SALOONS MUST CLOSE TOMORROW.

Even Gifts of Liquor on Election Day q
Violation of the Law.
Tomorrow is election day, and the police
will be particularly active in suppressing
any illegal liquor selling or giving. As the
elections in this city are for ward officers
only, the point has been raised that saloons
need not close. Inspector McAleese, of the
First district. says this idea is mistaken
one, and there will be trouble for anyone in
this district who fails to comply with the
law. 1.-THE law on this matter is very
direct" said the Inspector, yesterday.
"Some people do not know how sweeping it
is. The act Of 1887, says: TT shall not Re
lawful for any person, with or without
license, to furnish by sale. gilt or otherwise,
to any person any spirituous. vinous, malt
or brewed liquor on any day upon which
elections are now or hereafter may be re-
quired to be held, and upon conviction
thereof the offender shall be fined not less
than $50 nor more than $500, and undergo
an Imprisonment of not less than 20 nor
more than 80 days.
"You see," continued the Inspector, "it
is illegal for one man to give drink out
of bottle to a friend. OF course, we do
not go to extremes, and would hardly inter-
iere in case of that kind, but where we
find a man who has laid in a stock of liquor
for the express purpose of treating his
friends on that day we will make it verv
unpleasant for him. 1t goes without say
ing, of course, that any saloon keeper who
tries to do business on Tuesday will have an
account to settle with the police. Oh, yes,
it's regular election day, and comes with
in the meaning of the act of 1887"

BOTH DIRT AND BEARD.

How an Allegheny Barber Got Even With
an Unkempt Customer.
An Allegheny barber, on the elite order,
had a workingman for customer the other
day whose face was begrimed with dirt, and
a scrubby beard of three weeks growth
adorned his jaws and neck.
"Here is soap and water" suggested the
barber. "Get some of that dirt off while you
wait"
''No. I'll be hanged if 1 will, the laborer
replied. 81 leel contented."
The barber bit his lips and said nothing
1t was apparent he didn't like the task be-
fore him, and the contracted brow and oc-
casional CLEANS that fitted across his visage
showed he was evolving plot to get even
The workman's turn soon came, and the
barber shaved him. He looked like a
spotted monkey. His face was clean where
the lather and razor had been, but the bal
ance wore the original hue.
"Ne1t!" yelled the "tonsorial artist" and
the fellow walked out with smile of salts
faction on his vari-colored phiz, that made
everybody laugh who saw it. He was a
sight.
"Why didn't you wash that MANI" the
next victim inquired.

price does not pay ME for my trouble"

REFUSED TO ROAST.

A Resolution Condemning the Judges for
Granting Licenses Receives Rough
Treatment in an Allegheny Temper
ance Meeting-The Younger Members
Show a Strong Hand.
There was little diversion in the usual
quiet Sunday night meeting of the Sons of
Temperance last night at their hall. 6S Ohio
street, Allegheny. Mr.. Laurence Mooney
had read the lesson of faith as laid down in
the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, and had
introduced several speakers, among them
Mr.. A. Bryce, w. Il. Carlisle, Robert
Grundv and d. Swoger. All of them spoke
Of the evils of intemperance, and regretted
that the county judges looked at the Brooks
law in the way they did. The speakers took
the ground that all licenses should be re-
fused, and could be without any violation of
the judges authority in the matter, that
they had discretionary power to do so. The
speakers regretted that the judges did not
enforce this power.
In Mr.. Swoger's speech he advocated
holding indignation meetings and con-
demning the judges if they would not, and
SO enlist the sympathy OF church people and
finally compel the judges to quit their
churches or refuse licenses. Mr.. Bryce pro-
posed that resolution be adopted by y
rising vote of those present, indorsing this
idea, and several of the young men in the
audience rose and objected. They said they
were not wholly in sympathy with those
ideas, and they knew enough of parlia-
mentary law to underatand that when
resolution was offered they had the right to
debate it.
There was quite little confusion over
this declaration. The -obiectors were all
bright young men, members of the Junior
Order Of American Mechanics aud knew how
to talk. William G. Holman finally got
the floor and had begun to saw he was not
exactly of Mr.. Swoger's belief, when one of
The members of the society jumped to his
feet and interrupted him.
Mr.. Bryce proposed fair play for the
young mau, and he was allowed to proceed.
He defeaded the judges in their actions and
said they did only what the great majority
of the people desired them to do, and the
majority wanted licenses. He said he did
not know Judge White. but he thought he
was fair and honest and he would defend
him in the judges absence. Mr.. Holman
was loudly applauded by his friends, who
were evidently out in force. Mr.. E. n.
Parker and Mr.. William Bigger also spoke
TO the same effect, and a feeble defense was
attempted by some members Of the society,
who took the floor while the boys were
talking.
In the midst of it all Mr. Mooney ad-
journed the meeting by having the choir
sing the doxology and did not allude to the
proposed resolution. 1t was not adopted.
The young men were not satisfied and asked
Mr. Mooney to allow them to debate the
question at next Sunday nights meeting,
which he agreed to. Mr.. Mooney told
them, however, that he was going to have a
nnliceman in attend a nee tn con nrdpr

