THAT SHADY PROPOSITION. How Brewer Conrad Gave the Los Angeles Police Commission the "Double Cross." Mayor Eaton and the Los Angeles Police Commission have been making it warm for F. Conrad, the West Anaheim brewer, whose duplicity in the matter of procuring saloon licenses has just been subjected to exposure. Two years ago Conrad's deadfall at the corner of First and Los Angeles streets, in that city, was the scene of so much crime that his license for conducting the place was revoked. But when the license was issued to one Bickle, (Conrad's employee) people on the inside saw at once how the shrewd manipulator had tricked the people of the Angelic burg. Recently Bickle sought to transfer the license to the Los Angeles brewing company, when Conrad appeared on the scene and asked that Bickel's license be transferred to him. The Los Angeles Times on Thursday contains the following reference to the matter: SALOON LICENSE ROW. The first item of business brought to the attention of the board was the request of Albert H. Sliebitz for a transfer of the saloon license at the northeast corner of First and Los Angeles streets, and a like request from Frank Rodriguez for a transfer of the license at the southeast corner of Seventh and Spring streets. Both licences are now held in the name of Henry Bickle. The applicants have been in the employ of the Los Angeles Brewing company for nearly two years. Subsequent to the filing of these petitions, F. Conrad, a brewer of Anaheim, filed a protest against the proposed transfer. The communication stated that when the licenses were issued to Bickel there was a distinct understanding and agreement that on demand the licenses were to be transferred to Conrad; that as a matter of fact the licenses were issued at the instance and request of the Anaheim brewer; and that Bickel had refused to consent to the transfer, and was preparing to turn the licenses over to parties connected with the Los Angeles Brewing company. Shortly after this protest had been filed, Bickel sent of the Police Commission, and asked that the commission revoke both licenses. McKelvey of Santa Ana spoke on behalf of F. Conrad, asserting that there was no reason why the attorney of the Los Angeles Brewing company should inject himself into the matter as long as the applications for transfer to the men in the employ of that company had been withdrawn. He told the commission that it was the intention of Mr. Conrad to conduct an orderly place in full compliance with the law, and that in view of the agreement between Conrad and Bickel he thought the licenses should be at once transferred to Conrad. McFarland made the point that the Police Commission had at one time revoked the license at First and Los Angeles streets, while held by F. Conrad. This point was investigated, and it was found that Conrad's license had been revoked at the very saloon for which he now seeks to obtain a license. The license was revoked on January 4, 1898. A petition for a re-hearing was denied on January 11 following, and the license was granted to Henry Bickel February 15, 1898. The Mayor said that the whole thing looked like a "shady proposition," and in view of the facts elicited, the commission refused to grant the transfer from Bickel to Conrad. McFarland wanted to know why the commission did not revoke the license. The Mayor replied that there was nothing before the commission to warrant such action, but that if charges were preferred against Bickel the matter would be considered. The attorney said that he would prepare charges, and lay them before the commission at its next meeting. It is barely possible that the Los Angeles Brewing company has played a very neat game in connection with the matter. None of the parties deny that there was an understanding between Bickel and Conrad, and that an agreement was entered into between them. This agreement stood in the way of having the licenses transferred from Bickel to the Los Angeles Brewing company. Now that the commission has refused to grant the transfer to Conrad and Bickel has done what he could to fulfill his agreement it is doubtful if the law would hold him to the terms of that agreement, and he would thus be able to transfer the licenses to the Los Angeles Brewing company and reap the offered reward. Herr Kuhnrich of the Los Angeles brewery, accompanied by two other Subsequent to the filing of these petitions, F. Conrad, a brewer of Anaheim, filed a protest against the proposed transfer. The communication stated that when the licenses were issued to Bickel there was a distinct understanding and agreement that on demand the licenses were to be transferred to Conrad; that as a matter of fact the licenses were issued at the instance and request of the Anaheim brewer; and that Bickel had refused to consent to the transfer, and was preparing to turn the licenses over to parties connected with the Los Angeles Brewing company. Shortly after this protest had been filed, Bickel sent in a communication withdrawing his request to have the licenses transferred to the parties connected with the Los Angeles Brewing company, and asking that they be transferred to F. Conrad, in accordance with the original intention. At the meeting of the board last week the requests for