FOR WEAK NERVES.

"The battle of life to-day ia
not fought with the muscles but
with the nervous SYSTEM" so
says Sir J. Crichton Browne, a
high medical authority. Another
authority, the late DR.. j. M.
Fothergill, adds, "The more the
digestion weakens and the liver
and kidneys become inactive and
sluggish, the more the blood
becomes laden with waste mat
tiers, causing many disorders;
among them govt, rheumatism,
heart trouble, asthma and pros
tration of the nerves. A strong
set Of nerves, a set to work with,
set to enable you to stand
the worlds battles and collisions
without breaking down, must be
a well-nourished set of nerves;
and well-fed nerves have got to
be part and parcel of strong,
well-fed body. That is the idea;
and how then are weak people
going to obtain the strength and
the assimilating power which
lies behind it? By using

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
STILL UNFINISHED

The championship of the Pacific Club
invitation doubles still hangs in the air.
Tennis enthusiasts were treated to
plenty of excitement yesterday after
noon when Brock and Alexander, after
losing two sets in short order to Cunha
mis- and won the next two almost as
easily as they had lost the earlier
games, the last set being very one
sided.
The first two sets went for SIS and
60 in favor of Cunha and King, both
playing a sound steady game, lobbing
with excellent judgment, while Cunha's
work at the net was particularly bril-
liant. In the third set Brock and Alex
ander changed their back court tactics
to net game and Alexander in par
ticular began to rally, playing a strong
er game as the time went by. His
playing between his two opponents was
very effective and his smashes the
equal of Cunha's.
The set was five games old, to 1 in
favor of Cunha-King, before Brock and
Alexander took their brace. The score
crept up to Az, 4-3, 4-all, sail and then
6-5 and rs after closely contested
deuce-vantage games.
The light began to get bad in the
fourth set and the players moved to
the mauka court out of the shadow OF
the trees after few games. Alexander
| continued to improve and Brock played
| a sitter game while King, whose play
| ing is at times fitful, weakened in APP
parently both strength and judgment
| Cunha played strongly throughout the
match but the others were in the as
cendant and, never seriously challeng-

proved a walk over.
The match now stands two sets al

President Said to Want Him for Ma
 tional Committee Chairman.

From the New York Sun.
 President Roosevelt. eminent republ- cans said yesterday, has about given up the idea that Senator Hanna will accept reelection as chairman of the republican national committee. Senator Hanna's successor is to be elected immediately after the national convention adjourns. The convention is called to assemble in Chicago on June 21.
 The republicans who say that the Pres- dent has given up hope of inducing MT. Hanna to conduct the national battle in 1904 are competent to speak, and they say also that the President would like to have Elihu Root succeed MT. Hanna as national chairman. Secretary Root, it is understood, is to retire from the Presi- dents cabinet about February l. The Presidents friends, intelling about the Presidents desire to have his secretary of. war conduct the national battle next year, assume that the President is certain that he is to be nominated by the con- yention.
 The President and Secretary Root have been warm personal and political friends from the early 'SOs when the President and MT. Root participated in the repup- lican politics of the old Twenty-first or Diamondback district. and when the President was an assemblyman
 Secretary Roots friends said last night that he was to resume the practice of his profession upon giving up his portfolio and then opinion was that under no cir cumstanees could he be induced to accept the place of chairman of the republican national committee.

LOST $2O,OOO OF
 SCHOOLS MONEY
OFFICER OF THE CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY coNFEssES THAT HE IS "A DEFAULTER TO LARGE
 AMOUNT LOST ON RACE TRACK.

