WANTS A REBATE.

Hermann Wolf Thinks tho city Owes
Him.
Hermann Wolf owns lot 2S, block IL.
OF the H. M. Ames subdivision of the
Glassell tract. This important fact Mr..
Wolf impresses upon the minds of the
members OF the city council in COM
munication which reached the city clerk
yesterday.
Incidentally Mr.. Wolf also mentioned
the fact that the improvements on the
lot were assessed at $50, whereas the
fact of the matter is that the lot is as
bare of Improvements, or anything else,
as the summit of a bald-headed mans
Uranium. In calling attention to the
matter, Mr.. Wolf also asks that the 60
cents which he paid on account of the
500 worth of Improvements which are
not on hie lot be returned to him. Mr..
Wolf thinks the assessor must hava
dreamed that the Improvements were
on that lot.

The inquest upon the body of Joe Cor

Gates at Peck, Chase & Co.'s, yesterday

There were no new developments in
the case. the principal testimony being
that of M. Mendoza. the only eyewitness
to the killing. Mendoza. through an
Interpreter, said that Corres called his
brotheri in law come very vile names and
started toward him. When Correa made
O move as if to strike him, Valenzuella
drew his revolver and fired two shots
into his brother-in-law's body.
The coroner's jury returned q verdict
that Correa came to his death in the
manner stated. but did not exonera,e
him or blame him. The evidence indi-
Gated Valenzuella's claim OF aelf-defense

THE WATCH RECOVERED
HOW A YOUNG MAN ROBBED A
DYING WOMAN.
William e. SCOTT Arrested on n Felony
Charge - He Admits Having
Pawned the Stolen
Watch.

most unusual case OF theft was
cleared up yesterday by Detective
Goodman, who arrested a young man on
a charge of robbery.
Last Saturday night Mrs. G. A. John
son. wife of the proprietor of the Royal
billiard hall, on South Spring street,
was taken suddenly with hemorrhaee
on the street and died shortly after
ward.
1t happened that two young men we're
passing along about the time she be-
came ill, and they carried her into the
drug store OF A. Littleboy. Death fol-
lowed Immediately, and the body was
removed to the home OF the deceased
The husband found later that his
wife's gold watch was missing, and res
ported the fact to the police. The sup
position was that the timepiece had
been STOLEN by some one who assisted in
taking the dying woman into the drug
store. and the detective found the theo-
ry correct one.
The two young men who so kindly
assisted Mrs. johnson were William E.
Scott and Harry Hanson. The fellows
have been in the city only Jew weeks.
They resided at lodging house on Third
street, between Main and Los Angeles.
From the statements of the officer,
Hanson is an innocent person, though
his friend Scott ia in an entirely differ
ept position. ia ALLEGED that -whilA
tney were moving Mrs. johnson into the
drugstore Scout took her watch from her
dress unseen. He made some remark
later that the lady's watch had fallen
out and asked who had picked 1t up.
Detective Goodman bad theory that
Scott, whose name was then unknown,
would likely call again at the drug store
and perhaps make inquiries concerning
the watch, In order to allay suspicion as
to his having taken it. The detective
left word that il Scott did cali that he be
notified. The very next night Scott
walked in and inquired if the watch
had been found. whereupon the detec-
tive was notified, and he Immediately
arrested Scott on suspicion.
Hanson was also found, but when
Scott weakened yesterday and told
Goodman that he had pawned the
timepiecs the frat named was released.
Goodman found the watch at pawn
shop near First and Main streets, where
it was recovered.
Scott will now be prosecuted on a
charge OF robbery.

Rub patent leather tips of shoes

After a room has been newly

Use the asbestos mats under pots

Molasses rubbed on grass stains

Alcoholism.

The great dark cloud on the hor-
lion is alcoholism. Doubtless its
influence is felt in all classes of So
ciety; but it is above all the scourge
of the people. 1t is a scourge of
recent date, one that has appeared
in the last thirty or forty years.
Alcoholism is the very latest par
venu and a cosmopolite. 1t can be
assigned no native land. Since,
through heredity, it has entered
the blood and marrow of the people,
and is spread alike in country ard
city, it has alarmed first physicians
and lawyers, and little by little all
thinkers. The race is stricken in a
vital spot. Hospitals, insane asy-
lums, and prisons give daily evil
dence of its progress. In some
countries it is easier to count those
who are not than those who are
addicted to it. Add to this, that
what is now drunk is radically diff
ferent from what was drunk in old
times. 1t is not in the domain of
ideas only that our age has discov-
cred fraud. It's material, as well as
its intellectual and moral susten-
ance, is poison. It's favorite drink
is a cheap mixture, adultelated
with spirits made from beet root
and potatoes, with which the great
manufactures inundate the world.
1t can be said with truth that it
drinks its death and that of its
children. The future is poisoned,
and coming generations are doomed
to blight, insanity, and crime, The
consequences of alcoholiSm-eco
monte, hygenic, moral, political, and
socialism, never be calculated. OF
nine-tenths of the ruin, disease,
accidents, crime, fanaticism, and
popular disturbances, we can truly
eXclaim: The cause is alcohol.
Catholicism rayages the youth Of
the people to frightful extent.
There is hardly a form of amuse-
ment without it. 1t disturbs and
destroys healthful pleasure. 1t
prevents physical culture it neu
ralizes the effects of social meetings
where good fellowship and relaxa-
ton are sought. Every meeting,
every excursion, no matter what its
object, runs risk of ending in Il
drinking bout. Manners become
coarse, and talk and songs brutal.
Formerly the city relied on the
influx of new blood from the fields
and mountains to recruit its
strength. These reserves are them

