A WORD ON FRUITS.
They Are to Be Partaken Of With Jude-
 ment and Discretion.

ment and Discretion.
 The bountiful earth brings forth fruits in their seasons. They are whole some. but should be eaten with the sauce of discretion.
 The apple is at the head of the list. It is more easily digested than any other fruit But the skin should al- ways be discarded, for 1t irritates the bowels.
 Fresh figs are good, but dried ones should always be carefully cooked.
 Crate the pineapple, or cut it into tiny bits, for it's fiber is tough, and re- sists the juices in the stomach.
 The common banana is a deceptive thing, and children should never be all lowed to eat 1t raw. Baked bananas are highly praised.
 Never should the skin of any fruit be swallowed. The skin is an armor for the pulp. It is as unfit for food as a piece of chalk is
 Whenever you have eaten underripe or overripe fruit and feel sharp, dart ing pains in the gastric region, you will find prompt relief in Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, taken in little warm water.
 It is supremely important that the sickness caused by bad fruit should be treated at once. The value of a good whiskey in bowel troubles is urged by the leaders in the medical profession
 Duffy's Pure Malt is absolutely free from harmful matter, as chemical tests prove.

DR. DUNN ASKED TO PAY HALF
 OF THE LOSSES.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

s0S Broadway, June 27.
 The spirit of the war has made itself felt in the doctors block at Twelfth and Broadway. This afternoon pr. P. h. Woolsey filed a suit which shows that the long standing friendship between him and pr. J. H. P. Dunn, health officer ana surgeon of the Fifth Infantry, has ended.
 Dr. Woolsey desires pr. Dunn to pay him S15S4 45, which he declares is due as the result of their mutual losses in try ing to act as joint landlords of the build ing where they have so long done busi- ness.
 In December. 1891. pr. Woolsey leased the upper portion of the building, and did very well as sole lessee until August. 1895. In the latter year Dr. Dunn thought it would be to his advantage to go in partnership with Dr. WoOlsey. The two doctors agreed, and at once went into the business of of1ce-leasing. Dr. Woolsey was to pay $50 for his handsome offices, Dr. Dunn was to pay $i0. The business went along for year or two, and Dr. Woolsey paid the money on the lease reg ularly, but, according to his complaint, he did not collect as regularly from his partner.
 About three months ago the partners had a quarrel and submitted the matter to several attorneys and it was patched up More recently the patriotic spirit has struck the doctors, and~as a result the building at Twelfth and Broadway Is par italy deserted and will probably be more so before long. Dr. Travers has gone to war; Dr. Ludlow has also gone; pr. Ham lin Is hoping to get away every week, while pr. Dunn is considerably annoyed that he was not appointed surgeon of the Eighth California Volunteers. This pros pect of having empty offices on hand has evidently forced the issue, for Dr. Wool sey states that pr. Dunn is liable for his own unpaid office rent and half the losses in addition
 pr. Dunn, it appears, is $12O behind with his rent, and pr. Woolsey alleges that since the partnership was formed he has According to this view view of the hl5- case pr. 5p. Dunn is liable altogether for sl534 II legal ability can secure the payment of easy. for his attorneys are Messrs, Reed & Nusbaumer, while W. w Foote, George ". Baker and Hart H.

HER EYE MoURNs DEAD LOVE
Mike Sullivan's Former Sweetheart
 Punished for Politeness.

Maggie Lucas doesn't dust a chair for Mike Sullivan any more and Mike won't move his trunk up to the Lucas resi- de1 ce.
 Instead of betting her erstwhile sweet heart and addressing him with endearing epithets, Maggie nurses her wrath and pets a black eye, while Mike cools his heels this morning in the anteroom of Judge Mogan'S court, awaiting sentence for battery, and all because there's an other man on earth and Maggie bowed to him.
 Sullivan is lineman for the telephone company, and owing to his monopolistic connections didn't want any other man to walk on the same side of the street with his best girl, so when he took Maggie out to enjoy the beauties of the evening last Sunday he registered such an em- phatic objection to Maggte'S recognition of a male acquaintance that the love ana friendship heretofore existing died and Maggie's eye put on mourning for the lost feeling.
 As the object of the bow from the young lady was a man Sullivan felt that 1t was much safer to exercise his strength and display his displeasure on the girl whom he was ready to swear to love, cherish and protect, hence his appearance in the Police Court and the absence of his hat from the Lucas hall tree.
 His picture has been replaced by copy of the order of conviction for battery which was rendered yesterday.

