THE ZEALANDIk AGAIN
IN TRANSPORT SERVICE
WILL CARRY WAR MUNITIONS
TO MANILA.
Continuance of the Oceanic Steamship
Australia in Her Old Hawaiian
Island Run.

The Government has again called into
service the Oceanic Steamship Company's S
Zealandia for transport duty between San
Francisco and Manila. 1t will be remem-
bered that this vessel was used by the
War Department last year and was re-
leased from that duty at the close of hos
tilities with Spain. However, the need of
replacing the volunteer forces in the Phil
ippines with the regular regiments and
the transportation of horses mules and
large consignments of munitions of war
to. Manila have necessitated the re-
employment OF several steamships.
The Zealandia by reason of her size and
roomy construction was found to be
amply fitted for transport duty and was
Immediately chosen for the service. 1t
was the intention of the Oceanic Com
pany to put the steamer on the Honolulu
run in place of the Australia, as the con-
stant work of the latter vessel in her
steady seven-day passages between this
port and the islands has necessitated a
lay-off for repairs. The Australia will nee
essarily continue on the island service till
the return of the Zealandia, or until some
other steamer relieves her.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.
Men Have Become Tired of Waiting
for the Re-establishment of the
State SoldierY.

Another week has passed without any
definite result looking to the re-establiSh-
ment of the National Guard of the State.
The only thing toward that end has been
the placing of the Dickinson bill on the
special file of the Senate. The men who
had signified their intention some time
ago of entering the service have taken on
a huge disgust, and it is doubtful II one
third of those who declared their inten-
ton of becoming State soldiers would
now shoulder musket.
For many weeks scarcely company
except the Signal Corps of the Second
Brigade and the Naval Militia has held
meeting, and a reason for this is that
there are no officers and no. arms with
which to drill. A member Of the guard,
referring to this condition of affairs. said
Yesterday: "Just see what condition
the State is in now. There is company
of good men at San Rafael, but 1t is use.
less, not having an armory nor stack Of
arms. Supposing the proposed break at
San Quentin had been successful what
protection would, the people OF Marin arm
County have had against mob OF des-
perate prisoners? If the company at the
place named had been in proper condltlon
it would have been of great value TO the
officers of the county, but the men of the
company would have been only valuable
as individuals, and there you are. 1t Is
about time that something was done to
put the guard into active SERVICE again.
It is to be hoped that there viii not be
any need for the services OF the NatlonaI
Guardsmen, but it would be wise to be

BOZICH THREW AWAY
THE GOLD OF LIFE
SUICIDE OF A DEMENTED SLA-
WOMAN MINER.
Placed a Mirror Between His Knees
to Take Good Aim, and Shot
Himself.

Bozo Bozich, a Slavonian miner, shot
himself in the head yesterday morning or
Friday night in his room at 272 Brannan
street. Although undoubtedly insane he
made his preparations for death with the
greatest care and delberation. He took
the mattress off his bed and laid 1t on
the floor. Then he sat on 1t, placed
small mirror between his knees SO as to
take better aim, placed to his head the
muzzle of the suicides dellght-a cheap
American bulldog-pulled the trigger and
died instantly.
The lodging-house in which Bozich
killed himself is kept by a Slavonian
named Joe Gallovich. The deceased not
making his appearance for breakfast, Joe
entered his room at 10 o'clock and found
the CORY corpse cold and rigid in death.
found the following notes, written in
Slavonian:
Brothers, no friends. no enemies; they blame
me, but God will judge them. Good-by, world,
and moon. Good-by home; good-by dear
Joe. BOZ.
A policeman was looking for me; 1 don't
know why I am here. I lived nine years
here and never have been in JAIL nor have
any Of my relatives. Enemies! I'd sooner
die than have policeman take me to Jail.
Bozich came from the country about a
week ago and took a room in Gallovichs s
house. Nothing is known as to his ante
cedents or relatives. Thrty-seven dol
lars cash found in his pockets were turned
over to the Coroner.
The body was taken to the Morgue.

