GRIP DEALS HARD BLOWS.
some OF It's Consequences Described By
Famous English Authority on
Nervous Disease.

DR.. W. r. Covers, the leading British author
ity on nervous diseases, tells how acute mala-
dies like influenza leaves the system weak and
prey to varied evils. Mental dullness, lndis-
position to effort of any sort, and stiffness in
the arms, legs and back are among the ugly
things that the hateful grip leaves behind 1t.
Health and spirits are dragged to very low
level and kept there. Maybe the sufferer puts
on bold face ana insists that he doesn't need
any more medicine. He will pick up and be
all right in a little while, he says.
So he will, provided he acts like man OF
sense and hastens the return OF his old energy
with that sound, reliable stimulant, Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey. Experiments unnum-
bered have been made to find something to
tone and brace bodies exhausted by influenza
and kindred diseases. Whatever the future
will bring forth, the fact is solidly established
that a good medicinal whiskey is the thing
needed to quicken the languid circuianon'
thus preventing an excess OF blood In some
parts of the body and an under-supply OF IL III
Others
Duffy's Pure Malt is not made for barroom
purposes but solely as medicine, to be used
In debilitated states of the body. Rigid anaiy-
sis has shown it to be free from trace OF harn-
full substance.
Its effects are immediate and so wholly bene.
nefcial that even the dreaded grip has iost
most OF its terrors where this peerless whlsKey
is used.

BURGLARS STILL BUSY
Several More Residences in the
Western Addition Are
Entered.
The Police Suspect Two Ex.Convicts
Who Are Working as Potato
Peddlers.

Two burglars who are operating IN the
Western Addition are giving the police
considera BILE trouble. Men have been
specially detailed TO capture them, but so
far they have been unsu ccessful, and re-
ports of burgIaries keep coming in to
police headquarters.
Yesterday morning Joseph Arriheim,
1927 Ellis street, reported to the police that
his house had been entered on Saturday
night and a gold watch and various
articles of jewelry and silverware had been
stolen, including most of their m marriage
presents.
The family left the house at O'Clock,
and did not return until shortly before
midnight. The rear door had been forced
open with Jimmy" and every room had
been ransacked for money or jewelry. The
bureau drawers in all the bedrooms had
been searched, and the burglars did not
take time TO replace the contents but left
them scattered about on the floors.
About 7 O'Clock two men were seen
lettering in front of the house. One rang
the doorbell two or three times and then
they were seen to go away. The pre-
sumption is they had returned in few
moments and broke into the house
from the rear.
"
potato peddlers who broke into the house
of Mrs. Miller, 715A OFarrell street, on
Saturday morning while she was at church
and stole several hundred dollars worth of
iewelry.
The police have been furnished with
good description of the two men, and their
capture is only question of time. They
are supposed to be two crooks who have
recently been discharged from San Qaen-
tin and are committing the burglaries
under the gulse of potato peddlers.
Among the other burglaries reported to
the police within the past few days besides
the two referred to was one at the house
1896 Sacramento street and another at the
residence of j. Russ on Mason street, near
Jackson. Both of these places were entered
while the families were temporarily ab-
sent, and valuable jewelry was carried off.
The lady at 1926 Sacramento street was so
frightened by another probabl visit from
the burglars that in two days afterward
she removed to another locality.

project of line along the picturesque
canyon of the Merced to the Yosemite as
something that should have been thought
of and carried into execution years ago.
One of them, who was intimate with the
Southern Pacific favorite methods, gave
some reasons why this road was not built
in past years.
1.-THE Southern Pacific had too good 3
thing in their stage route, ne said, TO
think of introducing anything ike
branch road. Just imagine, what fhey
have been making on tourists!
''To begin with, the fare round trip
alone has been $50, and it will be $50 till
this new road is built. The stage route
has been taxing about 25OO tourists year
into the valley, so you may say that the
total income in round numbers has been
$3.50 900 for this apparently insignificant
business alone. AS many as 1000 tourists
Southern Pacific rail and stage lines in one
season. That year the receipts were $780,
600. In addition to all that the tourist has
to paw for sleeper to Berenda, and for
meals on the way. In fact the general
public has no idea of the amount of money
that has been in this business.
81 believe that when this new road is
finished, travel to the Yosemite will in
crease tenfold. Then the Southern Pa
stages, and quit selling tickets to the val
lev, and Sam Miller will have to mourn
an occupation gone. 1t will be like the
passenger business to Portland nowadays;
people will travel on the Merced River
Railroad as they are now going north by
the steamers"
Mr.. Wulkop, the promoter of the new
line and member of its board of direct
ors, corroborated the railway agent.
saying: I'VE have gone into this
question carefully, and l can say that the
number of yearly visitors to the Yosemite
by the stage route exclusively averages
between $500 and 1000. We intend to have
all that number for certainty and thou
sands more at a greatly reduced cost.
They can leave San Francisco late in the
evening and awake next morning amid
the beautiful mountain scenery of the
Merced Canyon, which is analogous to
that of the valley ITSELF"

