INRALING INSECTS,
Not Careless but Needless Thing tC
Do-HOw to Avoid It

Not Careless but Needless Thing to
Do-HOw to Avoid 1t.
Hundreds OF poisonous insects called
germs" are being drawn into the BODY
with every breath. These small creatures
at once begin to live upon the body and
cause what is known as disease They
must be driven out. How much better 1t
is though to kill these poisonous germs as
soon as they come. And yet there is only
one thing will do this, and that is a pure
stlmuiant, preferably whiskey.
Prof. Austin Flint of Bellevue College
SAYS: The judicious use of alcoholic
stlmulants is one of the striking charac-
terlstlcs of progress In the practice of med
lcne during the last half century"
Prof. Henry Mott, Ph. D.. +. .C.S., says

Dutfy's pure malt whlskey tree from adu!-

The wel-known DR.. R. W. Hutchinson
OF New York says: II highly recommend
Dutfy's pure malt whiskey and prescribe

Law Against the Sale of Adul-
terated Goods.

The Manufacturers and Producers As
sociation is receiving a large number of
letters from various parts of the State in
response to communication sent 10 dele

the central bodv should invite the active
co-operation of boards OF trade. health
boards, farmers clubs and kindred organi-
cations throughout the State to suppress
the sale of adulterated food products.
The letters now coming in indicate that
the people of the Slate agree that the work
of protecting the citizens OF California
from injurious adulteraIions as we'll as
preserving the good name of the food
products of the State by preventing the
exportation OF inferior ana adulierated
goods under standard brands should be

nMISS FRISCO
COMES TO TOWN
The New Extravaganza
Catches On at the
Tivoli.
Production of "The House on
the Marsh" at the
Grand.
''The First Born" Still at the Alcfzar.
Johnson and Lee Do Good Work
at the Or pheum.

The Tivoli held the mirror up to nature
last night IN "Miss Frisco" and showed
San Franciscans a picture of their own
town and some well-known citizens who
! live and move and have their being
therein. 1t was a whimslcaiiy distorted
mirror, although not so distorted but that
the audience delightedly recognized
every one down to the policeman who so
gallantly plots unprotected ladies across
the street in the neighborhood of news
paper row.
The libretto of miss Frisco is by Jo-
seph B. Cassell. young San Francisco
newspaper man, who has shown his fami-
l!srity with current and past events by the
way in which he has made his book briste
with local aIlusions. The audience re-
ceived all these illusions with many out
ward and visible signs of satisfaction. A
! good deal of the music in the piece is COM
| posed of new songs imported from the
! East, but some of the lyrics, notably
| There Is No Other Place Like Frisco"
were written by the author of the book,
and he has succeeded in making them
/ rhyme with a clever jingle worthy of
! W. 5. Gilbert.
The plot of Miss Frisco" tells how
! Francisco Fogg Miss FrIsco( a young
! county belle, goes out to do the town, in
company with her cousin, Ned Wean-
away and Emperor" Norton a cele-
brated character of early days, who has
stepped down from his frame, where he
| has hung for nearly twenty years in the
drawing-room OF Francisco's "popper."
These characters visit number of we'll
known resorts, including the Chutes the
Cliff House, Golden Gate Hall, ETC., ard
meet with many adventures by the way.
| The audience seemed 10 take great salts
faction in recognizing the familiar
scenery.
Miss Myra Morrella gave a clever in
terpre alton to the role of Miss Francisco
! FOgg, and sang her many lyrics with good
effect. Miss Josie Intropiui was amusing
| as Francisca's mother, a very uD-to-Gate
! lady, who treated her long-suffering huS-
! band in an exceedingly violent and brutal
manner. Thomas c. Leary, who made
! his temperance with the Tivoli com pany,
made quite hit as the henpecked spouse
of Mrs. Fogg. His song There Is No
Other Place Like Frisco" was received
with tumultuous applause.
Ferris Hartman and Maurice Darcy
added a good deal to the amusement Of
the evening as two Chinatown guides
who made a specially of kidnaping So
clety people. For one of his encores Hart
man recIted tragic piece with such emo
tional effect that his warmest admirers
were astonished at his hitherto unSus-
pected powers OF tragedy. Eivia Crox
Seabrook portrayed a gay grass wido W in
her usual dashing style. and John J. Raj
fael, who played Ned Weanaway, had the
prettlest music IN the piece to sing.
The choruses were good, particularly
the chorus of Exempt Fremen.
Miss Frisco" was warmly received by
a big audience. and altogether may be
said TO have made hit.

