at happened in Harlem, says the
New York Press. An old woman car
rying a basket of groceries started
across the street just as a trolley cor
came along at a clip that would have
made a stop within ten cars lengths
apparently an impossibility. The old
woman possibly was deaf, for she
walked to the center of the tracks,
and the motorman evidently hadn't
thought she would do It, for he made
no effort to check his car until the
old woman stopped. knowledge Of
her position suddenly burst upon her
but she couldn't move, and the car
was so close by this time that her
death appeared inevitable.
Whether he has a more powerful
brake than ordinary or such superhu-
man strength that be was able to ac-
complish what didn't seem possible,
but at any rate the motorman brought
his car to sudden stop within foot
of the old woman. So sudden was
1t that passengers were jerked from
their seats and the brake handle was
SO far out, and the motorman. with
both hands on it, had leaned SO far
forward that he was tumbled over the
dashboard and fell on the woman he
had saved.
The old woman was knocked to her
hands and knees, but not injured by
the motorman's fall, and the motor
man, too, escaped even a bruise, but
crushed the basket OF groceries be-
meath his weight. The old woman
saw this first, her precious eggs, meat
and vegetables ruined in the dirt, and
scrambling to her feet she made vio-
lently for the man who had saved
her life but destroyed the family
fodder. Ratified and dazed he ducked
her clawing fingers, and ran twice
around the car with her in wild pur-
suit before a man on the street
stopped laughing long enough to seize
the belligerent old lady and enable
the motorman to Jump on the plat
form, turn on the power and escape
the fury.
Il guess she wouldn't have been
so fighting mad II I'd killed her." was
the way the motorman described it in
speaking Of the reward she had given
him for saving her from death.

When former Minister Wu Tins
Fang left this country he was accom-

tended to the STEAMER by a delegation
Of local Chinese merchants.
The customs officials, who then were
also immigration inspectors, carefully
took the names and count Of the local
Chinese as they went on board. This
precautIon was to prevent some de-
ported or otherwise not welcome celes-
tlal from eflecting a landing by Joining
the merchants as they came ashore
after taking a ceremonious farewell
Of their distinguished countryman.
Half an hour or SO after WI and his
friends had gone on board one Of Wu's
secretaries arrived on the dock and
was hurrying up the gangpiank when
customs inspector seized him by
the arm and pulled him back on the
wharf.
"Washamalla you. John. no takee

The Chinese shook loose the inspec-

Ninety Per Gent Of the Drugs Pre-.
serIbsd Arc Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition Of physicians,
especially OF those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent medicines, nine
ty per cent Of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing concerns, ARE, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as If they were advertised IN the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing OF pharmacy and is, there

How rapid has been the growth Of the
professional use Of patent" or pro
prietary" medicines Is shown In an
article written for the Journal Of the
American Medical Association for
September 20. 1906. by A, Jacob. NJ.
d.. LII D. He relates that $4,000 pre-.
scriptions, compounded IN several
drug stores we're carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
tion IN 1900 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1876 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or pro
prietary" medicines equaIled two per
cent Of the total. This increased to
s per cent IN the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 1t was y per cent,
IN 1898 it was Is per cent. and In 1902
1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
Or. Jacobl says that in a large
store he was assured that 10 per cent
Of the prescriptions were for patent
or proprietary" medicines. and this
probably Is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this It would seem that II the patent
and proprietary medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe In
seven cases cut Of ten they are good
enough for family use In eases Of
necessity and where the symptoms
are we'll known and as easily under-
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.

The Ace of Hearts Handicap at a
mile and fifty yards has attracted an
entry list that assures a royal contest
at Emeryville this afternoon. The field
will be small but select, including DR..
Leggo, Edwin Gum, Northwest, Man
dator and Graphite. Edwin Gum is in
good form and his recent defeat of DR..
Leggo makes him look like the win
ner. Northwest was badly ridden the
last time out. With better handling
today she should beat DR.. Leggo for
second money. Mandator is essentially
a mudder. Graphite looks to be out
classed.
Abba has been running very con-
sistently and may be able to add an
other victory to her credit in the open
ing event, a four and a half furlong
dash for two-year-olds. Orena will
like the added distance and appears
to be the contender.

left at the post on his last out after

Shady Lad is the probable contender in
spite Of his recent poor performances.
Cadichon looks to have 1T on the
horses that he will meet in the third.
Mabel Hollander's last race was good
and she will surely be the contender.
Little Mirthful and Duke of Orleans
look best of the balance.
The fifth is an open race. st. Fran

SAN JOSE, March 1.-THE best offer
which Hal Chase, the famous first
baseman, has received to date from
Manager Griffith of = the New York
Americans is $4,000. Between this and
the salary that he demands there is the
wide difference of $4,000. The refusal of
the Santa Clara. County baseball star
to accept the salary offered him is
causing Manager Griffith and the New
York press much worry.
Chase played last season for $2500.
When his contract was received few
weeks ago for the present season it
contained a provision that he should
be paid $4,000. He promptly mailed the
contract back to Manager Griffith, with
the statement that he considered his
services worth $500. Then Griffith in
creased his offer to $4,000. Chase re-
fused it. Griffith telegraphed on Sun
day:
Come at once. Will do what 1 can .
Chase paid no attention to the tele-
gram.
Il don't want to haggle over the sal
ary question, and won't do it," said
Chase today. I have named my fig
ures and If they don't want to meet
them 1 am satisfied.
