Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, Of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years / have been
sufferer from a serofulous affection OF
the glands OF my neck, and all efforts
of phvsicians in Washington, ID. e,
Springfield, H., and s.. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. Alter SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preJu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before 1 had used one bot
lie the enlargement began TO disappear,
and now il is entirely gore, though | am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. IS the only
real blood remedy; it gete at the root oil
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.

THOSE who wish TO employ the services
of Detective, and who is known as to his
secrecy and his ability and his success in
business for the past twenty years, and who
works for the interest of his clients, will
find il to their advantage to place their
business in Mr.. A. K. Lucas hands. whose
office is in the Parrott Bldg. lover the EN-
porium) S25- 855 Market ST., San Francisco.
Mr.. Lucas does not publish his business
in the newspapers, nor does he look after
newspaper notorieiy in giving his secret
work to the press as he deems il detri-
ment to any Detective to give out any of
the secrets of his clients, being immaterial
to the public, unless the case is brought out
in the courts; and numerous of his cases,
which has been handled by him, being
brought to a successful termination, moth
ing has been heard of them, thereby avoid
ing a trial by the courts.
We would recommend Mr.. Lucas to any
one who is DESTROYS of having secret work
done, and are satisfied that if anyone EN-
ploys him, they will not have any reason
to regret it. having handled some of the
most difficult cases, both civil and criminal
which has ever been known on this coast
for banks and private parties.
Mr.. Lucas has competent and reliable
agents throughout the United States and
Canada, which enables him to transa't
1 business for his clients at reasonable rate
! thereby saving travelling expenses.

on donkey, the rest of the guests rid
ing similar animals. In the only car
rage rode the bride-groom's mother,
who was only two years older than his
wife. Great amusement was caused by

TO A SKELETON.

The following verses were published
anonymously in the London Morning
Chronicle in 1877. Notwithstanding the
offer Of reward Of 6fty guineas. the au-
thor's name has remained a secret until
nearly sixty years had passed, when il
was learned that tAe lines were written
b. Robert Philip. Of Gormyre Cottage.
Scotland. Toward the end Of the year
1895 he wrote the verses while watching
for body snatchers in the parish church
yard Of Torphichen, where. during the
repairing Of the church, the unearthing Of
skeleton suggested the subject. The
verses were shown to DIR. John Afford,
who procured a copy, and either by acct
dent or intention dropped 4 copy in the
Royal College Of Surgeons, where they
were found)
Behold this ruinl Twas a skull
Once Of ethereal spirit full:
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot!
I Nor love, nor joy, nor hope, nor fear
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this moldering canopy
/ Once shone the bright and busy eye.
But start not at the dismal void!
If social love that eye employed,
If with no laE'ess fire il cleaned,
But. through the dews of kindness beam
ed,
That eye shall be forever bright,
When stars and suns are sunk ia night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue.
If falsehood's honey IL disdained,
And where it could not praise wa
chained,
IL bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail TO them;
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that waits on wealth or fame
I Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the paths of duty trod?
IL from the bowers of ease they fed
E To seek affections humble shed;
If grandeur's guilty bride they spurned,
And home to virtues cot returned.
These feet with angels wings shall vie
And tread the palace of the sky.

A student of Solomon.

Robert Ferguson, the unhappy Scot
fish poet 50 greatly admired by Burns,
was a delicate child, and, perhaps for
that reason, very fond of books. His
chief delight was to read the Bible.
and especially the Proverbs of Solo
mon. This early study caused him to
take what he read very seriously to
heart. One day little Bob ran into his
mothers room, and with tears in his
ewes cried out to her to whip him. She
asked him what was wrong, and to her
amazement, he replied with the utmost
earnestness: "Oh, mother he that
spareth the rod hateth his son.

One of the most magnificent affairs in
honor of debutante was the clnner- dane e
given by Mis-. Henry T. Scott last even
ing, complimentary TO Miss Edna Hop
kins, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. w.
Hopkins.
The elegant home was bright and gay
with a tasteful arrangement OF sweet

gave a decided holiday atmosphere 10 the
scene.
Dinner was served at 1880 P. NJ. Covers
were laid for eighteen. Alter dinner

joined in the festivities.
On Wednesday evening Mrs. Scott will

When she arrived at the house she was
surprised to find that the expressman had
not been there with the furniture. Think

in vain. About 9 o'clock she took her
children and went to the prison. She
refused to give either her old or new adj

Officer Brophy Arrests the Woman
and Her Male Consort in
Lodging-HOuse.

