Rev. A. L. Mendenhall says:
Mrs. Joe Person.
Madam:-It gives me great
pleasure to testify to the
merits of your wonderful
remedy. When I decided to
give your remedy a trial,
my leg was badly liberated
from the effects of the fever.
1t had bafied the skill of
many eminent physicians
was very much swollen, and
had two running sores, with
holes to the bone. I could
wear no other than low
auartered shoes, and suf-
fered very acute pain. This
was in 1894 at Toisnot, Will
son county, N. c., aud soon
after taking the Remedy
my leg was entirely cured
and has remained perfectly
we'll ever since.
Very respectfully,

Not a Living in 81 rs a Day
When They Have to Bear
Expenses.
TWENTY-FIVE MEN AFFECTED
Have Readily Secured the Indorse.
ment of the Company's Best.
Paying Customers.

The drivers for the Pacific Carriage Com
pany went out on strike last night at
o'clock because of reduction of wages
from 81 so to 81 25 day.
They had expected the cut would be de-
clared and were ready with a petition
which they submitted to the company s
best customers, who readily agreed to
stand by them and not patronlze the COM
pany's coupes or carriages while the re-
duction should be maintained. Three of
the largest undertaking firms, which in
themselves are the nlainstay of the car
riage company's business, have given
their support to the striking drivers, and
several of the largest cafes and restaurants
are already pledged to aid the strikers
cause.
Twenty-Five men, including ten extras,
are affected by the strike. Only two regu-
lar drivers have remained for duty.
The drivers say it was hard enough to
make a living on 81 so when they were
compelled to pay for all breakages make
good bad bills and furnish their own
liveries. On 81 25 they declare they can
not do this and make living.
One of them, speaking of the matter last
night, said that the drivers are expected
to supply themselves with Qriving-coat,
silk hat and kid gloves and present neat
appearance. In addition to this expense
item to be found out of their meager
wages they must make good the fares left
unpaid by unscrupulous customers who
often leave the carriage waiting in front of
saloon while they retreat by the rear
way.
A majority of the strikers are said to be
men with families.
Early in the evening a number of men
in sympathy with the striking drivers
gathered about the three carriages at the
ferry and hooted at their drivers, calling
them scabs, but the striking drivers de-
clared that they took no part in the
demonstration. Some of the enthusiasts
even went so far as to attempt to overturn
the carriage driven by man whose per-
sonality made him particularly distasteful
to those who stood out for restored wages.
The police, however, interfered and pre-
vented further disturbance.
Oliver Hinkley, superintendent of the
Pacific Carriage Company, made no pro-
vision last night for new drivers, nor had
he said anything about an sreement with
the strikers,

The audience that saw "Miss Jerry" st
Metropolitan Hall last evening enjoyed a
most exquisite treat. It. was a novel enter
tainment consisting of series of rapidly
changing pictures thrown upon darkened
screen, and the story they tell, given by
Miss Carrie Louise Ray, pretty young
lady with sweetly modulated voice.
The lady of the pictorial features of the
play is Miss Geraldine Holbrook, a re-
porter, and her interviews are the theme
of the story. As the scenes dissolve into
each other before the audience Miss Ray
speaks all of the characters, producing an
effect both realistic and pleasing.
Between the acts Miss Don M. Cam
sang several songs in one of the sweetest
contralto voices ever heard in San Fran

clear and her manner simple and charm
ing. The entertainment is under the
management of Frank F. Miller.

The face is a true index to the state OF the
health and persons looks will always show
when anything serious is the matter. For in
stance, the signs of rundown system are
plainly indicated by wrinkled brows, pale or
sallow complexion, dullness of the eyes, bad
breath, dark circles under the eyes, twitehing
of the muscles and tired, miserable express

There are thousands of men and women who
bear these signs of ill-health in their faces. We
meet them in the streets, in the cars, at church
and elsewhere. All of them show the imprint
of sickness, unhappiness and misery. Ask
them if anything ails them, AMI in most cases

But is there no way for such people to change

MRS. WILLIAMS PISTOL.
The Effect 1t Produced on the
Federal Inspector of
Chinese
He Disobeyed an Order of Court That
He Should Not Even Speak to
HIS Wife.

A revolver in the hands Of Q woman
with determined look upon her face
frightened Richard S. Williams. inspector
of Chinese for the customs department,
yesterday morning.
Some time ago Mrs. Williams COM
menced an action against Williams for
divorce on the ground of cruelty, and
upon the representations Judge Seawell
made an order that, while the suit was
pending, Williams should not interfere
with or molest his wife, nor even speak to
her.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Williams, in
company with the Misses Runge, was in
a store at Powell and Greenwich streets,
when Williams approached and expressed
desire tn talk to his wife.
~ told him." said Mrs. Williams, "that
l did not want to talk to him or have any,
thing whatever to do with him, because he
was armed. He said that he knew he was.
but that he did not want to harm me-
One of the young ladies with me thought
that it might be the easiest way out of the
matter to hear what he had to say, so I
asked him what he wanted. With that
lie caught hold of my wrist, when Miss
Hattie Runge went for an officer and re-
turned with one. Williams then released
me, and the officer suggested that in COM
pany with my friends I get on car that
was approaching
1--WE did so, and as the car started Will
liams ran after and boarded it. So did the
officer, who rode along distance of three
blocks, when he left and Williams ap-
preached me again and caught hold of me.
When the car reached Sacramento street
he pulled me off the car, but at that mo-
ment gentleman came up and made him
release me, after which he went away. |

BANKS AS CREDITORS.
Court Of Appeals Gives Them the
Preference Over Common
Depositors.
By the Decision Rendered 1t Is Safi
for One Bank to Loan Money
to Another.

The United States Court of Appeals,
Judges Hawley, Gilbert and Ross on the
bench, handed down an important deci-
sion yesterday affecting the liability of one
bank to another in the event of failure.
The title of the suit as it appeared in the
appellate court was George B. Blanchard,
Whatcom (Wash.), VS.. the Commercial
Bank of Tacoma" BY the decision Just
rendered banks are made preferred cred
itors.
Some months ago the First National
Bank of Whatcom was placed in the hands
of receiver, George B. Blanchard being
named for that position. -Four months S
prior to this act the Whatcom bank bor
rowed $40, 900 from the Commercial Bank
of Tacoma, agreeing to return the same
within twelve months, with 10 per cent
aided.
The crash came, however, before that
time and the Tacoma people found them
selves simply one of many creditors.
Later, on the advice of counsel, they in
stituted suit against the receiver of the
defunct institution to recover the amount
loaned. The case was tried in the United
States District Court and Judgment rem
dered in favor of the plaintiffs. Receiver
Blanchard appealed the case on the
ground that it made preferred creditors
OF the successful litigants. The Court of
Appeals reviewed the deliberations of the
District Court, returning the decision
already mentioned.
The importance of the decision is found
in the fact that heretofore q bank loaning
money to sister institution has in the
event of the failure of the borrower been
compelled to take its chances with COM
