Something About Pork Pie
Places.
HOW A "HOTEl." us ADORNED
The Farwell Mill Strike is Said to be
Practically Settled.

Ever since the discovery of the recipe
for the making Of pork pies and the plac-
ing of them on sale at the various restau-
rants and places where other commodi-
ties necessary for the subsistence OF man
kind have been for sale, petitions for
.'victualling house licenses" have been
presented to the City Council and In most
every instance the prayers OF the petit
tioners have been granted.
This city Is not the only one where, for
some reason or other, this very popular
bill OF fare can be produced. No one pre-
tends to dictate In this Gland OF the free
and the home Of the brave" how man
shall diet, and the fact that these pork
pies can be procured on certain day OF
the week when people generally dine at
home with their families causes one to
imagine that they are on sale for the pur-
pose Of aiding In the sale OF something
else.
While no one objects to the sale OF nec'
essary food for supplying the wants OF
the many hungry visitors and people who
live on the European plan, 1t does look,
from what can be observed by the condi'
tion Of some Of the lovers OF this particu-
lar sort OF pie, that they hao made an er'
ror In calling for the desires OF the inner
mar and received something that goes to
make a course dinner complete.
There seems to be no one to blame for
the existing condition of affairs. IL the
applicant asks the city government for q
"victualing house" pcense and gets 1t he
has legitimate permit to sell whatever
bis customers call for In the way OF eata-
bles. But farther than that II the holder
of a license uses 1t for the purpose of dis
pensing anything else he Is certainly
abusing the privileges granted him by the
City Council.
1t is q well known fact that there are
several places which are kept open on sun
day for the purpose Of selling ''fOod," and
as the contents Of the alleged reataurants
comprise hardly anything else but bar
and some towels hanging, therefore 1t
seems as though the once aristocrstic and
Deimonico style OF q restaurant had
reached very low standard.
Strike Practically Settled.
Supt. Farweli OF the Farwell Mill in
this city stated to newspaper represen-
tative yesterday that the strike, which be-
gan at the mill last April, was practically
settled, and that nearly all OF the machin-
cry was In operation.
New help has been procured and all OF
the former employees of the company who
had remained in the city since the inaug-
uration OF the strike, nearly six mont hs
ago, had been re-eDgaged-
Already there are slxty.six looms Ia
operation and by Monday 1t Is expected
that the mill will be running with q full
competent Of operatives.

rear OF the Hiscox bakery, at the corner
of High and Cross streets, and alarm was
Immediately sounded from box 129, which

was considerably behind hand In getting
to the fire, owing to the fact that every
driver of hose cart in the city had his
team out enjoying their usual morning
exercise.
The fire, W hen the apparatus arrived at
the scene, was lburnlng briskly, aud at
first II looked as though the whole square
was in danger OF catching fire, but four
streams OF water were turnedion and the
fremen succeeded in keeping the hre con.
fined to where It originated.
The woods shed is located on the prop
erty OF the Fales estate, and is used by the
Hiscox bakery for the purpose OF doing
/. their cooking In and the cause Of the fire
= this morning was the result OF one OF the
i, employees Of the bakery overturning fry
< ing pan full of fat. A barn which Is at.
stached to the woodshed contained several
VSales of hay, two horses and miscellaneous
articles and all were removed to place OF
saaeety. The wocdshed itself is complete
