FARES ON STREET RAILROADS.
Measure introduced for San Diego
Company's Benefit

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRAMENTO.
Jan. 30.-A bill introduced in the Senate by
Ward and in the House by Barnes regulating
street railroad fares has been eyed curiously
by legislative entomologists, but Barnes makes
a simple explanation Of its purpose that tends
to clear up doubts The bill is an amendment
to that fixing the rate of fare for a con-
tinuous trip within the bounds of a munich
pality at cents and provides that. except
ing in cities OF the first class which includes
San Francisco only. the rate shall not exceed
10 cents for any distance under three miles
1.-The bill is introduced to permit OF the
building of a road projected in San Dego,'
said Barnes. THE city of San Diego is larger
IN area than the State of Rhode Island and
this company wants to build line sixteen
miles long within its limits. It's hardly fair
TO make them carry passengers that distance
for 5 cents"
Some objection has been made to the bill
on the ground that II might permit the raising
of fares in other cities

SAN JOSE. Jan. SO.-The information
has just leaked out here that strike
that would have tied up all the lines of
the Sunset Telephone Company on the

by the company granting liberal cOnces-

eeks ago of linemen and other employees
from Puget Sound to San Diego TO order
the strike In the meantime the COM
pany had got an inkling of the matter,
and fearing a strike granted the eight
hour day and an increase of pay from
50 % to $3 80.

Secretary Deane was asked yesterday
who this left behind the bill. He answered
that no one in the California Petroleum

His Last Hope Realized .

[From The Sentinel. Gebo, Mont.1
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to set- tiers in 1889. the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he ex- pected to die. One day one of his neigh bors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was repeated The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for A fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure. and he cannot help but feel grateful The season for bowel dis orders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists. adv

Buffalo Lithia Water Has Demon
 stratsd Its Extraordinary Cura- tive Power in the Treat nneut of DisHaae

The value of mineral waters in the treatment of many diseases has long been recognized. In fact many of these springs. located in different parts of the country, has been resorted to long before any analysis of the waters had been made
 Years ago people living in Mecklenburg County. Virginia, learned of the extraor- dinary curative power of the water from several springss situated in that part of the country known as the Buffalo Hills and 1t was but a short time after this when these waters became famous for their high per cent. of Iithium salts.
 No other mineral waters from any part of the world are more widely known or have higher medicinal endorsements than Buffalo Lithia Water The many ail- nrents and diseases for which it Is val uable and the numerous cures that have been made by a liberal use of this water, is almost beyond belief.
 Many of the most distinguished physi- clans in the world prescribe 1t in the treatment of rheumatism. gout, diabetes, Bright's disease, ca1culi. stone in the blad- der, gall stones and all Kindred diseases due to uric acid in the blood. It has also been found unusually effective in many diseases peculiar to women.

POLICE BOARD CASE
EgUPREME COURT REvERSEs THE BESsEMER DECISION.
] Opinion Does Not Touch Upon Con- stitutionality of Act-Remand- ed on Error of Court as
 to Evidence.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday reversed and remanded the case against the Board of Police Commission CTS of Bessemer without entering upon the vexed question of the constitutionality of the act creating the Commission.
 The act had been attacked as an un- constitutional measure but the opinion
 of the Supreme Court in no way affect
 ed the contention that the law was mt
 constitutional
 The case was reversed and remanded
 because in the quo warranto proceedings
 of the lower court the Judge refused to
 admit certain evidence. The opinion ex- pliciuy refrains from entering into the consdtutionality of the law, saying:
 Since this case must be reversed for this error. the decision of the coustitu- tionalfty of the act creating the Police Commission is at this time unnecessary. g
 The Supreme Court in the opinon fol- Lewis, F. P. Moore and Sam Lefkovits. ing upon the constitutionality of any act ] of the Legislature when the case could be decided or disposed of for some other reason.
 The fight on the Bessemer Police Com < mission act was of special interest to citi- Eens of Montgomery. The act creating the Police Commission of Montgomery is sim liar to the Bessemer act, differing only in one particular. The Bessemer act pro- vfdes the members of the Police Commis- sion shall be appointed by the Governor. The Montgomery act provides that the 1 members of the Commission shall be elected by the City Council.
 The doubts of the constitutionality of one act would apply to the other. The Bessemer act was attacked by certain residents of that city who charged the act was special legislation for one city. frhey contended that the act was in di- rect conflict with the new Constitution which forbids local or special legislation | for cities.
 To test. the act the members cf the fBeasemer Board of Police Commissioners who had been appointed by the Governor were by quo warranto proceedings cited ! fo appear before the City Court of Bes- Bemer.

Pains "Last Days of Pompeh" Here

The great "feature' of each perform ance of Pains "Dast Days of Pompeif' spectacle is the q. 900 display of his fa- nous Manhs .tan Beach fireworks.
 The question has often been asked representatives of the spectacle. Do the fireworks really cost one thousand doi- iars a nightf While the actual cost of manufacturing the nightly display of
 fireworks used in this big spectacle Is probably not definitely known to any one but the chief pyrotschnist in charge of their making, there is no question but that a single duplicate display. such as is nightly fired by Pain could not be given for less than double q, GO. so the announcement Is far nearer the actual truth than are most theatrical claims. The nightly fireworks program includes over 260 pieces-in several occasions over S0o-and embraces several aerial and aquatic novelties, and hugh beautiful "set" pieces exhibited by no other firm.
 Many of the shells and fancy designs are exact duplicates of those shown by Pain in his great displays at the Chi cago Worlds Fair; the San Francisco Mid-Winter Exposition and at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo. Were there no other attractions to "Pompeif' but It's fireworks. the spectacle would still be worth any mans money to see.

PEABODY SCHOLARSHIP.
Competitive Examination at Capitol
 Tn July.

SVAhPStitlNe G4hIuluhtlon' dt SnpAtol
 In July.
 A competitive examination to decide the award Of four free scholarships from Alabama to the Peabody Normal Col lege at Nashville will be held at the Capitol July 16 and t7.
 The award of the scholarships will be made by State Superintendent of Educa. ton I. W. Hill. The aliotments of the Peabody scholarships are of great i'm portance to number of ambitious young men and women of the State. Chief Clerk Gunnels of the Department of Education said yesterday that a large number of letters had been received at the depart ment from prospectice contestants for the places enquiring as to the method of award of the scholarships.
 The four scholarships are donated to the State of Alabama by the Board of Trus- tees of the Peabody Educational Fund. The four appointees are given railroad transportation to and from Nashville. Tenn. originating at any point in Ala bama. The appointees are given $100 fin cash, with free books and free tuition.
 The scholarships have heretofore been awarded for a term of two years. The scholarships this time, however, will be awarded for only one year. The change fin the award has been made necessary by the ailnouncemet of the Board of Trus- tees that a different system would be adopted for the disposal of the Peabody Fund.
