5 STRICKEN CITIZENS
IN GOOD HEALTH
Reports as to Epidemic of Dis
ease Are Without Any
Foundation.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2L-"Say to
the people OF California, of the United
States and of the world that there is no
epidemic In San Francisco. and no danger
of one, IL we are not absolutely free
from contagious diseases, we at least have
fewer of them than we have under the
circumstances any right to expect. In
deed, we have had this month fewer
cases OF such diseases than we had
month ago, and there Is nothing in the
present condition OF affairs I'm san Fran
to fear an outbreak, The sanitation of
the city Is absolutely under control.
False Reports Spread.

OF San Francisco and OF tho outside

Ing placed upon the moving OF refugees
from the city. The calamity we have
adding to IT this additional and tnwar-
rantcd distress"
Is Official Statement.
This statement, made By DR.. j w
Ward. chairman of the health committee
at the meeting of the general committee
The doctor was distinctly impressive
and his remarks were at once sup
plemented by motion that II was the
sense of the committee that the Asso-
clated Press should disseminate this i'm
portant news through its agencies
DR.. Ward, continuing said the city had
been divided Into three grand districts,
which had been divided into sub-dis-
tricts, which enabled him to ensure the
committee that probably before nightfal
every block within the unburned portion
of the city would be visited and Inspected
by the representatives OF the Board OF
Health.
Many Plumbers Busy
Three hundred plumbers under the di-
rcction OF the Board of Health, are now
at work In all sections OF the city They
are combining their efforts solely TO sewers

accomplished, and the whole proceed

But the owners Of the land where the
meteorite had fallen got wind Of the
fact that a queer looking object had
been taken from their property and
went to court about it. The finder
claimed that, being shooting star
from some unknown region Of space, It
should be considered the property OF
its discoverer. The owners Of the land
where it had lain for perhaps millions
of years claimed it as mineral prop
erty, whose ownership goes with the
land. The court ruled in their favor,
thereby establishing an important
precedent for heavenly visitors that

The AGE OF AN OYSTER.
You Can Tell II By the Lines oA The
Hinge of the Shell.

You Can Tell It By the Lines on The
Hinge Of the Shell.
In some ways an oyster is smarter
than the man who eats him, but in one
respect the consumer has his victim
beaten in the matter of wisdom. The
consumer has learned the art Of "mak-
Ing up" to conceal his age; the oyster
has not. Any one who wishes to do
so can find out just how old an oyster
is. The lines in the groove OF the
hinge of the shell tell the whole sto.
~. These lines are a true index to
the number Of layers composing the
shell, being, in fact, nothing else than
their attenuated tails. One Of these
layers grows each year, and, no matter
how hard the sensitive oyster may try
to keep it from showing, it is bound to
overlap it's predecessor and leave q
ridge which, no doubt, is just as am
noying to the oyster tribe as an an-i
nual wrinkle would be to the human
race.
Up to the time of an oysters matu-
rity these layers are arranged with reg
ularity, but after that they fairly pile

ness, If not Of solemnity, that it is
often said he ought to have been q
priest. For a time he wore a mus
tache, which changed materially the
aspect Of his features, but he has re-
turned to the shaven upper lip.
Though he is a man very much in ear
nest, he can see the humorous side Of
things. he was once discussing Ger
tain English fnancier whose views, he
said, reminded him Of Marshall Saun-
ders Of Braidwood.
"Braidwood Is an Illinois town, and
passed my boyhood there" said Mr..
Mitchell. Marshall Saunders had a
fine apiary. he raised good bees and
good honey. It was pleasure to visit
his neat well painted city Of hives.
Marshall had an inquiring mind, and
he would sometimes ask himself
strange questions. One Of the ques-
tons he continually asked himself was
this:
"'Have I any right to rob these bees
Of their honeyY
"And for a long time he could not
answer that question to his own salts
faction. Finally, though, he found an
answer. I heard him tell 1t to his
friends with pride.
"T used to feel mean he said,
about robbing the beehives, but after
thinking the matter over I see now I'm
in the right. If it wasn't for me tax
ing the honey, all them bees would be
out Of work the whole Of next sum-
mer.'"
Mr.. Mitchell added that it did not re-
quire a great stretch Of the magma
ton to apply the story to the philan-
thropy Of some capitalists and political
economists.
President Mitchell has several chill
dren himself, and he is much interest
ed In giving the boys who work in the
mines better chance to get start
In life. he toiled in the mines as
boy of thirteen and knows what it
means for a lad who ought to be at
school to be so employed. once ne ad-
dressed a meeting where many Of the
breaker boys were present, and he said
afterward:
II was shocked and almost lost my
grip at times as saw those eager eyes
peering at me from pale little faces,
and I-well there are some things a
man cannot forget That fight had a
new meaning to me. felt that was
fighting for the boys; fighting a battle
for innocent childhood; battling to get
for those brave little fellows chance
In life. l felt that If I might be weak
in some things I should be true to
those little lads"
The labor leader can be very elo-
uuent from fitting occasions. he has
q strong sway over the men who look
to him for guidance.

Negro Cut His Mules Throat.

SPARTANBURG, April 16.-Dock Miller:
negro, who went to Hopewel) church
to attend services yesterday, became en-
ragged with his mule and drew his knife
He then proceeded to cut the animals
throat. The mule was valued at $125 and
was the property of the negro.
The deed was witnessed by several ne.
groes and they at once attempted to take
him in charge. He resisted and there re,
suited fight in which the negros sis
ter, Mag Miller, took hand to help her
brother out. Both were arrested and sent
to the county Jail by Magistrate Dean, the
man for maliciously killing his mule and
the woman for assault and battery.
