Sam Berger and Jim Casey have
completed their training for their
four-round bout tomorrow night IN
Mechanics Pavilion. The amateurs
are to fight for a trophy of gold val
ued at about 800. 1t is from an orig
inal design, guarded jealousy by IN
Gle Sam and made only in his mints.
The return match between Flnnlgan
and Kehoe is expected to provide a
spirited fight. Billy Roche will ref
cree the heavyweight and bantam
weight contests, while Milton Hayes
will pass judgment on the other bouts.
From present appearances Jack
Johnson and Marvin Hart will be two
Of the best trained heavyweight box
ers which have stepped into the ring
here in years. Hart has been train
ing at Larkspur for some time, while
Johnson settled down at Oakland as
soon as the articles were signed.
johnson is anxious to win quickly
from Hart. as he thinks public opin-
ion will then force Jeffries into the
ring with him. AS the champion mas
fought Peter Jackson, Bob Armstrong
and Hank Griffin, all colored men,,
johnson thinks it late in the day Tor
the champion to draw the color line.
Young Corbett settled down at san
Rafael yesterday to undergo a severe
course of training under the d1recuon
of Frank Mcdonald. Corbett mas no

spring. when it will be possible for
both sides TO throw in strong rein

the chief Japanese uneasiness seems

tions eastward They have an un-
usually full equipment of narrow
gauge field railways, one of which
connects General Kuroki's base at
Shahedzi with Fengwangcheng, with a
branch to Saimatsza also. A supple
ntentary line is being constructed,
connecting LiaOyang with Haicheng.
There is an important line of ware
houses along the Yalu River and
many bridges have recently been con-
Etructed with a care unusual in field
operations. This elaborate system has
been seriously threatened by General
Rennenkampff's raids southeastward.
There are many evidences that the
japanese are strengthening and forti-
fPing their line of communication to-
ward Korea, which necessarily will
absorb a considerable force.

CONSUMPTION
CASES CURED
Over Feeding Is the Main
Feature of Treatment
Successful in New York
FIFTY REGAIN HEALTH
Milk, Eggs and Easily Di-
gested Fats Given to the
Patients in Abundance
Special Dispatch to The CAN.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-That it is
in the New York tenements has been
: demonstrated to a remarkable degree
in the recent records of the Post Grad
uate Hospital at Twentieth street and
Second avenue. The patients who have
been recorded as cured were taken in
hand when the disease was in its Dri-
NAL stages. They were treated at the
hospital, but were allowed to live at
their homes. They had merely to visit
the hospital for examination and grad
ed nOurtshment. Their diet was care
fully arranged and their dwellings
were kept perfectly ventilated
DR.. ROOsa, president of the hospital
staff, is enthusiastic over the success
of the system. He said to-day:
"Out of approximately $50 patients
about fifty have been thoroughly cured
of consumption. Our treatment is an
exploitation Of the theory of Overfeed-
ing. By overfeeding patients in the
first stages Of the disease and watch
ing their surroundings at their homes
we believe consumption can be con-
quered
Milk. eggs and easily diEested fats
are given to the patients in the hos
pitals. There is no restriction as to
other foods, however. We see that
they keep their windows open con-
stantly. The men may go about their
work as usual. there being no neces-
sity for confinement Heretofore we
have treated consumption only from
its walking stages, and have taken
no cases unless we were sure II was
really consumption with which pa
tients were afflicted. so we can state
our cures with certainty

getting his dues from the State.
INCREASE OF SALARIES.

