Charles Preston was the first colored ap-

RIVER FRONT FARMS.

The Eyes Of the County Commissioners and
the Assessors Opened by Recent Events
Increases In the Valuation Which Are
Said to Be Imperative.
The Department OF Charities can tell you
that very few people are aware Of the
extraordinary growth Of value Of farm lands
in Allegheny county during the past year,
and the appreciation has set some people to
thinking that the attention of the assessors
for the next triennial valuation should be
made aware Of the tact that river front
farms are valued at ridiculously low figures.
Down the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail-
way, some years ago some farmers appealed
from the trieunial assessment and had their
values pulled down to 500 an acre.
One map swore his was worth but $50 or
so an acre, and he has since been kept
tolerably busy explaining that he meant
that it wasn't worth more than that for
agricultural purposes. This explanation,
however, 1t is held does not explain, for the
idea held is that the selling value or nearly

his brother has been in the cigar business
on Penn avenue. They want to increase
their restaurant, and think they can do it
better with license.
"You mean you can make more money
that way" remarked Judge White, and 1t
was admitted.
Mr.. Christy-I personally examined this
place, and found it about as ram-shackled a
place as I ever struck.
The applicants say it is to be fixed up
with new ceiling, etc.
Minor Behind the Bar.
Thomas Nuttridge, at No. % Diamond,
keeps three bartenders at work, including a
minor son, who recently returned from COL
lege.
The Judge gave a short lecture on the
evils of having minor son exposed to the
temptations of liquor
HE don't know the taste Of it," replied
Nuttridge.
He then told of the amount of business

moment to tell it all.
Michael M. Frey has been running q
restaurant at 60 and 81 Diamond street the
past year and wants a renewal. 1t required
about two minutes to satisfy the Judges in
quisitiveness about Mr.. Frey's abilities to
run a saloon.
james Fl. Filson has been running a
saloon at No. 2O9 Grant street, and has had
David Larkin in partnership, though the
latter was refused license last year. They
have combined on this years application.
Have you a restaurant?" asked Judge
White.
"fes, we set up eight or ten meals every
day" was the reply.
Legal Decision on a Restaurant.
the Judge-That don't make restau-
rant.
Filson-We've got dining room. II
people don't come we can't help it.
Judge White-I don't doubt but that
these two are keeping only saloon. The
law don't authorize a saloon alone. BY
good management q restaurant could be
made to pay.
Mr.. Christy-The only objection is that
Fllson has violated the law in taking in
Larkin as a partner when the law strictly
forbds it.
Judge White-I have no doubt but that
the law was violated all year.

age 75 per day; the order of proceedings will
be as follows: First the applicant will be
examined by the Court, then the applicant
or his attorney may be heard; then the re-
moustranss; then the applicant may reply
then two or three witnesses may be heard as
to matters in dispute; the opponent can
state his objection briefly, to which the ap-
plicant may reply. This, 1 think, will
facilitate business. No case should have
more than five minutes. The list will be
heard as published.
Chief Formula of the Dialogue.
And then the regular grind began, a grist
that has been ground and regrouud for
years. If a man is a new applicant his
antecedents must be inquired into, and if
his grandfather went to jail his goose is
cooked. If it is an application for a re-
pewal, the following is about the dialogue:
Q. Have you obeyed the law during the
year?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Is there any drunkenness about your
place?
A, No, sir.
@. Do you think you could continue to
keep the law and prevent men getting drunk
in your restaurant? not saloon.]
A. I think so.

Mr.. Christy wanted to know if women do
not frequent the place. Applicant replied
that about once a week a woman got a
drink in the dining room.
John Nee, after swearing left handed, the
onlv one he had, told his story. He had a
saloon i'm 1889, and was refused in $780,
which the Judge said looks bad. He now
wants license at the corner of Penn avenue
and Second street. Mr.. Christy asked if he
had not been in the hospital within the past
two years on account of over-indulgence in
drink. He replied that he had not been in
the hospital for five years and suggested
that Mr.. Christy was mistaken, but he
thought not
William j. McDonough was on the police
force II months and was injured in the dis
charge of his duty. He now wants to keep
a restaurant and saloon at the corner of

Shows His Irish Pluck.
Bernard McGinnis was refused last year,
but with true Irish pluck bobs up again this
year with an application for license at 20
and q Water street. He has been in the
wholesale liquor business at No. Carson
street for the past eight mouths, having Sc
cured the transfer from O'Malley. He has
handled two carloads OF beer weekly, the
largest part of which was sold in saloons.
His sales in jugs and bottles, he says, would
amount to 50 or So weekly.
Thomas f. Mcintyre wants to keep a
salool at No. % Penn avenue, which has
been occupied the past year by Mrs. Buch.
who applied Tor license last year and
failed. She runs cigar store and, Judge
White suggested, a speak-easy. The appli-
cant's capital, the Judge thought, was not
sufficient to go into the hotel business.
This ended the forenoon business and
recess was taken until o'clock for dinner.

Peter Kolbecker is little old German
who keeps a saloon and restaurant at 50

and opens pretty soon thereafter.
Kolbecker-I close at 10 or IL and open at
8 o'clock in the morning.
Mr.. Christy-His application says he

lived there 40 years.
Notaries Public Roasted.
Mr.. Kolbecker replied that he had lived
in Allegheny that long
His application was drawn up by John
RedmaD, notary public, and was signed
without reading it. Judge White pro-
ceeded TO deliver lecture on the awfulness
of swearing to all affidavit without reading
it, and said:
''If applicants 60 to notaries public there
is sure to be some mistake. That'll do"

A Man Who Ought to Be Married
The place where William Maxwell, at
present policeman, wants to open place
to get something to eat and drink, is at the
corner of Water and Market streets. He is
not married, though a handsome young
1rishman, which somewhat surprised His
Honor. Judge White. He says he will hire
