Alired Bell, a barber, way arrested last night by Policeman G. A. Anderson on a warrant sworn to by L. Staynaro, charg- ing bim with misdemeanor embezzlement. The offense commiited by the offending barber, as allezed by Staynaro, was an overcharge cf 50 cents on & halr-cut. Bell claims that the man who caused his arrest came into his shop a few days ago and after taking a seat in the chair informed bimthat he wanted a hair-cut, a hair- singe, a shampoo and a shave. Hisorders were followed as closely as possible and he was charged 65 cents. The mar imme- diately objected to paying 65 cents, and offered 1o pay 15 cents, but the barber insisted on having the full price for his labor. Staynaro finally paid the bill and immediately went to the City Hall and swore out a warrant for the ar- rest of the barber. Bell says that he will have Staynaro ar- Tested on a charge of perjury as soon as he is released. e Charged With Barglary. Michael Rossi, a bootblack, was booked at the City Prison last night by Detectives Reynolds and Wren on the charge of burglary. For some time past articles of clothing and cutlery had been disappear- ing from boxes and trunks in the baggrage- room of the American Exchange Hotel, and at last suspicion fell upon Rossi. Rey- nolds and Wren found that he lived on Third and Clementina streets, and several :l:e‘hc missing articles were discovered T8, , e, L HIS LORDSHIP MUST PAY, A Justicg Court Judgment Ob- taized Against J, Talbot Clifton, HIS ARTISTIC SENSE SHOCKED. Andirons and a Fender That Were Ordered and Not Paid For by the Nobleman. Lord Sholto Douglas ignot the.only scion of the English nobility who holds the dis- tinction of having been summoned before the courts to explain why he does not pay claims against him, for J. Talbot Clifton, erstwhile patron of the turf and leader of the sporty Four Hundred, has joined the ranks of those who writhe under the hound- ings of plebeian plumbers,tailors and attor- neys who want their money. 3 J. Talbot is nothing if not particular in the things which go to make up the rou- tine of daily life, and the lack of harmony 1n the color of a portiere and the furniture of a room is as serious a shock to hisnerves as the loss of s favorite dog is to the average man. This delicate sense of the beauty in art was the indirect cause of his being sued because of his neglect to pay a bill for one pair of andirons and ore fender. One cold day in November last his lord- ship was reclining in an easy chair in front of the grate in hisleased apartments, when suddenly his eyes dilated as they saw the paraphernalia of the heat-giving fireplace . Heavens! they were entirely out of keep- ing with the fittings of the mantel and with the costly furniture of the room. Such a discord of color and design could not be tolerated for a moment. With the perspiration standing out on hisnoble brow and hands that opened and shut conval- sively he sprang madly for the bellrope to summon his valet. The violent Liuglingol the bell convinced that worthy that nothing less important than a case of life and death had agitated his master, and he flew to the rescue with goods usually labeled “handle with care’ in either hand. His lordship’s look of distress, as he gazed at the offending fender and irons alarmed the menial, and he was about to run for a physician when J. Talbot recov- ered his speech, and in a weak and sepul- chral voice said: “Take ’em away.” The valet was some time in learning the cause of his lordship’s anger, his own_ar- tistic sense not having been developed in the upper tendom, but he finally un- derstood, and hurried for a tradesman to remedy the matter. His steps led him to the establishment of Bush & Mallet, on Post street, where he straightway ordered the most expensive fender and set of and- irons in the place, and sent the firm’s de- livery wagon on the gallop to install them, lest his lordship should havea hemorrhage through taking a second glance at the grate, His fears were ungrounded, for J. Talbot had teken flight, and the valet soon had the new appiiances in place and a roaring fire burning. He was congratulating him- seli that all danger was past when his master returned, and casting one wither- ing glance at his servant kicked the fender into the fire, declaring that the valet had no more taste than ‘‘the beastly landlordy you know.” The new articles were no more appropriate, though far more costly, than the ones they bad superseded. , The firm that