Nearly all the professions of Port land, a great numoer of business peo- file and hundreds of the leading fam lies of the city and state are well acquainted with Dr. N. J. Fulton, the renowned Naturopath, (according to na ture,) who has been practicing here for nearly a decade. Dr. Fulton was the pioneer Naturopath of the north Pa cific coast, and so successful waa her practice from the beginning that she speedily won her way to the very best circles of our municipality and ad jacent country.

Councilman Drlsooll the world, where people are discarding the old and worn-out things of the bast. and adopting the new. rational and sen sible practices of modern science and modern education. After wrangling for several hours yesterday afternoon the street commit tee of the city council finally agreed to report that it could make no recom mendation to the council in regard to the franchise for the National Auto matic Fire Alarm Box company. This was due to the fact that three of the members were In favor of giving the company the franchise asked for and three were not. The councllmen favor ing the ordinance were Vaughn, Dns- coll and Wallace, while Kelluher. Col- tel and Concannon opposed the measure. Crown of India, Br. ah. Antwarn Cornil Bart, Fr. bk.

Loomla Am. ss San Francisco warm made a sensational charge that the city has expended about $30,000 waste fully for conduits and cables for tho fire department and promised to make further disclosures in the future. He refused to say anything further on the matter yesterday, but Intimated that he would' do so at the next council, meeting. Although the action of the commit tee stayed matters In the application of the fire alarm box company for a franchise yesterday, it 1b considered now that the ordinance will pass the council. Councilman Kellaher has led the fight against the measure since it was Introduced, claiming that the fran chise Is the moat valuable one the city has had to deal with for years. He bases his objection to the franchise on the ground that the company will attach its wires to the city lire alarm service, and further, that the com pany Is seeking to gain the franchise at this time so that it will be able to secure the benefits of the conduits and cables which the city contemplates laying. Another objection raised to the fran chise is that the automatic feature is a nuisance rather than a benefit to tns city. Councilman Kellaher read a list of alarms received through the auto matic service, at yesterday's meeting and about 90 per cent or them were false alarms. Kellaher was backed in his objection to the oomDanv on this point by Chief Campbell and Chief Elec trician Bavarian. Richard W. Montague, attorney for the com Dan v. answered Councilman Kel laher by stating that despite the large number of false alarms reported In by the automatic system the saving to the property owners In the actual fires reported more than balanced the need less runs made by the department. He said that the city department makes many runs to false alarms turned In by Irresponsible persons. THE DOCTOR HAS DREDS CURED H UN- Maverick, Am. ss. Catania, Am. ss. . .......Sat Francisco .......

Abe Hummel, who has been sojourning on Blackwell's Island for nearly a year as a result of the part he played In the sensa tion Dodge-Morse divorce, case, la about to emerge from hla retreat a, free man. He haa been an exemplary prisoner during his stay on the Island and this has shortened his year's sentence to 10 months. His term will therefore come to an end two weeks hence. Various stories are current as to Hummel'a plana for the future. His family and friends have advised him to go abroad and remain until the events of the recent past have been forgotten In a measure, by the public. But Hummel Is a man who has lived on publicity ever since he landed In New York from his nstlve Boston years ago. Publicity Is as breatn to his nostrils, and it Is not likely that he will be content to remain very long out of the limelight. He will not be able to resume his firactice as a lawyer on account of hav ng been disbarred. Furthermore the revelations in his own case and also In the Thaw case in which he was In directly Involved would make It Impos sible for him to regain hla former standing in the profession, even if the disbarment were removed. Consequent ly the shrewd little lawyer will be forced to find a new field In which to exer cise his undeniable talents. It Is said that he Intends to become a real es tate broker and an operator. He is still possessed of considerable fortune of his own. And many of his friend and clients of former year will doubtless find It to their Interest to lend him a helping hand if he needs It. Notwithstanding the report circulated some months sgo that he was In a dying condition Hummel will leave prison In better health than he has been for years. The fresh air of his Island ro treat, the wholesome food and. above all. the removal from the pleasures and dissipations of the Great White Way, have don wonders for the little lawyer In restoring him to health. It Is true that he has been lodged In the hosDltal and has enioved all the prlvlllges snd immunities of a hospital patient. But he was never in better health in hi life than he Is today. Although pictures have aoDeared In the sensational press showing Hummel in the stripes of a Blackwell's Island prisoner, no one on the Island has seen him In that garb. Under some kind of arrangement with somebody the little lawyer has been allowed to keep on the garb of Broadway. Anomer notion is that He has been employed in tne bajce shop or the pris on or broken stone on the nlle Hut as -a matter of fact, the hardest work ne nas done since be was sentenced, is to play pinochle with some of his renow patients and to read th dally papers, wmcn ne nas received regU' Iarly from hla relatives and frionH. Hummel'a most constant visitors are his nephew. Able Kaffenberg, and his iwu lBtcrs, one or wnom, it is said. Is at the prison hospital to see her brother as often as th prison rules permit or as often as thev ran h. stretcneo to permit. And It Is common talk among the other prisoners that the rules are very elastic where Hum- mei is concerned. SLABW00D " - In Any Quantity Oregon & Washington Lumber Co.
