Special Brand.

In the Imagination Of every woman

him. in the Imagination of every
man there is woman like nobody
on earth. in heaven above. OF in the
waters under the earth But no
woman ever shows favor to any par
tlcular type OF man. II woman really
liked this or that specimen Of mascu-
line humanity above all others, should
we ever see the strangely assorted
marriages that we do? Individually
all women have their ideals, but speak
Ing generally, there is no special
brand OF man that can be said to ap-
peal TO woman 1t is sheer nonsense
to say definitely that athletes. or
courticrs, or tame cats, or dreamers
are respectively most pleasing to
women. But even IL It could be said
with authority this or that kind of
man is. what every woman likes. is 1t
to be supposed for a moment that
every male creature would proceed to
model himself on the approved pat
tern? 1t would be great pity IL such
state of things could be brought
about Women do not want stcreo-
typed mold for each og the sexes, and
women would lose grand opportunities
for laughter II all our men were gal
liant, well-mannered strong and mas

To be able to poke fun at this or that
type Is part Of the joke of life-to a

Saved at
St. Winnifred
Hospital
(san Francisco BulIetin.)


The physicians In Honolulu could
do nothing for United States Deputy
Marshal Winters and he gave them
up In despair and came to San Fran
cisco to sec if there was any physician
nero who could cure an extreme case
of chronic Brights disease. He had
had two uraemic convulsions. was al
most bursting with dropsy, and, after
fighting the disease for two years, was
at the end of the way. The physician
ne consulted in this city told him that
chronic nephritis is now durable dis
ease and that he probably would re-
cover. He sent the patient to St Win
nifred hospital, put him on the new
treatment for chronic kidney disease,
Fulton's Renal Compound, and pro-
ceeded to aid 1t in ways that the
skilled practitioner understands. In
four months Winters went back TO the
islands perfectly well.
We sent for the treatment given the
patient referred to In the St Wlnni-
fred hospital with such remarkable re-
suits and have it In stock for patients
here. Chronic kidney disease. includ-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes, are
now durable.

CONTRACT DEFINES DUTIES
 OF ,JOURNEYMAN TAILOR

Articles of agreement of an unusual nature were filed in the office of the town clerk yesterday. The parties to the contract are Harry Brown, a tail- or. whc agrees to employ Abraham Hegler and pay him s3 day (1O hours per day) for 13 weeks in the Spring and 13 weeks in the Fall.
 Between seasons he is to give employ ment to Hegler for four weeks so that Hegler gets at least two full days each week. In July or August Hegler is to have two weeks vacation with out pay. All overtime is to be paid for at the usual rate of compensation.
 Sickness of short duration will not vitiate the contract. Hegler is not to do dressmaking but to do all tailoring work assigned to him.
 The contract which was drawn by Attorney Joshua Meltzer is for three years and Hegler agrees that at no time within four years from the date of the contract will he engage in the tailoring business for himself within ten blocks of the place of business kept by Brown. The reason of the contract is that Brown has had trou- ble in keeping a good man through the dull season and Hegler wants to be sure that he is going to have a job for several seasons.

WILL GOVERNOR
 VETO THIS BILL?

Hartford, July 29.-It has become known to the liquor people and the temperance advocates about the Gen. eral Assembly that Gov. Weeks is about to veto the bill which would make it possible for saloons in towns which go no-1icense and then revert to license, to receive new licenses even though they were within 200 feet of a church. According to the law passed two years ago no saloon license could be granted applying to a location within this distance of church proper ties. There are many such licenses in existence which this law does not af- feet, but the liquor people have been greatly worried over the possibility that some towns where these were To- cated would go no-Iicense and upon again reverting to license. if it did, sa- looms could not be located in the for mer location. This applies especially to some instances in Norwich, and the New London County Commissioners have tried to aid Norwich liquor men in getting the law changed.
 There are cases in other parts of the State and half a dozen different bills touching on the matter were intro duced. The excise committee finally reported the one which has passed both houses and which provides that any place licensed during the last year when it was legal for the County Commissioners to issue a license with in a, town, might have its license. re- newed.
 This wording means very little for it is not the place which is licensed, but the person, and the temperance people made an unsuccessful effort to get the wording changed when the bill was going through. 1t is understood, how ever, that it is not much the am biguity of the wording which influ- enceS Gov. Weeks to veto the bill, as it is his belief that it is wrong in prin- ciple.

WAR IN ENGLAND
 ON STANDARD OIL
(speciaI from United Press.)

(Spec1al rom Un1CeQ PreSS.)
 London, July 29-Great Britain is to go to war again this time with the Standard Oil Company. All efforts to patch up the old agreement between the American concern and it's English competitors have failed and the two sides are to-day resting under truce which will expire in a short time. The English companies must either come to the Standards terms or engage in a rate war which threatens to be fought to the end. Indications to-day are that the English companies will fight.
 The Anglo-American Oil Company, which is the Standard Company in Great Britain. holds the stragetic posi- tion. English concerns frankly say that they will be satisfied with peace that brings an equal division of the trade.
 For years the American company, the Homelight Company and the Brit ish Petroleum Company, both British concerns, have practically controlled the oil trade of England. Under the agreement entered into by them the price of oil was maintained at a stan dard figure. E
 The agreement ended in June and the Anglo-American Company refused to renew it. Instead it offered a rate giving a reduction. The retailers would have welcomed the reduction but for a clause in the contract im- posing a penalty of 72 cents on every forty gallons of oil obtained from other sources. The Homelight and the Brit ish Petroleum rushed in with con- tracts offering the same reduction but without the penalty clause and a rate war was launched.
 No one liked to work on g. contract in the oil business in England. The price varied but little and any change usually means an. increase. The con- tract therefore is principally to pre- vent any undue changes.
 The three companies declared a rate and decided not to give the retailers, contracts for the present. They were, however, unable to agree on the future price. Should one company lower the price a gigantic war will be precipi- tated.
