106 THE SAN FRAN ISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1895. APPLAUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOTTERY CRUSACE. Dr. Brown’s Congrega-| tion Demonstrates Its Approval. INDORSING THE “CALL” Eighty Thousand Dollars a Month Taken Out of Oakland. THE MOVEMENT 1S POPULAR. Buylng Two Bits’ Worth of Hope for a Month—The Counterfeit Tickets. Quoting from the reportof the Grand >. 0. Brown, in his address last the First Congregational in “The Civic Federation at the Bar,” the reverend speaker read: ng Church on The fact that newspapers continue to publish notices of lotteries is a crying | shame, but we are advised that it is not within the province of the Grand Jury to indict, as the law is not made to cover more than amisdemeanor in these cases. This jury desires to express to the | people of the City the commendable | course of such of its dailics as have now | refused to advertise the drawings of the | various lottery companies. It is to be | hoped that other proprietors will, in | Justice to themselves and to the public, follow this good example, which will go | well in the line of progress this State is now making. When the pastor finished reading these paragraphs the silence in the church was broken by loud applause, by the clapping of hands from all partsof the editice, a manifestation that the example set by the | CALL in refusing to publish lottery adver- tisements and lottery drawings has the in- dorsement of the people who are not law- breakers. There was a large congregation in the | First Congregational Church last evening to listen to Rev. Dr. Brown's address on | the Civic Federation of this City. The pastor detailed what the Civic Federation is. He then asked what need was there for such an organization in this City? There | was need for it because of the violation of the Jaw regulating the elective franchise, gambling, indecent literature and obscene prints and photographs. lotteries, the | social evil, side entrances to saloons, be- | cause liquor was sold to children. | There were these aud other evils, but at | the oatset the Civic Federation was told by | vrominent officials that these things did | not exist, that some evil places were order- | 1y and that if there was any gambling or | lottery carried onit was conducted without | the knewledge of the police. “Now here I have an important docu- | ment. It is the report of the Grand Jury, | and it sustains every affirmation made by | the Civic Federation at the meetings held | several months ago.” The pastor then read an extract from the report to show that it sustained what the federation had declared about election frauds, and said that the portion which re- | flects on Judge Belcher is something for citizens to ponder over. What is wanted is purity at the ballot box and purity in the judiciary. Commenting on this portion of this re- port he said that those ¥ho manipulated the frauds at the ballot box preferred to be indicted than tell of those who employed them, and the result was that the tools are wearing stripes while those who employed them are walking the streets. He said that before the next election there will be such a reformation that such frauds as have been perpetrated in the past would not be repeated. He read from the report about the Po- lice Courts and Judge Campbell, and said that if the federation had not brought these matters te light it wounld have been the duty of some one elseto doso. Reading from the reportabout dives and the social evil, he said: “This report bears cut the federation again, but it says, ‘In this con- nection we have suggested to the police that there are many abandoned residence dustricts where the women of the half world might be compelled to take up their abode, and where their presence would not be demoralizing to the youth of both sexes.” Now I ask why, in the name of out- raged womanhood, ought there to be any part of this city set apart to commit | crime?” Referring to the side entrance evil, he said that the report again supported the charges made by the federation, and con- tradieted that they were clesed. He said the report suggested that respectable mer- chants and saloon-keepers should co-oper- | ate with good citizens in suppressing this evil. He added that he did not have mueh | of un opinion of saloon-keepers. Then the Rev. Mr. Brown read the por- tion of the report relating to gambling and lotteries and opium dens. *“The law sgainst lotteries has been most flagrantly | violated, and men who engage in this busi- ness go from door to door offering to seli | tickets. If one came to my door and offered me such I would order him to leave as quick as he could, and if he did not go quick enough I would help him to go.” He then read the portion of the Grand Jury report which is quoted at the head of this article, and said thatevery honorable newspaper man should stop the | publication of advertisements relating to | lotteries and making money by such means at the expense of the people of the community, and when he referred to the daily