A MODEL OF INDUSTRY

But the Sewers Costume Was Entirely in
Advance of the Season.
In the old-fashioned almanac the page de-
voted to April was adorned with the figure of a
man in his shirt sleeves, wearing a straw hat
and scattering seed from huge apron. He SET
an example of industry, but not OF dress to US
who know that April never passes without
many an overcast, bleak, bitter day.
In such weather we are liable to prosaic
bothersome colds that stop up our noses, make
our eyes water, and stiffen the muscles OF
our backs and limbs, so that we wonder if we
are growing old.
Not bit of it. The blood is sluggish, and
does not carry away broken down tissue-the
ashes of the body. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky
changes all this. 1t is an honest medicinal
stimulant, helpful to revive the tagging
strength when sudden changes of temperature
try the body sorely.
1t quickens the circulation and diffuse a
healthful and most welcome warmth through
the body. Often we find people complaining
at this time of year, that after exposure
it takes them long time TO get
thoroughly warm. A spring cold has. gripped
them with its gauut icy fingers Let them as
sist the processes of life with Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky, and the clutch of the intruder is

ROUND THE UNION.
CycIist Wfnder of the Buffalo Express
Arrives on His Wheel - His
Long Trip.

Tom w. Winder, the cyclist from War
saw, Ind, who is endeavoring to ride
around the coast and border line of the
United States, an estimated distance of
q, 600 miles, in 800 consecutive days, re-
curing daily average of seventy-two
miles, arrived in this City late Sunday
night from San Jose, from which point he
had been escorted to Oakland by Joseph
B. Carey of the Garden City Cyclers.
Mr.. Winder is of slight build, weighing
but 123 pounds. He appears to have stood
his long and but partly finished trip ex-
ceedingly well.
Mr. Winder Is newspaper man and was
sent out by the Buffalo Express, which
paper pays him $500 for the trip besides
his hotel expenses. Besides that he is to
receive $1,000 from bicycle firm for riding
one of their machines if he succeeds in
making the trip within 300 days. He
started out March Ii from New Orleans.
and has made an average of only about go
miles day so far, but the country he has
passed over he thinks is the worst he will
find. Some of his experiences in the
sparsely settled country through Arizona
and New Mexico were rather unpleasant.
One attempt was made to stand him up,
but he scared the robbers off with his
pistol. At times he has been very much
bothered to get his meals regularly. Once
he went thirty-eight hours without food.
The class of transcontinental cyclists
who have arrived here lately have not
been very cordially received by the local
wheelmen, who have been inclined to have
little faith in them. Mr.. Winder, how
ever, seems to be an exception to this class.
He pays his way, stops at the best hotels
and his stories have truthful ring to
them.
To-day he leaves for Sacramento, and
will continue on via Portland to Seattle.
From there he goes East as far as Belfast.
Me-, by way of st. Paul and the shores of
the great lakes. From Belfast he follows
the Atlantic Coast south as far as ST.
Augustine, Fla, and from there to New
Orleans, at which place he must arrive by
January 6, 1896, to win the extra bonus.

HANDBALL CHALLENGES.
Harlow and Condor Are After the
Scalps of Linehan and
Feeney.

A week ago r. Linehan and ]. Feeney of
the Union handball court issued chal-
lenge in the CALL to play any team on the
coast, with the exception of Jones and
Riordan, for valuable trophy.
J. Harlow and J. Condor of the San
Francisco court have accepted the chal-
lenge, the match to consist of nine games,
part to be played in the San Francisco
court, and the remainder in the Union
court. They are willing to leave the selec-
ton of the trophy to the CALL repre-
sentative.
The following letter speaks for itself:
To the Sporting Editor of the Cdu-SIR: As it is
now over week since | made deposit of 800
as guarantee that 1 was neither dreaming
nor joking in issuing my challenge to play
or any other nandball-player, barring Jones,
but did so in good faith, and as Riordan has
failed TO cover my deposit, l now claim the
championship OF the Pacific Coast, and am pre-
pared to defend the title against all corners.
If ex-Champion Riordan would still consent
to play me for $50 or 800 shall allow him to
name the referee, judge and scorer and have
the selection of balls. The only condition l
shall impose is that part of the games be played
in the San Francisco court, and will guarap-
tee he gets fair play. If Riordan should not
accept perhaps younger and better-looking
man" may do so. Yours, etc. ]. HARLOW,
Champion of the Pacific Coast.

