Clearing Sidewalks
And Stretching Wires

The first thing done yesterday in out
ward preparation for the carnival was
the stretching OF the side lines by the
wire squad of the police department.
which was begun at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. The wire squad is ex-
pert and made short work of it, The
posts to which the line is affixed are
part of the old equipment and escaped
the conds grafton through being stored
under the sidewalk OF the old city hall
At Z o'clock the box wagons made
their rounds. The wagons were OBJ
tained by Chief of Police Cook from
a local box factory. as by reason of
their racks they could hold an immense
amount Of such stuff. Chief Cook
feared that accidents might be caused
through cracker box and other tenn
porary grandstands. especially If ap-
proprlated by hoodlums For this rea-
son he ordered the walks to be cleared
OF all distractions.
When the time came for the parade
the police extended the lines across the
intersecting streets so that no vehicle
might interfere with the reveIers in
Market street.

CITY DEr1AlDS Il RETURN OF THE CN2NNA
CROWDS VISIT THE
FOREIGN WARSHIPS
Idzumo and Bedford Not Open
to the Public Yesterday
Afternoon

The last day of the big festival saw
warships undated in size and eager
ness, but a little wiser in their deal
ings with the men running the excur-
sion boats. The fact that visitors were
not received on the Bedford or the
'ldzumo resulted in overcrowding all
the others. but the excursionists did
not mind that. It was those who went
out late and were not allowed to land
that made trouble for the capitalists
who had agreed to place them on board
at least one of the foreign ships.
The regular boatmen had learned
their lesson and accepted no money
that they. did not have good chance
to earn. Some of those who had but
ted into the game with boats brought
from up river were not so wise. They
accepted money as late as 4 o'clock
turned disappointed. they reluctantly
paid it back. That is, they paid it
back after their victims had secured
the services of a policeman, who offered
the launchmen the alternative of pay
ing up or taking a ride in the patrol
wagon with a guarantee of landing at
the harbor police station.
The Idzumo will leave here at 6
o'clock this morning for Monterey. The
otner visiting warshlps Will probably
remain until the end of the week.
On the Bedford the day was devoted
to cleaning ship. On the Idzumo to en-
tertaining the officers from the Pre-
sidio and other army posts ABOUT the
bay. Captain Takeshita provided an
elaborate and thoroughly Japanese
program for his guests. The quarter
deck and spacious cabins of the cruiser
were beautifully decorated. and from
bowers of cherry blossoms the army
people watched some of the Idzumo's
picked athletes perform a bewildering
variety of stunts.
The hospitality of the Japanese Off
GERS has been one of the pleasantest
features of the festival, and the visit
CT the Idzumo will long live in the
memory of those who have shared it.

ROMANCE OF POET
AND WOMAN JUROR
Writer of Verse Finds Himself
Repaid for Attending Court
Without Counting Cash

Los ANGELES Oct. 23.-In addition
to being the first panel to bring out a
woman juror in California, the present
superior court venire seems likely to-
day TO produce a romance, with the
woman juror, Mrs. Johanna Engleman,
as heroine. and Joseph NUM- the hero.
NUM- is the most expensive juror
ever drawn in this county. Every time
he travels from his home at Roosevelt
he chalks $17 u day against the tax
payers. Moreover, he is poet. and
his poems developed the symptoms
that court attaches were quick to
diagnose as incipient romance.
when I was first called for jury
duty" said NUM-, Il had it in mind to
make excuses, but the pleasure of my
acquaintance with Mrs. En- gleman
alone has repaid me for my trouble.

Charcoal LOzengers
Powerful Absorbents
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
Cannot Exist When They Are Used

Charcoal. by virtue of its porous na-
ture. takes up gases mechanically Just
as a sponge takes up water It's ca
pacity in this respect Is IN proportion
10 the number and ineneSs of its pores.
Charcoal made from poplar, beechWoOd.
vegetable ivory, cOcoanut shells and
willow wood is a compact, heavy sub
stance having metallic Iuster, the
pores being quite Invisible.
Chemical tests OF various kinds per-
formed by expert chemists have re-
vealed the fact that charcoal made from
Willow wood is not only absolutely
harmless, but that il IS by Tar the most
powerful absorbent OF all KINDS OF
gases Certain other woods. mentioned
above are used by some manufacturer
in making charcoal. and OeSldeS not
being half as effective in absorbing
stomach gases. have also been found 90
be positively harmful TO the digestive
system.
Willow wood charcoal is. then. the
very best for the purpose or absorbing
excessive gas of the stomach, removing
intestinal fatus and purifying foul
breath. Charcoal to he effective against
gastric fatulence. must be introduced
among the gases OF the stomach IN tne
same state as when fresh from the
crucible The means OF effecting this
is to compress them into soluble loz
enges so that after being dissolved IN
the mouth and swallowed the char
coal. is set free" and at once begins
its work of OxldlZing and absorbing
foul gases. and also, through its anti
septic properties. or purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract
1t is definitely known that the ab-
sorbent and cleansing action Of char
coal is prOtracted and continued
through the intestinal system as well
as in the stomach. and it proves bene-
fetal there also
IN STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENGE
we have a gas absorbing remedy which
readily takes precedence over all others
The charcoal used in them IS the very
hest that can be obtained They are
composed Of the finest young willow
wood converted into charcoal by the
special, carbonizing Stuart Process. and
before being compressed into Lozenges
the powdered charcoal is rendered
sweet and thoroughly agreeable to the
taste by being mixed with pure honey.
and the result is a product equally
palatable as candy.
Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges have at
tanned a wide popularity among the
people. millions OF boxes being sold
every year They have over and over
again proven their efficiency as rapid
and powerful absorbentS of foul
stomach gases. relieving and curing
hatulence. belching. or the eructation
of gases. and finally in the publication

doubled during the Portola festival
The company's receipts average see. 900

Thursday the eompany-s receipts were
s35 150 indicating a travel of 7o3, 900
persons.
The cars were stopped for several
hours in the heart OF the city on Thurs

appear that the companys receipts for

NEW RECORD SET
 F0R FEES

The fees taken in by United States Commissioner Le Feyre during the three months ending December 3t, 1908, amount to more than the fees for any similar period since he has held office. The total amount of his fees was $i6G.Sl as compared to a little more than $2OO for the quar- ter ending September 30.
 The increase in the fees is par tially accounted for by the fact that the United States government has just paid Commissioner Le Fevre his fees for government work for the quarters ending July Sl and Septem. Der 30. The assessment work was also especially heavy this quarter.
 The fees for the different work is as follows: For recording, $24795; for work as commissioner, S5S.O6; as probate judge. $1O.45; as notary public. $7.5O; and the fees for gov ernment work for the quarters end ing July and September was respec- lively $76.6O and $66.25