transfers from Bickel to Rodriguez and Sliebitz were referred to the Chief for investigation. The report of Detective Paul Flammer was yesterday read as follows: "I have investigated the two applications for a transfer of the two saloon licenses, one at the northwest corner of First and Los Angeles streets, and one on the southeast corner of Seventh and Spring streets. Both are held in the name of H. Bickel. "From my investigation it would appear that the two applicants are the ones least interested in the transaction. It seems clear from Bickel's own statement that these licenses were in his name, not for the purpose of conducting the saloons himself, but in the interest of F. Conrad, the Anaheim brewer, by whom he was employed. He said that the Los Angeles Brewing company had offered him $1000 for the two licenses, and a salary of $75 per month to work for them. Conrad objects to this, saying Bickel had these licenses in his name, under the condition that he should not transfer them to any one without his consent. "U. M. Barron, now running the saloon at First and Los Angeles streets, says he knew of no new arrangements and that something was wrong, showing a bill of sale for the good will, fixtures and stock in the saloon, for which he had paid $300 to William Stiern, the former proprietor, about one week ago. He claimed he did not know Sliebitz, the applicant. "M. Miller, who conducts the saloon at Seventh and Spring street, says he bought the place from Conrad; and agreed to take beer from him, and had no knowledge of any contemplated change. He has paid for the place, and considers himself the proprietor. Mr. Kuehnrich of the Los Angeles Brewing company, states that the applicants are two of his employees, and would actually take possession of the saloons for a few weeks, when he expected to buy the property. "It was clear that Mr. Bickel did not have these licenses for the purpose of running these saloons himself, and did not have any proprietary interest in them, and that he expected to make these transfers without the knowledge of the parties in the saloon or Mr. Conrad." After all the various communications had been read to the board there was a lively spat between the attorneys for the rival breweries. Charles McFarland, Esq., spoke on behalf of the Los Angeles Brewing company. He asserted in no measured terms that Bickel had worked the "double-cross" racket in a very neat style, and that Bickel had committed fraud, and was twisting to hood wink the commission, and A LITTLE BIT OF A DARKY. He Told His Story Well and Reaped His Reward. He was a little bit of a darky, not much bigger than a lump of coal and not much whiter, and when I called him up to do an errand for me across the street his eyes snapped as if they were electrified. “What is your name?” I inquired. “Tank, boss,” he answered, with a bow and a grin. “That’s a queer kind of a name. Your people aren’t temperance folks. are they?” “Deed, boss, I dunno. Dey calls me Tank, but my name's Pasquotank Perquimans.” “Oh!” I laughed. “That’s name enough for two kids like you. Where do you come from?” “I see f'um Norf Ca'liny, boss.” “What are you doing so far from home?” “Doin the best I kin, boss.” He stopped a moment to study. “How much have you made today?” When I gets de 10 cents your gwinter gib me,” he said, with a shrewd little smile—I had not agreed upon a price at all—“an I gets 10 cents mo' f'um de nex' gem'man it'll make 20 cents, boss.” “是 that all? You can't live on 20 cents a day, can you?” A shadow, if a shadow could show there, came into the little black face. And with it a hard line as of determination. "I've gotter lib, boss." he said. "I can't die, for dey ain't nobody but me ter take keer ob mammy, an she might po'ly mes' ob de time." Possibly Pasquotank Perquimans was working on my sympathies and his story may have been told many a time before, but I think not, and I know that his revenue for that day was more than 20 cents—Washington Star. Famous Old Gamblers. In the latest history of gambling in England, just published, there are some astonishing revelations as to the amount of money won and lost by men and women whose names are as familiar as household words early in the present century. There are records of £200,000 having been lost at a sitting, None of the parties deny that there was an understanding between Bickel and Conrad, and that an agreement was entered into between them. This agreement stood in the way of having the licenses transferred from Bickel to the Los Angeles Brewing company. Now that the commission has refused to grant the transfer to Conrad and Bickel has done what he could to fulfill his agreement it is doubtful if the law would hold him to the terms-of that agreement, and he would thus be able to transfer the licenses to the Los Angeles Brewing company and reap the offered reward. Herr Kuhnrich of the Los Angeles brewery, accompanied by two other gentleman, presumably interested in his brewery, was in town one afternoon last week, and was in conference with Conrad for the greater part of the afternoon. The report prevailed among those who considered themselves to be informed that Kuhnrich had made an offer to buy the brewery. It is known that Conrad wants to sell out his property.

