CALHOUN'S FINAL OFFER
Says Strike-Breakers Are "ot Ruf
fians and Will Organize Union.
Will Treat With Strikers If
They Resume Work.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 30. Shortly
before midnight President Cornelius
of the Carmen's Union Issued a state
ment containing a proposition for a
settlement of the strike by arbitration,
in which he recedes somewhat from
his former unyielding attitude respect
ing the demands for Increased wages
and shorter hours. ' In this statement
Cornelius says the street-car men will
return to work with the understand
ing that they are to receive J3 a day
and that the number of hours which
shall constitute a day and all other
questions between the men and the
company shall be left to a Joint arbi
tration committee for settlement.
Company Will Form Union.
President Calhoun also issued a
lengthy statement tonight, the sub
stance of which Is that the company
has now 2500 men on the way from
the East. These men. says Mr. Cal
houn, are not all strikebreakers, but
many of them are er-employes of his.
These he proposes to organize into a
carmen's union.
One thousand blankets were taken Into
the McAllister-street carbarn today, and
the work of preparing the principal car
houses for the housing of the strikebreak
ers, who are expected to reach here Sat
urday, Is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. An employe of the company who today
switched a car from one side of the barn
to the othor was attacked by a crowd of
sympathizers tonight as he was leaving
the carbarn at Turk and Fillmore streets.
He was rescued by the police, but not
until he had been quite severely beaten.
. Calhoun Declares Purpose.
President Calhoun, of the United Rail
roads, In his statement Issued tonight
eays:
"The effort to Inflame the public
mind by wild statements that we are
bringing here ruffians and strikebreak
ers to tight the forces of union labor is
unjustified. Nothing can be further
from the .truth. We expect- to employ
respectable men who will perform their
duties with courtesy to the public and
who will recognize that loyalty to their
employers and observance of their
obligations is not inconsistent with
loyalty to unions.
"We would have preferred to continue
the employment of our former employes,
whom we at least had come to regard as
our friends, and in whose welfare we
certainly felt the sincerest Interest. By
striking without conference or consulta
tion with the officers or directors of our
company, and. In spite of their urgent re
quest, refusing to return to work, we are
forced to employ other competent street
railway men.
Will Welcome Xcw Union. .
"If the members of the present Car
men's Union will not work for the United
Railroads, the United Railroads confi
dently expects Its employes to form a
carmen's union of their own. There is
certainly no reason why the employes
of the United Railroads should not have
a union of their own, as well as the em
ployes of the Geary-Street and the California-Street
or the Union-Street Rail
roads should have a union of their own,
which happens now to be the case. The
United Railroads will not object to its
employes forming a union and it will give
to such union the same cheerful, courte
ous and kindly recognition that It has
given to the Carmen's Union that once
had some of Its members among the em
ployes. "The only" reason there is not a union
among the employes of the United Rail
roads now is that the union with which
the United Railroads dealt has caused its
members to sever their relations with the
company. But we say to the union men
of San Francisco that a new union will
take the place of the old one a union
that we believe will observe its contracts
and a union that we believe will be a
credit to unionism throughout America,
and one In which San Francisco union
men may Justly feel a pride.
Says Union Broke Contract. ,
'It should be specially noted that the
original request of the union, which has
now so recklessly repudiated Its contract,
asked for an advance of wages and
shortening of hours, to take effect Sep
tember 1, a date not yet reached. There
was no possible reason why - the men
should not have continued at work until
September 1, because, from the language
of their own demand, they only asked
that an advance in wages and a reduc
tion In hours should take place as of that
date. The recklessness with which their
. solemn contract with the United Rail
roads was repudiated is further shown
by the fact that the California and
Geary-street Ines are still in operation,
and there Is no more reason why the
lines of the United Railroads should not
have continued in operation than was
the continuance of the operation of the
other lines, upon whose motormen and
conductors have been superimposed by
the strike the enormous number of ad
ditional passengers who were formerly
carried by the United Railroads. We
cordially commend the continuance of
these lines in operation, and we regard
It as the one redeeming, feature of this
tinfortunate strike: but we insist that
there is no more reason for the operation
of these lines than there Is for the oper
ation of the lines of the United Rail
roads. ' "
Final Offer to Union.
