ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE.

San Francisco. March 2I.-The collapse of the
threatened streetcar strike was a fortuna te
thing for this city, as it is crowded with tour
lists. who would have been driven away and
trade would have suffered severely. 1t is plain
that the labor leaders discovered that public
sympathy not with the carmens union and
their absurd demands. and that they could not
hope to win the strike. The differences have
not been settled between Manager Chapman of
the United Railroads and the employees but a
compromise is sure to be made without the
recognition Of the ion the granting of
treme demands.
All business Is very active here now. and there
is more building than for years. but the growth
of the city has been injured within the last six
months by general fears of labor troubles The
Union Iron Works lost d $4.000000 contract be-
cause the Secretary of the Navy feared that the
work would he tied up by strikes. and many
capitalists who had plans for large improve
ments have deferred building until the labor
situation Is more settled and materials and
wages not exceptionally high. The inn
mediate result is a large shrinkage in building
contracts and a decline in activity in the real
estate market Meanwhile the city is enter
tanning this month more Eastern visitors than
ever before in it's history. All the big hotels
crowded, we'll scores of private hotels and
lodging houses.
E. o. Mccormick general passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific Company. who las made

CISCO can entertain more visitors than any other
city OF it's sze in the world, and that It has

How Mans Character may be Read
by His Lip Adornment.
Women who wish to know the character
of their men friends should If they wear
moustachios, observe them closely, says
Stray Series.
As the form of the upper lip and the re-
gions about 1t have largely to do with the
feelings-pride, self reliance, manliness,
vanity and other qualities that give self
control, the moustaohe is connected with
the expression OF these qualities, or the
reverse.
When the moustaohe Is ragged and, as 1t
were, flying hither and thither, there is a
lack of self,oontrol When 1t Is straight
and orderly, the reverse Is the case. other
things, of course, taken into account.
If there is a tendency to curl at the outer
ends of the mousJaohe, there is tendency
to ambition. vanity and display When
the curl turns upward there is geniality
combined with love of appreciation.
When the inclination is downward there
Is more sedate turn of mind, not unao
companied with gloom.
1t is worthy of remark that good natured
men will, in toying with the moustache,
invariably give it an upward inclination,
whereas GROSS grained or morose men will
pull 1t obliquely downward.

PAINE'S CELER Y
COMPOUND
Mrs. Clark Tells of Her Happy Rescue
From Suffering After Failures
of Physicians

Nervous disorders and diseases are ON the
increase and women are the chief sufferers.
Digestion gives out, there are pains in the
head the tongue is coated, the muscles ache,
there is constipation, heart palpitation, gloomy
fears Cypress continually, and sleep is broken
and disturbed.
The only reliable remedy that medical
science has given to humanity for the cure CT
nervousness, is Paines Celery Compound,
pr. scriped by eminent physicians with the
happiest results. In critical cases, Paine's
Celery Compound has saved life and restored
health when all other medicines failed. Mrs,
f. A. Clark, of Moscow Idaho writes as
follows about her success with Paine's Celery
Compound =