WORKED TO DEATH.
The Mother of a Family of Small
Children Suddenly Taken Away.

In order to save herself, her husband and
her three little children from starvation,
Mrs. Angela Tett of 12B Oak Grove ave-
nue. worked herself to death.
At noon yesterday while engaged in fin
ishing a dress on her sewing machine she
sank back into her chair and breathed her
last
When Coronetr Hill arrived at the resi-
dence he found the bereaved husband,
Henry Tett, almost distracted, and the
children, the Oldest of whom is only four
years Of age. hanging over the dead body
and begging her to speak to them.
The family came from Niles SIs = in this
employment the husband performed the
household duties while his wife, an expert
dressmaker, worked for the small pittance
that barely kept soul and body together
She was only 29 years old, but her short
life had been one of toll and sorrow.
There was not dime in the house when
death visited the self-sacrificing wife and
mother, and unless charitable hands are
interposed she will be buried as a pauper
by the city undertaken.

readily agreed to, with the added induce
ment of $5O00 which is deposited in a San
Francisco bank, to be paid Healer Truth
when the gentleman was able to see
again, which he confidently expects to
do within the time agreed upon. The gen.
tleman, in conversation with a reporter,
said he did not want his name mentioned
until he was cured. A substantial proof
of what Healer Truth is doing in our
city will be found in the cases given be-
low.
Mr. William H. Barden of AL Geary
street swore before Justin Gates, IA Nc
Allister street, notary public in and for
the city and county of San Francisco,
State of California, that he was cured OF
morphine habit of nine years; also rheu-
matism and one blind eye. Mrs. Mary
Barden. his wife, swore that above is
true. Mr. Gilbert Mansfield. 2S9 Valen-
cia street, a noted music teacher, was
cured of nervous prostration and trou-
bles of twenty years standing. Mrs.
Nettie H Cuddeback, 1913 East Twenty

was able to go without any and go to
work. Mrs V E. Phillips of Reno. New,
cured of paralysis of left side.
Mr. Frank A. Bemis, city, was cured OF
organic weakness and loss of vitality.
Miss Dora Gordemeyer, 591 O'Farrell
street, city, was deaf; could not hear her
self talk; was losing power of speech; is
cured. Mrs. J. NJ. Brooke's daughter of
Fresno is cured of rupture, nervousness
and eye disease. Miss Maggie Galewan,
city, lost her voice; cured in three treat
ments. A lady strained her jaw so she
could not eat without pain; cured in one
week. The cures which are made at a
distance are wonderful in the extreme, as
there seems no limit to the distance the
power can go. Every mail brings re-
ports of cures from all over the country,
made by Healer Truths absent treat
ments, which he gives to all who write
him. His mail keeps two people busy con-
stantly answering questions. DR.. Truth
is treating people all over the East,

COURT WILL NOT ASSIST.
Mrs. Virginia McMulIin Cannot Sc
cure Separate Support.

The Supreme Court has decided that
Mrs. Virginia McMullin is not entitled to
receive maintenance without divorce
from her husband, Thurlow McMullin.
The couple were married in 1871, and six
years later the husband permanently left
home.
In 1894 the wife began an action against
her husband for support, although she did
not desire a legal separation from him
Eighteen months after these proceedings
were begun McMullin made her an offer
to provide her a good comfortable home
in some place of her own selection, and
return to her The woman refused the
offer. and the lower court denied her de-
mand for support
The order was upheld by the higher
court, which sets forth that proceedings
for divorce may be begun one year after
desertion, and adds that 'if prior to the
expiration of such time the party desert
ing returns and offers in good faith to
fulfill the marriage contract and sohcits
condonation the desertion is cured" The
court further believes that the time limit
for those who repent should be extended.
In this, as in many cases, recOnciliations
may be made more as matters of con-
venience, but the law takes the position
that even under such conditions it is bet
ter than to break up families. The order
of the lower court was upheld.

GA LACK OF INTENT"
Charge of Mans1aughter Against As
semblyman Kenneally
Dismissed
Dismissed.