furnished the goods re- fused to take them back, claiming that the fire and the kick from the aristocratic foot had made them unsalable except as scrap metal. J. Talbot demurred about footing the bill, eagerly as he had footed | the fender. Then the firm decided not to | daily with his lordship, but placed the | matter in the hands of one J.S. Reed, | vulgarly known as a collector of bad debts, and the latter broughit suit in the Justice | Courts for $75, the value of the articles. Though served with a summons J. Talbot disdained to put in a defense, and Justice Kerrigan when the case came up yester- day promptly gave judgment for $75 prin- cipal, §1 10 interest and $6 50 costs. Unless the judgment is settled soon an execution againstgome of the noble scion’s property will be issued. s A GOOD-ROADS MEETIKG, Invitations Sent to AIl Inter- ested Local Organiza- tions. The Proposed Mass-Meeting Heartily Approved—Some Novel Indi- vidual Ideas. The highway improvement committee, L. A. W., that bas taken the initiative to- ward booming the prospective visit of the State Bureau of Highways, sent, out invi- tations yesterday to all the important or- ganizations of the City, asking them to send a delezate to the preliminary meet- ing to be heid on the 13th when plans for 2 good-roads campaign will be discussed. Irquiry among many of the organiza- tions shows that there is a unanimeus and hearty desire to co-operate in any scheme that aims to obtain first-class pavements, The ideas of some of thosé in authority in their respective organizations are given below. e Charles Dondero, secretary of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, embracing sixiy- five firms: For & State with the wealth and resourcee of California we are behind other States in our public works. Particularly dol think that the main highways should be well established. We shouid have the arteries of travel between the centers of business and populaton in good condition. Look at the substantial highways they have in Europe. They are the result of long experionics and u realjsetion of what pe.ys. 1 believe that the amount !!f money lavished g;n ulu‘r City strees does not begin to show good sults. _Tne youth and vigor and public spirit of the City ought to be able to secure for San Fran- ¢lsco & systein of stceets that would attract the 1svorable uotice of every visitor. J. F. Kreud, secretary of -the Merchants’ lon, 4n organization of over 1400 ‘he necessity for good roads is more IT- parent in this City than uu{wkere else, 1t is sald that, with few exceptions, the county of San Francisco has the worst roads in the Siate. The good-roads movement wiil receive its greaiest impelus when the wheelmen take boid in earnest, and everything should be done to encourage such aciton. ) understand that there are 30,000 wheelmen in this City. 1t they could get together for & general ex- pression of opinion the force of such an opin- 101 would be practically irresistibie. Dr. T. A, Rottanzi, chairman of the South Side lmprovement clubs, with a combined membership of 2000, said : With the knowledge of what was gained by popular discussion for the pavement of Folsom Sireet it1s not too much to expect some very large and materiel rosults from the big mass- meeting to be held here when the Bureau of Highways pars this County a visit. k ne b.eyele people, neturslly an active, wide-zwake class of cilizens, can exert & pow- erful influence if they go about it in the right wng By very iorce nuwpers their moral influence would be a big factor in any cause. William G. Layng, editor of the Breeder and Sportsmau, speaking for the FPacific Ooast Trotting-horse Breeders’ Associa- tion: thautsuod thoroughfares there is no in- centive to drive good horses. Some people sty the bicyclists are destroying the interests in horses, The bicyelists are de- veloping a feeling in favor of opses and for road riding. Mr. Brunning of the San Francisco Bicycle-dealers’ Protective Association: What we want in this City is for all sections to combine for once to perfect one main thor- oughfare from water to water. Murket street should be paved first and then there would be a starting place for the different boulevards. It wou'd pay every merchant on Market streat to chip in and help out on the ‘proposition. g With one conspicuous model street it would only be a matter of time before the streets branching from it would be aimilarly per- fected. Such was'the experience in