To postpone at such a vital time as
this regulating the nerves and puri-
flying the blood is serious mistake.
Men and women distressed by nervous
troubles or the effects Of impure blood
cannot afford now to lose a day before
taking advantage of Paine's celery
compound.
In order to avoid disappointment
accept not ling but Paine's celery
compound. A clerk who tries to sell
something else than what people ask
for is evidently not disinterested. He
has an eye to profits more than to the
good of customers.
There can be no substitute for
Paine's celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something
besides Paine's celery compound, and
have failed to get the decided benefit
they had hoped for:
I The strongest Endorsement ever
received for this great spring remedy
and no remedy ever compared with
Paine's celery compound in the

LITTLE PETE'S FUNERAL" "
CONDUCTED WITH DUE PAGAN
FORT AND CEREr1ONY.
An American Band, a Lengthy Train
of 1ourners and Plenty of
Roast Pig and Poultry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-The fu-
neral of Little Pete" the murdered
leader of the Sam Yup Society, took
place to-day, and was conducted with
all due pagan form and ceremony.
Heather prayers were said, heathen
songs were sung, clouds of Chinese in
cense rose from burning punks and
candles and all about the body Of the
dead during the services thronged the
quantity robed priests, the white clad
mourners and scores upon scores of the
slain mans friends and followers. The
principal services were held at Lit
tie Pete's" late residence, S19 Washing
ton street, where his shoe factory Is
also located.
From a very early hour Washington
street from a block above and below
the building was black with people,
Chinese and whites. The strong force
of police which kept constant guard in
the vicinity saw to it there was no ur-
due lingering.
Up stairs In the large room of the
shoe factory lay the body Of the de-
ceased, incased in a costly casket
covered with black cloth. The finest
of clothing was upon the corpse. A
costly robe of brilliantly colored velvet
covered his form, and on his head was
a black mandarin cap,surmounted by a
button of gold. Near the foot of the
coffin burned Chinese candles and in
cense, and within it packed about his
face and neck were bundles OF paper
inscribed with mystic characters, which
were supposed to aid the deceased ON
- 49, - loI 1o
pineSs.
Many large and handsome floral
pieces were arranged about the coffin,
most of them the gifts of Chinese firms
and individuals, though the donors of
several were Caucasians.
ALI morning the white robed MOURN
ers, male and female, stood about the
casket, intermingled with them being
two or three priests. It was not until
/ o'clock, however, that the actual fu-
neral ceremonies began To the Cau-
casian there seemed little significance
in them, though certainly there was
muchthat was picturesque in the strange
chanting of the priests, the barbarfc
notes of the Chinese musicians, the pa
per burning ceremonies, ETC.
During the morning eighteen roast
pigs, two roast sheep and wagonloads
of poultry, sweetmeats. ETC., had been
sent out to the cemetery and thither
the remains were conveyed. A horse
hearse held the casket, an American
band furnishing the music and a
lengthy train OF nournew following.
The Sam Yups marched In a body, as
did several other societies to which the
deceased had belonged, and the line Of
carriages was fully a mile long.
Although the formal interment cere-
monies were arranged to take place at
the City Cemetery, the body is to be
placed in a receiving vault at Laurel
Hill, and further services are to be
held next Thursday.
After the funeral meeting was held
by tina See Yup Society. which plotted
'Pete's'' murder, In celebration Of the
death. There is general joy in the so
ciety over the event, and with them it
Is considered that the death of their
enemy is one of the biggest victories
in the history of Chinatown.

Scientific Aspect of Plum Pudding.

icacies. 1t has shown that tinned meats
ana stale soup often spell poison In
large letters, and that ordinary filters
are no better than so many death traps.
In the midst of all these disouietine
dangers it is pleasant to be able to say
a good word on behalf of our old friend
the English plum pudding. Properly
made and properly cooked, it undergoes
complete sterilization in the boiler. and
can then be kept for year and a day

handed in there were so many kicks
from members about everything and so
many claimed their friends had been
left off that he again appealed to Duck

names and said they had probably been
left off by the printer.
Questioned about the name of Ella
Bateman which was not ON the original
list, nor on the type written List which
was handed in as the committees final
report, Breiling testified that he did
not write it in and did not know who
did. He could not remember If 1T was
on the List as handed in or not.
To question as to how M. J. Flynn
received his promotion between two
days, Breiling said: Il cannot tell"
Ermons said to Breiling: You say
you added names to the roll after some
kick made by members Now was that
not after the Speaker was elected?"
Breiling-I don't know.
Emmons-Was it not after the House
Went into permanent organization and
the Chief Clerk had no further right
to make appointments that these names
We're added?
Breiling-I guess it must be SO.
Breiling was asked by Chairman
Waymire:
How and where did you get the in
formation that so many employees were
necessary to organize the House?"
Il didn't get it,

THE HAND OF THE LAW.
1t Was Violently Laid on Jacob Att
mark Yesterday.

