doesn't care two straws about a fine spun
theory of how he should treat himself. He
may be predisposed to scrofula, or consump-
ton. "That, y he will tell you 81 has moth
ing to do with the case" He wants to be
we'll. If he can be cured, write out pre-
scription and send in your bill. So, here's
the first part of the proposition.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
a medicine that permeates the whole body
as water goes through sponge. 1t is mi
crobe hunter and rlicrobe killer. 1t is
well-known fact that many persons of scrof-
ulous blood, encourage the breaking out
of unsightly sores, to prevent the disease
going to the lungs. There IS no need OF
living in this state of dread and discomfort.
Purify the blood. It can be done. The
Golden Medical Discovery" will cure 90
per cent of all consump.;ve cases, also of
all other lingering, bronchial, throat and
lung diseases. Don't allow druggist to
persuade you into taking something that
he says is lust as good" Maybe it's bet
ter for him better for his profits. Take
the Golden Medical Discovery p the
greatest discovery of the age. In addition,
in order TO know yourself better, send to
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, Buffalo, N. Y, II one-cent stamps to
cover cost of mailing only, and get in re-
turn, Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser. 1t is book of 1908 pages, illus
trated, and is full of common sense talk
that any one who can read will understand.
And here is the testimony of Mrs. E. E. EN-
pERs, Of Carry, Ohio, il regard to the Golden
Medical Discovery: II had troublesome
skin disease suffered much from surface sores.
Nothing helped me until tried the Golden
lung trouble. Again the Discovery cured me. +"

Birds have all sorts of queer adven-
lures, but perhaps what was the oldest
one of recent days is that which befeli
d sparrow at Anderson, Ind ltflew in
to a knife and bar factory, and, getting
too near a small wheel. was sucked in.
The workingmen noticed it go into the
wheel, but knowing that the cylinder
was revolving at speed of 130 reyolu-
tions a minute, took it for granted that
the bird had been killed. When the
factory shut down at noon the men
were astonished to hear gentle chirp
from the wheel, and 10, there was the
sparrow as well as ever. They found
that the bird had clung to the strength
ening rod of the wheel and was in
semi-dazed condition. They picked
him up and put him on table, and
thence, after collecting his wits, the lit
tie bird flew to freedom. The wheel
in which the bird rode made $4,000 rev

LIQUIDS POSTAL BILL.

1t Is Severely Condemned by the
Trades and Labor Alliance.
The San Francisco Trades and Labor
Alliance last evening met and adopted a
resolution cordemning the Loud postal
bill introduced into Congress. The reso-
luton reads as follows:
WHEREAS, There is now before the Congress
OF the United States a measure known as the
Loud postal bill, which bill is intended TO re-
duce the annual deficit in the revenues OF the
Postofice Department, as revealed by the re-
port OF the Postmaster-GeneraI; and whereas,
the provisions of the aforesaid bill
contem plating, as it does, an increased postal
rate on the periodical literature of the day,
the already struggling labor press as to make
its continued existence doubtful; and whereas,
the triumph OF such measure would but aid
in still further concentrating into the hands
of the wealthy the means by which pubic
opinion is nodded leaving the poor and op-
pressed classes Witho ut medium throug h
which to check oppression and reproye wrong
doing; therefore be it
ReSoived, That the San Francisco Trades and
Labor Alliance, in regular weekly meeting
assem- bled, does hereby repudiate the Loud
postal bill as at present constructed and rec
ommends to It's thor a revision based upon
the reduction of the present railway charges
for carrying the mails from cents to l cent
per pound, the rates now being charged by
express companies for the carrying OF mer-
chandse.

FIFTY DOLLARS
FROM CHICAGO
The Round Trip Rate to
Christian Endeavor
Convention.
Special Amphitheater Arrange.
ment in the Mechanics
Pavilion.
The Public Cautioned to Pay No Money
Except by Check to Treasurer
w. II. Croker.

The Western Passenger Association at
its meeting yesterday in Chicago decided
to make round-trip rate OF $50 from
Chicago TO San Francisco for the Chris
tian Endeayor convention. to be held in
this City from July to II next. A rate
of $46 so from st. Louis and Memphis was
also made for the round trip.
This is one of the cheapest transconti-
mental rates that has ever been made, and
out of the 1000, 900 and over OF Christian
Endeavor mem bers from $4,000 to 10000
are expected to attend the convention
here.
There will be special decorations of tie
streets and stores with the Christian En-
deavor colors, purple and gold, during
convention week, and with the Fourth OF
July decorations, most of which will in
all proba bility not have been taken down,
the street scenes promise to be quite gor-
geous.
The Mechanics Pavilion is TO be trans
formed for the Christian Endeavor con-
vention to be held in San Francisco this
year. 1t was so decided at a meeting of
the Christian Endeavor 81 convention
committee Thursday night, when Percy q
Hamilton, the architects, were given
charge of the work.
The intention is to turn the interior of
the Pavilion into vast amphitheater
capable of seating at least 10, 900 persons.
About this part of the plan there is said
to be little or no difficulty, but studied
effort will be made to so arrange the
auditory as to insure every member OF the
audience distinctly hearing the speakers
For the acoustic arrangements 1t is pro-
posed that sub-roof some distance above
the gallery will be erected to cover the
whole amphitheater and prevent the
sound from losing itself overhead.
Another feature will be choir with
1000 seats for the singers who will partici-
pate at the various exercises. Woodward 9
Pavilion has also been engaged.
The matter of badges was discussed.
The committee desired if possible to have
the badges made in San Francisco, but so
far are unable to get satisfactory design
for manufacture here at reasonable ex-
pense. So the committee on decorations
was instructed to make further efforts in
that direction. 1t was agreed that %, 900
badges should be ordered.
The committee on music was appoin ted
as follows: J. J. Morris. W. c. Stadfeldt,
Martin Schultz, Robert Evans, Rev. John
Rea, o. M. Vesper, G.. E. Lloyd, II. K.
Snow, Robert Husband, s. H. Roberts,
William f. Hoke, c. M. T. Parker, A. T.

NHART MAY NOT CO.
Religion Troubles the United
Brotherhood of the South
Seas
A Fight Against the Possible En-
trance of the Missionary Among
Them.

The United Brotherhood of the South
Sea Islands held meeting last evening to
discuss the constitution. Several of the
mem bers expressed themselves as very
much disgusted with the treatment ac-
corded heir organization and enterprise
by the Examiner. I'VE are represented as
lot OF irresponsible and immoral men
going down to the south seas chasing
women" said one of the speakers. at is
stated that there Is not a married man in
the lot, while we all know that is not true.
This is an organization recognizing social
istIc principles and its purpose is to estab-
lish colony in good faith to work out
those principles"
The discussion of the meeting chiefly
turned upon an article in the constitution
which declared that every mem Der of the
organization had a right to and should
not be interfered with in his religious
views but that there should be no
churches built in the colony nor should
there be any preaching.
The point was made that in order to
build church land would have to be
granted and the colony could refuse to
grant the land, and that would end it.
"But what would prevent a man from
declaring his own house to be a church
and asking the colonists to come and hear
him preach? What right would we have
to prevent that?' asked ReInhart.
you would have no right, Mr.. Chair
man. can answer that, said member
quietly.
Reinhart said he was the author of this
provision of the constitution, and urged
that it be allowed 10 remain. Upon vote
being taken, however, 81 voted to strike
it out, voted in favor of it and 3deciip ed
to vote.
Reinhart said that special meeting
would be called before the colony sailed.
and unless some provision was made to
govern the colony in regard to religion he
would remain behind in San Francisco.
He wanted the missionary to be absolutely
prohibited.
