OUsTED FOR KEEPING REQUEST.
San Francisco Doctor Removed from
Head of College.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Charles y. Ellinwood of Cooper
Medical college has been deposed by
the trustees. who charge that he has
retained $500 00G which Mrs. Lane, the
widow Of the late DR.. Lane. founder of
the college, beQueathed him. They
say that as the state institution for
babe Mrs. Lane to give more than one
third of her estate to the college, she
left the remainder to DR.. EllinWOod
with the understanding that he would
donate the sum to the college. as Well
as to Lane hospital.
DR.. EllinWOOd declares the trustees
dismissed him because he worked to
secure the union of Cooper college and
Lane hospital with Stanford universe
ty, Il project which DR.. Lane approved
before his death. The trustees, he says.
feared they would be eliminated if this
took place.
He denies that Mrs. Lane gave any
instructions with the money she left
him.

MANY SNAKES; WANT SOLON.
Argument Is That Bite Remedy Should
be Made Easy of Access.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Feb. 27.-Tio-
ga county long has been known as the
home of the "bellbird,' or rattlesnake.
They are common there, particularly
on the huckleberry mountains, where
parties go and camp several days at
a time. gathering the big blueberries
and laying in their in their winter sup
ply of rattlesnake oil. a common house

There is a new mining town in Nor
ris township about 10 miles south of
the county seat. built by AylesWorth
Brothers of Blossburg. and so frequent
" were these poisonous Tioga county
singers" found in its construction, and
about the mines that the town by COM
mon consent has been called Rather
There are rattlesnake stories told
about the settlement of the place that
make ones blood run cold: how a
WOodsman aWoke and found one in bed
with him. and another coming into a log
stable at night slammed the door after
him on account of storm. and a big
yellow fellow was Jared off the beam
over the door and dropped about his
neck like a necklace.
a prosperous little town has grown
up about these mines. and an enter
prising citizen has applied for a whole
sale license. against which there is said
to be no remOnstrance. Among the
arguments advanced for the necessity
of a license at Rather it is said that
the liability of the inhabitants to snake
bites is so great that plentiful supply
of the never failing, popular remedy as
a preventive and a cure is an absO-
lutte necessity. What weight it will
have if made to the court, is to be de-
termined.

HAVE PERPETUAL Right TO FLOOR

! WASHINGTON, February 27.-The
recent bold stand taken by Speak
er Seaman of the West Virginia leg
/ islature, in warning lobbyists not to
ply their business on the floor of the
house and threatening them with eX-
clusion if such practices did not cease,
! has attracted the attention of MEM
bers of congress to one method that
might be applied to prevent them from
being subjected 10 the opportunities of
this class of citizens. The situation
from that in any other capital in the
country. once d man is member OF
the house. or of the senate, he is for
! ever entitled to the privilege of the
! floor. Thus it happens that the most
valuable lobbyists are men who have
| served in one branch of congress or the
other. There are in Washington today
probably one hundred men, who are
professional lobbyists. although they
call themselves attorneys. They repre-
sent special interests, and not piece
of proposed legislation adversely at
fecting the interests they guard can be
/ introduced that they are not promptly
on hand before committees and on the
| floor og-roling against the bill, utterly
regardless of the merits of the measure.
The value of the privilege of the floor
to men engaged in this business can
easily be understood. They can move
about at will gathering information
and throwing out suggestions and hints
and plying their business of lobbying
and moulding public sentiment with
out being put to the Inconvenience of
sending in for members and button
holing them in corridors. as ordinary
lobbyists are required to do.
This sort of thing has come to be
almost a disgrace. and members who
are not susceptible to the arguments
of these lobbyists are convinced that
the time has come when the rules
| should be changed so that none but
members and members-eleCt should be
permitted to enter upon the floor when
| the house is in session. Several for
! mer members who served in the house
without any particular distinction have
grown rich as 'attOrneys' and may be
seen almost any day at the capito!

MAKING PLANS FOR NEW TOWN.
Southern Pacific Will Have an Army
Of Men at Visitation Bay.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. PA
new town will shortly spring up along
the shores of the southern end of the
bay. Where the sand dunes have
stretched for years lots have been laid
out. cottages will be built. factories
will, in all probability, belch forth
smoke, and Visitation bay will become
a hive of industry.
The fortunes of the new town will be
under the guiding hand of the South
ern Pacific company, although it VIII
be developed by private resources. AL
ready real estate dealers have become
interested in that part of the country
and speculation in the town lots is rife.
One of the features of the new bay
shore cutoff planned by the Southern
Pacific, and now under construction
will be the establishment of freight
yards at Visitation bay. All the
freight that comes into the city by
way of Ogden and Shasta routes VIII
be handled there instead of at OAK
land, as formerly. This Will make san
Francisco a great mainland city anu
will save much time and expense Ill
ferrying the freight cars from the oak
land side of the bay.
AS soon as it was decided by the
Southern Pacific to locate the mann
freight yards at Visitation bay, it al
once became evident that the yards
would attract a small army of en-
plOyes. The problem arose as to no"
the men who would be employed at the
work in the yards should be housed.
The plan was suggested of building
a town along the bay shore, and was
received with favor by the officials
When the yards are completed ii Is
calculated that it will require at least
5000 men to handle the business, ana
these men will be compelled to live at
Visitation bay. The men will form
community of their own. will have their
own government and run their OWN
city. Stores have been planned ana
neat cottages will be laid out. mOdet
town will be added to the suburbs o.
San Francisco.
The work on the yards has ALREADY
started and it is estimated that train
will be running over the new bridge
before a year.

AS said above, Europe has been talk

fitable enough to overcome foreign pre-
judceS These operations place us in
much better position to command

therefore, is that in case of further

CURE FOR MUSCULAR FATIGUE.
Best Method Of Obtaining Sound and
Refreshing Sleep.

Real fatigue may be divided into
the mental and muscular varieties.
The latter is decidedly the simpler OF
the two. Where one has so overworked
physically that one cannot sleep, the
first thing to do is to learn to relax.
In such q case the first thing to do is
TO take a warm bath, into which a lit
tie rock salt has been dropped to coun-
teract the weakening effect of hot wa
ter. Then shut out every ray of light
from your bedroom and lie fiat on
your back Do not close your eyes and
think desperately Of going to sleep. In
stead. devote yourself entirely to the
subject Of keeping your eyes open. II
they close, open them; IL necessary,
even prop them open with your fin
gers; whatever you do, continue to
stare wide-eyed into the darkness, and
most important of all, think of that
one question only. In about five min
utes you will be so sleepy that no will
power on earth could keep you awake.
The one cure for fatigue is rest, and
after prolonged physical effort. the
paramount issue is to get to sleep i'm
mediately, and to sleep as long as pos
sible.

Power Of IMAGINATION.

Illustrating the strange power OF
the imagination. E. F. Benson, author
OF "Dodo." tells this incident. A doc
tor he knew had found 1t necessary to
give patient for many evenings an
injection Of morphia to enable him to
get some sleep. After a while the
doctor thought 1t advisable to stop the
morphia, and for two nights his pa.
uent was unable to sleep, owing to
great pain. On the third night the
doctor. being still unwilling to ad-
minister morhpia. injected plain water
instead. The man slept perfectly and
awoke in the morning with what is
known az q morphine mouth.
