The position of commissioner of min
ing with its $1,000 year salary, travel
ing expenses, patronage, perquisites
and pulls, unquestionably looks very
tempting to the professional agitator,
as he views it in the glimmering light
of his personal desire; but it would
nevertheless be huge disappointment
fancy that it would in any sense pro-
mote the public welfare.

Season

Jack Barnes, formerly manager of the
Minneapolis Club. and Charles Comiskey,

series OF games in this City, Oakland, San
Jose and Los Angeles during To winter,
the teams to be made up of well-known
professionals from all over the country.
The scheme Is considered one of the
greatest in the baseball line since the
famous round-the-world tour of the Spald-
ing team. The first game will be played
on the Central Park diamond in this City
October 16. Messrs. Barnes and Comiskey
with their aggregation will leave St. Paul
on the I'D, travelling i'll private car
These two professional teams will play
games in twenty-eight towns en- route to
the coast. The California season will
close December IL. The Milwaukee and
All-California teams come by the way of
Denver.
San Francisco will be represented by the
All-Americans, John S. Barnes of Mil
waukee; Oakland. Charles Comiskey; San

HEADACHE.

A woman who suffers from headaches,
as a rule, gets very little sympathy, and
yet there is no ailment which is so very
hard to bear, or from which more physical
pain comes. They are usually either ner-
vous, or produced by torpid liver, al
though they accompany score or more
diseases. But from whatever cause arising,
it has been proved beyond the slightest
doubt that they may be removed entirely
by judicious use of that great Califor MIA n
remedy, JOYS Vegetable 'Sarsaparilla. 1t
is the greatest system regulator in the
world, and any woman who suffers should
be certain to get it at once.

DYSPEPSIA.

Have you ever seen floating before your
eyes little spots which look like dust, and
which move about from place to place and
yet never go out of sight altogether? Do
you have pains in the stomach, lack of
appetite and languishing feeling? All
these are signs of dyspepsia, which is one
of the commonest diseases .amongsr US.
And it is a very dangerous one, too. If
not attended to in its earliest stages it leads
to complications of most serious nature,
and as there is a certain cure for it, it
seems strange that any one who has any
of these symptoms should neglect them
for single day. JOYS Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla never fails to restore the stomach
to its proper condition, and radically cures
this dangerous malady.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
In the Regulation of Elec-
trio Lamps.
Both Arc and incandeScent Lamps
Now Under Control of
the User.

1t is only within the past few weeks that
arc lights have been placed under the COM
plete control of the user The ordinary
incandescent lamp, it is well known, is as
completely under the control of the user
as the gasjet. Now, however, thanks to
the introduction Of a switchboard, the arc
lamp is under equally perfect control.
Perhaps the best illustration of the prac-
teal working of this new service is to
be found in the White House. This we'll
known establishment uses no less than
sixty-eight arc lamps in addition to It's 200
incandescent lights. All the current used
by the house is automatically measured,
and there are seven meters in the basement
on the switchboard referred to. Previous
TO the introduction of the latter the arc
lights were controlled directly from the
central station, and the users were subject
to tie disposition of the lights imposed
upon them from that station. Now, how
ever, the lights are used when and where
they are needed. In front of the large
show-windows there are eighteen arc
lamps. The switchman at 9: 80 at night, or
whenever else may be desired, can turn
these lamps off, and without moving from
his position can illumine the street in
front of the store by turning a second
switch, which brings the eight post lamps
at the edge of the sidewalk into play.
Within the store all the lamps, whether
arc or incandescent, are controlled with
equal ease.
A novel and pretty use is now made of
the electric lights in the art department Of
the White House. A very large and hand
some showcase is used for the display OF
cut-glassware. and to show this to best ad-
vantage fifteen incandescent lamps have
been introduced within the case, and are
operated by switch on the outside. These
lamps have ground-glass globes and
ground-giass half-shades, affordinag a very
soft and pretty light, which is reflected in
prismatic colors from the myriad facets Of
the cut-glass.
Roos Bros, on the opposite corner of
Post and Kearny streets, have also availed
themselves of the great convenience OF an
individual switchboard. They use no less
than thirty arc lamps and four hundred in
candescent lights, every one OF which is di-
rectly under their own control. Newman
& Levinson have similar control of their arc
and incandescent lamps, turning them on
and off as required.

KING WAS STARTLED.
The Emmanuel Church Organist
Caught by an Idea.

The Emmanuel Church Organist
Caught by an Idea.
George King, the organist of Emmanuel
Baptist Church, expected to be called to
the witness-stand yesterday to testify con-
corning Theodore Durrant's alleged ap-
pearance before him in the church on the
afternoon of April 3 in fustered and ex-
hausted condition.
The day was consumed in the examina-
ton of the witnesses preceding him, and
King was therefore compelled to loiter
about one of the anterooms adjoining
Judge Murphy's courtroom.
Time hung heavy on his hands, and for
the want of better amusement he COM
menced to tie and unite all sorts of knots,
sailor, etc., with the end of a window-cdr-
tain cord which hung conveniently close
to the settee on which he reclined.
Finally, in his Observation-Disclosures, he
commenced to form the hangman's moose.
When it was completed he placed the loop
over one of his fingers and slowly, medi-
tatingly, drew up the moose.
King has been one of Durrants intimate
friends and perhaps knows as much about
his life as any other person outside the
| accused mans own family.
As the cord frightened upon his flesh the
horrible suggestiveness of what he was
doing dawned upon him. For the instant
he seemed to see the moose about his
friends neck in all its terrible reality.
| His cheek blanched and he sprang up and
| threw the cord from him, exclaiming:
MY God if it should come to thatl"
Nervousness took the place of absent
mindedness at once and King paced up and
| down the room the rest of the afternoon as
| feyerishly as though he were a much
nearer friend than he is, and was actually
waiting the jury's verdict
| King will go on the stand this morning
| at the opening of court and will be fol-
lowed by Lucille Turner Janitor Sademan,
and, if possible, Pawnbroker 0ppenheim
| and w. J. Phillips. The latter is the new
ly found witness who believes he saw Dur
rant leaving the pawnshop.
Miss Turner will be called with reference
| to the testimony of Mrs. Caroline Leak,
| taken yesterday. Mrs. Leak swore that it
was either Blanche Lamont or Miss Turner
whom she saw enter the churohyard with
| Durrant. Miss Turner will be expected to
| testify that it was not she. and thus estab-
! llsh the fact that it was Blanche Lamont.
| When these witnesses have been exam
ined District Attorney Barnes will attack
the case of the defense by calling a num-
Der and perhaps all the members of Dur
rants class to testify that he was not pres
ent at DR.. Cheney's lecture on the after
noon of April 8. This will practically close
the taking OF testimony for the people.

TO GET 1T.

1t is of the utmost importance that when
you order JOYS Vegetable Sarsaparilla
from druggist you take pains to see that
he does not palm off some inferior substi-
tute on you for it. The unscrupulous deal
ers will invariably try to do so, but if a
man attempts to rob you of your good
money for an inferior article you would do
well never to give him the opportunity
again. INSIST on JOYS. and then, and
then only are you safe.
