CRAzED FOR WANT OF BOOZE
Startling Eject of the Order Closing
All saloons I'm San
Francisco.

One peculiar and entirely unlocked for
result has attended the proclamation OF
Mayor Schmitz closing up all saloons and
cisco. Many habitual drinkers, suddenly
deprived of their accustomed stimulant.
have been driven temporarily insane.
1t was stated at the Park Emergency
hospital that up to last Sunday night and
for several days previous the average of
insanity cases examined per day had been
forty. The crush of business was so great
that the examining doctors had themselves
to commit the patients, IL being utterly
impossible to put the matter through the
routine channels.
According to DIR. IAwlor OF the emer-
gency service the period Of acute mania
for cases induced by total abstinence from
alcoholic liquors is forty weight hours. At
the end OF that time the patient either be-
comes normal again or is hopelessly in
sane. As the lunacy cases have been
shipped out Of the city 10 the asylums as
fast as possible no results are at hand yet
as to the number that will be classed as
incurable or the number that will be re-
turned as normal Among the number Of
the insane are included many hop fends"
or dope iends," whose weakened sys-
TENS also collapsed when the stimulus OF
their daily drug was taken away Among
the insanity cases are also many cases
induced through nervous shock and strain
brought on by the disaster and the at
tendant circumstances.-Ssn Francisco

KINGS MILLION DOLLAR CLOAK
Most Costly Garment I'm the United

Royalty,

What is probably the most costly garment
in the United States is stored away in a
corner of the United States National
museum at Washington. II is not a femi-
nine gown, nor Is its fashion of any civil
lied country. II is product of savagge
art, being a Hawaiian ceremonial cloak
made of the feathers of birds peculiar to
the islands.
The label beneath II states that It was a
present from King Kamehameha III to
Commodore ]. II. Aulick, L. S. N. and that
it was the mantle of the formers father.

the yellow feathers Of which the cloak
is largely composed were valued at $50
for five.
Not only are these feathers very small.
but the bird TO which they belonged was
very dificult to catch. 1t is estimated
that including the price OF the feathers
not less than 100000 worth of labor was
expended on this cloak.

both curious and interesting.
The cloaks-"mamos' in the native
language-which we're worn only by the
kings and highest chiefs. are OF great
beauty. All the earlier travellers to the
Hawaiian group mention them. Captain
Cook, who. in IT'D was the first TO visit
the islands. was received by the natives
with all the ceremony and alteration which
they thought due TO him as a god, and
their chiefs presented him with several
feather covered cloaks and helmets, which
they regarded as their finest treasures.

4 MAN FOR TALL TIMBER
Russian Giant Who Towers Nine and
Quarter Feet Coming
10 America.

Nine feet three inches of giant, with head,
hands and feet to match, will make his
appearance on a New York roof garden this
summer, II at the last minute. he does not
get spasm Of fright and refuse to sail
from Cherbourg.
This Goliath is Machnow. known in Eu-
rope as the tallest man in the world He
is a Russian peasant, and all told there
are 800 pounds of him-not so very many
considering his great height. His hands,
from the wrist to the tip of the middle fin
ger measure twenty-four inches and his
feet are constructed in proportion. His
head takes a hat big enough for two ordi-
nary men and his fingers require gloves
of great size.
Machnow once had an ofIer to come to
this country and exhibit himself and he
agreed. But just as the boat was about to
sail his tlmidity overcame him and nothing
could induce him to board the steamer.
This time he signed a contract with Oscar
Hammerstein, who believes he will come
at the appointed time.
The giant is married TO a woman OF or
binary size, and is very happy with his
wife, who has to stand on a chair 10 kiss
him. He is in fine health and has a hearty
appetite. For breakfast he devours two
quart bottles OF milk or tea. sixteen boiled
eggs, six or eight loaves of bread and half
pound of butter. For lunch he has two
and a half pounds of meat. Dinner is
more elaborate. this being his menu on
most days: A basin of soup, five pounds Of
meat, five pounds of vegetables, three
pounds OF bread and a quart Or two Of
beer. His 10 o'clock smack consists OF
ten eggs, several loaves of bread and a
quart OF tea.-New York World.

dealer Inflammation of the appendix itself
does not constitute, though 1t starts. the
disease; and so long as only the appendix
is affected, though there may be dlscom-
fort. there is no real pain, the occurrence
of pain giving the signal that the perito-
neum, the smooth membrane covering all
the bowels and lining the abdominal cavity,
has become ihfiamed in that portion which
forms the outer covering OF the appendix.
Appendicitis has increased amazinly in
the last ten or twenty years, due TO the
widespread change OF social habits and
diets The caecum is filled with undi-
gested food, such as tough meats, lobster
CLAIMS, nuts, pineapples, frozen or refrig-
Grated meats, poultry, etc. Tea drink
ing has much TO do with the onset OF the
disease, the beverage being too astringent
for health. Appendicitis is peculiar TO
youth, more than so per cent OF all the
cases occurring under the age OF thirty.
Furthermore, 80 per cent OF the cases are
males.-New York Press.

DANCES GIVEN BY TEACHER
How an EnterDrisInE Montana Girl

Margaret Sullivan of Butte, school
teacher on Modesty creek, a little box OF

to increase the attendance OF pupils and TO

When Miss Sullivan reached the school,
after having secured the appointment as
