SHANT|ES ON CITY LAND,
Mission Street Residents Ap-
peal to the Grand
Jury.
Special Lawyers Were Once Paid
for Ousting Claimant
Callahan.

The Grand Jury will not make final
report this month. Indications are that
adjournment sine die will not take place
before the middle of June.
At the session yesterday some consider
alton was given to a subject introduced by
property owners who reside near the in
tersection of Mission and West Mission
streets. 1t seems that man named Cal
lahan claims some gore lots in that local
ity and has quite collection of shanties
on the land. The claim is made by other
residents that the land so occupied by Cal.
lahan's shanties really belongs to the City.
From all that can be ascertained the
Grand Jury yesterday did not get much
light on the cloudy subject of title. There
is sort of dim record that the old law
firm of Flournoy & Mhoon once enjoyed
special privileges in this community and
some years ago received a fee to look after
the City's title to this Mission property.
That is a tradition at the Mission, hence
the Grand Jury as preliminary step to
the investigation sought TO summon
Messrs. Flournoy and Mhoon.
As matter of fact the senior mem be
of this firm has long since been gathered
to his fathers" but the enterprising Jury
sent 1Or JOnn rIOQTHOy, WHO WAS
attorney for the directors OF the Peoples
Home Bank. As the latter is in no wise

noys and was never q law partner of Mr.
Mhoon, he could not enlighten the jury on
the subject.
Then Major Mhoon, who happened to be
in Judge Sanderson's court yesterday
afternoon, was called to the jury-room
| but Jurors say that his recollection of the
| proceeding was dim and shadowy.
There is vague impression that the law
| trm of Flournoy g. Mhoon did receive q
| fee of $1,000 to look after the City interests
| in this case, and Major Mhoon promised
to look up the facts in the proceeding and
present them to the jury.

statement showing how many appropri a.

priated and the lawyers to whom it was

The Ashworth accusation, which was re-

ing Paine's celery compound, not much
room for doubt is left to the most stuo-
born-minded person. This joyous trans
formation from sickness to health is going
on in thousands of homes across the wide
extent Of this country.
The reputation OF Paine's celery COM
pound has grown by word of mouth, from
persons made well, to others who needed
its healing, strengthening power. The
agreement of opinion among the best-in-
formed, most observant class OF people, In
the well-to-do homes of our largest cities,
as well as in the more frugal town commu-
mites, places Paine's celery compound
far in advance of any remedy. Paine's
celery compound is, in fact, the only spring
remedy ever heard of III the home of
practicing physicians.
This great remedy is not an ordinary
spring sarsaparilla, bitters, tonic or nerv-
inc. Paine's celery compound is as far
apart from any of these guesswork reme-
dies as black is from white in the eyes OF
physicians who regularly prescribe it, use
it themselves and carry it home to their
own families. Paine's celery compound is
the famous formula OF that thoughtful and
studious physician, Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, Md, LID, of the Dartmouth
medical school.
1t is the duty of every man or woman
who has been benefited by Paine's celery
! compound to impress on friends and
neighbors its wonderful efficacy as spring
remedy that is in every way worthy of the
name.
The past of Paines celery compound, as
every one who keeps informed of current
events is we'll aware, is a remarka bic story
Of sick people made well, and of many per-
sons, who had given up health as wholly
lost made strong as ever they were in their
lives. Paine's celery compound is the
spring remedy par excellence. No inyig-
orator has been so much praised, discussed,
recommended and used By physicians, and
discerning, conservative men and women
in every walk of life.
The story of Paine's celery compound in
a nutshell is that it makes people well.

GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
Stanford University Students Perfor,

Stanford University Students Perform
in the New Auditorium.
The Stanford Glee and Mandolin Clubs
gave a concert at the New Auditorium
last night which was vociferously applaud
ed by an audience which might have been
larger, though it could scarcely have been
more appreciative.
lhe entertainment provided by the
united clubs was a thoroughly enjoyable
one. 1t ls three years since the Glee Club
was hrst organized, and the boys showed
the results of their practice during that
tlme by singing crisply, expressively and
With good volume of sound. Their
shading was good and every word they
uttered was distinctly audible. The num-
bers had some of them been heard before,
but college songs will bear repetition with
out wearying the listeners; indeed the
audience showed this by giving an encore
to everything the GIee Club sang. In re-
sponse to a demand for a repetition of
given, and "Ccurtship, phyllis, "Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup the medley
of college songs and 1.-THE Parsons
Chicken Brigade" we're all encored.
The members of the Glee Club consist of
Shirley Baker, Charles g. Decker, Charles
b. Pinkham, Guy Cochran. W. A. Suther-
land, q. w. Bush. Philip T. Abbott, a. G.
Neil, W. T. Young, Q. Van H. King, F. A.
Schneider, Tarn McGrew, w. J. Schlacks
Shirley Baker, leader.
The Stanford Mandolin Club has only
been organized year, but it did excellent
work last night; the shading and phrasing
were particularly good and the precision
left little TO be desired. In addition to
accompanying the singers in several num-
bers, the Mandolin CLUB played the "Har-
wood Gavotte, "El Vaquero," Z" the "Stan-
ford University March," by A. G. Kauf-
NJ an, and Zulu dance
The march received a double encore,
and the audience showed desire to hear
everything over again. The mandolin
club is posed of w. Bittle Wells, George
B. Wilson, a. G. kaufman, H. H. WEIGH,

TRANSFERS TO STAY.
No Probability of Through Lines to
Obviate Their Use.


