Upon Two Notable Successes-Pub.
lie Warned Against limitations.

There has of late been kind of moral wave
showing its influence among our male popula-
ton: Many men have realized that they were
smoking and tobacco-spitting their lives away.
and they have preferred condition of manly
vigor and robust health. Skinny men have
quit smoking vile cigars; dried-up nicotine
soaks have fired their pipes; hardened old
chaws have spit out their guilds, and paIlid
cigarette-suckers have thrown away the deadly
cothn tack. You can tell them by the new
brightness in their eyes, the new elasticity in
their step, the fine color in their faces and the
visible increase in their weight, not to speak OF
new cheerfulness of disposition which tells
that they are enjoying the good things of life
and II you ask one OF them what did it, he
always says: "It is No-To-Bac, and l got it at
Joys Baldwin Pharmacy, corner of Powell and
Market streets"
An essential in every community is the reli-
able drugstore, where nothing is sold that is
not youched for; where no fatal mistakes are
made. Such q one is the well-known estab-
llshment mentioned abcve-a thoroughly reH-
able drugstore. The best prescription in. the
world is not OF benefit unless properly COM
pounded. Every day we read in the paper
warning against buying from those who sub
stltute fakes and limitations for standard
preparations because it pays larger profit

Pharmacy, the manager was asked about the
remarkable boom in the sale of No-To-Bac.
My boy" he said to the reporter, g the sue
cess OF preparation lies in what it does, not
what it's advertised to do. Merit counts,
nothing else. You can advertise from now till
doomsday and If the article does not possess
merit it will not achieve success. That is why
No-To-Bac with comparatively little advertis-
ing has had so remarkable sale. 1t cures the
toDacco-ha bit and restores the vital functions.
One man tries it and his success causes others
to likewise Just to show you how much
faith can be placed in No-To- BAGS merit, I
need only mention that the makers, the Ster-

York, authorize us and every other druggist
to sell their preparations under absolute guar
antee to cure, or refund the purchase money.

City, We respectfully submit that the produce
from all sections should be accorded equal
privileges on the wafer front, and that these
products should, Tor that purpose, be conceu-
trated at the most convenient and available
point.
1t appears to US that in the assignment of
waterfront privileges the first thing TO be con-
sidered is the convenience of the passenger
service. Immediately following that is the
convenient and economical delivery to con-
sumers OF those perishable food products
which are delivered to the City each day, of
which family supplies are purchased day by
day.
ii this De true, public convenience would be
best served by the establishment of the free
market Immediately to the north OF Jackson
street, extending so far in that direction as
may be necessary for the handling and sale OF
the flowers. fruit, vegetables, poultry and fish
required for the City.
We understand, however, that your honor
able body does not at present see It's way clear
TO assigning to this purpose such space at this
point as would be necessary, but propose to as
sign section or pier 27. The latter, we are
advised by river men, can never be used for
this purpose by reason OF its exposed position.
Section could doubtless be made available
for that purpose by additional pier construc-
ton.
We do not believe that market on section
would ever attract customers Wno could be
served at substantially the same prices on
Jackson-Street wharf or at the location OF the
present commission houses on the streets de-
voted to that trade. Customers would go to
section only when they could not be served
elsewhere III ell the produce could be con-
centrated at Section of course customers
would go there, as they must have the goods
If a majority can be delivered there it would
in time attract the rest.
AS stated in the resolutions of the conven-
ton which referred the subject 10 us, we regard
1t as essential to the success OF the market that
it shall be the common terminal OF all tr
portation lines. We have wish to establish
q small opposition market, and especially in q
locality less convenient than others enjoy. I'm
less we can look ultimately to general con-
centration of the produce we do not think the
matter worth pursuing.
AT the same time we are at present of the
opinion that it will be we'll to make begin
ming on section 4, providing that arrange
ments can be made for delivery there of
ma ajority of the perishable products not sold
in carload lots, with the understanding that
ways shall be constantly studied by which all

haps her declarations may be reconclled.
When confronted with Flynn, the prls.
oner charged with murder, IN the office OF
Captain Lees, she opened wide her black
eyes and stared the man full in the face
saying:
IL never saw him before"
In view Of the fact that Flynn himself
declares that Mrs. Shane is fabricating on
this score; that Mrs. Browning and her
little daughter also know that Flynn and
Thomas j. Clyne of the New England Life
Insurance Company was present when Mr..
Flvnn was presented to Mrs. Shane by
Mrs. Browning in the latter's rooms, some
time before the present scandal cropped
up, Mrs. Shane's disclaimer of the ac-
quaintanceship of Mr.. Flynn is regarded
as very strange by the police. who are in
vestigating it.
Mr.. Clyne was seen at his Office at the
Mills building yesterday regarding mis-
connection with the Brownings.

