THE late bishop of London was the
author OF the saying which at one
time drew the wrath of all the women
down upon his head. He was a great
club man, lunching every day at the
Athenaeum. One day, on being asked
to define club, he answered: "a
place where women cease from troub-
ling and the wicked are at rest

may be almost safely set down
as wanting red in her blood.
Ifsubject to dizziness, fainting,
shortness of breath on slight
exertion, no doubt remains.
To want red in the blood is
to fail of the good of ones food.
Her food is not nourishing her.
She needs change.
The easiest change she can
get, and one of the best, is
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver

FO0TLIGHT FLASHES.

Next Door," with the Brothers
Roger as the principals, was seen and
to all appearances appreciated by an
audience that filled Harper's theatre
last night. The play is on the order
of Eight Bells. calling for num-
Der of acrobats to carry out the
rough-and-tumble pantomime. while
singers and dancers drop in at inter.
walls to break the monotony.
This evening Sevengala opens
a 5-night engagement at Harper's
theatre. The Daily Paragraph of
Urichsville, O., said of him: THE
exhibition of Prof. Sevengala of his
wonderful powers of hyPnotism is
very mystifying to all who witness
them. But his greatest feat is the
transmission of thought by telepathy,
which seems impossible until wit
messed by oneself. The question of
hypnotism is much discussed one,
and all disbelievers in its existence
shonld witness one of this mans ex-
hibitions, which will at once convince
him that he has been behind the times
in his beliefs. Like all other powers
of the brain it is unexplainable, ex-
cept as to results produced, but it's
existence is an established fact, &C
knowledged by every scientist of the
day."
In Chicago, Mr.. Brooke and his ia
nous Marine band are engaged for
every thing of a sufficiently preten-
tious nature to require such a band,
such as the annual charity ball given
at the Auditorium under the leader
ship of Mrs. Potter Palmer; and the
great demonstrations on Chicago day,
that of October 9th. 1896, being prob
ably the largest and finest civic pa
rade ever given in America, with
ITO, 600 men in line, representing the
wealth, influence and enterprise of
the west, the world famous heads of
many of Chicago's greatest business
firms being personally present, march
ing in the ranks, and Brooke and his
band in the place of honor at the head
Of the line. The B. P. o. Elks expect
to hang out the standing room only
Syn long before O'Clock tomorrow
evening at the Burtis. Seats can be
secured in Rock Island at Bowlby's
music store.
No minstrel street parade has ever
approached for novelty and magnitude
the pageant which Al G. Field puts on
this season. Horsemen and footmen,
gaily uniformed bandsmen, waving
plumes and banners, minstrels and
mamelukes, all blend in one line an
inspiring spectacle which gives an
idea of the performance of the Al G..
Field greater minstrels. The head of
the column is taken by II swarthy |
mamelukes, mounted on superb Arab |
ian horses and bedecked in the gaudy |
and picturesque costumes of the far
away orient. During the parade they |
give an exhibition of their curious |
style of horsemanship, witch in itself
is well worth seeing. Behind come

COMPANIES ARE LIABLE

The jury in the case of Choy Look See
yesterday afternoon returned a verdict
for the plaintiff in the sun of 81. 900,
the amount of the policy on account of
which she sued the Royal Insurance
Company. The decision of the case ap-
plies to many others, and if it is sus-
tanned will result in a number OF in
Surance companies having to pay dam
ages that would otherwise come be-
fore the court of claims.
The policy of the Royal Insurance
Company issued to Choy Look See
contained the clause declaring that the
company should not be responsible foI
any damages caused directly or indi-
rectly by any order of a civil autho-
rity." The verdict of the jury yester-
day afternoon was in effect that the
destruction of the plaintiffs buildings
was not caused by the order of the
board of health to destroy block 49, but
by a sudden unexpected change of
wind which sent the fire from block
10 all over Chinatown. The same state
of facts applies to all the property des-
troyed in the great Chinatown fire, eX-
ceptng only that which was included
in the board of health's order to burn.
Some property however, had already
been condemned, and it is said that the
insurance companies will fight on the
ground that such condemnation made
it valueless.
The jury in the Choy Look See case
were about six hours i'm reaching ver-
dict. The issue submitted upon the
testimony was whether the order of the
board of health, or a sudden rise of
wind, caused the destruction of the
property, and the jurors decided that
the wind was the cause.
The decision will prove disastrous to
many insurance companies. There are
nineteen suits against various COM
panies on this terms calendar of the
Circuit Court. Thirteen were recently
discontinued. on account of a Supreme
Court decision that those who lost
property could not recover under poll
cies having the civil authority clause,
if the loss was caused by order of civil
authorities. In the case that ended
yesterday Magoon and Thompson.
plaintiffs attorneys, successfully took
a new tack in declaring the wind to
have been the cause of the loss.
The case will be appealed. Attorney
Robertson for the defense took a num-
ber of exceptions To the judges in
structions to the jury and the matter
will be speedily brought before the
Supreme Court. If the lower court is
sustained the result will be a large
saving to the territory in claims before
the court of claims and heavy loss t.
half a dozen fire insurance companies.
Under the recent Supreme Cont de-
cision thirteen suits that might have
been successful, in view of Yesterday g
result were withdrawn.

Joseph S. Spear, Jr., surveyor of the
Port of San Francisco was a Passenger
on the Hong Kong Mart for Che Orient,
accompanied by Mrs Spear. They VIII
remain in Japan and China Scver;A
weeks visiting the various places of in
terest and on their return to San Fran
cisco will stop off here a week as. the
guests of James Dougherty, the son of
Mrs. Spear.
You hear practically nothing" said
Mr.. Spear, about politics now, except
local politics. There is a little talk
however about the successor to Presi-
dent Mckinley. Funston is mentioned
by very few. Roosevelt receives very
little mention. The most of the talk
seems to be about Senator Fairbanks of
Indiana. 1t is too far ahead now to
make any prediction for one cannot
tell what will happen in three years.
"The visit of President Mckinley to
the Coast was a most happy occurrence.
Never before have 1 seen man so able
to make friends Even those opposed
to him in politics were most prOmi-
nent in doing him honor. In spite of
Mrs. McKinley's illness he was able to
keep all of his engagements, except the
banquet He told me that at the ban
quets he would meet but a limited
number of people while the other en-
gagements gave him the opportunity of
meeting a vast throng.
There is no talk whatever in Cali
fornia over the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands to that state | talked
with Sam Parker a little on this sub
iect but he does not think any thing
of it. l do not believe that there is
anything in the proposition at all. Ger
tainly the newspapers and pubic are
giving the matter no consideration"
Mr.. Spear left San Francisco on the
END. and the China had not then
reached the Coast Inasmuch as Judge
Humphreys was aboard the China and
was expected to spring his annexation
scheme when he arrived the fact of his
not having gotten to San Francisco
before Mr., Spears departure may ac-
count for the apparent apathy of the
newspapers on the annexation subject
The first mail from the Coast next week
will, no doubt, bring something more
definite in the matter
