The Bustle Drummer had to Wait
From the Msrysyille, Ca, Appeal
A drummer who has some idea that
his desires should be complied with by
all those who are SO unfortunate as Il
come in contact with him, went to the
post-office yesterday, while the general
delivery window was closed and the
clerks inside were busy distributing the
mails.
"Hey, there, Postmaster" shouted
the brassy individual, ~ am In a hurry
and want my mail"
"Tie weight to your ooattail and sit
down for a minute" ohirruped youth
from the inside.
This was an insult to the commercial
tourist. who Immediately tickled the
ears OF those present by telling them
how he proposed to reconstruct the
Marysville postofiice. But when the de-
livery window opened he meekly
stepped up, inquired for his mail, sscer-
talned that there was none, and de-
parted.
Another travelling man Informed the
Appeal reporter that the fresh indi-
vidual made precarious living by SELL
ing bustles to retail dealers.

Was it an $4,000 Forgery &?

CINCINNATI, Feb. 24.-Frank NJ. RE
gal was arrested late last night. The
charge against him grows out OF the dis
appearance of eight $l,C0O orders upon
him as treasurer of the Arcade Building
association, which were said to have
been irregularly issued to make
loan to Mr. ID. l.. GoOcb.
The loan was refused upon
the discovery that Goooh's property
was entirely inadequate to secure such
an amount, The orders were then
ordered cancelled and 1t is now said
they are in the hands of innocent
purchasers. The president of the 1850
citation SAYS that the orders never receiv-
ed his signature and II they are signed
they are forgeries.

L. W0hF S0NS,
MAIN PLAZA.
OLD WINE AND OLD STORIES.

The Admitted Homel of Both. on
Broadway Will Soon Be Sold.
There is something Of a procession
daily Of the old-timers into the wine
room al No. $40 Broadway. They are
men who knew host Henry Felter In his
old merry-day period, and now they
wish to drink once again to the memory
OF many dead and gone good fellows
and to the merry era when politics ran
fast and furious and were washed along
by flow OF good wine and liquor.
Henry Felter was a man who knew the
comfort OF an inn, and he established
one OF the most comfortable resorts for
liquid refreshments. 1t was q quiet
spot at No. $50 Broadway within
shadow of the Metropolitan hotel, the
main hostelry of the town two or more
decades ago. His place became famous
as resort OF the politicians, and when
Boss" Tweed found its quiet to his
liking the fortune Of the proprietor was
made.
1t was in 1910 that Mr.. Felter opened
his trade and for more than q generation
he was one Of the best known charac-
ters in the city. He retired In 1879 and
w. c. Rogers took up the trade. Busi-
ness men found favorable welcome and
WcIc picdctu viii tn6 REALISTICALLY mlX6O
drinks and with sampling the rare cellar
which the expert Judge had gathered,
but the old time had gone, and now with
poor Felter year or more under the
sod Ii is but natural that the place should
90 too, The big armchair which Tweed
so often sat In Is there and much of the
old furniture. The rebuilding Of Broad
way compelled change down to go.
The rent has been steep one, under the
general idea among landlords that liqu-
or sellers make profit enough to pay any
rent asked. Recently the building has
passed into the possession Of the deaf
and dumb asylum and its trustees gave
Mr.. Rogers to understand that they did
not care to rent to "rum-seller," and
rather than look for another place and
re-estsblish himself, Mr.. Rogers has de-
termined to make a clean sell out, and
be is doing 1t without much regard to
the prices which the bottled and Jared
delicaoies bring. The news of the wind
up has brought the procession Of old
timers to the front, and just now there Ia
many story told, many "reminiscences
narrated OF the days when Tweed was q
power and when the ring rulers had not
yet felt the ringing blows with which
the press sent the robbers flying.