Chicago. C. F. Grunsky, ex-president of the Technical Society of the Pacific, member- ship 200: The pyrpose of the engineer really is to make the best possible use of materials available. San Francisco is expending annually nearly $2,000,000 in road and sewer construction, and_ four-fifths of that amount is spent on roads. With such & -sum we ought to get the very best pavements and large areas of them every year. Z. U. Dodge, attorney for the Van Ness Avenue Improvement Club: The first thing that a stranger notices is the condition of the streets. Any one that has been to Paris remarks upon the beautiful boulevards. But it took long experience to perfect them. Here public and concerted action is lacking, and it will require-a good hooming of the proposition of first-class pavements to awaken the people generally to a realization that money spent for permanent improvements is always well invested, % —_—_— THE BOUNDING BILLOW, Another of the Old-Time Whalers Is to Be Sold and Broken Up. WAS A BONANZA IN HER TIME, Boat-Steerers Paid Premiums to Secure a Berth When She‘ Was Fitting Out. The old whaler Bounding Billow that for forty-two years has braved ‘‘the stormy winds that blow” has probably made her last voyage. Sl'e is now being dismantled in Oakland Creek ‘and as soon as everything that can be taken out of her has been removed the bulk will be sold to the highest bidder. It will then be taken to California City and burned in order to save the copper and iron. Thue o!d vessel will make.a great bonfire as Ler timbers are soaked with oil from the thousands of whales taken in the frozen Arctic and the Southern Seas. With lientenant was instructed to remain in charge. Captain Kane has been a very sick man with malaria, but his relatives say that he will be about again in a few days, but will not be oh sea duty until he receives his appointment as commodore. The German bark H. Hackfeld, which arrived from Honolulu yesterday, had a catastrophe during the voyage. On Janu- ary 25 last, when almost in sight of land, Frederick Druckbammer, a lad aged 17 years, fell from aloft and was drowned. In his fall from the royal yard he struck the rail and sank at once. The Hackfeld spoke the sealing schooner Penelope with a catch of twenty-five seals. The steamer Corona of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s line will succeed the Pomona on the Eureka run this week. The Mexico will be put on the southern route and. the Pomona wil! be laid up for Tepairs, 4 The City of Everett, since her with- drawal from the Panama route, has been chartered by the Dunsmuirs and will in future carry coal from Nanaimo, B, C. The following notice to mariners has been issued by the Lighthouse inspectors: “The Noonday Roek bell buoy, which recemlg parted its moorings and went adrift, has been replaced in its old i- tion—600 yards southwest by south from the rock.” The American ship Aryan, now out seventy-six days from New York, has $25,- 000 worth of steel rails on board for the new railroad being built by Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co., between n Jose and Alviso. The company is having consid- erable difficulty in securing its right of way, and _all the blame is iaid on the Southern Pacific Railroaa Company. Con- demnation suits have been begun, but the The Old Whaling Bark Bounding Billow That Is Now Being Dismantled in Oakland Creek and Which Will Probably End Her Days in the “ Bone Yard ” at California City. [Sketched by a * Call ” staff artist.] Judge F. H. Kerrigan, chief consul of the League of American Wheelmen: The secretary of the National Farmers' Con- gress submitted and estimated thatthe total annual wagon transportation in the United States is equivalent to about 500,000,000 tons, costing $2 per ton for the average haul of eight miles. Sixtg &)er cent of the cost, or a total of $600,000,000 a_year, he attributzd to the bad condition of the roads. That meant that one-quarter of each year's products was lost to the producers through the bad roads, It is economy to have good roads. A MUSICAL EVENT. Prominent Men Will Tender a Reneflt Concert to the Saturday Morning Orchestra, The Saturday Morning Orchestra has so repeatedly and successfully given its services in the cause of charity thatits many friends will learn with pleasure that anumber of prominent gentlemen in t city are desirous of tendering a benefit con. cert to the orchestra, which has so long worked for others. The following letter was recently re- cewved by Mrs. 8. 