Bernard Thomas Clancy, the son of Terrence L. Clancy of 197 Ninth street. Benny, as he is familiarly known to his companions resolved only a few days ago to leave comfortable home, father, mother and sisters and submit his destiny to the fortunes of war. He is not yet Is years of age, and is the only son, hence it will be seen what a trial it was for his parents to part with him. However, he was resolved and determined, and even the tears of his mother could not deter him from his purpose. He declared that he was not born to commercial pursuits, as his father had intended lnm, but was made of sterner stuff, hence, on Wednes- day last. he bade good-by to his family. kissed his fearful mother and two little sisters, shook the hand of his good father and started off for Mare Island with his grip.
 He Is now one of Uncle sam's own. and only hopes to be among those who go to the Philippines in the coming expe- ditions, as one of his letters indicates.
 T. L. Clancy, the father. is the secre- tary of Division No. ?, A. O., H., and to him the boy writes: Don't be alarmed, father. l will obey your injunction to never show the white feather, and at the same time try to set an example to my colleagues of the League of the Cross.

RENOWNED MUSICIANS. The Kneisels, From the Boston Sym phony Orchestra, in the City.

One of the most renowned musical or ganizations In the country, the Kneisel quartet of Boston, arrived last evening from Denver, and Is stopping at the Pal ace It Is composed of Franz kneisel, first violin; Otto Rotli, second violin; Louis Scvenslxi, viola, and Alvin Schroe- der. cello. For thirteen years they have played with the Boston symphony orcheS- tra. and during the summer seasons give chamber concerts throughout the East and Europe.
 In London they are established favor ties, and the usually conservative English press is lavish in praise of these 1nstru- mentaIists The London Morning Post re- marked: "It would, indeed, be impossible to conceive greater perfection in the mat ter of ensemble, precision, delicacy and all the qualities requisite for the proper interpretation of chamber music.
 This year these artists concluded to come to the Pacific Coast, despite the pre- dictions of many Eastern papers that their tour would result disastrouSly. En route they played at Buffalo, St. Louis and Denver to a tremendous business, and last evening MT. Kneisel said:
 Many people tried to dissuade us from coming to the Pacific Coast; but when o,1r friends MT. and Mrs. Georg HenScnel fold us of the kindness with which they were treated we resolved to try the ven- ture. I am sure that we will have no cause for regrets.
 They will give their first recital at Sherman, Clay 6 Co.'s Hall tomorrow evening.

Suffered Untold Agonies. Limbs Swollen So Could Not
 Get About.
Ablest Physicians SignaIIy Failed. Was Absolutely Disheartened.
 Had Lost All Hope.
Gave Cuticura A Trial, Which Resulted in Absolute and
 Perfect Cure.

For ten years suffered untold agonies from that dread disease Eczema, my lower limbs most of the time being so swollen and broken out that could hardly go about. Ihad to wear slippers so that could move about at all. My brother, a physician of thirty years practice and extensive experience, had tried in vain to effect cure and signally failed. tried other physicians of splendid ability with like results, and had reached that point where I became absolutely disheartened, and Tn fact had lost all hope, when friend induced me to give CUTICURA REMEDIES a trial. l used two cakes of CUTICURA SOAP and two boxes of CUTICURA (ointment), and 1t resulted in an absolute and permanent cure. l am now perfectly cured, sound as dollar, and to Gu TICURA REMEDIES attribute my almost mir aculous cure. I refer all interested to the Postmaster of this place, any of the ministers, the prominent business men, and all of the citizens of our vicinity indiscriminately, and especially to my friend, John A. B. Shippey. attorney at law, who persuaded me to give CUTICURA REMEDIES trial.

Others thought that more interest would be awakened in the events if some law could be framed which would keep all who are not strictly local men out of the local races The matter was finally referred to the road racing committee, with instructions to draw up rules relating to this matter and present them to the next meeting of the board.
