When business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night where he is
so shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the foor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with round turn.
If he does not, it means nervous prostration
and menta, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make a man of him
again. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom of things
It searches out the first cause. When
man is in tAis condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots aud hit that first
cause the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots It promptly transforms weak stom-
ach into a healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. 1t gives
man an appetite like boys. It invigor-
ates the liver It fills the blood with the
ife-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current and when it is filled with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
well and strong 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fibers. 1t puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration

Gallant Struggle Made BY the DIS.
abIed Ca PtaIn and Lieutenant
Commander Harris and the
Crew TO Save the Vessel,
but They Barely
Saved Their Own
Lives
Special Dispatch to The Call

CHARLESTON, Nov. 5.-The tug
Merritt put into Charleston this morn
ing for supplies. She reported the loss
OF the cruiser Maria Teresa, raised by
Constructor Hobson, off San Salvador,
Bahamas November l, in the midst Of
a furious storm.
The cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on
the morning Of October 80, in tow, for
New York. She had already passed
Cape Maysi and started northeast
around the Bahamas. A furious storm,
warning of which had already been
sent out, overlook her, and in her con-
dition she was unable to weather the
gale. The strain opened rents in her
hull which had been patched to enable
her to make the journey, and she began
to fill rapidly. The Merritt took off
Captain Harris and the crew from the
sinking ship and she soon went down.
The Merritt brought the captain and
1876 men, who will proceed north by
rail. No lives were lost, as far as
known.
The Merritt is now at quarantine, six
miles from the city, communication
with her being difficult.
Later in the day the Merritt arrived
from quarantine, and the survivors of
the Teresa came ashore. They lost all
clothing and personal effects, and are
supplied scantily. The Teresa sunk
thirty miles off Walling Island at mid
night Tuesday, after battling with the
gale six hours.
She met the storm Tuesday morning
and the vessel began to strain in the
high seas. Parts of the hull thought to
be safe became weakened. rivets broke
and the water made rapidly in the hold.
The boilers began to give way, and
finalI-- the water extinguished the fires
in the engine room. The pumps would
not work. The whole vessel showed
signs of a collapse, and the men stood
stripped. waiting orders to quit the
ship.
The Vulcan was towing the Teresa
while the Merritt rescued ia Of the
crew, made up of volunteers from the
Cincinnati, Newark and Vulcan. The
ropes were then cut, and she rapidly
filled The Vulcan and Leonidas de-
serted the Merritt, which put into
Charleston with the rescued. Captain
Crittenden and Captain Lacade of the
Merritt had their arms sprained. The
crew left the shin for Norfolk.

Harris and his crew, and Captain
Crowninshield of the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton said no orders would be formulated
tonight.
1t is said at the Navy Department
that provision was made by which the
Teresa could have weathered any ordi-
nary storm. A rough wooden deck had
been nailed over her upper works. Her
hull was then sheathed and heavy
chains were wound around her so as to
hold her together. Although far from
seaworthy, all that was expected was
that the cruiser might be kept afioat
until locked in this country. She had
been stripped of all guns and valua-
bles, save the big turret 11-inch guns
before starting, so that 1t is believed
there will be no loss on that account.
1t is the opinion of the Navy Depart
ment that the Government, besides the
value of the ship herself, loses only the
amount per diem of $500 per day
through the sinking Of the vessel, be-
cause the contract appears to have re-
quired the delivery by the wrecking
company of the vessel at the naVy-yard
at Norfolk, Va.
According to the contract, salvage
was to consist of such further compen-
stipulated expenses as might be award
ed by board appointed for that pur-
pose, consisting of a representative of
each party and third party, their sur
vev to be made after the vessels de-
livery at Norfolk.
The first thing now in order is a
court Of inquiry; in fact, the depart
ment has no option in the case of the
loss of a vessel under such conditions.
This court is required to fix the re-
sponsibility for loss. Upon their con-
clusion will depend whether or not a
court martial shall be held. Lieuten-
ant Commander Harris is the only Of
ficer whom the department knows to
have been attached to the Teresa, al
though he was doubtless supported by
some warrant officers whose names
were not reported to the department
before the ship sailed. He was in COM
mand of the Vulcan throughout the war
and bears an enyiable reputation for
ability in his profession.
The opinion is expressed that with
the material raised by the wreckers of
which have been operated upon so far
the Navy Department will be able to
reimburse itself fully for the outlay of
$500 ner diem to the contractors
The loss of the ship will be a bitter
disappointment to the people in Nor
folk, where extensive arrangements
have been made to bring excursions
from all points to the navy yard there
to look at the famous ship and where
the reconstruction of the vessel would
afford at least year and a half's work
to a large body of mechanics and la
borerS.

