GENERAL Dimond has MADE application
to the War Department to secure regular
army otficer for A. d. c. The officer has
been chosen, but the consent of the de-
partment is necessary for the performance
of the duty.
General Dimona intends to make his
staff as efficient as possible in a military
sense. Wherever he can strengthen it by
the appointment of men of practical
knowledge of duty in the field he will en-.
deavor to REINFORCE it.
The little tumult in the Second Brigade
caused by General Dickinson's refusal tc
turn over records and material to General
Wartield does not disturb the division
commander. General Dimond said yester.
day that he will pay no attention to Dick.
lnson's pretensions to command that bri.
gade. He cannot see how any of the regi
mental commanders can refuse to recognize
and obey General Warfield.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
From the Ashtabula (Ohio) Beacon.

Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmlra, n. Y, and from there enlisted in
the One hundred and Eighty-ninth Regiment,
N. Y, V. l., with which he went through the
war and saw much hard service. Owing to
exposure and hardships during the service
MI. Taylor contracted chronic diarrh9a, from
which he has suffered now over thirty years,
with absolutely no help from physi clans. By
nature he was wonderfully vigorous man.
Had he not been, his disease and the expert
ments of the doctors would have killed him
long ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had terrible
headaches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour a day on an average, and he
was reduced to skeleton. year ago he and
his wife sought relief in a change of climate
and removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the change
in health came not. Finally, on the recon-
mendation of F. ]. Hoffner, the leading drug
gist OF Geneva, who was cognizant of similar
cases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr. Taylor
was persuaded to try q box. GAS drowning
man grasps straw so took the pills. says
Mr.. Taylor, 'sbut with no more hope of rescue

pills commenced to feel better, and when |
had taken en- the first box | was in fact a new

ress is steady, and he has the utmost conf
dence In them. He has regained full control
OF his nerves and sleeps as well as in his youth
Color is coming back to his parched veins and

now able to do considerable outdoor work
AS he concluded narrating his sufferings ex
perlence and cure to Beacon reporter, Mrs.
Taylor, who has been his faithful helpmeet
these many years, said she wished to add her
testimony in favor of Pink Pills. ITO the pills
alone is due the credit of raising Mr. TAYLOR
from a helpless invalid to the man he is to-
day." said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Iaylor cannot lind words to express the graft
tude they feel or recommend too highly Pink

dressed TO them at Geneva, o., regarding Mr..

tainly not. The Governor is the COM
mander-in- chief of the National Guard,
and every soldier knows that when the
commander in-chief orders one to take
command of any body of troops the only
thing to do is to take command. This /
have done, and the CALL this morning
published my first orders. The men have,
think, no doubt as to whom they should
obey
Suppose, General, that General Dickin-
son should be advised that he is still in
command. and that two sets of brigade or
ders should be issued at the same time
and should be in conflict. Would not that
cause confusion in the brigade?"
''That is not supposable case. General
Dickinson is not going to do anything OF
the kind. He is a sensible man and will
do nothing so foolish
'sBut suppose that the officers and men
of the brigade decide that Dickinson is en-
titled to command, and refuse to obey
your orders?"
The general smiled firmly and remarked
1.-THE articles of war make provision for
such a contingency"
But Notwithstanding General Warfield' s
com placency it is more than possible that

Southern Pacific Officials Have Been
Occupied With the New Associa-

at the meeting in Chicago Thursday for
the purpose of forming a transcontinenta
association, bearing upon passenger bust

passenger agents of all roads in the COM

The organization is on sound financial

shepherd-that was the wonder of the
town. The drawing was good, while the
coloring was very faithful. The praise &C
corded it made him long for the knowledge
that would enable him to do better.
lie mad heard of Mayor Sutro's furnish
ing talented Young girl means with which
to finish her musical education in Ger
many. Hoping that he, too, would be
helped, he wrote Mr.. Sutro telling of him
self and his hopes. An answer soon came
back that though the Mayor could not help
him financially, he would be pleased to
see Mr.. Preciado's work, and would do
what he could to assist him.
Mr.. Preciado at once came to town with
number of sketches and his picture of
the dogs. Mr.. Sutro was delighted. He
gave the young man a letter to James D.
PheIan, advising that gentleman of Mr.
Preciado's talent, and suggesting the adj
visibility of allowing him to pursue his
studies with the Art Association free of
charge.
This was done. Mr.. Preciado worked
faithfully, and at the end of a month
showed so much ability and was so gener-
| ously praised by his instructors that Mr..
Pheian became interested. AS the young
artists father was too poor to make his son
any allowance Mr.. Phelan suggested to
Mr.. Sutro that they supply the necessary
money, each contributing half. Mr.. Sutro
replied that money was so scarce he could
hardly afford it. He assured Mr.. Phelan,
| however, that there could be no doubt of
Mr. Preciado's merit and the desirability
of helping him.
| Mr.. Phelan was disappointed at the an
| swer, as he looked upon young Preciado
rather as protege of the Mayor Still he
was unwilling to see the lad forced to give
up his studies. He, therefore, announced
| that he would pay the young mans ex-
penses entirely out of his own pocket.
The accompanying picture of himself
was drawn by Mr.. Preciado short time
ago. 1t is made with lead pencil, and

PERILOUS POLITICS.
T. NJ. OConnor Found Guilty of a
Felony I'm Refusing to Sign
Tally-Sheets.