"The company's attitude In the Interest
of the welfare and convenience of the
rubllc Is still that, if Its former em
ployes will resume their work, the com
pany, will yet give them preference in
employment and will act upon their re
quests promptly after they have, recog
nized their contract obligations and re
sumed work. Unless this company's for
mer employes shall Immediately return
to work pending consideration of their re
quests, this company recognizes its duty
to the public and will, notwithstanding
the strike, have its cars manned by other
competent union employes and In full
operation within a few days. The situa
tion will then be that there will be at
least two street railway unions in San
Francisco, one among the employes of
the United Railroads and another among
the employes of the Geary and California
street railroads, and possibly still another
among the employes of the Union street
railway."

SCHMITZ ALLOWS NO RIOTING
Major Gives Warning to Company
and Heads of Union.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29. Mayor
Schmitz held separate conferences to
day with Patrick Calhoun, president of
the United Railroads, and Richard Cor
nelius, president of the Carmen's
Union, with a view of reaching a
compromise in the street railway
Btrlke. Notwithstanding neither side
would yield a point. Mayor Schmitz Is
sanguine that-an agreement will soon
be reached. After the .conferences to
day Mayor Schmitz made this signifi
cant statement: - -
"I talked very plainly both to Cal
houn and to Cornelius, and they know
that I mean business. I don't propose
to tolerate any rioting in this town, if
we have to disarm the men supposed
to be on the way to this city when
they arrive from the East."
State Labor Commissioner Stafford had
an interview with Cornelius and Calhoun
today in an effort to keep out the strike
breakers. He secured some concessions
from Calhoun.
The fourth day of the street-car strike
found the disputing parties further apart
than ever. The refusal of the men to re- j
port for work, and the announcement of
the corporation that It is bringing out
Farley'e strikebreakers contributed to
lessen the hitherto friendly feeling exist
ing between employer and employe. The
carmen declare they are not disturbed
by the coming of Farley's men. They
say that Western conditions are utterly
dissimilar from those of Eastern States,
and that the nonunlonists will encounter
entirely unlooked-for obstacles. The
railway officials have thus far declined
to say when they will attempt to begin
operating their lines.
Farley is expected Saturday or Sunday,
and If the company contemplates putting
any of Its plants In motion before that
time the move is being carefully guard
ed. At the various carbarns the com
pany has Itg guards, and union men
are on picket duty, but the best of order
prevails.
Small Cottages for Homeless.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29. The Relief
Corporation let a contract yesterday for
the building of 2000 two- and three-room
cottages in the parks of the ctiy. They
are to be completed In four, eight and
twelve weeks, dating from September 1.
The executive committee was authorized
to enter Into a similar contract for 2000
additional houses, which will give the
corporation 4000 houses at the end of 12
weeks. The houses are to be paid for in
lots of 100, as they are completed and
turned over to the corporation.

Necessary In Prescriptidn Writing
to Secure Accuracy and Safety.
(Literary Digest.)
The use of Latin by physicians in pre
scription writing is commonly regarded
as a harmless survival of medievalism.
Occasionally a lay writer suggests Its
abandonment. In commenting on a re
cent note to this effect in a daily paper,
which advocates the compulsory use of
English in prescriptions, the Druggist's
Circular and Chemical Gazette takes oc-'
caslon to make a strong defense of the
time-honored practice. Says this paper:
"Suppose the sapient writer quoted,
whose utterances may sound all right to
those who know no more of his subjects
than he does, should fall sick and his phy
sician should decide that the one thing
needful to save his life was geranium rob
ertlanum. If there were a law preventing
the doctor from prescribing in Latin he
would have to choose one of the upward
of a dozen English names for this drug.
Suppose he chose 'redshanks' and so wrote
the word In his prescription. When the
druggist went to prepare the medicine he
would find that 'redshanks' was the Eng
lish name of at least four entirely differ
ent plants, namely, the one already men
tioned, polygonium amphibtum, polygon
lum persicarla and rumex acetosa. . . .
"As with redshanks so with hundreds of
other drugs. Aaron's beard may be con
tlnus continus, cymbalaria cymbalaria, or
saxifraga carmentosa. Of snakeroots there
are numberless kinds.