8. Wright, president of the Saturday Morning Orchestra: Mrs. S. S. Wright, President of the Saturday Morning Orchesira—DEAR MADAM: We, the nn- dersigued, are all friends and well-wishers of the Saturday Morning Orchestra, of which you have been s0 long the president, and we trust that nothing may occur 10 interfere with the icoux(_mu-mce and the prosperity of that organ- zation. It is well known how readily and willingly the young Indies composing the orchestra have responded on every oceasion for charity, and how successful the results-have been, but we realize that the concerts that the orchestra has heretofore given for charitable have involved not only a great deal of time and hard work on the part of the young ladies, but alea & considerable expenditure of money by the organization, and we, thercfore, sug- fost that & concert might be given this season or the benefit of the orchestra itself. Believing that the interest of people in San Francisco in the young ladies’ orchestra would make snch a eoncert successful, we beg leave to tender to the Saturday Morning Orchestra a benefit cancért to be given at such time and &I’Aca a& may be determined upon by your ard. We remain very respectfully, Charles Webb Howard, A, B, McCreery, F. A. Hyde, J. L, Rathbone, W, C. Little, William Alvord, William Thomas, Edward’ J. McCuteheon, Winfleld §. Jones, Edward Bosquf, H. P. Tevis, George W. McNear, Pelars W. Ames. To this Mrs, Wright has replied, on behalf of the young ladies: To Charles Webb Howard and others—GENTLE- MEN: The lv;mmg ladies of the Eaturaay Morning Orchestra desire me to say that they accept with much pleasure and many thanks your kind courtesy, and they respectfully suggest Mondsy evening, February 17 and the Metropolitan Temple asa desirabie time and place for the benefit concert so cordially ten- dered. Ihave the honor, gentlemen, to be yours, very respectfully, JOANNA MAYNARD WRIGHT, President of the Saturday Morning Orchestra, There is no doubt that the concert will prove a brilliant society évent, for the many friends of the orchestra will be eager to have an opportunity of testifying their appreciation of all that the young musicians have accomplished in the cause of charity. ‘A Puplls’ Conte The Evening Post offers to the pupils of Cali- fornia (he most valuable list of premiums ever given in a voting contest. To the pupils who receive the most votes there will be given the following desirable premiums: The' choice be- tween a trip to Europe with all expensespaid and $100 in cash and a four years' course at Stanford University, including room and board; four years' courses, including room and board, at Bt.

Steam is now driving the “wind jammers'’ out of the whaling busi- ness and in a few years there will not be a sailing vessel clearing for Point Barrow. Old-time captains who cannot zet anybody to fit out a whaler for a cruise say the busi- ness is played out, but the successes of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company tell a diiferent story. In her time the Bounding Billow has probably brought more ‘“‘oil and bone” into this port than any other whaler of the old class. She was almost invariably successful and many a time boat-sreerers have paid a bonus to get a chance to ship. The last time she went out was in 1892. She brought back 700 barrels of oil and 7000 pounds of whalebone, but this did not ay expenses, and as the agents, Wright, owne & Co., about that time got into difficulties the vessel was laid up in Oak- lend Creek. When she was fitted out for her last cruise about $3000 was spent on her outfit, and it is this sum the receiver of the Wright, Bowne & Co. estate is try- in{ to recover. 'he bgnL running gear, canned goods, equipment, such as oars, rowlocks, rope, harpoons, etc., have been sold to vessels now fitting out, and the Andrew Hicks will take some of them with her when she sails in a few days. This has raised a row between the owners and the ship-chand- lers. The latter say that the sale of these goods is injuring ‘their business, but the receiver says: *'I am doing the best [ can by the estate of Wright, Bowne & Co. and if you don’t like ltgou can lump it By the sale of the Bounding Billow 1n this way it is expected that quite a large sum will be secured. Had she been sold as a whaler, fully equipped, the chances are that she would not have brought more than $2500, but with all her equipment gone the chances are that she will bring that