BOUGHT AND SOLD BEER.
Though Lewis Paid no Tax, He Violated

A remarkable illustration Of the IN
finite variety of human transactions,
and the difficulty of general legislation
wnich Will cover all particular events,
was afforded in the United States Dis
tr:ct court yesterday, in criminal ex-
animation before Commissioner Nc
Quewan.
jacob Lewis, OF kalamazoo, keeps n
small grocery store, and IS occasionally
employed TO help in a saloon near by.
Lewis customers at the store were sup
pied Dy hum with bottled beer when
ever they wanted il, and he was yeSter-
day taken before the United states
Comm. ssioner. charged with selling
malt liquors without paying
the Government tax. The tes-
tmony showed that It was
/ Lewis habit 10 take the money and 90
into the saloon and purchase the beer
/ which his customers ordered. The
| commissioner decided that, though this
might be strained into technical VIOLA
/ ton OF the law, il would also fall natur-
/ ally INTO the innocent purchasing OF
/ beer for others as their agent. Ii was
certain that he had not sold the beer al
a profit, aud therefore be ought not t.

PREYs ON PEOPLES IMPULSES
And Sells Brass Rings mt Dollar
Apiece.

A somewhat new version of an old
ring game is being worked IN tins city
by a young fakir with a smooth face
and plausible manner. lie applies at

when she appears Ire tells pitliul tale
of Leing without funds and desiring 70
reach friends elsewhere. lie j. too
proud to beg, but has valuable ring
upon his finger that he will gladly sell
for the money he needs so badly. The
ring he represents is worth S. or IS, and
while he values il highly from It's asso-
ciatlons, vet he will part with IT rather
than ask charity. lie asks for Sl.50 or
even 81 for the ring, so plausibly that
the victim hands over the money and
and takes the ring, and the confidence
man departs with another rirg on his
finger which be values more Tor assocl-
atoms than for its intrinsic worth. The
rings arc worth about 10 cents n gross
