Tile readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, aud that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting

Goldbug Financiering.

During the five years previous to 1892,
the national debt was reduced from
81, I46, Ola, 100, to $5S5, $50, which
made an annual average yearly reduction
of SIP, IeS,974. If the debt had been paid
at the same rate for the FIVE years from
1892 to 1897, it would have been reduced
on the Ist day Of July last to $24, o44, 500,
and it would have been altogether wiped
out more than six month ago. The
change Of policy occurred at the Cleve-
land-Republican extra session of 1898, at
which time all laws recognizing silver as
money metal were wiped from the
statute book, and since which time there
has been no new money of either silver
or paper put in circulation, and the
bonded Cebt has been increased on
account of contraction of the circulating
medium over $500, 600, 900 after deducting
the $50 900, 900 paid off by the Union
Pacific railroad, and is now, aud was on
the Ist of July last, $S47, 365, I3o.
The Republican gold bond revenue bill
proposes to add 5000, 900, 900 more to the
national debt If this can be done with
out the slightest excuse Or necessity for
it, bonded slavery will have made great
progress by reason of the war with Spain.
The reasons why the bondholders and
gold monometallists want both bonds
and contraction are (D bonds are safe in
vcstments, and (2) contraction enhances
the purchasing power of money and bonds
which are money futures -.SiiOer Knight.

to Animals. Secretary Holbrook has asked the jury to investigate the man. agement of the pound during the past year. That will make public the req sons why the Board of Supervisors busted, the society from the manage ment of the institution in May last and placed Osborn in charge, and also why in November last the conduct of the place was taken from Osborn and given to the society again, and also why Osborn was again made pound master by the Board of Supervisors at their meeting on Monday last
 It will be shown that while Osborn and the Board of Supervisors were in charge of the institution that the pound was used as political machine whereby the friends of the Supervisors benefited while others who were not so fortunate as to have a Supervisor for a friend were compelled to pay a rev. enue to the political friends of the City Fathers. The city's streets were over run with mangy CUTS and worthless animals, while good and valuable dogs and other animals were taken to the improvised pound and their owners

NO REBATE FOR
 MAYOR PHELAN Judgment Rendered Against Him in the Supreme
 Court. Interesting Case Which Grew Out of the Widening of Dupont
 Street.

The suit of Mayor James D. Phelan to recover a rebate on taxes paid by him under protest was yesterday decided against him in the Supreme Court. The case Is of long standing. and grew out of the widening of Dupont street some years ago.
 Under an act of the Legislature passed in 1876 the authorities of the city and county of San Francisco were given power to make Improvement on Dupont street-principally that of widening the street. A commission was appointed to estimate the benefits and damages, and it was found that the damages amounted to $9l4 ,941. To meet this expense. bonds were issued, payable Tn twenty years. and the property benefited by the widening was assessed to pay the bonds and inter est. James D. Phelan refused to pay the tax upon the Phelan block. corner of Market and O'Farrell streets. and the Tax Collector threatened to sell the premises to pay the taxes-s69 921 IS. MT. Phelan protested against the payment and brought suit for rebate, alleging that bonds should have been issued In the amount of not over s915.O00. the amount of the damage. and that, therefore, there was an overissuance of $S5 900. He further claimed the illegality of the act on ac count of the Tax Collector neglecting to levy upon all of the benefited property. The Superior Court decided against him and in favor of the city and county. Tie Supreme Court has affirmed that judg- ment. It says:
 It was expressly held in Easterbrook San Francisco. A Pacific Reporter, 500. and again in Davis vs San Francisco. Ills Cal 6S, that the city and county of San Francisco cannot be compelled by virtue of the provisions of sec tion 3S1s of the Political Code to refund any of the taxes paid under protest for the i'm provement of Dupont street.
 If pays illegal demand with full knowledge of its illegalty his protest does not take from the payment its voluntary character, unless the payment Is necessary In order to protect his person property. The payment of tax to prevent threatened sale of real estate is not compulsory, unless the convey by the officer will have the effect to de- prive the owner of some defense to the tax or throw upon him the burden of showing It's ille- gality.
 The plaintiffs obligation to pay the tax Is not affected by the omission of the Tax Col lector to enforce it's collection against other property. If the tax against that property is not collected the bondholders may have some reason to complain. but the burden upon the land of the plaintiff Is neither increased nor diminished by reason of such omission.

