JUDGE MCKENNA
TO Be BANQUE TED
Invitations Will Be Issued
for the Evening of Feb
ruary 20
The New Cabinet Officer to Be
Honored by His Fellow
Citizens.
Fare we'll Testim onal From Promi.
nent Men of All Classes Irre-
sp.ctive of Politics.

The many friends of Judge Joseph Nc
Kenna do not intend that the distin-
guished gentleman so soon to be mem
Der OF the Presidents Cabinet shall depart
for the scene of his new duties as quietly
as his own modesty might lead him to
desire.
1t has been determined that he shall
first be made the object OF such a demon
stration as shall serve TO show him some
thing at least of the high estimation in
which lie is so deservedly held by his fell
low-citizens here, and the satisfaction
which they feel in the honors showered
upon him.
The manner in which Judge McKenna
shall be honored was decided yesterday
afternoon at a meeting held in the maple
room of the Palace Hotel. 1t was there
decided to take the form of a com pill
mentsry banquet TO be given at the Pal
ace Hotel Tuesday evening, the 23d, at
which the newly appointed Cabinet officer
will be the guest of honor.
In thus honoring Judge McKenna poll
tics cut no figure in the matter a. all, sew
eral OF the most enthusiastic supporters of
the movement being of the Democratic
faith. One and all realize that in the
selection of Judge McKenna for his Cabi-
net President-eiect Mckinley had not only
done credit 10 his own judgment, while
honoring a man in every way worthy OF
any distinction that could be rendered
him, but had also conferred upon Cali
fornia, so long unrepresented in the ex-
ecutive council chamber, a compliment
which would, if possible, gain in point by
manlfes alton of the manner in which
the people of the State appreciated it.
That this appreciation could be shown
In social attention to one so universally
esteemed as is Judge McKenna among
those who know him best of course only
made those interested embrace the oppor-
tun1ty all the more readily.

REGULATIONS AND LAW.
Board of Health May Have to Appoir

Board of Health May Have to Appoint
Pharmacist to Be Legal.
Has the Board of Health caused one of
its employees to incur danger of a penalty
by the performance of an unlawful act !?
This is topic which has been discussed
by the Health and Police Committee of
the Supervisors. The law in question is
the pharmacy act, which provides that
none but qualified and duly certified phar-
macists, so entitled by the act of the
Pharmacy Com mmission, shall put up pre-
scrlptions of drugs for medicinal use
DR.. WE'LL came before the Health and

that a general prescription business is
conducted. DR.. Well said thai the regu-
lations of the Board of Health provided
for the filling of prescriptions by the

legal power there was for this DR.. WE'LL

thrown out that it would be necessary to

NEW TO-DAY,
MENTAL EFFECTS.
A Healing Test for the Mind.


There are number of commendable
things taught by so-called mind-healers,
for instance, 'Mind is the real being, the
real man, which moves the arms, legs,
eyes, etc., as machines which do its will"
Body is made up entirely of what cones
from the ground and air. A peculiar COM
pound of earta and water, delicately and
most defsly arranged to be sure, but
simple earth and water, nevertheless,
without any force, intelligence or motion

ing mind.
body, or two selves, one which runs the
so-called automatic mem bers, stomach,
heart, bowels, ETC., and the other which
conducts the movements of the outer men,
bers, arms, etc.
1t is curious psychological fact that
when one is slightly ailing new line of
thought will quickly affect the body favor
ably, and particularly if that mental trend
run somewhat as follows: ~ am not
body"
my real self Is unseen and is mind or
spirit, which IS the same as life. Body
being dead material cannot complain to
me except as | sensitiZe 1t and permit the
complaints" II a person can bring him
self TO thoroughly believe this without
ing effect is quickly felt in the body.
Many people have not well enough
trained mind to command just what it
shall or shall not do, but where the mind
is we'll in hand, so to speak, the result OF
such mental exercise is marked and can
not be forgotten.
We write the above knowing that it will
reach the eye OF some honest searcher
after some of the new laws which are
lately coming to be known to man, and to
say that while on the subject of healthful
living it should not be forgotten that good
nourishing food and drink are necessary,
and the unnatural habits are better left
off than clung to. If the reader has trou-
BILE Eith coffee and has never used the
food-drink, Postum Cereal, it will well re-
pay the trial.

