from kidney trouble for more than
eighteen years, and his end was ex-
pected by his family.
The passing of the aged pioneer re-
calls to the minds of the old residents
of the city the eventful career of the
deceased. Coming to California IN
March. 1853, Hinton at ouce sought
work at his trade as printer. He
soon laid the basis of the firm of Hin
ton & George, through his association
with Henry George. Later Hinton
founded the Evening Post and engaged
in a general publishing business. He
was intimately associated with the
founders of The Call and Bulletin.
In middle life Hinton entered the
political field as a public minded citi-
zen. and was chosen Supervisor. He
also served under Governor Budd as
Registrar of Voters in this city and
filed the chair of DR.. Stanton of the
railroad commission upon the death OF
the physician. Hinton was we'll known
in all municipal circles under the old
regime. and was said at one time to
have as many friends as any man in
San Francisco.
Being interested in politics, Hinton
had many acquaintance, but during
his last few years he was pitifully de-
serted. His friends of former times
had passed away. In the early hours
of the morning the old man was fire.

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

ave express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied TO several doctors and hospitals,
each Of which gave us something differ
elG every time, but nothing brought re-
Lief A physician recommended a salve
which we threw into the FIRE after two
days use as the eczema became worse
so that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one Of our friends recommended to
us Cutcura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. 4 few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since thcn we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint-
ment, costing in all $l.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into the doctors lap. /
myself only make twelve dollars week
as g tsamster, but I recommend the
Cuticura Remedies stronglyto all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
esses. They are cheap, harmless and
good. c. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East

DIVORCED COUPLE
WAR OVER GEMS

Miss Maud Lux of 2117 Howard
street, the divorced wife of William
Howard Baker, appeared before Bond
and Warrant Clerk Mccarthy yester-
day and asked that a warrant be
issued for the arrest of her former
spouse for the theft of $500 worth of
jewelry. She alleged that her safe de-
posit box at the Western National
Bank had been opened and the jewels
taken. The case was of such import
ance that Detective Harry Braig was
detailed. He ascertained that the
jewelry, amounting to $4,000 was safe
in the bank, but that the ex-husband
had at least $1,000 worth of jewelry
belonging to his former wife :
In making the complaint Miss Lux
said that she had been married to
Baker eight years ago. Mutual diff
ferences caused them to separate After
the divorce about q year ago, she pined
for the companionship of her former
spouse and made advances. He ap-
parently received them, although at
the same time he Is said to have placed
the majority of his affections in the
keeping of another woman. The for
mer wife was aware of this fact, but
thought if she showed her former hus-
band a sufficient amount of confidence
and love he would return to her. The
result was that he secured two dia-
monds from her valued at $1,000 and
created the suspicion that he had gone
to the bank and secured the $4,000
worth of jewelry. She insisted on a.
warrant and said she would appear
today to get It.

CLERKS GIVE COLD
DEAL To ARDENT
ST. VALENTINE
Postal Employees Balk at
Extra Hour and GaudyI
Love Tokens Lie Unsorted
COMPLAIN AGAINST
FOREMAN DONNELLY

With $4,000 valentines perfumed with
messages of love piled up in the post
Offices, twenty-six clerks put on their
coats at 2:3o yesterday morning and
refused to work any longer. They had
finished a toilsome eight hours labor
and they gave Foreman Donnelly to
understand that the request of Post
master Fisk that they should work for
nine hours to relieve the congestion
without additional compensation was
100 much for human nature to endure.
The result was that the bulk of the
tender missives was not delivered un-
til very late in the day.
The fact that the postoffice clerks
throughout the United States have or
ganized the Postoffice Clerks Union,
with mem bership in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, gave rise to many
wild reasons that the whole force had
walked out on strike for eight hours.
But such did not appear to be sthe
case. The letter carriers are protected
by act of Congress and are not allowed
to toll more than eight hours in any
one day, under penalty of immediate
discharge, but other employees are not
so fortunate and are supposed to work
until given permission to leave. Assis-
tant Postmaster McClaughrey said yes
terday that there was no efght-hour
law or regulation Tor other than car
riers, but that ii was the policy of
the department to keep the time down
as near to eight hours as possible.
Thus the average daily time during
January was hours 43 minutes, this
average being brought up by the sta
tion men, who work nine hours, but
the station men do not work at night
Late yesterday afternoon twenty
clerks called upon Postmaster Fisk
and informed him that it was not that
! they objected to being on duty longer
! than eight hours, but because the fore
man, D. F. Donnelly, had Disseminated
against their shift and made them
work longer than other shifts, which
/ they considered to be discrimination
against them. Fisk promised to in
vestigate the matter and relieve the
| situation. The men went back to work
/ cheerfully.

Chinese Victimizes an
American Institution and
Flees Across the Pacific
DETECTIVES SEEK
TO LOCATE HIM

The Pinkerton detective agency and
the police departments of Oakland and
San Francisco are endeavor1ng TO To-
cate in China an American born Mon
golian, Woo Ang by name, who recently
raised draft from SIS to $4,000, Sc
cured a bill of exchange for the latter
sum, sailed across the Pacific and
cashed the draft in Hongkong. AT the
custom-house it was stated yesterday
that the institution thus victimized was
the Central Trust Bank of Oakland. At
the Oakland bank it was asserted that
the fraud had been perpetrated upon
an Eastern financial institution for
which the Central Trust Bank acted as
agent. The fact remains, however, that
the willy Mongolian picked up $4,000 of
American gold, enough to make him a
John D. Rockefeller among his people.
and has buried his identity among
400, 900, 900 of his countrymen, so much
alike that a foreigner cannot distin-
guish between them
The main hope Of capturing the
Oriental fies in the chance that, show
ing disposition to splurge with his
suddenly accumulated wealth, he may
endew a college or two, build hos
pital and otherwise give to charity,
thus rendering himself conspicuous.
The police see another opportunity in
the fact that he might some day re-
turn to America, where he could be
identified upon landing at San Fran
cisco by the photograph and Bertillon
measurements which were taken at the
time of his departure.
On January the Chinese. dressed in
the height of fashion and with his
hair cut in American style. approached
the cashier of the bank and presented
draft, supposed to be for $4,000. drawn
on the Hanover Bank of New York.
When told that he must be identified,
he stated that that would be easy. but
as he did not desire to secure the cash
on this side of the Pacific, he merely
asked for a bill of exchange on a bank
in Hongkong. He said the draft was
given him by a man named Woods in
small Kentucky town. The Chinese
added that he intended to leave on
the steamer the next day for China,
and the cashier of the bank believing
he would have ample opportunity to
ascertain If the paper. was good before
Woo reached Hongkong. gave him the
bill of exchange.
But Woo cashed his bill of exchange
in Hongkong before the fraud was
discovered and beyond the fact that he
is China the detectives have no c1ew
to his whereabouts.
