SUNDAY CLOSING OF SALOONS At last week's meeting of the city trustees a petition signed by saloon proprietors and wine-makers was presented asking that an ordinance be passed providing that saloons, wineries, pool and billiard rooms and cigar stands be closed from midnight of Saturday to 1 o'clock of the afternoon of Sunday. The petition after discussion was referred to the ordinance committee for further consideration, and a report from the committee, either for or against the ordinance, may be looked for in the near future. It will take a month to pass the ordinance, in the event it be approved, and unless advantage be taken of every available meeting during that time, the ordinance may go over into February before being passed. A few weeks thereafter occurs the city election, when a vote upon Sunday closing will be taken, with prospects of its carrying. distance, in the event it be approved, and unless advantage be taken of every available meeting during that time, the ordinance may go over into February before being passed. A few weeks thereafter occurs the city election, when a vote upon Sunday closing will be taken, with prospects of its carrying. Since the meeting at least one saloon-keeper has publicly announced that he favors Sunday closing during the entire day rather than the half-day makeshift proposed. He says he is content to suffer the loss to his trade that Sunday closing will entail, rather than to keep open during the afternoon of the Sabbath and invite the riff-raff from all parts of the county to come here and whoop her up. We think the point made by this liquor man, who conducts a quiet and orderly establishment, catering only to the best of trade, is well taken. While the roysterers do no business with him, because he will have none of their trade, yet he dislikes to see these chaps here, making merry in their drunken orgy, firing their revolvers as they hike out of town and turning the community into a border town. Anaheim can do without this riff-raff element. She does not want their patronage, and the sooner saloon-keepers deny them entrance into their places, the better it will be for all concerned. Now, then, how will Sunday closing affect the places where liquor selling is licensed? While it will undoubtedly curtail their sales, it will give saloon men a much more desirable trade, and a day of rest once a week, as other people enjoy. Other lines of business close on Sunday. Why should not the saloon man have a day of rest... closing affect the places where liquor selling is licensed? While it will undoubtedly curtail their sales, it will give saloon men a much more desirable trade, and a day of rest once a week, as other people enjoy. Other lines of business close on Sunday. Why should not the saloon man have a day of rest also? We think the majority of our citizens agree with the saloon man here referred to. A concerted movement on the part of the liquor men to this end will eliminate the campaign for Sunday closing in April, which one needs not go far to hear about already. Let us educate ourselves to the fact that we can wet our whistles sufficiently six days a week, and let saloons be closed all day on Sunday, as the liquor man here referred to advocates, rather than the half-day closing, which will not stay the campaign now on for Sunday closing. Another point: Let the dice box be barred. One finds no dice boxes in well-regulated saloons nowadays. If dice must be maintained, let a shed in the rear of the saloon be provided therefor; but let it be banished from front entrances. It looks bad; it sounds bad, and to people passing the coarse and frequent vulgar lingo partici- The Coming of the Postman Written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox for T. H. Hollingworth, Carrier on Route No. 4, Anaheim, Cal. The ponies of the Postman are trotting up the street, Our hearts are beating measure to the music of their feet; For nothing else can happen, that brings the same delight As the coming of the Postman to folks suburbanite. In spite of wind or weather, in seasons dry or wet, We count upon his coming and he never failed us yet; A friend to be relied on, in confidence we wait, This bringer of the tidings, this messenger of fate. And nothing else can happen that gives the same delight As the coming of the Postman to folks suburbanite. THE CLOSING YEAR BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE 'Tis midnight's holy hour, and silence now Is brooding, like a gentle spirit, o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the winds, The bell's deep tones are swelling; 't is the knell Of the departed year. No funeral train Is sweeping past; yet, on the stream and wood, With melancholy sight, the moonbeams rest Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air is stirred, As by a mourner's sigh: and, on yon cloud, That floats so still and placidly through heaven, The spirits of the Seasons seem to stand. Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn's solenm form, And Winter, with his aged locks—and breathe In mournful cadences, that come abroad Like the far wind-harp's wild and touching wail, A melancholy dirge o'er the dead year, Gone from the earth forever. 'Tis a time For memory and for tears. Within the deep, Still chambers of the heart, a specter dim, New Year's water wagon is going to take on its usual compartment of long and short haulers. York paper wants to know how good money?" Well, a St. coin, for instance, despite has been said about it. Date of the outbreak of SenaDavis, some of the trusts to pay dividends even on stock. Joe Cannon can claim the son of being the only man in house of Representatives who is satisfied with the committee meetings.

Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn's solemn form, And Winter, with his aged locks—and breathe In mournful cadences, that come abroad Like the far wind-harp's wild and touching wail, A melancholy dirge o'er the dead year, Gone from the earth forever. Tis a time For memory and for tears. Within the deep, Still chambers of the heart, a specter dim, Whose tones are like the wizard voice of Time, Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold And solemn finger to the beautiful And holy visions, that have passed away, And left no shadow of their lovliness On the dead waste of life. The specter lifts The coffin-lid of Hope. and Joy, and Love, And bending mournfully above the pale, Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters dead flowers, O'er what has passed to nothingness. The year Has gone, and with it; many a glorious throng Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, Its shadow, in each heart. In its swift course It waved its scepter o'er the beautiful, And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man; and the haughty form Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. It trod the hall of revelry, where thronged The bright and joyous; and the tearful wall Of stricken ones is heard, where erst the song And reckless shout resounded. It passed o'er The battle-plain, where sword, and spear, and shield, Flashed in the light of midday; and the strength Of serried hosts is shivered, and the grass, Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crushed and moldering skeleton. It came, And faded like a wreath of mist at eve; Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air, It heralded its millions to their home In the dim land of dreams. Remorseless Time! Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe! What power Can stay him in his silent course, or melt His iron heart to pity! On, still on, He presses, and forever. The proud bird, The condor of the Andes, that can soar Through heaven's unfathomable depths, or brave The fury of the northern hurricane, And bathe his plumage in the thunder's home, Furls his broad wing at night-fall, and sinks down To rest upon his mountain crag; but Time Knows not the weight of sleep or weariness; And Night's deep darkness has no claim to His rushing pinion. Revolutions sweep O'er earth, like troubled visions o'er the breast Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and sink Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles Spring blazing from the ocean, and go back To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear To heaven their bold and blackened cliffs, and bow Their tall heads to the plain; and empires rise; Brookhurst Mrs. J.

Easy Money A tramp went into Huenemeyer’s restaurant on Monday evening and presented the proprietor with the following order: Ernest Huenemeyer — Please give bearer $3 in meals and charge to me. I will pay you Thursday next. He has worked for me and has money coming and is a good man. Do not let the bill run over $3, as he may get boozy and want more. C. M. Hilton. The tramp wrote the order himself in an adjacent business place. Not knowing name of the restauranteur, he asked for the necessary information. Being given the name, he filled out the order. He was given an elaborate meal. Yesterday morning he showed up for breakfast. The fraud had been discovered, and Constable Litten gave the hobo half an hour to get out of town.
