FROM ALASKA.
Two PrOspectOrs Return from

Ah~n, w. months age Sam Edging ton and $. r. Eaton left Albuquerque for Juneau, AIae.s. Ou wedpaedsy } Sam returned to San Msrcisl, and his partner to Albuquerque, save the San Msrcisl Bee.
 A few pointers about his trip and what they saw in that far away town may be of interest to our readers.
 Owing tO the establishment Of r;val steamboat line. from San Francisco to Alaska, a great change has taken place in the rate. 0! transportation.

SCiiatiC Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only be obtained by using real blood ren,e- dy. 50 many people who are sufferers from an obstinate or deep-scated blood disease make the mistake of taking rem edies which at best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. It Is iu just such cases which other so-called blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S. has made some of the most won derful cures. Rheumatism is one of the most obstinate diseases of the blood, and there are few remedies which have any effect whatever upon it.
 Mir. Asa Smith. who resides at Green- castle. Indiana, where he is we'll known, writes:
 "For many years have suffered from that terrible disease known as Sciatic Rheumatism, wl,;:h the treatment of many physiI.T-- Tailed to relieve l have also used nearly every known blood remedy. but they did me no good, as they did not seem to reach my case at all.

LIFE SAVERS.
Another Test of Street Car Tenders
Yesterday.

There was another test of car tenders
made yesterday on Fifteenth street by
Superintendent Shock of the Electric
Railway Company in the presence of
City Trustee Tozer and many citizens.
a car was rigged with the Hunter
fender on one end and the Crawford
fender on the other The former was
described the other day. 1t operates
beneath the platform of the car and
Just in front of the forward truck. The
Crawford is fastened in front of the car
and forms a sort of scoop which pro-
jects four or five feet, the front being
a couple of inches above the rails.
1t is claimed that when it strikes a
person about the ankles it will throw
him backward into a sort of iron net
work. Or, in the case of a person lying
or the track that he will be scooped up,
as it were.
For that matter, this is the principle
also of the Hunter fender, only that
with the latter the victim must first
be thrown down by an elastic fender in
front, which automatically drops the
scoop beneath the platform.
The straw dummy used the other day
was employed yesterday. The tests,
were, however, not entirely satisfactory,
because the dummy was too light It
would rebound when struck hard, and
when the car came upon 1t slowly 1t
was not heavy enough to roll upon the
tenders, but was pushed along in front
OF them.
When struck in standing position
it fell into the Crawford scoop, but as
1t could not double up the feet remained
on the ground and were showed along.
In a day or two another fender, such
as is in use in Oakland will De tested

A Cross Country Tourist Downed by
John Barleycorn.

Another continental tourist arrived in
the city yesterday This one did not
carry a black cat across the continent
but he did the next thing to it-he led
fox hound with a nice red blanket

The tourist and King" spent the day
making the rounds of the saloons, and
about the time Tom Fitch's burning
sunset was kissing the drowsy sea-"
the tourist grew weary, although he
poses as an athlete. He was found in
the gutter at Fourth and NJ streets,
with his faithful dog chained to his leg
When removed to the Police Station
the man gave his name as G. NJ. Schill-
ing, and stated that he was walking on
a wager of $4,000 from Philadelphia to
San Francisco and return.
Schilling carried leather pouch
which he refused to part with, and
when told that to retain it was against
the prison rules he resisted the officers
Three burly policemen had desperate
struggle with the man in forcing him
into a cell, although he has but one
arm. They declared that it had been
many days since they had come in con-
tact with a man of equal strength.
