Another meeting was held at the
Commercial club last evening to
discuss the Erie shop propositi ~ =.
Enthusiasm, instead of being de-
creasing is becoming more intense

ing was all that coul1 be asked.
The mention of the Commercial
Club in connection with the prop
osition whic.l is now before the
people should not 10 be taken to
mean that the club alone has the
matter in hand. While it is true
that the club members and officials
have taken 2 very active pant in
Lhe work so far, they have not
been alone. The enthusiastic and
unanimous support of the whole
citizenship,whether members of the
club or not, has been enlisted and
to this fact is due the great strides
which have been made.
There is practically nothing TO
add to what has previously been
SAID regarding developments as
stated, yesterday, much depends
upon the report made by the repre-
Sentatives of the mechanical and
engineering departments, who in

his activities he neglected to remove the box from the floor. Detective Burns found it there, having been directed by Ruef in a confession.
 Ruef $ caution did assist to some de- gree in his downfall, however. The boo dle in the trolley deal, total of $400,- 900, was passed in two payments of S200,000 each. All the available sup ply of currency in San Francisco was exhausted each time. It was necessary to use thousands of one dollar bills and other small denominations.
 The supervisors in their confessions all declared that the money came to them in heaps of small paper money. The circumstance that the railway com pany elamored for currency and had re- ceived large quantities of small bills was an important link for the prose cutors.
 But on the whole noiseless paper money helped the San Francisco bood- lers in the secrecy of their crimes. It is not to be inferred that they would have stunned gold, silver, copper or anything, in fact, according to the tes timony that has been given, but the fact remains that currency is a eonven- fence to the boodler.

Poisoned by Face Cream


 Oxide of zinc
 Bismuth
 Bichloride of mercury.
 That's what the city chemist devel- oped yesterday in an analysis of face cream, or face food, sample of which was handed to Mayor Beardsley by two women. They complained that they had bought the stuff of druggist for 25 cents, and this is what happened to them after they had applied some of it to their faces:
 Irritation, welts on the skin, itching, fever, swelling of the face, dark puff ing under the eyes, choking sensation, shortening of breath and breaking out at the throat.
 "Zine poisoning" ruled Dr. W. P. Cutler, city pure food inspector, when made acquainted with the symptoms developed by the victims of the face wash.
 "And the serious part of it all is I do not know how to go about it to pre- vent the sale of the stuff and to punish the makers. They can be reached by the pure food law, as the lawmakers ruled that drugs are not food. Be

POODLE MONEY
Advantage of Paper Over Gold Shown
 in San Francisco

Here is new phase of the paper money question::
 The banks of San Francisco had for a year or more been mystiied by an un. preeedented demand for currency. The people of the Golden State have always eschewed Uncle Sam s notes; they have insisted. on the heft and ring of coin. So when calls came in on the cashiers for thousands and thousands in bills the demand was without explanation.
 The currency that reaches the Pacific coast is such as travellers take out with them from the eastern states. The banks make practice of gathering it up for the accommodation of customers about to travel or who wish to forward remit tances in the mails. When this great demand suddenly arose the cashiers were hard put to meet it.
 The revelations made before San Francisco s grand jury as result of the work of Francis J. Heney and Se- eret Service Agent William J. Burns have furnished the solution of the mys- tery.
 Bring me the money in currency, {" was the command of Boss Ruef to the bribe givers.
 The grating to which Ruef has con fesed amounted to about $1,000,00O in year, and in the light of his testimony the drain on the banks is easily ex- plained. Ruef invariably insisted that the poodle money should be paper.
 There would be no jingling, no met allie sound to betray; he handled very large sums, much larger than a man could carry in gold. The boss was eau tion itself.
 Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, the con victed pal of Ruef, does not seem to have appreciated the virtues of paper money for the silent work of the bood- Ter. Under the bed in his Fillmore street home he had box to conceal his wealth. He lined it with plush, that gold might be deposited noiselessly. The precaution was needless, however, for Ruef, who always attended to col lections, was careful to insist on cur rency.
 The mayor vacated the Fillmore street house for the mansion that he built in Vallejo street. In the rush of