CONSTABLE HITCHCOCK
 IS NOT A SCHEMER
DENIES THAT HE SHOOTS TO
 CREATE FEAR.
Residents at Piedmont Start Rumors That May Be Ventilated in an
 Action for Damages.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

SoS Broadway, June 27.
 Some of the residents of Piedmont and Deputy Constable Hitchcock are just now engaged in a controversy which pos sesses many unique features. At pres ent the residents, headed by Richard Garnett, are talking among themselves and occasionally to the newspaper men, while MT. Hitchcock is talking to law yers, and hints at the possibility of dam age suits.
 Hitchcock is a Deputy Sheriff and spe- cial officer at Piedmont. He depends for his salary upon the voluntary payments of the residents of his territory. Some of these residents do not think they are in need of any special protection, and they are conveying the impression that Mir. Hitchcock is attempting to impress them with the idea that such protection is a necessity if they value their lives and property. On several occasions with in the past three months stray shots have been heard around the vicinity of MT. GarRett's house. The morning after the shooting, so it is said, Mir. Hitchcock goes around to collect. 4 few days ago MT. Garnett reported to the police that an attempt had been made to shoot him by a big fellow, who escaped when Gar nett went to the door, Hitchcock be- lieves that Garnett intended to convey the impression that he did the shooting, and has consulted Attorneys Reed SS Nus baumer about the matter.
 The general impression among some of the residents Is that lllC lIlllS IS NOlle dS a riise to make it appear that burglars and other desperate characters are around, and that special protection is necessary. Hitchcock indignantly denies this suggestion, and took two little boys before the Chief of Police who stated that they were responsible for the shoot ing by exploding some torpedoes Car nett and his neighbors scout any such theory and declare that they have heard genuine shots, and believe that they are the victims of a ruse more than of des- perate characters.
 Hitchcock declares that Garnett is op- posing him because he has asked for a small contribution toward supporting the special officer. He denies all insinuations and says that at the time Garnett re- norts he heard the shooting and saw the faI man disappear over his back fence he was over a mile from the place. The matter is being investigated and is creat- ing great interest in Piedmont. Many of the residents are prepared to support Hitchcock's s character, while some are ,,ot nositive in their own minds as to the hest course to pursue.

ONE IS INSTANTLY KILLED
DRIVER SCHLEUTER ESCAPES
 BY BEING THROWN our.
Runaway at Fruitva1e Caused by a Wheel Breaking From a Heavy Wagon and Startling the
 Horse.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 A runaway team attached to a heavy wagon dashed into a freight train at Fruitvale tonight and the life of the driver was only saved by his being thrown out before the collision.
 The team consisted of a pair or heavy horses drawing a large covered wagon owned by the Grand Rule Bazaar. It was being driven by Tunnie Schleuter, son Of the proprietor of the bazaar, boy about 20 years of age The wagon was return ing from Fruitvale and young Schleuter had driven little out of his way toward Alameda. He turned and was approach ing the railroad track when the freight train was coming westward
 Schleuter was about to rein in his horses when one of the rear wheels of the wagon came off This caused the animals to bolt. Schleuter saw his danger and pulled with all his might, but was unable to control the horses, who rushed wildly toward the train. The train was rapidly approaching and the animals were headed directly for the locomotive.
 The driven held on with all his might and bravely tried to avoid the collision that seemed to be inevitable. When about a hundred feet from the train, which was flying toward the wagon end on, young Schleuter was thrown out and this alone saved his life. The horses went on, and a few seconds later the locomotive struck the team.
 The crash was so great that one horse was instantly killed and the other badly bruised. The pilot of the engine was em- bedded in the animals carcass. The wagon was thrown to one side and smashed to pieces, the wreck covering the animal that was not killed by the side of the track.
 The driver was picked up and with the exception of some bruises and scratches he is not hurt, and his escape Is consd- cred a miracle. Had he been thrown on the track he would not have had time to crawl off before the train was upon him.
 Harry Asher was thrown from wagon tonight and taken to the hospital suffer ing from concussion of the brain, but h. will recover.