The charge of manslaughter against
Assemblyman Charles f. Kenneally for
causing the death of William Duane, an
old rrinter. on December 90 last, was dis
missed by Judge Mogan yesterday.
In giving his decision the Judge said
one Of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution had materially contrad1cted
his evidence before the Coroner, and be
sides there had been a lack of intent, the
evidence showed that the defendant had
merely showed the old man away from
E!m. and he fell, striking the back of his
head against the curbstone.
The prosecuting witness was not VIM
dictive" and did not evince any disposi-
ton to prosecute the case He was salts
fed that no jury would convict, and
thought 1t would put the city and county
TO needless expense to hold the defendant.

were never turned out Of a shipyard They
have now been in commission nearly
sixteen years, and never had
serious mishap. Year in and year
out they have been making the GOOD
mile run to Sydney and 5000 miles
back to San Francisco with the regularity
of clockwork, and far more punctually
than the trains. According to dispatches
every day, the Western bulletin board
bears the legend, Overland 6, s, IL or "a
hours late"; but the Alameda or Mari
posa never. Wednesday next the Alameda
will be due in San Francisco from the
Southern Seas, and it Will be a safe bet
that she is alongside her wharf at noon
on the Sth inst. If the Cramps were able
to turn out two such vessels in 1888, what
will they be able to do now with their
perfected plant and added experience?
The three new vessels will undoubtedly
be a credit to San Francisco, and will
spread the fame of California among the
Southern Seas.
The San Francisco call., 1899-03-05

The new vessels will, of course, be
lighted with electricity throughout. They
will also have something that has long
been required on steamers in the Austral
asian trade and that is refrigerating
plant. Australia and New Zealand are
large exporters of frozen beef and mutton.
and shipload after shipload is going from
there to Manila to feed the United States
soldiers and sailors. There is demand
for the frozen meat in California, and the
new steamers will meet this demand by
carrying New Zealand mutton to San
Francisco. Five cents a pound is a big
price to pay for mutton in Australia or
New Zealand, while here 1212 cents is con-
sidered cheap.
Besides the frozen meat cargo the
steamers will carry 2500 tons of general
cargo and 20O0 tons of coal in their bunk
ers. They will be built to comply with the
navy regulations and when in service can
be turned into auxiliary cruisers inside of
thirty-siX hours.

TripletS to Be Built at Once t
Alameda, MaripOsa and MOana.

It was originally the intention Of the
Oceanic company to have the steamers
built at the Union Iron Works in San
Francisco. John D. Spreckels, president
of the steamship company, and Irving NJ.
Scott of the iron works held a number of
conferences, but owing to the number of
contracts in hand it was found impossible
to build the vessels in the specified time.
Mr.. Spreckels wants to see the vessels in
commission in March or April, 1900, at the
latest. Mr.. Scott decided that what with
the warships and merchant vessels he
was now at work on and those the works
was under contract to build, it would be
impossible to accept the building of the
three steamers if they had to be complet-
ed in a year. Mr.. Spreckels accordingly
came East last month. and tonight gave
out the news that the contract had been
let to the Cramps.
The Alameda and Mariposa were built
by the Cramps, and two better vessels

ATTORNEY NAGLE's RING.
Mrs. Nellie E. Rodgers, the Pretty
Milliner, Arraigned for Steal
ing It

Mrs. Nellie f. Rodgers. the pretty Geary
street milliner, looked smiling and conf
dent in Judge Mogan's court yesterday
morning when her case was called. She
and Iinforth Attorney c. G. Nagle was
also in court and had an attorney to look
after his interests.
When the complaint was read it was
found that Attorney Nagle in drawing it
up had omitted to insert the letter ''s'' be-
fore the word he, so that Mrs. Rod
Judge ruled that this omission was fatal
to the complaint. but agreed to allow the
necessary alterations to be made and the
defendant was instructed and arraigned
on the charge of stealing Nagle's diamond
ring BY consent the preliminary exam
ination was set for March s.