to which the Vulcan replied, I'VE will
hold on until she sinks or parts the tow
line" The last signal he made was, le
small boats will take ALL" After that L
had to go aft to force the drunken men
overheard. and about o'clock we were
all Off The boats were hauled under the
stem as near as it was safe, where the
oil and lee of the ship made II smooth,
and were held by one line, while another
line with a ladder attached floated to the
stern. Two double bights were stopped
on the right side to go over a mans
shoulder. The end was slackened from
the ship and when two men jumped they
were hauled into the boat. A very fine
fellow named Olsen attended to this.
When all had gone but he and he cut
the line and we jumped together. 1t was
perhaps $50 when we reached the Mer-
ritt. While she was getting the surf
boats the Vulcan slipped the hawser of
the Teresa. l expect that the wreck
dragging off to port brought all the
strain on the port bridge and started the
bits. When the boats were in the Mer-
rift at my request started to speak the
Vulcan but was unable to reach her, and
she apparently did not hear our whistle.
The Merritt then returned to find the
wreck, but could not do so. The search
continued until 1 p. m. the following day
when she headed for Charleston. Very
respectfully,
IRA HARRIS,
Lieutenant Commander.

More Reports of tho Success of the Alas6 Trade Committees
 Car.

D. NJ. Carman, secretary of the Alaska trade committee, returned Sunday even ing from Chicago, and reports that the interest in Alaska and the Klondike throughout the sections visited, as well as those with which he corresponds, far exceeds his expectations, and he believes the number of people going into the Alaska gold fields during the coming sea- son has not been overestimated.
 The trip from here to Chicago was a signal success. It is doubtful whether a party for similar purpose ever received such welcomes and was entertained by such people as met the Alaska trade com mittee's car. In every city visited the gether with representative business men, and in three of the States the Governors came to the car and extended a welcome to the party. In addition to this the Governor of Nebraska sent a long tele- gram to Omaha expressing his regret at not being able to meet the party and subsequently, he sent his chief of staff to personally receive it. Governor Tanner of Illinois was at the Great Northern and awaited the arrival of the party there.
 MT. Carman was quite enthusiastic in the expression of his views concerning the desirability of the jubilee mining ex- hiEit being taken to Omaha at the close of the fair here. He believes that greater good can be done for California in gene ral, as well as San Francisco in particu- lar, by this than by any other effort that could be put forth in connection with the rans-Mississippi and Inter national Exposition at Omaha.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Jan. IT, Warden Hale lost one of his striped guests to-day, when Rudolph Wagner, a convict serving a sentence for burglary, managed, through a technical point, to gain his liberty.
 Wagner's case Is one in whic4 a law point of considerable interest was in volved, and that he was successful in gaining his freedom may encourage oth- CTS in the big penitentiary to adopt sim liar methods. Wagner applied to Superior Judge Frank M. Angellotti of Marin County for a writ of habeas corpus. It was issued. and the hearing came on to- day in San Rafael. Late this afternoon Judge Angellotti rendered his opinion which gave to the convict his freedom
 The decision, which Is in writing, Is, in part, as follows:
 On December p. 1883. Wagner. on plea of guilty of burglary, was adjudged to suffer one years imprisonment in the State Prison at
 Subsequently, to-wit: On December 27. 1sss he entered plea of guilty to a second in- formation for burglary that had been filed upon sentenced to Imprisonment at said State Prison for five years. said term to commence Der g, 1893, of one year" On December 30, 1896, he was. by the Prison Directors, deprived
 Petitioners claim Is that the two sentences ran concurrently. and that he became en- titled to his discharge upon the expiration of four years Imprisonment in the State Prison, and in this contention I satisfied that he is sustained by the statute
 If both convictions had been suffered prior to the pronouncing of sentence in either case section 6s9 Penal Code. would have applied and the Imprisonment on the second conviction made to commence at the termination of the first term. As understand the law that tion prescrfbes the only case in which one term can be made to commence at the piration Of other terms. In all other cases the term of Imprisonment fixed by the judg- ment commences to run upon the delivery of the defendant at the place of imprisonment
 This is the with the second. or four year judgment. pronounced against petitioner. and he. having suffered Imprisonment for the full term, has satisfied the demands of the law and is entitled to his discharge. Let an order be entered accordingly
 Wagner has not been a model prisoner since his confinement in San Quentin and lost all of his credits for breach of disci- pline. However, now he has his free dom and others in the prison having double sentences to serve may secure their liberty in the same manner.

