CAMP MERRITT IS
 IN BAD CONDITION
DECLARED A PUBLIC NUISANCE
 BY THE HEALTH BOARD.
Health Officer Gallwey Says That There Is Great Danger of Its Spreading Infectious
 Diseases.

Camp Merritt has been condemned as
 a nuisance by the Board of Health. This
 action was taken yesterday after a re-
 port prepared by Health Officer Gallwey
 had been read to the members of the
 board. It was conclusively shown by the
 report that the camp was in poor sanf-
 tary condition, and that unless 1t was
 removed there was danger of the spread
 of infectious diseases. The United States
 Government officials arrived at the same
 conclusion a few days ago. and steps
 were at once taken to remove the volun-
 teer soldiers to the Presidio. pr. Gall- wey was instructed to notify the owners of the property now occupied by the troops to abate the nuisance as soon as
 the soldiers leave the camp.
 Dr. G. E. Sussdorff, Resident Physician of the City and County Hospital, filed
 report, asking that an isolated one-story ward of twelve rooms be built on the hos pital grounds to accommodate those sui fering from measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever and other contagious diseases. The
 ward can be constructed for S120O. and it is badly needed, as at present there is no
 provision made for the accommodation Of such cases.
 Complaint was made that insane pa tients were being sent from the Receiy- ing Hospital to the City and County Hos pital, and Secretary Godchaux was in Structed to noufy the proper oIHclalS thdl the only place for insane patients was in the insane ward attached to the RecelV- l ing Hospital.

THE FIRST PILOT.

H. S. Stearns of Pawtucket, R. l., the first pilot of a ferry boat across San Franciso Bay, arrived from the East yes- terday. With but one exception this is the first visit that MT. Stearns has made to this coast since he left here in 1854
 In 1850, when the tide of immigration moved westward, Stearns came to this coast with the machinery necessary to equip steam laundry. His route of travel was over the isthmus and the ma- chinery was packed over the twenty miles from Aspinwan to Panama on the backs Of mules.
 Once arrived in this city he engaged in a number of enterprises. Land was very cheap and he bought lots in the present location of Sansome street. A few years after this he sold his property for half interest in the Hector a steamboat which was built to ply between San Fran cisco and a point far up the San Andreas Creek. 4 very much scattered popula- ton in the vicinity of Oakland wished him to stop at that place and make 1t a station along his line of travel, but he re- fused Large tracts of land were offered him if he would do this. but at that time If seemed a useless and foolish thing to accept the offer, considering the scar city of settlers where the city of Oakland now stands.
 Soon after he had established his ferry line competition sprang up and Stearns was forced to the wall. He then moved to the East, where he has been engaged in cotton manufacturing.

EASY CAPTURE PROBABLE
SHOW OF FORGE ALL THAT
 MAY BE NECESSARY.
Moral Effect of Germany's Naval Display in the Philippines Encouraging to the City's
 Defenders.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. C., July 2o-Ac- cording to advices brought by the En- press of India from Hongkong, the nila is ready to surrender. Not that the Archbishop and captain general are going to voluntarily capitulate be- fore they are compelled to do so, but that the backbone of resistance is un- questionably broken, and upon 8 real show of force and intention to bom- bard the town if the officials do not give in, the Spaniards will haul down the Spanish flag. Limitations to this effect are received from many sources.
 The correspondent of the Hongkong Press, writing under date of June 23, says the chief subject of discussion in Manila, in Cavite and in the American fleet is the meaning of the presence of five German men-of-war and one transport or supply vessel in port. I have just interviewed leading Eng lishman here on the subject. He un- hesitatingly informed me that all for eigners in Manila, as well as Spaniards, regard 1t as a remarkable demonstra- ton.
 T am sure," he continued. that the Spaniards have received encourage ment from such naval display. A Spaniard to-day told me that the com ing of a large German squadron was construed by him and leading Spanish officials as a direct act of friendly in- terest and to warn the Yankees that they could not go too far. Now. when a Spaniard of influence, as this man was, will talk like that l think 1t is high time to ascertain what the Ger mans mean by appearing here in such force"
 T am familiar" my informant con- tinued, with all the German interests in Manila, and my relations with the Germans are very agreeable, and am positive that one German cruiser would be fully able to protect them to every extent they required"
 Further details of the great fight of May filter through some high officials of Manila as time passes. It now ap- pears, according to authentic informa- tion in the hands of Consul Wildman, that out of 4s1 men on the Reina Chris tina, 364 were killed; only 12I left the ship. An officer who was aboard and is now in prison tells me that one could not step a foot in any direction on her decks without coming into con- tact with pieces of flesh of dead bodies. Such was the power Of the Amer ican guns and the skill of the Ameri- can gunners.
 Manila papers continue to publish rnonstrous stories about the Americans and do not hesitate to employ the most contemptuous epithets, all of which are whetting the appetites of the Ameri- cans to get even with them for un- called-for insults.
 More seizures of arms are reported from Hongkong. It Is suspected that the arms and ammunition were to be shipped to the Philippine insurgents. The seizure consist of half a million rounds of Mauser ammunition, POS breech-loading Mauser rifles and 112 muzzle-loading Enfield rifles.

