MARBLE MEMORIAL CHAIRS
FOR THE GREEK THEATER
PRESIDENT WHEELER'S SUCCESS
TloN AROUsEs ENTHUSIASM
Plan Is for Each Graduating Class at
the State University to Make Such
Gifts, Dedicated to Such Persons
as They Wish to Honor
Special to The Herald.

special TO Inc Herald.
BERKELEY. Jan. 13.-About six
months ago President Wheeler suggest
ed to the secretaries of the graduated
classes that each provide one or more
marble chairs, of individual design, to
be placed in the first row below the
GiazomF in the Greek theater, and the
class to dedicate such chairs to some
one whom they desired to honor. The
pioneer class of ga Is to have the posi-
ton of honor at the extreme right of
the diazoma, facing the stage, and the
arrangement of the remaining chairs
will extend to the left by classes in
chronological order. There are 100
seats in this row, and it is hoped that
it may be filled by chairs in memory
of the graduating classes and honored
alumni of the university.
The responses to President Wheeler's
suggestion We're immediate and the
various class secretaries took up the
plan with enthusiasm, with the result
that nearly all of the more recently
graduated classes have already sent in
contributions for one or more chairs.
Architect Howard has made a sketch
of one of the proposed chairs, in which
the classic lines have been carefully
preserved.
The custom of placing memorial
chairs in the Greek theater by the
graduating classes will probably be as
enthusiastically received by the classes
that come as by those. already gradu-
ated. There will thus be added one
more feature to the Green theater,
which will be of the utmost interest to
visitors and will make it a spot in
which the members of each class of
the university will have a sort of pro-
pretary interest.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-When the
case of Marcus Braun, special commits
sioner to Austria-Hungary to investi-
gate emigration conditions, against
Laios Steiner of this city, whose ar
rest Mr.. Braun had secured on a
charge of criminal libel on December

nature of his work abroad as repre-
sentative of the immigration bureau
and of the secret report he has made
to President Roosevelt concerning his
Investigations in Austria Hungary.
These questions Braun absolutely re-
fused to answer.
He exhibited a telegram in the court
from Secretary Metcalf, in which the
latter assured him that under no cir
cumstances would the contents of the
secret report be made public, not even
at the command of congress. which had
called upon Secretary Metcalf's depart.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall
it was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, SO that single grain
is far more effective than tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold i'm drug stores under the name of
StuartS Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate-coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, eff
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health:
sulphur acts directly bn the rIver and
eXcretory organs and purifies and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elm
ination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurty of ordinary
nours of sulphur were often worse than
the disease and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
OF sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. II. NJ. wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, | have been sur
prsed at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, l have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear i'm four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although Stu
arts Calcium Waters Is a proprietary
article. and sold by druggists, and for
that reason tabooed by many physi-
clans yet l know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipatio liver and
kidney troubles and especially i'm all
forms of skin disease as this remedy"
At any rate, people who are tired OF
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" VIII ind in Stuarts Cal
cium WATERS far safer, more paat-
able and enectiVe preparation.

CHINESE VERY BITTER
Missionary Says Exclusion Law IL
Responsible for Antl.Amerlcan
Feeling
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Jan. 13.-The Rev. Ar
thur Smith, missionary in China, who
returned yesterday on the Siberia, is
visiting friends in this city. The mis-
sionary said last night:
The strong anti-foreign feeling in
China is due in large part to the de-
feat of Russia by Japan. The Chinese
are. awakening to the fact that they
are not subject people. The feeling
against the United States is very Bit
ter because of the exclusion act. This
feeling is heightened by imaginary
wrongs and exaggerated descriptions
of indignities heaped on Chinese in
this country, as sent home by Chinese
In the United States. But China as a
whole has come to the belief that it is
easier and cheaper to carry on mega
tive war against the United States than
TO attack missions and kill mission
aries. The country has learned that
where there Is no violence there is no
punishment to follow. This feeling is
confined to the coast cities, however,
and 1 do not believe that it would be
safe for an American to venture into
the interior provinces.
What the more intelligent of the
Chinese want is that the exclusion act
shall be intelligently interpreted and
shall be enforced only against those
classes whom 1t is meant to affect"

! BRAIN FOOD AND REPAIRER.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician. author or business man Is
forced under pressure OF modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion. albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phi osphate of
potash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
of the drug shop, for nature rejects It.
The elemental mineral must be pre-
scented through food directly from Ma

ROUTE OF NEW LINE TO COAST
Work to Be Pushed on Big Extension
of Milwaukee & St. Paul.