1dIIy-SneeGSs
A jury in Judge Wallaces court yester-
day brought in verdict of equity as
charged in the case of P. M. O'Connor,
accused of felony in refusing as in
spector of an election booth to sign the
tally-sheets in the Sixteenth Precinct of
the Thirty-frst Assembly District at the
last municipal election.
The Judge had instructed the jury that
there was such a thing as 'innocent
neglect" A locomotive engineer who ran
over and killed a pedestrian was supposed
to exercise due caution in running his
engine, and to be fully conscious of his re-
sponsibility. Ifit were shown that know
ingly he had omitted to slow down or ring
warning bell at the time of the accident
the fact that he had not intended to do
wrong would not save him.
Attorney Reddy, for the defendant,
argued that the absence of intent to do
wrong and the presence of desire to avoid
crimlnallty by not signing sheets which
might have been tempered with should
initiate to absolve his client.
Assistant District Attorney Black con-
ing the ballot should be preserved against
all infringement, and that if it were
shown that the wheels of a great
public interest could be blocked by
any one under the plea of innocence or a
desire to shirk the responsibility he was
sworn to assume, dangerous precedent
might be established.
After celebrating for over four hours
the jury returned verdict as stated and
the case was put down for the 31st to be
set. 1t is expected that it will be carried
to the Supreme Court. The penalty is a
fine of not less than $1,000 or imprisonment
in the State Prison for not more than five
wears.

A BRIGHT YOUNG ARTIST,
A. F. Preciado to Be Educated
in Painting by James
D. Phelan.
Though Without Instructions the
Lad Accomplishes Some Sur
prising Results.

The little southern town of MADEIRA has
young artist in the person of Alexander
Fabian Preciado, of whom it may we'll be
proud. The lad is but IS years of age, and
has, without instruction, developed so
marked degree of talent with the brush
that James d. Phelan, the president of the
Art Association, has undertaken the ex-
pense of giving him thorough training
in painting. Mr.. Preciado is the son of
Mexican parents, who are pioneers OF
MADEIRA. The father, though in poor cir
cumstances, gave his children good COM
mon-school education.
Alexander was particularly apt. Still he
was fonder of his pencil than of his books,
and was always drawing pictures. AS he
grew Older he began to work with paints,
and tried more ambitious efforts.
All this time he was working without

clines to step down and out-at least for
the present. He holds the opinion that
the law passed by the last Legislature re-
firing the brigadiers affects only those
tire officers whose brigades were by its
provisions abolished. He has consulted
counsel on that point and they are to de-
liver an opinion to-day. If they decide
that Dickinson is legally retired he will at
once surrender the command, otherwise a
contest for the Office will be in order.
In the mean time the old commander OF
the Second Bri gade consistently declines
to speak OF the Governor's most recent APP
pointee other than as "Coloner' Warfield.
"There is no difficulty of a personal ma
ture between Colonel Warfield and my
self,' said General Dickinson yesterday.
Our relations are pleasant, just as they
have always been. l do not, however,
wish to be retired unless it is legally done,
nor does Colonel Warfield, think. desire
to do anything that is not strictly legal.
The new law certainly requires three brig
adiers. Its effect has been to and couple
of counties to my brigade and to take one
from it, but [ do not see that that should
affect my standing as its commander.
have consulted with at torneys as to the
meaning of the law and they will reach a
decision tomorrow. Ii they hold that /
am legally retired shall at once turn over
the command to Colonel Warfield."
But if they decide that you are not re-
tired"
II shall not retire"
I'm that case what will be the proper
course for Warfield to pursue to obtain the
commando" was asked.
Probably the same course pursued by
Stewart Menzies against Police Commits
sioner Gunst. The Governor thought that
Gunst had no right to be Police Commits
sioner and appointed Stewart Menzies in
his place, but notice that Nose is going
right along just the same"
General Warfield apparently views the
situation with the utmost equanimity. He
seeks to avoid anything like controversy
with Dickinson, and it is with the greatest
difficulty that he can be induced to make
any statement in the premises. He said
'It is with the future of the brigade that
I have to do and not with its past, and
General Dickinson has nothing in the way
of records or supplies that would, SO far as
