The Mission promotion associations
committee on streets and sewers has
met with encouraging success in urging
property owners to purchase a por-

bonds. which are still uncanceled. for
the purpose of sewering the outlying

The committee is engaged in an ef-

be placed in the district bounded by
Sanchez. Noe, Eighteenth and Twenty

ground surface to official grade in

plan includes the extension of Potrero

A SERIOUS DINER.
r Way the Great Emperor Charles
". Alto His Meals.

The Way the Great Emperor Charles
v. Ate His Meals.
The diary of a German gentleman,
Bartholomew Sastrow, who lived In
the time of the Emperor Charles ",
gives us a good idea of the gastronom-
ic customs Of those times. Sastrow's
description of the table habits of the
greatest ruler in his day is very inter-
esting.
Young princes and counts served the
repast. There were invariably four
courses of six dishes. The emperor
had no one to carve for him. He be-
gan by cutting his bread in pieces
large enough for one mouthful. then
attacked his plate. He often used his
fingers while he held the plate under
his chin with the other hand.
When he felt thirsty he made a sign
to the doctor standing by the table;
then they went to the sideboard for
two silver hagons and filled a goblet
which held about a measure and a
half. The emperor drained 1t to the
last drop, practically at n draft.
During the meal he never uttered a
syllable, scarcely smiled at the most
amusing sallies of the testers behind
his chair, finally picked his teeth with
quilts and, after washing his hands,
retired to a window recess, where any
body could approach him with a peti.
ton.

HEAT HAS NO
TERROR FOR
POLITICIANS

Trenton, July 12:-Despite the
hot spell, politics continues to occu-
py the centre of the stage; because,
no doubt, that in the coming CAM
paign next fall there is a governor
to be elected and ten congressman as
we'll as a legislature that will select
a United States senator.
Political conditions in the repub-
lican's ranks, continue apparently to
favor the nomination of the state
commissioner of banking and insur-
ance, Vivian M. Lewis, as successor
to Governor Fort. Apart from for
mer Assemblyman William P. Mar
tin, the New Idea" candidate, there
is nobody, apparently, making any
effort to get the nomination, at
least, not yet. Martin scarcely ex-
poets to get on the ticket. 1t is said
he wants to make q bit of noise for
his wing of the party with a view to
getting some of it's 'planks In the
platform. With that he will be con-
tent, and then 1T is believed New
Idea men will turn in and help elect
whoever is named by the regulars.
Lewis, where he Is known, stands
fairly well among machine repubEl-
cans and has not particularly antag-
onized the progressive element. Re
publicans hope to elect all of their
congressman and keep their major
ity on joint ballot in the legislature.
The fight for Senator Kean's
lies among four men, the pres
ent holder, former Governor Frank
lin Murphy, David Baird, OF Cam
den, and former Governor e. G.
Stokes.
On the democratic side the dispo-
sition Is to renominate Frank 8. Kat
zenbach, of this city for governor,
despite the fact that he was defeated
three years & by Governor Fort
Mayor Otto Wittpenn. Of Jersey City,
and State Senator George 8. Silzer,
of New Brunswick, are candidates,
but they are not considered very
strong outside of their home dis
tricts. DR.. Woodrow Wilson, presi-
dent of Princeton University, Is be-
ing urged for the domination.

other republican regulars in the
fifth congress district have given
up the idea of defeating, Represen-
tative Fowler for a nomination with

REMOVE
SHERIFFS FOR
SUNDAY Ball

Albany, N. Y, July 12.-In the future
II county sherifs in New York permit
Sunday baseball games they will run
the risk of removal from office. All
that will be necessary to bring about
their decapitation will be complaint
against them by citizens, with proof
that ball games have been played on
Sunday. Governor Hughes has issued
a warning to the sheriffs, so that the
fans among them can brace up and
turn over a new leaf before the law
Is rigidly applied.
This is a severe blow to many pro-
fessional teams in this state which get
most Of their evenu from the Sun
day baseball games. The question
came up before Governor Hughes on
the application Of citizens Of Cbemung
county asking for the removal OF sher-
III Day for failing to enforce sections
214o and 2145 Of the penal law prohib-
iting public sports on Sunday, includ-
ing the playing OF professional base
ball games where an admission fee Is
charged.
While the governor decides that
Sheriff Day should have stopped these
baseball games on his own motion
without waiting for citizens to swear
out warrants, he dismisses the charges,
saying that they car be renewed II the
sheriff does not enforce the law In the
future.
The governor made 1t clear that In
the future sheriffs who do not enforce
the law against Sunday baseball
games will be removed from office.

