Governor Hayward has ac-
cepted a sudden heat and pas. pas
sion" apology from Major John
Black, who halls from the Cover
nor's county, and he permltsBlack
to remain on the Board OF Dlrec'
tors. If Black will get up an,
other case of sudden heat and
passion" and shoot Fraser Lyon
for doing his sworn duty, he may
be safe IN the hands of his coun-
tv man, Governor Hayward. The
investigating committee may as
well throw up the sponge if the
chief executive viii not afford
its members any protection. We
regard the Governors action in
this matter the mistake Of his
entire administration. He had
an opportunity to show firm
character butfailed to graspit. It
would have been a pity for John
Black to lose his job simply be-
cause he committed an outrage
in sudden heat and passion.

The Romantic Air OF F-.sco.

San Francisco is permeated with an
air of romance and adventure. No
where may one turn without being re-
minded Of the legends that have been
woven around the forty-niners and
their immediate followers. The names
Of the streets and Of the business
blocks, such as Kearney, Sutter, Mont
gomery, Dupont, Flood, Croker and
Sharon, bring to the mind Of the visitor
long forgotten stories of rist or adven-
ture and Of fortunes whose yastness
once excited his wonder or made him
incredulous. To read the words that
are painted upon the street cars Of San
Francisco is to be carried back in fan
cy to the time when the city was peo-
pied only ~ those who, having turned
from all else that men hold dear, had
gone in search of fortune and found 1t,
always just as they were about to give
up in despair and die OF starvation or
succumb to the hardships with which
human endurance could no longer cope.

diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

Stack & W. F. Stack gave their
brother, A. G. Stack, an inter,

increased so that they took in
the fourth brother, Henry F.