RUNNING A HOTEL.
Some Difficulties Experienced in Getting
Good Fruit.

Some Difficulties Experienced in Getting
Good Fruit.
II will be glad when a new and better
crop of fruit appears in the markets." said 4
hotel proprietor yesterday. "Guests want it,
but the variety is limited this year and the
quality is such that half you buy is decayed
or unripe, and not fit to eat. The banana
is so common that few people care TO eat it,
and as rule they have been plucked too
soon and ripened in the sunshine that pours
through a shop window. Malaga grapes are
scarce, so are peaches and apples, and the
prices of all kinds are out of sight in COM
parison with the rates of former years.
mo, the cost of living has not increased
lately. 1t remains at the basis established
last fall. The canned goods men and the
preservers figured on the crops, and fixed
their prices for the year. New articles of
food are beginning to come in from the
South to relieve the dreary monotony and
tempt the appetite. 1t is hard to get up
tempting dinner, outside of the meats and
cereals. the other things eaten have such
an insipid TASTE"

Kleber Takes the Lead in NIu!


In addition to the numberless Steinway,
Conoyer and Opera pianos and other musi-
cal instruments sold daily at this popular
old-time establishment, the Messrs. Kleber
have also disposed of quite a number of
Vocation church organs. No one can have
any idea of the surprising musical beauty
and excellence of these wonderful Vocation
organs without having seen and heard them.
At the low price of $500, the Vocation fur
nishes more variety, delicacy and strength
of tone than any 50, 500 pipe organ, while
TOR durability it iar surpasses the latter.
Churches which desire first-class instru-
ment for public worship. and do not want to
squander thousands OF dollars unnecessarily
in an ordinary pipe organ, are invited to
call at Kleber's music store and examine
these matchless Vocation organs. The
Klebers enjoy the confidence of the public
for their integrity and also for the superior
excellence of their instruments. Anything
that comes from Klebers' must necessarily be
musically perfect and satisfactory. Their
store is 506 Wood street.

The DuQuesne Traction Makes Its First Trial
With Success.
The first trial trip of one of the Duquesne
Traction Company's cars was made early
yesterday morning with very satisfactory re-
suits. A car belonging to the Ellsworth
and North Highland division had been fit
ted up with a motor and trolley, and was
started from the car house on Neville street
shortly after midnight. The car was in
charge of the electricians of the road who
ran it back and forward from the car house
to the Ellsworth avenue railroad bridge un-
til $3.50.
The power was furnished by the East End
Electric Company by connecting wire to
the Ellsworth avenue circuit. The trial
was pronounced success. There are %
cars in the house on Neville street, which
are being fitted up as rapidly as possible
with motors. They will all be run over
Ellsworth avenue, and given test before
they are sent over the road.