The route to be followed by the Mil
waukee & ST. Paul from the Missouri
river to Seattle is decided on practically.
It will be made public in full detail
when the agents of the road have com
pleted the taking of options on property
needed at various points for rignu of
way, yards. division terminals, etc.
It appears that most of the benefit of
the construction traffic Will accrue 10
the Northern Pacific. The work is evil
IDENTIFY to be pushed from four points
at once, and perhaps from five. Grading
is now going on from Evarts, S. D., 400
miles west over the Montana line. The
second division starts in Montana and
carries the construction west almost
to the Idaho line. From Seattle east
ward the engineers have carried the
surveys through the Cascades, and ac-
tive work is under way. From -Ellens-
burg, on the Yakima river in Washing
ton, grading is expected to begin toward
the eastern boundary of Washington
within the next few days.
The Northern Pacific will carry prac-
tically all the construction material
used on the second division of this work
and on the two sections from Seattle
and Ellensburg. The Pacific Coast
company, through the Columbia &
Puget Sound railroad, will share in the
carrying of business for the section
from Seattle. 1t is now unlikely that The
middle division. across Idaho, will be
built east and west from the Northern
Pacific and Oregon Short Line around
Lewiston.

Plans of the Rock Island to
Enter New Orleans.
President Nincheu Announces
the Arrangements.
TO BE I'm DALLAS JUNE 1
Will Use the Terminals of the
Santa Fe There.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Chicago, May 15.-President B. F.
Winchen of the Chicago. Rock Island
& Pacific system has made some inter
esting announcements as to the com
pany's plans to secure an entrance
into New Orleans. BY the acquisition
of half interest in the Trinity &
Brazos Valley road, which was done
by the Frisco. the two systems have
been greatly benefited in the gulf
trade
By taking half interest in the Val
ley route, the Rock Island has a line
from Cleburne to Mexia and beyond, a
branch line now building from league
City, in Freestone county, through
Corsicana to Waxahachie; trackage
rights over the Katy from Waxa-
hachie to Dallas. and the right to use
Santa Fe tracks from C1eburne to Fort
Worth and from Houston to Galveston.
The Frisco has acquired all the
rights of the Colorado Southern, New
Orleans & Pacific, constructing or ac-
curing line from Baton Rouge
through Beaumont to Houston, and by
the deal gets into New Orleans from
Baton Rouge through trackage over
the Illinois Central The. line is ex-
pected to be completed by January 1
of next year.
The Rock Island is nearing com
pletion of the Rock Island, Arkansas
& Louisiana line in Arkansas. which
will give a line from Little Rock to a
point within twenty-five miles of Alex
andria, La, and during the present
year 1t is expected that the line will be
extended from Alexandria to a point
on the FriscoS new possession in
Louisiana, either near Opelousas or
Eunice, giving the Rock Island a di-
rect line from its ChoctaW main line
into New Orleans.
The Rock Island-Frisco system will
have favorable location through the
Texas and Louisiana timber regions.
1nsuring return hauls Of lumber and
other products for cars which carry
grain or other products to Galveston
or New Orleans.
Unless present plans miscarry, June
1 will see the contamination of ar
rangements whereby the Rock Island
will use Santa Fe terminals in Dallas.
and will use a similar Arrangement
made between the Rock Island and
Cotton Belt. It will be more far reach
ing, however. in that the Cotton Belt
viii use the terminal facilities of the
Rock Island at Fort Worth
Ever since Its entrance into Dallas
december 1, 1903, the Rock Island has
used the Santa. F'e station and terminal
property, and it was reported last De-
cernber, when the 6c=tract was re-
newed for six months only, that some
change might occur.
It appears now, and Ia cks only Of
fetal notice, that the present plan is
to have the Rock Island trains enter
the Cotton Belt station. Rock. Island
men incline to the belief that with
this change. the Rock Island Will ac-
lively enter the field for Dallas Fort
Worth passenger business, the change
enabling the road to cut 20 minutes off
the time of the night train schedules.
putting the Rock Island in better
position to compete with the other
Dallas-Fort Worth lines.