She Smote Keeper Hall
Savagely on Cheek
and Temple.
Dashed a Cowhide From HIS
Hands and Mauled His
Best Hat.
Narrow Escape of the Man-The
Audi nee of the 0Ip1eum
Alarmed.

The lioness belonging to Adgie's trained
troupe at the Orpheum got savage last
night and clawed Frank Hail in manner
he is not likely to forget in a hurry.
When anything of the feminine gender
gets jealous it is always safe to count on
trouble. During the whole performance
last evening the lioness was nasty. She
snapped a: the fair Adgie every time she
bestowed a caress on either the lion or the
cub. She sulked in corner, objected to
doing her turn" in the performance and
toward the end her evident i'll temper
made the audience rather uneasy 1t
was noticed that AdCie got out of the
cage rather in a hurry, but if she was at
all frightened she did not show it, but
smilingly bowed herself off the stage
Then the curtain fell and the trouble
began.
Mr.. Hall, the keeper and trainer of the
animals, entered the cage with a stout
whip to thrash the beast for her display
of ugllness. But the lioness was too
quick for him and snatched the cowhide
out OF his hand before ne could begin.
1he man, thus rendered helpless and
entirely at her mercy, backed 10 the door
of the cage, but before he cou be ex-
tricated the brute clawed his face, in
flicting three bad wounds, one on the
forehead, one over the temple and one on
the cheek. All three scratches penetrated
to the bone. DR.. Happersberger was
hastily summoned and sewed the wounds
up.
During the whole operation the man
never fllnched, but his lace grew white as
death. Afterward he remarked: "One
must expect these little accidents in this
business" Then he smiled a sorry smile.
The first thing be said alter he was dragged
out OF the cage was: II don't mind the
scratches so much, but look at my hatv
The doctor said Mr.. Hall would feel the
effects more to-day than he did last night
The wounds are not dangerous.
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-08
The Orpheum.

The performance at the Orpheum last night
was good one. In fact IL is the best bill
right through that the Orpheum has presented
for some time. Jules and Ella Garrison did
clever travesty on Francis Powers novel Chi
nese play, "The First Born" The Russell
brothers i'll their act entitled "The Irish Ser
want Girls" made decided hit The bur
lesque on sarah BernhArdt was especially good.
Morton and Elliott did an excellent musical
act, and the Vaidis twin sisters repeated the
success they made here some months ago in
the me act
The hit of the performance, however, was
made by Johnson and Deanin, "Colored Aris-
tocracy," who did one OF the neatest and best
turns ever seen in tn cir line. Miss Dean is an
extraordinarily clever dancer, and the same
may be said of Nj. Johnson.
Mr.. Carter, Adgle and her lions, and the rest
OF the bill made heir customary hits.

About the "Chain Business"

We have several times received letters
chain, 10y enclosing a sum of money to
somebody and also making three copies OF
the letter and mailing them to three OF
our friends. Now we have this to say
about such ''chains.'' We don't intend
to be OF make a link in any OF them. II
we eau we will help every good cause that
appeals to us, but We will not help it in
that way. We will not even ask or adj
wise anybody else to help in that way.
We advise everybody who has money to
raise to take some less pestilent, more
sensible way to raise it. Among our rea-
sons for not favoring the ''chain'' idea is
the fact that it is too wasteful. II the
chain is carried out according to the
plan, No. writing to three persons, each
of the three writing to three more, each
of these writing to three more, and SO On
up to No. 20, as proposed in case which
recently came to our notice, the number
of people required to complete the chain
would be only 1, 743, 7S9, ISL, several times
the present population of the earth. OF
CAOoO coo3 c1 III NOulu pay ClSHU CculS
postage each which would amount to the
snug little sum of s31, O65, 1858. So and this
added to the two cents each paid for post
age by the remaining 1, 625, $40, S47 would
bring the postage account up to S54, 316,
565. 50!
Another argument against the chain
business is the fact that fifty per cent. of
the whole amount involved is wasted. To
get dime from me the promoters of the
chain ask me to furnish stationery for
four letters, to spend at least half dol
lars worth of time in writing, and to pay
out eight cents in cash for postage! The
postage and stationery amount to at least
as much as the contribution they ask. 1t
would seem that fifty per cent. is a pref
ty large percentage for collection. The
whole scheme is absurdly impracticable
though, of course, it may bring in some
money. The figures we have given look
absurdly large, but any one who can null
tply and add can easily verify them.
Just begin with 1 and multiply by 3, u.s.
ing the product of each operation as a
multiplicand for the next, repeating the
process nineteen times, and then adding
all the products and it will be seen that
our figures are correct. And anybody
can see that every one who contributes a
dime pays another for postage and sta
tionery. Mountain Echo, Keyser, West

The Old and the New.