Shane for some time, probably year or
more. From the judgment had form ed
they were quite proper people, and the re-
cent disclosures in the newspapers have
astonished me much.

on the very sharp lookout they kept on

acquaintance l made at the skating ri nk

lady, and as often as I could we would
either go to one place of amusement or
another.
II cannot exactly settle the date when,
in my presence and that of her daughter,
Mrs. Browning introduced Flynn to Mrs
Shane. 1t was some weeks, however. be-
fore this affair occurred, and the two were
well acquainted when they met again a
few days ago in Captain Lees office.
"There is one thing l remember,
though, and that is, Mrs. Shane may not
have known Flynn by that name, as Mrs.
Browning, to our utter amazement, intro
duced him as Mr.. Jones. But his facial
expression and general appearance must
have made her remember him, whether as
Jones or Flynn.
when Tessie and l heard Flynn intro
duced as Jones we looked at each other,

we commented upon it without being able
to solve its reason"

goods of that class shall be brought to that
market.
We therefore accept the proposal to devote
section to the free market, provided that we
shall become satisfied that majority of the
produce not sold in carload lots win be de-
livered from car or steamer to such market
without drayage. In the prosecu ton of such
further inquiries Messrs. B. F. Walton, W. L..
Oberheiser and !. H. Bergier are authorized to
represent this exchange.
By order of the board of directors.
San Francisco, Cal, April %, 1896.
The reading of the report was followed
by much discussion.
Mr.. Walton said he had heard one of
the transportation magnates say that
rather than allow his vessels to lie beside
LON bard street wharf he would see them
sink.
To this the Chief Wharfnger replied
that wheat was unloaded at pier 81 with
out difficulty. The pier, being unpro-
tected, was of course more or less exposed
to the force of the various currents, but he
thought in the event of another pier being
erected north of it it would be easy to
land cargoes there in all weathers. At the
same time, even under present conditions,
he said landings were easily effected at
Lombard street at all times. He consid-
cred that the difficulty in landing ship
ments had been undnly magnitied.
Mr.. Colnon seemed in favor of Lombard
street wharf.

Company will deliver its freight there

served Mr.. Smurr. we must have better
facilities accorded u.s. The free market
will be one among scores of consignees,
and it will make much extra work for US
if we are to be obliged to segregate our
cargoes and ship part of them by water
to Lombard street."
THE people of the San Joaquin Valley, +"
said Mr.. Oberheiser, 'arc most anxious
for the success OF this market. We have
two opposition boat lines, and one of them
will surely transport our products whith er
we desire. If the railway com pany cannot
or will not accord us its aid, we must do
the best we can without it. All we have
to do is to get to work, and we will suc-
ceed in shaping matters in accord with
our purposes"
Others spoke in similar strain. The
difficulties in the way of the undertaking
were fully recognized and the necessity of
concerted and harmonious endeavor
dwelt upon. Itappeared to be the general
Id ca that the best course would be to make
a trial OF Lombard-street wharf as a loca-
tlon for the market and see how the thing
would work. Meanwhile the offer of the
Harbor Commissioners remains in abey-
ance until next Thursday
President Colnon, when spoken to on
the matter, abstained from detailed COM
ment on the affair, but could not refrain
from remarking:
We'll, well, these free market people
DON'T seem to be very backward in asking
tavors. However, our offer remains open
LOT while, and perhaps they may see in
time that II is well worth their acceptance. !"

SUNSET CLUB JOINS IN.
The Question of Reduced Car
Fares Fully Discussed by
Its Champions.
The Federation of Clubs to Be Held in
B'nai Birth Hall in the
Near Future.

A special meeting of the members of the
southern quarter, Ninth avenue and II
street, assembled last night to discuss the
21%-cent fare, as also to send delegates to
represent the club at the proposed Fedora
ton of Clubs.
Richard Keller, president of the Sunset
Improvement Club, invited George R.
Fletcher. president of the Point Lobos I'm
provement Club, to give his views on the
reduction of car fares. Mr.. Fletcher said:
~ am not fighting the railroad because
it is a corporation, but / am fighting for
what consider the peoples rights against
corporation that carries things pretty
much its own way"
John Conklin was not sure how the pro.
posed reduction would work in view of the
implicated system of transfers.
Charles Cushman was in favor of Mr.
Fletcher's proposed reduction, but was
not quite clear on the transfer system,
William Jones was of a similar opinion.
Herman Morris wanted things left
alone. He was satisfied as it was at
present.
T. F. Taylor suggested leaving the whoIa
subject to the Federation of Clubs about
to meet.
j. ]. Walsh, who was at one time an
employe of the railroad company, favored
high fares, high wages, high taxes and
everything high.
On motion of William QuigIey, the
president was instructed to send five dele
gates to the meeting of the Federation of
Clubs.
A vote of thanks was rendered to Mr..
Fletcher for his attendance and the intelli-
gent manner in which he had explained
his reasons for advocating reduction in
carfares.