SHE PREPARES TO
 ANSWER HER DAUGHTER
PRELIMINARIES IN THE BALD
 VINEYARD SUIT.
In Justice to Her Other Children the Mother Decides to Fight the Legal Battle to the Bitter
 End.

Within ten days. the limitation allowed by law Mrs. Veronica C. Baird will file her answer to the suit brought by her daughter, Marie Baldwin, wife of Barry Baldwin Jr., praying for the return of stocks valued at S4300o.
 The suit while it came as a surprise to the members of the Baird family, was not altogether unexpected. Mrs. Baldwin had freely discussed the suit with her brother, John R. Baird. No later than Tuesday afternoon she promised to delay the matter, but nevertheless with or without her knowledge the suit was filed that very afternoon.
 4 peaceful arrangement, provided such a thing had been possible, would have pleased Mrs. Baird, who feels keenly the notoriety thrust upon her. Now, how ever, there is no chance of compromise, Mrs. Baird deciding that in justice to her self and her other children the suit must be fought to the finish.
 Mrs. Baird smarts keenly under the charge brought by her daughter, in which she alleges that her mother advised her to cast off and abandon her husband.
 John R. Baird, in his mothers name took special exception to that clause of the complaint, and stated that although his mother had never become reconciled to Marie's marriage to young Baldwin still she would never advocate measures that might prove harmful to her daugh- ter's happiness.
 Marie lived with us for many months after her marriage MT. Baird explained, "and although my mother never saw her husband, MT. Baldwin visited his wife continually. Their child was born in our home, and up to few days ago Marie was a constant visitor at the house. She is very fitful girl,'' MT. Baird continued "and I suppose that the suit was filed by her while in one of her capricious moods !"
 John Baird attains his majority within three days, and to show his unbounded confidence in his mother he proposes to turn over his inheritance to her for safe keeping.

BOLDLY WINKED
 AT HIS HONOR
THE GRAVE ERROR COMMITTED
 BY PRETTY MRS. CARSON.
She Pleaded With Her Eyes, but Stern Judge Conlan Says She
 Must Be Punished.

comedy little woman with black hair and a hesitating. eye had the temerity to attempt to make a mash" on Judge Con- Ian yesterday, and now she is sorry that she did it.
 She is Mrs. Nellie Carlson, the wife of longshoreman living on Langton street. and she was charged by her husband with being common drunk" She Is the mother of five children, the youngest be- ing only eight months old.
 The case came up for hearing yester- day morning, and while her husband was testifying Mrs. Carlson took seat close beside him. The Judge wheeled rounu on his chair and faced husband and wife. Carlson testified that his wife had been a slave to drink for four or five years and neglected her children.
 Mrs. Carlson deliberately winked at the Judge, to the amusement of those who witnessed it. The Judge was amazed, but thinking the wink might be intended for some one else he looked around. There was no one behind him, and as he again faced Mrs. Carlson she again de- liberately winked her eye and said in a loud whisper: Don't believe him, Judge dear"
 The Judges brow flushed with anger, and as he glanced around and saw the amused smiles on the faces of those near Mrs. Carlson he sternly said: Take that
  remand her until tomorrow without bail. when she will appear for sentence"
 The Judge had not recovered from the shock to his dignity after the court ad- journed. ''The impertinence of the woman" he said, ito deliberately wink at me twice. Such a thing never occurred to me before in my court. I will teach her a lesson tomorrow morning. I could not believe my eyes at first, but when she repeated the wink there was no mis- taking that she meant me-"
 Mrs. Carlson was seen in her cell and laughed when asked why she had/so far forgotten herself as to wink at the Judge. 'I didn't know he was the Judge" she said. and he seemed such a pleasant gentleman that I couldn't help it. What harm was there in 1t, anyway? I an, sorry if he feels hurt about it.
 My husband had no right to say what he did. l have been good mother to his children and never took more than a glass or two of beer, which he is fond or himself l have been in prison nearly two days now, and think 1t is punish nent enough "

 Him.
WILL FILED FOR PROBATE
THE ENTIRE ESTATE LEFT TO
 THE WIDOW.

