FIFTH STREETS, SACRAMENTO.
TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.
Suicide of Despondent Carpenter at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-Alfred
G.. Andrew, a despondent carpenter,
ended his existence this morning by
taking a dose of carbolic acid. De-
ceased had had hard luck for many
months, and when he went to work
three months fell and broke his leg.
The idleness told on the family, and
they had to take a cheap, poorly fur
nished fiat in the rear of 1910 Larkin
street. For the past few days the de-
ceased had been able to go out, and on
one of these outings bought the car
bolic acid. This morning attention
was directed to his room by shrieks Of
pain, and when Mrs. Andrew ran to the
room she found her husband uncon-
scious, with the vial from which
he had taken the deadly draught be-
side him. DR.. Mahoney was called in,
but Andrew was too far gone and died
without gaining conciousness. He was
40 years of age and leaves a widow and
three children.

WRECK OF THE ARAGO.
The III-iated Steamship Rapidly Go
ing to Pieces.

EMPIRE CITY (Or.), Oct 21.-There
is no hope of saving anything of the
Oregon Coal and Navigation Com
pany's steamship Arago, which was
wrecked on Coos Bay bar yesterday.
The sea continues very rough, and the
ill-fated vessel is rapidly going to
pieces.
Attempts to recover the bodies OF
those who went down with the ship
have thus far been futile, and those
who are familiar with the scene of the
disaster declare that the bodies will
find their last resting-place in the
sand.
The surviving crew are here waiting
for the steamship Homer to take them
to San Francisco, but the bar remains
so rough that it will probably be some
time before the Homer will be able to
cross out in safety.
MARSHFIELD (Or), Oct 2l.-Two
masts projecting a few feet above the
swell at high tide mark the spot where
the steamship Arago lies beneath in

DISTRESS IN SPAIN.
The Country Will Have to Import
Large Amounts of BreadstuffS.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The Daily STAN
dard" will tomorrow print a dispatch
from it's Madrid correspondent saying
that the Queen Regent presided at the
meeting of the council of Ministers held
to-day. Senior Canovas del Castillo. the
Prime Minister presented a summary
of the events which have occurred in
Spain and the colonies within the past
three months, and forecast for the
near future
The outlook, he said, showed that
great distress existed among the people
of the southern parts of the kingdom
The withdrawal of 10000 men from the
plows and mills within the past twenty
months, he said, was severely felt, and
Spain would in consequence be obliged
to import large amounts of breadstuffs-
The prosecution of the war against the
insurgents in Cuba and the trobules in
the Philippine Islands had markedly
diminished the exports of manufactured
and agricultural products to the West
Indies and the Philippine Islands, caus-
ing great distress and discomfort.
Everybody" the Premier said, re
cognizes the fact that the drain cannot
long continue at the present pace.
Patriotism and national pride alone can
check the criticisms of the Government s
course"
The gloomiest future feature of the
situation, the Prime Minister declared, is
the difficulty which the Government
finds in obtaining one billion piestas with
which to pay the expenses in Cuba and
the Philippine Islands.

$106, 131.2S. The profits to the State
itself were S133, ,467. Il on sales to the

outstanding profit for the State for the
period under review of $25, 571. .S5, max
ing a total profit to the State for eleven
months of $159, ,939.62. The profits of
the towns and counties on retail sales
were almost exactly 10 per cent, while
the States profits on whole dealings
were about 10 per cent. The total
profits to the State since the dispensary
system went into operation July 1st,

HEART BEATS TO BE SEEN.
Important Scientific Discovery in the RO-
entgen Process.

Edward p Thompson, of New York,
a consulting electrical engineer, who
has been experimenting with Professor
Roentgen's discovery, said to-day that
he had discovered a process whereby
motion, otherwise invisible, might be
observed with the use of the new Y
rays. The movements of watch can
be observed through the case, and the
operation of the interior organs of a
living human being or animal be made
visible
The value of such a discovery to the
science of surgery and medicine may
be imagined from the claim of the in
ventor, when it is said that with it the
action of the heart and the digestion of
food can be observed
THE DIsCOvERER's EXPLANATION.
'In the process as carried out by
Roentgen, the effect of the cathode
rays after passing through Opaque OBJ
jects must be developed by photo
graphy, and therefore a great deal of
time is occupied by the exposure and
the obtaining of the picture, said Mr.
Thompson.
''By my process it is intended that
objects ordinarily invisible may be ex-
amined instantly, and especially that
motion may be represented to the eye.
again, with powerful rays it ought
to be possible with this process to see
the action of muscles and joints when
ones finger is bent; or to be able to
distinguish a sprain from a break by
moving the arm back and forth, or to
see the circulation of the blood, the
beating of the heart and the motion of
sap in trees and plants and of all other
objects which at present cannot be OBJ
served.
photography is not used in any
connection with these experiments,
and the figures which you observe are
made by throwing shadows of the in
visible moving particles by the X-rays
upon platinocyanide in the end of a
dark tube"
EDISON CONTINUES HIS EXPERIMENTS.
Although Mr.. Thomas A. Edison is
not yet ready to take photograph of
a human brain by means of his newly
discovered vacuum tubes, nevertheless
he has continued to pursue his expert
ments with the new force in many di-
rections at his laboratory
Mr. Edison has discovered that alu-
minium electrodes, after being in use q
short time, become hardened, or tenn
pered, so that, while at first they are
so soft that they can easily be bent,
after few hours, use they become SO
hard that it is impossible to bend them
even with the use of great force. The
discovery may mean that aluminium is
not simple, but a chemical com
pound.
Mr.. Edison has discovered that a tube
of low vacuum after being used for some
time got high vacuum, and the process
being continued all the residual all
disappeared. This, he thinks, was
caused by decomposition of the mole
cules in the air, and that oxygen unit
ing with the aluminium electrodes,
caused hydrogen to be projected
through the interstitial molecular
spaces of the glass.

Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptics often waste away
as badly as cOnsumptives.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or they
don't digest what they do eat.
IT the latter is your trouble, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help yOu to
digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, barks and juices of fruit, by the we'll
known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It pos
sesses great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many
supposed cOnsumptives (who were really
dyspeptics), by simply helping their stOm-
achs to digest their food. thus giving them
nourishment and new strength.

finally adjudicated. When the costs
were all paid, including the allowances
to the attorneys, the extravagant sum
of fOrty-twO cents remained to be dis
tributed among the successful liti-
giants, but as the suit had lasted longer
than they-for they had all died, the
court ordered the amount to be paid
into the county treasury.