sum at auction this week. Her masts, spars, sound timber and old iron and copper will well repay the purchaser. The Bounding Biilow was built at Chel- sea, Mass., in 1854. She is 240 tons gross burden, 119 feet long, 27 feet 5 inches broad, 12 feet 2 inches deep, and was origi. nally owned by J. & W. R. Wing of New Bedford. About two months ago there was & prospect of fitting ber out for an- other cruise, but the necessary moner ell could not be raised, so the scheme f through. numnibered. —— ALONG THE FRONT. The New Rallroad and Steamship Line Between San Jose and Alviso Being Blocked. Captain Redstone of the navy-vard tug Unadilia had a rather unfortunate experi- ence on his initial run to San Francisco irom Mare Island. The trip was made in the fast time of two hours and five min- utes, but the captain was tooeager to dock and make a record and thus got into trouble. The tide was against him, and before stern way could be got on the tug she went crashing into Washington-street whart, carried away a number of the piles and did other -damage to the superstruc- ture. The steamer’s starboard bow was damaged and the new paint was scraped off in a number o!l}:luon. The Unadiila will be used asa towboat to bring the cruisers to and from the navy- yard, a transport to carry marines and sailors to and fror>- San Francisco and a freightboat to carry supplies to Mare Island, She is a very handsome craft— and fast. In fact, she is far better than her builders calculated upon, A full de- seription of her was given in T Ciry two months ago, Before docking at Wash- ington-street wharf the Unadilla went to the coast-defense steamer Monterey with orders for Lieutenant-Commander Wad- hams, who is temporarily in command. Capiain Kane is away on sick leave and was to have reported for duty yesterday, but s he i3 not yet able to be about the Now the old bark's days are cases are being blocked in the courtsand Messrs. Pryor and Goodall are gettin, tired of going to San Jose only to find thai a continuance has been granted. Both of the gentlemen returned from a trip over the proposed road yesterday and said that all the arrangementswere per- fected except for the terminus at Alviso, They have, however, arranged for lots ad- joining tne ones in dispute, and on them the rails will be stored as soon as they ar- rive. At Alviso, Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co. will connect with the railroad by steamer and freightbozats, and in this way save a large sum yearly to the farmers in Santa Ciara Valley. The Southern Pacific is blocking them at every step, however, and the chances are that there will b€ con- sidelrndbla litigation before the matter is settled. MRS. FURY ALSO BLAMED, Coroner’s Inquiry Into the Sunny- iside - Fatality of Monday. The Verdict Charged Both the Railroad and the Dead Woman With Negligence. The verdict of the Coroner’s jury at the inquest beld yesterday by Dr. Hawkins to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs, Ellen Fury, the Sunnyside dairywoman who was run over by the 8:15 A. M. San Jose and San Luis Obispo train No. 5 of the Bouthern Pacific last Monday, blamed both the dead woman and the railroad company. Itread: We find that the cause of death was acei- dental but due to negligence on the part of both-parties. The railroad was well represented by the emfiloyea on the train, and the statements of Engineer D. B. Fifield, Fireman Robert R. Clement, Brakeman E. L. Gerst, Can- ductor F, D. Eaton and Baggage-master A.J. Dale were corroborated by Train Dispatcher E. A. Steininger as to the speed of the train, and by Brakeman A. . Tesche as to the constant sounding of the automatic beil. The rate of speed at which the train was said to be going was eight miles an hour. Orders to go at that speed, the train- dispatcher said, had been given because it was feared the condition of the track was d and possibly dangerous efter the storm, Engineer Fifield said he blew the danger whistle as soon as he saw the woman and her cows on the track, which was when the frain was oniy about ‘seventy-five feet away. rhe track is straight there and a person could see a train almost as far dis- tant from Sunnyside as Bernal. One of Mrs. Fury’s cows was on the track and she got it off, but in doing so the woman her- self was struck. The engineer said he stopped the gnin as sucdenly as he could, e woman was not on the track when the engineer first saw her, but the cow was, and he explained that he slacked up in an- ticipation of the woman’s pessibly trying to cross the track. . All the railroad men said it was the cus- tom for the automatic bell to be kept sounding ail the way from Valencia street to Ocean View. This vas controverted by Mrs. Annie Ewell and' her little daughter, Kssie, who live a short distance from the | scene of the accident, and who were eye- witnesses.: They did not hear the bell ringing, they said, and Mrs. Ewell thought the train was running as fast as the Mon- terey flyer. Little Essie had made an effort to help Mrs. Fury when she saw the woman’s danger, From what the eight-year-old Essie said it appeared that Mrs. 