Of the ship and Of the men as soon as We

How the World Enjoys Being Hum
plugged.

The story is told Of German practi-
toner who gathered about hundred
bushels of vetch seed in the year 1S4O and
had the seed ground and sifted and put up
IN packages for sale. He called the meal
"Revalenta Arabica.'' and he pronounced
II a sure remedy for indigestion. ~.
The medicine took with the public, so he
had to build warehouses and employ a
large force TO meet the rush OF orders.
The business grew TO huge proportions, but
the owner had falling out with his fore
man and in the quarrel the secret got out
and the bubble collapsed.
''Revalenta Arabica," which sold at a
dollar an ounce readily while the delusion
lasted. made the patients sick at the
stomach as soon as 1T was known to be
meal ground from vetch seed.
In nearly all cough medicines there is
a quantity Of sugar. and II is more than
likely that a good bait of sugar, mixed
with rice or milk. will loosen hoarseness
and soften sore threats, as well as the
many lung specifics which retail at fifty
cents or a dollar a bottle.
When a consumptive is put on cod liver
oil. Il means fat in the abstract. and per-
haps the fat helps to satisfy the microbes
until the patient can recover from the
present strain. The Esquimaux that live
in Arctic regions support life by great
appetite for whale blubber and are almost
immune from tuberculosis.
But the medicine must be put up under
fine names and with a fine price to meet
popular favor.
People with money cross the ocean to
drink and battle in high-priced mineral
waters when there are possibly quite as
many healing waters TO be found nearer
home. The distance adds enchantment
to the view.
It is said that Prince Bismarck had a
big appetite and his bulk after much
feasting gave him sore modification.
Those behind the scenes say his high
priced doctor. used simple remedies. under
high-priced titles. and was paid a king s
ransom by his illustrious patient to bring
down an expansive paunch Perhaps VIM
egar played a prominent part in the
shrinkage.
Lord Byron has been quoted as living on
salads or meat scraps drenched IN vinegar
TO reduce his diameter when 1t interfered
with his dandy appearance.
All the world is a prey to humbuggery
Of one sort or another. but the medicine
craze or mad is the one that holds seat
at the top Of the ladder. II has been said
that drug store can do the biggest busi-
ness for the smallest outlay in money OF
any other style of merchandise. How
much is owing TO the fad for high-sound-
ing names would doubtless prove 10 be
very interesting.

WU's LECTURE WAS
WELL RECEIVED.

WI Ting-Fang. as a Heather China
man." and not as minister plenipotentiary
and envoy extraordinary to the United
States from China, lectured at the Grand
recently on a Comparison of the
Old World Civilization and the New" He
was accorded a welcome which few lee
turers have ever received in this city.
Before taking his seat. Minister WI d.
vested himself of an immense red coat,
which he laid aside. He was attired in
the gorgeous flowing robes of the Chinese,
and wore whot seemed to be an immense
vest, of dark colored silk. From the capa-
cious breast pockets of this vest he drew
a large Chinese fan. a roll of manuscript,
and HIS watch. which, by the way, is an
American open-faced time keeper.
Minister WI arose, bowed, took up his
manuscript, poured out a glass of water,
and then faced the audience. on his head
he wore a black cap. in the forehead of
which was an immense diamond, which
showed up brilliantly on the black back
ground. His hands were clasped behind
his back, and he seldom moved them from
that position during his lecture. He
seemed to be nervous, and was constantly
changing his position. While his accent
is not perfect his command of the Eng
lish language is wonderful. He speaks
with the broken accent OF highly edu-
Gated Frenchman rather than with the
accent usual TO the chinese "hO Iedrn the
American language.
In part Minister Wu's remarks were as
follows:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies' and Gentlemen:

VETERANS SWAMP RAILROADS
Crowd Attending Confederate Reunion
Compel Abandonment of
Freight TrafHc.

DALLAS. Tex. April 21.-The advance
guard of the United Confederate Veterans
reached Dallas at 2 O'Clock last night and
since that hour train after train carrying
old soldiers, their relatives, friends and
sightseers has been rolling into the city to
attend the annual reunion, beginning Tues
day. Estimates made by railroad men are
that at least 150, 900 people will attend. On
several roads freight traffic will be entirely
or partially suspended during the four days
Of the reunion, as there will be little room
for anything but the passenger equipment.
General Gordon, Major General Wheeler
and General Fitzhugh Lee will be in at
tendance. The main body OF the veterans
will be quartered in tents at the fair
grounds, where the reunion exercises will
be held. The principle speeches will be
made on the first day, Tuesday, April 90,
and Private John Allen will be orator Of the
da-.
In the afternoon the Kaliphs parade will
be the feature and the evening will be de-
voted to receptions and a grand ball by the
United Sons of Confederated Veterans. The
second day will be devoted to a business
session. The evening will be given over TO
receptions and the opera. On the third day
the feature will be the veterans parade and
the Grand Kaliph's' ball at the Audi
forum.
Five buffaloes have been secured and will
be served to the veterans in the form Of a
grand barbecue on the closing day.

