Speaking of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
he said: ~ did not use the remedy un-
til had been advised to do so, and then

saparilla is great remedy, and that it
clarifies the blood, leaving no bad effects

course, was not sick man, yet l felt
out of sorts and was beginning to lose
flesh. Yes, do recommend joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla.
may as well tell you that Ventura is
all praise for joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, and that the druggists are not
palming off something just as good for
the native remedy. When people ask
for Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla they
get joys, and that is just what the
druggists of San Francisco ought to do.
They ought to hand out the native
remedy when people ask for it. Ger
tainly what every one says is good must

VENTURA, CAL, March l.

I send you the portrait of Mr.. Francisco
Garcia. 1t was taken during the past
week. By it you will observe the pink OF
good health in the coloring OF the cheeks,
the brightness of the eyes and robust
ness of the individual. True, you can
not see, as / have seen, one OF the best
specimens of manhood. Mr.. Garcia is
one of tie finest looking men within
days walk OF Ventura. He is able to
hold his own with all the young men of
this place. When I was introduced to
him l remarked his strength and he
told me that it was only while ago
when he was out of sorts, all run down,
no appetite and troubled with sleepless-
ness. He was advised to and did use
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. He told
me exactly what hundreds have before
said. He soon began to sleep at night,
his bowels became regular, his appetite
returned, and he was enabled to do q
good days work, eat a fair share of food
and sleep his allotted hours. Now he
weighs 1870 pounds, and in all his move
ments shows the perfectly healthy man.

munications to the Congressman and Sem
ators at Washington, warning them of the
schemes of Huntington to compass the
passage of the funding bill.
His anger was occasioned not so much
by the stoppage of the letters as from the
fact that he had not been notified by the
Postmaster of the seizure. He considered
that the holding of the letters had caused
the loss of valuable time in the fight
against the funding bill, and that he
should have been told that the depart
ment considered the envelopes objection
able, so that he might have devised other
means of placing them in the hands of the
members of Congress.
The inscription on the envelope to which
the postal authorities object is, in the
opinion of the Mayor, nothing but the ex-

If we cannot Use the mails we shall re-
sort to the express company. we can
send thousands of circulars through that
channel and our friends in Washington can
distribute them just as easily ana expe-
dltlously as the letter carriers.
These objections from certain mem
bers of Congress convince me more than
ever that we have Huntington on down
grade. He naturally objects to being
shown up as robber and is resortlng to
all sorts of tricks to keep us from reaching
the ears of the Congressmen and Senators.

pears strange that he should have treated

THE TA|LORS ORGANIZING
Successful Meeting at Which
Several Foremen Enter
the Union.
All Assistants, Male and Female. Will
Be Asked to Join for Mutual
Benefit.

The San Francisco Tailors' Union held
very successful meeting Tuesday night in
Academy Hall, on Mission street, near
Fifth, and made another bold and united
effort to form q powerful trade organiza-
ton, which shall include every member of
their craft in town.
There was no secrecy about the meeting,
as the tailors we're quite willing to have it
known what they were doing. Samuel
Schwartz was chairman and Herman
Stark secretary. Quite large number of
prominent tallors were admitted to men,
bership, and there was special reason for
enthusiasm over the event. since nearly
all of them are foremen of large shops.
The reception, therefore, was a pleasant
event in the history of this youngest of
trade unions in San Francisco. The ad-
ditions Tuesday night increased the men,
bership to 225.
The question of further organization
was discussed by the members at great
length, and it was finally determined to
begin at once to actively organize the help
in all shops, female as well as male, to
strengthen the union.
The chairman announced that charter
would be received at the next meeting
from the United Garment workers Of
America, the headquarters of which are in
New York City, and that the local union
will become q part of the great united body
of tailors of America. The significance Of
this coalition was unoficially stated to be
that the working tailors have come to q
realization of the fact that they have been
so ground down by competition that barely
q living can be got out of the trade now
adays. even though the tailors work day
and night; and they are consequently Or
ganizing for self-protection.
Each individual member of the union
was appointed committee of one to secure
new members, and was requested by the
chair to introduce each an applicant fer
mem bership at the next meeting, Tuesday
night.
meeting within month was carefully con-
sidered and unanimously carried.
T. f. Burns of the Cigar-makers' Union,
by request, addressed the meeting. He
said that the activity and success achieved
by the tailors in organizing had far sur
labor union men who had watched them
closely. With proper organization, he re-
marked, the tailors could get such con-
cessiors from EN- mployers as the strength of
their organization would justify. The
trades unions of the United States were
about to enjoy a new era of prosperity
greater in fact than ever beforehand this
enthusiasm of the tailors was only q case
in point illustrative OF the spirit animating
labor.

SPLITTING BANK NOTES.


Dollar Hiiis.
Many devices have been rcsortcd to
by countorfoltors to raise genuine bank
notes as well ~ to manufacture bogus
ones. but one OF the most novel has
come to light within the last few days
at the United States subtroasurer's of
fee In this city. says the Philadelphia
Record. II is not known whether the
plan was ever tried before. nor how
successful II was In this case. as II Is
not known whether anybody was caught
by H. The scheme consisted OF splitting
a 81 and 81 note and then FASTING the
back OF the 81 note to the front OF the
~ note and the front OF the 81 motto to
the back OF the s. note. The mechnn-
teal part Of the work was excellently
done. but the fraud could be detected
the moment the note was turned over.
An effort had been made to change
the "one" to "nvo" on the "ono" side OF
the new combined note. but II was done
10 clumsily that the fraud would have
been seen at n glance. and the only
nope OF passing the notes as fiycs would
have been to pass them over with the
~ side mp and trust to the man re-
ceiving II not TO turn II over before
putting It away The doctored notes
came to the subtreasury through one OF
the banks, with the request that they
be allowed whatever they were worth.
The government always redeems notes
ut the face value. and as the faces In
this case were OF 81 and n So note 81
was allowed. II Ia not known whether
the bank was caught on the split notes
or not.
A cleyerly executed counterfeit So ma
tional-bank note was also detected at
the subtreasury the other day. II was
on tho First National bank OF Tamnqua
and was burned In several places to
give II an old appearance and then
pasted on piece OF paper as II TO hold
II together. The fraud was first de-
tected by turning over one OF the cor
nera and detecting a mlsspeled word
on the back.
