Schmitz , leader of the orchestra at the Columbia The ater , as mayor , has been ofter one of the most sensational three-cornered fights that has ever taken place In this city. Schmitz's election is a triumph of the wage earners over the employ ers. He was nominated on the union labor ticket and forthree weeks waged an aggressive campaign for the recog nition of the trades union element. The organization of the party and the nomination of Schmitz was the outgrowth of the strike of machinists , teamsters and longshoremen. A full ticket was put in the field against the democrats and republicans. Schmitz won by 3,000 plurality over Wells , re publican , and carried three supervisors into office with him. In spite of the cries of the business men , Mr. Schmitz is the very reverse of inflammatory. His voice is all for peace. His projects are peaceable pro jects. The entire bent of his mind is toward cementing and upbuilding.rath- er than disrupting and tearing down. IS TALL , AND MUSCULAR. In the first place , the man is what Is called a "fine animal. " He towers six feet one inch in his stockings and weighs 205 pounds. He stands as straight as an Indian and walks with a free and muscular stride. There is no show of fat on him. His clear eye tells that he digests his food weel that there is no indigestion to make him cranky. Three years ago Schmitz had a steamer venture on the upper Yukon. In those days that hard land was no place for weaklings. It hit some strong men very hard. Schmitz came out of it In better condition than he went in. A five weeks' campaign with five talks a night has not frazzled him. { Another trait that is going to help Schmitz is his ready laugh. He has the sense of good humor , which is a saving grace. Good-natured men with good health are not magazines of dan ger. ger.Mr. Mr. Schmitz was born on the soil. His father was a pioneer of 1849 the man who built the first brick house in San Francisco. All the pride of a native son tends to make the future Mayor mindful of what is best for the city's growth and prosperity. A man who has lived thirty-seven years in. San Francisco without trying to harm it is not expected to break out as a disruptionist now. The new mayor obtained his educa tion in the public schools here. It is not a finished education , but many a man has made good mayor or good governorwho started with far less. Tn an executive position book learning is not nearly so essential as a clear head and an honest heart. The musical education of Mr.Schmitz was obtained from his father , Joseph L. Schmitz , well remembered as an' orchestra leader , and his uncle , Chris topher Schmitz. From them he learn ed the drums , the violin and the piano. He began his work as a drummer boy in the old Standard theater on Bush street .under his father's baton. From that he worked his way up to leader ship of the California Theater orches tra , which position he accepted in 1895. He has been a leader of orchestras i j ever since .his outside ventures con- ; sisting of the Alaskan steamer enter- | prise and his connection with the j Economist Gas Engine company. ; There is still a stronger pledge that he will work for the best interests of < the city. He married a California \ girl , Miss Julia A. Driscoll , of Watson- ! ] - - - - * * * - * * * - - - - - vllle. In his comfortable home he has three children two girls and a boy. His home life is the best guarantee that he will work for the betterment of the conditions surrounding all the home life of the city. Those who have a fancy for the stu dy of heredity will be Interested in knowing that the father of Mr.Schmitz was a German , while his mother.Char- lotte Hogan , was born in County Clare , Ireland , and came to this country a baby. Presumably it was the trick of the togue he got from his mother that made him such a good campaigner. He never made a speech in public before never had addressed an audience of any size. Yet he was able to express himself forcefully and even eloquently when the demand came for talking to thousands. He had never been In politics before , beyond taking the average Interest of the mna who discusses candidates and platforms and tries to cast his vote for the best man and the most mer itorious , measures. But from the be ginning of the campaign he showed a knowledge of local conditions and mu- nicipa laffairs that comes to none but those who feel a keen interest in the citys well being. In national politics he is a republican. Mr. Schmitz has been connected with union labor for sixteen years. For four years he was secretary of the Musi cians' union and was a delegate to the old labor council. He was president of the Musical Fund society , a charitable organization in existence since 1863 , of which his father was one of the found ers. He is now president of the Mu sicians' union. In religion he is a Catholic. Neither a teetotaler nor a hard drinj ker , he declares that in all things he is a moderate religion , politics and personal habits. He likes the open countrq , has a fondness for a rifle or a fowling piece , and frequently goes on hunting and camping expeditions in search of birds or hig game. "My life has not been eventful , " he says. "I have not been given to acci dents or notable enterprises. As I tell you , moderation has been the con trolling tone of my career. " Such is an outline of the man who is to be the next mayor of San Fran cisco. There seems to