paper that has refused such, though | not mentioning it by name, there was loud applause. He then spoke of the attacks that would naturally be made on the federation by those who thrive on crime and whose in- terests would be affected. He said that all who fare engaged in the work of the lederation are unselfish, and that Dr. Dille ought to be supported for what he bas already done. If it should appear in the examination in the Police Court that ihe members who are now before it had made a mistake as to some minor details jharm at all events, in the report to Governor Budd, that should not militate against the federation, but, on the contrary, it should receive the support, hearty and sincere, of all who are in favor of honest, upright enforcement of the laws. Just before the closing hymn was being sung and before the benediction was pro- nounced, the pastor was handed a card, and, advancing in the pulpit, be said that Judge Campbell was in the congregaticn and expressed a desire to speak in regard to what had been read from the Grand Jury report. The Judge was invited to the pulpit, and he made a short address, declaring that the matters charged against him were without foundation; that this was the work of parties against whom he had ren- dered judgments in saloon cases and of parties representing manufactures against whom he had decided; that they had sought to prevent his election, und that he had come out 3500 votes ahead of his op- ponent. He then declared that he had always been and always intended to be on the side of morality. His remarks were applauded three times, and as he passed through the aisle to the rear of the church his hand was warmly shaken by many of the congregation. Al A POPULAR CRUSADE. “Ccall” Has Gained Many Friends for Its Stand on the Lottery Question. It is better to be right than to be victor, is the spirit and intent if not the wording of a very ancient but very w proverb. It is the spirit with which the CaLL began the anti-lottery crusade. It was with the The | determination to fight the lotteries asan evil to the commonwealth, to down them if possible, to decrease their power for whether the fight proved a financial loss or gain, a popular or an unpopular cause. Necessarily the fight has proven a costly one. It often costs money to dare to stand for right and the truth. Necessarily tight the lotteries meant the loss of a cer- tain amount of advertising patronage for which the very highest rates are paid. But the CALL calculated the cost and would have entered the fight had it been a hundred-fold greater than it has been. Even the possibility of the cause being an unpopular one was considered before the crusade was started. In certain quar- ters a loss of subscribers was to be e pected if the lotteries were assailed. Nev- ertheless the lotteries were assailed. And the result has not been disastrous—not to an appreciable extent. On the contrary the CarvL’s anti-lottery crusade has won for it a thousand new friends for every subscriber lost, because of its unique attitude on the lottery ques- tion. Unique, though a very pregrant word, expresses the situation in this City exactly. The CaiL stands alone among the great daily nev toward the lotteries. It is not pleasant for one who takes a pride in his City to reflect that ail but one of its newspapers are con- stantly breaking the law by opening its columns to lottery advertisements. But it is the truth. And those who consider the Carv's atti- tude an unpopular one, unique as it is in San Francisco journalism, are very much mistaken—as the CALL has ample reason to know, and as but a little inquiry among | the law-abiding people, both rich and poor, in and out of the churches, will readily prove. From all quarters have come words of praise for the CALL’s attitude on the lot: tery evil; commendation of the Cary’ crusade against the pernicious traflic as well as moral and active support in its behalf. “You would be surprised if you knew the number of church people that bought lot- tery tickets,” said a Western Addition man | who has grown rich by selling lottery | tickets and running a tiny cigar-stand, | yesterday afternoon. “Thirty per cent of my customers in the last ten years have been members of churches in this City. For two years I sold a lottery ticket every month to a preacher of one of the Protestant churches in this part of the City. He doesn’t patronize me any more, and I'll tell you why: I had a bet with a friend of mine that he wasnota preacher. So to decide the bet, I up and asked him one day, ‘Aren’t you the Rev. So and So?’ I~asked him, right point blank. He answered that he was, but he never came here after that. I won the bet, but lost a customer. It wasn’t a great loss, for he only bonght one ticket a month, but if preachers can buy them, why should not Jaymen?”’ Because it isagainst the law for either laymen or preachers to buy lottery tickets, and becanse a conscientious man can’t | square his own conscience on any such flimsy plea as that of breaking the law be- cause a minister of the gospel did so. If the preacher turned thief, that would not furnish even a fool with an excuse for petty larceny. But this isa lottery ticket-seller’s story, and it may or may not be true. And if it is true it only makes the matter so much worse, the need of an aggressive' crusade against the baneful traffic so much more pressing. If it be true that one minister of the gospel has so far forgotten the tenets of his high calling as to become even a mod- erate gambler, it is certainly not true that the ministers of San Francisco asa body, either opanly or covertly, countenance the lottery evil. Every man of them, with this one possi- ble and doubtful exception, is unalterably opposed to lottery gambling or gambling in any form. Not long since the CALL pub- lished brief interviews 'with the represen- tative clergymen of this City of all sects and denominations. And among all the interviews there was not one that did not emphatically indorse the attitude of the CaLL on the lottery question and deplore the fact that the advertising columns of the other daily papers were still open to the pernicious advertisements of the lot- teries. Those who declared themselves at that time were the Revs. W. D. Williams, Plymouth Church; George E. Walk, Trin- ity; Dr. Dille, Central Mothodist; M. J. Fergusson, Christian; W. H. Moreland, St. Luke’s; Robert Mackenzie, First Presby- terian; John Hemphill, Calvary; W. E. Goodwin, California-street Methodist; Jacob Voorsunger, Temple Emanu-El; A. M. Russell, Hamilton-square Baptist; Dr. C. 0. Brown, First Congregational; A. C. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U.S. Gov't Report Roval Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE papers in its attitude | Hirst, Simpson Memorial; J. A, Schroeder, St. Johannes; J. O. Wahlberg, Swedish Methodist; Hermann Cordes, Emanuel; Paul Branke, St. Paul Lutheran; W. C. Pond, Bethany; Joseph Worcester, New Jerusalem; L. W. Sprague, Second Unitar- ian; Frederick Cordes, Salem Evangelical ; J. G. Mangold, St. John’s Lutheran; J. A. Emery, St. Peter’s; W. W. Bolton, St. Mary the Virgin; P. R. Lynch, St. James; Wiltiam Schuldt, German Methodist, and Eli McClisb, Grace Methodist. The list stopped where it did only from lack of space. It need not have halted short of the last church in the City. Since that time there have been many evidences —if such were needed—to prove the sin- cerity of the words spoken by these sincere men and earnest workers who lead the religions thought of this City. Take any preacher at random in the City. Ask him to tell you his views of the lottery business. You will hear but one opinion. The only difference is in the words. And here are some examples: The Rev. Dr. C. O. Brown, of the First Congregational Church, praised the Carr | as the pioneer in a splendid crusade for the abolishment of one of the greatest gambling evils in California, and said he was glad to sce the great headway that was being made in the movement. The Rev. Dr. A. C. Hirst, of the Simpson Memorial Church, said he wanted to go on record as in most hearty accord with the good work now being done by the CaLn against the lotteries. It is gambling pure and simple,” he declared, ‘‘and perhaps the very worst form of gambling, because it is the most insidious.” Rev. Bli McClish of Grace Methodist Church is also of the opinion that the lot- tery traflic is the most insidious of all gambling schemes. “I regard it as the worst form of gambling,” said he, ‘“be- cause it is so far-reaching. It is not in ac- cord with sound principles of trade nor morals, and I am glad that we have at least one great daily newspaper that is not afraid to say 0.” The Rev. M. J. Fergusson, pastor of Christ Church, said he was gratified at the progress made by the CALL in its anti-lot- tery sade. *‘Itis an evil that imposes sometimes great hardships on the many for the enrichment of the few—this de- moralizing traffic in lottery tickets,” said he. “I cannot see how a conscientious i newspaper publisher can reconcile his course in advertising a concern that is un- der the ban of both the State and National laws.” Rev. W. H. Moreland of 8t. Luke's Episcopal Church cannot understand how a newspaper that pretends to uphold the laws and advises the public to be law abid- ing can, in the same issue, throw its adver- tising columns open to the drawings of the lottery companies. ‘“‘The CALL's crusade isa good workand I am sure that much good will come from it.”” The Rev. Dr. Mackenzie of the First | Presbyterian Church had nothing but con- demnation for the lottery companies and | for those who assist the evilin any way. ““If every paper would follow the good ex- ample set by the CALL in the matter,” said he, “the influence of the lottery would be greatly decreased.” | Rev. John Hemphill of Calvary Church |said he thought that if the newspapers would cease advertising their drawings that would have a tendency to lessen the | great lottery evil because it would make the business more difficult to conduct and less profitable. Rev. W. E. Goodwin of the