The pay of teachers was low, the
Governor added. This he attributed to
an overcrowding of the profession, as
the supply and demand always fegu-
lated the hiring of teachers. The sal
aries were so low that there were few
men IN the profession, and only enough
men remained in it to hold the better
paid positions. There was certain to
be an advance, he said but it would be
gradual, and no increase all along the
line can be expected. There is strong
demand for tax reform in the State.
and 1t is not easy to see how the tax
Tor school purposes can be increased.
The necessary limit has about been
reached. The Governor then read

ture of the State money in the various
counties and the number Of children

NORTHWESTERN TRAIN
I LOST in STORr1 in
WISCONSIN.
NAV Be Buy1edm Snozg Drift
Railway Service of d Wide Section Crippled
as q Result Of Great Blizzard.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 2S.-Somewhere
along the line of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad, not many
miles from Madison, a passenger train
Is lost. 1t is overdue thirty hours, the
schedule having called for It's arrival
in this city last evening at 4 o'clock.
Not a word has been heard from 1T at
this end of the line and it has been
impossible to establish communication
since the fierce blizzard put the tele-
graph and telephone wires out of COM
mission.
The supposition here is that the train
is buried in a snowdrift at some point
west of Madison. Whether the passen-
gers are stranded has not been aScer-
tained, but unless the train is caught
In a deep cut it is likely they have
found their way to a haven, safe from
hunger and exposure.
So severe was the storm over the
State last night that many trains were
abandoned altogether. Conditions are
coming back to normal to-day, but
the destruction Of wires has handi-
capped the operation Of thelines.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Dec. 2S.-A drop

lowed the blizzard which ceased at

PITTSBURG. Pa, Dec. 2S.-The Sc
we're storm raging in the West struck
this city during the night. In the
early hours to-day the wind blew forty
miles an hour. tearing down signs and
breaking plate-glass windows. The
mercury has dropped fifty degrees

Tonight when the Government
weather bureau figured on the days

SCHOOL BOARD UP IN ARMS.
VIII Oppose Proposed Legislation Re-
ducing Apportionment.

School Director Roncovieri received a
telephone message from Superintendent
Langdon, who is in San Jose attending
the session of the State Teachers AS
sociation, to the effect that the legisla-
tive committee is preparing a favorable
report on proposed act of the Legis-
lature which will reduce the income Of
the schools of San Francisco from the
State by some 100000 and ultimately
result in reducing the salaries of teach
ers unless the Board of Supervisors
makes uD the deficiency.
The proposed act provides for the
payment of $400 by the State to every
teacher in the public school department
of the State. The rest of the income
from the State is based upon the num-
Der of pupils in average daily attend
ance instead of on the school census.
The local Board of Education Is UP in
arms at the proposed legislation, and
Roncoyieri at once requested Langdon
to fight the proposition. The committee
stands seven in favor to four against
the measure, and will not bring it up
before the main body of the associa-
tion until Friday. Langdon says that
many of the San Francisco teachers
will not be present on that day, and he
wanted it brought UP to-day (Wednes-
day).
II do not object to fixing the salaries
of teachers throughout the State at a
proper figure said Roncovieri, but
do object to it being done at the ex-
pense Of the San Francisco teachers.
The San Francisco schools now receive
about $1,300,000 yearly from the State
and city. If the States portion is re-
duced by 100000 under the proposed
new law the deficit must be met either
by the local Board of Supervisors or
by curtailing expenses In some other
direction. The sum Of 81, 200, 900 is paid
yearly to teachers and janitors for sal
aries, leaving less than 100000 for other
expenses. Without desiring to make
any threats, it is easy to see that the
reduction must be met in the salaries.
/ believe that the matter is of vast i'm
portance to the welfare of the San
Francisco schools, and would urge all
local teachers to journey to San Jose
to oppose what I may term a pernicious
piece Of legislation

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few PeoI.c Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.


Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature.
but few realize It's value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; It is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and tntestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion; it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal IN one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozen-
ges; they are composed OF the finest
powdered Willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form.
or rather in the form Of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal be-
ing mixed with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges win
soon tell In a much improved condi-
ton Of the general health. better com
pIexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty OF 1t is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but. on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. IN speaking OF
the benefits OF charcoal, says: IT advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to ali pa
tients suffering from gas In stomach
and bowels and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; / also believe the liver Is
greatly benefited by the daily use Of
them; they cost but 25 cents a box at
drug stores and although in soma
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve I get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
