The feeling Of Island residents and
people in general against the two bridge
companies seems to injuriously affect
the Island street car line. The people
apparently believe that when they pay
a nickel car faro it increases the rev.
enues OF the steel bridge. No idea
could be more erroneous. The street
railway pays the bridge owners lump
sum per month, and whether they
carry few or many passengers this sum

Australian Visitors.

Carl Crosse and ]. Colyille Smith ar
rived in San Francisco last week, with the
object i'll view of inspecting thoroughly
the vineyards of California. The recent
devastations in Australia caused by the
phylloXera has caused much anxiety to
all the vignerOns on the island continent.
and these gentlemen formed the determine
ton of making tour of the world for the
purpose OF studying the effect of different
climates on the grapes.
One of the visitors has been suffering
for some years, and has been under medi-
Cal treatment for what was supposed to
be an incurable head trouble. Mention
ing this he remarked: Il have received a
better diagnosis of my case in San Fran
cisco than anywhere else, and l shall al
ways retain high opinion of the Califor-
MIA medcns." On being asked which
doctor had given him so much relief, MIR.
Smith said:
Il had been very sick on board ship,
and Immediately on arrival tried several,
none Of whom seemed to understand my
case. Finally | was recommended to DR..
Pavlides, who is, l believe, your Greek
Consul here also. he summed my case
up at once, and is Gong me so much good

two or three weeks to give him chance.

EVILS OF THE SPICE HABIT.

liquor habit is accompanied by another, al
most equally uernciOus, which l call the
spice habit. 1t IS as lDSldlOus and almost
as hurtful as the other. 1t arises from the
Gu tom which American drinkers have

lemon peel, calamus or other pungent con-
diments after swallowing their beverage.

EASY VICTORY FOR ALAMEDAs.
Some Gallery Play at Klinknerville.
The "Deadly Pair" Now Down
Pacific Stumps.

Yesterday was anything but batsman's
day in tho cricket field. The light was
uncertain, the pitch slippery and the out
field dead. Consequently no big scores
were looked for nor made. But at both
grounds some excellent work was done in
the field.
The California-Alam match at Web
ster street was necessarily fasco. There
is plenty of good material In the first
named club. but, with all due credit to
Captain Arson for the pluck he exhibits
in these successive unequal contests. it is
hardly question whether the association
would not benefit by the enrolment of the
"yellows and blacks" in one or more of its
other clubs.
The Aamedas, with by no means their
strongest team, scored total Of "a. The
Ansonians in two innings were So behind
them. Excepting the unusually smart
fielding of the cup-hOlders and the excel
cellent analysis of their bOwlers. there was
nothing remarka bic in the play of either
team. Dunlop secured five Of the visitors
wickets. including that OF their captain.
The score:
