SAN FRANCISCO'S FUTURE
j. M. Schneider of Boston Store Gives
Glowing Account of Northern
CitY's Activity

j. NJ. Schneider, president of the j..
w. Robinson company Qhe Boston
dry goods store), has returned from
San Francisco, where he went on a
purchasing trip. He brings glowing
accounts of the progress being made
in the rebuilding of the northern city
and says it will not be many years
until new San Francisco is better than
San Francisco before the earthquake.
There is ever increasing activity in
all lines of business and the people
seem to have plenty of western push
to carry them through all the hard
places" said Mr.. Schneider. Il was
astounded at the improvements which
have been made already, for it seems
almost incredible that so few months
could make such % difference"
Mr. Schneider is one of the men most
actively interested in the coming Fiesta
and it is his belief that the carnival
of the flowers will be even more at
tractive this year than on former oc-
casions.
There is really nothing new about
the Fiesta at present, for it is little
too soon to give more than general
idea of our plans, but everything looks
very promising said he.

Books

One day 1 ventured into one of the
numerous book stores of the Holmes
Book company. and I was surprised al
the number of books on every conceiv-
able subject they carry, The first book
laid my hands on was Plato's I'm
mortality of the Soul" and the price
marked on the inside cover was the
small sum of 80 cents. venture to say
that If Plato had dreamed that people
would some day read his grand work
for such small sum he would not have
bothered his head to write it. Forum
ately, however, time is the essence OF
progress, and the modern printer Is do
ing wonders.
People who are inclined to study, and
everyone ought to be, can find every
imaginable work at very small cost
in any one OF the numerous stores
owned by Mr.. Holmes. No one will fail
to enjoy reading, for instance. Emer-

Constipation


A gentleman wants to know what to
do for a severe case of constipation
| He says that he has taken all kinds OF
medicine but 1t is doing him no good.
| 1t is the same story that repeats it.
| self over and over and over again, and
| no matter how many times people are
| told that medicines do not cure, but re-
lieve temporarily, and more often than
not bring about a more serious condi-
| ton, it seems to do them no good.
True, it is difficult to overcome early
training; but, think, it is about time
that people should commence to realize
that if they really wish to be we'll they
must stay well. People must as far as
1t is in their power prevent an attack
of any kind and constipation especially
can be easily prevented.
There are few simple rules that one
must follow strictly. in order to get rid
of an attack of constipation. In the
first place eliminate as much as possi-
BILE the more solid foods, such as meats
of all description. Secondly, soon after
arising in the morning and before
breakfast drink a glass of hot water.
Avoid breakfast If you possibly can
help 1t, but If you must put something
into your stomach, eat baked apples, or
any other nourishing fruit. Should you
eat some breakfast, see to it that dur
ing certain hour, preferably at a GER
tain minute, you retire to a place and
remain there for about ten minutes, in
order to satisfy law of the body.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages, tea
or coffee; do not smoke too much: do
not worry. Be calm, and; however little
you may know about suggestion try to
practice some, especially when you
make the attempt to satisfy the law of
the body above n entioned. Take no
medicine of any kind, no matter who
gives or recommends 1t to you. For
what you are after is a cure, and the
only way to effect a cure for constipa-
tion is to put in the stomach as little
as possible of nourishing foods and none
at all that do not nourish. There is no
record of single case of starvation be-
cause the Individual ate little and elm
mated the more solid foods entirely for
short period; hence do not fear of
dying from starvation.
Eat nuts of all kinds. A small sack
OF peanuts and an apple or two before
retiring make an excellent cathartic.
Eat plenty of vegetables mixed with
pure olive oil. Eat few ripe olives at
mealtime. Contrary to general impress
sion regarding breakfast foods, So
called, l advise that none shall be eaten
in the morning, and If eaten at any
other time of the day, eat sparingly
and use as little cream as possible.
Above all, think less of being consti-
pated, and that you must do something
for it, Do nothing but be discreet in
matters of food. Give your stomach a
rest and your bowels will take a vaca-
ton, so to speak, of their own accord.

last, but not least, their intellectual
shortcomings
From time since the memory OF
man rnuneth not to the contrary" and
IN the majority Of cases in our own
time, parents train their children ac-
cording to the training they had them
selves; In consequence, and just so long
as people will build social and relig-
ious fences around themselves, hate
will remain a mental characteristic.
This characteristic, however, Is not
found an one of more or less unllm-
tied intelligence, but in those who, for
one reason or another, do not cultivate
their within.
There is no poison I know of in the
whole materia medica or vegetable
kingdom that destroys as quickly and
relentlessly the finer nature of an in
dividual, however limited 1t may be,
as hate. Hate, by reason of It's finite
origin, polsons the mind and literally
consumes the individual. 1t Is a for
eign poison, and like any other poison,
when once taken 1t does It's deadly
work. Hate has caused and will cause
more misery and destroy more races
and natiops than the most deadly arm
aments human ingenuity can invent.
have said above that love Is natural,
| and hate, the counterpart of love, is
unnatural. Does 1t not follow that one
| can easily cultivate a mental state of
love? Personally / cannot understand
how a reasonable individual can culti-
| vate n mental state of hate at all.
However, 1t is in our midst-we see 1t,
we feel it. 1t Is poison that cannot be
readily eradicated, but will be in time.
Mankind Is getting wiser and, as COM
pared with the past, its members are
more honest with themselves.
Mankind is sadly in need of honest
teachers, who know how to and do
teach their fellow men to cultivate
mental states of love. 1 can think of
nothing that can be cultivated as easily
and with as sure an effect as mental
states of love. Cultivation of love is
not subject to the elements of nature,
but only to the disposition of the indi-
vidual. Love is the most precious gift
| that man or woman can cultivate. Love
| always finds a ready market, so to
| speak. There is not a spot on earth
| that does not harbor a weary soul try
ing to find its affinity, for the purpose
of drinking the spirit of love. Love is
the most sacred gift man can boast of
at any time on earth; therefore culti-
vate it-give it away. You will find
| that the more you cultivate of it the
more you will have not only for your
| selves but for your fellow men also.
| Let no one ever forget that the uni
verse is eXtant because something or
somebody loves it. The Infinite power
| that rules the universe loves it. There
is love everywhere in nature. Every
time we breathe we inhale love; but,
| alas, the hate eXtant in many-too
many-individuals consumes it faster
than they inhale it. Love mankind
however unkind some may be to you
Try it-practice 1t, and you will find
that your worst enemies will at heart
love you in return. Again 1 say, culti-
vate, practice and radiate love. Once
cultivated, you will not part with your
mental state of love for all the material
riches the universe contains.

Senator Bcveridge of Indiana Ex-
presses His Opinion.

Washington, Feb 13.-In discussing
the controversy between the French
government and the Vatican Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, in a speech at
Carroll institute, in part said:
with the purely governmental con-
troversy between any nation and Its
citizehs or subjects we Americans, as
a nation, have nothing to do. In such
questions we Americans as individ.
uals may have our personal opinion,
but not an official opinion. But when
any government on earth grounds its
policy in an attack on religion itself
then it is time for all men who be-
lieve In the gospel to speak out In
protest. For such an attack is the
beginning of a movement against all
religion and it's end Is to dethrone the
Saviour of the world as the sovereign
of the spiritual and moral empire OK
mankind. 1t affects all churches
equally.
II wonder il men who talk so boldly
OF exterminating our faith understand
what would happen if that faith were
dethroned. How long do you suppose
the republic would last II all the
churches were turned into factories
and all the preachers and priests
ministers of the same gospel-ceased
forever their holy vocation? How Ions
would society itself endure? Men
have rebel!ed against the intolerance
of dogma; men should no less rebel
against the intolerance of politics
Men have resisted intolerance OF the
church, both Protestant and Catholic;
men should no less resist the intoler
ance of the state whether republican
or monarchlal."