JUST A MATTER OF AGE.

woman's Evidence in a Japanese
Case Now on Trial.
1t was one of those peculiar questions
involving a woman's age which made
things look bad for Suzuki Matsutaro yes
terday in the United States District Court.
Matsutaro is charged with having i'm
ported two women, Hatsu and Taku,
respectively, last July, from Japan, for
the jury tomorrow. The women have
been living at st. Mary's street.
Matsutaro's contention was that Taku
was his wife and Hatsu his mother-in-law,
and that after he brought them to this
country they went to the st. Mary's-street
abode voluntarily. Prosecutor Schles-
singer asked Taku what was the age of the
oldest child of Hatsu. She answered 80
years. She was next asked what was
Hatsu's age. The reply was az years AS
there is not much difference seemingly
between the ages of mother and child. the
falsity of the testimony was apparent.
The age of Taku is about Is years and that
of her alleged mother 80 years.

FURNITURE IN A FLAT,
1t Was the Cause of Much Un-
happiness That Led to a
Lawsuit.
How the McFaddens Fought Against
the InStallment
Plan.

There was little suit for $4,000 dam
ages in Judge Hunts court yesterday that
recalled incidents of "Our Flat" as played
by the Emily Bancker Company in this
City some short time ago. In that play
the strongest situation is where the furni-
ture, bought on the installment plan. is
ruthlessly removed by the furniture people
and the inmates improvise furniture to fill
the gap.
But in the suit brought by J. E. McFad-
den and his wife, Della McFadden, against
the Sterling Furniture Company there did
not appear to have been any circumstances
to relieve the taking away of the furniture
which was in the possession of the couple
at 1891 Geary street. They claimed that
the defendant company entered the house,
and in it's entry "broke and injured doors
and walls and carried away clothes, furni-
ture and household goods" all in the dam
age of plaintiffs of $4,000.
1t seems that McFadden first proposed
to sell the furniture and got Auctioneer
Butterfeld to promise to take it for some
$3.50, although it was originally worth
about $500. With that money McFadden
intended TO pay off the Sterling Company
people and pocket small balance. But
terfield paid something to bind the bar
gain, but something came in the way of
1JS Communication ana one Qay ne went up
to the little fiat to see about things. The
Sterling Company people, according to the
story of witnesses, suspected that Nc
Fadden meant to dispose of the furniture
to some one else besides Butterfield, and
had sent man to watch it.
Therefore on the same day that Butter
field went out to the fat there happened
to arrive there some agents of the Sterling
Company. The McFaddens were out. How
entry was obtained is question, some
witnesses swearing to violent means and
others to finding a key conveniently placed.
However that was, things soon began to
fly. The very carpets were torn up and
packed off and when Mr.. and Mrs. McFad-
den returned from their little stroll they
found state of complete devastation in
the place of the elegance, order and luxury
that had reigned in their fiat.
George Perry, their attorney, yesterday
depicted in touching tones the wreck of a
happy home and Attorney Captain"
Smith "stood him off, with violent innuen-
does against McFadden's motives and
methods. The case went to the jury at
late hour.
Last night the jury returned verdict of
500 for the plaintiff.

DEFINED AS FURNITURE.
General Appraisers Decision as to Ar
tistic Bric-a-Brac


tistic Bric-a-Brac.
A matter of interest to dealers in artistic
furniture is Incorporated in the decision of
the board of general appraisers on the pro-
test of an importer against paying duty
of % per cent ad valorem upon bric-a-
brac cabinet, upon the panels of which was
painting in oil colors, and which had
been assessed as "house or cabinet furni-
ture of wood"
The protestant claimed that the article
should have been admitted free of duty as
a painting" under the clause of the tariff
act admitting paintings free. The lam
guage of the tariff act is that "the word
painting shall not be so understood as to
include such as are made wholly, or in
part, by stenciling or other process"
The board of general appraisers cites de-
cisions of the United States Supreme Court
pointing out line OF demarcation in cases
of this kind, which decisions define the
word painting as work of art "inuended
solely for ornamental purposes and mot
