POSTUM CEREAL.
THREE COFFEE WRECKS,
Plain Facts Worth Considering.

Plain Facts worth COnSlueIHhS'
For the past six years, up to twelve
months ago, 1 was perfect wreck and
slave TO coffee. 1t kept me IN pros
trated condition continually.
Gradually my heart became affected
and I suffered intense pain in the leIt
side and over the region of the heart.
Every now and then had nervous
-spells that laid me up for weeks at
time. I was also troubled with short
ness of breath whenever exerted my
self in any way.
couId not lie on my left side and my
sleep was broken with severe pains
and smothering sensations. The doc
tor told me that it was coffee drinking.
put myself under his treatment but
did not leave off the coffee, and as
obtained no help, became respondent
and gloomy.
Rv chance I learned of the Postum
Food Coffee, and concluded I would
try and quit the coffee habit and use
Postum. After a weeks time 1 felt
greatly improved, and continued using
the Postum and am still using it. My
appetite returned to me and gradu-
aIIv regained my health and strength,
and am now as well and hearty as L
ever was. l have had no return OF my
heart trouble since using Postum.
I do not understand that Postum is
in any way medicine, but that 1t Is
food. whereas the ordinary coffee is a
very powerful drug, as shown IN my
case and many others.
Two of my near neighbors We're ad-
dicted to coffee, and it treated them
much as it did me. They are Mrs. M.
N. Powell and Mrs. Mary Pitts.
When they found what change had
been made in me by leaving off coffee
and using Postum, they threw away
their old coffee pots. got 9t.f.3Ia some new new
first time they tried it they did not
like it very well, but they soon found
that they had not allowed it to boil
long enough. Now they are TWO as
healthy ladies as you ever saw, rosy
and well; their physical aches and ills
all gone. They sleep and eat well ana
seem TO enjoy life better than they ever
did before. Mrs. Emma Harris, Paris
Miss.

Heavy Damages.

Suit was filed yesterday by J. A. Camp
bell and 2. A. Wilberg against G.. II. Umb-
sen & Co. to recover $13, 900 damages and
$500 paid on account of a purchase, the
damages being sought for certain alleged
fraudulent acts and representations on
the part of the defendants corporation.
1t is averred by the plaintiffs that on
the 18th ult. the defendants falsely and
fraudulently and in bad faith represent
ed that they had full power to sell to the
plaintiffs for the price of $4,000 a piece
of property on the southwest corner of
Washington street and Dunbar alley. An
agreement was drawn up between the
parties and $500 was paid to the defendants
by the plaintiffs as a part of the pur-
chase price. Subsequently, it is alleged,
the plaintiffs have, offered to pay the bal
ance due, but the defendants refuse to de-
liver them a deed of conveyance
The plaintiffs also assert that they have
been Informed that the defendants had
no power or authority to sell the proper
ty, or even to agree to convey it. For
these reasons they seek to recover dam
ages in the amount stated and the money
already paid out under the alleged fraud
ulent agreement.

~ PHILADELPHIA, March 4. - San
IFrancisCo's fleet of ocean-going mer-
- chant steamers will have three of
the largest and best appointed yes
= sells of their class ever seen in the
Pacific added to its number before
1900 is very old.
The steamers are to be built for the
Oceanic Steamship Company and will re-
place the Australia, now running between
San Francisco and Honolulu, and the AL
anleda and Mariposa, now on the run be-
tween San Francisco and Sydney, n. S.
W, via Honolulu, II. /, Apia. Samoa, and
Auckland, \. Z.
The new steamers will be 5000 tons gross
burden, or nearly a thousand tons big
ger than the China of the Pacific Mail
Company's fleet. At the present time the
China is the largest vessel entering the
port of San Francisco, so the dimensions
of the new vessels now contracted for
can be gathered from the following com
parisons:

Of clear glass absorb 10 to 20 per cent OF
glass so TO SO per cent and red glass 70 per
cent. This would not meet the require
ments of street lighting where a uniform
illumination should be attained.
The superintendent also declares that
the fire alarm service would lose its pc
culiar and striking beacon if electric
lights are used, as they are usually placed
so high above the plane of ordinary vision
as to be useless for the purpose of box

The new vessels will have double bot
toms and Watertight compartments.
They will each have two sets of triple
expansion engines, which will develop 5000
horsepower, and twin screws will drive
the vessels at seventeen knots an hour.
The China has magnificent cabin accom-
mediation, but her second-class quarters
could easily be improved upon. The new
Japanese steamers America Maru, Hong
kong Maru and Nippon Maru are away
ahead of the China in this respect,
but even these new steamers will not be
able to compare with the fliers now under
way for the Oceanic Steamship Company.
These will accommodate 175 first class. $50
second class and 100 steerage passengers,
and in each section the comfort of travel
ers will be better looked after than on any
vessel ever seen on the Pacific.
