Animal Watch Sale
Genuine bargains in thoroughly dependable watches
are not common, nor really much sought for. Watches
are not bought for a season, to-lay aside with each
change of style. Therefore the purchase of a new watch
is made with utmost caution, generally, and the thought
of a bargain is secondary to that of obtaining a trust
worthy timepiece. Here's the rare opportunity for men
and women to obtain an honest watch and save at least
one-half jewelers' prices.

Extent of Recent Earthquakes.
NEW YORK, April 26. The earthquake
which caused such destruction in Central
America, last Friday, extended as far
north as Baltimore, says a dispatch from
that city to the Tribune. At the Johns
Hopkins University Observatory the film
had just been taken off the selsmogranh,
and it was found to indicate the heaviest
earth disturbance recorded since the ma
chine was put In operation.
The first measurable shock reached Bal
timore about 9:30 o'clock last Friday
night, For about four minutes the dis
turbance was slight, then it suddenly be
came stronger. The heaviest shock was
recorded about 9:40 o'clock. It soon sub
sided to a lower degree of violence; but
the disturbance was comparatively strong
for an hour and a half. The whole dis
turbance was apparent oyer a space of
two hours and a half. The shocks were
not strong enough to be. generally perceptible.
TREAT OUTSIDE PATIENTS
St. Vincent's Hospital ""Will 31lnl'ster
to Needs 'of "Worthy Side.
The Sisters of St. Vincent's Hospital
have established an out-patient depart
ment In connection, with -the hospital,
which will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays from 1 to 2 P. M. Here
all patients that are able to come to tht
hospital . arid receive treatment and not
be confined will receive the attention of
one of the regular members of the staff
of the visiting: physicians and surgeons
of the hospital free of charge.
The- doctors and nurses of Portland
have long felt the need -of such a move
ment. There are, a vast number of people
who, although amply able to provide themselves-
with the ordinary necessities of
life, and who are by no means people who
should come under the cafe o? the county,

are unable to meet the expense of medi
cal treatment of which they may be in
need." In this way worthy people are
often left to undergo much suffering that
It Is possible for them to be spared.
This free clinic movement is a natu
ral accompaniment of the work being un
dertaken by the Visiting Nurse Associa
tion. Both have the game object in view,
but the one reaches conditions tho other
does not. There are many cases where
the care and attention of a trained nurse
will allay suffering and many times save
life. There are many cases, however,
which are not of euch a serious nature
as to require this care, and where the at
tention of a reliable practitioner might
not only relieve suffering, but check in
their beginning dlseaees that, If allowed
to go unheeded, would result In an early
death.
Tho out-patient department has grown
to be one of the prominent features of
Eastern hospitals, and those who have
seen its work speak highly in its praise.
St. Vincent's Hospital Is situated on
Twenty-fourth street, and Is in direct
communication with all the car lines of
the city. Its patients will receive the
same treatment as other patients of the
hospital, and the care of the same staff
of doctors. A female nurso will be In at
tendance when desired.

to the estate of his late partner, Dr.

Conceded General Manager Vin-

It "Will. Be Accepted.
After being' on a strike one week. San
Francisco street railway employes win
a victory, and will resume their places
today. They secure a 10-hour day, aa
advance In wages, 'and. In a. manner,
recognition of their union.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 28. The strike,
on the street-railway system, of the United
Railroads, which went Into effect last
Saturday night, was officially declared off
tonight. Victory rests with the employes,
who are conceded all their principal de
mands. The United Railroads have grant
ed an advance In wages, a 10-hour day
and in a measure recognized the carmen's
union.
On tho question of unionism the agree
ment provides that the company will
maintain such regulations as will enable
full attention to all complains made di
rectly by its employes; will cause prompt
Investigation to bo made of such com
plaints, and when it discovers the same to
be well founded will rectify any wrong3
found to exist. .It will not, however, deal
in matters Involving tho management of
its own affairs with other than Its own
employes or committees thereof. The
company "recognizes the right of every
person to belong or to refuse to belong
to a labor union, and it will discharge no
employe because of his connection with
such a union.

P. Vlning, general manager of the Market
Street Railway Company, which controls
all the lines recently purchased by the
United Railways, save the Sutro, Sutter
and San Mateo properties, has sent in his
resignation. Its acceptance is said to be
a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Vlning came to this city at the re
quest of the Huntington Interests to take
charge 'of the Market-Street Railway
system in 1SW, and has held his place
since. He had been traffic manager of tho
Union Pacific, with headquarters In
Omaha, and subsequently served as com
missioner of the Transcontinental Freight
Association.
A report is current that the same In
terests that brought him to San Fran
cisco will now put him In charge of the
street railway properties in Los Angeles,
which those Interests have recently ac
quired.
