tific, successful and positive cure for

J. Shores treatment for the cure of Ca
tarrh and Chronic Diseases, DR.. Shores will

DR.. A. J. Shores, the founder and origi-
nator of the system which bears his name,
is graduate of the medical department of
the University of Louisville, KY, one of
the oldest and most reliable medical col
| leges in the world. Five years of DR..
| Shores life were constantly devoted to the
perfecting of his wonderful treatment for
the cure of Catarrh and Chronic Diseases.
| To further prove the wonderful success
of DR.. Shores treatment it might be we'll
to mention the names of few of the
physicians who have adopted it, and who
will be in personal attendance at the San
Francisco Office with DR.. Shores.
Well-known to every resident of San
| Francisco is the name of DR.. A. j. Howe,
who for twenty-tw years has been actively
engaged in the practice of medicine. For
three years Dr. Howe held the honorable
position of resident physician of the United
States Marine Hospital in San Francisco;
late professor of anatomy and associate
professor of surgery in the Hahnemann
Hospital College, also in this City.
DR.. r. B. New, who is also in attendance
at the San Francisco office, is a graduate of
the Kentucky School of Medicine of Louis
vile. Having had vast experience in the
leading hospitals of America has made DIR.
New valuable assistant in the admins
tration of DR.. Shores treatment.
The instruments and appliances for the
treatment and cure of catarrh and chronic
diseases used by DIR. Shores are of his own
invention. DR.. Shores is an originator, not
an imitator.
DR.. Shores will remain permanently in
San Francisco, having made all his leases
and contracts for term of years.
DIR. Shores parlors in the Nucleus block
are the finest in the City of San Francisco,
and it is the earnest desire of DR.. Shores
and associates that every sufferer from
Catdrrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia,
Nervousness. Rheumatism, Lung Troubles
Liver and Bladder Complaints, and all deep
seated, obstinate and chronic diseases
should call on or before September and
be treated for two weeks FREE OF COST.

cepted. All that is required of you is a
call at DR.. Shores offices, and you will be
given, entirely free of charge, treatment
and medicine for your troubles. Start in
Monday morning at o'clock. Come early

nous offer.

One of the most reliable and one OF the
most successful physicians in the West to-
day is DIR. A. ]. Shores. Two years ago
DR.. Shores discovered and perfected treat

Diseases. At that time little attention was
PAID to this now wonderful treatment. and,
like all great inventions, DR.: Shores dis

ing shipped thither on the brig Geneva.
One is the Alice, 100 feet long and about
400 tons burden. She contains over 100, 600
feet of lumber and is being loaded onto the
brig in sections.
The other is the little stern-wheel steamer
Beaver. She weighs just seventeen tons,
but when stripped of her boiler and wheel
for hosting aboard the Geneva, she will
balance the scale at twelve tons. She draws
about fifteen inches of water and is ad-
m1rably htted Tor the shallow tributaries
OF the Yukon, where she will be used The
vessel is of twenty tons burden and her en-
gine is about thirty horsepower She is
without house or deck and her machinery,
completely exposed, gives her an uncanny
and skeleton-llke appearance.

BEFORE The FOOTL|GHTS,
Continued Success of Humpty
Dumpty Up to Date at
the Baldwin.
DRAMA AT THE COLUMBIA
Levy, the Celebrated Cornetist.
Irish Drama at the
AlCazar.

The fact that "Humpty Dumpty Up to Date"
has met with the approval of the public is at
tested by the crowded houses that it is draw
ing at the Baldwin.
The performance is certainly attractive
enough to satisfy the most exacting admirers
OF the spectacular and as for the little people
they are fairly brimming over with fun, and
seem to enjoy the acting as much as the audi
ence do. Elms Goerner is a particularly clever
little artist, the little blacksmith is equally
good, and Pierrot is remarkably quaint
The fun OF the Harlequinade is fast and furi.
Gus, and when real live pig trots on the stage
he is welcomed with great applause. The bal
lets are pretty and graceful, and if the steps OF
the coryphees are not always perfect that does
not prevent the whole effect from being gor-
geous. The ballet of flies and the hunting
scene are both effective, and the grotto of dia.
monds is gorgeous The ballet of the Humpty
Dumpties is about the best of the ballets.
Altogether "Humpty Dumpty" IS full OF
clever effects and enables the theater-goer tc
pass an evening of unadulterated fun.

violinists have heard words of encourage
ment from the masters lips; others, alas
have not been so fortunate.
OF the fortunate few who have received
commendatory criticisms is Pietro Marino,
a young man of Italian parentage. Pietro
is but 16 years of age, yet he already per-
forms with credit. He has been to Europe,
but recently came here with his parents.
When Ysaye commenced his concert
season at the Baldwin. the boy went to
hear him, and when he came home he be-
sought his father and mother to get him
an audience with the great violinist. This
was granted him, and, at the request of
Ysaye, he played the "Sceno Ballet" a
rather difficult composition for the violin.
His rendition of the piece was highly salts
factory to the master, who wrote short
testimonial of his abilities as follows:
MAY II, 1895.
The young man has talent, and think that,
good artist. The best thing to do is to have
him come on September 18th or Goth to
take some private lessons of me, and then from
an assistant for the beginning of his studies,
then later on he can enter the conservatory.
E. YsAYE.
The young mans father and mother,
feeling that the words of Ysaye are pro-
phetic of future greatness for their son,
have determined to allow him to go to
Brussels, where he will study at the Con-
servatOire.
And so Pietro Marino, aged 16k wears. is
fired with ambition to emulate Paganini.
He will start to do SC in the month oil
August.

STRYCHNINE WAS FOUND.
An Analysis Shows That a Large Guam
tity of That Drug Killed Mrs.
Matthews.