 The will of the deceased Senator was written in October, eight years ago. and bequeaths the entire estate, valued at $50 600, to the widow and to his two brothers, Harry Denison and Joseph L. Denison. The brothers receive $10UV apiece and the balance is to be held by the widow during her lifetime and afterwdrd to pass into the possession of the two daughters and his stepson. The petition states that the estate consists Of stocks, notes, bonds and real estate Of the ap- prOXimate value of $50 GOO. but 1t is be- heved to be much greater.

CUTTING RATES ON
 CALIFORNIA WINES

The freight war between the steamer lines to New York and the railroads has not abated a jot. The Pacific Mail has made further reduction on wine tariffs, and back of this recent lowering of freight charges on wine to 36 cents per hundred pounds Is a commercial accident which will cost several of the large wine ablishments several extra thousand dollars for freightage.
 A few days ago the sailing vessel Roan- oke, belonging to John Rosenfeld's Sons, left San Francisco for New York laden with S2O0 tons of wine. The freight rate on the clipper line is 45 cents. Hardly had the sails been unfurled when the Pa cific Mail reduced it's rate from 45 cents to 36 cents. The clipper lines route is around the Horn, and the Pacific Mail by way of Panama Not only would the time of shipment have been lessened by many days but the saving on freight charges would have been very considera- bie The aggregate saving would have amounted to at least s22, ,464. The heaviest loser is the California Wine Association. Lachman & Jacobi are second on the list. and the California Winemakers' Corpora ton comes close third.
 There has been general reduction made by the Pacific Mall within the last few months. The former rail rates on wine were 75 cents. by way of Panama 6o
 
 Then the Panama lines reduced to 45 cents and the Southern Pacific followed in the wake. The clipper lines clung to the 45 cent rate, and now. the Pacific Mall has made another inroad. the present 36 cent tariff. This rate applies to all ship ments. no matter what size, materially affecting the small shippers, who, now have an opportunity to compete with the big wine establishments since the discrep- ancy between the rates for large and small shipments has been removed. There l. k god, Ion Ao hrr . t1<, Pacific Mail steamship line The tariff on borax has been lowered from 40 cents to 36 cents. rubber junks from 50 cents to cents.
 To meet this reduction on these several commodities the Southern Pacific will also be forced to lower its tarim rates. The clipper line will be in the same position, and general reductions may be expected.

GRAPE-NUTS.
WORKING ON BRAINS.
Food Specialist Brings Out
 Novelty.

A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich, connected with the Postum Cereal Co., Linn, has produced a food especially intended for rebuilding the brain It is a well known fact among physicians that examination of precipitation and urine will tell whether the individual has been actively using the brain or not.
 Brain work exhausts the phosphates which appear in the excreta above mentioned. Administration of inor- ganic phosphorus or phosphates does not readily supply the waste, for na- ture demands that phosphates be made up and blended in food which she fur nishes. Advantage has been taken of this knowledge and scientific selec- tion of part of the grain has been made and these have been put through mechanical processes parallel to the processes throu0h which food Is passed in its management by the human diges- tive organs. Therefore the new food is not only ready to serve without cook ing, but 1t has passed through the process where the starches have been changed to grape-sugar, and that with the proteids, organic phosphates. etc, are at once ready to be quicklys absorbed and turned to use in yitaliZ- lAk anu uouTlSnluS lne parts or the body like brain, solar plexus, and the delicate nerve centers.
 The new food has been given the name of Grape-Nuts, and far from being a "Crank's Food" 'Invalid's Food" or anything of that sort, it is a crisp, sweet-novelty charming to the athlete. brain worker, epicure, or in- valid.
 Grape-Nuts can be had of grocers. and a trial dish for breakfast will be found @ pleasant experience.