the "Star and Garter" at Richmond for three days, and no one was allowed to pay for anything whatever. The door was kept open to all and sundry and the loafer fraternity had fine time of it. He bought pictures like Gilead P. Beck of "The Golden Butterfly, ' and paid thousand pounds for a chromo- Autograph in the belief that he had bought picture by Wilkie; he bought tapestry, without knowing what it was, and he purchased whole stable of horses without looking at them.
 "Coal Oil Johnny" of Oil City was not a whit more reckless in his extrav. agances.
 This thing went on for about six months. At the end of that time l met our Montana man looking rather seedy and downeast. All of his million dollars had been spent and he was on the verge of starvation. Somehow or other he managed to scrape together enough money to pay his fare home, and off he went. Three months later he appeared on the scene again armed once more with contract for mine and the accompanying blue prints. This time it was the great Mir. Hooley who gave him half million dollars for the property. But he had learned to be wise in the meantime, and left not a day between himself and London, but went straight back to Montana, where l hope he is still a respected citizen and millionaire.
 The times have changed and there are no more American company pro- motors in London. The public bought until all its money was spent and when the dividends failed to come in they stopped raising more capital, so that in the end it was extremely difficult for good, sound, responsible fnanciers to obtain capital here. Then came the Barring failure, and the bottom was knocked out of the barrel altogether Town and Country.

PROSPERITY PROMOTERS
London Once Swarmed with Americans
 Who Had Gold Mines to Sell

There was, in the late eighties and the early nineties, when the city of London, in the neighborhod of the Bank of England, fairly swarmed with Amer jeans of all degrees, all well provided with gold mines and silver mines and patents which they were endeavoring to foist upon an unsuspecting British public. If man in the United States had anything to dispose of that he could not readily get rid of at home he man. aged, somehow or other, to scrape to- gether the passage money, after having provided himself with nice set of blue prints of whatever he wanted to sell. Then, on coming to London, he put up at the Victoria hotel, in Northumber- land avenue, which was the home of the financial agent and promoter from across the water, and the rest was easy. There were then no spectators in cor ner lots and garden cities as there is now. Everybody gambled in mines, and the farther away they were the more they seemed to please the public, which insisted, true to the spirit, on gambling in uncertainties. Those were the palmy days of Whitaker Wright and his friends.
 l remember in 1890 man from Mon tana coming here with exactly four shil- lings in one pocket and an elaborately drawn contract for mining property in another. He went to the city on the day after his arrival and sold the thing to Whitaker Wright for million dol lars.
 My Montana friend immediately took suite of rooms at the Savoy hotel and turned things "wide open" He gave a ball in the newly constructed hotel which was the talk of the town and a supper which was attended by the most questionable characters in the metrop- olis; and in those days of milk and honey there were some particularly strange people in London.

oalifornians, Startling Views

It is rather startling thing to listen to the more conservative and cautious Californians in town. They all say that there is no imminent danger of war with Japan, but this is the way they say it:
 No, we are not going to have any war--not now. 1t will be at least two years before the war begins; maybe, to be on the safe side, I had better say a year and half Oh, yes, of course, we are bound to have war with them, but Japan is not ready-won' be ready until then
 A cultivated California woman, re- gently from the coast, said today:
 'tTen years before the Russian war when we would ask our Japanese ser wants in San Francisco if they intended to stay in the United States, they would invariably reply: 'Oh, yes; we shall stay here for eight or ten years. Then there will be war with Russia and we will go home to fight. That is ex- actly the way they talk now about the United States. ''--New York Times.

LIGHTNING HITS
 AND KILLS TEAM
Occupants of Vehicle Returning from Funeral in Cochise County Have a Marrow Escape from Woman Is Badly Shocked.

J. J. Riggs, citizen member of the board of control, yesterday received a letter from Mrs. Riggs, at Dos Cabezas, containing news of the narrow escape of his sister, Mrs. T. B. Stark, and her husband, from death by lightning, says the Gazette.
 The incident occurred while Judge and Mrs. Stark were driving home from the funeral of Branniek Riggs, the aged father of Mir. Riggs and Mrs. Stark, few days ago, at Wilcox. Mrs. Riggs and several other relatives were driving along short distance in front of the Starks, A thunderstorm suddenly came up and both parties hur- ried onward, bent on getting home be- fore the rain began.
 Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the Stark conveyance, both horses dropping dead on the spot. Judge Stark was not injured, but for a time it was feared that his wife was shocked be- yond recovery. Her clothing caught fire, but the flames were quickly extin- guished.
 She was carried unconscious to the home ranch of the Riggs Cattle com .pany, where she quickly revived. Some of the relatives wished to send for a physician, but she declared that she would be all right in a little while. When Mrs. Riggs wrote the letter to Mir. Riggs she was getting along splen- didly and had almost entirely recovered
 The escape was most miraculous one Both horses were killed instantly and only miracle saved Judge Stark and his wife from suffering the same fate.

