Sunday evening, and Sergeant Bethel &C.
companied him to the doors OF the Fulto n
Houe. Mr.. Mallon undressed and went
to bed at II o'clock, his usual hour OF seek
ing rest for the night.
At II o'clock yesterday morning the
housekeeper and an assistant went 10 his
apartment to attend to the rooms. At
first glance, seeing that the bed was occu-
pied, they fancled that Mr.. MalIon was
sleeping, but the housekeeper, noting an
unusual expression on his face, stepped
forward and touched him. Then she per-
ceived at once that the BODY was lifeless.
The features were not disturbed. No
signs of q struggle were manifest. He lay
on his right side, with his left hand rest
ing on his head. 1t seemed from the
position OF the BODY that he died from
heart failure, passing away painlessly in
his slum Der.
His grandson, Charles MalIon, who
lived with Mr.. Mallon al the Fulton
House, was away for the night attending
Peter Mallon son of the deceased whose
health IS impaired by congestive chills.
Thus it happened that deceased was alone
when the end came.
Few men IN this ty were better known
than John Mallon and none were more
favorablv known. He was generous to a
fault public Splrlted and successful IN his
business affairs. He came to San Fran
cisco in 1858 from New York and estab-
lished 2 ass-cutting rooms in D. a. Mac
donad's mill, corner OF Market and Beale
streets. HIS business prospered from the
start and in the course of time he gained
celebrity for the production of stained
glasswork in the highest style OF deco
ratlve art. Many beautiful windows from
his establishment adorn churches, ca
thedrals and public editices OF the Pacific
Coast.
Open-handed kindness was the domi-
nant trait in the everyday life OF John
Mallen. He had warm heart for his fell
Iow-man, and found it source of soIace
for himself 10 make life pleasant for
others.
Deceased was born in New York in 1923.
He leaves a son, Peter Mallon, and a
daughter, josephine, who were interested
with him in the management OF stained
glass manufacture.
He was drawn as a member OF the pres
ent Grand Jury three months ago, and
was assigned to jury duty as the chair
man OF the Committee on Police Depart
ment, Police Patrol and City Prison. He
was earnest and active in his work from
the time of his appointment until his de-
mise.
The body was removed from the Fulton
House yesterday afternoon TO the under
taking parlors of Porter Brothers on dy
street. The funeral will probably take
place next Thursday.

"FOOL OR PHYSICIAN" "

Which Are You? The Length of Life
Largely Depends Upon the Answer.
every man at 40 is either fool or ply
sician."
This old proverb was based on notion that
every man by the time he reached middle
life usually learns how to care for his own
health. If we admit the truth OF 1t, how
ever, we must concede that very large pro.
portion of the people we meet are not-well,
not exactly physicians. Instead OF taking
care of their health, is it not true that the
majority OF people seem rather to be trying
10 destroy their health by irregular living or
overwork ? Is it not also a TACT that thou
sands OF men are breaking down in the prime
OF life and becoming physical wrecks In con-
sequence of their indiscretion?
All people who have ever made a study OF
the subject declare that this is the case, and
ye. there are to-day large numbers OF hard
working business men and women with many
cares who are always on the go and never at
rest that enjoy the best of hea tn. Do you
Know why this Is so? Ask some OF them ana

ers and druggists keep Duffy's pure malt. but

woman, whose name is kept secret, ar
rived in this city from Portland, Or, and
told the story of his arrest by the authori-
ties of Victoria, 3. c., and incarceration
on charge of forgery. Last Thursday
the Sheriff received official notice that the
man he wanted was in custody in Vic
toria The Sheriff Immediately sent full
description, pictures and . statement OF
the crtme committed by Kasson to the
au thorities having him in custody and if,
as thought, the prisoner proves tc be the
man wanted, measures for his extraditio
will Immediately be made.
Kasson is an Interesting criminal.
Shortly after his arrest In this city he was
notified by an Eastern lawyer that his
uncle, James Kasson of Austin, Iowa, had
died and left him a fortune of $3.50 coo.
The prisoner wished to prove his indemnity
and put his case in such shape that there
would be no difficulty in his coming into
possession OF the money when liberated,
and he requested Sheriff " helan TO allow
him to go TO his room on Market street,
accompanied by deputy sheriff, that he
lawyer in the East. The request was
granted and Ike Rosenheim was selected
to accompany the prisoner.
Rosenhiem, however. was negligent,
and one evening he returned 10 the Jail
without his prisoner. A posse OF deputies
was put on the escapes trail, but he
could not be located. After leaving this
city it seems that ne took the train for
Portland. and arrived there without diff
Guilty. He went to the home OF the
woman who reported his whereabouts to
the Sheriff of this city, and remained
there until he feared exposure, and then
made for British territory. He had no
sooner set loot in Victoria. however, than
he was arrested on charge of forgery,
and he found himself 'out OF the frying
pan into the fire. ;"
Prior to his departure from Portland to
Victoria he was introduced to several men
by the woman who exposed his where
abouts, and after her arrival in this city
she received a letter from one thanking
her for the Introduction. The party who
wrote the letter stated that he was very
grateful to her who had bren instrumental

1t Is Said That the AttOrney-General
Will Ask for an Immediate

Judge Bahrs yesterday signed the bill OF

Theodore Durrant, appealing from his
order sentencing Durrant to hang without
giving him the necessary ten days time in
which to perfect an appeal.
Judge Bahrs refused to sign the papers
on Saturday, claiming that it was useless
to do so, inasmuch as the day for the ex-
ecution of the sentence had passed. He
changed his mind yesterday, however,
and decided 10 allow the attorneys TO per

The transcript will be Immediately
