able and Made for Political
Capital.

The City bankers do not seem to COM
prehend very clearly the purpose of Gov
ernor Budd in requesting, through the
Board of Bank Commissioners, statements
from all the banks in the State to be filed
on the first Monday in March.
AT a meeting yesterday morning of the
San Francisco Clearing house Association
the matter was informally discussed by
the bankers in attendance. There were
not any objections expressed to a compli-
ance with the request of the Governor,
although nobody could see the necessity
for any statements from the local banks.
Action, however. was deferred until next
week, when the association will meet
again and further consider the business.

The guards search, however, was fu-

from the search. You see, the placs had
changed somewhat, graves had been dug
and walls built, and he could make moth

From that day to this have heard so
little of the affair that / had almost for

IF the money is buried there l do not
think it is in the direction of Mike

Mo, sir; think that tale canard. If
these two men knew the money was there

FOR WOMEN PRISONERS,
A Large Wooden Cell to Be

Result of a Visit to the City Prison
by Supervisors Taylor and

A visit was made TO the City Prison yes
terday morning by Supervisors Taylor and
Dimond and Auditor Broderick. They
were accompanied by Chief Crowley and
received by Captain Robinson.
The object of the visit was to inspect the
cell, familiarly known as the "bird cage"
occuDied by women. Attention has been
frequently drawn to the lack of proper ac-
commodation for female prisoners and the
filthy condition of the cell where they are
all huddled together, "drunks," thieves,
vagrants and fallen women. Sometimes
women arrested for grand larceny are
placed by themselves in what is known as
the half cell and sometimes they are
placed in charge of the matron.
The visitors thoroughly inspected the
cell, which they found in the usual filthy
condition, mainly caused by defective
plum bing, which they acknowledged wa,
not confined to that particular cell, but
was manifest all over the building.

FATAL GRIP ON THE HEART.
Nearly 10000 Bottles of the Stuff

Last Year.

Hundreds of cyclists have become kola
'fends' during the past year and more are
taking to it every day." was the startling
statement made by druggist yesterday
while speaking of the properties of the
drug and of the surprising increase Units
use among the devotees of the wheel.
"The koIa pills used by those who have
become addicted to its use are manufac-
tured in this country from the seeds OF
the kola plant that are imported from Bra
zil and the West Indies.
THE kola seeds originally came from
tropical Africa, but when their medicinal
properties became known they were
planted in the tropical countries OF
America. They are about the size of a
chestnut, brown and in their natural state
rather bitter. The main property of the
kola nut is the remarkable manner in
which it wards off fatigue in those who
use it.
Taken in doses suited TO the physical
conditions of the devotee it renders him
at first almost impervious to fatigue. and
the action on the stomach is such that. he
has little or no craving for food, even
though be has been many hours without

two or three times as much caffein as
coffee.
These very properties make it.dangerous
to use unless the person who takes it is
thoroughly acquainted with its strength
and his own physical characteristics.
"The first effect is almost in perceptible,
but within twelve hours the action of the
heart is greatly stimulated and the user
feels much the same as after indulging in
Intoxicating liquors. This condition lasts
for several hours, sometimes for nearly an
entire day, and then the natural reaction
follows, though not so abruptly as IN the
case of other stimulants.
Continued use is where the main dan
ger lies and almost invariably the user
falls victim to palpitation of the heart
and kindred evils. With cyclists the use
of kola overcomes habit that is really
dangerous.
When starting on long runs 1t is such
an easy matter to take pill and avoid the
fatigue of the ride that many never think
of starting without the dose, and not a
few take it every day. Nearly $4,000 bot

Not few cases have occurred where the
use of kola has been attended with disas-
trous results. During the last Olympic

strong doses of the drug and in one in

A GOSPEL ARMY WEDDING
Comrades Noyes and Barry of
Corps 2 Joined Together
Forever"
The Work of the Organization in
Assisting the Destitute for the
Month of May.

A Gospel Army wedding took place at
the station of Corps No. 2 27H Third
street, last evening. The soldier-couple
were John R. Noyes and Miss Kate Agnes
Barry, two new recruits of the organI-
cation.
A 10-cent admission fee was charged at
the door, which had the effect of drawing
q small revenue from the crowd that came
down into the basement assembly room OF
Corps No. 2.
The apartment was tastefully decorated
with the colors of the army, which is My
the American flag, proving that the or
ganization, if nothing else, is home pro
duction. Commander McKinstry, Staff
Captain Edward E. McCordy and Captain
R. Eubanks, in charge of the corps, with
the choir, occupied the platform. Miss
Grace Sposito, at the piano, led the sing
ing.
After the religious services the wedding
ceremony was performed by Rev. w. P.
Bean of the Gospel Mission, 1137 Market
street. The parson dropped a portion of
the service. However he made up for the
omission by pronouncing them husband
and wife forever"
Commander McKinsiry then explained
the requirements for admission into the
army, which were identical 18th that of
any religious organization. No one was
| bound to remain member, but any per-
son in the ranks was free to join any
| church they might choose, and q letter
would be given them for that purpose.
Staff Captain Cordv, who is the army
commissary, read his report for the month
| of May. He stated that 442 meal-tickets
| had been given away, and 188 free meals
! had been given to destitute persons. Dur
| ing the month 546 lodgings had been given
| and twenty-five had been sold at cents
| apiece.
The army during this period has taken
care of fourteen destitute families, supply
ing them with food and some of them with
clothing also. The officers had visited
eighteen other families who were in need
of more or less assistance.