FIGHTS SEED GRAFT
Seed Trade Objects to Gov
ernment Donations.
WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY
Why Not Give Away Other Articles
for a Change? Appropriation
Carried by Votes of the
Southern Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. (Special.) In
dications are that the Congressional free
seed distribution will be fought more bit
terly next session than ever before. En
couraged by the pronounced opposition of
the Senate and House committees on
agriculture to this appropriation and its
almost universal condemnation by the
press and public, those Interested have
undertaken a "campaign of education,"
to use a hackneyed term. The seed deal
ers make no secret of their opposition
to the free distribution of common garden
seeds. In an open letter to the public,
Henry W. Wood, of Richmond, Va., presi
dent of the American Seed-Trade Associa
tion, says that the seed dealers oppose
the practice because it is an unjust
Interference with a legitimate Industry
and because it is a waste of
public money.' Mr. Wood points out that
the total packet-seed trade of the coun
try amountsi to 120,000,000 packets, of ,
which the Government gives away 40,
000.000 and the dealers sell 80,000.000.
Give Away Knives for a Change.
"What industry could survive if the
Government gave away free half as much
aa those engaged in (he industry sold?"
he asks. He also suggests that it is time
for Congress to change off and give away
axes, saws, pocket knives and looking
glasses, and give the poor seed merchants
a rest. The American Seed Trade As
sociation is composed of growers, whole
salers and retailers and is thoroughly in
earnest in Its opposition to Government
interference in Its business. The Whole
sale Seedmen's League is also out against
It. Between them they are in touch with,
about 10,000 persons engaged In growing
and selling seeds, and with at least 60,
000 storekeepers who carry seeds in stock.
As some of the larger seed merchants
have more than 100,000 customers who pur
chase seeds in small lots, it is expected
that they will have been In communica
tion with hundreds of thousands of people
before next session.
Money Would Support College.
The granges have taken up the mat-
ter in a systematic manner. The farm
ers are tired of the idea that their
votes can be influenced by the receipt
of a package of seeds which they can
buy at the corner grocery for 6 cents,
and which usually arrives too late for
planting. They say they do not want
sunflower and pumpkin seed from Con
gress, and point out that the $242,000
now wasted in this manner would sup
port a National Agricultural College,
the like of which the world has never
seen, with 80 professors at $2500 a year
and sufficient funds to maintain the in
stitution. Divided among the agricul
tural colleges, It would give each state
institution between $5000 and $10,000
more than they now receive. This, the
farmers say, would do much more good
than the distribution of rutabaga, tur
nip and parsnip seed.
Carried by Democratic Votes.
An analysis of the vote on this ques
tion In the House of Representatives
last May shows that the free seed dis
tribution item was inserted in the ag
ricultural appropriation bill by Demo
cratic votes. Led by Representatives
Gaines of Tennessee and Lamb of Vir
ginia, 82 Democrats voted for the ap
propriation. How they reconciled their
vote to the traditlpnal opposition to"
Government bounties and gratuities is
not known. They rallied to their sup
port 71 Republicans, including such old
war-horses as Hepburn of Iowa, Crum
picker of Indiana, the Landis boys,
Fred and Charley, of Indiana, Lacey of
Iowa, Curtis and Calderhead of Kan
sas, Allen and Powers of Maine, Bishop,
Hamilton and Fordney of Michigan,
and others. All these are old cam
paigners, and they believe that free
seeds help them campaign. While
71 Republicans voted for free seeds,
78 voted against the appropriation, so,
if it had been left to Republican votes
it would have been defeated. Of the
135 members not voting, 97 are Repub
licans and 38 Democrats.
A further analysis of the vote shows
i i
ill
ife" - -Sls
that Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Missouri, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir
ginia east 78 votes for free seeds to 6
against it. With the exception of
Maryland (1), Missouri (2) and North
Carolina (3), every vote cast by a mem
ber of Congress from a Southern State
was in favor of 'free seeds." In the
case of the great agricultural states
of the Nofcth, East and Westj less than
a majority of the whole state delega
tions voted for the appropriation, while
in many cases there were more votes
against it than for it. Indiana showed
up with five, Illinois with six, Ohio did
better with eight, Pennsylvania found
ten ' trusty "free-seeders," while Min
nesota produced only one. Massachu
setts cast seven votes against and only
two for. "Free seeds'" got half the Ne
braska delegation, but only four votes
from Iowa to six against. New York
cast 15 votes against to five votes for,
with 17 members not voting. From
this it Is apparent that the item was
put in the appropriation bill by Dem
ocratic votes, the bulk of which came
from the South.
