II I'm SPRINGER had ceased trying to
E3 draw Mr. Ike Leavenworth into
s conversation, for the latter had re
kN piled only with mods when ad-
dressed. Leaven worth had even
forgotten to puff at his pipe, but
had raked his tangled hair, and frowned and
muttered, till Springer had begun to doubt
the integrity of his comrades intentions to
ward himself
Suddenly Leavenworth lifted up his voice,
ana began to sing in a stentorian voice that
made the woods ring:
Farewell 10 ole Alizzurv

Farewell 10 slipDery-ellm

Springer, full OF admiration, smote his
knee, and declared that the son was a mar
vel.

The True Teacher

@7UT this man put thought into me;
x he set me to thinking, and | have
not stopped since" These were the
ARRA words of a man of English birth,
C3 who has attained place of enviable
eminence in this country. He had
been pupil in celebrated schools, was ready
for Oxford University, but accident threw him
into the company Of Washington Irving,
Here was an influence that affected him
powerfully. 1t was not his vast knowledge,
for the genial author never pretended to that
it was an educative power. We must broaden
our IDEAS of education. We have thought
that the teacher was one who could hear
spelling lessons and ask questions in geog-
raphy and grammar. The end of education is
character. He who can form character is
teacher, though he cannot spell word.-The
School Journal.

The Tivoli.

The audience that packed the Tiv-
oil to it's utmost limits went wild with
enthusiasm after the mad scene in
Lucia" last evening and all on ac-
count of the very remarkable vocal
work of Signorina Tetrazzini. The dra-
matte part of the scene did not count
materially. In fact, 1t hardly figured
as an appreciable fact. But the sing
ing of Tetrazzini brought forth such
q demonstration of approval as will
be memorable in the annals of the
Tivoli whenever they shall be writ
ten 1t began with "bravos," deep
ened into American cheers and was
prolonged until the artist had been
before the curtain half a score of
times. The din sounded from the or
chestra chairs to the top gallery,
which was densely packed with an
audience of italian temperament. No
greater compliment has ever been
paid to singer in San Francisco.
Never was a demonstration more de-
served. All this was in despite of the
fact thai Tetrazzini had a cold. Her
art and purity of tone carried the day
completely, Notwithstanding this
drawback. II was Tetrazzini night,
emphatically.
Signor Coli was the Edgardo. In
the last scene he secured "bravos'
and was at his best. La Puma was
the Enrico, De Marco the Arthur.
Oddly enough the sextet was given
onlv once and then withs five instead
Of six principal singers. The opera
was conducted by,Signor Golischiani
The chorus work was good. A fea-
tire If the performance was the fine

Titles of Naval STAIR onicers.

Civil Engineer Peter G. Asserson, u.
S. N, was retired from active service
with the rank of rear admiral and the
corresponding pay, but when he used
the title of rear admiral" upon his
visiting card a line officer of similar
grade protested to the Navy Depart
ment that Mr.. Asserson, being a staff
officer, was unauthorized to use a title
that belonged only to officers of the
navy empowered to actually command
ships and squadrons." The Secretary
of the Navy, by directing Mr.. Asserson
not to use the title Of rear admiral,
either in official or personal CORE
spondence, practically supports the
contention of the line officer.
1t is said that an effort is to be made
in the next Congress to correct this an
omaly by authorizing the staff officer
to assume the corresponding line title.
Could not the problem be solved by
some appropriate aff1x to the more IA
miliar and more generally honored title
-as engineer rear admiral, surgeon
rear admiral, pay rear admiral? There
is already a precedent for such action
in the case of the army, where we now
have surgeon general, paymaster gen.
eral and quartermaster general. Some
such law authorizing the use on all oc-
casions of a distinctive and sufficiently
honorable title would remove much
frfction.-En News.