Officer Fitzgerald yesterday respond
ed to a call for a police officer on K
street, between Second and Third.
There he found Jacob Altmark, a dealer
in second hand clothing and other nov
elites, engaged in throwing out of his
place various articles belonging to his
sick wife, with the purpose of also
ejecting her.
Altnlark resented the officers inter-
ference with his pastime, with the re-
suit that "FitZ" yanked him off to Jail
on a charge of disturbing the peace.
1t appears that Mrs. Altmark is
victim of consumption, and when her
husband removed recently from their
former abode ON K street, west of Sec
ond, he took all his belongings except
his sick wife. She has since been sup
ported by the Hebrew Benevolent So
ciety. He had tried to send her to the
County Hospital, but she refused to go
there, as he was we'll able to have her
properly cared for.
During Aitmark's temporary absence
yesterday his abandoned wife was
taken there by friends, and when he
returned he was wild with anger and
at once entered ON the plan of eviction
which Officer Fitzgerald interrupted

FRYE TAVORS ARBITRATION.
BELIEVES NATIONS SHOULD BE
AT PEACE,
Yet the Proposed Treaty With Eng
land Should Not be Railroaded
Through the Senate.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga Sun spe-
cial from Portland, Me-, says: In re-
sponse to a letter urging him to exert
all his influence in favor of the early
passage by the Senate of the arbitra-
ton treaty, Senator Frye sent Bishop
Nicely of the Episcopal Church of Maine
the following communication:
Il have your letter of January Goth,
urging in the strongest possible terms
the ratification of the arbitration
treaty. 1t contains a suggestion that
there may be some opposition to the
treaty from 'partisanship, jealousy or
jingoiSm.' l beg ito assure you, sir,
that there is not the slightest indica-
ton of anything of the kind SO far
apparent. The treaty is before the
Committee on Foreign Relations and
is receiving, as lit is entitled to, a most
careful scrutiny.
Secretary Olney was before us for
an hour and a half Wednesday morn
ing. Each article ought to receive con-
scientious examination. If the Monroe
doctrine, maintained by US for half a
century, is by this treaty the subject
Of arbitration, a good many votes
would be cast against it. Secretary
Olney convinced me that that doctrine,
being a policy rather than a right,
would not be included within it's terms.
THE construction of the Nicaragua
Canal and its practical control by our
Government is considered by very
many essential to our commercial pro-
gress, to 'our peace and prosperity.
Does amy article in this treaty make
arbitration? If it does, objections will
be made by some to the ratification of
the treaty. Senator Edmunds, L am
happy to say, takes the ground that
this is impossible.
"'Another question which attracts
some attention, our Alaskan boundary,
which we hold under Russia and which,
under her and us, has lasted for sew
enty-five years, is now by Canada
called in question? Is this to be arbi-
trated?
You judge me rightly when you as
sumo that I am in favor of arbitration
for the settlement Of questions between
nations. War is a most cruel and
brutal arbitrator. I think, however,
from what I have written that you
will recognize as fact that this treaty
cannot and ought not to be railroaded
through the Senate, but that it should
receive careful conscientious and patri
otto inves tigation.''

ADJUSTMENTS.

The new bill of the new vaudeville
company at the Clunie Opera-house
gives great satisfaction and draws we'll.
All the best features of the first bill
have been retained and there have been
added attractions in song, dance, aero
batic and grotesQue musicians that
make the entertainment a drawing one.
Johnson and Lundin continue to be the
leading feature of the show.
The Bogard Concert Company, which
gave the opening entertainment of the
Sacramento Lecture Association in
1895, has been secured by friends to give
a popular song recital at the Congrega-
tional Church in this city on next Fri
day evening. OF the members of the
company Mr.. Bogert is soon to appear
in opera, and Miss Alma Berglund. Miss
Esther Needham and Dr. Gilbert F.
Graham of San Francisco are very pop-
ular with the muSic-loving people, as
we'll at this city as at the Bay. The pro-
granme of the recital, while including
several classic gems will be principally
composed of popular songs, and the
popular price of % cents has been
placed upon the tickets, with no extra
charge for reserved seats, which are Sc
cured at Purnelrs.

The matter under consideration last
evening was the amendment to the
article of the State Constitution relat-
ing to the judiciary which it is said
will be proposed at the present session
of the Legislature at the instance of
the San Francisco Bar Association.
1t is expected that the discussion will
be continued at the next session of the