Berkley Cal, December 16.-W A Me- Kowen. secretary of the board of regents of the State University, confessed today to President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, that he was a defaulter to the amount of $2Oo0O. and possibly more. Most of the money was lost at the race track. MT. McKowen has been suspended by Presi- dent Wheeler. and arrested.
 President Wheeler said today: q have suspended McKowen from of- flee pending the action of Governor Par dee, president of the board of regents. and have placed the office in charge tenn porarily of my private secretary, Victor Henderson.
 'The total amount of the dedication we do not know. McKowen said he thought it would be S20,000 or more. He had spent it on the race track"
 President Wheeler spoke highly of Me Kowen's personality and was visibly af- fected in telling how his trust had been betrayed. McKowen has been in the uni versity about twenty years, is unmarried and about 40 years of age. His salary was s2400 a year.

Red Bananas Again on the Market.

from the New 1Ork Press.
 Red bananas once more are plentiful in the New York market and are likely to be for some time" said fruit commits sion merchant 'I can remember the time when there were more red bananas than yellow ones, fifteen or twenty years ago. Then they got scarce. Six years ago only a few punches came to New York for the Christmas trade. and they went to dealers at $75 a bunch, the highest price ever paid here for such fruit.
 .The red banana was the first to come to this country. Then 1t was found that the yellow fruit was more easily raised, kept longer and clung better to the stalk. This last factor was an important one, as a great loss comes from bananas dropping from the bunch. More yellows grow on bunch. For these reasons the red ban anas practically disappeared from the markets and only a few punches were brought here.
 The fast f lit steamers have been re- sponsible for lowering the price of ban anas When we had to get our fruit from the sailing vessels we never knew whether we would have enough to supply the mar ket, for the vessels would be delayed by storms and might come in with spoiled cargoes. Today these fruit steamers are as regular as passenger ships, and we know almost to a bunch how much the cargo will amount to-"

DueIinu,

From the New York Commercial
 The duel in it's original form, differen- tiated from the combats of gladiators and classic heroes, was devised by Burgun- dian monarch of the sixth century. and accorded with the superstition of it's age Trial by ordeal had been in the hands of the church, which had grossly "faked' verdicts dictated by self-interest and oth- CT base motives. The duel became a di- rect appeal from Heaven to vindicate the right. The death knell of the old form of wager of battle was sounded in a curl ous manner.
 In the fourteenth century a man was alleged to have dishonored the wife of another man. says an authority in Lon don. Trial by combat was ordered and In the presence of Charles VI of France and his nobles a duel was fought The ac- cused man was defeated was hanged in the arena. and all the people acclaimed the justice of God. Soon after a man was arrested on quite different charge, and confessed that he was the culprit in the matter for which the unfortunate dueist had died. Trial by ordeal lost caste in France from tha moment, and the duel became the arbiter for wounded amour propre.
 Yet it died hard In England they had trial by combat long after the Norman nor archs who introduced 1t were dust. So late as 1877 man accused of murder took advantage of the old law to chal- lenge him who made the charge. It was proved that it was within the right of the murderer to do so. The challenge was refused, and the culprit escaped the con sequences of his crime An act of parla- ment in the following year put an end to this preposterous state of the law. But duelling did not die. While such notable men as Emil de Gerardin, Armand Car rel. Lamartine. Alexander Dumas, Ledru Rollin, Edmund About. Sainte-Beuve and Thieres in France, with men like Fox, Pitt, Pulteney Hervey, Canning. Castle feagh, the dukes of York and Richmond. Wilkes, Sir Francis Buidett, Grattan, O'Connell, and the Duke of Wellington in England. were all called out or called others out, it was not to be expected that men less eminent would relinquish the chance of notorety by such means.
 One of the ways suggested for the re- pression of "ragging" in the army re- gently advocated was the revival of the right for a man insulted to call out the offender But that system was struck dead by the prince consort. Intermt- tently, despite the law, duels were fought in the British army and ia society circles until close on the ffties. The prince pro- posed courts of honor, secret tribunals which should arbitrate between parties after the fashion pursued in the Bavarian army. The suggestion came to nothing. The army did not want it, and the navy was too. sensible to fool away it's lives in dues Ultimately the persistence of the prince brought an amendment of the army regulations, making it the most heinous offense to be principal in or ac- cessory to a duel. And so the matter stands today.
