German friends We're having friendly
talk yesterday in the New York Bakery

more to its numerous customers, having

been repapered, painted and decorated

as usual was jam last evening, parties
playing billiards, cards, etc., and num-
bers of them patronizing the bar, smiling

our friends Newman and Mahlstedt have
no cause of complaint on account of the
rough times.