1--WE used to have old-fashioned things
like homny and greens,
We used to have just common soup, III ade
out of pork and beans:
But now it's bouillon, consomme and things
made from a book,
And pot au feu and juIienne, since my
daughters learned to cook
We used to have piece of beef-just ordi
nary meat,
And picked pigs feet, sparerjbs, too, and
other things to eat;
While now it's tilet and raguut, and leg OF
mutton praised,
And macaroni au gratin, and sleeps head
Hollandaised.
The good old things have passed away, in
silent, sad retreat;
We've lots of highfalutin' things, but moth
ing much to eat.
And while | never say a word and always
pleasant look,
You bet I've had dyspepsia since my daugh-
ter's learned to cook.

The Street Corner Loafer.

1t is not necessary for men to be satisfac :
tory to their families and to society, but
they must also be sat isfactory to the loaf
En- From standing on the street corners
year in and year out, the loafer knows
every one in town, including women and
children. He knows family skeleton Cos
sip enough to fill dozen volumes, and
makes the most daring statements on the
the least provocation. He is always look
ing for chance to see corruption in poll
tics or city affairs, OF improperly in peo-
pies actions. The slightest cause will
put his imagination to working on big
piece OF gossip, and he is not in the least
afraid to talk. He first talks to the other
loafers, knowing he will have sympathe-
tic audience, and the matter is soon a sub
Ject OF comment on every corner, and then
it spreads. Some of the loafers occupy
the street corners all day, but most of
them like variety, and, and after hearing
all the gossip on the streets, repair to a
shoe shop or other suitable place, and ex-
change views on great national problems.
Nearly all the cruel, untruthful stories
which gain circulation are started by
loalers Some of these fellows are natu-
rally bright, and would do we'll if they
NAH"N't oNAN WV
They are almost invariably supported by
industrious women folks, their sons being
loafers, too. A loafer seldom agree with
his wife on religion. He roasts the
preachers, particularly the one at the
church where his wife belongs. In fact,
he fuses around the house good deal,
things being unsatisfactory in one way
and another. There probably never was
loafer who did not rail at those who
We're doing well. He talks as if there are
two entirely different classes of people ;
one which enjoys all the privileges of the
| land, and the poorer people, VINO are
''slaves." Loafers who are bright enough
become leaders; there is not the slightest
| doubt that many leaders in politics are
nothing more than smart loafers The
best specimen of the loafer is found in
the smaller towns; in the cities, they are
arrested as Migrants, but in smaller towns,
they claim to be as good as anybody, and
often work the bluff, which, by the way,
is about the only work they ever do. The
real loafer claims to have some sort of
business, or trade, which gives him an
excuse for talking about hard times. AS
rule, also, the loafer is the first man
down town in the morning, where he
stands around, and talks about the lazy
men who sleep until eight o'clock; the
loafer usually goes to bed at nine O clock,
and gets up very early. If you imagine
that the loafer does not amount to any
thing, you are very much mistaken. He
makes great deal of public sentiment,
and while you may not know him, he
knows you. In big city, the loafer joins
hod carriers union, or something of the
kind, and goes on a strike, and marches
in professions, but in smaller towns he
devotes his entire time to public affairs
and gossip, his women folks or his kin
making the living, and the loafer's views
must be met in everything that is done.
Otherwise he will oppose it, and invent
stories Atchison, Kansas, Globe.

A Lecture by E. o. Thorndike.

Our old friend and former fellow-citizen,
Mr.. e. o. Thorndike, as we learn from the
Hartman, Tenn, Advance of April Both
has made most successful debut in the
lecture field and won the title OF Professor.
The Advance says:
Prof. Thorndike's lecture at Grace Church
other" entertaining lecturers besides those
The attendance was not large, owing to
the showers, but as The Advance predicted
yesterday, those who missed it were the
losers. The speaker was introduced by Mr..
Walter q. Hartman in few well chosen
words Mr.. Thorndike began at the pier of
the Atlantic liner in New York, graphically
describing the pleasures and "retchedness''
of an ocean voyage. He spoke of the beauti-
full scenes between Liverpool and London,
and of the manifold attractions in the latter
city for the sight-seer Acknowledging that
he had no taste or appreciation for art or
architecture-a bold thing for person in
these days of art affectation-he gave word
pictures of street and country scenes which
were very pleasing. The experiences of
members of his party with the French and
German tongues were very amusing, and
the whole story, told conversationally with
out rhetorical effort, held the attention of
his hearers so closely that they regretted
his closing so soon. The audience showed
its appreciation by liberal applause, and we
have no doubt that Mr.. Thorndike will be
urged at some future time to continue his
foreign sketches.
