CONFINED TO ONE DISTRICT
Disorders in Connection With Frisco
Street Car Strike.

San Francisco, May 16.-The United
Railroads operated 102 cars during the
day and everything passed off quietly
outside of the district south of Mar
ket street. Here the hoodlum element,
which predominates, kept up riotous
demonstration all through the day and
with heavy odds on their side beat
and abused passengers and carmen on
the cars to their hearts content. The
police from all accounts lost control
of the situation and number Of acts
Of brutal violence have been reported.
Fifty thousand people rode on the
cars, according to the returns of COM
pany officials.
The general labor situation remains
unchanged. The telephone operators
are still out, although it is reported
that quite a number of the girls are
returning to their work.
The carmen are now directing their
energies toward formulating plan for
the municipal ownership of the street
railroads and w. D. Mahon, president
of the Association of Street Railway
Employees of America, expresses the
belief that this will follow the pres
ent car strike.

IN EVERY HOME.

The following simple pre-
scription, writes a noted
authority, should be made
known to every family.
While it is a simple home
made mixture, it forms a
powerful tonic and vitaliz
ing agent to the Kidneys,
forcing them to filter and
eliminate from the blood all
acids and waste, restoring
the full count. or IS per
cent, of Red Corpuscles.
Here it is, and now is the
time to take it: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon
one ounce, Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla three ounces.
The dose is one teaspoonful
after meals and at bedtime.
These harmless ingredients
can be obtained at nominal
Elcost from any good pharm-
acy, and anyone can mix
s. them at home by shaking
we'll in a bottle.
Noted medical authorities
now recognize this as a
blood cleanser and system
tonic par excellence, be-
cause of it's gentle though
almost certain action in the
treatment of Rheumatis "a,
skin and facial eruptlons
and other miserable Blood
Affections for which the
Kidneys are responsible.
At this time of year the
blood becomes sour and
filled with poisons and
acids, which the skin pores
failed to eliminate during
the, cold weather, adding
= this additional work to the
Kidneys, which, overtaxed,
become inactive and slug
gish and require just such
an invigorant or regulator.
Mix this and try it, and
note the remarkable i'm
provement in your health.

NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR a
PICTURESQUE CHARACTER.
Has Become Widely Known as Result
of War With Railroad Company
Called 100 Democratic"
by His Enemies.

New York-That Robert 3. Glenn,
governor of North Carolina had the
backbone to stick through fight to
the finish did not surprise those who
knew him down in the Tar Heel state.
Whatever his faults, a dislike for fight
ing had never been one of them.
When once he took the stand, right
or wrong, that he would force the
Southern railway to obey the new
state law limiting the passenger rate
to IN cents mile, only strangers, po-
litical adversaries and corporation fol-
lowers foretold any outcome but VIC
tory, at least temporary over the rail-
road interests and the federal courts.
j, Glenn had fought to get the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor In
1905; forcing the support of the party
politicians by appealing directly to
the voters in campaign covering
every corner of North Carolina, and
then he had pressed his case against
the Republican nominee so energeti-
cally that he carried the state by its
full Democratic plurality, barely less
than $4,000, although in recent years
there has been tendency toward Re-
publicanisn, by reason of the growing
manufacturing interests.
Besides, nearly everybody in the
state had heard his promise after the
election. g..
II have an ambition" he had said,
Ito show North Carolina that a gov
ernor can do something besides par
don criminals. e":'
With this assurance, and knowing
his fighting instincts, people around
him were expecting something to
drop" at the first opportunity. That
opportunity came when the Southern
railway refused to obey the rate law.
Because of it, whether his side is
good or. bad his arguments sound Or
faulty. Glenn of North Carolina has
come to be one of the most talked.
about men. in the United States. ~: .. {
Long before Glenn got to be COY
.ernor, he learned how to fight AS. he
grew older, however, his combatiye, in
stincts were limited to the court
room and the campaign. In both he
has been rarely'a loser.
Incidentally, he served mis- present
foe, the SouthernTailway, as an assist
ant division counsel less than five
years ago. He also represented the
Westurn Union Telegraph company
and other corporations. 1t was no Sc
cret at the time Of his election, that
the Southern and the rest of the cor.
porations rejoiced over his success.
They thought he was on their side. .

Statue as Mis- Today.

Immediately opposite the entrance to
Mr. Flannery's studio, and has been
the subject Of inquiry from thousands.
Headless, armless. broken and defac-
ed, the statue gives evidence of the
wonderful and mastery skill of the
sculptors who produced masterpieces
Of works of art before the time of
Christ, for there is undisputed evil
dence that this statue is the work of
ancients.
Many years ago Commodore Boyle
of the United States navy brought the
statue from Athens, Greece, where
for more than 1000 years it had es-
capped the despoiling hand of the bar
barian and other invaders of that
ancient city, The commodore secured
an authentic history of the work Of
art and valued it as one of the treas
ures gathered in his travels through
out the world He kept the statue
for several years and then presented
it to his brother, DR.. Boyle, one of the
men who made White Sulphur Springs,
Va, famous as a watering resort for
the wealthy people of the United
States.
The statue, then unbroken and beau
tiful, was securely placed over the
main entrance to the large hotel which
was owned and managed by DR.. Boyle.
Having for untold generations origin,
