Its Annual Election of
0 ficers.
The Last SUI viving Relic of San Fran

ment at Banquet.

The annual election of officers of the

relic of the San FIR ncisco Volunteer
Fire Department, resulted in the choice of
the following named to serve for the cur
rent year: President, George I. Bohen;
vice president, Andrew ]. Jessup; secre-
tary, ~. GuiIfoyle; treasurer, James w.
Kentzel; directors-Joseph Figei, George
]. Hobe, William Larkins, W. L. Hickman
ana Joseph Marshall
Monday evening the Exempts gave ban
quet in the ''Old House on the HILL" and
there were present besides the mem bers a
number of invited guests, most prominent
among them Mayor ]. D. Phelan.
After an excellent menu had been dis
cussed, Colonel G. L. Taylor spoke of the
heroic work of the brave firemen and de-
clared that they are deserving of the most
liberal appropriation to enable them TO
carry out their most hazardous duties, and
declared that the $4,000 paid annually to
assist those old-time volunteers who by
reason of age and disability are no longer
able to provide for themselves is money
we'll spent.
James O'Donnell. secretary of the COM
mittee that has the distribution of the
money, read statistics, showing that at
the time the Volunteer Department was
disbanded there were 626 members who
joined the Exempts and 465 who did not
Since then 296 tiremen have been buried
by the Exempts, and by reason of the loss
through designations and for non-pay ment
of dues there are on the roll but SO of the
826. He also stated that aside from the SO
but 325 old fremen are living, and that
since the organization of the department
in 1850 there have died 966 Exemp pts. He
then gave an account of the disburse ments
OF the money in sums from $40 to $40 for
disabled fremen, many of them taken
from the Almshouse and hospitals.
Mayor Phelan, after alluding briefly to
the organization and the work that the
gallant firemen had done, said: You
have strong claims on the City govern
ment, and when you make call for aid
that call should be answered with the
same alacrity that you showed when you
were called to duty"
The speaker then told how he learned
to appreciate The valiant deeds of firemen
when he witnessed the great fire at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, when so many
firemen lost their lives in the discharge of
duty, and concluded by saying, after pay
ing glorious tribute to the Exem pts: "If
in your old age you firemen ask for COM
pensation to aid you in declining years.
not by favor, but by right, you are entitled
TO it: YOU have earned your re ward" "
Auditor Broderick said that no bill was
more justified than the one giving an
allowance to support the old veterans.

Cuban relief resolution was not
signed yesterday by the Speaker

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
not been able to cure in all its stages
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
the only positive. cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutfonal treatment. Halls Catarrb
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destr oy ing the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by toning up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, tina
they offer One Hundred Dollars Re

MANY Think!

when the Creator said to woman,
an sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering Turk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full vigor and strength.
