THE CIRCUS COMING.
The Great Wallace Shows An
nounced for October 7th.

''The Great Wallace Shows" are to
exhibit here on the 7th of October.
They rank as among the foremost of
great circuses. OF this attraction the
Pittsburg (Pa>) "Commercial-G Gazette
has the following to say:
The Great Wallace Shows arrived in
the city at 11:15 a. m. yesterday in
three sections A few hours later the
immense show was landed inside the
Exposition Park and long before
nightfall the many acres Of canvas
We're stretched and the apparatus
placed for the performance.
"Wallace's show has many strong at
fractions this year which are not intro
duced in the other circuses. The per-
formances in the big tent brings be-
fore the public the Nelson family, aero
bats Of international fame. The nine
members Of the family are known to
the Pittsburg public, their clever work
having been appreciated here many
times. The Angelo family do the flying
trapeze act, and the Stirks, French
trick cyclists, perform. The Petits, in
their aerial bar comedy act, are one of
the important features of the show, and
the Grand Ballet was a magnificent
spectacle. Clowns, male and female,
and all the Accomplishments of a first
class circus performance are given to
the big audiences which We're present,
who We're greatly surprised that this
show, on its first visit here, eclipsed in
every respect any big show that had
ever visited Pittsburg, and we have
had them all.''

TO CARE FOR EPILEPTICS.
Proposed Plan to Enlarge the Glen
Ellen Home.

There is a movement under way that
may develop an important method
Tor taking care of dependent epileptics
IN this State. It was brought to light
quite fully at a meeting of the Hospital
superintendent, Trustees and Com
mlssloners Of Lunacy, held in San
francisco a few days ago.
Speaking Of the matter yesterday,
Secretary John F. Carrere of the COM
mission said: This plan was really
brought forth by DR.. A. E. Osborne of
the Home for the Feeble Minded at
Glen Ellen. He is recognized as one
OF the brightest men in the United
states, and is an authority in matters
pertaining to the treatment of epi-
leptics and feeble minded persons.
He has carried on his scheme in a
small way up at the home the plan
being to place the unfortunates on
farm in some such way as they do it
in Cheer, Belgium, and as is done on
certain Eastern farms. 1t has come
to light that epileptics placed on farm
or elsewhere together are able to aid
one another and even to foretell the
coming of spasms on their companions,
even though this sort of foreknowledge
experts. Aside from this, they become
more or less self-supporting, and this
is great thing for the State as we'll
as for the unfortunates, many of
whom are as proud as anybody else"
DR.. Hatch, speaking Of the same mat
ter, said: ''It is a fact that this State
has a great many epileptics who are
not insane enough to be sent to asy-
lums, yet who are not fit to do busi-
ness on their own responsibility. 1t is
for this class that the home is to be
started-that is, if the recommenda-
tions Of the board and others that the
Legislature make an appropriation
meets with favor. The plan is for the
farm UP at Glen Ellen to be enlarged.
and that DR.. Osborne be given full
opportunity to do all that can be done
for the epileptics. The fact is that
epilepsy is a dangerous thing when
symptoms Of insanity occur with it.
The disease is generally incurable, and
it very, very often leads to insanity
Though julius Caesar and Napoleon
were epileptics, it is a fact that a
great many epileptics do go insane.
Another thing that this home would
do would be to enable many of the
epileptic patients in our asylums to get
out to the farm, where they could be
better treated and cared for all

A CHILD DISCARDS PLATO.
Queer Incident in the Life Of g
Sacramento Boy.

Strange thoughts sometimes occur in
the minds of children, and these often
give rise to speculations that interest
philosophers An incident in point
came to light in Sacramento when Pro-
fessor Griggs was lecturing here some
years ago.
THE ideal civilization will not be
reached" said he, until people realize
the obligations of citizenship after
Plato's ideal; and then men who vio-
late the laws will not feel right until
they have surrendered themselves to
the magistrate for punishment
The statement seemed rather dreamy
to his hearers, and it was commonly
said that such traits never existed in
mankind, and that the hope for such
an era was like expecting golden con-
duct from leaden instincts.
After the lecture, however, one of the
best-known citizens Of Sacramento, a
merchant whose business is exceeded
by that Of none-but who requests that
his name be suppressed-said to the
speaker: 'I have recently had an illus
tration of the fact that such a senti-
ment exists in the human heart. It
occurred in this way: My little boy
came to me the other night and said ::
I feel bad because I have been mean
to-day. 1 slapped my little cousin
Bessie, and I want you to whip me-
Well, said T. you are sorry you
did it, are you not?'
Yes he said, but I want to be
whipped for it; I have done wrong, and
I want to be whipped.
II then told the child that the OBJ
1P :,
him remember and not commit evil
again. AS you have already repented
there is no need of whipping you, I
said.
But this did not satisfy him, so he
complained to his mother that I would
not whip him. She came to me and
told me that the matter rested on the
child's mind SO that he would not be
able to sleep unless I should first pun
ish him. Well, I gave him light
whipping, and he went to bed happy.
That was several years ago." added
the father of the child with Platonic
ideas Of justice What do you sup
pose he thinks now? Well, he has been
going to school and taking observa-
tions in human conduct for several
years. I lately recalled the circum-
stance to him and asked him whether
he remembered the incident He said ::
Yes, and what a little fool I must have
BEEN"

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble
Instantly Relieved and Perma-
nently Cured by Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count Of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use Of the
new discovery, Stuarf's Dyspepsia
Tablets
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss Of
flesh the heart became affected, caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
l gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an experiment I finally bought a fifty
cent package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
gained between 10 and II pounds in
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet I consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line Of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or invalids
or in any condition of the stomach with
perfect safety, being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, bilousness, constipation and all
arrangements Of the stomach however
slight or severe.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

WARS GREAT LESSON.