California- street Methodist Episcopal Church said there could be no doubt of the evil effects | of lottery gambling and that it was the duty of all law-abiding people to assist the Carvy’s crusade against the traffic. Rev. Dr. W. D. Williams of the Pl mouth Congregational Church is of the | opinion that it is as reprehensible for the newspaper 10 publish lottery advertise- ments as it is for the companies and their agents to make use of the mails to circulate the tickets. He condemned the lottery evil in the strongest terms. And, indeed, what preacher does not condemn the lotiery traffic? A minister of the gospel friendly to lotteries is an an- omaly not to be found in San Francisco, even if it is true that one preacher bought tickets. He did it against the dictates ot his own manhood, against the mutterings of his own conscience—if he did it at all. oi s TWO BITS WORTH OF HOPE. | Enormous Sums of Money Taken i Out of the City by the Various Lottery Companles. “One day 1 asked a poor workingman | how much he earned a day. He told me. It was less than a dollar. Then I asked him if he could afford to buy a lottery ! ticket each month,” said an otherwise | very excellent woman who deals in lottery tickets to a CALL man yesterday. “Do you know what he told me. He said if it was not for the hope he got with each ticket he would give up the struggle and pass over the life line. He said he had no hope of being able to better his con- dition in any other way except by win- ning in the lottery. He is a day laborer. “Iknow another case of an old woman who is a cripple. She picks up a living in some way—I hardly know how, but the living is very scant. She told me once she sat in her lonely garret so long that she knows every flower and figure on the wall- paper, even to the smallest scratch or blemish on it. ‘I sit there all day and hope,’ she says. ‘Every month I buy a two-bit ticket, and then the rest of the month I spend in picturing to myself the great prize I am going to win, and in calculating what to do with the money when I get it. When the paper comes out and I see I have not won anything then my spirits fail for a time, but even then I have the hope of another drawing to look forward to, and when I have bought the new ticket then I go on with my dreams of riches. 'What would I do without those dreams?’ . “Now, you wouldn’t want to take that hope away from these people, would you?"’ asked this woman. “It’s the abuse of the thing that's really bad,” she went on to say. “I won't sell a man more lottery tickets in a month than I think he can afford to buy. I have refused many of them. But, of course, that doesn’t do any good. He goes right off and buys all the tickets he wants of the first street peddler he meets. The only satisfaction I get is in the knowledge that I have none of his money that his family needs. “Do you know why it is that the street peddlers do so well? It is because there are so many fine ladies 1 the residence districts who would be afraid to go out and buy alottery ticket in a store. But they want the tickets just the same, and some- times they are even willing to pay the peddler a trifle more than the price of the tickets just to keep him coming to the house regularly. *Some of those fine ladies up on Van Ness avenue buy nearly all the lottery tickets there are. Some of them spend as high as $100 a month in lottery tickets. You are surprised at that? *‘Now, I don’t really believe you know what you're writing about on this lottery questicn. You talk of one company clear- ing up a quarter of a million in a few years. Do you know how much money the Little | Mexican took out of Oakland in one month ? Of course you don’t and maybe you won’t believe me when I tell you. ‘“Well, they cleared $30,000 last month in Oakland. Thatis net, mind you—not the gross receipts. And all that money goes out of the State. That's why I am in favor of the State having a lottery of its OWD, $0 as to keep the money here and let the people benefit by it.” It is well to know just what some people think about the lottery businessand get their point of view. The opinions ex- pressed by this woman, who is at hearta very good woman, is not an isolated opin- ion. Itis typical to a certain extent and it shows how great the evil is in this State and how pressing the need for a radical re- form in this direction. =But, perhaps, after all, the quickest way to cure the evil is to enlighten the public on the many lottery frauds there are in this City and the large number of counter- feit tickets in circulation. One of the worst counterfeiters in this City is J. R. Fritz, a shell-game gambler and all-round blackleg, who has a hard time fighting shy of the police. He has sold thousands of counterfeit lottery tickets in this City and will probably sell a ereat many more. He is only one ofa couple of dozen rascals who make their liv- ing in the same way. Time and again the police have arrested them. They have paid their fines and gone back to their old game of deluding susceptible men and women that are weak and foolish enough | to think they can get something for noth- ing in this world. 