be nothing in his life to indicate a tendency toward revolutionary tactics. He will proceed slowly and cautiously. He will have many conferences with leading citizens and public officials before he makes a move. He intends to familiarize himself very thoroughly with the city's governmental machinery before he ; takes hold of the lever. He promises that nothing will be done in heat or temper. As to the general trend of his belief and his policy , Mr. Schmitz said with emphasis and feeling : "I want co see more friendly rela tions between the employer and the employed. I want peace , peace , peace. I believe that in a peaceful union and in the general diffusion of education lie the hope of advancing civilization and the certainty of a national prosperity. I believe in fair consideration for in vested capital as correlative to similar consideration for organized labor. I am in favor of peaceful measures at all hazards in every relation between the employer and the employe and thoroughly deplore any resort to vio lence in the settlement of differences. " That is not the talk of a firebrand ! or a disturber. Anyone who will talk to Mr. Schmitz will be convinced that he means what he says. - - * - - - - * f THE TERRIBLE GILA MONSTER , The terrible Gila monster has t-pread his sinister fame afar. This so-called monster is a small lizard about eighteen inches long. It Is more hideous than dangerous , and from its repulsiveness gets much of its "monster" qualities. It is covered with black scales ; the head is broad , flat ind black ; the mouth Isabout three Inches across ; the teeth are grooved and as sharp as a needle , and the tongue is black and forked , and when thrust out in anger emits a somewhat poisonous saliva. The reptile has four squatty legs , apon which it sluggishly moves with a i swinging gait , using the fore and ilnd feet of alternates sides , and keep ing the head almost on the ground. On ; ach foot are five toes , and on each toe s a sharp-pointed claw. The "monster" will not attack any- hing except the other reptiles that it Ives upon. If a tourist , while study- .ng natural life , should step upon one , is it lies half embedded in the sand , It yill spit out Its greenish saliva a few lew inches. It then raises its head ( .gain and thrusts out its forked black s ongue > In a defiant manner , and strikes it the traveler. Its grip , when it selz- js anything , Is like that of a vise. j Indians of the desert unloose the j aws by cutting the reptile's mouth pen with a knife. In some instances he bite of the monster has really > roved fatal , and In others not. Another curious reptile of the Colo- ado desert Is the "horned toadi i i vhlch , Indeed , has no horns , but a ilight protruberance over the head , ike a hood. It is not as dangerous as t looks to be , and soon becomes do- nesticated. Women tourists buy them or pets from the desert Indians at he stations , ; who pack the toads in , oxes partly filled with sand. | The buyer is told to feed the toad ! | tn red ants , flies and beetles , and as | lie tourist is not generally supplied i | vith these , the pet is soon starved to | [ ieath. _ _ i i The head is flat , and covered with sharp spine's about half an inch long , and the back is covered with shorter ones , extending to the pointed and sharp tail , the edge of which has two rows of spines , or teeth , like a two- edged saw. "Chehwalla" is the Indian name of a reptile of the lizard species which the desert Indians use for food. It is skinned and roasted on hot rocks. It is not poisonous. j The members of the Daughters of the American Revolution in New Tork , state are 'more active than others of , the society , or so it seems. They ap pear to be always dedicating memo rials of patriotic deeds. One of the latest is their celebrating the 125th an- niverysary of the battle of Pell's Point , an engagement in which Colonel Glover with 550 Americans held back a. I I few thousand troops under General Howe , who was hoping to cut off Gen- , eral Washington's retreat to White Plains. The chapter unveiled a hand some bronze tablet on Glover's Rock , a huge boulder in Pelham Bay park. Deputy Sheriff Miller of Marion , Ind. , I balked an elopement by arresting Mr. John McMahon , aged 20 years , son of a wealthy wholesale grocer of Elwood , Ind. , and Ruth Lehring , who was also dressed in male attire. The girl had donned man's garb to escape the scru tiny of the officers pursuing the cou- pie , who had expected to be married ' [ at Marion. The girl broke'down and j confessed when placed in jail. She gave the name of Vandlne , but a card in her clothing bore the name of Ruth Lrehring. She said her home was in Zanesville , O. Arrangements are being made In Scotland to fittingly celebrate the cen- tenary of the birth of Hugh Miller , ge- ologlst , author and journalist , on Oc- tober 2 next year. - - . . . - - FACTS FROM EVERYWHERE.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured. by local applications , as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness , and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you havp a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing , and wnen it Is entirely closed deafness is the result , and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition , hearing will be de stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh , which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