The San Francisco call., 1898-06-19

THE percentage of volunteers who
 are rejected by the surgeons
 ranges from 10 to 20 per cent. At
 l Island Lake recently 700 men
 were examined, and only 80 per cent were accepted. Considering that the candidates for enlistment are most ly young men and that they have been able to come up to physical require ments of the National Guard, this is a discouragingly large proportion of in- capables.
 From other State camps the report comes that disqualification is due in the majority of cases to heart weak ness, attributable generally to cigarette smoking and not infrequently to ex- cessive bicycle riding. The young men who belong to our militia are so cir cumstanced in life that there Is scarcely any excuse for serious physical dis ability. They are comfortably housed, well fed, and adequately clothed. Of recreations and fresh air they have an abundance. They have only their own immoderatenesS in the use of tobacco or the wheel or eXcesseS of other kinds to blame for their failure to go to the front with their fellows.
 IL IS d Sale guess that many or the young men who get into the service have more luxuries and more license than is good for their physical we'll being. Once under strict military dis cipline they will realize the wholesome results of simple fare, regular habits and systematic exercise. It Is re- grettable that any of our young men must have to go to war to learn the value of these simple rules of living the inestimable advantage of a self restrained and well-ordered life
 AS for those who have been set aside by the examiners their rejection will be worth more than two years in the ser vice If the humiliating and disappoint- ing experience impels them to overcome the cause of their disability, if it Is within their power to do so. The youth who controls his own spirit in all mat ters affecting his moral and physical welfare is greater than he that taketh Havana.

command fairly worshiped her.
 A majors commission was given her honorary, of course, as it is in all cases where 1t is bestowed on women-but in her eyes of fnestimable value as ex- pressing something of the ar1ny's feel ing regarding her.
 Fate was not kind to her in the long years that intervened between those days of brave exploit and the dreary December day in 1S9o when the Lincoln Post of San Francisco laid her to rest. Trouble and misfortune came to her; friends proved false or became es- tranged; and later generations forgot the story of the past.
 Though never adequately rewarded for her heroic services she loved her country to the last, unselfishly and truly. It was perhaps poor reward. but 1t was one that she always desired ! that the flag of our nation draped her bier, that soldiers as well as civilians followed her to the grave, that salute was fired across the mound raised above her. and that taps" were sounded when the curtain fell upon the drama of her life.

 Of a truth at first glance one wonders how Mrs. Carman has managed to en- dure the toll and trouble that has al- ready been hers. But if one seeks for 1t there is suggestion of wiryness about her that despite her thinness speaks well for her powers of endur- NIl Icr o1.,AA blue eyes and unmistakable lines of firmness about the mouth and chin. And above all there is calmness and gentleness, an absence of all furry and hustle, which is the birthmark of her profession.
 I was out at the Presidio every day while Walter was there" she continued. T never missed one day. They told me 1t rafned, but I did not feel it. He was there and that was all I knew. Now he has gone and I feel nothing"
 Did you give him your permission to enlist?"
 NO, did not know until he had signed. He knew that would not con- sent so he did not tell ne until it was over. It was the first important step he ever took without consulting me. But did not upbraid hlm. If he felt he was right then I could do no more than try to make his last days here comfortable. But I am determined to go to him. If the Red Cross Society does not send any nurses then I will find some other way, Unless find out that no one will be allowed to land in Manila l will go. Perhaps I can get a position as stewardess or one of the ships to China and then cross over from there to Manila If there is any possi- ble way shall find it out and nothing not even certain death itself-shall keep me back.

 "I shall go to Manila if have to go on my own resources and alone" says Mrs. Mary Carman. And she says it with the same determination as the others, although there are quavering breaks in her voice and her eyes are soft with suppressed tears.
 For Mrs. Carman is more than a nurse anxious to help the sick and wounded. She is mother as well. And mother who saw her only son, the sole comfort of her widowed age, bravely shoulder his musket and march off to battle for his country. Her most intimate friends declare that she is de- termined to go to Manila because she Is fearful that she will die with con- sumption before her soldier boy returns and that she may never rest eyes on him again.

 wan, pitiful smile that was sadder than tears lowered for a second on her face, then clasping her hands her mar velous self-control slipping from her for a moment, she leaned forward and in a voice vibrating with doubt and hope and longing said: "Oh, do you think they will send any women to Manila !? Surely if they do send any nurses they will send me. See, I have dozens of let ters of recommendation from doctors that have nursed under.'
 And so she had. All testifying as to the character and ability of Mrs. Mary Carman, nurse.

I have had fourteen years practical experience, nursing for living, and the doctors are always satisfied with my work.

One after the other I nursed them through months of sickness only to lose them both. Then my husband was taken from me, although l cared for him night and day. I was all alone then with my little Walter, and I had to do something to support us. So I turned naturally to nursing. That was fourteen years ago. All this time I have worked, but I did not mind 1t. I have seen my boy grow up into good young man and just when we could have been so happy he is taken away from mes
