for the unsoId produce hand, The main
idea should be to make the trade between
the City consumer AMI the country pro-
ducer as free as possible. All restrictions.
tolls and tariffs tending to enhance the
cost of farm products to the consumer
should be removed"
Wendell Easton, whose travels have led
him to many cities of the world, was asked
his opinion yesterday of the project and
his Judgment as to proper site for a free
market. He has not had time to give the
subject full attention, and therefore re-
served his opinion for few days.
Colonel George w. Granniss, who has
travelled extensively in this country and
Europe, spoke of the advantage of the
market day. to dwellers in the towns of
England. Saturday was market day there
and the choicest products were brought to
town and offered for sale direct to the peo-
pie. Thousands of people congregated to
buy and the convenience to producers and
consumers was mutual.
Senator John L. Beard of Alameda
County said the free-market system was in
vogue in Oakland, but the results there
had not been specially gratifying. In some
instances dealers from San Francisco estab-
lished stands in the free market.
Although the market was free to all. the
hucksters preferred to stand on Eleventh
street and sell from their wagons. He was
of the opinion that the establishment of
free markets in San Francisco would work
injustice to commission men who paid
license, rent and taxes to conduct legiti-
mate business enterprise. He fancied,
moreover, that the ferry tolls and long
hauls by team would prevent many of the
farmers from coming to San Francisco
with their products.

Heavy shoes encased her feet, which she
propelled with lofty stride.
Her companion wore bloomers of dark
material, tanned leggins and white tooue.
Neither of the young ladies carried
umbrellas or mackintoshes. They were
out to defy public opinion and champion
the cause of dress reform.
"The horrid things" said an old lady to
her venerable husband as she stepped to
the edge of the sidewalk in front of the
Mills building on Montgomery street and
allowed the bloomer girls to pass,
"Oh, l just wish. had the courage to

the free-market proposition, is highly en-
couraged by the tone OF public senti m ent.
He said yesterday: ave should have at
least two free markets, and can rea Oily
perceive how the system would result to
the mutual benefit of farmers within twen-
ty- five miles of San Francisco and to many
thousands of people residing in San
Francisco. Say, for example that a
farmer has fifty or sixty dozen
eggs and some little garden truck
to sell. The quantity Is not large enough
for profitable transaction with a commits
sion-house, but the farmer may bring the
load to the City in his wagon and dispose
of it. The site offered by the Board of
State Harbor Commissioners NAV not be
the most desirable, but l apprehend that
the association will pronounce in favor of
its acceptance. 1t may work the begin
ming of other markets free to the populace

a. Fusenot, the resident partner of the
City OF Paris establishment, is an active
member of The Merchants Association,
and is stanch supporter of the free mar
ket enterprise. He expects that the SUBJ
ject will be fully discussed at the cemmit-
tee meeting in the forenoon, and enter
tains the belief that a definite plan of
action will be adopted at the directors
meeting next Thursday evening. He said
yesterday:
1.-The site offered by the State Board of
Harbor Commissioners is a step in the
right course, and while the place desig-
mated may not offer the conveniences to the
public which a free market-place should
possess, it may be used as depot for re-
plenishing other markets. We should
have at least two free markets, and
ultimately four may be found useful, but
the first business in hand is to get one.
The opportunity should be open for
small farmers and cultivators of the gar
HanG in San Matan A Ion aH orio nd
Contra Costa counties to visit San Fran
cisco daily, if desired, or twice week at
least, to dispose of their products. There
should be no tax on the trade. 1t should
be made absolutely free. The plan has
proved highly successful in other cities
and will meet with success here if we can
secure available sites for market purposes.
1t is true that teams coming from counties
on the other side of the bay would be COM
PEELED to pay ferriage, but the tolls should
not be excessive.
In this climate we do not require en-
during marketrhouses. Shelter is all that
is required, and the designation of place
for the farmers to meet In many cities
spaces are reserved by municipal ordi-
nance for market places, and in some of
the leading cities highly ornamental and
substantial market-houses have been con-
structed. While San francisco reserved

reservations, so far as | can learn, were
made. We may be compelled to lease the
ground for one market south of Market
street, and for another north of that thor
oughfare.
''The gain by the free market will be
very great to the residents of the City, and
people of limited means will be the chief
gamers. They can establish customs of
trade with individual farmers, and at the
close of market day may strike bargains

THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Why So Many Are Suffering at This
Time and What They should Do.

