Mr. Fisk has been prominently men- tioned as-& successor to William F. Wynn as Congressman from the Fifth District. His friends have begged him declare himself a candidate.in order they might begin working in his behalf at this early day. Mr. Figk is a Harvard graduate and i a lawyer by profession. - He is mar ried and has two children. 1 understood that name would be presented to the President,” said Mr. Fisk last evening, “but until my eppointment s confirmed I can say nothing for publication.

My friends geem to believe that I will be selected for the important position. I trust their belief i= founded on fact.” Postmaster Montague was reticent about discussing the matter. He ad- mitted that he had resigned and sald he did so because of ill health. “How long ago did you resign, Montague?” he was asked. Some time ago,” he replied “Does the resignation take effect im- mediately or on the first of the year?” “That I don't know. It is in the hands of the President.” 3 > atte th name Mr. ————————— Better keep the devil outside than arive him out of the house. POSTUM CEREAL. “JUST RUN ACROSS” Some People Are Lucky. Some people make an intelligent study of food and get on the right track (pure food), others are lucky enough to stumble upor the. right way out of the difficulty, just as a Philadel- phia young woman did. She says: “I had suffered terribly from nervous indigestion, everything seemed to disagree with me and 1 was on the point of starvation when one day I happened to run across a demon- stration of Postum Food Coffee at one of the big stores here. “I took s sample of Grape-Nuts as well lflnlflflz me perfectly. gy and a sample there tried they agreed 1 made as _result everything 1 hysician sbout at to | politidal _circles over “the | was t9 be Postmaster Iris | he ‘took the floor to | 5 His 'was an addgess upon “The Purpose of | former perfect | sired results.

The feature of the afternoon a State Board of Charities and Correc- tions,”. by Almont W. Gates, the secre- tary of. the California State Board of Charitiés. : Before the speaker was presented to the clubwomen Mrs. George Law Smith ontgeneraled | announced that a bt of very important | fiews had arrived from Washington and | | that Mrs. A. D. Sharon would impart it to-the club. Thereupon Mrs. Sharon, { who is chairman of the standing com- mittee on Calaveras Big Trees, read a letter from Congressman N. J. Gil- | lette;-to whose custody the Calaveras | Big Trees bill has-been intrusted by the | California Club. The letter conveyed the very weicome information that on | November 17 the Calaveras Big Trees bill, carrying an appropriation of $250,- | 090, had been read and placed on file in | the lower house, and °‘that circum- stances indicated a prompt and favor- able_report upon the same. This infor- mation was received with the greatest | enthusiasm by the club—the vigllant | mother of the bill—and Mrs. Sharon re- | ceived many expressions ‘of apprecia- | tion angd to seek oit and stamp out long years in behalf of the bill that has just started forth upon its career for a second time. E After the applauge attending thean- nouncernent had died away Mr. Gates was presented by Mrs. George Law Smith. - He reviewed the classes of people that the board of charities had to deal with—the defective, the delinquent, the dependent and the depr: —and made the statement that the’province of the board was not to manage the various institutions provided for these charges, but to supervise their management, to gather such knowledge and data as wiil asseist in their intelligent administra- tion and to seek out and stamp out abuses wherever they are found to exist. Mr. Gates made the anpouncement that over 50 per cent of the men be- hind prigon bars to-day are under 25 years of age, and that an overwhelm- ing percentage of- these received their education from the streets. He made an eloguent appeal to club women and to all who are interested in the subject of good ¢itizenship to urge the enforce- ment of boys and girls into schools, where they will at least glean the fundamental principles of right living and “get started right” during the for- mative period of their characters. The system of short terms for crimi- nals—those who return more or less regularly to the prisoners’ dock—was vigorously condemned. “Put them away,” says Mr. Gates, “on an indeter- minate sentence and if there's any reformation in them the hope\to be- come high-class men; who will gain their liberty soonest, will bring about the de- then lock them up forever, for they are in- corrigible menaces to society and should be put where they can do no further harm. And this course, though apparently harsh, is the only sane one WASON RCHE L05ES LIGENE i | | Roulette Table Found on + the Premises by % the Police. scene of hagtilitles betseen | Ely and E. H. Forst, partners Maison Riche, was transferred | chambers of the Police Com- | missioners last night. A costly rou- | lette table found by police officers in | | the place was made the instrument | | by which Ely.was shorn of power and | | Forst walked forth a victor, The liquor licénse of the place was re- voked and’the patrons, for a week at least, must dine according to the tem- | perance code until Forst can secure | a new license in his own name to the | exclusion of Ely. o | Sergeant of Police Hans H. Chris- tiansen, Policemen Thomas Larkin and Edward Mills testified to having visited the place with a search war- rant on November 7 and to finding a suite of rooms occupled by gamblers and fitted up with gambling para- pierpalia, including the roulette ta- ble. Ely, who admitted the officers to the rooms, said that he was not aware of the -presence of games of chance until a couple of days before the raid 2nd said that he had ordered thelr re- moval when the police swooped down upon” him. Forst admitted that he had given tne information on which the raid was made and stated as a reason that he proposed to conduct the place as a restaurant and not as a gambling €en. When reminded that the revo- cution of the license woyld affect hiri ag a”half owner he replied that he considered it was his duty to prevent violations of the law and to tell the truth, regardless of what Ely, his partner, did. g The Commissioners, after belng sat- izfled that Ely was a party to the gambling scheme, revoked the license of the place, but gave Forst, whom they considered acting in good faith, privilege to apply for its renewal in Lis own name at the next meeting. Forst became,a partner of the Mai- £on Riche on June 11 of the present | The | Ralph | in the {to the year. He secured_ 2500 shdres of stock for which he paid $5000. Re- cently he commenced several suits against his partner, Bly, claimiug that the latter was robbing him and not dividing a just share of the proft its. At the session last night the atter- ney-for Ely intimated that something sinister lay behind the charges, but Chief of Police Wittman quickly re- plied that they were brought with a view of opstructing any attempt to violate the ordinance against gam- bling. el s When paying your gas bill did you ever stop-to inquire the cost of a gas range?
