In common: when the sun shall be

IN HEALTH
IN DISEASE.

Man is millionaire many times over in
the possession of blood cells Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of req blood cells
in adult men is five million; in women four
and half million, to the square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremely irregular in shape Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mil
lions of rich red blood corpuscles if they
only know how to go about it DR.. R. v.
Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buff
falo, N. Y, advises every man and woman
to prepare for long life by observing ma
ture's laws. In the first place, if your
digestion is faulty, and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
ilated properly, you need tonic and diges-
tive corrector, something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
that an alternative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use of alco-
hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart
medicine he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles the per-
sons blood takes on a rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round.
NERVOUSNESS Is only tne cry OF the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps well at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

of the gangways leading from the liner

a few Chinese did not escape while their
custodians brawled. it was not because
the Chinese Bureaus hired eyes were
upon them.
During the last stay in port Of the

L. Dilley, so the story goes, found his
brother watchman. Guard Quinlan,
coiled up in an out-of-the-way corner
of the Coptic sound asleep. Dilley, too
busy watching Chinese to arouse Quin-
Ian, is said to have conducted Black
burn to where Quinlan lay asleep.
Blackburn reported Quinlan for sleep
ing at his post and the guard received
a reprimand- Since then relations be-
tween Quinlan and Dilley have been
strained. Dilley, it is said, denied to
Quinlan all responsibility for bringing
Blackburn to the scene of Quinlan's
stolen siesta and arranged yesterday
to repeat the denial in the presence of
Blackburn.

JURY NOT ABLE
TO FIX BLAME
Doctors Questioned About
Finding of a Sponge in
the Wound of a Patient
SURGEONS MYSTIFIED
Verdict That All Sing Died
Because of Foreign Sub
stance Poisoning System

Several doctors were among the wit
nesses called before the Coroner's turv
in the case of All Sing. Chinese shoe
maker. who died on November 10 in the
City and County Hospital of septic
peritonitis, caused by the presence Of a
piece Of sponge left in the abdominal
cavity of the unfortunate Chinese by
some one of the physicians who operat-
ed on him on two occasions.
All Sing was suffering from dropsy
and cirrhOsis Of the liver, and acting
under the advice Of friends he went TO
the City and County Hospital for treat
ment. There DR.. w. c. Pruett tapped
his abdomen with a trochar. but in
advertently cut a large artery in doing
SO. In order to prevent the patient
from bleeding to death an incision was
made in the abdomen and the artery
was tied. Several days later it was de-
cided to perform an operation Tor
cirrhosis OF the liver. This was per-
formed by DR.. A W. Morton, assisted
by DIR. F. R. Hart, in the presence Of
students, to whom DR.. Morton at the
time delivered a discourse as to the
proper manner Of using the gauze
sponge
After death All Sings body had been
taken TO the Morgue. Or. Curry per-
formed an autopsy and found a piece
of gauze almost the size Of a mans
hand lying against the right kidney In
the location of the second operation, the
first by DR.. Pruett having been per-
formed on the left side OF the abdomen.
DR.. Morton denied on the witness
stand yesterday that he had left any
gauze in the body Of the patient be-
fore sewing up the incisiOn and sug-
gested that the sponge might have
floated over from the left side.
DR.. Pruett, the students who wit
messed and the nurses who assisted at
the operation testified that they had
not seen any gauze left in the wound
at either operation 1t was in such a
position as to render the theory i'm
possible that it could have been swal-
lowed by the patient
The jury returned a verdict that All
Sings death had been caused by peri
tonitis ION account OF presence Of
gauze in the abdominal cavity found
after death 1t is impossible to de-
termine whether the gauze was used at
the first or second operation"

BUTCHER FINDS
BURIED COIN
Cncovers Nearly $1,000 in
Gold in a Corral in Rear
of His Slaughter-House

REDDING, Nov. 30.-William Men
eel, butcher of this city. found rich
diggings in the yard of his slaughter
house, three miles from Redding. on
Monday. He raked up $1,000 in coin. the
most of which was in gold. All Of the
money was coined more than thirty
years ago. 1t is believed that in early
days some miner cached the treasure
and died without revealing his secret.
In course of time the sIaughter-house
was built on the ground and the cache
was inclOsed in the corral The hogs
then, according to this theory. rooted
up the buried treasure at some time
when their rich find was unobserved
and scattered the coins over the small
space of ground under an average
depth of four inches Of dirt. The re-
cent rains uncovered $50 in gold coins.
When they were found it was believed
that the money had been dropped by
two marauders who had been shot at
the previous night by a slaughter-house
employe. But on Sunday MenzeI found
a 800 piece sticking edgewise in the
ground. 1t, like the other coins found,
was Of old mintage. That fact set the
butcher to thinking. Monday morning
he went to the corral bright and early
armed with a rake. At the first haul
of the rake a number Of $50 pieces were
uncovered. Within a few hours the
lucky butcher had secured $1,000. Among
the coins are six two and a half dollar
pieces and s6 80 in silver that was so
badly tarnished that it was hardly rec
ognizable.

The Supreme Court yesterday de-
livered a telling blow to the reform
movement in Palo Alto. The slot
machine business may henceforth
flourish in the pretty college town.
An expensive campaign started for
the purpose of eradicating the gam
bling evil has come to naught The
States highest tribunal has decreed,
nevertheless. that the reformers need
not be compelled themselves to send
stray nickels after more.
Joseph Fritts charged one Levin
with operating a machine in which
one might place nickel. turn a
crank and secure a chance of getting
a much larger sum of money from said
machine Justice of the Peace
Charles refused to issue a warrant and
the complainant asked for a writ of
mandate The Supreme Court says:
In this case there is nothing to
show that operating the machine in
which a person by placing a nickel
therein secures a chance Of getting
a much larger sum of money from
said machine upon turning said
crank injured plaintiff in any manner
different from the general public. He
is not compelled to put nickel in
the machine and turn a crank, but If
he should do so. according to the
complaint. he secures chance of