HER CHARGE is CRUELTY
Mrs. L. M. Ryer Sues Her
Husband Christopher
for Divorce.
She Contends That He Threatened to
Kill Her and in Other Ways
Abused Her Trust.

Louise NJ. RIVER has sued her husband,
Christopher B. Ryer. for divorce on the
ground of cruelty.
Ryer com promised with the estate of
DR.. Washington N. Ryer for consider
able sum of money, and this appears to
have caused all the trouble, for since that
time his wife says he has abused her.
Ryer is agent for some factories in this
City.
The wife's grounds for a permanent
separation are extreme cruelty extending
over quite period of their unhappy m ar
ried life. She describes her husband as a
man OF an extremely bad tenn perament,
who, without provocation, would abuse
her in public, as well as at home.
For instance, on Dece m Der 90, 1896, the
wife alleges that while she and her hus-
band were dining at the St. Germain res
taurant he reviled her in opprobrious
terms. reminding her in a brutal way that
it was none of her business what he did,
and that "he wanted his girl fixed up, but
that he did not care a = how the plaintiff
looked"
Again, on December 25, 1896, at the
homo of his mother. 1910 Chester street,
Oakland, plaintiff alleges her husband
became angry and, flying into rage,
swore at her and her mother and finally
caused the former to return home at night
alone.
The complaint also recites a number of
cruelties inflicted upon her at 1897 Bu-
chaDan street, this City. On Dece Der
90, the wife declares, she was confined to
her bed by illness, but notwithstanding
this fact her husband forced her to get up
and threatened to kill her if she moved
from the chair in which she was compelled
to sit.
When she appealed 10 him to allow her
to return to her bed the wife SAYS her
husband struck her in the face.
Again, on Decem Der 30, she declares
that her husband came home drunk and.
after slapping her face, drove her from
the house.
The wife also has good reason to recall
last New Years day, for or that occasion
she alleges that Ryer's anger was again
aroused, and he raised the deuce at home.
| abusing her, breaking up the wedding
presents she had received from her
mother, destroying the household furni-
| ture and repeating his oft-time threat to
kill her.
Mrs. Ryer's grievances also extend to her
husbands relatives. On January II, it is
charged, the daughter of Ryer by former
| wife bused her in indecent terms and ex-
pressed wish that her stepmother would
die.
In conclusion Mrs. Ryer says that she
| has been faithful wife to her husband
and can endure his brutal treatment no
longer.
In her prayer for divorce she includes
| request for 500 month alimony and $3.50
counsel fees, which she says ber husband
can well afford to pay from the revenues
of his own property, of which she wants
no share.
She has property in her name, which
she asks the court to decree as her own.

ford.
The cash received is S57S.S24 0S and the

Ing balance on hand OF ST. 1SS 9S.
One considerable item in the expendi-

Mrs. Stanford. Large sums have also
been paid out as legacies. it being the
effort OF the executrix to settle with the
Iegatees rs rapidly as possible.
No change has been made in the source

keeping up the estate are about she same
as last year. This account has nothing to
do with the property held in trust for the

HIT WITH AN AX-HANDLE,
A Serious Charge Grows Out of the
Rivalry of Two Small Con-
Germs.

Germs.
Rivalry between two second hand
clothing-stores on Howard street, near
Seventh, has been waxing bitter for
month past, and the disputes between
the adherents of the adverse establish
ments eliminated Thursday, when Law
renee Carney, the landlord of one of the
stores, struck Mrs. Shapiro, the proprie-
tress of the rival concern, with an ak
handle. A warrant for battery was at
once sworn to by Mrs. Shapiro's daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lena Marcus; but yesterday this
charge seemed 100 light, and on her rep
reservations that her mother was at the
point of death the charge was changed to
assault to commit murder.
Carney rents the lower part of his tene-
ment at 1880 Howcrd street to a man
whom the Shapiros claim is trying to at
tract their customers. His friends claim
that a crowd of the Shapiros and their
friends had surrounded him and were
preparing to assault him, when he struck
out with club in self-defense.
They say Mrs. Shapiro was not seriously
injured.