While there is no politics In the
matter, those opposed to this distribu
tion will try to get tneir friends to
write to Senators and Representatives
urging them to vote against the ap
propriation next session. The National
Grange, many state and local granges
have already adopted resolutions con
demning the appropriation, and other
granges and societies of farmers are ex
pected to do likewise. The press will
doubtless continue its hostility, as it has
always roundly denounced this form of
petty graft. .
SOME RIVERS AND CITIES
Influence of a Sea Mouth in Making
a Metropolis.
"Geographical Bottles," in St. Nicholas.
The very best kind of a road tnat
commerce has ever found to travel on
Is a deep and quiet, river. Especially
a river that leads from the sea, where
the ships of all countries are sailing
far into a larid that is rich In the things
those countries want. If we now look
over the world map we shall see-that
wherever such a river reaches the sea
a big seaport has grown up. We have
Cairo on the Nile, and New Orleans on
the Mississippi, and New York on the
Hudson: Buenos Ayres, the metropolis
of the Southern Hemisphere, on the La
Plata; Para, young, lusty and hopeful,
at the mouth of the Amazon; Hamburg
on the Elbe, and so on, in an indefinite
list This matter of a good ws.cer road
Inland Is so important that often man
has patched up some sort of a harbor
where none existed so as to avail him
self of one of these great waterways.
New Orleans, for instance, from most
points of view, is built in the most un
likely place. The streets are lower
than the surface of the river and only
a great dyke of earth keeps the big
stream from sweeping the city off the
Continent of North America.' The City
of New Orleans stands like a tollgate
at the beginning- of this long water
road up the center of our country.
And in South America, Buenos. Ayres
has a precisely similar station, as a
glance at the map will show. New
York got Its start by the same condi
tion.. Here was the bay, an excellent
harbor, and there was the Hudson,
reaching back into a rich country; and
there, also was Long Island Sound, just
as good, for trade purposes, as another
river. And finally along came De Witt
Clinton and others, who made the Erie
Canal, and so made the Hudson twice
as much of a road by opening from it
their "big ditch" into the Great Lakes.
Historians tell us that this new water
way, the canal, enabled New York to
outrace Philadelphia and become the
metropolis. Philadelphia had the Del
aware, and all the trade it could give,
but it had no waterway through the
mountains to the country in the West.
It Is of Interest, now, to see how
Chicago got her start. - Some of the
histories make much ado over the
"natural harbor" which the explorers
found. But every one knows that that
natural harbor was the mouth of the
merest shred of a little muddy stream,
reaching inland to nowhere in par
ticular. It was all very well for a
canoe harbor, into which the Red Man
might paddle on the way to the port
age. But so far as commerce is con
cerned, in the modern sense, if Chi
cago had had nothing but her "har
bor" to start her In business, she
would not be much of a town today.
Chicago's fortune was based upon
several factors, all working together,
and the quiet little mud creek she
grew up on was perhaps the least of
them. So we find that sometimes the
harbor makes the town, as in the case
of San Francisco. And in other in
stances the town makes the harbor,
as in Chicago.

Treating Wrong Disease.
Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from Dervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only tymvtomu caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of sufferinfj. encourages this prac
tice until large bills are made. The suf
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Fa

would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. . It has been

The laws of nature and heredity are fixed and invariable. Parents who
are related by the tie3 of blood, or who have a consumptive tendency, or
family blood taint, are sure to transmit it to their children in the form of
Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, hip disease, pale, waxy
complexions, emaciated bodies, running sores and ulcers, and general weak
constitutions are the principal ways in which the disease is manifested.
Those who have inherited this blighting trouble may succeed in holding it
in check during young, vigorous life : but after a spell of sickness, or when
the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, the ravages ot
the disease will become manifest and sometimes run into Consumption.
S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out the scrofulous deposits,