other things, steady work for a
whole year, provided they did net
strike. These words were received
with applause. President Crawford
and William Howells of the miners
were present at this meeting, and
they had to listen to a violent de
nunciation of themselves by the
superintendent. These mine offic-
ials, the superintendent said, only
wanted to cheat the working miners.
After he had spoken in this way,
these two officials of the miners
were given the floor. The two held
short address, but they were
roundly Kissed by the miners.
"On May 2 most of our Staunton
miners returned to work under
protection Of the deputies. Toward
evening about 600 strikers of the
surrounding nei9hborhood gathered
in this place, and held a mass
meeting, but only sixty Of the
Staunton miners dared to attend
At this meeting the speakers were
President John Mcbride, Penna,
and Crawford and Howells. All
their speeches did no good.
edward May 8 there had come
together in this place about 1000
striking miners. But try what they
could, they could not induce our
Staunton miners to strike. In order
to avoid a conflict, it was agreed on
the part of John Mcbride, Craw-
ford and Howells, on the one hand,
and the company on the other, that
a secret ballot be held upon the
question whether the Staunton
miners would strike or not. 1t was
agreed that if the majority voted
for a strike, work would be sus
pended if not,I work was to be
continued. The balloting was held
on May 10 at p. ~. 1t resulted
in Ill votes for and 263 against q
strike !!
"Upon this, President Crawford
called all the strikers away from
Staunton and work was continued
The result of the ballot embittered
the strikers in the neighborhooG
greatly. Accordingly, all tht
miners located within radius O

place 5000 strikers. Just as soor

No matter whether she is plain
or beautiful, every maiden should
have a summer bow. Should she
be of an economical disposition one
of linen lawn is sure to suit her.
Very pretty they are this year, in
all the delicate colors. The ends
spread out stifly and are futed at
the edges.
The not too fastidious wearer will
find this bow thoroughly satisfying
1t will cost her but rs cents.
More expensive bows, says the
New York World, come in pale
shades of MORE. They are eX-
tremely flat with a brilliant buckle
in the centre. No bow of fashion
has dropping ends. The stock
effect is the vogue.
The importance of the blouse
waist wakes instead of waning
with the changing seasons. So
great is the variety of these now
that whole departments are given
to them in our shops. For morn.
ing wear they are plain and of
simple fashion, either of washable
silk or chambray, cambria and
cheviot, in all delicate colors. They
are made with plaitings from throat
to waist in front, and buttoned with
silver or gold studs; the neck is
finished with either a turn down
collar or a little plated jabot. Those
of chambray have a neat little vine
of embroidery on collars and cuffs
and around the buttonholes. Next
to these come waists of fancy silks,
peau de sole bengaline, and change
able taffetas on surahs; everything
goes into these, or they are simply
fashioned or loaded with lace trim
med ruffles, according to the taste
of the wearer. They are worn with
the skirts of tailor gowns, and any
others that are convenient. The
dressiest waists for evening wear are
those. of jeunesse silks, ice crepe,
accordion plated net or chiffon,
and black lace.
1t is said that this is going to be
a "white summer" precisely as
black, touched up with a color, has

selves affected. There are in the
Vosges, to cite one example only,
secluded valleys where the springs
flow ever, where the air is pure, and
where the memory of man cannot
recall an epidemic. But alcoholism
raigns. The number of feeble babies
is constantly on the increase. There
is decentralization in habits, in the
pocket, in the household. The fruit
of life of labor disappears in
smoke. Alcohol is more terrible
than the plague, than war, or any
scourge of Nature. Outward losses
may be made good, and even decay
in the world of ideas; but how shall
we remedy an evil which devours
blood, brains, and nerves, and
destroys even the basis of life?
Sometimes, in reviewing our civ
ilization, the question is asked
What can menace it? 1t cannot go
down before an invasion of bar
barians like that of antiquity. Its
enemies, nevertheless, are not far to
seak. They do not swarm on a
distant horizon like the Huns and
Vandals; they are in its midst, and
alcohol is one of the most terrible.
What hope can there be for the
! future in a youth given over to
alcohol A democracy rests on the
good sense of the people, on the
wisdom and energy Of its citizens,
on the spirit of order, of work, OF
economy. For all these good things
one can tremble as long as absinthe
and brandy gain ground. They are
the barbarians in our midst. -EX-