IT IS THE soUTH's GAME

The New York World has been anal yzing the Democratic party to see how much faith, and it appears that tn, label of the thing has got the principle of the thing beat half way across tho continent. The World would read out of the party Tom Taggart and "Fin gers" Corners. It would expel Tom Grady and Pat McCarren. It would court martial Tom Ryan and August Belmont. It adds that nothing can de. stroy the Democratic party, but its refusal to be Democrat; nothing can crush the Democratic party by itself Samuel J. Tilden said something like that some twOscore years ago, says the Washington Post.
 MT. William J. Bryan, the leader of the Democratic party, likewise is anx- ious to make it a select layout, as when he read MT. Roger Sullivan out of the ranks of the elect in Illinois, and threat ened to drive out all the eastern breth- ren who do not agree with him as to the initiative and referendum. It also IS pretty generally understood that the New York World is not quite sure that Mr. Bryan long ago read the World out of the Democratic Israel.
 In no other quarter of the earth g surface is the initiative and referen. dun quite so odious as among Demo erats of the southern states of the American Union. What Mir. Bryan con. templates doing with those he has not told us. Doubtless it will be plenty.
 It has been shown that there are more sorts of Democrats in this country than there were colors in Joseph s coat. 1t IS manifest that there will not he another Democratic victory in this country until Democrats vote together.
 
 It IS equally clear that pcmocrats will not vote together lntil they think to- gether. That is the kettle of fish that IS set before the party of Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden. There is one issue upon which Democrats think together and would vote together, but the Demo. cratic party has been forbidden to ten der that issue and join battle upon it.
 There are ten months for preparation. As an independent, and a looker-on in Vienna, we have this to say, that the one and only hope of the party in the great struggle of 1908 is for the south, where dwell the heart and the brain of the present-day Democratic party. to emerge from its place below the salt. advance to the head of the table, take it's seat as the head of the family. and make the Democratic party Democratic.
 The Woodrow Wilson's of the east and the William J. Bryans of the west would have to obey the Democracy of the south, if that section should dis cover one-half the virile leadership of the Democracy of the old south
 The game is in the south s hands.

About EYEGLASSES,

Unfortunately there comes a day in
each ones life when the eyes require
outside assistance to accomplish their
usual results. Many are obliged by
slight defects of vision to adopt glasses
quite young, even as children. and 1t Ia
fortunate that science has made such
progress in this branch, for there Is
nothing sadder to see than a blind per
son. Accidental loss Of sight cannot be
overcome, but slight defects may now,
thanks TO the O~culist, be generally
remedied. The wearing Of glasses Is a
trial from the first to last. although
the fitting of the nose glass is reduced
to q fine art. Spectacles are the only
comfortable and satisfactory sort to
year.
1t Is better to wear nose glasses
without a chain, ven at the risk OF
breaking them, for the chain drags the
glasses to one side and frequently
weakens the springs. The chain, too,
twists itself into intricate kinks at in
convenient times and causes a word
or two of mild profanity on the part
OF the wearer II something must be
worn. a cord Is better.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

The FAILING Memory.

The memory is the most easily ia
tigued Of all OH mental faculties. This
would seem almost to follow from the
very nature of this faculty. To recall
an impression already stored up In the
brain necessarily involves effort. Ev.
cry student knows that after a few
hours work the memory loses its pow
err and further effort becomes unprof-
liable. 1t Is consistent with this view
that the memory is the faculty which
first decays with the advance Of age.
With many persons this enfeeblement
sets In before middle life Is past.
Events known to us in youth, when
memory was fresh and strong, can be
recalled In old age, while the things
that happened yesterday readily slip
into oblivion.