Why So Many Are Suffering at This
Time and What They Should Do.
When the weather is hot you perspire. The
pores of the skin are opened, the blood moves
quickly through the veins and all impurities
are thrown out of the system. But when the
weather is cold the pores are closed, the blood
becomes thick and stagnant, it does not circu-
late properly and you feel weak and shivery.
Most people feel chilly in winter for this
reason. and that is why colds and chills are so
prevalent. There is, however, one way to keep
from feeling these chilly sensations and avoid
ing the dangers of wintertime. Many people
have fortunately discovered this way and are
giving others the benefit OF their experience.

SAVED BY THE ALARM.
Attempt to Break Into the House of
John w. Reid, Hayes Street,
Frustrated.

John w. Reid. ex-superintendent of the
Fourth-street bridge. who lives at SOeA
Hayes street, was congratulatlng himself
yesterday that he has burglar alarm in
his house.
Between IL and II o'clock Sunday night
he was awakened from his slumbers by
the ringing of the burglar-alarm. He
jumped out of bed and hurriedly dressed
himself. On going outside he noticed
that the door in the basement was open.
and he saw man walking across vacant
lot near his house.
The man walked west on HAYES street
followed by Reid till Policeman Andersen
was met. Then Reid asked the officer To
place the man under arrest, explaininp
that he had attempted to break into his
house. Anderson took the man to the
City Prison, where he was recognized as

eral years ago was q source of trouble to

On being searched key, resembling a

correct. Faulkner said he was on his way
to his home, on Hayes street, near Devisa-
dero, and knew nothing about the at
tempted burglary He is in the tanks

Public Sentiment Sets Strongly in
Favor of the Proposed Free
System.

L he advocates of a free market in San
Francisco are greatly encouraged by the
pubic response favorable to the enterprise.
Members OF the Merchants Association,
who originated the scheme, are confident
OF successful results. This forenoon a
meeting of the free market committee of
the association will be held, and 1t is ex-
pected that plans will then be sufficiently
matured to present a comprehensive re-
port to full meeting of the directors of
the Association to be held next Thursday
evening.
J. r. Freud of the association was inter
viewed yesterday and spoke hopefully of
the project. He said the meeting today

Joachimsen yesterday afternoon as he
pointed with his finger at Attorney Joseph
F. Coffey.
Sergeant Duncan stepped up to Coffey
to carry out the order, but it was
countermanded and Coffey was ordered to
appear in court to-day to show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt.
The attorney seldom appears IN the
court without a wordy warfare ensuing
Yesterday afternoon Coffey appeared for
Chinese arrested for carrying on lottery
game. Gong Tying, the Chinese employed
by the Police Department to certify to the
correctness of Chinese bonds, was on the
witness-stand and was being cross-ex-
amined at considerable length by Coffey
which caused the usual friction between
him and the Judge, and finally the Judge
adjourned court.
Coffey was surprised and indignant, and
expressed his feelings by the remark:
"What are you paid for anyway? You
are not bit backward in drawing your
salary" Then followed the order for
Coffey's arrest.

TRAGIC FATE OF a GROCER.
Death of L. +. Wynatt, Apparently BY
His Own Hand.


E. +. Wynatt, the proprietor of a grocery
store OF Sixteenth and Shotwell streets.
killed himself yesterday morning at his
home, few doors distant. There is some
mystery about the unfortunate mans fate.
as those who are in position to know saw
he had no reason ito commit suicide and
they are inclined to thing his death must
have been accidental.
Wynatt lived with his wife at 2728 Sig
teenth street, and it was the custom of
Mrs. Wynatt to take his pistol to his store
every evening, so that in case of attempted
robbery he could have some means of pro-
lection. Yesterday morning, how
eyer, her husband departed from
his usual custom. He awoke from
an apparently good sleep, having
gone to bed the night before in a SEEM
ingly happy frame of mind, and, after
eating his breakfast, he asked for his re-
volver, saying he would take it with him.
Just as he was descending the first two
stairs a noise was heard as if he had
stumbled. and, simultaneously a report
OF his revolver. When his wife discovered
him he was lying on the stairs with a
bullet-hole IN the right side of his head.
de was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
but died soon after, and his body was sent
to the Morgue.
Deceased was Mason, 55 years OF age,

NEWSPAPER ART WORK.
Very Fine Display Given by the
Guild of Arts and
Crafts.
Flaming Posters, Dainty Etchings and
Delicate Pen.and.Ink Draw.
ingS on View.

