UNPAID LICENSE FEES.
superintendent Smith Closing Sa-
icons Which Have Not Com
piled with the Law.

Superintendent Smith is making it e1.
ceedingly unpleasant for rumsters in
these hot days. Saloonkeepers who for
years have violated the law by selling
liquor for months before taking out
licenses are the people the Superintend-
ent is at present engaged in paying his
respects to.
A resolution of the Board of Aldermen
makes it mandatory for the police
to prohibit any man selling liquor
who has not secured license
law breakers. The present Board would
probably repeal these ordinance If 10
dared. Every week the City Clerk sub
m1ts to the Superintendent a list of the
liquor dealers who have applied for licen-
ses but not paid for them, salso list of
rumsters who have not renewed their
licenses of the preceding year. One-half
of the detective force has been detailed
on this work and the result SO far has
been the effective closing of eighteen
saloons and the temporary suspension of
forty others. The Superintendent still
has in his possession list of twenty seven
more delinquents whose places will be
closed and guarded by a policeman il
licenses applied for and granted are not
paid for.
The latest victim of the Superinten-
dents work was John Molowski who
kept a saloon at No. 844 Henderson street.
MolowsEi applied for a license, was
granted one but never paid for n. Not
withstanding thisfaot he continued Going
business. He Was warned by detective
to close his doors. He complied with the
order for a day or two and again resumed
business. His arrest followed. He was
arraigned before Justice O'Donneil, aud
subsequently discharged on promise to
pay for his license at once. The Superin-
tendent is seeing to it now that saloons
once closed because Of the absence of n
license are not permitted to open until
the necessary permit has been received
and placed In conspicuous place in the

Miss Marks Would Like to Keep H&r
From Seeing Them.
Some months ago Vice-C Chancellor Pit
ney granted divorce to Mrs Theophilus
Smith of New York aud left the children
in the custody of Miss Marks of Roselle
n. j., with whom Mr.. Smith boarded. He
granted the mother the right to see her
children once week. The mother has
since called five times. Miss Marks yes
Jerday came into court and told the Vice
Chancellor that the mothers visits to her
children made her Miss Marks) nervous,
and she asked that the Vice-Chancellor's
order be rescinded.
She stated that Mrs. Smith used vile
and profane language to her in the pre-
sepce of the cnildren. The Vice. Chan
cellor in his CHARACTERISTIC way, COM
manded her to let up on her story. If
she did not like Mrs Smiths language
she could keep out of Mrs Smita's way.
It was not n ecessary that she should be pre-
ent when Mrs. Smith visited her children.
When Miss Marks asked If Mrs.
Smith could bring other peo-
pie to see her children the
Vice Chancellor thundered:-"There is no
law in New jersey which prevents a
mother trom bringing ali the people she
| pleases to see her children" Neverthe-
less, as the case proceeded the Vice
Chancellor modified the original order SO
| as TO prevent Mrs. Smith from seeing her
children again until two weeks from
next Saturday.

ANOTHER PI1TsBURG CAPTURE.
The Head Centre of the Anarchists AR
rested-Rarkman,s Many Lies

The Head Centre of the Anarchists Ar
rested-Barkman's Many Lies.
PITTSBURGH, July 26, 1892. - Henry
Bauer, the head centre OF the Anarchists
here. has just been arrested.
AS the police progress in their investi.
CATION of the attempted assassination OF
II. G. Frick, the conviction grows that the
deed committed by Alexander Berkman
was the result of plot, carefully and de-
nberately planned by Anarchists.
That Berknan has been lying in the
stories he told of his movements is known
to certainty. Thar he had accomplices
is also pretty well established. Berkman
had been in PittSburg since the l4th OF
July and not tive days, as he stated. He
lived with Kari Kneld at SO Cherry street
Allegheny. Knold has been arrested. anc
his capture IS considered most fortunate
thing by the police.
When Knold was locked-u up he pro test.
ed that he was not guilty of any compile
ity in the crime charged against Berk-
man. He did not deny that he was an
Anarchist, and had harbored Anarchists
in his home.
He admitted to the police, however
that Berkman had been stopping at his
house since the 14th inst. Knold says the
other told him he was looking for en-
plovment aud referred him to Herr Most
Knold say he wrote to Most, and that
the latter replied to his letter, stating
that Berkman was dangerous man
knold said he did not trust Berkman, land
therefore asked him to leave, which he
did. He didn't know what became Of
him after that. The police. however. be
lieve that it was Knold who first pointed
out Frick TO Berkman.
Despite Knold's assertion that he was
obly harmless kind of an Anarchist.
the search of his house last evening
proved conclusively that tile circle OF
section, or whatever it may be callei had
been continuously engaged in active pro-
paganda, and intimately associated with
other opponents of government in diff
1erent parts of the United States.
In the rooms were found vast quantities
of Anazcbistic literature and correspond
ence. indicating that Anarchy has an
abiding place either In the persons oi
groups or individuals in New York, Chi.
cngo. Denver and other points. A large
number of cyphers and cypher commu
nications which were brought to ligh
indicated the existence of general and
secret mode of communication.
Secretary Lovejoy sent the following
bulletin out this morning:
"Advtces from Mr.. Frick IS residence d
ten O'Clock are to the effect that he passed
decidedly comfortable night in spite Of
the extreme heat, and that no dangerous
symptoms have developed"

| was standing in the lobby of the
Adams House in Boston. A New York
club man came in and stood talking
with some one in the lobby for several
minutes.
After he had gone out the man he had
been talking with came over to me-he
was a friend of mine-and put this ques-
ton: Glow does Hicks Yardly dress so
well? He has only 5000 a year, and
yet he manages to dress himself so as to
look much better CARRIED than any Bos-
ton man know. Strange, isn't it,"
Not at all.
The Boston man dressed on a cash ac-
count and an eye to color. The New

a science-an art because he had an eye
to harmony; a science because he had a
comprehensive knowledge of means to

how many men know how to have their
coats cut or their shoes shaped? They
leave it to their tailors, and most tailors
cut a coat the same for a STRIPPING Of
twenty as they would for an alderman.
Hicks Yardly would have informed
the Boston man that his hat was too
broad brimmed, his collar was too high
in front and too low in the back; that
his cravat was blue and his violets pur-
| ple-Oh, horror of horrors,-that his cut
away had one too many buttons on it;
that his waistcoat hung down like an
inverted V, whereas it should bind about
him like belt; that his trousers were
tight to the knee and loose from there
down, whereas they should have been
the reverse; that his shoes turned up at
] the toes-the sole of the English made
shoe touches the ground from tip to
heel; that his gloves We're russell, whereas
| they should have been brick color; that
his hair was short on top and long be-
hind, whereas it should be long on TOP
and short behind; that his mustache
should not be waxed; that his topcoat
was loose in front and tight fitting in
the back, whereas tie reverse should be
the case; that his stick was a buckhorn,
in the face of the well known fact that
no true man of the world would carry
nowadays any other than an all wood
cane.
