LOOKING INTO THE FIGURES.

THE Calls advertising record for July
furnishes the strongest proof of its grow
ing popularity as the great advertising me-
dunn.
During July THE CALL published 29,640
want ads, making a daily average of $50.
This exceeds THE CALLS best previous
record, and exceeds by thousands the
record of any other city paper. The aver
age for the last seven days of the month
was the highest, being 972. The largest
number published in Sunday issue was
III, and in a weekday issue 1851. Last
week for the first time THE CALL published
more than 1000 want ads in weekday
issue. Wednesdays CALL containing 1915
and Thursdays 1851.
TIE CALLS great lead over its contem-
poraries makes it the only want medium.
The total number of inches of adver-
tisements published in THE CALL for the
four Sundays in July was 1884 an excess of
729 inches, or Sc columns over its nearest
competitor.

THE BEER SYNDICATE.

There has always been a question how
the several breweries of this or any other
city could be capitalized under one owner
ship on a basis of about three times their
original value, yet the process is going on
in several OF our principal cities. The syn
dictate octopus has reached for other indus
tries. Its object always is to create mo-
noply. 1t does not want one brewery or
one plant of any kind unless it can buy
enough to control that particular product.
The beer trust in this city talks fairly. 1t
disclaims any purpose to reduce the rates of
wages or to increase the price of beer. 1t
claims that there is reasonable profit in
the business as it has been conducted. The
fact is not denied that dividends are to be
paid on a larger amount of money than the
breweries represented under the old man
agement, but on the other hand it is
claimed that the members of the syndicate
are content with lower rates of interest
than are current in this State. 1t is appar-
ent from a meeting held at the Metropoli-
tan Temple Friday evening that many of
the retailers of beer have little confidence
in the declarations of the beer syndicate as
to their methods of conducting the brew
ing business. The retail dealers see dam
ger from TWO sourees-one, an increase IN
the price Of beer, and the other the estab-
iishment of competing saloons to be owned
and run by the syndicate. We do not know
what ground there may be for this appre-
hension. 1t is certain, however, that both
methods of Gripping the retail business as
now conducted are practicable. If there
should be an increase in the price the retail
dealer would have 10 choice but to submit.
The breweries not in the trust cannot sup
ply the daily demand. Capital would go
into new breweries with reluctance, as it
would have to fight a powerful organiza-
ton The process followed by all syndi-
Gates is to crush out competing establish
ments before raising the price of their
product upon the public. 1t is economy to
bind the victim before proceeding to kill
him. The Standard oil trust has followed
this process for years with marked success.
1t undersells rival establishments until
they are willing to quit for song and then
it pays the song Competition killed, it is
not difficult to find pretext for rise in
prices. Whether the brewers syndicate
contemplates going into the retail business
| probably depends upon the retailers them
selves. If they buy beer of the syndicate
at whatever price may be established the
| syndicate will doubtless be content to con-
| fine themselves to wholesale operations, but
| if the retailers should strike against an in
crease the natural remedy of the brewing
| syndicate would be to establish saloon
| as near by as possible to the saloon that
ventured upon a strike.

MRS. COOPER'> BIBLE-CLASS.

The Prodieal Son Was the Subject OF
Yesterdays Lesson.
The Bible-class of Mrs. Sarah b. Cooper
resumed its weekly session in the syna-
gogue ON Suffer street yesterday directly
after the morning service. There was
large attendance of ladies and gentlemen,
and after cordial greeting Mrs. Cooper
expressed great pleasure at being privileged
to teach in the synagogue, where so many
warm personal friends OF the Jewish faith
worshiped from week to week. She also
gave much cheering information in regard
to the kindergartens, in which the Bible
class is so deeply interested.
There have been three new kindergartens
added to the list making twenty-five under
the auspices of the Golden Gate Board, with
an annual enrolment OF 1900 little children.
Some of these kindergartens are crowded
to overlooking. The work has never been
so prosperous as now. An invitation was
extended to all to visit the kindergartens.

morning hours were announced as the most

Upon the subject of the lesson, THE

A New Orleans dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer under date of the oath of last
month says: Emil Gueringer is dying ON
his fathers plantation in st. Bernard, just
below New Orleans, with a bullet in his
lungs shot there by his wife. Gueringer is
only just OF age Four years ago. before he
was II, he married a woman seven Or eight
years his senior, and widow. Mrs. Teale,
a governess in the family Of friend Of his.
She was very jealous of him, and lately
they have been quarreling until she threat
ened to leave his house.
Yesterday she told him that she could
live with him no longer, on account OF his
ill-treatment. He became very furious at
this, threw a Ratchet at her, then seized
gun lying in the corner of the room and
aimed it at her, but she got the drop on him
first with the revolver. and shot and NOR
tally wounded him. The bullet struck him
in the back under the left shoulder, COM
pletely performing him, going through the
left lung and making the exit between the
ribs. This is the story as told by Mrs.
Gueringer.
GueriDger's tale is quite different. He
was seated in a chair, he said, when his
wife came up to him and began patting
him on the cheek, at the same moment
which she held in her other hand. He
sprang from the chair and ran out of the
room, pursued by her, pistol in hand, to
the steps of his mothers house, she then
threatening to shoot his sister, who came
to his relief. Mrs. Gueringer is now locked
up in the Parish Prison to await the result

Mrs. Usher OF San francisco has been

and the owners of property on them are
unable to build because of the lack of
water. A large number Of new houses for
which plans were prepared and the contracts
about to be awarded were not erected be-
cause of Captain Thompson's policy An
other complaint is also made agaist the
water company and is illustrated by the
following case: John II. Spring owns a
house on Railroad avenue, near Webster
street, which he lets without water. The
last tenants moved out owing the water
company for water furnished two months.
A few days ago another family named
Burke moved in and made the usual deposit
of 50 at the water company's office and
asked that water be turned on. Then the
company suddenly discovered that the pre-
vious occupants owed for two months and
refused TO turn the water on until this debt
was hquidated either by the owner of the
premises OF the new tenants. The latter,
in order to have the water, paid the bill,
unjust as it was.

The new Government OF Samoa Is little further

lay In carrying out the provisions OF the treaty
framed at Berlin has had a very bad effect. A
number OF Observation-Disclosures have persuaded GER
tam OF the natives that there Is nothing in the
treaty whateyer-that il is simply t0nga-fII

much dissatisfaction, which, cable advlces init
mate, has resulted in trouble on the islands The
natives are divided into three parties tho
Malicious, Mataafas and Tamaseses. The Mat
