In time Of actual war the officers and

is greatly increased by Il discipline as

''A>lie from the necessary restrictions
imposed to maintain perfect discipline,

prominent physicians, who served during
the war of the rebellion in the capacity
Of surgeon. Men become accustomed
to routine life and readily adapt them
selves to existing conditions. During
the last war officers and men were well

been made since then. At that time the

fruits can be obtained in great quantities

The Wife Of Fitzhueh Lee.

Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee, says the New
York Tribune, has received hundreds of
letters from admirers and sympathizers

husband was in Cuba and apparently in
danger messages from rich and poor
alike poured in upon her, and she says
that they were a great comfort to her, he.

in Cuba, and the treachery of Spanish
officials, she often feared for her hus-
bands safety. She has answered with
her own pen nearly every letter re-

During her residence in the Cuban
capital, Mrs. Lee says she became ac-
quainted with many charming native
families, and got to know intimately a
great many Cuban women. Nearly all
Of the men were with the insurgents,
and these, Of course, she did not meet,
unless she happened to see them on the
streets of Havana after being captured
and previous to their removal to some
wretched dungeon. None Of the Spanish
officials had their wives with them and
the Cuban women rarely ventured out of
doors, because if they attracted atten-

Mrs. Lee is home-loving women, and
all her affections are centered upon her
home circle. She does not belong to any
club, and shrinks from publicity, being
extremely retiring. But she is careful to
fulfill all of her duties to the public and
to society, and is much beloved. In
spite of her silver hair Mrs. Lee is so
young in appearance that it is hard to
believe she is the mother of five children,

WATCH CAREFULLY
Nature Gives the Warning, and Every Wise Man or Woman Must Respond When She Calls for Help.

Watch well the first symptoms of dys- pepsia and indigestion.
 In these are the seeds of future trouble planted in the system.
 Disease and danger Turk in the vital organs, the blood becomes vitiated and the general health is undermined when ever the stomach and liver fail to perform their functions as nature intended.
 The evidences of disturbance in these organs are always plain and unmistak- able.
 A heaviness and lassitude seem to seize the brain and to depress the bodily energy and spirit. All mental or physical effort becomes a torture, and, if neglected, things go on from bad to worse until the health is completely undermined or de- stroyed.
 Nor is it safe to resort to the harsh and gripping cathartics. The best thing any many or woman can do at such times is to take pure stimulant-not an ordinary one, but something that has been tested and tried and is indorsed by the leading people of the land. Precisely such an article is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It has stood the test of time. pos sesses medicinal qualities known to no other whskey. It will tone up the stomach relieve dyspepsia and cure where other preparations only relieve. Be sure your druggist or grocer gives you the genuine

 MISS Nielsen is lucky, as well as tal- ented. Compared with Della Fox and Pauline Hall or any one else we have had here in recent years she is won derful.

 The bark Northern Light will go on the drydock tomorrow preparatory to being got ready as passenger ship for the Kotzebue Sound trade. She will take about 127 gold hunters and will get away early in the spring. The bark Alaska, which is also managed by Cap tain Cogan, has all her accommodations taken and the machinery for the stern wheel steamerhas been put aboard. The lumber for the vessel is expected daily rom Puget Sound, and as soon as it gets here the steamer will be built in sections and slowed away in the hold Of the Alaska, after which Captain Co., gan will take a rest until the vessel sails next April. The Alaska Northern Light expedition will be one of the best equipped gold hunting ventures that will leave San Francisco this year.
 The Australia and Zealandia will both sail next Thursday. Over a hun dred men have been at work on the Australia getting her ready for the Dyea-Skaguay trade, and she will get away Thursday at p. m. The Zea- landia, which will take the Australia s place on the Honolulu run, is in readi- ness to go out and will get away on Thursday at p. m.
 The Alaska Commercial Company has evidently some fears for the safety of the bark Coloma. On December 29 last she left Tacoma for Unalaska with 6S0,000 feet of lumber valued at $9650. This was intended to be used in the building of barges, but as the captain of the steamer Lakme reports that the Coloma had not reached her destina- tion when he left Alaska her owners think that something has happened to her. Accordingly the steam schooner Sunol has been chartered to go to Port Blakeley at once and load lumber for Unalaska. The Sunol has had a hard time of 1t this last week. She left here for Usal to load lumber, but had only got one slingful aboard when her moor ings parted and she had to put to sea. When communications with shore were again established telegram ordering the steamer back to San Francisco was put aboard. She arrived here yester- day, and at once began takingon stores for her trip to Port Blakeley.

SOCIETY NOT THERE.
But Old Friends Are There to
 Welcome the Bostonians.

There was a smashing of the opera audience tradition at the Baldwin last evening.
 The Bostonians had their first night and society was not there to greet them.
 There were no jewels, no laces, no gleaming shoulders, not even the faintest gimmer of snowy throat; in short, "the house." to put it managerially, was not "prettily dressed"
 But it was substantial. Every chair from the orchestra rail to the last row in the gallery was occupied, and what the audience lacked as far as social pres tige goes it more than made up in en- thusiasm and a floral expression Of well come and appreciation.
 Monday night, according to the laws that be, is no longer the night of the week. One goes on Monday to enjoy the play or revel in the music, whichever the case may be, but one wears ones best frock and invites ones friends on Friday evening-the theater night par excellence.
 It was the music lovers that were out in full force last evening. They burst their gloves and stamped holes into their best calf boots to accentuate the delight the music and the artists gave them. They flung chilly good form" to the winds and when they wanted more they cried for it in the good old fashioned not to-be denied way. and got it.
 Theatrical rules were broken and f1oW- CTS passed over the footlights. The second act was given over to the flower brigade. and Manager Friedlander, in spick and span full dress, directed the movements of a force of uSherS who sped down the center aisle bearing the numerous floral tokens During the wait occasioned by the fragrant Advertisement a wall flower with a mathematical turn of mind ob- served that Miss Alice Nielsen bowed acknowledgement for twenty-five floral of- ferings.

 Frank D. Ryan of Sacramento, Jacob H. Neff of Colfax, A. B. Lennon of Santa Rosa, Thomas Flint ST. of Monte rey and Lee of Los Angeles were the Republican candidates.