'y was more in- terested in preventing any accident to the train than in the saving of her own cow, and that she was trying to get_thecow off the track to preveut any probable ditching of the train, By the irony of circum- stances the woman lost ber own life, 7 HEALY'S HOSTILE HISS, Aun Animated Little Scene Be- tween the Captain and Daniels. AFTER THE BALL WAS OVER. —— Failure of the 0ld Commander’s Effort | to Sustain the Role of Peacemaker, “Captain Healy is hissing through his teeth at me,” exclaimed Lieutenant Daniels at yesterday’s session of the Healy inves- tigation. “No, I am not, sir,” retorted the captain hotly. “I can’t stand this thing any longer,” pleaded the usually gay and debonair young lieutenant in piteous tones. 5 The captain emitted a vague, rumbling sound, which forcibly reminded the by- standers of *‘curses not loud, but deep.” “Listen to him, listen to him,” vocifer- ated Mr. Daniels, in great excitement. “He means that I'm lying.” The surrounding officials, however, were unable to translate the captain’s rum- blings, which most of them did not hear at all, and Lieutenant Reynolds ordered the much perturbed Daniels to continue his testimony as to his superior's alleged misbehavior on the high seas. “On the 5th, 6th and 7th of June,” pro- ceeded Mr. Daniels, glancing apprehen- sively at his commander, who glared fero- ciously in return, *'the captain was more or less under the influence of liquor. We were then in the vicinity of Chierkoff Island, on the way from Sitka to Unal-| aska. Ido not mean that the captain was intoxicated to the point of insensibility during the entire three days’ time; but he drank a great deal. On the 6uh he made a brutal and unprovoked attack upon two of the wardroom boys while he was intoxi- cated, and on the following day, at 3 o’clock in the morning, he was drunk again.” F. Sumi, one of the boys said to have been assaulted by the captain, then gave his testimony through a Japanese inter- preter, He said the captain had never been unkind to him and denied that he had been ili used by the old commander. Captain Healy had treated him like a father, and had even gone so far as to get one of the passengers—a gentleman named Hamilton—to give him lessons in English. In response to an incisive question by one of the captain’s attorneys the boy said that Daniels had tried to influence his tes- timony by promising him that he should have the'place of cabin-boy to the new captain, whereat Daniels moved uneasily in his chair and the judge-advocate raised his eyebrows as though he had just re- ceived an interesting piece of information. T. Ohno, the other Japanese boy, cor- roborated his companion’s testimony as to the captain’s unyarying kindness and de- sire to have the witness take lessons in English, Chief Engineer Coffin of the Bear was next called upon to testify. He recollected seeing Captain Healy take a drink now and then, but had never seen him intoxi- cated. He denied specifically that the captain was drunk at any time during the three days mentioned by Lieutenant Daniels. He also gave an account of a lit- tle difficulty at Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, on the 28th of June, on which occa- sion Daniels bhad testified that Captain Healy’s demegnor was, to say the least, eccentric. The employes of the Alaska Commer- cial Company, shortly after the Bear's ar- rival, gave a ball in "the company’s build- ing to which the officers of the Bear and of the Rush were invited. No notice was given the Bear’s officers that the ball was to be a recherche affair, and they attended in whatever attire seemed most comforta- ble to each. On arriving at the scene of revelry they found to their dismay that the oificers of the Rush were brilliantly arrayed in all the splendors of full dress. Believing themselves Lo