A BOND FOR MORELLo.
Ahe county Clerk Has Accepted the
Pacific Surety Company as
Surety.

The bond of Frank A. Van Ness for
10000, to insure the delivery of the horse
Morello to William Nj. Singerly and Louis
Lammerty, has been approved by the
County Clerk.
The surety on the bond was the Pacific
surety Company. and it was objected to
on the ground that the company has la
bll1ties far exceeding its assets. The Paci-
nc Surety Company. it was shown, has a
capital stock of 100000, and it is surety
on bonds amounting to over $5,000,000
Objection was made to the bond on that
account, and also because it was directed
TO the Sheriff instead of the plaintiffs in
the action. George Lee, Deputy County
Clerk, sat in state and heard arguments
Tor tie bond from r, Porter Ashe, and
against it from Abram Ruef.
Lee had consulted with Judge Wallace
and they had concluded that bond was
not a liability or such one as promis-
sorry note, and a company might go on
any number of bonds, provided no single
bond amounted to more than the capital
stock. A bond, said Judge Lee, is con-
tingent liability, one that becomes an
actual liability only when the bond be-
comes forfeited. He therefore accepted
the bond with the Pacific Surety Company
as surety.
An interest in the horse was acquired by
Van Ness in the East about four years
ago, and ever since the question of owner.

NEVER SPOKE ON FUNDING
William B. Curtis Repudiates a
Huntington Alleged
Interview.
The Manager of the Traffic Association
Exposes Southern Pacific
Trick.

The anti-funding bill bureau of G. P.
Huntington's in Washington has made a
barefaced plea in its unpopular cause, little
thinking that, like the boomerang, the
play for sympathy would come back upon
1t with overwhelming force Through q
Washington paper it caused to be pub
ished series of interviews with men
prominent in various walks of life in San
Francisco, all expressing unbounded ap-
proval in the funding bill.
Among the number of those represented
as having been interviewed was Traffic
Manager Curtis of the Traffic Association
OF California, the avowed enemy of high
freight rates, and consequently the foe OF
the Southern Pacific of Kentucky.
There was no man more thoroughly
surprised than myself on learning that an
interview with me had been published in
the Washington Post" said Mr.. Curtis
yesterday. II have srefraiped from ex-
pressing an opinion on the funding bill,

IS AN OLD FORMULA
DR.. Edson's Consumption Cure
Declared to Be Nothing
New.
DR.. Joseph 0. HirschfeIder Expects to
Show More Astounding Results
Very Shortly.

Asceptolin, compound which is the
creation of DR.. Cyrus Edison of New York,
and from which great results are expected
in the way of killing the germs of con-
sumption, is not exactly a new remedy,
according to DR. Joseph o. Hirschfelder,
who has waged war somewhat in the past
few years against the dread tuberculosis.
"The ingredients in asceptolin, said the
physician, "have already been used in the
treatment of consumption. Phenol is
simply another name for carbolic acid,
and pilocarpin was in use one year ago by
DR.. Waldstein of New York.
II do, not say this to detract in. the
slightest degree any of the credit due Dr.
Edison. and shall be perfectly delighted
if further observation should prove the
doctor to be correct in his expectations.
.'The method am employing in the en-
deavor to suppress tuberculosis is entirely
different from that of DIR. Edison. and is an
imitation of the healing process that
occurs in the many cases of consumption
that have been known to recover.
"The results thus far obtained in my
treatment are even more striking than
those reported by DR.. Edison, but are not
yet TedQy lOT d iuii cApOciIluu. Lie Qe-
scrlption of the method until it is revealed
will be placed in the care of DIR. Lane,
president of Cooper Medical College, who
has consented to become its custodian"
DIR. Hirschfelder's idea of the situation,
as far as the ultimate curing OF consump-
tion is concerned, is that some remedy
will be found. Stronger even than that,
he believes that the lymph with which he
is experimenting upon the patients IN the
County Hospital will sooner or later mas
ter tuberculosis. He likewise believes that
Dr. Edson's treatment can only result in
good as it is made up of the ingredients
recognized up to date as proper in the
battle against consumption.
