'SAMEE HELLE,' SAYS CHINESE
Shower of Vegetables Falls When the
Celestiai's Cart Is Struck
by Car

Pedestrians in the neighborhood OF
First street and Broadway yesterday
afternoon about 2 o'clock were amazed
by luxuriant rain of fresh vegetables
which descended from the air in
showers. Lucious ripe tomatoes, big
punches Of fresh celery string beans
and crisp green balls of lettuce rolled
and tumbled about the pavement as if
the goddess of vegetable gardening had
suddenly slipped a knot in her Cornu-
copia and was shoWering all her
wealth on Los Angeles.
Wong Sow, n Chinese vegetable ped
dler who drives cart 1851 was coming
slowly down Broadway wrapped in
beatific Chinese vision of vegetab bles
sold at the highest market rates. Car
7S of the Pacific Electric company was
coming down the incline from Hill
street to Broadway at the same time.
The rails of the track are covered with
a thin coating of asphalt on this sec
ton Of street. and the car slipped and
slid along, getting out of the control
of the motorman. Peddlers cart and
street car met at the corner at the
psychological moment and the car
Caved in the spokes of the rear wheel,
lifting the cart in the air and scatter
ing boxes Of green stuff in all direc-
tions.
The Chinese was shaken up on his
seat and got his horse in motion so that
he was not injured. After he had
driven UP to the Curbing and Inspected
his disrupted load of vegetables he
went back and sadly gathered up part
of his unspOiled green truck "Alle

ARMY'S MORALS IMPROVING
Chaplain orViIe Nave Says Gambling
and Drinking Have De-
creased

1.-THE officers of the army are very
different now in respect to dissipation.
as compared with what they were
twenty-five years ago. They were then
much given to drink and gambling,
but now they will compare favorably
with any profession. excepting the min
istry," said Chaplain Orville Nave
yesterday morning at a meeting of the
Methodist ministers association.
"The army should not lie compared
in times of peace with what it is in
times of war" continued the chaplain
During the war excitement and un-
avoidable conditions, greatly contribute
to the decentralization of both officers
and men. The army is often judged
in times of peace by the dissipation
during the times of war, which is an
injustice.
"Intemperance in the army has of
late years received much attention.
There are now many in the army who
believe that tine canteen should be re-
stored and regulated, but the result
of my study is that its restoration
would be a mistake

preme court?" demanded Mr.. Smith.
'9The city would not have suffered
but the appeal had no effect as a stay
of proceedings" answered the attorney
Mr.. Goudge then told how the city
council, at a special session in May
1903, had consulted with the city at
torney and instructed the street super.
intendent to tear up the tracks and how
the street superintendent had beer
prevented from carrying out these in
structions by an injunction Of court.
This suit has not been brought on a
question of the validity Of the fran
chise, but to prevent the city from
tearing up the tracks" continued Mr.
Goudge. 1T is this same case which
has been appealed and the only ques-
ton in court is whether or not the
street superintendent has the right to
tear up these tracks"
The tacit agreement between the
old city council and the street rail-
way company that the tracks be al
lowed to remain until the question had
been decided by the supreme court
was brought to Mr.. Goudge's attention
by Councilman Smith.
To Establish a Truce
There could have been no agree
ment," said Mr.. Goudge. "An agree
ment of this nature and the injunction
could not coeXist. In sworn state
ment the railway company said thai
the city would tear up the tracks unless
restrained by law, and had there been
an agreement brought to the atten-
ton of the court the injunction would
have been refused. You can't play
with the court or ask it to answer
riddles"
President Summerland wanted to
know what action the council could
take to restore the service and not
interfere with the city's rights.
AN agreement to the effect that the
franchise might be sold at any time.
but in the meantime the company
could operate its line is the only valid
one that I can see," answered Mr..
Goudge.
Attorney Harris suggested that the
city stay the execution of its threats
to tear up the tracks until the supreme
court had handed down a decision.
Former City Attorney Walter Haas
held a similar opinion and Judge
Guthrie gave as his solution that
pending proceedings in the supreme
court the service should be renewed
and the railway company pay 800 a
month into the citys treasury until
the case had been decided"
Councilman Smith believed that as
the mayor had begun the trouble ne
should be allowed to finish it.
The mayor might have been sincere,
but 1 believe he was making a play
TO the galleries when he tore up the
tracks," said Mr.. Smith. 1T isn't SO
much what he did as the way he did
It. l don't believe there is a man
n the city that upholds the mayor in
he action he has taken. He may have
some scheme of which this action is
part and I believe the entire case
should be referred to him to finish up
This failed to meet with the APPROVAL
If the council and then Mr.. Smith
made heroic fight to have the propo
'ition referred to a committee of the
whole to meet this afternoon to investi-
gate. After an argument lasting ha'f
IN hour Mr.. Smiths idea was accepted
oy the council and the action of tie
committee of the whole this after.

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become infamed
and secrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un-
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.
and no man could have been worse. I
tried everything could hear of, but no
good resulted. 1 then began s. S. s.,
and could see little improvement from
the first bottle, and after taking it a
short while was cured. This was six
man. think Catarrh is a blood dis
ease, and know there is nothing on earth
better for the blood than s.. S. s. No
body thinks more of S. s. s. than | do.
Lapeer, Mich. NJ. MATSON.
Local applications cannot cure Catarrh,
because they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. They allay the inflammation
and temporarily relieve the disease, but
as soon as they are left off the trouble re-
turns. The only way to cure Catarrh is
to treat it through the blood. S. S. S. soon
clears the blood of all Catarrhal matter and
purges it of all irritating poisons, checks
further progress of the trouble and conf
pletely cures the disease. S. S. S. keeps

fectorderso that
it CAN eliminate
from the system
all waste matter
that will pro-
duce Catarrh.
