six months yet to be examined, and he
thought 1t would be as well to wait
until tomorrow or Thursday, when the
work would be completed.
Tetsall was taken from the city
prison and brought before President
Rosenthal, who desired to question him
about some items in his accounts
After being questioned he was taken
back to the prison. He refused posi-
lively to make any further statement
for publication saying he had already
told everything lie knew.
1t was pointed out yesterday regard
ing the suspicion that Tetsall was the
incendiary as significant fact that

FREIGHT CARS ARRIVE
COVERED WITH SNOW
Men and Boys Join in Real Old
Fashioned Contest

The railroad brought carload OF
eastern weather into San Francisco yes
terday. Four freight cars were rolled
into Third and Townsend streets COW
cred with a foot of snow The arrival
of this strange stuff in a snowless dis
trict was greeted with enthusiasm, and
the cars had scarcely come to a halt
before a hundred men and boys Were
clambering up the iron ladders to the
top of the cars.
A real SNOWFALL fight in great many
instances the first these youthful west
erners had ever indulged in, then en-
sued. The passengers of the local
trains paused in their journey to wit
ness the battle. Many a dignified pro-
fessional man. who had not rolled a
SNOWFALL in years, returned for a mo-
ment to his youthful frolics and cast
his lot with the jovial fighters.
The battle was continued until the
freigh cars were Scraped clean.

HUNDREDS OF LDERLY Y FOLKS ARE
GETTING RID OF KIDNEY TROUBLE

That the readers of this paper ap-
preciate advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one we'll known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many cases
OF kidney complaint and rheumatism
here, relieving painl and misery, espe-
cially among the older population, who
are always suffering more or less with
bladder and urinary troubles, backache
and particularly rheumatism.

us to continue the announcement OF
the prescription. It is doing so much
real good here, he continues, that 1t

Arcadian simplicity in comparison with
the laborious American system.
II is still the aim TO make per
sonal visit once a year upon all one 3
acquaintances. but many women call
only upon those whose cards they have
received. naming reception day;
others give an annual reception or a
series Of afternoon teas, inviting their
entire circle. and returning personal
calls by driving from house TO house
and leaving cards without inquiring If
the lady be at home. To take this
position a woman must have the excuse
of age, delicate health or undoubted
social prominence, having an inter-
minable visiting list which exempts her
from ordinary rules.
1t is incumbent upon every one to
make personal visits in recognition of
dinner, luncheon or other invitations
for hospitalities limited, to selected
guests within two weeks after the
function Ordinary mortals incur the
obligation OF a personal visit for each
invitation issued for a tea or reception.
The presence of guest at a recep-
ton is accounted a visit, and this dis
poses of the question whether or not
an after-call is required To give an

JAMAICA CUT OFF
FROM THE WORLD

Washington, November u.-Weather re-
ports from Jamaica, which the weather
bureau here receives daily. have failed
to come from the West Indies island
since Saturday and the officials of the
service have been without communica-
tion as to what has occurred there since
that time. The only indication of the
failure of the reports to come has come
through the press, which show cable COM
munication with Jamaica had utterly
failed except through one circuitous route
for short time only.
There has been no general tropical dis
turbance indicated in the reports to the
weather bureau from point of West India
islands and the officials here say what
ever other atmospheric disturbance &C.
CURED in Jamaica must have been entire
ly local in character.
While severe storm similar to local

DIVORCE HABIT
VERY ALARMING

Atlanta, November 11.-"Alarmine, is
the way in which Judge John T J@endle-
ton of Fulton superior court describes the
increase in Divorce in Georgia
In deciding an alimony case in court
this week, he remarked from the bench:
When | came on the bench in 1905
there used to be about Is divorce cases
a year. Now there are more than 300.
or an average of nearly one a day 1t is
terrible to think of. 1 think this thing
of getting alimony has a great deal to
do with the increase in the number of
divorce cases, and that is why 1 usually
grant very small alimony."
Judge Pendleton says he finds that not
few cases grow out of the unfortunate
circumstances of hard working and strong
men being married to SERIOUS, sickly and
irritable women
A sick and nervous wife, he says, should
be petted and treated with extraordinary
tenderness.
And another of his maxims is that a.
Woodworking husband, who has a. sick.
nervous wife who constantly keeps him in
a stew, Is, indeed, to be pited.
Judge Pendleton says he hardly knows
what to do about the divorce problem
since, despite everything that is done
to mend matters, they appear to grow
worse from year to year.