London, Feb. 13.-The most sensa-
tional art burglary since 1876, when
Gainsborough's The Duchess of Dew
onshire," now the property Of j. Pier
pont Morgan, was stolen by an Amer
ican, occurred at Charles Wertheim-
er's residence on Park lane during the
night. Several costly canvasses, in
Guiding pictures by Gainsborough and
Reynolds, were cut out of their frames
and carried off. The two Gainsbor-
oughs and a Reynolds were worth to-
gether $4,000. So unskillfully were
the pictures cut from their frames
that they have been irretrievably
ruined even If they should be recov-
cred. The thieves also secured big
haul of Eighteenth century French
snuff boxes, miniatures, etc. They
made their exit from the front door
with their booty, which caused the
alarm bells to ring and aroused the
household. The burglars, however,
got away before the police could be
summoned. The property stolen is
valued at s175,000 in all.

REMAINDER OF THE PASSENGERS
AND CREW DROWN OR PER-
iSH OF EXPOSURE.
DESPERATE BATTLE WITH HIGR SEAS
REFUGEES IN SMALL GOATS UN-
ABLE TO REACH SAFETY
, ON FRAIL CRAFT.

Block Island, r. l., Feb. 13.-Only
nineteen out of an estimated total OF
from $50 to 200 persons survived the
sinking Of the Joy line steamer Larch-
mont In Block Island sound during the
night. OF the saved eight were pas
sengers, six men and two women, and
the rest were members Of the crew,
including Captain McVey The Larch-
mont, which was bound from Provi-
dence, r. l., to New York, went down
after colliding with the schooner
Harry Knowlton. The survivors
reached this island in small boats. In
the boats which carried the survivors
were the bodies of several passengers
who had frozen to death during the
trip from the wreck to the land.
1t is impossible to accurately fix the
number Of those lost. Captain McVey
estimated the number of passengers
as 15O and the crew as fifty. On the
basis of these figures the number of
those who perished was placed at 1S1
The bodies of the victims Of the
disaster were being washed ashore
constantly BY noon eighteen had
been taken from the water.
The collision between the Larch-
mont and the schooner occurred about
three miles off Watch Hill, r. l. The
Harry Knowltcn, which was bound
from South Amboy for Boston with
coal, foundered few hours after the
accident, but Captain Frank 7. Haley
and crew of six men escaped in the
ships boats and reached shore at
Watch Hill.
Boats swamped by High Seas.
According to Captain McVey of the
Larchmont the steamer remained
afioat barely ten minutes after the
collision Boats and RATS were
launched hastily and in them passen-
gers and crew waged desperate bat
tie with high seas and strong gales.
The night was extremely cold and
many died from exposure. Five boats
and four RATS. carrying nineteen sur
vivors and the bodies of eleven dead,
managed to reach Block Island. Sur
vivors expressed the opinion that all
on board the Larchmont had secured
places In boats or RATS, but that many
of the boats were swamped and many
persons were swept away by the seas
or had fallen overheard overcome by
the cold.
Captain McVey said he could not
estimate the exact loss OF life at this
time. His steamer left Providence
late in the evening and at the time Of
the collision Captain McVey had not
had an opportunity to examine the
passenger list, which had been hand
ed to him just before his steamer left
Providence. The captains estimate
of the number Of those on board
agrees. however, with the estimate
made by the Joy line officials at
Providence. who said that the Larch-
mont carried about $50 passengers
and a crew Of fifty.
The Inhabitants of all parts Of the
island turned out to assist In rescue

SEVERAL DEATHS RESULT.
Zero Weather Causes Suffering u
New York City.

New York, Feb 13.-The cold wave
which swept down on the city during
the night sent the mercury from well
UP in the thirties down almost to the
zero mark. A strong wind which pre-
vailed in the early hours of the day
added much to the discomfort.
AS Is usual when the mercury goes
tumbling there were tenement house
fires during the early hours of the day.
AT least two deaths are known to
have resulted from the cold in the
city. Neither of the victims has been
identified. One man was found lying
dead in Brooklyn and another man
was found dead in hallway in First
avenue, Manhattan. He apparently
had gone into the hallway to sleep
and had been overcome. Several
other persons who had been overcome
by the cold were found unconscious in
the street and were removed to hos
pitals.
