Knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make sluggish
coward out of any man. 1t makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything.
It makes his movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has fight on his
hands just as much as ever had belted
knight It is a matter of life and death,
lust the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the ills
that go with it, NEST frequently start in
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood, and so deranges the whole system.
Constipation is one of the cornmonest
ills, and to it are traceable most of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets firm hold on man, it is most
difficult to overcome it. Temporary re
lief can be obtained in thousand ways
There are medicines on the market that

There is only one remedy that is a real
remedy-that you don't have to keep on
taking forever That is DR.. Pierce's

Harlan & Co., and the Chicago Club book
makers, represented by Abe Levy, whose
stamping Ground is the Palace Hotel.
George Lewison, Mr. Harlan's cashier,
was requested by Mr.. Harris to appear at
his office this morning to werquestions.
''He was not arrested" said Mr.. Harlan
to a CALL reporter last night. "a sum-
mons OF arrest was served on him, and he
was dered to present himself to- m orrow
morning in Mr.. Harris office to answer
questions.
1--WE have had good deal of trouble
with those bogus fve.dollar pieces" added
Mr.. Harlan. Patrons have offered them
to US for tickets, and when we refused to
accept them they made great kick and
said that they got them from the back oi
the box in return for winning pool-tickets.
We have had even gilt nickels showed on
US, and one day l threw several of them
and several bogus five-doliar pieces into
the bay as l was crossing over on the
ferry-boat.
II always made it point to destroy
these counterfeit coins whenever l dis
covered that had any, but some of them
may have been overlooked and paid out
for tickets. | wish the Federal officers
had come to US with search warrant an6
searched our money box, for then we
would have been exonerated even from
suspicion
Mr.. Harlan expressed the hope that the
guilty persons would be apprehended.
and he though that they would be, for
two men were arrested on the racetrack
yesterday afternoon with counterfeit coin
in their possession. They were taken
away aud sequestered by the secret service
agents, and were not allowed to commu-
nicate with any one.
1t is believed that the officers have un-
earthed the nest of the passers of the
"queer," and that the two arrested per-
sons are only part of the gang.

MRS, MARTINS RETURN
She Says That the Women OF
California Excel in
Beauty.

Mrs. Isabelle Martin, well known in
San Francisco by reason of the celebrated
Martin will contest, has just returned
from New York, where she has spent a
year in studying for the stage.
Mrs. Martin looks young and vigorous
after long siege of study, and is very
enthusiastic over her prospects.
Il must first tell you how delighted l
am to return to San Francisco" said Mrs
Martin last night. II felt like a little girl
with new toys when | knew we were in
California again, for there was something
delightful in the sight of orange blossoms
and green things. You know am an old
New Yorker, but l tell you San Francisco
Is ahead of New York in many things.
"Our women out here are more beauti-
full and are better dressed than the New
York women-and that's saying a great
deal. This is not jay town, but we are
COSMOPOLITAN and can give them all points
in many directions"
Mrs. Martin will rema ain here about two
months, after which she will return East
to fulfill some en- agements. Her roper.
toire consists of large mum Der of plays,
but she prefers Lady Macbeth to ali
others.
She says she would be delighted to play
Agnes Booth roles. but would rather be
like Charlotte Cushman than like any
other actress she can name.

.'Do you know / consider Irving the
greatest of all actors? I was delighted
with him, and he sent me box seats for

East.
Hardy is one of the greatest of living
novelists, and his famous Tess of the
d'Urherviiles' is great success in every
way"
Mrs. Martin met many wealthy business
men while East, and was commissioned
to investigate the merits of a commercial
enterprise of considerable magnitude
while here. This may detain her for
some time.

GILDED NICKELS PASSED FOR
FIVE DOLLARS.
Arrest Of Two Men at the Track
With Counterfeit Coin in Their
Possession

For some months past gang OF coun-
terfeiters have been engaged in changing
counterfeit S. pieces for good money, and,
strange as it may appear, they have dis
posed of the greater part of the bad coins
10 pawnbrokers and bookmakers on the
races-a class of people expert in the
handling of money and the least likely to
be deceived.
The United States Secret Service De-
partment was at first notified by a pawn
broker, who was so indignant that he
could hardly speak Some one had re-
deemed a pledge with counterfeit IS
pieces and received some change besides I;
but the pawnbroker was SO elated on get
ting 10 per cent for two weeks interest
that he forgot to examine the coins with
the proper degree of care.
Then came complaints from and con-
cerning bookmakers at the races. Patrons
brought bad coins and said that they had
received them for their winnings Book
makers complained that the bad metal
was worked off on them in exchange for
pool tickets. When there is a rush for
pools the money is swept hastily into the
cash box without any careful examina-
tion whatever. 1t is paid out in the same
manner and the sharpers had no difficulty
in showing large quantity of the queer
into the pool boxes, hedging SO that they
could not lose any amount of consequence,
and having the winnings paid in genuine
money.
United States Secret Service Agent Nick
Harris and his men watched the races
closely, and particularly kept under sur
veIlance the cashiers of several bookmak-
ing firms and their patrons. The book
makers clubbed together and put up a
purse with which they EN- ployed Pinker-
ton detectives to watch their patrons in
order to detect the passers of the spurious
coins.
Still the coins came in with amazing
regularity, in some instances gilded nick
els having been passed as fve-dollar
pieces in the rush. The counterfeit gold
pieces were very poor limitations of the
genuine, being light. destitute of ring and
with their character plainly apparent to
the eye and to the touch. But as they
were offered to the bookmakers always in
a great hurry they were accepted without
suspicion.
The first indication that the United
States detectives had any proofs as to the
guilty parties or that they were on their
trail was noted yesterday when Mr.. Har-
ris obtained search warrants for two per-
