Fnfirm Traveller Is Working Her Way to
:-': California.
Infirm and almost helpless with the
weight Of seventy-one years, Phoebe
Hatten, who claims to have her home
somewhere in Ohio, made her way from
g. Milwaukee train to the waiting room
of the depot last evening. She endeavored
to walk with the aid of crutches, but ac-
cepted the invitation Of a porter to use
a wicker rolling chair.
II was told the good people of this
city would take care Of me- she said,
'and aid me in my efforts to get to Cali
fornta for the winter. Once there, a
niece Of mine at Berlin, Ohio, will help
me to pay my living expenses
She admitted that she was in the habit
of begging money from station to station,
and sleeping in depots which were open
all night. Tho she had but 65 cents, she
had checks for three trunks, hatbox a
hand satchel, a shoebox and a good-sized
grip. The Travellers Aid society donated
50 cents, which, added to her IS, made a
sufficient amount to buy ticket for
Pennington. She was carried into the
train and was soon on her way to the
first open-all-night depot"

INCREASE OF Is CENTS
FOR BlTUMINOUS COAL
Rise in Price Corresponds With Ad-
vance Made by Wholesalers.

The retail price of coal went up 20
cents a ton yesterday. all but two
dealers in the city making the ad-
vance. The increase is due TO the re-
cent advance made in the wholesale
price of 25 cents ton. The two deal
ers who have not made the raise in
the price say that they are able to
maintain the old price as a result of
an arrangement by which they pur-
chased at the old price of the opera
tors.
This increase has been expected
since the wholesale price advanced last
month. This makes the coal deliv-
cred, cost between 81 and s5.15.

Illustrated by the alleged fact that Mr..
Leeds retirement was followed by the
dumping of all of his Rock Island Sc
curities on the market. II is under
stood that he refused to give the
Moores an opportunity to buy his
stock at the market price or even at a
substantial advance.
The Moores are said TO have been
wiling to take the Leeds holdings and
pay him a large bonus for them. In
stead of giving them the option to do
this he is said to have let go of all his
stock. thereby causing the sensational
break of more than seven points in the

SUPERVISORS MAY GRANT
A SECOND FRANCHISE
City Attorney Holds Charter Does Not
Deny Santa Fe Company An
other Privilege.

City Attorney Long yesterday ad-
vised the Board of Supervisors that
subdivision 2S of section 1 of chap
ter of article of the charter does
not deny the power to grant an addi-
tional franchise to the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany.
The Santa Fe Company was granted
a franchise two years ago to enter the
city and operate a steam road on cer-
tain streets along the Potrero. A sec
ond petition was filed for a franchise
to construct a series of spur tracks to
connect with its main line and the in
dustrial center in the Potrero. Pro-
testing property owners raised the
point that the first franchise was a
bar to the grant of a second. Long,
in his opinion, says:
While the section of the charter quoted is
undoubtedly to be construed as a grant to
and not a limitation Of power of the board.
il bears evidence of legislative intent TO
prescribe rule TO govern the entry of such
railroads into the city and county of San
Francisco and does not purport TO affect the
control of such railroads after they have so
entered The proposed ordinance will have to
do with the enjoyment of certain rights Of the
railroad company named therein after it has
entered and established its road. 1t is my
opinion that the section of the charter re-
referred to bears no relation to such a a.
dition

GEORGE JAMES
TALKS OF BIRDS
TOCLUB WOMEN

The California Club had a red-letter
day Yesterday, when George Wharton
James. the widely-known lecturer and
writer of things Western, talked to the
ladies about Birds"
Now there's nothing ordinary about
Mr.. James-therefore was there notn-
ing ordinary about his talk
Wisely refraining from going over
the ground of bird egislation-which
had been cleaned before-he discussed
birds from the physical economic, so
cial. artistic and spiritual viewpoints.
and in the easy fascinating manner or
a confirmed optimisr.
And of this charge Mr.. James was
found to be guilty, for he pleaded hard
for the Joy of life-the ecstacy TO be
found in the things that are ours by
gift of nature, the birds and the flow
ers, quoting from Ina Coolbrltn,
Joaquin Miller and other famous op-
timists and deliberate promoters of
joy.
OF Miller he had this to say-right
out in meetin'-"A friend calling upon
the poet, looked about for the books
the noet read Not observing many,
he remarked: Mr.. Miller, / don't see
many books about. Don't you read
Books" quoth the poet, to HI with
books When 1 want books l write
Them"
1t should be remarked. in justice to
Mr.. James, that he very properly ele-
waited his fingers to quote the above
remark.
A magnetic speaker Mr.. James
proved to be, blending the esthetic
sanely with the practical, and it has
been many a day since the club en-
joyed so delightful an hour.
The day was in charge of the depart
ment of education, Madame Tojetti
chairman, to whom, and to Miss Alice
Parks, were the honors due for having
engaged so busy a man to talk.
AS a recompense he had an interest
ed audience and an enthusiastic lot OF
listeners in the tearoom later-and a
cup of pink tea
1t wouldn't be surprising If the ladies
elected Mr.. James club member,

CURED BY CUTICURA
Had Given up All Hope Of Ever

Mrs. I. B. Jones, Addington, Ind.

suffering for two years from eczema,
and during that time I could not
get . nights sleep, as her ailment
was very severe. had tried so many
remedies and spent SO much money,
deriving no benefit, / had given up
all hope of making any cure. As a1ast
resort I was persuaded to try Cuticura,
and to my great delight marked
change was manifested from the first
application. I gave the child bath
with Cuticura Soap, using a soft piece
of muslin cloth. This did twice a
day, each time following with Cuti-
cura Ointment, and at the same
time gave the Resolvent, according to
directions. One box of Ointment
and two bottles of the Resolvent, to-
gether with the Soap, effected per-
manent cure. I submit this for pub
lication, hoping it will assist other
sufferers in curing themselves"