TURNS AGAINST
THE EPPINCERS
Warehouse Superintendent
Demings Says Firm Mixed
ALI It's Grades of Wheat
EVIDENCE Is IMPORTANT
May Mean Pro Rata Appor-
tionment of the Entire
Sum of Money at Stake

After several days of investigation
as to the handling Of grain in the ware
house OF Eppinger & Co., at Crockett,
James Demings the superintendent,
took the stand yesterday and testified
that it would be almost an impossible
ity to separate the pile of grain,
amounting to- $500 tons, at present in
, the warehouse, into lots giving each of
the creditors his full share. The banks
or this city and throughout the State
hold warehouse receipts for lots of
grain. but the testimony of Demings
conclusively proved hat the Eppingers
paid no attention to the numbers on
each lot, but mingled them and pre-
sented the result as the numbers asked
for.
Demings testified that when a ship
came for grain he would telephone to
the Eppinger Office in San Francisco,
and received orders to deliver the
wheat lying nearest to the berth of the
vessel, irrespective of the lot number
In many cases this was done, and
when, for instance, lot No. 720 was
called for portion of lot No. 706 would
be given, and the numbers would be
changed, SO as to give the impression
that the right grain was being given
out. This practice went on for some
time until, in the witness opinion, it
was impossible to identify the sepa-
rate lots.
A memorandum book used by Dem
fngs was the cause of much argument
between Frank H. Powers and ". H.
Chickering as to it's admission. The
book contained what purported to be
segregated list of each lot of grain,
and therefore supposed to be of use in
identification. 1t was shown, however
that the book was compiled from the
missing books of the firm, and it could
not be admitted. 1t was also brought
out that a great deal of the wheat was
mixed with barley, and that the iden-
tification of individual lots was impos-
sibe.
Jacob Eppinger was called to the
stand during the morning session, but
under instructions of his counsel,
James H. Budd, he refused to answer
any question on the ground that it
might tend to incriminate him.

CARNEGIE WILL
STAND LOSSES
Agrees to Reimburse Oberlin
Students Who Suffered
Through Chadwick Affair

OBERLIN, Ohio, Jan. 17.-Gratifying
news was received by the students of
Oberlin College to-day, when President
King announced in chapel that all
moneys which had been lost by stu
dents through the failure of the Citi-
zens National Bank, which closed it's
doors at the time of the alleged Chad
wick forgeries. would be paid on pre-
sentation of passbooks.
President King announced, further,
that Andrew Carnegie was the man
who Was doing this. Carnegie, Presi-
dent King stated, while innocently fig
uring in the bank failure, and in no.
wise responsible, did not wish to see
deserving students and others suffer.
Besides reimbursing the depositors,
Carnegie reimburses the Young Men S
Christian Association to the extent of
some $4,000, which had been laid aside
for a new building, and which was lost
in the same failure.

GRAND JURY is ACTIVE.
Again Indicts the Eppingers and Ac-
10 cuses Election Commissioners

The Grand Jury returned a new ac-
cusation against the members of the
Board of Election Commissioners yes
terday. praying that they be removed
from office. The charge is similar to
body, only correcting the technical de-
feet that caused Judge Lawlor to dis
miss the original accusation.
Messrs. Robert w. Roberts, James
A. Devote, E. c. Lefingwell. Thomas
Mcguire and A. w. Voorsanger, who
constitute the board will be served
with notice to-day and given ten days
in which to answer. There was no es-
Gaping of prosecution, for some time
ago the Merchants Association an
nounced that it would prefer charges
against the Commissioners if the ma
chinery of the law usually set in
operation in such cases did not move.
The allegations of misfeasance are
not new, being those set forth in the
Lilienfeld jury's accusation and in
the charges under which the Mayor
is at present investigating the conduct
of the board. 1t Is charged that Of
ficers for the Seventy-third and Eigh-
tieth precincts were appointed for the
primary election held last August who
were neither on the assessment roll
nor residents of those precincts, and.
that three of them were at the time
holding salaried positions under the
municipal government. 1t was in
these two precincts that the frauds
were committed.
The Grand Jury also presented ad-
ditional indictments yesterday against
Jacob Eppinger, Hermann Eppinger,
Josua Eppinger and James Demings
in connection with the grain frauds.
The accused were indicted several
days ago, but yesterday charges
were on new counts. The Grand Jury
is bent on having successful prosecu-
tions made in the gigantic swindle by
means of bogus warehouse certificates
Bernard Ettlinger. who was a member
of the firm of Eppinger & Co., is
said to have furnished the jurors with
much new discriminating evidence.
Demings was superintendent of the
warehouses at Crockett that were de-
void of wheat, though banks were
lending the firm hundreds of thou
sands of dollars on certificates repre-
sented to be issued there.
James Demings was arrested yester-
day afternoon and released on S15. 900
bonds furnished by his father and
Captain Erickson. Jacob and Her
mann Eppinger were arrested last night
and each released on SIS, 900 bonds fur
nished by a surety company
At late hour last night Josua
Eppinger had not been found.

Paris as a diplomatic Center.

