There q q least one happy man in San
Francisco to-day one man who can enjoy,
despite the fact Of his being sixty years Of
age and Of corpulent build, the full and free
use Of all the powers Of mind and body.
James Keenan, is prominent liquor
dealer at 258 Brannan Street, and it is he
who Is now lauding those who have restored
him from q bed Of pain to his former youth
full activity. Mr.. Keenan, had, to within a
year ago, been blessed with the enjoyment
Of almost perfect health. He had never
known what it was to be confined for weeks
at . time upon couch Of painful disease,
nor even to lose the vigorous action Of mind
or limb which had enabled him, through the
many years Of his business life, to perform
his daily tasks unaided and unadyised.
Il was q year ago that Mr.. Keenan, first
suffered the hand Of disease to take hold
upon him. At that time he was stricken
down by an aggravated attack Of rheuma-
ism, which robbed him of the use Of his
lower limbs and Of both his hands. For
fully six weeks he lay on his couch, q help
less victim Of the dread disease, and all the
time he suffered intense pain in the affected
portions Of his body. He could not move
himself upon his bed, and all that he ate
had to be fed to him by those in attendance.
He had about despaired Of ever gaining re-
1ease from the clutches of the fr;gbtfn1 die.

THE TURKISH kAlK.

It More Closely Resembles the Gondola
Than Any Other Craft.
Crawford, the author, to whose skill
full pen Constantinople is indebted for
one OF the most charming volumes ever
issued in it's praise, has word to say
about the Turkish boatmen and thei1
vehicle, the kaik.
"Comstantinople owes much,'' writes
he, TO the matchless beauty of the
three waters which run together be-
meath its walls, and much of their repu
tation again has become worldwide
by the kaik. It is disputed and dis
putable whether the Turks copied the
Venetian gondola or whether the Vene-
tians initiated the Turkish kaik, but
the resemblance between them is so
strong as to make it certain that they
have a common origin. Take from the
dongola the 'felse', or hood, and the
rostrated stem, and the remainder is
practically the kaik. tits of all craft of
its size the swiftest, the most easy to
handle and the most comfortable, and
the Turks generally are admitted to be
the best oarsmen in Europe.
Indeed, they have need to be, for
both the Bosphorouss and the Golden
Horn are crowded with craft of every
kind, and made dangerous by the
swiftest of currents. The distances,
too, are very great. and such as no or
binary oarsman would undertake for
pleasure or for the sake of exercise.
it is no joke to pull Is or 16 miles
against q stream which in some places
runs four or five knots an hour

The Greater New York.

One of the truly historical events OF
the past month has been the signing of
the so-called Greater New York bill''
by Governor Morton. This act unites
the municipalities Of New York City and
Brooklyn, and adds to them Long Island
City, place Of approximately $4,000
people, and Staten Island, which lies in
New York harbor. The aggregate popu-
lation now exceeds 5000 600, and there is
ample. room for several millions more in
unoccupied areas on Staten Island and
Long Island and north OF the Harlem
River. Brooklyn, with its population of
approximately 200, 600 souls, has never
had any self-centered existence. It has
been merely great residential district
OF the metropolis. The highest ends OF
municipal progress will doubtless be
served by the consolidation. Much OF
the opposition expressed against
the bill signed by Governor Morton was
due not to q disapproyal OF the project
of q Greater New York, but TO the par
tieuiar method. For some time to come
the union viii exist only in name. a
commission must now be designated to
devise charter and recommend q practl-
cal scheme for making the union q work
ing affair. Many believers in consolida.
ton would greatly have preferred that
. charter should be first drawn up and
then submitted to the people Of the
Greater New York for ratification, the
adoption Of the charter carrying with il
the approval OF consolidation. From

The Farms of Denmark.
Out Of 226, goo farms in Denmark only
1900 are over $50 acres in extent and
most of them are worked by their own

edge of their business and the gradual
change from growing grain to breeding
cattle and dairy farming the Danish
farmers have suffered less from trans
atlantic competition than those of any
other European country.

NO INHERITANCE TAX.

Chicago, Nov. FL Judge Carter, OF

inheritance tax law passed by the last
Illinois legislature is unconstitutional.
THE decision was rendered in the es-

which the county attorney began pro
ceedings several months ago in the
county court to collect the tax. The
object of the proceedings was to test
the validity of the law Judge Carter
held that the law was unconstitutional
because it makes a classification OF IN
heritance which is not uniform. III

freshmen which were considered more
desirable. The trouble has been i'm

a football player and an athlete, took
a hand in the game in the interest of
the freshmen. Advancing to the first
line of his colrs he annunoced his in
tention of throwing out the whole of
the class one after the other unless the
seats were Immediately vacated. He
was greeted with derision and the
trouble began. No one was seriously
injured, but when it was over bloody
noses and rapidly putting eyelids were
everywhere to be seen. The faculty
settled the trouble.

p. Plunkett, NJ. p, for South
Dublin, who has just arrived in
this city from England, is on his
way to the Rocky mountains and
is stopping at the Waldorf
House. Speaking last night of
his connection with the famous
"Recess committee" he said:
Until quite recently the out
look seemed hopeless. l had
busted myself in industrial ques-
tons and especially the better
ment of the agricultural condi-
ton of the country in 1892. |
went into parliament mainly with
the object of interesting other
politicians in these matters. In
1895 the home rule question be-
came temporarily quiescent and
| found that an opportunity had
come to take the new departure
in Irish affairs, so | invited all
men of all parties to join me in
forming the committee which is
called the recess committee, be-
cause it met after the 1895 cleo.
tions during the long recess. The
committee disposed of many
questions relating to the well
being of the country upon which
all parties We're united. The COM
mittee has published a report
making recommendations to the
government for the creation of
an entirely new department of
agriculture and industries with
a minister, responsible to parlia-
ment. as its head and with pop
ular representation; their whole
plan being based upon the expe-
rience of European countries,
which had raised the situation.
The government will be urged to
give legislative effect to these
recommendations"
Mr.. Plunkett, who is a gadu-
ate of Oxford, came to this coun.
try in 1879 and spent ten years
on a western ranch. He has con-
siderable land in Nebraska and
comes to the United States about
once year to look after his in
terests here. He said his present
visit here was purely personal
one in connection with his bust
ness interests, and had nothing
whatever to do with his work on
the recess committee. He eX-
poets to remain in the United
States about a month. He will
leave New York next Monday on
a trip to the west and will proba-
bly, go as far as the Rocky noun
tains.

pected to meet some of the rep.
resentative Instantaneous here,
