Of Public Interest.

During an interview Mrs. c. T. Nor Till of POT Jones street stated she suf- fered several years from cancer of the breast, doctoring and trying every known remedy without avail. Hearing of Dr. Chamley the Cances Specialist of IT Third street. she went to him for treatment and in two weeks a two and a half pound cancer was painlessly re- moved by the doctor and the cure was so complete that she says: You can't put it too strongly for me, and to help suffering humanity I willingly testify to it's efficacy
 Another lady who consulted Dr. Chamley was Mrs. Lundahl of 517 Shotwell street, who is most enthusi- astic over the cure effected in her case, declaring her life was saved, and asks any one interested to call and see her. A cancer had been cut from the top of her head, but had returned and was growing so large and fast that Dr. Chamley feared he would fail, yet in two months 1t was removed, leaving only a small scar.

YELLOW POSTAL FAKE
 OFFICIALLY EXPOSED.
GEO. W. BEAVERS DENoUNCES
 AN EXAMINER FALSEHCOD.
He Did Not Come Here Unannounced, and Was on a Regular Tour
 of Annual Inspection.

The Examiner yesterday morning con- vulsed the Postoffice officials with merri- ment by printing an attempted sensa- tional story to the effect that the arrival of George W. Beavers, chief of the Post office salary and allowance division, had thrown postal employees into a fever of excitement, not to say apprehension. The fake went on to state that MT. Beaver sneaked into the city about a month ago and eluded the argus-eyed hotel reporters by taking a suite of rooms at the Palace Hotel and by neglecting to register.
 The fact of the matter is that Mr. Bea- vers arrived in this city on the evening of May F, and his arrival was noted in The Call the next morning. He at once called upon Postmaster Montague and in- Quired of him as to the wants of the San Francisco office. He came here in the course of his usual routine duties, and, books, complimented MT. Montague high ly upon the efficient manner in which his office has been and is being conducted MT. Beavers said further that he would do everything in his power to prevent the lowering of the appropriation for the San Francisco office, and that he would rec ommend the increase of the appropria ton in several particulars.
 He denounced the Examiner article as falsehood pure and simple, with no basis whatever. He is not a secret agent in any sense of the words, and does not sneak in or out of towns spying upon PostmaSters. not densely ignorant of Federal affairs he would know that the secret service work in postoftices is done by postal in- SpectorS.

PATRIOTISM IN COURT.
Judges Joachimsen and Low Imbued
 With the Prevalent Enthusiasm.

Because three boys cheered the incom- ing troops on Geary street, near Rich mond, Friday night, Policeman T. Fell arrested them and booked them on a charge of disturbing the peace. Their names are Richard Walsh, Henry Dosher and William Fredericks. They appeared before Judge Joachimsen yesterday morn ing, accompanied by their parents. The policeman testified that the boys were jeering at the soldiers, but the boys said they were cheering them and yelling, Down with Spain!' The Judge, after reprimanding the officer, discharged the boys and told them to cheer as much as they liked
 John Mullen appeared before Judge Low yesterday to answer a charge of robbery. The complaining witness, Edward Good, a sailor. testified that he had been drink ing with Mullen and did not know how he had lost his watch. He might have dropped it and Mullen had picked it up. Mullen told the Judge that he was chief cook on the City of Sydney and was going to Manila. The Judge remarked that he did not believe that any robbery was com mitted and he told Mullen to go back to his ship and treat the boys we'll on the voyage.

Bold Crime of a Daring
 '1POrCh-CIimber.'
SECURED VALUABLE BOOTY.
HE ENTERS THE RESIDENCE
 OF DAVID CULLEN.
The Police Say He Is the Elusive Burglar Who Operated in San Francisco Last
 Winter.

The daring porch climber" who gave the police so much trouble last winter, is again at work. During the past week he has entered at least a half-dozen houses and got away with considerable property. His latest vic- tim is David Cullen, who lives at 1717 Ellis street.
 Some time after midnight Friday the bold burglar entered Cullen's room through an open window and While ms victim slept he searched his clothing, securing a gold watch and s25 in money.
 His presence failed to disturb his sleeping victim and 1t was not until Cullen awakened after daybreak that he discovered that he had been robbed.
 Last night he reported the occurrence to the police and Detectives Bee and Harper were sent to make an investl- gation. They found that the nocturnal visitor had gained an entrance to the house by climbing one of the supports of the upper porch. Finding the win dow of Cullens room partly open he raised 1t sufficiently to allow him to enter.
 The police are unusually reticent about the operations of the daring burglar and refuse to give the nst or houses entered by him. Last night Captain Wright, acting under lnstruc- tions from Chief Lees, issued written instructions to the different captains to keep a sharp lookout for the porch climber The instructions were trans mitted to the patrolmen of the various stations, and every effort will now be made to effect his capture.
 During the short time that the dar- ing porch climber operated here last winter the police admit that he got away with considerable money and jewelry. His scheme is to pick out the house that he intends to enter and after waiting until the patrolman on the beat Is about to report off he climbs to the porch and quietly enters.
 The operator became so bold that the head of the Police Department es- tablished a blockade, but, despite the vigilance of the officers, he continued unmolested Several times he was de- tected burglarizing a house by one of the occupants, but managed to es- cape Just before the daring porch climber disappeared from the city he was caught in the act of entering house in the Mission district, and sev- eral shots were fired at him. He es- capped uninjured, and, realizing that the police were hot after him, he left the city.
 From the description given of the work of the man who entered the resi- dence of MT. Cullen the police are con- vinced that he Is the daring porch climber who operated in this city last

When got it, the cir cular advised it's use for the bath, teeth, scalp, etc. l had been great sufferer all my life from sore eyelids, the whole lid outside and in was red as beet. Ihad to sit in a dark room, evenings, for eight and a half years, and wear black spectacles to keep the sun from my eyes in the daytime. When got the CUTIcURA SOAP. got fine, soft cloth, dipped it in hot water and rubbed 1t on the soap and washed my eyes with it. I can't tell you how much good it has done me, although it smarted very much at first.

We cannot, of course, anticipate how CUTIcURA SOAP will work in cases similar to the above, put to those who desire to try it we would suggest beginning with a very weak solution or " studs Of warm water and CUTICURA SOAP until it's action is determined. For unframed, granulated, or eczematous eyelids light applications of Gu. TIcuRA ointment will in most cases be found to work wonders.