MENTAL INFLUENCES.
The State of the Mind Has a Direct
Effect Upon the Body.

The State of the Mind Has a Direct
Effect Upon the Body.
A good deal Is said In these days
about the effect of mind on matter in
the way Of the cure of disease, but
less Is heard about mental influences
as a cause of bodily ills, yet it is an
old truth that the state of mind has a
direct effect on the body. The gloom
and depression caused by worry and
anxiety create a morbid condition Of
tho physical system. 1t Is impossible
to feel well physically when the mind
and spirits are downcast. The blood
does not circulate properly, appetite
falls, the head aches, and If these NOR
bid conditions continue more deep
seated ailments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be n of them.
With many persons a fit of anger is
followed by an attack Of indigestion.
Excitement destroys the appetite, bad
news creates nausea, fright causes
faintness, and SO on. Violent or de-
pressing emotions always disturb the
equilibrium of body and mind alike.
This being the case, it is Inevitable
that when these emotions often recur
or become continuous serious physical
results will follow. The obvious les
son is, then, that mental serenity tends
to health-is, in fact, an essential
element of health-and that instead of
resorting to mind cures after the
health is broken 1t is wise to preserve
the. serenity as a preventive and safe
guard against disease. indianapolis

BERGER SAYS
JEFFRIES is
STILL ANXIOUS

San Francisco, July 12.-Returntng
from Los Angeles, where he has been
In close attendance on Jenries since
the fight at Reno, Manager Sam
Berger verifes the report that the big
fellow is thinking seriously Of fighting
again.
He declares Jeffries has been be-
sieged on ell sides by friends to take
another fling at the game, and he has
given attentive ear to their appeals.
For the present, Berger says, Jenries
will forget the fighting game for two
weeks~while he INDUCES In hunting.
Then Jefrries will 60 on record and
declare himself. Berger asserts JET
fries has been flooded with theatrical
offers from all parts of the east, but
that he has turned down all propo-
sihons.
JEFF is thoroughly downcast over
his dismal showing at Reno" said
Berger. HE cannot account for the
affair. 1t was all so surprising 1t
took him some time to realize the full
extent of the defeat. He has taken
his defeat deeply to heart.
"Scores Of Jim's friends have been
after him to make another try at the
negro. They cannot understand his
poor form In the ring and want JEFF
to ask for a return match and show
the people he was not right on the
Fourth.
"Jeffries is considering fighting
again and asking for chance to re-
deem himself. He is not satisfied with
the outcome of his fight with John
son any more than any Of you. He
has spoken Of possibility Of seeking
another go, but has not decided any
thing definitely. His wife won't OPP
pose him should he decide on another
fight. JEFF Is simply wild for another
go, as he can't bear to have 1t go on
record that he was whipped by a negro
and accept this defeat as final"

FUNERAL COSTUMES.
Thsir Extravaganza Curbed by Law at
Ono Time In England.

Ono Time In England.
Sumptuary mourning laws were for
merly found necessary in England
to restrict the extravaganza of the no
bility and their imitators in the mat
ter of funeral costume. At the end of
the fifteenth century 1t was laid down
that dukes, marquises and archbishops
should be allowed sixteen yards of
cloth for their gowns, SLOPES"
(~mourning %cassocks) and nantes; earls
fourteen, viscounts twelve, barons
eight, knights six and all persons of in
ferior degree only two. Hoods were
forbidden to all except those above the
rank of esquire Of the kings house
hold.
In the following century Margaret,
countess Of Richmond, mother of Hen
ry VII, issued an ordinance for the
reformation of apparel for great es-
tates of women in tyne of u
ings." SO 1t seems that men and wom-
en- have met In the extravaganza of
sorrow.
Even 200 years ago London trades
men found that court mourning seri-
ously affected their business. Addison
relates that at a tavern he often met q
man whom he took for an ardent and
eccentric royalist. Every time this
man looked through the Gazette he ex-
claimed, '"rhank God, all the reigning
families of Europe are we'll" Oeca-
%sionally he would vary this formula
by making ~reassuring remarks respect
ing the health of British royalists. Aft
err some time Addison discovered that
this universal royallst was a.eeoIored