number of men and in several instances
their fares had been paid by the organiZa-

would be by themselves. 'Drunks' could
be kept in the bird cage" and women ar
rested for misdemeanors in the new cells
while awaiting trial.
Captain Robinson thought that two big
cells would answer the purpose, but sug.
gested that light and ventilation should be
Considered in building them.
The Supervisors approved of the loca-
ton recommended by the Chief, but ex-
planned that there were not sufficient
funds at their disposal to build two cells.
They would recommend that sufficient
money be appropriated to build one large
wooden cell which would have to do for
the present. 1t would be unnecessary to
build it of stone or cement, as the City
Prison would be transferred to the new
municipal buildings as soon as they were
constructed.
An effort will also be made in future to
give the female prisoners awaiting trial
the benefit of an occasional bath.

A Mexican Sentenced for Life
Revealed the Burial

Captain of the Guards Spent Much

HIS DIAGRAM IMPERFECT.

The most authentic story that has yet
been given in regard to the burial of a
large sum of money in Calvary Cemetery
is now given by John Reynolds, who lives
on Fourteenth avenue near ] street.
Reynolds is man well along in years.
and when first approached on the subject
was unable to bring the matter clearly to
mind but after considering it for some
time gave his tale substantially as follows:
"It was in 1869, think, that was super
intendent OF Calvary Cemetery. Things
have changed since those times and a
man would not know the location now. If
1 hadn't seen the gradual change myself
should think that l had been in a long
Rip Van Winkle slumber.
"Now, heard this tale of gold buried
in the cemetery then. 1t was ofte entimes
mentioned and many men used to broach
the subject to me at odd intervals, and
suggest that in my capacity of superin-
tendent / had an excellent chance to search
for the treasure and verify the truth or
falsity of the rumor.
THE story as given now is very inaccu
rate. In the first place it was not an old
pioneer of great wealth that was reputed
to have died and left the treasure buried
there. 1t was another sort OF man alto
gether.
"a certain Mexican had burglarized
residence and got a large sum of money.
Fearful of arrest, he buried it in the Gem
etery between the tollgate and an old
Catholic chapel that used to stand in the
cemetery, but was removed about the time
L took charge of the place.
Later he was detected in some crime,
and had his trial, the result being life
sentence. Whether it was on account of
this burglary or some other crime, l am
unable to remem ber.
His case was hopeless and he realized
1t. After several Intellectual attempts to
obtain a pardon, he became resigned to
his fate. Among the officials of San
Quentin was one mantle captain of the
guards-for whom he conceived strong
liking. | guess it was because this man
treated him better than the rest.

BIRTHDAY OF LIBERTY,
Preparations of Citizens for a
Patriotic Celebration of the
Fourth.
Plan for the Illumination of the
Leading Streets-The Orphan
Children.

Preparations for the celebration of the
Fourth of July are we'll under way, and
the indications are that the exercises OF
the day will be satisfactory to even the
most patriotic San Franciscans.
At its session yesterday the idea of a
grand illumination of the principal streets
of the City was considered by the decora-
ton committee, of which w. H. Davis is
chairman, and w. F. c. Hasson Mrs. N.
J. Vidaver and Theodore Reichert were
appointed as a committee to wait upon
the Edison Light Company to see what
arrangements could be made in the matter.
Chairman Davis stated that the cost of
these contemplated street illuminatlons
would be from $4,000 to $4,000, but he
thought it NAV be possible to divide the
expense with the Golden Gate Carnival.
II is tie idea of the committee to make
the electrical display for three nights,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, upon Mar
ket, Kearny Third and Mission streets.
1t would, in the opinion of the chairman,
be specially pleasing to the people, and if
the merchants along the streets mentioned
would subscribe literally it could be car
ried out.
The cheap, cotton flags which have been
strung across the streets in past years will
be dispensed with this Fourth and the at
tempt made to give brighter appearance
to buildings along the line of march.
1t is the evident intention of the invita-
ton and reception committee to see that
suitable provision is made for the happi-
ness On TIE Fourth of the five thousand
orphan children in the asylums of San
Francisco. The railroad company will be
solicited to give them free transportation
to and from Golden Gate Park. A COM
mittee, of which Paul Mcdonald is chair
man, has been named to confer with the
Park missioners and to learn what
entertainment they will furnish free to the
children.
The City has been districted by the
finance com mittee and solicitors will soon
be appointed to ascertain TO what extent
citizens are willing to swell the Fourth of
July funds.