The bride's appalling Cruelty Thoughtless Bride. There is a certain Chicago boy recently decided that her husband unfeeling brute and went mother for a peculiar and unruinous mother for a peculiar and unruinous daughter in the depths of desolation and despair can well agined. "Charlie was cru-u-n-el wailed the bride of a month abouts mournfully," and so home." But what did Charlie wretch!" inquired the mother to blame the husband on geniples. To this question, how bride returned no answer save weeping. Then the mother feed the case was beyond her, admiring nerve restorative and availing bride's father. "Now, my child," began tividual, speaking with the authe one who had settled all her dawn from the time she could walk immediately what that wrere husband of yours has done and suffer for it whatever it is." The bride's ardor cooled per Her voice was almost steady yet gan her story. "Well," she commenced her eyes flashing at the remembr her wrongs. "Charlie was out last night, and I thought I end—and—say something then when he came home. I had so long as Charlie was go "It was clear that Mr. Bickel did not have these licenses for the purpose of running these saloons himself, and did not have any proprietary interest in them, and that he expected to make these transfers without the knowledge of the parties in the saloon or Mr. Conrad." After all the various communications had been read to the board there was a lively spat between the attorneys for the rival breweries. Charles McFarland, Esq., spoke on behalf of the Los Angeles Brewing company. He asserted in no measured terms that Bickel had worked the "double-cross" racket in a very neat style, and that Bickel had committed fraud, and was trying to hoodwink the commission, and make it a cat's paw to further his own ends. He said that Bickel had offered the license to the Los Angeles Brewing company, and had secured $100. After agreeing to transfer them he had been prevailed upon by Conrad to change his mind. He said that he thought the actions of Bickel were such as to demand harsh action at the hands. When life's autumn comes, women, worn out by the burdens and obligations of motherhood, yet shrink from that second "change of life" which will banish these burdens forever. They fear a change in form, in feature, in personal attractiveness, and that the lees of life will alone remain at the bottom of the cup of existence. Such fears are largely warranted by the effects which this change produces in many women. But no woman need let these fears fret her, who from the time of the first change of life, from girlhood to womanhood, has taken care to constantly keep her system in vigorous health. Those who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription do not suffer from the change of life either in face, form or feelings as do other women. This fact is due to the intimate connection of the general health with the health of the organs peculiarly feminine. By preserving the health of these organs, and relieving the system from the debilitating drains, ulcers and inflammations which sap its health, "Favorite Prescription" paves the way for this natural change to come in Nature's way, without the loss of capacity to please others or the personal inability to enjoy life. Mrs. M. Barnes, of Balls Perry, Shasta Co., Cal., writes: "My physician said I was suffering from the effects of 'change of life.' I had heart disease and womb trouble and rheumatism. My head was so dizzy I could hardly stand up. When I began Dr. Pierce's medicines I improved right along. I took seven or eight bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription,' a teaspoonful three times a day, and the 'Pleasant Pellets' at night. I feel as well as I ever did." There is no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant in "Favorite Prescription," neither does it contain opium or other narcotics. You may be willing that somebody else shall say that their baby is "just as good" as yours, but you don't want that baby substituted for yours. Let dealers say what they like about other medicines being "just as good" but don't let them substitute anything for "Favorite Prescription." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the clogged system of impurities. Possibly Pasquotank Perquimans was working on my sympathies and his story may have been told many a time before, but I think not, and I know that his revenue for that day was more than 20 cents — Washington Star. Famous Old Gamblers. In the latest history of gambling in England, just published, there are some astonishing revelations as to the amount of money won and lost by men and women whose names are as familiar as household words early in the present century. There are records of £200,000 having been lost at a sitting, and the loss of £50,000 appears to have been a very common occurrence. A gambling story is told of Charles James Fox that rather reflects on his honor. He was one of the ardent admirers of Mrs. Crewe, a noted beauty of her day, and it is related that a gentleman lost a considerable sum to this lady at play, and being obliged to leave town suddenly, gave Mr. Fox the money to pay her, begging him to apologize to her for his not having paid the debt of honor in person. Fox lost every shilling of it before morning. Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed debtor afterward, and surprised that he never noticed the circumstances, at length delicately hinted the matter to him. "Bless me!" said he. "I paid the money to Mr. Fox three months ago." Oh, did you sir?" said Mrs. Crewe good naturedly. "Then, probably, he nailed me and I forgot it." A SURE CURE FOR CROUP. Twenty-five Years' Constant Use Without a Failure. The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in a child subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such a record—twenty-five years' constant use without a failure. For sale by Derge. Saw no Dynamite. But—From the Orange Post. J. R.

