FRANCIS WON THE SPRINT
Two Well.Known Business Men
in a Foot Race at
Sausalito.
THE PRIZE WAS A DINNER.
H. w. Riley Acknowledged Defeat at
the Hands of Wells.Fargo's
Secretary.
THE PRIZE WAS A DINNER

The friends of 7. B. Francis, the athletic
secretary of Wells, Fargo & Co., are smack
ing their lips over the prospect OF swell
dinner which they expect to enjoy with
him shortly.
Mr.. Francis and Henry W. Riley, the
Davis-street commission man, are very
good friends, but they differ materially as
to their respective abilities as sprint ters,
and the bantering between the two led a
day or so ago to match race at 100 yards,
the loser to dine a dozen of the victor q
friends and the spread to cost not less
than $25.
No suitable place could DO found on this
side of the bay where the race could be
run without the matter becoming a mat
ter of public comment, so the entire party
took the boat to Sausalito, and the con-
test came off in the presence of an admir-
ing crowd. A level stretch of road north
OF the town was measured and fine place,
currently reported to be 100 yards long,
selected. Stripped as far as modesty would
permit the two men faced the starter, who
was a well-known business man.
John F. English acted as timer and
Charles NJ. Carroll of Carroll & Carroll as
stakeholder. 1t is not definitely known
whether Mr.. English held stop watch on
the race or not, but the general impression
is that if he did it must have been out of
order as he announced liz seconds as the
time when the iovial secretary broke the
tape couple of yards ahead of his oppo-
nent. As both are staid business men and
not in training for such severe strain as a
100-yards run in 11H seconds, it is believed
that 15 seconds must have been nearer the
correct time.
After having recovered his breath suf-
ficiently to speak Mr.. Riley announced
that while he had been beaten fairly he
was not at all convinced that Francis was
the better man and asked for a return race,
which was accorded without a minute s
hesitation.
1t is said that both gentlemen are train
ing covertly as much as business will per-
nit and warm race is expected the next
time they meet on the cinder path.

FISHING FOR THE SPARS.
Divers Getting the Blairmore's
Iron Yards Out of the
Bay.
Measuring the Hatchways-A Yard.
stick That Would Not Stay
Down Below.

The wreckers have succeeded in getting
much of the sunken Blairmore's gear free
from the hull, ana they are now fishing up
the spars- Three of the iron yaros have
been recovered after great expenditure of
labor. Often the heavy mass of metal can
not be hoisted to the surface even after
being cast clear of the wreck down in the
muddy deeps below. Then the diver must
again descend and feel in the darkness
among the tumble of rope and spars for
the cause.
After q patient search he may find q
chain which must be unshackled or a
portion OF the wire rigging which must be
cut.
/ Yesterday three divers were down on
the bottom of the bay at one time gropipg
around the sunken hulk like moles. One
was working in the rigging of the mizzen-
mast, another was clearing away the upper
maintopsail yard for hosting up into th e
air, and the third man was measuring the
hatchways. He came up for a weight to
fasten to his yardstick, as the little buoy-
ant piece of wood was inclined to get away
from him and float to the surface. With
a five-pOund bit of iron lashed to it he
dropped back into the bay. and the air
bubbles over him showed where he was at
work.
After the wreck is stripped the hatcnes,
ventilators, skylights, airports and the
many openings In the hull must be made
air and water tight. Hatch covers must
be fashioned to hit the coamings and sent
down and fastened in their places. The
difficulties of such labor are almost in
describabie, but the patient and indus
trious men now at work there will succeed
and the luckless craft be lifted from her
muddy grave.

A CUT-RATE sPOTTER.
L. f. MeIsing Charged With EmbezzIe-
ment and With Not Perform
ing His DUTY.

W. W. Smith, secretary of the San Fran
cisco and Oakland Passenger Association,
in the Mills building, swore to complaint
in Judge Low S court yesterday for the ar
rest of L. F. Melsing on the charge OF fell
ony embezzlement.
Smith said that on May S c. H. Duffey
went to V. P. White and through him Mel
sing was introduced 10 Smith. White rep
resented Melsing as very smart fellow
just the man to send to the cut-rate offices
to discover if cut-rate tickets were being
sold.
Smith gave Melsing 5000 on the under
standing that Melsing would make thor
ough investigation and furnish written
report on the result, but he did not do so.
Melsing was arrested by Detective Whit
taker and booked at the City Prison. He
is a clerk for Jake Rauer. He says he
made verbal report to Smith on the re-
suit of his Investigations AID considers he
is fairly entitled to the $500 for his SER
vices.

THEY RlDlCULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE IDEA
OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLES.
Ridfcule. However, is Not Argument
and Facts Arc stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy ella ming to be radical, permanent cure
for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be car
ried too far; 80 far, in fact, that many per-
oons suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk / tile time and money in
faithfully testing the claims of pEepara-
tion SO reliable and universally used as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets vastly
different in one important respect from ordi-
nary proprietary medicines, for the reason
that they are not a secret patent medicine;
no secret is made of Their ingredients. but
analysis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsn, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy
drastis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any organ,
but they cure indigestion on the common
sense plan Of digest;ng the food eaten
promptly, thoroughly before 1t has time to
ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This
is the only secret of their success
Carthartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles, be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not dgested half digested
is poison, as 1t creates gas, acidty, head
aches papitation of the heart, loss of flesh
and appetite and many other troubles which
are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere at
so cents per package. Address Stuart Co.,