Mrs. A. g. Hughes, rather attractive
young woman. was arrested at an early
hour yesterday morning and charged
with cruelty to her 18-months-old girl.
L. S. Wynne, a conductor on the Hayes
street line, was arrested with her and
booked for the same offence. The chilo
was turned over to Matron Gilmore.
Mrs. Hughes arrived In the city several
weeks ago from Santa Barbara, where her
husband is engaged in business as a shoe
maker. Sne rented a room in a lod ging
house at 203A Powell street. intending 10
remain for a short time and then return
to her home.
The woman's conduct became so no.
torious that one of the inmates called Po-
lice Officer Brophy's attention to II, and
be determined to make an investigation.
Several nights ago he went to the woman's
room and on opening the door be discov-
cred TWO men lying on a bed smoking
opium. Mrs. Hughes infant was between
them, her little fin ers clutching an opium
bowl.
The child was apparently unconscious
from the effects OF IL Ghaling the fumes of
the drug, and it was with difficulty that
she was aroused.
Mrs. Hughes was lying on the floor half

Cruelty to Children, and 1t was decided 10
arrest the woman.
Shortly after clock yesterday morn

Policeman Brophy visited woman's
room ard found her and Wynns asleep.
They were awakened and taken TO the
City Prison along with tho woman's in-
fant.

The woman" remarked Brophy after Mrs.
Hughes and Wynne had been locked up,
Il determined to make thorough inves-
tigation.
About week ago found Mrs Hughes
walking along O'Farreli street accosting
men who were strangers to her. placed
her under arrest and took her before Lieu
tenant Birdsall. She promised to return
to her hu> band the next day and on that
condition Birdsall allowed her 10 90.
"a short time afterward a woman ap-
preached me while l was patrolling my
beat. and asked me to interfere to save
the child. She told me of the disgraCeful
conduct of Mrs. Hughes and two male
companions. Convinced that her story
was true. | determined to arrest both the
woman and her consort."
The baby is unusually bright for her
age, but shows unmistaka able evidence of
being neg!ec ed.
Wynne and Mrs. Hughes appeared in
Judge Joachimsens court yester !ay
morning. The woman carried her baby
! in her arms. After hearing the testimony
of McMurray and Brophy the Judge
talked 10 Mrs. Hughes and she promised
10 return TO Santa Bar bara with her ba By.

HoyJ has the variety instinct in huge

often as he can m axe ii a diversion, but
lie never ranks his "speciaIist" above

and in parts merely the cue for vaude-

there is some showing of unity and pur-
pose IN il hat make you conscious of an
author ana a deliberate dramatic inten-
ton.
l couldn't say how many times l saw
"a MilE.white Flag" wien it played

at the least it was half dozen.
and each time 1 found some new
satiric absurdity 10 admire. Last night,
in spite OF new cast and some new
songs, It was the same good old show
TOR the traditions of hs roles have been
lived up to saCredly " the new people
and still it was almost a novelty for me,
ana better than most novelties, inasmuch
as / had no an xiety as to how soon the
good moments would be replaced by bad
ones.
l Will not admit that there is any one
who does not know the story and motive
of "a Milk-white Flag" As a satire on
The militia, with sub-satiric trimmings on

ciated with the laughter of a whole ma
ton. All that really concerns us at this
time OF day is the manner of the produc-
tion, watch is not so good as the original
in points of ensem bic singing and pretty
girls and better in the playing of some of
the parts. A few of the men are heavy,
but the most are easy and of affable
action.
The notable individual success of last
night was made by Miss Marie Marble,
who projected the Orphan in summer
chemise and lon., low psntaIettes, like
grandma used 10 make. Miss Marble
acted up TO this daring costume with
diabolic skill, and sang the songs that
went with the scene in the second act
with gingery enterprise.
Miss Lansing Rowan was also above last

She was not neeulessIy vulgar in the
smuggling episode.
All in all, "a Milk-white: Flag" easily
bears second inspection and should be a
magnetic attraction for the holiday weeks.