CHARLIE’S INFAMY. The Brute’s Appalling Cruelty to His Thoughtless Bride. There is a certain Chicago bride who recently decided that her husband was an unfeeling brute and went home to mother for a peculiar and unusual reason. The mother was awakened just before dawn one morning last week by a sound of sobbing and weeping outside her own sleeping room door. Her horror and astonishment at discovering her only daughter in the depths of apparent resolution and despair can well be imagined. “Charlie was cru-u-n-e-l to me,” lailed the bride of a month or thereabouts mournfully. “and so I came home.” “But what did Charlie do—the stretch!” inquired the mother, ready to blame the husband on general principles. To this question, however, the bride returned no answer save bitter stepping. Then the mother, feeling that the case was beyond her, administered nerve restorative and awoke the bride’s father. “Now, my child,” began this individual, speaking with the authority of one who had settled all her difficulties from the time she could walk, “tell me immediately what that wretch of a usband of yours has done and he shall suffer for it whatever it is.” The bride’s ardor cooled perceptibly Her voice was almost steady as she began her story. “Well,” she commenced bitterly, her eyes flashing at the remembrance of her wrongs. “Charlie was out very late night, and I thought I'd get up—and—say something to him—when he came home. I had thought that so long as Charlie was going to be Two Students and a Thief. Some months ago two hungry university students in the south of Russia, coming home to their one bare room after a hard day's work for their living, caught a thief running off with their books. “Are you the fellow that stole other things yesterday?” they asked. “I am little fathers, but hunger and want drove me to it. I am starving.” “So are we, brother, or next door to it, and you ought not to have hit upon us as your victims.” “你well, your door is more easily opened; that's how it is,” was the answer. “We want those books for our examinations, brother; so you must get them back for us. But as you are cold and hungry now come in and join us in our supper. It is not much, but such as it is you are welcome. Here are 20 copecks for the beer. Run and fetch it.” And the three ate and drank together, for hospitality is a religion and charity its foundation—London Telegraph. Maryland Superstitions. There are superstitions throughout all the counties of Maryland concerning crossroads and running water. Witches are supposed to make their home at the crossing of two roads and to appear there at midnight. One peculiar thing about witches is that they cannot get across running water, and a stream of any sort always acts as a protection to the nightly prowler, who will follow along the bank of a stream in preference to the road. These are some of the things which are more generally believed in the country around Washington and along the eastern shore. Some of the articles of the creed of the superstitions in that neighborhood are: He Was No Authority. The New York Times relates anecdote concerning Mr. Howells that is good enough to be true, whether it is or not. According to report, a dispute as to the words “lunch” and “lunch-on” recently arose between Mr. and Mrs. Howells. Mr. Howells championed “lunch” as the proper term, while his wife defended “luncheon.” At last, at Mr. Howells' suggestion, they appealed to the Century Dictionary to settle the question. “Well, I was right, after all!” he exclaimed in triumph, and he read aloud the following extract quoted as showing correct usage: “We lunched fairly upon little dishes of rose leaves delicately preserved.” “From what author is that sentence taken!” inquired Mrs. Howells. “Why I declare, from W. D. Howells!” “Pshaw!” was the retort. “He's no authority.” Curious Bird Habits. It is a well known fact that if the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly the old ones will feed them most attentively if the cage in which the little birds are inclosed is placed somewhere where the parents can reach it, and a popular but erroneous belief is current that they do this for a time, and end by poisoning the young ones. This, however, is a mistake, the fact being that at a certain stage of a young bird's existence, when it is naturally able to begin catering for itself, the parent birds also quite naturally cease to attend it, and then, if the birdlings are shunt up in the cage and their custodian has not thought of placing some food at their disposal they necessarily die not from poison administered by the parents, but from starvation—St. Francis Post Dishnet.
