Marrow Escape of F. A. Tozier--vivid
Description Of Fire at Santa Rosa.


Lester Toz.er yesterday received a
letter from his father, +. A. Tozier.
who was at Santa Rosa at the time of
the earthquake. His letter is very
vivid description of conditions there.
and of his own narrow escape from
death. We ave permitted to print por.
tions of the letter.
"Thank God, l am alive and not
hurt, for you doubtless have heard of
the terrible earthquake we had this
morning at $3.50, completely destroying

Everything Useful
Nothing Fever yet Created without ,
Purpose.


We all wonder why certain things
were ever made, why certain animals
or insects were allowed to live. And
yet there is no doubt but that every
thing was created for some purpose, and
as civilization advances, such purposes
are discovered.
Cod liver oil is something that every.
body knows TO have been wise provis
ion of Providence, to be used as o medi
cine in all wasting diseases. Yet sci
ence has proven that the oil has no
value either as medicine or food
and while useful to the cod fish only
the medical elements which the oil con.
tains are useful to man as medicine,
Therefore separation must be eff
feeted.
This is exactly what has been done
by two eminent French chemists. After
twenty years of experimenting, they
succeeded in separating the medicinal
curatives from the useless oil and
grease and have given to the world in
concentrated form all of the healing
strengthcreating and bodybuilding
properties Of cod liver oil, without oil
or grease to upset the stomach and re.
tard its work, and by this process
Vinol is made.
Our druggists, G. w. Putnam Co..
guarantee vinol to be pure cod liver
medicine, without the oil, and not a
patent medicine, and also guarantee
that Vinol will create a healthy appe.
tite, cure stomach troubles, give
strength and renewed vitality to weak.
sicl0ly children, and to the aged, build
up the run down, tired and debilitated,

Two Great Poets comnarsd.


In an old number of Notes and Quer.
les enumeration is made of certain a.
legged points Of resemblanee-in circum
stances, character, conduct and exper
ience-between Shakespeare and Mo
liere. These are the specifications:
/. The father Of each was in trade
and apparently destined his son to fol.
low his occupation.
2. The early education of both was
neglected, and We know nothing in
their after training that conferred on
them their perfect knowledge Of good
breeding end distinguished manners.
3. Neither Of them was happily mar.
ried.
4. Each became manager, author
actor.
s. Each produced a considerable
number of authenticated dramatic
works.
6. Each was careless about publish
ing his works; or, rather, objected TO
do so, lest they should be acted by ri
val dramatic companies.
7. The plays Of each were collected
by actors and first published in n com
plete form after the death Of the auth.
ore.
s. Each touched up produced plays
that are lost or of doubtful origin.
9. Each disregarded novelty or plot
borrowing from various sources.
10. Each disliked his profession.
IL. The personal character Of each
was gentle, kind, generous.
II. Each had a profound knowledge
of human nature.
l3, Each preferred the idea or mat
ter TO the comparative disregard Of
the manner
il. Each had a remarkable fecundi.
ty and fertility Of production.
Is. Each died at the age of so.
Some Of the points Of resemblance
specified by the Notes and Queries
writer can be admitted, but not all.
1t is not known that the early edu.
cation Of Shakespeare was neglected;
neither is il known that be was un'
happily married. There was an excel
lent school at Stratford.upou-Avon
when he was a boy, and, as his father
was first an alderman and sfterward
chief burgess Chat is, mayor Of the
borough, 1t Is not likely that the lad
was not sent 10 it TO be taught; more
over, his plays contain indications that
he did attend that school, for be quotes
Lilly's English grammar-an excellent
book that was eustomarily used there.
The edueatioB Of Moliere was not neg
lected. for during Ave years be was
pupil at Claremont college, and he
could, among other things. write Latin
verses. Moliere's marriage, II Is known,
proved unfortunate, but the Lotion
that Shakespeare made an unhappy
marriage is absolutely eOnjeetursl-a
notion founded on an apparent fact
that he lived for many years in Lon
don, leaving his wife and ehildre AZ
Stratford, and on the absolute fact
that. by his win, be bsqusathsd to his
widow his "seeoRd-best bed" II was
long ago pointed out that his wido"
was provided for BY dover, and. under

Brooklyn, N. y, April 2o.-FOr the
first time In Is years, Senator Chaun
eey Depew will not be the guest Of
honor at the annual banueqt which the
Montauk Club has given annually In
honor Of the senator's birthday. The
usual birthday dinner was arranged by
the club for tonight. this being DePew q
birthday, but owing TO his recent i'll
ness Senator Depew was compelled to
decline the invitation. IL 10 under
stood in well-informed circles that the
illness Of tho senator had less TO do
with his declining the invitation than
the unpleasant disclosures during the
recent insurance investigation. The