1t is even safer to spend a dollar in buy- OLYMPICS GET THE CUP. A Falr and Steady Pull on the Deferred Long Bridge Regatta. PROTESTS EASILY SETTLED. Trophles and Medals Given to Victors at the South End Club’s House. The junior Olympic amateur club settled the dispute over the Long Bridge regatta of two Sundays ago by winning the row- over race yesterday, and it won it fairly— by a long steady stroke and good handling of the rudder. When the controyersy over the June 2 regatta was heard a week ago Wednesday night in Judge Barry’s courtroom at the new City Hall it was understood that two at least out of the seven clubs would not go in yesterday’s pull. These were the Ariels and 8t. Marys clubs. Captain Harry Bren- nan of the Ariels had entered the protest against the Olympics claiming a foul and when the debate became heated and Judge John Elliott, representing the Olympics, | issued a direct challenge to the Ariels, ROBERT McARTHUR, Stroke Olympic Rowing Club.

YOUNG FAIR ENTERS SUIT, He Wants the Title to the Lick House Property Determined. If He Wins, the Trust Created by the Stolen Document WIill Be Broken. Charles L. Fair has presented his suit against the trust outlined by his father’s will and asks that the latter be set aside. The papers in the case were filed on Satur- day and as drawn up make Charles L. Fair the sole plaintiff, while his two sisters and James S. Angus, W. 8. Goodfellow, Louis C. Bresse and Thomas G. Crothers are defendants, The suit is practically a test case, based upon the law passed by the last Legis- lature, whereby suit may be entered to determine the right of title before it can be taken possession of by any adminis* trator or trust created by a will. If he wins it breaks the will. Young Fair has selected the Lick Hounse property as a basis for action. This he claims is Sraperty belonging to_himself and Mrs. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair, his sisters. Inasmuch as his 1wo sisters are at present absent from the State they are made defendants in the action, as their consent could not be obtained to actin con{‘nn(:tion with the plaintiff, The court is asked to_set aside the ad- verse claims of the said defendants, W. 8. Goodfellow, Thomas G. Crothers, James 8. Angus and L. C. Bresse, and that the claims of each and all of them as such trus- tees and as individuals, be determined. That all questions coneerning the valid- ity of any gift, devise or trust under any instrument purporting to be a will of | James Graham Fair, deceased, under or through which the said defendants, Good- fellow, Crothers, Angus and_Bresse claim (save such questions as under the consti- tution belong exclusively to the probate jurisdiction), be finally "adjudicated and determined in this action. That it be adjndged and decreed that the said defendants, Goodfellow, Crothers, Angus and Bresse, have not, either as in- dividuals or as_trustees, any right, title or interest in or claim to the said property. That said Goodfellow, Angus, Bresse and Crothers, and any and all persons claiming under or through them, or any or either of them, as trustees under said in- strument purporting to bea will of said James G. Fair, deceased, dated September 21, 1894, be restrained and forever enjoined from asserting or claiming any right, title or interest in or to any of the property be- lorging to the estate of said deceased, and purporting or attempted to be given, de- vised or bequeathed in trust 1n and by said instrument to said Goodfellow, Crothers, Angus and Bresse. For costs of snit and for such other fur- ther, additional or different relief as is meet in the premises and in the power of the court to grant. ————— Died From His Injuries. W. H. Carter, the longshoreman who was struck by an electric-car on Mission street, be- tween First and Sceond, Saturday evening and had his neck and skull fractured, died at the Receiving Hospital yesterday afternoon. The body was taken to the Morgue and an inquest will be held. B, R. Fraser, the motorman, sur- rendered himself st the Central police station and was booked at the City Prison on the charge of manslaughter. He was releaced on his own recognizance by Captain Deuglass. e or He Intended Suicide. _ The police authorities yesterday came into possession of two letters written by Henry Wischmeier, who tried to asphyxiate himseif in the lodging-house 12 Ellis street on Friday, which show that he expected to be arrested for forgery and intended to commit suicide to avold arrest. One letter was addressed to his wife bidding her farewell, and the other was to the Coroner stating his intention. Wischmeier was booked on two charges of forgery and when he recovers will have te answer to them. - Mason’s Fruit Jars. 1 dozen fars, pints, in box 1 dozen jars, quarts, in bo: 1 dozen jars, half gallons, in These are the prices that the Tmporting Tea Company’s stores are selling at.

