A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

When the old years bells are ringing,
Through the midnight clear and cold;
There is many heart that is singing,
And many heart grown old.
From years of trial and sorrow
And showers of blessings between;
For we must learn by experience,
The mother of wisdom is she.
But youth is ever gladdened
BY the chants of the New Years song,
And the heart of nature uplifted
To bear its breezes along.
So now be up and doing,
For time flies on wings of the wind;
And many heart would be cherished;
Would it list to its lovely teachings.
May it bring you many blessings,
From the hand of God bestowed;
And list to the bells on this New Years nigh
AS you always did of old.
We will hail the glad New Year;
May it bring peace, good will to all.
And now my dear good people
Give your friends New Years call.
LAURA r. SCHMIDT.

deprivation, and suffering. It is four
years from now till 1900.

deprivation, and suffering. 1t is four
years from now till 1900.
But the result Of the late contest be-
tween the people and corporate greed was
by no means Bull Run. Our forces
are stronger today, than before the battle,
and many who fought against us then,
are today deserters from the ranks Of the
enemy and have enlisted In the cause Of
right and justice.
Many Of those who, by association and
in fact, interest, should have been With
us, but who did battle in the "cause Of
gold, ," have already suffered the penalty
of their unrighteousness, while many
more have already repented from the
"erroI Of their ways, and promise to sin
no more. Our ranks are being rapidly
increased, and IL we are true to the cause
in which we are enlisted, the people Will
triumph in 1900. 1t is the duty then, Of
every member of this league, and OF every
citizen who loves his country, who
believes that this is government of the
people for the people and by the people,
to be up and doing, for
"Inaction now is crime. The old earth
reels
Inebriste with guilt; and vice grown
bold,
Laughs Innocence to scorn. The thirst
for gold
Hath made men demons, till the heart
that feels
The impulse of impartial love, nor
kneels
In worship foul to Mammon, is con-
temn'd.
He who hath kept his purer faith, and
stemm'd
Corruption's tide, and from the ruflian
heels
OF impious tranplers, rescued periled
right,
Is call'd fanatic, and with SCOTS and
jeers,
Mallciously assail'd. The poor mans
tears
Are unregarded, the oppressor's might
Revered as law; and he whose righteous
way
Departs from evil, makes himself prey.

KEONG MAKES DENIAL.
He Asserts His Willingness to Aid ii
Bringing His Brothers. Murderer
to Justice.

The statements made to the police by
some Chinese at 724 Commercial street,
that Chew Lee Keong, the brother of
Chew Cling. murdered on Jackson street
by a mem Der of the Wah Ting San Fong
Highbinder Society, would not aid the
police in detecting the assassin, is bitterly
denied by that person.
Keong solemnly affirms that he is will
ing at any time to confer with the officers
of the law, if by such proceeding he can
assist in untangling the twisted skeins of
evidence. In fact, he is SO eager for this
truth to be i'm pressed indelibly upon the
public mind that yesterday he went down
TO the office of his attorney, Alfred l..
Worley. and there repeated it in the
presence of witness through the medium
of an interpreter.
Mr.. Worley has sent letter to Chief
Crowley denying the truth of the state
ments made to Sergeant Wollweber by
the Chinese at 724 Commercial street,
and emphasizing the alleged fact that
Keong Is bubbling over with enthusiasm

does he believe that his client has any in

Will People. Be Stronger and Live
Longer at That lime?
A we'll known scientist says that in a
hundred years from now disease will be
almost unknown, because people will have
learn ed how to take care of themselves
and medical science will have made such
wonderful advancement. This statement
may be true, but it is also true that II peo-
pie were only to take advantage OF the
great discoveries of science even at the
present time they might go through lie
without ever having day'sillness. Many
people have realized this fact and many
have discovered way to keep strong and
we'll the whole year round. Here is an
opinion on the subject which shows how
they manage to do 1T:
Mrs. Ella Feddermann, 291 w. Fayette
street, Baltimore. Md. says: ''Some time
ago Tsuffered from terrible sinking spells
and headaches, as the result of a run down
system and extreme nervousness. l OBJ
tanned no relinf until a friend persuaded
me to try Duffy's pure malt whiskey.
After using it short time l became fully
restored to health"
Science has pl owed that for building up
a run down system nothing compares with
a reliable stimulant-preferabl pure whis-
key. Every person who has ever tried
Duffys pure malt whiskey finds that IL is
unequaled for promoting health. There
is nothing like it for IN aking sickly people

titled to the wonderful benefit derived
from taking it.

story house, were standing outside, terror
stricken, and men were on the roof OF the
adjoining house 100 frightened to attempt
an assault upon the man with the ak.
Word was sent to the Southern police
station and Policemen L. L. Ryan and
Ed O'Dea were sent with the patrol wagon
to arrest the man. When they reached
the place there was hot exchange with
bricks going on between the man with the
ak and three brothers named Kennedy,
who live next door and had clim bed to the
roof of their house.
A long ladder was procured and Ryan
and O'Dea mounted to the roof of 161l.
When they reached the roof the man
dropped the ak down the chimney and
surrendered TO the officers without a
struggle The crowd cheered the officers
as they descended the ladder with their
prisoner and drove off with him to the
Southern station, where he was booked on
charges OF assault with deadly weapon
and malicious mischief. One of the bricks
thrown by the man struck Willie kenne-
dy on the hand, nearly breaking the
bones, for which the flrst-named charge is
made.
The man with the ak was Gustave Fling
Ter, a cripple, 80 years of age, living in
Alameda with his mother. He formerly
owned the house, but was dispossessed by
Flynn & Treacy, contractors. about eigh-
teen months ago by order of the Superior
Court, as he refused to pay his share of an
assessment Tor laying basalt pavement
on the street.
Flngler In explanation OF bis conduct
said: II am the rightful owner of the
property, as it was illegally taken from
me by force in June, 1895, by Flynn &,
Treacy. | did not sign the petition for u
basalt pavement, neither did my mother,
and they could not legally assess me
for it.
Il have notified them several times tha t
l am the owner of the property, and las t
Decem Der inserted notice in THE CALL
that l intended making alterations to til e
house. 1t was with that intention that
went there to-day and cut up the roof and
knocked down the chimneys. They can
not convict me of malicious mischief as
the property is mine.
'The charge of assault with deadly
weapon is unfair. L did not throw any
bricks at the Kennedys till one OF them
struck me on the jaw with brick. Then
had to defend myself.
Il deny that Flynn & Treacy ever got
an order of court dispossessing me of the
property. and the records in the County
Clerks office will show it. The lawyers
have been all against me and | cannot
get my rights.
The roof of the hou Sc, which fat one,
is all cut to pieces nd the chlmnevs are
demoIis ned. The furniture of Mrs. A.
Gallagher and Miss Pauline Field, who
occupy the upper fiat, is almost entirely
destroyed by the falling debris, and they
threaten to compel Fingler to make good
the loss. The lower fat is occupied By
Mrs. Catherine Flaherty. All the tenants
have been paying their rents to Flynn &
