SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOLS
An Appeal to the Country for Aid in
 Their Rehabilitation.

An appeal has been sent out from San Francisco for aid in the restor- ation of it's schools. The following circular signed by Mayor Schmitz, Aaron Altman, president of the board of education and Alfred Roncovieri superintendent of schools has been sent out:
 Thirty-four schools were burned after the earthquake of April IS, 1906 As a consequence more than four hun dred teachers and twenty thousand children have no class rooms.
 The great destruction of property, the extraordinary demands upon the public purse in every direction, and the absorption of individuals and officials in their special interests, leave the school authorities confronted with the prospect of interminable delay in the erection of new building unless out side aid is secured.
 The following telegram was re- ceived while the great fire was raging. and the offer therein was gratefully accepted:
 Galveston, Texas, April goth. 1906.
 A Roncoviere Supt Public Schools. san Francisco, CaI.-Galveston public schools were rebuilt and maintained after the great storm of 1900 by volun- Tary contributions from the school children of the United States Will you accept contributions from Calves ton school children to aid in restoring your public schools; answer.

 Board"
 Many other generous subscriptions nave been received, and in order that this movement may become known the mayor, the board of education and su- erlntendent of schools have been con- sututed a committee to be called the school Reconstruction committee. en- powered to receive such subscriptions as may be rendered for the purpose of rebuilding our destroyed schools.
 For the present schools are being conducted in tents furnished by the United States military authorities in Golden Gate park. Soldiers serve as truant officers; a drill sergeant puts the boys through setting-up exercises. Stow lake furnishes opportunity for swimming lessons. so that the bows and girls are enjoying the summer session; but the cold winds of the win ter season and the driving rains will transform this enjoyment to misery Temporary structures must be utilized but the great need is expedition in the erection of our permanent school houses.
 The first cash contribution came from the boys and girls of Broken Arrow. Creek Nation, Indian Territory-a beautiful illustration of the kinship of the peoples of our beloved country.

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
 Ills STOMACH

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia and his muscles would soon fail. Physi- cal strength is derived from food If a man has insufficient food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies Food is con- verted into nutrition through the stom- ach and bowels. It depends on the strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. Feople can dle of starvation who have abundant food to eat, when the stomach and it's associate organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duty Thus the stomach is really the vital or gan of the body. If the stomach is svweakH the body will be weak also. because it is upon the stomach the body relies for it's strength. And as the body, considered as a whole, IS made up of its several mem- bers and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of rweak stom- ach will be distributed among the or gans which compose the body. If the body IS weak because it is ill-nOurShed that physical weakness will be found in all the organs-heart, liver kidneys, etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive, giving rise to biliouSneSS, loss of appetite weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of heart, palpitatiOn, dizziness, headache, oackache and kindred disturbances and weaknesses
 Mir. Louis Pare. of Quebec. writes: vFor years after my health began to fail. my head grew dizzy. eyes pained me. and my stomach was sore all the time, while evervthin0 I would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead on my stomach The doctors claimed that It was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia, and prescribed for me- and although I took their powders regularly yet l felt no better Ny wife advised me to try Dr. Pferce's Golden Medlcai DlScovery-and stop taking the doc tors medicine.

ence, though at times unable to raise his hand, he asked no man for aims, and even acts of friendship, when tinged with pity, jared on his senses like harsh words uttered to q child. At all times ready with the open hand of charity towards the needy,
 he asked not the source from whence such need had come but dropped his mite within the extended hand of
 want with the freedom of a western Croesus. Dying slowly for a score of months he never lost his nerve, nor yet one sunbeam from his heart. and when a friend had eased him on his last bed of pain. drawing his aching limbs to lighter rest, he answered: That is good" and then without a murmur or a sigh, Big Hearted Lou passed over to the Other Side" as gently as a child would pass to sleep. And thus we lay him in the earth unheeding, that with the clods that drop upon his lowly head should drop our tears of grief; and many an eye unused to tears grew dim and turned away, deeming it strange that simple death should still release the wells of sorrow.
 Thus passes one who had his place upon the stage of life and in his time played many parts; a man whose heart was greater. truer. freer than any kings; who trod the toughest trails that western life has blazed. yet gath cred every flower on his way and placed them where the world might learn the beauty of their tints and breathe their fragrance.

