There is a cure for Drunkenness that has shed radiance into thousands of hitherto des- oate hresdes. It does its work so silently and stealthiIy that while the devoted wife. sister or daughter looks on, the drunkard is reclaim ed even against hls will and without his knowledge or cooperation. The discoverer of this grand remedy, pr. Haines. will send a sample of the remedy to all who will write for it. Enough of the remedy Is mailed free to show how it is used in tea coffee or food and that 1t will cure the dreaded habit quietly and permanently.
 The effort of a devoted wife In Mt. Airy. N C., that saved her husband from the terrors of alcohol is well worth recording. She se- cured remedy known as Golden Specific, a powder to be mixed with coffee e food and this she secretly and faithfully gave to her husband. In a short time a wonderful change overcame him and she wrote to Dr. Haines follows:
 "I feel 1t my duty to thank you and to thank God for inspiring one with the knowledge to cure that awful habit of drink ing. I am glad to say tonight that my hus- band has not touched any whisky of no kind since the week I got that Golden New Life Gas it should be caIled) for 1t gives new life to anyone.

c. P. HUNTINGTON SPEAKS. Distinctly Denies the Story That He
 Is Opposing the New Charter

A story has been printed that c. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific Company, is fighting the new charter for San Francisco. The Call, deeming it advisable to ascertain If the story had any foundation in fact, sent a reporter to interview the railroad president on the topic.
 It was some little time before Mir Huntington comprehended the meaning of the questions addressed to him. He said that he did not know that a charter was pending and certainly had no mo- ton of opposing a measure before he understood its provisions. He remarked: ''I have had no consultation with MT. Herrin or any other officer of the com pany on this subject. Any charter that is agreeable to the voters of San Fran cisco will suit the railroad company. If property interests generally are pro- tected by the pending charter, l presume railroad property will share in the gen. eral measure of protection. The people of San Francisco evidently understand the provisions of the proposed organic act for the government of the city. I do not understand that there is proposi- uon pending to impair vested rights or confiscate property. l apprehend that 1 would be apprised of the fact if the charter threatened to destroy property. You can say distinctly that I have had no conference with MT. Herrin or any one else connected with the company in the matter of opposing or supporting the proposed charter. The subject has not been discussed or brought forward in any form for consideration by the repre- sentatives of the Southern Pacific We can live under laws agreeable to other prOperty-owners.
 Mir. Herrin of the law department of the company was interviewed on the same topic. He denied without hesita- tion or qualification that he was oppos- ing the charter. He remarked: q have had no conference on the subject of the charter with C. P. Huntington. I have not consulted with any of my associates in the company on the subject The topic has not been discussed in my pres ence and expression of my views as an individual citizen has not been solicited l"

"SINRADo AT
 THE TIVOLE

The Tivoli commenced its silly season last night with the new Easter piece, "Sinbad. the Sailor" a typical Tivoli burlesque, with everybody's music and nobodys plot and no end of pictures, dances, nonsense and noise. It Is the pol icy of the management to put on such productions at regular intervals and the policy of it's patrons to patronize them handsomely-and as "Sinbad" is quite as elaborately and expensively gotten up as any of it's predecessors, and the cast long one and a strong one, it is easy to anticipate a popular run. Last night s performance, in spite of the inevitable jerks and drags of an opening, was hi- Tariously received by an audience that crowded the doormat for space. After once complimenting several of the scenic sets, the costumes, the ballet and the ever trusty chorus the applause all goes to the individual speciality work of the perform CTS. who are the bulk of the entertain ment. Turn follows turn with breathless rapidity and in somewhat tactful va riety The spoken lines of the piece proper hardly ever are in evidence, which is doubly good thing, since what little there is of straight dialogue is even worse than the usual Tivoh product.
 Of the big cast Carrie Roma, Edwin Stevens Thomas Leary and Bob Mitch ell enjoyed particular prominence. MT. Leary, as Tinbad the Tailor, insisted on his by rather more noise than was vital; MT. Mitchells was thrust upon him by two-thirds of the audience, who, having come in the capacity of personal friends and admirers, were not to be dissuaded merely because the management had been so shortsighted as not to supply Bob" with a large, plump part.
 Mr. Mitchell and MT. Branson are cast as a team of tax collectors and general utility comedians, and they have small chance of glory until in the latter part of the second act, when they sing cap- ital comic duet. When MT. Mitchell s opportunity finally did arrive he parted with his nervousness and met it admira- bly,, singing and dancing with the easy humor and genial personality that have long stood him in valuable stead. After all there is but little difference between a good amateur and a good professional. In responsibilities no greater than his in "Sinbad" MT. Mitchell does not need the applause of personal friendship to point his success.
 MT. Stevens is an Irish mariner this time, and entirely unlike himself in any other personation. In singing the "Bogie Man" he misses that mystical effect which Norman used to give the song through hurryiug it. and his .invisi- ble drill'' scene is not worth the while; but bar these. and Captain Paul Jones O'Scuttle is the best thing he. has done in many day.

He, however, IS enthusl- astic over the outlook and applauds the work done in the past. To make the assurance of success doubly sure he mas worked most indefatigably night ana day, and is still laboring to create an enthusiasm in the public mind for the noble purpose for which the coming fes- tival is being planned.
 Ut is pleasing" he said yesterday, Tn discussing the probable outcome Of his efforts, ito see with what good will our labor is being appreciated. Not only is the entire Masonic fraternity with us, but the entire city, and l may say, the State is in harmony with our project"
 Tt takes up a great deal of time" he continued, "and there are thousands Of other things to attend to, still as long as it is for so worthy cause l feel sure that no one grudgeS the services they are giving. It is one of the tenetS of Masonry to look after and care for the widows and the orphans; and it seems to members generally that the completion of the Decoto Home will enable us to do our duty in more sat- isfactory way than we can otherwise accomplish it."
 As chairman of the executive com mittee MT. Patton has directed the matter of placing before the lod~es in the interior the pr, feet in its various aspects. One of the most pleasing fea- lures of festival week will be the re- newing of acquaintanceships, and as ii is certain that many visitors will come to the city fro.-l the interior towns dur ing the fete, it has been Patton's ain to assure the country members thor oughly hospitablc reception and week of gayety in which there shall be nc disturbing incidents.

Although Mckinley has consented to talk to the citizens of California In this novel way he will not, however, talk in the photograph for few days, as his whole thoughts are at present concen- trated on national affairs.
 The photograph has been loaned to the Masons by the Pacific Telephone Company and will be sent to Washing ton at the expense of the company.
 Charles L. Patton, a leading member of the Masonic order and firm worker for the success of the festival, in dis cussing the authenticity of the answer made by Mckinley, confirmed the re- port by producing the telegraphic reply which was written by Mckinley and sent across the continent.
 Another feature of the festival will be a speech on the disaster of the Maine by Captain Sigsbee.
 The preliminary work for the fete which is to be held in this city next month in aid of ~ Masonic Widows and Orphans Home, situated at De- coto is about completed. The organi- zation. to all appearances, is complete, and the work of preparation is pro- gressing in a steady and thoroughly satisfactory way. The principal bur den has naturally devolved on the members of the executive committee who. without exception, have responded to the calls that have been made on the time that should have been de- voted to other work. They are as rule occupied with business and pri- vate affairs, but, in order to insure the success of the undertaking, they have very generously allowed private inter- ests to become entirely secondary to the affairs of the festival.