All yesterday, despite the threatening
weather, stream of art lovers flowed in
and out of the Partington studio on Pine
street to view the extensive display of
printing and its related arts being given
by the Guild of Arts and Crafts. If the
opening day be any augury for the future
the exhibition is bound to be successful.
The display comprises books ancient and
modern, displays of binding, sketches,
various processes of pictorial reproduc-
tion and everything in the way of news
paper art work, from the most delicate pen
and-ink drawing to the fiamboyant poster.
One of the most interesting specimens of
modern proficiency in the art of repro
ducing ancient typographical work is a
fac-simile edition of CaXton's "Game of
Cheese, brought out in London in 1860.
The antique back-letter masterpiece of
the great English printer is so faithfully
copied as to seem almost real. The title
page, chapter headings and initial letters
OF paragraphs are particularly ornate.
Another fine specimen of topographic
art is the "Morte d d'Arthur," illustrated
by Aubrey Beardsley, from j. Hara Cos
graves collection. The fine plates with
which the valuable edition is enriched
rendered the volume an object of much in
terest to many of the visitors. In another
showcase is displayed a New Testament,
printed in London in the year 1850 having
the Latin and Arabic versions in parallel
lines.
A missal of the seventeenth century is
one of the gems OF the display. It is in
manuscript throughout and magnihcently
illuminated, the lettering being Latin and
not Gothic in style, and the lines, for q
wonder, being far enough apart to be read
with perfect ease. A ffteenth-century
Antiphonarium, or choir-book, also in
manuscript in another exnihit is sDecial1v
deserving OF notice owing to the clearness
with which the musical notation is given.
The words of the divine Office are in black,
with fioriated and richly illuminated mi
tials, while the rubrics, as in modern lit
urgicai works, are in red.
A copy of the Nuremberg Chronicle,
dated 1893, is one of Miss Hobart's con-
tributions, and is fine specimen of early
German Typography.
Among the excellent specimens of local
art work on view, Edward CucueI has two
very fine sketches in India ink; one GA
Scene in the Salon at the Champs
d. d'Elysees," and the other veritabIe gem
in the same style of work, entitled, 'sThe
First Quarrel" in which two lovers on
bicycles are represented as enjoying the
new experience of tiff.
Ernest G. Peixotto has a line pen-and-
ink drawing of the cathedral at Chartres,
and Frank A. Nankivells fantastic, vet
powerful creation, "The New Woman
was also much admired Among other
pen-and-ink drawings may be mentioned
a portrait of Charles NJ. Shortridge. by ].
Kahler; Horseshoe Girls" by Harrison
Fisher; portraits of Governor Budd and
others by Richard L. Partington; and
''Skating at Truckee," by Arthur Lewis.
The display is unique and frst-class in
its way, and seems well worthy of visit.

wore black felt leggins and blue toque.

 Arizona's reputation as the seat of the recurrent Apache outrage IS maintained by murder of Alfred Hands in the San Simon valley. If some means could be devlsed at whatever expense of pre- venting these occurrences Arizona would profit more than by the biggest irrigation enterprise ever conceived of. It is true that these murders do not arouse much alarm in the terrtory. According to the population in the dis trlcts within which they occure they are no more frequent than murders com. mitted in similarly populated localit- ies, by the civilized against the civiliz- ed.

Died, at Concho, Apache county, Ari- zona, April 8, at 1:30 a. m. Mrs. M P. Killian, mother of E. V. Curtis, of Luna. New Mexico. and George H. Killian, of Concho. Arizona. She was taken with Ia grippe about the first of February. from which complaint she had suffered great deal. Having been troubled with heart disease for several years past, her sickness terminated in dropsy of the heart, Mrs. Klllian was in the sixty ninth year of her age and had lived an exemplary and useful life. She was loved and respected by all who knew her, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends and acQuaint
 ances. During her last illness, all was done that loving hearts could suggest and willing hands perform, but she passed away like one falling asleep, without struggle, as she had desired.