SAL VAT|0N|STS SERENE.
Are Not Disturbed by the Recent
Demonstration in New
York City.
The Monster Welcome Meeting to
General Booth in the Crystal
Palace, London.

The demonstration in honor of ex-Com-
mander and Mrs. Booth in Cooper Union
on Sunday night does not appear to have
had any effect on the officers and soldiers
of the Salvation Army in this City. They
are all at their several posts, and do not
seem to manifest any desire to want to
join the new movement.
II have no idea what the extent of the
new movement will be- said Major
Halpin, editor of the War Cry, last even
ing, land up to late hour we have not re-
ceived any advices from New York. l do
not understand how ex-Commander Booth
can be anything but a Salvation Army
warrior; born and raised in the army, he
is full of its teachings, and it seems i'm
possible for him to be anything but one OF
the Salvation Army.
Through his private secretary came the
announcement that he and his wife would
retire from the army and devote them
selves to evangelical work, but l do not
think they will do that.
1.-The great struggle for supremacy will
take place in New York City, and the ad-
vance of any movement looking toward
organization OF a separate body can be
checked there. The forces in the United
States will be guided by that.
"On the 10th General Booth, who was
absent in India at the time of the trouble,
will be present in the Crystal Palace,
where q monster welcome meeting will be
held, and it is probable that comm ission
of inquiry will be appointed to hear the
statements of both sides and make re-
port. There has been request that we
suspend judgment on this matter for a
while, and our people here are doing so.
1T is little strange" said the major,
after going over the recent troubles, that
ex-Commander Booth and his wife should
have said, as the published reports have
it, that they continued in the army until
the Lord told them to discontinue, and
that warning from the Lord should come
just at the time the ex-commander re-
ceived notice to farewell He ought to
have obeyed the farewell request and
shown obedience to his superiors, as he
expected us to obey him when he was in
command

THE F|RE-ALARM SYSTEM
Changes to Be Made When the
Central Station Is Moved to
the City Hall.
Dynamo Force Will Replace the Cell
Batteries-A Special Telephone
Line-The Old Bell.

cit is impossible to say at this time when
this department. will be told that the new
quarters in the tall tower of the City Hall
will be ready for US" said W. r. Hewitt,
superintendent of the fire alarm and police
telegraph system, yesterday, ''but as soon
as such notice is given shall be ready to
state what will be needed.
This year shall apply to the Super
visors for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the expenses of the changes that will be
made in the system, changes that the
growth of the City demand for the better
protection OF property. In the new place,
which will be lifted up very much on the
of cells will be done away with and dyn-
amo will be used instead. There will be q
change In the arrangement of circuits,
some OF which at this time are over
crowded. On some circuits there are
thirty fire alarm stations, and there ought
not to be more than ten or twelve. This
great number of stations on one line has
the effect OF creating confusion with the
Taper lines, which are indirectly con-
nected with the stations.
THE tappers, you understand, are the
little instruments that give notice in the
engipe-houses that an alarm Is being sent
in, and they also give the number of the
station. When two or more alarms are
turned in at the same time from stations
on one circuit there is mixing of mum.

use OF Taper an alarm is received at the
engine-house considerable time ahead
of that given on the gongs and bells.

the general system. Everything that can

doned, but what will be done with the old
bell on the tower am unable to tell. If
the Fire Department should be changed
into full paid one there would not be any
further use for the big bells.'
This old bell was imported from the East
IN the hftles for the Volunteer Fire De-
partmentand placed on the top of the old
Clty Hall, and for many years was struck
by hand, the alarms in those days being
given by districts. The City was divided
into twelve districts and the bell-ringers

strange smokes and unusual bright lights.

structure SO badly that it had to be razed
