The most powerful engine must stop If
the fires are not fed. Man Is the most Won
derful piece of machinery in the world, yet
no matter how strong and well-nade his
bodily frame may be. if the fire of life
within him is not constantly fed his limbs
and muscles become powerless and useless.
The reason men become helpless and
diseased is because the food they eat,
which is the fuel of life. Is not properly
digested and appropriated by the stomach
and nutritive organs. 1t Is not completely
transformed into the strength and working

THE LATEST INTERVENTION
HanotauN Busy With n scheme to stop

LONDON. May 27.-The Star claims
to have information that the French
minister of foreign affairs. NJ. Hano-
taux. is making great efforts to stop
the Spanish. American war. 1t says
that Russia, Austria and France are
endeavoring to induce Germany and
Italy to join III a representation to
President Mckinley declaring that the
powers will induce Spain to grant the
independence of Cuba. Should Amer
lea refuse intervention, 1t is further
alleged that the powers mentioned
would send q feet to put Cuba under
international rule. as was done III the
island Of Crete, until the withdrawal
of the Spanish forces, and the constl.
tuition OF regular local government.
1t is further said that these powers
would justify Intervention on the
ground that the war threatens the
general peace Of Europe.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: "All this
talk of assistance from Europe is all
moonshine. Neither France nor any
other power is likely to burn its fingers
with the Spanish chestnut. Senior
Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to
France, most probably has good deal
to do in Paris, but it is Of financial
nature.

THE KEEFE MATTER.
Police Place No Credence in Eddie's
 Story Accusing His Father of Murdering His Mother.

ALAMEDA. April 22.-The Alameda police take no stock In the story told by Eddie Keefe as to the alleged murder of his mother by his father on the morning of the 9th of July last. They are so skep- tical that they say they will do nothing in the premises unless something more than Eddie's wild yarn shall transpire to convince them that crime has been com mitted.
 Keefe himself is indignant at this latest tale of his son. and declares that he wants nothing so much as an investiga- ton. AS stated, however, the police say there is nothing to investigate, and the District Attorneys office made the same statement to-day in response to query if it intended to move in the matter
 A short time since Keefe created quite a scene when a young lady reporter for one of the city papers called on him and began to ask him about the disappear ance of his wife. He pretended to be so shocked that he apparently fell to the ground in a fit. But young physician who was there saw at a glance that he was faking. and brusquely told Keefe to quit his nonsense, al the same time stir ring him up somewhat vigorously, where upon he arose to his feet and, with a sheepish look, threw off in an instant all symptoms of illness.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway. April 9.
 J. s. Corrigan. who was sitting at din- ner with his wife and children at Twen- ty-seventh avenue two nights ago, had good reason to believe that the Span iarGs had landed in the rear of his gar den. Bullets flew through his house thick and fast, one plowed through his boys hair, another grazed Mrs. Corri- gan's ear, while two more were within two inches of going through his wife's head.
 At the back of MT. Corrigan's premises lives Mir. Snyder, who is somewhat of a rifeman. A few days ago he discov- cred a tramp lurking about his premises and he determined to be prepared for any emergency. He purchased a maga- zine rife and decided to practice with it so that he could hit a prowling burglar if he so desired.
 AIr Snyder knows absolutely nothing about the deadliness or speed or any other feature of magazine rifle steel bull lets. He put up a target at the extreme end of his lot. which runs through the block from MT. Corrigan's premises, and proceeded to practice just at dusk. There is a wooden fence, with generous inter- stices and knotholes, between the two properties.
 Mir. Corrigan and his family were sit ting at dinner when NIT. Snyders prac-
 
 from the open back door Of the CorriGan house and right in line with it. Snyder : shots came through the open door about two feet above the level of the table Some of them cut their way clean through the board fence and a couple of them buried themselves in the frame ot the door leading into a parlOr in front of which Mrs. CoTrigan was sitting.
 The family dared not move out in the yard, for death would have been certain. They got as quickly as possible out of the line of fire and one Of the boys went up- stairs and shouted to Snyder to stop. Snyder stopped instantly, and was the most surprised man in the world when one of the elder boys. who is deputy constable, jumped over the fence and placed him under arrest.
 Snyder made profuse apologies for his lack of common sense, and offered to pay all kinds of damages. Mir Corrigan in- formed him in forcible language that while the actual damage might not ex- ceed two bits it was only by a hair s breadth that he escaped being guilty Of murder. Mir. Corrigan refused to allow his son to keep Snyder under arrest, be- ing convinced that his conduct was noth- ing but the grossest carelessness, and on Snyders assurance that such stupidity would not occur again he was released
 An examination of the fence showed that some of the bullets had cut clean through, leaving holes big enough to put a finger in.
