HOODLUMISM RAMPANT.
Officer Bagley Breaking Up the Tw
tieth-Street Gang.

Ofhcer Bagley Breaking Up the Twen-
tieth-Street Gang.
Robert Reed was convicted in the Po-
lice Court yesterday of vagrancy. lie
was arrested by officer Bagley, who has
made up his mind to break up the hood
lumism that has for so long been prac-
ticed in the vicinity of Twentieth and o
streets.
Last Saturday evening the 'garg"
abused an old man there, and then tried
to Brighten him and hasten his flight by
discharging pistol shots after him.
Bagley, who is on the day watch on
that beat, heard of the racket and set out
to learn who were the perpetrators of the
affair, The people out there seem 10 be
in terror OF the gang of marauders that
iniest the neighborhood, and the officer
had difficulty in getting any information
as to the guilty parties.
Besides Cook, however, he has arrested
one Jack Duhain, who admits having
fired the shots, and to-day he will be
tried for discharging firearms.
Bagley says the gang have been max
ing the Swimming Baths building their
chief place of rendezvous, where nightly
orgies are held. But he thinks he has
broken the back of the hoodlum jubilee.

A STRANGE BENEFACTOR.
Remarkable Story of How Al Man
Helped Relieve Suffering in -
Hundreds OF Homes.

Hundreds OF Homes.
(From the Brooklyn, ". Y, Standard U1aion.l
There is a curious character in BlissviIIe,
the southern extreme OF Long Island City,
who is known to everybody, including
children, as ''the doctor" although his
advice has always been gratuitous and he
has but one remedy.
Joseph J. Myers, "the DOCTOR" is the
proprietor of the Homestead Hotel, where a
Standard Union reporter found him last
night.
what IS the secret of my remedy?" he
smilingly observed, in response to a question.
"There is no secret. Neither am I a doctor;
and there hasn't been one in my house for
almost quarter of a century. My doctor
stands up there on the safe in the form of
Perry Davis Pain-&iller, and under no
circumstances would l allow myself to be
without q bottle.
Il was once afflicted by liberated sore
throat, and my position became so critical
that three physicians, who had been called
in consultation, gently broke the yarn to
me that my days were numbered. An appli-
cation of Pain Killer was suggested. l tried
it. A week later | was back at my work.
"a few weeks afterwards a neighbours
wife was suffering from the same affection.
! sent bottle to her, and in a few days she
came to my house to thank me for having
saved her life.
''My oldest boy, last winter, was attacked
with infammatory rheumatism. l applied
Pain-Killer and drove every Yestige of the
malady out of his system.
"My two boys were brought through
siege of diphtheria, at a time when The dis
ease was widespread, and the Pain-KilIer's
success with them induced me to send
dozen bottles to neighhors whose children
were also Frustrated. In every instance it
effected cure. That's why they call me
doctor" in BlissYille."

Louie Kue and All Chung Were Com

A Chinaman named Louie Kue APP
peared in the Police Court yesterday to
answer to a charge of selling lottery
tickets, preferred against him by Officers
Fisher and Taylor. Considerable interest
was aroused in the matter, as this is the

a young man named O'Hara was the
first witness. He testified that he had
purchased lottery ticket from Louie

esting rite that changes Gentle into a

hope to promote the Gospel of Peace and

absolutely ridiculous, and calculated to

The San Francisco Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals has bill
before the Legislature that ought to pass.
1t has the support of all the humane So
ceties in the State, and ought to have the
friendship of all men. 1t prohibits what
is known as the ''docking'' of horses by
which the tail of the animal is amputated
two-thirds of its length, the fieshy part of
the underside of the stump is cut out and
the wound kept open until nature sup
plies the loss and heals the sore in callous
form, so that thereafter the tail will stand
out almost at right angles from the body
Of the mutilated animal. Despite ali the
humane societies can do, this senseless
practice OF treating horses is on the in
crease, and it has so spread that not the
nobby park riders alone dock their
horses tails, but even work teams are
suffering, and some farmers have been
so silly as to initiate the English nobs
who will not ride unless their mounts are
bobtailed. Docking is willful cruelty. It
is an absurdity, too, and more sense
less fashion cannot be named. The pre-
tense of utility in it is a sham. 1t ought
to be made a criminal offense, and if it is
not done it will be because the Legisla-
ture is too busy at the tail end of the ses-
sion to prevent this outrage upon the tail
of the horse, for it is unthinkable that a
single member of either house will advo-
cate or support the cruel practices. The
San Francisco society is right in its ask

AssEMBLYMAN O'DAY's bill (by re-
quest fixing the fees of doctors, and
making it misdemeanor to charge more
than the rate set out in the bill, is absurd.
1t is paternalism with vengeance. Why
not fl x the fees of lawyers, mechanics,
surgeons, veterinarians, opticians and en-
gineers, and regulate the charges of mer-
chants, bootmakers, newspaper men,
commission merchants and such? 1t is
unlikely that Mr.. O'Day will champion
SO Iidiculous a measure. The people are
competent, a little while yet, to buy sup
plies and engage services without the in
tervention of the paternal arm of govern
ment.

Chinese and Japanese Labor. 80

A correspondent writes that the farmers
in the vicinity of Oak Park and FIorin
have organized for the purpose of mutual
protection, and have started a movement
to reduce the price of wages formerly
paid to Chinese and Japanese laborers.
They have unanimously agreed not to
pay over 70 cents per day of eleven hours
for that class of labor during the canning
season, as thst is thought to be proper
remuneration in view of the general de-
preston of the fruit market, and desire
the cooperation of ali parties interested
throughout the State.

ASSEMBLY Joint Resolution 10, by Mr..
Merrill, calls for the employment of con-
victs at Folsom in quarrying granite and
crushing stone-the latter, presumably,
for road metal. The resolution looks in
a right direction, but without other legis-
lation would be imperative. That whole
matter is now in the hands of the Joint
Committee of the Senate and Assembly
with two Road Engineers, Senator Shine,
Chairman, and is, we are assured, re-
ceiving the most assiduous attention, the
result of which will presently be re-
ported.t to the Legislature with great clear
ness, and accompanied by suggestions
for proper legislation. Indeed. the Joint
Committee is by far the most important
committee raised by the Legislature, and
will go down in State history as such.

FIRE IN A RESTAURANT.

1t Was Extinguished by an Officer
Before ANY Damage Resulted.
Special Officer Warner discovered a
small blaze in Hopp's Restaurant on
Third street, between X and L, about II
o'clock last night. He obtained an en-
trance by breaking open the door and
found that some curtains had caught fire,
presumably from the stove.
With the assistance OF a citizen he tore
the curtains down and threw them into
the street and extinguished the incipient
contlagration with a small garden hose.
The damage was nominal.

Five Ignorant Bankers.

A letter was recently received from a
gentleman in Lowell, Mass, who asked
for some light on the currency question,
saving that the subject seemed TO be
very little understood in his section OF
the country.
iIe had called on FIVE Of the leading
bankers In Lowell and asked them what
was meant by "the free coinage OF Sill
ver."
The first banker said he did not know.
The second said that It's meaning had
not been defined, or, rather, that IL was
not settled just what 1t did mean.
The third said that IL q person TOOK
.il2t grain of silver to the mint, 1t
would be coined into dollar for him.
The fourth said that any person tax
ing dollars worth OF silver at the
market price, to the mint could have IL
made into dollar for him.