Uyland promptly accepted it on behalf of the latter, which meant a mgnrute contest of oarsmanship. oncerning the St. Mary’s College Club, it insisted at the meeting that, as it_had fairly secured second place, the decision should so award it; but Referee Whidden concluded otherwise, which was rather un- | fortunate for the St. Mary’s Club, seeing that the commencement exercises at the college would stand in the way of its row- ing the race over again. Her crew, how- ever, was given the privelege of challeng- ing the winner, and may do as the Ariels— put the Olympics to a separate test. A reason of policy kept the South End crew from lining up for the feared that it would be charged w ing so manipulated the controversy as to bring about a second race, to get a chance of winning the silver cup, which its own rowing club was offering as a prize. This left only four clubs to pull the race for the junior championship, namely: Olympics, Acmes of Oakland, Pioneers and Dolphins. The start was made a little aftér 10 a. »., and was a very even one. The Dolphins had a little the best of it, butsoon the Olympics got the lead, and maintained it for the entire course—one and a half miles long with turn. It was a close struggle between the Acmesand Pioneers for second place up to the turn, for the Dolphins had soon been passed by the other three barges, but at the stake buoy the Acmes forced the nose of their boat ahead of the Pioneers, and before the finish put several boat lengths between them. The Acmes might have made a much better turn. They had the first buoy, but feared they might have the same experi- | ence as the Ariels had the last time, which was to strike mud, it being as before, an ebb tide. To the coxswain of the Pioneers a slight mishap occurred. His tiller-rope slipped from his hand for a moment, which accounted probably for the Pioneers fall- ing behind. The Olympics won by abouttwo lengths in 10:12, ‘with the Acmes second, the Pioneers a slow third and the Dolphins considerably distanced. Quite a crowd gathered on the long pier to see which of the four-oared barges would prove victorious. The crews of the contesting clubs were the same as those of two Sundays ago, except that Carroll of the Ariels acted as coxswain of the Acmes instead of Fritz Denke, and the Dolphins had a different stroke. This was made cause for protest, but not until the Acmes had gone first on record as protestants. The Acmes filed a written protest early in the morning against the Olgm ics, urging that the ten days’ ban of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association would not expire until mid- night, and should bar the Olympics from the race. Referee Whidden was of the opinion that under the rules of the association the regatta committee bad full right to decide such a contest, and Chairman Hergert and the other members of the committee promptly concluded to disallow the pro- test, on the ground that the position of i the Olympics was identically the same as it was_on May 30, when it was decided to have the regatta, and could not be affected by an ex post facto ruling of the associa- tion. The Olympics having, in retaliation, entered ufiwrotest against the Acmes, and also the Dolphins, magnanimously tith- drew its objections. The names of the Olympic and Aeme crews were: Olympic—F. A. Gorman, bow; H. B forwardwaist; J. W. Morton, afterwal ert MacArthur, stroke; T. Gilfeather, coxswain. Acme—James Kenua, bow: Frank Simpson, forwardwaist; Clarence Staples, afterwaist; J. W. Bird, stroke; J. Carroll, coxswain. The Acme crew is rather new at the business. Only two months ago Manager James Shanly got it together, and he feels proud of its success. It rowed in the l?rl:l‘s new barge—the first time in that oat. After the reg}atta, President Al J. Fritz of the South End Boat Club, under the auspices of which the regatta was rowed, presented the silver cup offered by the club to the victorious Olympics, and the second prize gold medals to the members of the Acme crew. The Mitchell trophy was also presented to the South End Club for its victory in the senior championship race, and the medals won by the Pioneers, who were second in that pull, were also given to this crew. The Stockton Club has invited the clubs of this City and Oakland to participate in the Fourth of July regatta there, which will consist of a senior barge race, a junior barge race and a single-oared sculling race. For the sculling race the South Ends will Brubablv enter their champion stroke, rank Duplissea, and it is expected Frank Butler, the Stockton stroke, will represent his club. The South Ends will lend to the Olympics junior crew a barge, and if the Acmes can secure a barge they will also go into the junior race. The Stockton Club has remémbered the South End Club's hospitality by fitting resolutions. There will be a Venetian carnival on McLeod’s Lake on the evening of the Fourth. The success of the Lonz Bridge regatta has been due to the efforts of Messrs. Fritz, Whidden, Hergert, Mitchell, Will Humphrey, John McCarthy and other local aquatic enthusiasts. o BOOKS BoUND.—Reasonable, rapid, reliable Binding dep’t.
