A Remarkable
Case.

About two years ago was confined to my
room with breaking out on my leg which my
physician pronounced Eczema. About three
weeks ago the same disease broke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend
ing me regularly, calling from once to twice
daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A
friend called to see me, and brought about
one half teaspoonful OF CUTIcURA, advising
me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and
mother having been cured by it.. l would
not try it at first, although l had been on
clutches for over two weeks, and at one time
counted between twenty-five and thirty suppur-
ating sores, and had not slept more than five
hours in three nights. Monday morning about
four o'clock the pain, burning and itching be-
came SO severe that l determined to try CUTI-
cURA, thinking that if it did no good, it could
not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw
as a piece of beef and as red as beet, SO
applied the CUTIeURA and in five minutes after
laid down was asleep. Next day sent ana

word / would not take 500 to-day for it, If l

man who first compounded CUTIcURA is pro-
found. May God bless him.

inson bow. The men average l61 pounds
in weight, and are in fine condition. They
pull the same stroke which Cornell used
in the Henley regatta and with which
Harvard beat Yale twenty-five lengths
in 1885.
The Columbia crew began training two
weeks ago. Every evening they row over
the two-mile course using the Varsity gig,
because their boat is not yet finished and
will not be till within day or two OF the
race. This, of course, is disadvantage,
but the Columbias, on account OF their
greater experience in rowing, are Wiling
to concede that much to their opponents.
The members of the crew are: Leon
Smith, stroke; Alec Rosborough, No. 2;
f. 2. Howard, No. 3; IL. II. Halght, bow,
and George Clement, coxswain. All the
men show ND well and are mastering the
details of the celebrated Bob Cook Yale
stroke, on which Trainer Ernest Folger
insists.
In boating experience the Columbus
have slight advantage over the Varsity
four, but two of their men have never
rowed in a race before, and in fact most OF
the noted oarsmen of that organization
are now out of the city.

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE.
May-Day Festivals = The Excursion Up the
Sacramento River.

May-Day Festivals = The Excursion Up the
Sacramento River.
Alfred Bouvier, chairman of the enter
tainment committee of the Half-million
Club, yesterday outlined the present plans
of that committee to a representative of
the CALL.
"The excursion" said Mr.. Bowler, twill
arrive in San Francisco from Menlo Park
between and o'clock on the afternoon
of April 30, but there will be no programme
for the night of April 80.
at is proposed to make Wednesday, MAY
1, May day holiday, and all merchant
and business houses will be requested to
make as elaborate and brilliant display
of bunting as possible, in order to give the
city genuine holiday appearance.
The committee feels sure of active CO.
operation in this matter on the part of the
principal stores. On the LIST of Nav, the
May-day festival will be in progress in
Oakland, ana the committee on entertain
ment will place itself in communication
with the managers of the Oakland festival
and will make suitable arrangements for
the utilization of that particular means of
entertainment:
Mr.. Bowler said:
We hope to arrange for grand review of the
troops at the Presidio, and that will be de-
cided feature.
On the afternoon of May day there viii be a.
grand double concert at Golden Gate Park, and
It is expected that many business houses will
close in the afternoon TO enable employees and
others TO enjoy some of the daylight attrac-
TONS
In the evening there will be the brilliant
illumination of the bay, and it is expected
that all the shipping in the harbor will lend
friendly hand TO add to the brilliancy of the
occasion.
On May 2 the bay and Sacramento River ex-
cursion will be the closing feature, and this is
a matter of vital importance to the general
scheme.
The trip up the Sacramento River as far as
Knights Landing, returning by train, will be
the main event of that day, and 1t is as yet un-
and river excursions or whether TO attempt a
double excursion. The preference is for a
single excursion. One of the handsome side

THE TAX UNCHANGED.
Tho Chosen Friends Decide That They
Want No Reduc-
ton.

! Hardly had the session of the Grand
Council of the Chosen Friends been called
to order by Grand Councillor Sewage, yes
terday, when motion was made to recon
slider the vote by which it had been de-
cided Wednesday TO retain the per capita
tax at 81. The motion, however, was
promptly declared out of order on the
ground that the matter had been finally
disposed of Wednesday for the session.
An appeal was taken, but only five votes
were recorded against sustaining the de-
clsion of the grand councillor, and thus
ended what had been one of the burning
questions of the session.
Without loss of time the question of BIZ
ennial or annual sessions was placed be-
fore the representatives, and after a short
debate it was decided, by large majority,
to meet annually, and April 8, 1896, was
fixed as the date of the next convention.
1t had previously been decided to hold it
again in this city.
The laws were then amended so as to
provide for the payment of mileage and
per diem to all representatives. Hereto
fore only one delegate from each council
had been granted this allowance, all the
others paying their own expenses, though
in some instances five representatives were
accredited to the grand council from sin
gle council.
A resolution was passed instructing the
executive committee to appoint organizers,
who are to be paid their actual travelling
expenses $25 month, 500 for each new
lodge instituted and 50 for each member
thereof
A rising vote of thanks was rendered the
press of San Francisco for the publication
