The counting of votes has been in

falsihcation than any other part OF

reporting u unanimous vote. on their

ENGLISH DRINKING SONGS.
Fletcher's Happy Efforts and the Varia
tions OF 1t.


tions of 1t.
The best of the English drinking songs
were y. itten 10y the draInatists of the
scventC, nth century, men who trollcd
out tn r vigorous sentiments. linked
sweet, together in flowing verse. with
out the smallest thought or fear OF
shocking anybody. Frankly indecor-
ous. they invite the whole wide world
to drink with them, to empty the brim-
ming tLnkard passed from hand to
hand. and to reel home through the
frosty streets, where the watchman
grirs at their unsteady steps, and quiet
sleepcrs. awakened from duh dreams,
echo with drowsy sympathy the last
swelling cadence of their uproarious
song. Where there is no public senti-
ment to defy even Bacchanalian rioters
and Bacchanalian verses cease to be
defiant. What admirable good temper
and sincerity in Fletcher's importun-
ity:
Drink to-day and drown all sorrow.
Yod shall perhaps not do it tomorrow;
Best, while you have it; use your breath;
There is no drinking after death
''Then let US swiIl, boys. for our health.
Who drinks well loves the commonwealth.
And he that will to bed so sober
Falls with the leaf. still in October"
ITpon this Song successive changes
have been rung. until now its variations
are beyvildering, and to it we owe the
ever-popular and utterly indefenslble
glee roarcd out for generations by many
{: lustv tavern chorus:
.'He who goes to bed, and goes to bed
sober,
Falls as the leaves do, and dies in October;
But he who goes to bed, and goes to bed
mellow,
Lives as he ought to do, and dies an honest
fellow

IN HARD LUCK.
E. Barada Claims $4,000 Damages for
False Arrest.

Ernest Barada wants Charles Faun-
cetti and Henrietta, his wife, to dig deep
down in their pockets and hand over
$4,000 for damages he has suffered by
means of their foolshness.
In the complaint that has been filed
the plaintiff claims that on September
14th the two defendants conspired to in
jure him in his business, name and repu-
tation. Charles Fauncetti swore to
complaint falsely and filed the same
with Il. H. Wells, the justice of Santa
Monica township, and upon which war
rant was issued for plaintiffs arrest on
the charge OF burglary.
Meanwhile Barada had obtained po-
sition at Helena, Mont, and was on his
way thither when placed under arrest
at San Francisco. There he was de-
tanned in Jail for four days and then
brought back to Santa Monica and there
held in custody until released on bail.
Upon his case coming to trial the
charge of burglary was found to be
entirely unfounded, the defendants fall
ing to substantiate the charge preferred
in any particular.
Many persons, however. knowing that
Barada had been arrested. refused to do
business with him, he lost the situation
at Helena by the delay and has been
refused employment by reason of the
false charges made against him. For this
he demands a monetary Salve.

JOHN SLATER, MEDIUM.
The Smooth Talker Reaps Another Rich
Harvest

Sunday evening John Slater gave an
other one of his seances at Illinois hall
before a full house at 15 cents head
The professor opened his seance with a
short address, first announcing that
he was a Roman Catholic, with spirit
ualism added to it. Then that he believed
in buddhism. with spiritualism added.
After relating the many isms that he be-
lieVed in, the professor left the rostrum
to give the audience a chance to rSece
questions on the table TO be answered.
and fully one hundred eager men and
women made mad rush for the stage,
tumbling over each other, trying to get
there first.
After all had left their messages on
the table. the professor again took the
stage and then the supposed guides
took control and the seance began right
after. Many of the messages left on the
table had been answered. their names be-
ing learned while he read the little notes.
Each name as learned received a. So
called test in rapid terms
After the necessary flattery was given
the professor read some more data.
so as to get some more tests or names
to give tests on.
After a few tests were given each time
the professor would fatter himself with
being the prophet who prophesied some
past event.
The entire evening was passed in this
way. while the audience twisted their
tired frames from one side of their
chairs to the other.
1t is said that Slater Is reaping rich
harvest in this city The question is.
how long will the people allow them
selves to be worked in this way? Thou
sands of dollars are taken out of the
city yearly by these sharks.
