised
in the San Francisco papers for wife.
He received scores of answers, but in
each one there was something lacking.
Sam had an idea and the mail service
brought nothing that approached it. All
the Bay City maidens and many from
north and south thought they would just
suit Sam to perfection, but-Sam thought
otherwise.
Disappointed at his local venture. Sam
advertised in an Eastern paper. He re-
ceived $50 letters from maidens and others
who considered themselves eligible, and
among these was one from Miss c. Carter
of Kansas City. After the passage OF a
couple of letters photographs were ex-
changed, and Miss Carter decided to come
out to California.
An engagement was at once formed and
then followed one of the most practical
experiences that ever fell to the lot OF
young people at that impractible period
of their life.
Sam and Miss Carter settled down to
cold figures and found out that it would
be necessary to possess a few more dollars
before it would be safe to risk housekeep-
ing. So Sam went to work as usual and
the polishing machines seemed never to
run so smoothly as when Miss Carter
stood by. On one occasion the manager
spoke to Sam and asked him if the pres
ence of the young lady did not somewhat
retard the progress of the collars and cuffs
through the rollers, but Sam proved that
the reverse was the truth. So the young
lady remained.
Miss Carter is sweet-faced girl, of dark
complexion, and is just out of her teens.
She was at the laundry yesterday while
her lover told his story, and the narrative
did not seem to discomfort her in the least.
"We have not yet fixed the day." said
Sam, "but it is not far off now. We
thought it better to wait little while,
than start out before We had anything
ready to commence on a busIness-like
basis. We both realize that it is very
serious undertaking, and we do not intend
to go into debt at the outset. Miss Carter
has come a long way, but she is not at all
impatient, and the New Year"
New YearY queried Miss Carter, as
though the date were news to her. Mr.
Maggart blushed, fed collars to the polsher
rather ervously, and the interview ended.
Sans employer divulged as a great
secret the news that the marriage was
billed for Christmas day.

MRS. C. C. GAIT is COMING.

Women Suffragists Secured Valuable
Acquisition to Their Corps.
One of the many evidences that the
women suffragists are thoroughly in ear
nest in their preparation for an active
cam paign in 1896 is that they have en-
listed the services of Mrs Carrie Chapman
Gait.
The lady is young, talented and hand
some, and IN the direct line of succession
to the possession of Miss Susan B. An
thongs scepter when til at uncrowned ruler
shall have laid it down. Mrs. Gait has
/ accepted the invitation to make lecture
tour of the State, and the suffragists are
greatly pleased with the valuable acquisi-
ton to their working forces.
Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw will ar
rive in the early spring. Mrs. Gait will
Join them somewhat later. 1t is expected
that the trio will assist in the Woman's
Congress, to be held the first week in May,
and that all will remain until Novem Der.
Arrangements are being made for the
importation of an organizer to supple
ment the work of Mrs. Hester A. Harland,
whose health has suffered under the strain
of her duties in organizing woman-suf-
frage clubs throughout the State, work
she has been engaged in since July.
Ii is not known as yet which of two
ladies, we'll known in these lines of endea-
vor in the East, will be G. osen.
The campaign will open the latter part
of March and will be waged in the form of
county conventions, lectures organization
of clubs and circulation of petitions.
Nothing will be left undone that can
be DONE" said Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, chair
man of the Constitutional Amendment
Campaign Committee, yesterday. ''There
are notes of encouragement all along the
line, and we are very hopeful of success"
1t is expected that a great wave of en-
thusiasm will be. radiated from the
Woman's Congress which. it is expected,
will make ''Woman in Government its
theme. Indications are that there will be
a larger attendance upon the next con-
vention than has been Known in any of the
women's congresses held in the State.

William Wilson, sergeant OF Troop B,

of the best-known non-commissioned off

at II: 80 P. NJ. Sunday, after suffering in
tensely for about six weeks from cancer of
the stomach. He was about So years of
age, and at the time OF his death was sta
toned at the Preside.
Sergeant Wilson bore the enviable rec
ord of being the only soldier who was
twice decorated by Congress for bravery
on the field of battle. His two medals
were won in Indian campaigns under Gen.
eral Mackenzie, though he had also fought
under Miles and Crook.
He was a member of the G. A. R., the
Medal of Honor Legion and of the Army
and Navy Union.
When the character of his disease was
first made known to him he knew it meant
death, but he bore his suffering with the
same spirit of fortitude, patience and
bravery that characterized his more active
deeds of valor. 1t became known on Sun
day that his end was near and the entire
squadron of cavalry visited the dying
soldier to bid him farewell. The scene
was most touching as each son of war
shook hands with his beloved comrade for
the last time.
Deceased had but one year more to serve
in order to be placed on the retired list
with three-quarters pay. He had served
Uncle Sam for twenty-nine years. This
service was continuous, except for a period
OF five years, ending in 1882, during which
he held lucrative position as superin-
tendent OF street railway in Philadelphia.