San Francisco street Railway strike
Made Effective by the
Employees.

SAN FRANCISCO, April San Fran
ciscoans were without the usual facilities
OF rapid transit today, and many walked.
The street railway strike has become eff
%fective. Only three lines we're in operation.
California, Hyde and Union streets. Bust
ness on every line OF the United Railroad
Of Baltimore syndicate, which lately took
over the Market street system. was sus-
pended. The cables. we're running, but
they drew no cars.
During the day a few cars under police
supervision were run over the different
lines Of the system to comply with the
franchise requirements, but no attempt was
made to carry passengers. The only fscil-
ity for travelling over the affected district
was furnished by automobiles and carry
alls. The day passed very quietly.
There were no disturbances around the
various car barns. Both sides to the contro-
yersy held separate conferences during the
day, the results of which have not yet
been made public. The striking employees
were busy enrolling recruits and perfect
ing organization. They we're very confident
that they had the strike won and stated
that 1t would be impossible for the COM
pany to secure enough new men to carry
on business.
During the day there we're various rumors
that the officials of the system we're will
ing to settle on the basis Of a ten-hour day
and "a cents an hour, but held out on the
question OF unionism. The rumors were de-
MED as fast as they we're circulated.
1t was evident, however, that the railway
officers were surprised at the strength de-
veloped by the strikers who claim to have
about 5000 men enrolled.
The company has not yet announced its
plan for breaking the strike, but It is gen
orally anticipated that they will make an
attempt tomorrow to run with the mail
cars as bumpers.
The strike leaders assert that there will
be no attempt to interfere with the mail
cars.
Mayor Schmidtz who was at Sacramento
when the strike was called reached home
today and at once entered into negotiations
with the opposing sides for the purpose of
bringing about an adjustment.
Chief of Police Whitman held a long con-
ference with the mayor during which the
attitude of he police in the controversy
was discussed. Whitman reported that
President Holland of the Union Railway
company had requested him to place four
policemen in each car sent out by the COM
pany with nonunion crews. Whitman de-
clined to entertain the proposition until
after he had consulted with the mayor.
The mayor endorsed the action Of Witt
man and informed i'm that the railroad
comany could not count upon the aid Of
the police at a time when there was no
necessity for such Intervention. He did
not believe the police would be needed in
any event, as all reports made to him
during the day were to the effect that the
strike was being conducted in a most orderly
manner and without any show Of violence
on the part of the strikers. II the COM
pany could find men to take out the cars
they would not be interfered with ~enroute.

Plumbing and heating. Bi1by q Son.
Law Settles Controversy.

Now that the state legislature has enacted
q new Board Of Health law 1t is expected
that there will be no further controversy
between the city Board Of Health and the
county Board Of Supervisors over the bills
incurred in caring for smallpox patients.
Heretofore all bills incurred in this re-
spect by the city, have had to be recon-
mended to the county for payment by It.
This has led to more or less dispute over
the bills and In several instances the board
has fatty refused to pay them. Under the
new law, while the bills will in the first
place still have to be paid by the county,
the supervisors will levy a tax upon the
city. town or township mourning these ex-
penses, equivalent to one-third OF the
amount paid by the county. The entire
amount, however. Of the expense Of quaran-
tine proper, building or providing a pest
house. detention hospital, or other hospital
for guaranteed persons shall be collected
back from the city, town or township, In
which 1t is incurred. AS in the case OF
other expenses they shall be paid first by
the county.

LITTLE BUSINESS IN STOCKS
Spectators Are TimorOus over the
Situation in south
Africa.

LONDON, April 21.-The barometer Of the
Stock exchange huctuated throughout the
last week In response to every fresh rumor
of peace negotiations but actual business
was comparatively limited, the interest In
the new loan overshadowing all other deal
ings. The immense oversubscription to the
new issue of consols fairly indicates the
strong conviction among the public of the
actual proximity of peace, but the situation
speculation. The most optimistic Of the
operators during the first part Of the week
proved to be most timorous. The whole
list fell ~perceptibly upon Mr.. Balfour's an
nOuncement that a definite settlement in
South Africa had been deferred in order
to allow the Boer delegates time to inter-
view the commanders. Rands also weak
ened at the end of the week without any
assignable cause and the whole mining
situation closed weaker. Home rails profted
more than any other stock during the week
and there was a general rise in quotations
and advances were well maintained. The
outlook for English railways is today de-
cidedly more cheerful than II has been for
six months past.
American securities attracted consider
able attention during the week. There was
partly owing to the fear Of a corner In
Louisville & Nashville. The announcement
OF Mr.. Morgan's participation in this deal
removed some OF the apprehensions OF the
arbitrage houses. There Is a better outlook
for American business next week.
The money market expects an easier time
for the next two months. There will GER
funds for that period. The rates Of ex-
change on New York, Paris and Berlin all
point to gold shipments to London. rather
than the reverse.
