BURGLARS GET DRUNK. Two Peddlers Arrested After Being Thrown Out of Wagon
 and Injured

Three men shortly before noon yester- day entered the stable of Andrew Cas- sidy 430 Tenth street, and stole 1000 grain sacks and 800 pounds of rope. They placed their plunder in a wagon and drove off.
 Policemen Staples and Wall were mo- tified and they chased the burglars as far as Seventeenth street, where they lost sight of them.
 About three hours later two men were found in an unconscious condition on Thirteenth and Stevenson streets. They had been thrown out of wagon which had been driven rapidly away by the third party, who was the driver.
 The two men were taken to the Receiv- ing Hospital in the patrol wagon from the Seventeenth-Street Police Station and it was found that both were principally Suf- fering from the shock to their systems. One of the two James McDonough, a ped dler living at 1046 Bryant street, had his nose fractured, but he did not appear to be suffering from the shock as much City Prison after his broken nose had been fixed up His companion, James O. Donnelly. was detained at the hospital.
 Policemen Staples and Wall recognized them as two of the trio that robbed Cas- sidys stable and they will be charged with burglary as soon as the police have succeeded in capturing the third man.
 Both McDonough and Donnelly were very drunk, and it is supposed that after they had sold the sacks and rope they got drunk on the proceeds and drove so recklessly that the horse ran away, throwing the two out.

WANT 4 RECORD OF
 GAS )LINE PLANTS
The Fire Department Said to Be in Favor of New
 Regulations.
Acetylene Gas Considered a Stand ing Menace to Property in
 This City

The Fire Committee of the Board of Supervisors discussed the proposed amendments to the fire ordinance yes terday, but decided to lay the matter over for future consideration in order to give the department an opportunity to formu- late its plans. Supervisor Britt had the following amendment to section TOT pre- pared:
 NO person or persons, firm or corpora tion, shall erect any works, apparatus, gas machine or machinery of any kind for the manufacture of Illuminating gas within the city and county of San Fran cisco without permission of the Board of Supervisors.
 It was explained that the amendment was introduced at the instance Of the Fire Department so that a perfect record of all gas and gasoline plants could be kept. The record was desired flo for ro,th the plants being deemed a menace at all times, acetylene gas, the product of gaso- line, being considered combustible and explosive to a dangerous degree.
 The committee was advised that the amendment as proposed was not strictly legal and the matter was put over for a week to give Fire Marchal Towne a chance to report on the subject.

Tod Sloan PilOted Ihr ee w ell Backed Choices
 to Victory.
La Parasseuse Won the Kin dergarten Event at Odds
 of 40 to 1.
Harry ThOburn Suffered Defeat-Lord Marnaion Landed His Race Very
 Handily.

It was dull day at Ingleside yester- day and picking winners was precart- ous vocation. Tod Sloan appeared to good advantage again, piloting three winners past the finishing post first, all heavily backed choices in the ring, and they were the only favorites that did earn brackets.
 Atkin & Lottrige sprung a surprise in the two-year- event with La Parasseuse, against which as good as 20 to 1 was at one time laid. The Elm peror of Norfolk lilly with ClaWsOn in the saddle led her field from the jump. and ridden out at the wire downed EzelIs Don't Tell a head. Winifred. the to favorite, piloted by Tod Sloan, finished in the show.
 In the six furlong sprint which fol- lowed Sloan was more successful. He threw his leg over the z to favorite Newsgatherer, and, not making his move until the stretch was reached, won driving, a head before the 20 to outsider Fig Leaf. Lodestar ran a smashing good race, ending up in the show.
 Sloan repeated the trick on Lord Marnion in the six furlong sprint next QeclOeO. 1nS MChdHuS SIllIy " dS dIl even money favorite throughout the betting, and in front all the way won easily from Glorian. The best the sec ond choice, Torsida, could do was to finish third.
 Tulare with Wally Weaver up ruled a slight favorite over Del Paso in the betting on the mile selling event. Long prices were laid against the other start CTS. It proved an easy thing for the latter horse, which shook his field off early in the running and led .Claudius past the judges with considerable to spare Tulare landed in the show.
 It looked as though Won't Dance had fallen heir to purse in the mile affair fifth on the card, but the mare had to run some to win. Ballister had speed for half the distance, when Sloan shook the favorite up and at the end was urged along to beat Odds On less than a length iii 1:4112. Bonita, the second choice, interfered with consider ably, was third.
 The talent fell hard over the result of the final seven furlong run, decided under selling conditions. Harry Tho burn was sent to the post a to ? favorite. while Meadow Lark with Tod Sloan was equally as well backed at a shade longer price. When the barrier was released, the latter and Sutton were left at the post. Harry Thoburn led until the final sixteenth, where he was passed by both Robair and Miss Lynah the ffrst-named horse ' to l shot, winning in a drive by head.

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter Of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that IL
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unscttle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health Is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
In every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrh9a. /
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. ! now wish to say that 1 never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrh9a. 1 hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

corded in Numbers N:29. And Moses
said unto HObad =, come thou
with us and we will do thee good ="
He spoke shortly of the early life
of the deceased and his later career,
of his trustworthiness and Christian
character. In drawing a possible par
allel between the deceased and Hobad,
the speaker said Moses invitation was
human. Gods invitation is divine.
one was asked to go to an early Can
aan. The departed had been given a
heavenly invitation. Hobad was
marching with Israel, we moved
toward Heaven. They went to a
strange land, God had taken the de-
ceased home where friends should
meet him hereafter.
