The local Of the SUH, telling abou
some newspaper nan who paid fifteen
cents for q shave. asks "how is that for
extravagance?" We admit that l6 would
seem e-xtravagant, if there was any like
Hhood thai It had been paid by anybody

writer when he was a boy-rub his face
with cream, and let q cat lick it of.

It would be very well for the proprie-
tors of billiard saloons to refer to page 306
OF the CITY ordinances. 1t seems that
school boys and other minors have q

No minor can play without the written
consent of the parent or guardian, and
the proprietor of a saloon suffering the
law to be violated may be fined from SIC
to $50. 1t is the sworn duty of the police
to see that this ordinance is not violated.

the last three or four weeks when It's
summary of foreign news had been given
the day previously by both papers, tax
ing the Associated Press news. 1t very
freqnently -happens-as it did most pro-
baby in the cases alluded to, that dis
patches come at so late an hour that we
are compelled to leave them over unit
the next day.

the other magazines for September. His

On the arrival of the steamer Grand
Tower in port yesterday, Captain Lennon
had a warrant issued for the arrest of {
man who gives his name as G. s. Lester
and who is accused by the Captain of hav'
ing robbed one of his passengers, and also

backed out. They paid little attention t.
the description given Of the thief, how
ever, until some hours after they lef

parties with Lester. This drew attention