Obviate Their Use.
In the course of an interview with
General Manager Vining OF the Market
street Railway Company on Thursday
relative to the transfer situation, he stated
that "a transfer is always Objectionable,
and is used only as the best substitute for
q through line of cars
This apparently contained an idea for
the solution of the obnoxious transfer
situation, and yesterday Mr.. Vining was
asked whether it was possible for his COM
pany TO arrange for through lines Of cars
and so eliminate transfers from streetcar
transportation altogether.
To this he replied that il was impossible
to put into operation through lines so as
to cover the routes over which passengers
are now carried by means of transfers.
The reason Tor this, he added, was that
the lines were operated by four kinds of
power, viz: electric, cable, steam and
horse, and were built on three different
gauges, viz: 3 feet inches, feet 81
inches and feet.

to do in case the Supervisors passed the

OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUM
Captain Smith Takes Too Much of the
Drug aud Succumbs to Its
Effects.

A. w. Smith. retired sea captain, died
at his home, s1715 Golden Gate avenue,
from the effects of an overdose OF lauda-
mum, taken accidentally, yesterday
morning.
Captain Smith was So years old, and well
known in sea-faring circles. Latterly he
has been without a ship, and in conse-
ouence was somewhat despondent. In
addition to this he was forced to undergo
a severe surgical operation, which added
materially to his otherwise disturbed mind.
On Wednesday he complained OF feeling
particularly bad, and DR.. Hall was called
in, leaving prescription which for the
time being seemed beneficial. At night,
however, he grew worse, and early yester-
day morning the pain became SO intense
that the captain swallowed the contents of
a good-sized vial of laudanum. An hour
later he was discovered by his daughter in
diving condition, the final end coming
thirty minutes later.
The death certificate was signed by DR..
Hall, but Coroner Hawkins refused to
accept it. An autopsy and inquest will be
held Monday.

Law and Longevity.

In an address before the St Louis
Law school, Chauncey NJ. Depew said:
The law promotes longevity. 1t is
because its discipline improves the
physical, the mental and the moral
conditions of its practitioner. In other
words, it gives him control over him
self, and great philosopher has writ
ten that he who could command him
self is greater than he who has cap
tured city. The world has been
seeking for all time the secret OF Ion
gevity and happiness. If they can
be united, then we return to the
conditions of Methuselah and his
compatriots. Whether may live to
their age, I know not, but think l
have discovered the secret of Methusa-
leh's happy continuance for nearly
1000 years upon this planet. He
stayed here when he had no steam and
no electricity, no steamers upon the
river or the ocean propelled by this
mighty power, no electric light, no
railways spanning the continent, no
overhead wires aud no cables under
the ocean communicating intelligence
around the world, and no trolley lines
reducing the redundant population.
He lived, not because he was free from
the excitements incident to the age OF
steam and electricity, but because of
the secret which I have discovered,
and it is this: Longevity and happi-
ness depends upon what you put in
your stomach and what gets in your
mind.

The Industrious. Yellowhammer.

William R. O'Ncill, of the Pacific
vinegar factory, roticed q yollowhsm
mer industriously at work one day re-
Gently on tho siding of the factory
building. Mr.. O'Neill watched the
bird for some time, and inside of an
hour it had cut o round hole two or
three inches in diameter through the
inch planking. Mr.. O'Neill is not q
mean man, and if the bird cared to
make its home in his vinegar factory,
why, it was all right. Next day, how
ever, he noticed that the yeliowham-
mer was engaged en- another hole.
stIt's for q back door," thought the
owner of the building. But after it
had finished the back door it cheer
fully went to work on the other holes,
probably for windows. BY the time
there were fifteen holes in the side OF
the factory Mr.. O'Neill concluded..t that
the yellowhammer was taking liberties
with his property. So he obtained
permission from the Chief of Police to
shoot it. For whole day tho Office
boy and Mr.. O'Neill's brother banged
away without feazing tho littlo bird,
and it was finally necessary to employ
on expert marksman to bring it down.
The ma1ksman charged fifty cents for
his services, and Mr.. O'Neill also lost
the best part of day mailing boards
over the holes in the planking, Port,

Transportation of Bank Notes.

United States Treasurer Morgan
has issued circular revoking that Of
November II, 1893, which required
the charges for the transportation of
National bank notes to the Treasurer
of the United States for redemption,
under the act of June 90, 1874, to be
paid by the senders. In explanation
of this action, it is said at the Treas
ury that, under the present arrange
ment, the banks at the Eastern money
centers. are constantly receiving re-
mittances in National bank notes from
the country banks, and as these notes
cannot be used as lawful reserve, the
Eastern bankers are compelled to send
them to the Treasury for redemption
at their own expense. They complain
that this arrangement entails On un-
just burden, which should be distrib-
uted among the banks of issue. This
view is shared by the Treasury officials,
and hence the new order. Hereafter,
at the end of the year tho cost of
transporting National bank notes to
the Treasury for redemption will be
charged against each bank of issue,
according to the amount of its notes
redeemed during the year. Washing