Mrs. Jennie Matthews, who died last
Saturday night after accusing the assistant
superintendent of Laurel Hill Cemetery of
having poisoned her, is not likely soon to
be forgotten. In her ante-mortem state
ment she said that he had forced her to
take an arsenic pill, and she is in a manner
correborated by her six-year-old daughter.
The stomach and its contents were sent
to Chemist c; L. Morgan for analysis, and
after partial analysis he reported yester-
day that quantities of strychnine were
found.
Professor Green also made an ANALYSIS.
and he found traces of the deadly drug.
The police are of the opinion that it was
case of suicide, but as soon as the chem
lst tiles his Official report a searching ex-
animation into the facts of the case will
be begun.

WILL SUE GRACE CHURCH,
Mrs. WestWater Is Preparing
to File Complaint for
Damages.
In the Last Suit Rev. r. Foute
Avoided Going on the Wit
neSS-Stand.

The end of the trouble caused by the
summary dismissal of Mrs. Eunice West
water from Grace. Church has not come
yet. In few days suit for damages will
be filed in the Superior Court against
Grace Church.
my wife's health has been very much
affected by the unpleasantness arising out
of the whole affair." said Robert West.
water, husband of the singer, yesterday,
"but she is placed in the position OF
having to choose between injustice or the
notoriety of a lawsuit, and she has decided
to commence the lawsuit.
"In September, 1893, the organist at
Grace Church told Mrs. Westwater that he
had heard she contemplated resigning her
position suddenly in order to sing else
where. This suggestion worried her, for
she would never have deserted her position
without giving due notice. Seeing how
seriously she took the organist's words, I
called upon Rev. Robert Foute that even
ing, and told him that Mrs Westwater had
no in tention of leaving Grace Church, and
that If he wished she would undertake
never to leave his choir without six
months notice, if he on his part would
agree to the same conditions. DIR. Foute
readily assented to this.''
The contralto's husband went on to ex-
plan plan now the new soprano, Miss
water. "We claim that their action was
what is called "a put-up job to get rid OF
my Wife. DR.. Foute, who had been
musical director, suddenly retired last
February in favor of committee of ladies
consisting of Mrs. W. H. Crocker, Mrs.
Wilson and Miss Gwin. Mrs Crocker
at once wrote a letter Of dismissal to Mrs.
Westwater, which was verv wounding in
tone-it was evidently intended to wound
when we began suit for the fulfillment
of the contract DR.. Foute said he had no
remembrance of having made verbal
contract with me. Ny desire was to see
what he would say on the witness-stand
and for that reason / readily granted three
continuances, but he never appeared and
the case went last week by default. 1t has
been said that DR.. Foute had no right to
make any contract with singer, but he
has frequently acted as the accredited
agent of the church in musical matters, as
we can readily prove"
Mrs. Westwater's lawyers are W. w.
Foote and A. L. Vogelsang. The latter
gentleman, when questioned respecting
the suit, said: THE complaint is not filed.
which we shall do tomorrow"
The charges Mr.. Vogelsang stated to be
damage to Mrs. Westwater's artistic rep
Itation by her sudden dismissal from the
church where she had sung so long and
also the injury done to her health by the
charges. Mental agony, we call it in
law" he said. "Mr. Foote, who has seen
Mrs. Westwater, says that she is in a
highly nervous condition.
This statement is borne out py the testi-
mony of Mrs. Westwater's friends, who
say that brooding over her dismissal has
preyed so much on her mind that her
health is seriously affected.

The young miners from this City who

around their starting point forever.
She put off few days ago, but was
forced to return with broken pump. Re-
pairs were made and yesterday she started
again for the north, but before she got out
to sea she collided with the steam schooner
Alcazar and lost her bowsprit and iib-
boom. The vessel came back, and is now
in Oakland Creek.
1t will be a week or two before she can be
repaired and it is very doubtful whether

ORDERS WERE FORGED.

Manager Moore of the Auditorium
Wants His Agent, George Os-
good, Arrested.
T. K. Moore. manager of the Auditorium,
corner of Eddy and Jones streets, appeared
in Judge Lows court yesterday and swore
out warrants for the arrest of George Osgood
on the charges of forgery and embezzle-
ment.
Osgood was employed by Manager Moore
as an agent to solicit advertisements for
the drop curtain in the theater He claims
that Osgood had been forging orders for
advertisements and had collected commits
sion from him on these forged orders and
had also drawn money on them.
The particular case of forgery charged in
the complaint is in forging an order in the
name of Charles Mayer of the California
Clcck Company for an advertisement on
the drop curtain.

The Columbia Theater.

Haddon Chambers telling drama, Captain
Swift, is going well at the Columbia Theater
Frawley is at his best in this play, and his cool
effective acting forms pleasant contrast to
the aimless restlessness with which so many
leading men try to infnse spirit into their per-
formances. Miss Belle Archer as Lady Stan
ton is another performer whose repose is re-
freshing. She is refined and natural and entirely
free from that bounding self-assertion which
too often on the stage passes for the manners
that prevail in aristocratic circles.
Several other members of the company,
very well, and the whole performance is
stamped with refinement that is in keeping
with the pretty bon-ton character of the
theater,

The jury in the Worthington case remained
out all yesterday. They have been accommo-
dated at night at the Fairmount Hotel and are
regularly escorted to their meals.
Yesterday Judge Belcher stated that he con-
sidered in view of the length of time the trial
had taken, time for fullest consideration of
the verdict should be given the jury, and he
proposed, II necessary, to keep them locked up
for another night.
At late hour it was understood that the
chances OF an agreement was poor. The Jury
was said to stand six for acquittal and six for
penalties less than "murder in the first de-
gree"