DEAD SHIPS" OF MAINE.
Phantom Craft That Cruise the Mists
and Bring Bodings of Good or Ill.

From the Thomaston tMe.) Herald.
The approaching Longfellow anniversary
recalls some of the dead ships" of Maine
which always interested him. There are
still living in Harpswell, Me-, aged men
who believe in her dead ship'-a pic
turesque tradition familiar to them from
childhood and readily accepted as truth
by these old men OF the sea. who share
the superstitions of all sailors and whose
fancies lean to the romantic and pic
turesque-
Harpswell is not the only locality that
numbers a phantom ship among her tradi-
tional and misty belongings, but her phan-
tom has been immortalized in the verse of
Longfellow and is thus distinguished from
the common sort of ghost ships that are
told of in ship chandleries all along shore

Maryland Copper.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Copper Is being mined In paying quanti-
tres in Maryland" said William Wagner.
THE mines are not recent discoveries, but
have existed since colonial times. The most
primitive methods were used in working
the mines, and much good ore was cast
aside because the operators had no means
of properly treating the ore. When the
civil war began work on all of the Mary
land properties was brought to a stand
still During the years of that struggle
no one in that state ever thought of work
ing the copper mines. and after peace had
been declared operations were spasmodic,
and finally ceased altogether.
1.-The owners of the properties had lost
most of their fortunes in the war and were
unable TO operate the mines which lay
Idle until within the last few years"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-11-12

from Eastport to Kittery. Longfellow had
the story of the Harpswell apparition from
old sailors of Harpswell Neck, who were
full of superstitious lore and believed In
their romances of the sea as much as they
did In the stories of John Paul Jones or
the fight off Monhegan between the Enter
prise and the Boxer.
The Harpswell people declared that the
dead ship came often to their shores, al
though she never reached the harbor. She
came always at dusk and generally in
stormy weather, appearing in the offing
and coming straight on, with all sail set.
only to fade away like a mist when close
in. Not only the Harpswell folk, but the
fishermen of the islands of Casco bay, be-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-11-12

to be seen upon her decks, no hand at her
helm. and she came on with neither flap
of sail nor creak of block, like veritable
spirit ship. She was much like the cele-
brated Flying Dutchman, or the phantom
vessel of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner"
In the days when Longfellow formed his
friendships at Harpswell there were still
the name that was borne by the phantom
ship when she was a reality of oak and
iron and sailed the seas with sturdy
Yankee crew. The fishermen affirmed that
they had been personally acquainted with
her captain and with members of her
crew. all of whom were lost when the
ship went down on the reefs of the Neck
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-11-12

lieved in the phantom and In the i'll omen
of her coming-that her appearance off
shore was sure sign that within month
crepe would hang upon the door, of one
of those who had seen her. Longfellow,
who had spent much time in the company
of these sailor-fishermen, heard and was
familiar with all their tales. and, selecting
the most picturesque of these, he wove
them into the poem that is so familiar to
readers of his works
The Harpswell tars told the poet all the
details of the ghost ships appearance
how she seemed always to come in a fog
or mist. although the weather at the time
might be perfectly clear. No crew was
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-11-12

and thus became a phantom, and the poet
tells us that in his day there sat in the
shipyards of Freeport aged men who had
hewed the heavy oaken timbers that made
her frame From all this the belief of
early Harpswell men in the phantom ship
seems natural enough. and their belief has
been handed down to the present genera
ton. although no one claims to have seen
the phantom In recent years. Her last ap-
pearance. it Is said, was about the year
1878, at which time she was seen by four
or five persons, some of whom are yet
to the apparition looming up off Harps-
well Neck in the dusk of November

in prison who asked him for help in getting

you last winter. When your portrait was
being painted, the artist hired me as lay
