who has been for many years closely
in touch with the trade, states that the
rapid revival of all lines of business mas
been a revelation to him. The sales or
the Pinkham remedies, which are al
most exclusively to women, have peen
larger during the six months of 1889
than ever before in the history of the
company. Advertising agencies pos
sibly feel the quickening pulse of bust

the country, and Mr.. WetherOld is of
the opinion that all the leading agen-
cies. and particularly that OF Petunglli

patronage into reliable publications the

SUSPECT THE WIFE.
Detectives Think That Mrs. B. F.
Fuller Stole Her Husbands
Money While He SleDt

Detectives Dinan and Reynolds are of
the opinion that the wife of B. F. Fuller,
who was robbed of $1700 in the Winchester
House, corner of Third and Stevenson
streets, on Thursday night, is implicated
in the robbery. The couple have left the
city and are supposed to have gone north
Fuller, it will be remembered, on retiring
left two packages of money in the pock-
cts of his coat. When he arose in the
morning they were gone. He subsequent
ly found one package, containing $500
upon the steps of the fire escape. Fuller
was also inclined to think that his wife
had something to do with the robbery.
He remembered that she got out of bed
about o'clock in the morning, but he
did not think anything of 1T at the time
The detectives believe that the woman
had a confederate on the outside, who
was possibly a former husband, named
Hill. They think that she threw the
money out to this confederate and that
one of the packages fell on the fire
escape Despite his doubts Fuller SAYS
that he still loves his wife. He IS about
thirty years older than the woman.

that he had been falsely accused and that
he had not been given a fair trial by the

the original committee that investigated
the charges. 1t was remarked that Rob-.

committee room ever since his dismissal.

Grand Marshal, and was apparently run

MISSION CLUBS.
An Independent Celebration at
Glen Park Decided On.

i.
The 4, Mission Federation OF Improve
ment Clubs at a meeting last night at
Fairmount Hall decided to cut loose from
the Fourth of July committee and have a
celebration Of its own on the Fourth of
July at Glen Park.
The reason assigned by the executive
committee of the federation for this step
was what Chairman Guss Schnee charac-
teriZed in his remarks as the unWarrant-
ed action of the general committee Of the
Fourth of July celebration. The execu-
tive comittee Of the federation had sub
scrbed $1S7 on the positive understanding
that there would be fireworks in Glen
Park. This agreement was violated. and
the pyrotechnic display was shifted to
other quarters more congenial to those
ments. Not to be outdone In giving the
Mission people a display the committee
has made full arrangements for a
day and night entertainment on its own
account. There will be a ball, pyrotech-
mic display and other sources Of amuse-
ments for all, free of charge.
electric lights distributed throughout the
grounds which will make the place as
light as day during the entire night.
Having disposed Of the Fourth to the
ton proceeded to the election Of it's off,

following result: President. Christ Sta

The sprinkIing Of the outside roads was
again brought up by Delegate A. s. Lii
lie, who stated that something should be
done by which our outside roadways
might be made at least halfway decent
for persons driving in and out Of the city
to San Mateo. DR.. E. n. Torello, presi-
dent of the Five-Mile House Improvement
Club, stated that the sprinkling question
was an imposslbility in consequence Of
there being no hydrants along the way
