A CHINESE TOOTHPULLER.
Thomas Y. Kim and His Can
ton Dental ParlorS on
Clay Street.
Methods That May Be Primitive, Yet
Satisfactory to the Elite Of
Chinatown.

A Chinese dentist has opened ''parlors"
for the reception of patients that desire
molars extracted after the most approved
Canton methods. The ''parlors" are at 76O
Clay street, in conjunction with Chinese
shoestore.
Thomas Y. Kim, Mongolian young
man, who speaks excellent English and
wears the conventional dress of Western
civilization, is the proprietor of the dental
parlors and the manipulation of the Canton
tweezers.
To be entirely truthful about it, Mr..
Kim's dental parlors, as well as the Asso-
ciated Asiatic shoestore, is one of the
cIeanest shops in Chinatown, and is
patronized by the attaches of the Consul
late, by the clerks and secretaries of the
Six Companies and by the functionaries,
the dignitaries and the rich storekeepers
and merchants of the quarter. Neyerthe
less there is apparent in the interior ar
rangement of this joint shoeshop and
dental parlor that economy of superficial
area for which the Chinese are so justly
noted. The shoeshop itself Is not a roomy
apartment, yet the dental "parlors" occupy
but a limited square in the southeastern
corner OF the room. 1t is an elevated cor
ner, Just large enough to permit the oper-
ator and the patient to occupy 1T at the
same time And to prevent-in the posi-
bic struggles incidental to Cantonese
dental surgery-either the operator or the
patient from slipping off the platform an
iron railing has been placed around it, and
from this railing depends clean white
curtain that shuts out the mysteries OF the
dental "parlors' from the vulgar gaze of
those who may be merely purchasing foot
apparel, or from those who may be ex-
pectant victims.
Indeed, about the largest thing in con-
nection with Mr.. Kim S dental parlor is its
great glaring sign on the eastern wall OF
the building. 1t Is in white letters on a
black ground, in both English and Chi
nese, and reads:

INCREASE IN BEER TAX.
Local Brewers Do Not Fear Washing
ton Rumors to That
Effect,

Local representatives of the beer-produc-
ing industry appear to be taking very little
stock in the reports contained in dis
patches from the East to the effect that
1.-The brewers are in warpaint," and are
preparing to make vigorous fight in Con-
gress next winter to prevent an increase in
the internal revenue tax on beer. Neither
do they heed the rumor coming from
Washington that President Cleveland will
recommend an increase in the tax. or that
he Will let 1t be known that he would sign
such bill if passed by Congress. They
appear equally Indifferent as to whether
or not such law is passed, saying it will
not affect the interests of the brewers
Kudolph Mohr, secretary of the Brew
ers' Protective Association, said yesterday
that the association had received no in
timation that the next Congress would
make move to increase the beer tax, al
though 1t was generally understood that
certain Washington politicians favored it.
II hardly think, however," said he,
that there is anything to fear in that line,
as DO not bellve any political party will
nave the hardihood to so openly oppose
the brewery industries, controlling as they
DO so large vote. Some individual poll
tclans or members of Congress may en-
deavor to get such bill passed, but have
no idea that any party will wish to incur
the antagonism of the brewers by espous-
ing, such a cause. The possibility and
probability of such action being taken was
discussed at the convention of the United
States Brewers Protective Association held
at Milwaukee last month, but what steps
1t was decided to take, if any,
to defeat the movement if undertaken, L

the proceedings of the convention. That
will be some time yet, and until then
nothing will be done by the local associa-

to do so. All operations of that nature are
directed from the headquarters of the
United States Protective Association at
New York, and this body, as a member of
the main association, will receive notifica-
ton if it is expected to cooperate in any
concerted action to prevent unfaYorable
legislation.
II hardly expect that we will take any
notice of the matter in any event since it
is not true that our brewers would be af-
fected even if an additional tax of dollar
a barrel is placed on the manufacture of
beer. The breweries would simply add
another dollar to the price of beer and the
public as consumer would have to pay it,
as the retailers would use smaller glasses
and put less in the pail For this reason
more than any other think there is little
fear of the tax being increased

B|L|OUSNESS.

When you are bilious the bile
does not secrete readily; in plain
English, your liver is not work
ing correctly. Instead of your
having too much bile you have
too little bile. The liver needs
more bile andyou haveto produce
this. If you want to successfully
treat and cure biliousness take
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Go
by bottle directions. Don't take
some other poor substitute when
you can get joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla.
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-01
DYSPEPSIA

Is closely allied to biliousness;
the one produces the other, the
other produces the one. When
the stomach is in bad order the
liver becomes disgruntled; re-
fuses to do its share of the work.
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla is
the mild corrective for stomach
and liver-see bottle directions.
Take no poor substitute. Don't
be hoodwinked by drug clerk.

NOTORIOUS THIEF ARRESTED.

Pete Cramer, Alias " Frenchy," Had
Burglars Tools on Him.
Pete Cramer, alias "Frenchy," a notori-
Gus thief, was arrested yesterday by Po-
licemen Reynolds and Donovan. They
were on a McAllister-street car and saw
Pete acting suspiciously on the corner of
Van Ness avenue. They jumped off the
car and unobserved watched his move
ments. He attempted to go into house
on McAllister street near Franklin, but
was scared off by the children coming out
of the school close by. He then tried to
enter two houses on Grove street and the
officers thought it was time to stop him.
AS soon as he saw them he ran, but was
caught on Fulton street and taken to the
City Prison.
When searched a 'jimmy' and three
skeleton keys were found in his pockets
and he was charged with having burglars
tools in his possession. The officers ex-
pect to be able to connect him with some
of the recent burglaries. In his pocket
was found a pocket-book and in his room

Vice Consul King Owyang denied yester-
day that the notice to boycott the Sam
panlies. According to the best of my be-
lief" he said, ''the order was made by
some one who wanted to stir up trouble in
Chinatown
The readiness of the mass of the Chinese
to obey the order, however, proves beyond
a doubt that the order came from men in
authority. Should the dispute be carried
home to the Chinese Government, the
Sam Yups would undoubtedly get the
best of it, as their president, Lee Ii Chun,
wears large button, and has besides a
pull" in official circles. In the meantime
however, the Sam Yups are relying very
heavily on the police for protection.

their sorrow, that the boycott threatened
by the See Yups was in active progress.
Nearly all the butchers are Cav Gong

They sat in the market place with their
money displayed on bench (or banca as
it was called,) before them. When one of

(or bench) was said to be broken and he
was styled a 'bancorotto, or bankrupt.
