When you notice that your lady

show it by seeming indifference. If

The pilot schooner Gov. Moody
was lying at the dock Friday night,
and about ten o'clock that night Olof
Hansen, a 3ailor, aged 27, employed
on board, -and whose turn it was to
stand watch, went on board and find
ing one of tho pilots there who told
him ha would look after the safety of
tho vessel, turned to go on shore
again. Nothing further was seen or
heard ot him, but next morning he
wa3 missing, and search being insti
tuted, his companions were horrified
to Cud hi3 doad body at low tide by
the side of the schooner, whew ho
had evidently fallen from tho plank
in going ashore the night before. His
arm was broken, and he had a severe
wound on his Lead, where hs had
struck against a submerged pilo iu
falling, thus preventing his risiug or
making any outcry, the unfortunate
man perishing without any possibili
ty ot being seen or heard in tho dark
ness. He was a member of th" Scan
dinavian Benevolent association, by
whom ho will bo buried at ihree
o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
Sometimo ago special agent Tingle
made charges against Major T. J.
Blakeney, superintendent ot tho life
saving service on this coast, of a most
damaging nature, tiient. McLcllan
of the revenue marino service, was de
tailed to go to San Francisco to in
vestigate, and if Tingle's charges
were proven, to put a successor in
Major Blakeney's place. Lieut. Mc
Lellan visited every station in the
district, made minute inquiry in this
city and elsewhere, and on his retnrn
to San Francisco continued his
search, telling Tingle ho would re
main in that city all summer if he
needed so much timo to adduce proof.
The result is that Lieut. McLellan
makes report to the department that
Major Blakeney is a mo-t zealous
officer, thoroughly efficient and with
but one aim in view, tho good of the
service. Lieut. McLellan takes the
opportunity to compliment Major
Blakeney on the excellent condition
of the stations, the competency of
the keepers and crewe, and tho con
dition ot the service. Tingle failed
to prove a single charge and Major
Blakeney's vindication is triumphant
and complete.
Does It Pay?
Tnree-fourtns ot our people are
troublod with Dyspepsia and liver
Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has a
depressing influence on the mind or
body, preventing them from thinking
or acting clearly in any matter of im
portance. Indigestion, coming np of
food after eatinc. dyspepsia, sick
head-ache, acidity of tho stomach or
any derangement of the stomach or
liver (upon which the whole action of
our system depends) are speedily and
effectually overcomo by the use of
Green's August Floicer. The most
stubborn cases have yielded to its in
fluence, as thousands of letters re-
coivod will testify. Tho immense sale
of this medioino is another guarantee
ot its merits, (over a million aud a
half bottles sold last year.) So we
ask, will it pay you to suffer from any
of the above diseases when vou can
havo immediate relief in tho August
Flower. Three doses will provo its
worth. It is sold by all druggists and
general dealors in all parts of the
world.

DONT WORRY.
The Shrewd Business Man' i Method
of Overcoming Difficulties.
"Is there a fatality among our pro
minentmen" is a question that we
often ask. It is a question that per
plexes our leading medical men, and
they are at a loes to know how to
answer it.
We BometimeB think that if tho
physicians would givo part of the
energy to the consideration of this
question that they give to combatting
other schools of practice, it might
be satisfactorily answered.
Tho fight of "isms" reminds us
often of the quarrels of old Indian
tribes, that were only happy when
they were annihilating each other.
If Allopathy makes a discovery
that promises good to tho raco,
Homoeopathy derides it and breaks
down its influence. If Homoeopathy
makes a discovery that promises to
be a boon to tho race, Allopathy
attacks it.
It is absurd that these schools
should fancy that all of good is in
their methods and nono in any other.
Fortunately for tho people, the
merit which these "isms" will not
recognize, is recognized by the public,
and the public recognition, taking
the form of a demand upon the
medical profession, eventually com
pels it to recognize it.
Is it possible that tho question
has been answered by shrewd busi
ness man? A prominent man once
said to an inquirer, who asked him
how he got rich, "I got rich because
I did things while other people wero
thinking about doing them." It
seems to us that the public have
recognized what this fatality is, and
how it can be mot, while the medical
profession have been wrangling about
it.
By a careful examination of in
surance reports wo find that there
has been a sharp reform with re
ference to examinations, (and that
no man can now got any amount of
insurance who has tho least develop
ment of kidney disorder,) because
they find that sixty out of every
hundred in this country do, either
directly or indirectly, sufler from
kidney disease. Henco no reliable
company will insure a man except
after a rigid urinary examination.
This reminds us of a little instance
which occurred a short timo ago.
A fellow editor was an applicant for
a respectable amount of insurance.
He was rejected on examination,
because, unknown to himself, his
kidneys were diseased. The shrewd
agent, however, did not give up the
case. He had an eye to business and
to his commission, and said : "Don't
you worry; you get a half dozen
bottles of "Warner's safo cure, take it
according to directions and in about
a month come around, and we will
have anothci examination. I know
you will find yourself all tight and
will get your policy."
The editor expressed surprise at
the agent's faith, but the latter
replied: "This point is a valuable
one. Very many insurance agents
all over tho country, when they find
a customer rejected for this cause,
give similar advice, and eventually
he gets the insurance."
What are we to infer from such
circumstances? Havo shrewd in
surance men, as well as other shrewd
business men,found the secret answei
to the inquiry? Is it possible that
our columns have been proclaiming,
in the form of advertisements, what
has proved a blessing in disguise to
millions, and yet by many ignored
as an advertisement?
In our files wo find thousands ol
strong testimonials for Warner's safe
cure, no two alike, which could not
exist except upon a basis of truth ;
indeed, thev are published under a
guarantee of 5,000 to any ono who
will disprove their correctness, and
this offer has been standing, wo are
told, for more than four years.
Undoubtedly this article, which is
simply dealing out justice, will be
considered as an advertisement and
be rejected by many as such.
Wo have not space nor timo to" dis
cuss the proposition that a poor
thing could not succeed to tho extent
that this great remedy has succeeded,
could not become so popular without
merit even if pushod by a Vanderbilt
or an Astor.
Hence we take the liberty of telling
our friends that it is a duty that they
owe to themselves to investigate the
matter and reflect carefully, for the
statements published aro subjoct to
tho refutation of the entire world.
Nono have refuted them; on the
contrary hundreds of thousands have
believed them and proved them
true, and in believing have found
tho highest measuro Qf satisfaction,
that which money cannot buy, and
money cannot tako away.