The tribunal which is dealing with
the controversy relating to Russia's
sinking of English fishing craft in the
North Sea has just opened at the
French capital. Paris is resuming its
old glory as the worlds political CEN
ter. 1t was at Paris that the repre-
sentatives OF the United States and
Spain met to settle the issues growing
out of the war of 1S9S 1t seemed just
as appropriate a place for the United
States and Spain to meet In that juno
ture as it did in 1859 for England,
Russia, Prussia, Austria. Turkey and
the rest Of the European powers to deal
with the issues growing out of the
Crimean war. 1t was at congress at
Paris in 1888 that England recognized
United States independence. Twenty
years earlier treaty of Paris brought
the seven years war to an end. Be
tween 1853 and 1904 more important in
ternational gatherings have been held
at Paris than In all the rest of the
worlds capitals.-Globe Democrat.

Mrs Benjamin Borren Of 211 Web
ster street reported to the police yes
terday that her daughter, Eva Wand
ruff, II years of age. had mysteriously
disappeared, not having been seen since
she left home Sunday evening at $50
o'clock The girl went away in the
company of Mrs. Isla Murat, Edwin
Miller and Arthur Curran and no trace
has yet been found of any of them.
The mother was heartbroken and in
great mental anguish. caused by the
fear that her daughter had met with
foul play. She said that Mrs. Murat,
whose husband is a photographer at
2239 Mission street. and who is only is
years of age, came to her home on New
Years day, asking if she might stay
there. inasmuch as her husband had
driven her from home. She exhibited
a note purporting to have been written
by her husband and demanding that
$he leave him. 1t transpires that the
se was written by Mrs. Murat her
elf and was used as a ruse to work
en- the sympathy of Mrs. Borren.
Mrs. Murat invited the two young
men, who are each about % years old,
to call at the house and she introduced
them to pretty Eva Vandruff. One
evening last week Miller took the girl
to his home at 4024 Eighteenth street
and introduced her to his mother. Eva
was engaged to a young man named
William Freshman. but Mrs. Miller
says that the girl appeared to be very
fond of her son and he of her.
Last Sunday afternoon Miller and
Curran called on the young women and
remained till 6:30 o'clock. AT that time
Eva told her mother that the four Of
them were going out to dinner and
that she would be back by o'clock.
She left without any preparation for a
stay of several days and the mother is
convinced that i'll fate has befallen the
child.
The police believe, however, that all
of the quartet will make their appear
ance. Miller and Curran were seen on
Market street yesterday. Curran has
no occupation and his widowed mother,
who resides in the city, is said to be in
almost INDECENT circumstances. Miller
has been employed in jewelry agency
conducted by his mother on Post street.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
PUTTING IT STRONG.
But Doesn't 1t Look Reasonable?

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong, because 1t is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in its chronic
form is incurable or practically SO.
But we have long since shown that
Dyspepsia is durable, nor is it such
a. difficult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are constantly dieting, starving
themselves or going to the opposite
extreme or else deluging the already
overburdened stomach with "bitters,"
latter dinner pills., ETC., which in
yarfably increase the difficulty, even
IL in some cases they do give a slight
Temporary relief. Such treatment of
worse. What the stomach wants is
rest. Now how can the stomach be-
come rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nourished and
SUSTAINED?
This is a great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
success and popularity leave no doubt
as to its merit
The Tablets will digest the food
anyway, regardless of condition Of
stomach. The sufferer from Dyspep-
sia, according to directions, Is to eat
an abundance of good, wholesome
food and use the tablets before and
after each meal, and the result will
be that the food will be digested. no
matter how bad your Dyspepsia may
be, because, as before stated, the tab
lets will digest the food, even IL the
stomach is wholly inactive. To illus
trate our meaning plainly, IL you take
1900 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary
food and place it in temperature Of
98 degrees and put with 1t one of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets 1t will digest
the meat or eggs almost as perfectly
as If the meat was inclosed within the
stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak,
yet these tablets will perform the
work of digestion and the body and
brain will be properly nourished and
at the same time radical, lasting
cure of Dyspepsia will be made be-
U.-use the much abused stomach will
be given, to some extent, a much
needed rest. Your druggist will tell
you that of all the many remedies adj
vertised to cure Dyspepsia none of
them has given so complete and gem
eral satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, and not least in import
ance in these hard times is the fact
that they are also the cheapest and
give the most good for the least
money.