FATE OF A BAD
 BOLD BURGLAR Only Escaped by the Chance of Not Being There to
 Be Caught.
The Alarm Which Reused Henry Street and Scared Four w omen
 to State of Panic.

There are many people who do not know that there Is a Henry street Tn this city, but there Is. and Henry street hav- ing had burglar scare, comes forward for a general recognition. Not that there was a burglar; to enjoy really first class burglar scare does not require the presence of a burglar, and an affair of this sort Is really rounded out to com pletion more satisfactorily when the burg lar will stay away. The actual presence of a burglar Is distasteful to persons Of refinement, however much they might ap- preciate and revel in the thrills Of scare.
 On the street mentioned, at No. n. lives Mrs. Bamburg. She once had visit timid To her the footfall of a passer-by Is a menace, and in the rattling of loose shingle she discerns the distressing cer- tanty of being robbed s snor Mrs ahoTe side Mrs. Garrison and her daughter Alma Mrs Bamburg also has a daugh-- ter whose title Is Birdie Tuesday night so did the lodgers upstairs. In a little while the first pair returned and soon Birdie was asleep. The mother, with tened for the footfall of the burglar. She thought she heard 1t. This is the reason Henry street turned out in body to say the d b9ap hm and W the Bamburg shouts of fire murder, police" added sounding volume and an impressive emphasis.
 No burglar venturing to come forth ana be killed young man said he would goto the back porch and there make such g racket that the burglar would be forced to flee. and would of necessity flee into the arms of the waiting community. The young man went and raised racket which lived up to the terms of the con tract; but the burglar was coy. Not being there he could not rush out to be cap- tured The burglar must be held blame less for this apparent derelction. But somebody did come. The dodgers put their heads from the upper windows and later themselves from the door. and did what they could to augment the loud alarum. But Mrs. Garrison, being both deaf and blind however, could not readily com prehend the situation.
 The Garrisons were to blame. They had come home without the Bamburgs know ing it, and 1t was the innocent tread of the pair which had sent the Bamburgs into a panic so pronounced as to infect the whole neighborhood. Yet none would snatch laurel from the young man. To make so much noise as to scare a deaf woman is no small feat.
 The patrol wagon came laundering up. Then 1t went laundering away again. Henry street went to bed, as Is there con- stdered meet and the stone-deaf lady did not hear another sound. But everybody comedies that there might have been a burglar there.

AS Mr.. Files was not quite clever

in success, he made unremitting and
universal suspicion a substitute. He
had managed to accumulate fair share
of property, but not enough to compen-
safe for disliking so many people and
being disliked by them. He had been
discussing some matters of business
with a commercial acquaintance and
had need of certain documents. He rang

"Tell Spriggs to come here, - said
Mr.. Files, and the boy hurried as if he
feared his employer would change his
mind and cut off escape. Mr.. Spriggs
appeared, young man with a vacant
eye and double chin. He gazed list
lessly at the selling while Mr.. Files in
structed him to get a key from one
man, tin box from another and some
stationery from third. Spriggs had
difficulty in catching the names of the
men. and at last had to have them writ

Different Reasons.

In a little New Hampshire village
there lives an old lady who has such a
sweet spirit of kindliness toward all the
world that she is unable to comprehend
the entire lack of that spirit in some
other people.
Not long ago one of her granddaugh-
tiers, gay young city girl, was paying
her visit and one day told her of a
ragged and intoxicated man whom she
had seen on the street just before leav-
ing home.
81 can bear to pass man like that, ~
she said vehemently at the end of her
story.
81 know just how tits, DEAR said
the old lady, laying one of her soft,
wrinkled hands on the girls head. SIT
does seem as if you'd got to stop and
speak with the poor creatures just a
minute, doesn't it? never can bear to
pass 'em by without word 1t doesn't

The gay little granddaughter was
quite disturbed by this misinterpreta-
ton of her words, but she did not un-
deceive her grandmother as to her mean
ing. For some reason she felt ashamed.