have been griey- ously slighted, the Bear’s officers returned to the cutter in great indignation, and on arriving thither unbosomed themselves to Captain Healy. Captain Healy, Coffin went on 1o relate, was much- incensed at the manner in which his subordinates had been snubbed, and, on theevening of the 28th of June,sum- moned Mr. Gray, an agent of the Alaska Commercial Company, aboard the cutter, and in the presence of the officers asked him for a explanation. Gray asked what complaint bad been made.” The captain ordered the officers to state their grounds of grievance. To his great surprise and in- tense disgust Lieutenants Dorry, Emery and Daniels, who had been loudest in their complaints on_the night of the ball, refused to say anything. Seei:fi the ridicu- lous position m which their silence placed him, by making him appear desirous of stirring up strife without reason, Captain Healy became very angry and retired from the cabin, The witness was certain that the captain was not intoxicated at the time, though he was much irritated and complained bitterly that his men had tried to make a fool of him. First Lientenant Buhner, next in com- mand after the captain, and at present in charge of the Bear, testified that he had been with Qaptain Healy for five years, and had never seen bim drunk at sea. He corroborated Coftin's story of the “after the ball” episode at Unalaska and denied that the captain was intoxicated at the time. Being asked when he considered a man drunk, Mr, Bubner answered: “When, l)y reason of drinking to ex- cess, his physical or mental faculities are impaired.” ‘‘And Captain Healy's faculties were not ——————————————————— jovs oATARRH 3 JOy’s Is being cured byDr. McKenzie's JOY’S tox'uliows a tresimiont eeo of aii JOy’s Chl‘f’g:fx'm suffering from the JOY’s JOY’S effects of a bad cold, caught during the recent storm, or if your Catarrhal trouble threat- ens to become chronic, you should !i{- DR.

Postal Laws Apparently Violated by a San Jose Bicyele Agent. The postal authorities are considering the advisability of prosecuting Lew C. Black of 82 South Second street, San Jose, agent for a bicycle company. for having sent a dunning letter to H. H. Jones of room 5, Custom-house, upon the envelope of which had been printed, 1n red type, diagonally across the face of it, ‘‘Collection Department.” The contents of the letter demanded a remittance of $3, which Jones says he does not owe, although he bas been frequently dunned. Section 332 of the postal laws makes an offense of the kind punishable by a fine of $5000° or imprisonment for five years, or both, as the maximum penalty. The word- ing of it covering the case in question is substantially: “Any matter impressed upon the envelope calculated by the terms or manner or style of display and ob- viously intended to reflect injuriously upon the character or conduct of another.” ————— _ Golden Gate Patk Musio, The following attractive programme has been prevared for the open-air concert in Golden Gate Park to-day: “Commercial March” Overture, “La Gaza 1 Selection, “Les Cloches de “Chrysanthemum Waltz" Ballet m “The Templars".

In the filling of prescriptions the average person 15 in the dark os to the cost and the contents of the medicine, consequently has to rely on the honesty and reliability of the Druggist who dispenses the drugs. The majority of the Druggists of San Francisco pay a cominission of 25 to 50 per cent ta the physicians who send their prescriptions to them. “This belng the case, how can the “Com- mission Druggist” be honest? For instance, a physician writes a prescription for one bottle Lis- terine, regular price 75¢ bottle (actual wholesale cost B6c). On this the Commission Druggist “divies” with the physician 25 or 50 per cent. To a person on the outside it 100ks as if the Druggist was out and injured. BUT HE IS NOT. He jost substitutes a vile imiiation of Listerine costing 50¢ per gallon. There are, on the other hand, & re- Spectable class of physiclans—and they are nu- ‘merous—who will not accept commission from any Druggist. This element of the profession we cater t0and have thelr entire confidence, as they know we take no liberties with their prescriptions, filling all prescriptions exactly as ordered and pay no commission to any dociors. The confdenge in us held by the public of San Francisco is proven by the fact that we dispensed over 80,000 prescriptions in 1895, a larger number than dispensed by any store in the State.
