OAKLAND PO0LR00MS DOOMED.

The following is from Oakland
items in the San Francisco Chronicle:
At the meeting of the City Coun-
Gil last night the ordinance prohibit
ing the selling of pools in the city
came up for final passage. MIR. Mel
son moved that the ordinance be fin
ally passed Mr.. Brosnahau then
made an amendment that the provs.
ion in the ordinance closing the pool
rooms in ninety days be stricken out
and that the ordinance take effect on
October /, 1892. The amendment
was carried, Messrs. johnson, Par
doc and Nelson voting no. Mr.. Gar
thorne then moved that the provision
preventing the selling Of pools on
race tracks in the city be stricken
out. The amendment was carried.
These amendments made it necessary
to pass the ordinance to print again.
The vote last night shows that the
poolrooms are doomed. They will
have to go on October LIST. The or
dinance will come up for final passage
at the next meeting of the council.

DiFeAT Of THE Whisky TRUST.

Judge Dundy of the United States
District Court, Omaha, Nebraska,
entered judgment May 9th in the Gel
ebrated Nebraska City DistiIlery
case. In 1887, the Nebraska City
Distillery went into the whiskey trust
and after running for two years shut
down. 1t had been leased to the
trust for twenty-five years, and, after
being shut down, was sold to G. l..
Woolsey under the condition that he
should not use it for distilling pur-
poses. Woolsey began the manutac-
ture of whiskey and high wines. The
trust Immediately began suits, alleg-
ing violation of the terms of sale.
The defense was that the terms OF
the lease were intended to perpetu-
ate monopoly, and, therefore, con-
trary to public policy. Five suits in
all were maintained, and in each in
stance the trust was defeated. Judg-
ment was entered on May 9 and all
the proceedings were dismissed.

New York, May 9.-The Tribune
will publish tomorrow London
cable letter from Edmund Yates, in
which he says: There are widespread
aDd persistent rumors that Prince
George will shortly be made Admiral
Of the feet and given the title of
Commander-in- Chief of the navy.
1t is high time that the service had
royal chief, but a purely ornamental
fgurehead would be of little value.
At the Royal Academy dinner year
or two ago the Duke Of Cambridge
returned thanks, as he always does,
for the army, but, although the Duke
of Edinburgh, q full Admiral, was
present, Lord George Hamilton, a
civilian, responded to the toast Of
the navy. Surely this ought not to
be natural and proper. The head of
the Queens sea service ought to be
the Duke of Edinburgh, whose thor
-ough knowledge of that service is
unsurpassed and whose popularity
among the officers is as great as it is
deserved.
The German Emperor is at last in
possession of the imperial trainde-
luxe, which 1t has taken three years
to complete, 1t has cost about ESQ.,
900, and consists Of twelve carriages
communicating by corridors. The
drawingroom and library are hung
with Gobelin tapestry from the
Charlottenburg palace, and the din
ing-roo is paneled in old oak. Two
compartments are reserved for the
nursery. A bath is attached to each
sleeping-room, and the reception
room is decorated with marble statu-
ary. One car consists Of kitchen
fitted with every modern appliance.
News comes from Newmarket that
the Duke of Rutland's Cambridge
shire estate has been sold to Harry
McCalmont, and that the price ex-
ceeds $35O,0O0. Cheveley Park is Il
fine old place, but there is not now
much of house and new one will
doubtless be built.

STRANGE RACE or CAvs-DwElLERs

AT the Royal Geographical So
ciety's meeting in Madrid a curious
paper has been read by DR.. Bide, a
medical man who has recently ex-
plored a wild district in the province
of Caceres, still inhabited by a
strange people who speak curious
patoiS and live in caves and inaccessi-
BILE retreats. These singular rem
nants OF some prehistoric race have
a hairy skin, and have hitherto dis
played an inveterate repugnance to
mix with their Spanish and Portu-
guese ncIghbors. Lately roads have
been pushed into the district inhabit-
ed by these "Jurdes," and according
to DIR. Bide they are beginning to
learn the Cas'ilian language and TO
appear at fairs and markets in the
province in order to purchase few
modern commodities and agricultural
implements. Pail Mall Gazette.

narrowly escaped one OF the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that state during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
ReOieao. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable TO get warm, and in
side Of an hour after his return he
was threatened with severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and
got bottle of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number of large
doses, He says the effect was Won
derful and that in short time he
was breathing quite easily. lie kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able 10 come TO Des MO,nes.
Mr, Blaze regards his cure as simply
wonderful. Fifty cent bottles for

An idea of the rapid growth of The
United States since the beginning OF me
civil war may be formed by some com
p%arisons Of the total vote in differca'
years. When Abraham Lincoln was
elected president Of the United Statesln
1850 he received 1,S65,0l3 votes in thr
thirty-two states which then constitute
the Union. In the presidential election
of 1883 the total vote of New York state
was 1890 O9. New York's total VOC
this year is not very far from the entire
vote cast for Mr.. Lincoln in the wh"'

Probably the best known stage driv.l
in the world, unless it be Hank Nom
who gave Horace Greeley his famml

used to call him. He was rugged, ruS
in his speech sometimes, but kind heart

men of a man physically too. Fully \
feet 2 inches high and weighing I'D
pounds, he was Il man one "looked M

had a magnificent constitution, and wbsl
he died--it was only about five yesrl
ago, and he was seventy-iive years o}
then-the doctor almost wept over him
Foss bad abused his own strength, AMI
the doctor could scarcely forgive bJ
for it. ''Only to Think" he said, "tha1
he should die now. Why, sir, it ws1
Gods intention that this man shoull|
live a hundred years. What a pity, what
a pity!'
Years and years ago Foss went to 5.

Foss deserved all his fame. One time o

everybody of any distinction-that is

He was an intimate friend Of w. {

Everybody who visits California goes t

He was a sly old boy, and under hi

They We're accustomed TO the ancient
style oi transportation, for they were
pioneers and knew not the rush of this
tevered age. Still they recognize that
the change is a benefit. Hitherto the
people of johannesburg have been forced
to obtain all their supplies by OK wag-
on, creeping monotonously fifteen or
twenty miles a day from Kimberley, a
distance Of SOC miles, or from Natal,
100 miles away. Everything in johann
nesburg-even the very wood and gal
vanized iron, of which so many of the
houses are built-has had to be brought
there by this slow and highly expensive
transport, while TO reach the place "a
coach journey of two or three DAYS,
costing from eight to twelve pounds,
had TO be undertaken on leaving the
railway in Natal or the Cape Colony.
Now the journey to Cape Town, which
is about $50 miles away, is performed in
sixty hours, thus placing The Rand with
in nineteen days journey from London.
1t is expected that the population of
Johannesburg. which j. estimated by
its sanitary board at 40, 1000, will be still
further augmented, and the influx of
labor, combined with cheaper living.

the mines and contribute to the reawak-
