FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
FOB WEAKNESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY.
THING ELSE FAILED,

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almost i'm possible and under
such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was question whether he had not
better take dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of q com bination
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
emaciated parts to natural size and vigor and
he now declares that any man who viii take
the trouble 10 send his name and address NAV
have the method OF this wonderful treatment
Free Now, when l say free l mean absolutely
without cost, because l want every weakened
man TO get the benefit of my experience,
am not a philanthropist, nor do 1 pose az
an enthusiast, but there are thousands OF men
suffering the mental tortures of weakened
manhood who would be cured at once could
they but get such remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how can
afford to pay the few postage-stamps necessary
to mail the information, but send for it ana
learn that there are few things on earth
that, although they cost nothing to get, are
worth a fortune to some men and mean life

GRAND MARINE DISPLAY.
The Suggestion of National Parlor of
the Native Sons for the Ceiebra-
ton 1900.

Many of the parlors of the order of the
Native Sons OF the Golden West are al
ready devising ways and means to cele-
brate in fitting manner the 9th OF Sep
tember, 1900, in this city. 1t is proposed
that the celebration shall be one OF
unusual magnitude. and the officers and
members of each parlor are making sug-
gestions as TO what would be most appro-
pirate on that occasion.
National Parlor of this city, through
w. Z. Felt, president, and other officers,
points out 10 the officers of the order at
large that during the celebration a pleas
ing ana attractive feature would be a
grand marine demonstration on the bay
of San Francisco by the Government war
ships, and ADVISES that as soon as practic-
able the matter be taken in hand, ana that
influence be brought TO bear upon the
Government officials at Washington, d. T.,
to prevail upon the Secretary of the Navy
10 order as many vessels of the navy as
possible 10 the bav OF San Francisco at
that time and for the purpose alluded to.
The officers are of the opinion that this
proposition will receive the united atten-
tion of the mem bers of the order through
ont the State.

Another Blythe Heir.

According to the estimate OF Attorney W. H.
II. Hart new claimants to interests in the es-
tate of the late Thomas II. Blythe will bob up
in various parts OF the world for the next fifty
years. The latest, according to the Westmin-
ster Gazette. is Charles Blythe, an aged resi-
dent OF Tweedmouth, England. who for the
best part of fifty years has been following the
unsmith's business. The new claimant is one
OF the Yetholm eypsies, and he asserts that
his father was cousin TO the late Csiifornia
millionaire. Attorney Hart says that this
man was represented in the late contest by an
attorney, ana has not evidently learned how
the case was decided. Atany rate Mr.. Hart
has no fear of the new claimant, saying that
the daughter comes first, and even if the m an
is relative of the late Blythe his claims to
any part OF the estate are of no value.

A NEW VOTING SCHEME.
The Charter Convention Investigates
the Intricacies OF the Proportional
Representation Ballot Sy tenn

The Charter Convention Investigates
the Intricacies OF the Proportional
representation Ballot Sy tenn.
The first part of the charter convention
meeting last evening was devoted to the
consideration OF the intricate proper
tionaI representation system OF voting.
Alfred Crldge gave an explanation OF the
scheme, and then the convention took an
experimental ballot under the system.
In committee OF the whole the report os
The committee on Health Department
was taken up and finished. Section g. pro.
viding for the appointment o. visiting
physicians and surgeons for the City Hos
piIaI by the Board OF Health brought up
con nsiderable debate on the question as to
whether the faculties OF the University OF
California and Cooper Medical College
should have the power OF nominating
these appoin tees. 1t was contended that
the homeopathists should have a chance,
and the provision in regard to the schools
was voted down.
Other sections were adopted providing
for the appointment OF internes and po-
lice surgeons and designating their duties.
The numbe of health officers TO be ap-
pointed by the Board of Health and the
fixing OF their salaries was left to the
Board OF Supervisors and all appoint
mems are TO be under civil service.
The removal of any member of the Board
ri Health is TO be the power of the Mayor
with the proviso that majority of the
Supervisors approve the removal.
Mayor Pheian called the attention of
the commiutee to the fact that owing to
the Supreme Court decision there was some
doubt as to whether the FreehoIder elec-
tion should be under the new or the ola
law. The matter was referred to the law
committee.

BETTER TIMES ARE HERE.
But Few Union Workmen Are Now Out
of Employment.

of Employment.
The reports of the union workmen to
their respective unions are of the most
encouraging nature, but few men being
out of employment. Such at least were
the reports made Monday evening at the
regular gathering of the sandstone cutters.
Within the past few weeks large mum be r
have gone to the big Southern Pacific Rail-
road bridge work at Modesto, and those
who remain are kept busy on the ferry
and Hall of Justice work.
Even as it is there are not many idle
men, and when the new Wells Fargo build
ing is started on Second and Market all
will surely find employment. On the ferry
building the union men have less trouble
with the contractor than formerly, but
this may be on account of the scarcity OF
good stone-cutters.
In the carpentering trade the same
state of affairs seems TO exist. There are
many large jobs now on the contractors
hands and many small jobs to be done
for which there are no workmen very
anxious to offer their services. In fact
there is good demand for men 10 take
wo<k that will last only few days, and
nearly all the available men are holding
out for something that promises a long
run.
Monday evening Carpenters and Join
ers' Union No. 463 met and decided to
join Issues with the Building Trades
Council-a matter that has been under
con nsideration for long time. Union %
has already signified its intention to join
the council, and No. 304 will in all pro ba-
bility follow suit very soon. This accom-.
plished, the council will be the strongest
body of organized labor west of the
Mississippi.

Much Discussion Over a
Probable Change Of
Soldiers.
More Talk About Colored Troop
ers Coming to the Pre-
sidio Post.
Promotion of Lieutenant Irwin-score
Of the Infantry Team at the
Vancouver Barracks,

Once more there is q great agitation in the
Presidio circle by reason of the rumor that it
will not be long before the colored cavalry
now in Wyoming will be assigned to duty at
the Preside and that the Fourth Cavalry
troops, now here, will be sent TO the post
vacated by the colored troopers. There are
many of those at the post who do not
relish the prospective change, and, while they
are not slow in expressing their opinions,
they are met with the question that was
familiar one with the late Bill Tweed of New
York, "What are you going TO do about it?"
There are some of the residents OF the post
who, looking ct the possible change in a
philosophical manner, say that the troopers
are soldiers, be they white or black, and that
they can be looked upon only as soldiers.
These are OF the opinion that a change in the
color of the troopers will not cause any great
disturbance in the post.

LYONS, FRANCE. Oct. ia shepherd
named Vacher has been arrested at Bel

a series OF so-called "Jack- the Ripper"
murders. He has confessed to killing
three shepherds, three girls and two old
women.
Vacher, the authorities say. was for
merry confined in an asylum for the in
sane. The series of murders already
credited to him have been actuated by
purely blooithirsty instincts. as the vic
tins we're all poor people. They were ter
ribly mutilated after their throats had
been cut and all the women were as
saulted.
