&c Announced His Discovery to the
Press in Violation of the
Sooiety's Rules.

A few months ago DR.. Fred W.
p DEyeleyn of this city attained consider
able notoriety by announcing that he had
discovered something which would eradi-
cate the desire for liquor from the system,
whether inherent or acquired.
Now, it is customary for N edical men to
announce such discoveries first 10 scien-
tihc men through scientific media. Dr.
d Eveleyn, however, first announced the
discovery OF his ''equisine,' as he term ed
il. through the columns of the daily press
The result of this was that the general
pubic became enthusiastic over the dis
coyery, while in medical circles a few
ml,Jerings and mum blings like the first
warnings OF an earthquake, were heard,
.a little or nothing was announced to
me public.
Later an anonymous writer in the Paci-
hc Medical Journal undertook to haul Dr.
J. Evelvn over the Goals for announcing
his discovery through the press. Further
than his very little showed on the sur
lace, but the secret forces were at work
uevertheless.
LAST night meeting OF the County
Medical Society was held, and although
tas body lid not make lis PROCEEDINGS

when a Story was noised about 10 the
iii CT that DR.. D'EveIgn had been ex-
pe.ed from mem bership, although the
WY and wherefore was kept secret.

IrOnwork on the Hall of Justice
to Be Rushed to a
Finish.
Members of the North End Club
Become Impatient With the
Contractors.

The continuous delay by the contractors
for the erection OF the Hall of Justice on
Kearny and Washington streets has at
last aroused the ire Of the members of
the North End Club. Heretofore John
Shirley (president of the ciub), George D.
Shad burne Zone of the originators OF this
club and other mem bers have waited
with patience on the many excuses put
forward by Bateman Bros. as 10 the cause
of their delay. President Shirley, at
the request Of the mem bers OF the club,
has invited as many of the members as
can conveniently attend before the Build
ing Committee OF the Supervisors to-day
md urge the completion of the building.
= 1t had been stated by the contractors
that one cause Of delay was chargeabie 10
the Pacific Rolling Mills for keeping the
steeiwork lack, and also that the mill
could not roll the steel plates with it's
plant, but had to send East for this ma
terial.
Inquiry at the Pacific Rolling Mills
brought 10 light the reason for a portion
of the contract going out of the State.
General Manager Patrick Nobe stated
that The plates required for the Han of
Justice could not BE- T lied at his mills-or
at any other. for tnat matter. this side OF
Chicago. Hence the " urk had 10 be done
j
the cause OF delay was no faul of his or
of the Pacific Rolling Mills here. 1t wa
that ali freight coming lhrourh New Or
leans was delayed by reason OF quarantine
laws IN that place III consequence OF The
ye low fever.
The consignment of steel plates should
have been delivered in rnis city ON the
Of S-piem Der, whereas the first carload
arrived al the mills mere OH the I'd OF the
present month.

street The extent of The burglary is not
known, for the family is at present in Sac
ramento, fact that the thieves were no
doubt aware of. The discovery OF the
burglary was made by NJ. J. Savage. who
sold the property to the present owner.
Mr.. Savage lives near by on Sixth
avenue. and on Sunday morning he no.
ticed that the west window of the Pom
eroy house was open, and knowing that
the folks we're away be made an investiga-
ton, which showed that nearly all of the
doors had been left unlocked.
Fearing that something was wrong, h.
went through the lower floor. lie found
that the lower part OF the house had been
thoroughly ransacked. All OF he drawers
in the various articles of furniture were
drawn out and tLeir coutents scattered all
over the floor.
The police went to the house, but their
search did not amount TO much more than
that of MIR. Savage. for they could not tell
what was missing. The family was noti-
fed after the house was we'll locked and
nailed up to prevent a repetition OF Sat
urday lights performance.
Two attempts were also made 10 enter
residences IN other parts OF the city Sun
day night, and from the marks OF a

q
men, three in number
One of the attempts was made at the
residence OF Gabriel A Abraham, merchant
tailor, 1146 Turk street. Two different
'iimmies" had been used TO force open
one OF the front windows. as the MARKS
are plainly visible. The 6urg rs were
scared away by passing milKman.
Abraham's house has been entered twice
within two years and ransacked, and he is
beginning 10 think it is favorite place
for burglars.
The other attempt was at the residence
OF Nine Tiouff. RI, dressmaker, 800 ylor
street. Jimmy" had also been used to
force open one OF the front winOows. The
attempt was made between and o'clock.

notified two policemen, who were on

reached the house the burglars had dis
