Toledo justice is peculiar. The man
Schlagel, who shot William Curry,
in Schlagel's saloon and who evidently
intended to kill his victim, gets SEN
tence of two years in the penitentiary,
while two young men who were con-
victed of stealing bicycle each, were
sentenced to two and two and half
years, respectively, in the penitentiary.
Evidently it is more honorable to
attempt murder than to steal bicycle
in the so-called Future Great. Those
Toledo wife shooters will probably
come up next and each be presented
with ii chrome and a license to hunt
up more women for targets. Great is
Toledo and peculiar is her justice.

Gilmore's Toy Bazar.

You had better make note Of this
announcement if there is any posi-.
bllity of your forgetting fact so i'm
portant. Christmas will be here soon,
and 1t is well to know where to find
appropriate gifts for the little folks
whose annual joy at the anticipated
visit of Santa Claus is one of the
greatest pleasures of childhood. AT
Gilmore's Toy Bazar the display of
Holiday goods is now open. Up
stairs and down stairs toys of every
variety can be seen. But few stores
outside of Philadelphia carry so large
a stock from which to select. There
are dolls by the hundreds, dishes. side
boards, desks, rocking chairs, cradles,
doll houses, doll furniture, express
wagons, doll-baby carriages, menager-
les, kitchens, soldiers, drums, wheel
barrows, fire engines, hook and ladder
trucks, hose carriages, Crandall's toys,
tally-hos, street cars, tin and iron
wagons and horses, rocking horses,
mechanical toys, bicycles, animals of
all kinds, musical instruments, games,
guns, magic lanterns, trunks, swings,
nine pins. trumrets, toy stoves, cups
and saucers, vases, Christmas tree
decorations in endless variety. 1t is
useless to attempt to name all the arti-
cles that may be seen here. One can
spend hours in wandering through the
many rooms and looking at the thous-
ands Of nice things The prices range
from few cents up to many dollars,
so that everybody can find something
to fit their pocket books. Call soon
and avoid the rush before Christmas.

piece there is picture in colors of the
Virgin and the child Christ in the
manger at Bethlehem, with angels

A highly interesting letter, written
by the late Henry w. Grady, in 1887,
to his boyhood friend, Professor Viii
liam Henry Peck, the author of "The
Stonecutter of Lisbon" is printed on
the editorial page. The letter will be
read with delight by many admirers of
the great Journalist and orator, as it
contains, in the frank disclosure of in
innate friendship, some details Of the
early life of MIR. Grady, which have
never before been published
incidentally Mr.. Grady pays high
compliment to the Uerdld, in this let

follows:

The liver sluggish-life dull, everything

ways are open. Cure permanently, or
relieve temporarily. Take a pill and

the system by an overdose, coax it by
a mild, pleasant way.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
mild means. They work effectively,

1t is a mistake TO consider Catarrh merely a
local trouble. 1t is unquestionably disease
OF the blood, and therefore the right way to
cure Catarrh is to remove from the blood the
impurities which cause and feed it. This is
to he done by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great blood purifier, which effectually expels
all traces of poison and germs of disease.

Sidonia, she was mistress of her subject"
Her expert knowledge, of course counted
for a great deal. But beyond this there was,
TO my mind, remarkable capacity in her
for taking at once a broad aud a practical
view of any subject; for recognizing the
inevitable necessity of q compromise; for
accepting the conditions under which reform
of any kind has to be made; for admitting
limitations. Besides all this, there was
certain compOsure about her; certain
dignity OF manner. She was neither OBJ
truSve nor diffideut. She seemed to say in
effect: "You must Ike me rs l am; don't
pretend TO be lady, in the conventional
sense of the word apd don't pretend TO be
a good speaker, bat l have something to
say and want to say it, l am not anxious
to make speech, but | have something to
saw to you which ought to be said" Now,
[ think that woman personltied fairly the
best aspect of the woman's movement in
England. l think woman is coming for

which she feels ought to be said. This is
the strictly legitimate influence of woman.
it is not the influence of the petticoat. 1t Is

1t was q winters night in the smoking
room of the Whitechapel Club-that con-
centration of Bohemianism at Chicago. The
wind howled dSmally outside the windows
and icicles were hanging from the chande-
liers.
1t was night that made mems blood run
cold. The CHASTITY light from the one lamp
OF the room glowered cheerfully through the
so,ketless eyes of the skull. and glimmered
fitfuly upon the gang of quill-driyers who
sat grouped around. 1t was Il happy crowd
in joyful mood, and they were telling
ghost stories to eniven their spirits, which
were running low in the decanter.
Peter Findlay Dunno gave the first remi-

The Robust weather-Maker Recalled to

Lieutenant Finley, in charge Of the
Weather Bureau, has been recalled to
Washington, and will be succeeded by
Robert E. Kirkham.
The ex-weather-maker was very popular
in this city, and newspaper men never for
got to mention him among those who, by
their courtesy and consideration, make the
task of the interviewer pleasure. He as
sumed charge of the bureau on July l, 1890,
and soon made many improvements. He
established telegraphic rainfall and temper
allure stations in Southern California, intro
duced the information signal at display
stations on the coast, and the daily weather
map in the public schools of this city.
Through Lieutenant Finey's efforts a
daily weather map for the Pacific States is
prepared. He connected the Weather
Bureau with all parts of the State which
could be reached, and made arrangements
for republication of all vessel and weather
reports received by telegraph from points
along the coast from this city to Tatoosh

THE RUNNER NUISANCE.
A SCENE Witnessed at tho Landing of the


A Scene Witnessed at tho Landing of the
Australian Steamer.
Editor Morning Call: Permit me to draw
the attention Of the readers of THE CALL
to most disgraceful scene which seems to
be enacted on the arrival of the Australian
steamers at this port. l happened to be at
the wharf on the arrival of the steamer
Alameda from Sydney to-day, and saw one
OF The most disgusting pieces of black
guardlSm that l ever desire to witness. A
rather sickly looking man, apparently about
90 years of age came from the boat with
Two small grips. and l presume on account
OF his inoffensive look he was Immediately
marked out for the sport of the tough
hotel-runners, who infest that locality when
the coat arrives. Seven or eight of item
ran u D to him at once, laughing and yelling
with all their might, making the man look
confused and annoyed. This seemed to
spur them on, and after reinforcement OF
about four more they started to lay their
hands on him in way that was disgrace
to this whole country. The poor man was
caught by the coat and arms and pus he'd
from one to the other. He was subjected
also to the most filthy language, and all the
tlme he was not given chance to decide,
lnasmueh as when he made movement
toward one of the runners he would be
roughly jerked back into the midst of the
toughs and everything would DE repeated
with a little more brutality than before. A
policeman who came up, thinking there was
row, seeing that the man was a defense
less stranger, helped TO make the matter
worse by hauling the man about and yell
ing to him: why don't you say where you
want to go?" and as the man did not answer
he turned away with an II pity the poor
ignorant fool' sort of smile. and said TO
the bystanders, They'll frighten the poor
fool out of his wits" The whole crowd
hooted and jsered and one or two of the
boys amused themselves by throwing pieces
of wood at him whenever he managed to get
little out OF the way of the runners.
Do you not think It is a pity that a
stranger cannot land at this wharf without
having to run the gauntlet of dozen or so
OF tough runners?
In any case comparatively old man
should not be brutally handled by lot of
blackguards, even if he does not desire to
board ut their elegant tirst-class hotels at
81 80 a week"
l have written at this length in order to
distinguish these proceedings from simply
an excess Of zeal on the part of solicitors for
hotel trade. l beg TO remain very truly
yours. F. S.