Byron s. Burns Wanted for Defrauding an
 Innkeeper.
The Complaining Witness Is Mrs. Irwin of the Hotel
 Bradbury.
Lady Proprietor of the Hotel Suther- land, Where He Is Stopping, Is
 Also After Him.

Mrs. Tillie A. Irwin of the Hotel Bradbury swore to a complaint in Judge Lows court yesterday afternoon charging Byron s. Burns with defraud- ing an innkeeper.
 Mrs. Irwin, in stating her case, said: Burns and his wife and two children came to my hotel on July last and se- cured a suit of rooms. He represented to me that he was connected with the Sonoma Wine Company and had re- gently come from the East. He had good appearance and dressed and spoke well. AS it is a rule in my house to pay in advance I asked him for money. He made an excuse that he was then short of funds, but would pay me very soon.
 My suspicious were aroused from the fact that they had no trunks with them and after week or so I asked him where his trunks were. He replied that owing to the crush caused by the Chris tian Endeavorers coming to the city he supposed the trunks had got mixed up by the transfer company, but would come all right soon. Things went on for two or three months, but there was no appearance of any trunks, and he finally said they had been detained in New Jersey.
 'T got altogether s9o out of him and about October Il told him he would have to leave by October 15, and he must pay me then $167, the balance due me. On that day he quietly removed the few things belonging to them and was slipping away, when I met him in the hall. I demanded my money and he gave me the 'Ha-ha.' I have been since trying to find him, and 1t was only this morning that I learned he and his wife and two children were stopping at the Hotel Sutherland, on Sutter street.
 T went there and saw him, but he declined to pay me, telling me frankly that he had no funds. I asked him to give me an order on the Sonoma Wine Company. but he said he had left them some weeks ago. I ascertained that he had never been connected with that company at all.
 'I consider him a regular hotel dead beat and I find that he is owing the Ho- tel Sutherland SS0 for board and lodg- ing. He and his family have been there since December 10 and have only paid S30'
 The lady proprietor of the Hotel Sutherland accompanied Mrs. Irwin to Judge Lows court and also wanted to sign complaint against Burns, but as he was still living there she did not ob- tain 1t. She corroborated what Mrs. Irwin said about Burns owing her SS0 and said she would secure an attach ment from the Justice Court for his trunk.
 Burns claims to be a teacher of elo- cution, but Mrs Irwin said that she had made diligent inquiry and could not find any one who knew him or where he taught his class. She does not believe that he has class anywhere.

Poor MT. Greenway Is excited. His massive brow is decorated not with beads. but buttons of precipitation, and his usual mild seal eyes actually flash, in spite of the fact that all eyes, ir- respective of color. have been enjoined by Ambrose Bierce never to do so.
