fitting manner. Many prominent business
men remem bered the old man and his age,
and sent him gifts and congratulations.
He was born in Seidlitz, Poland, when
troubles were falling thick and fast upon
that unhappy, dismem bered country. He
early took an active part in the political
dissensions of the time, and went into.ex-
lie at Is. The Poles learned to be patri-
otto in their cradles and suffered for it in
their youth.
He went to France, the refuge of the
banished, and for many years was COM
mission merchant in Paris. During the
close of the Napoleonic era he lived in the
capital city and many times saw the great
Cors1can and heard the imperial bugles
sounding through the streets. Old Mr..
Greenberg rememb ers and loves to speak
of the Emperor and is sad when he recalls
the downfall OF Bonaparte, the warrior
friend of Poland.
He afterward removed to Algiers, where
he met and married his wife. She died in
1854, leaving him two children, who died
in their youth. Soon after their death he
removed to America and embarked in ac-
tive business. He soon acquired consider
dDI0 IAOucJf put 4OSI III III al uuluChy
speculation.
He came to this State in 1868, where,
from penniless stranger, he soon grew to
be man of means and finally of wealth,
when the great mining deal and disaster
of 1876 swept down upon the street, and
Louis Greenberg, with many others, was
ruined and his fortune scattered. He
struggled against misfortune, but never
succeeded in establishing himself firm in
business again, and about ten years ago
he became an inmate of the Hebrew Home.
Although 100 years, with their ups and
downs, their fortunes and misfortunes,
have gone over his head, his mind is clear
and he remem bers the most minute de-
tails of his active life. The flight from
Poland, the great Napoleon, life in Africa
and in America, are yet fresh in his men,
DRY.
In 1849 he had his coffin and shroud
made for his final occupancy and kept
them near him, SO as to be handy, he said.
When he went to the home the officers OBJ
jected to the coffin and it was banished
from the institution. The shroud he was
permitted to retain and the sepulchral
garment hangs in his closet. However,
he wants it understood that he does not
intend to use either the shroud or coffin
for halls of another century, unless he
should meet with an accident.
Mr.. Greenberg enjoys excellent health
and can read and write without glasses.
He takes care of his person and is cleanly
and genteel in his habits. He is a light
eater and seldom partakes of liquor or uses
tobacco. With fine, sound constitution
and quiet. peaceful disposition, it is
believed he will lengthen out his span of
years far over the century mark.

NO MORE FREE CAKES.
Master-Bekers Have stopped the Prac-
tice of Giving Presents.

Master Bakers Have stopped the Prac-
tice of Giving Presents.
mo more presents of cakes and confec-
tions at Christmas or other holidays" was
the decision of the Master Bakers Pro-
tective Association, which met yesterday.
The association was formed for the pur-
pose of protecting the trade from the in
roads made by number of bakers who
bid for business by underselling the
others.
The membership is now eighty-fve and
the purpose is to regulate business on a
basis to the best interests OF the majority.
The first move YVES to shut off on the
free pies and cakes that hurt the profits
All the members signed the compact and
adopted resolution TO fine all those who
violated the agreement $50 for each of
tense. In order to conduct the bakery
trade in accordance with businesslike
methods it was decided to call a meeting
of flour merchants and commission men
and establish a rule that no credit shall
extend over thirty days.

pleasant and profitable. At all of the
large hopyards in the State there is plenty
OF work to be done for six weeks or two
monIns, and those who have left the City
in past years have enjoyed the novelty OF
camp life and outdoor work.
Last year the free employment office
attached to the State Labor Bureau sent
hundreds OF people to the hopyards, and
the experiment proved success for those
who worked and those who employed.
While the wages were not large the pleas
ures of camp life more than made up the
compensation for those who otherwise
would have been unable to leave the City.
Whole families packed their blankets and
tents and went to the country, and nearly
all were sorry when the harvest season
was over.
This year the exodus of hop pickers
from the City promises to be larger than
ever The first order for this kind of labor
was received at the States Free Employ
ment Bureau yesterday. J. Il. burst, a
large landowner at Wheatland, Yuba
County, sent in an order for 500 pickers,
and Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald will
undertake to fill the order at once. The
wages offered this year are better than
last, 70 to 90 cents per 100 pounds being
the price. Men, women and children will
be accepted and sent to Wheatland as soon
as the hops are ready Tor picking, which
will be very soon.

the Justice Courts by a
Fair Client.

DIR. F. F. Lords suit against Mrs. Lottie
White developed some interesting points
In Justice Groezinger's court yesterday
DIR. Lord is dentist and Mrs. White was
formerly patient of his under the name
of Mrs. Dennis. AS she was about to be
married she desired to present as pleasant
a personal appearance as possible. Mrs.
Dennis applied to the dentist and re-
uuested him to remove rubber plug from
her teeth and replace it with one of gold.
The charge for the change was $50, ard
DR.. Lord, after doing as requested, refused
to allow the lady to leave his rooms until
he had received his money. As his coin
was not forthcoming, he insisted on his
patient going back into the dentists chair
and having the plug removed. Mrs. Den
mis- then went to another dentist to have
the work done and DR.. Lord sued for his
fee. The matter was taken under advise
ment, the Judge desiring some expert tes-
timony as to the value of tooth plugs.

HER CHRISTMAS.
Icopyright lsee, by the Author.l


II was a glorious Christmas morning,
and Miranda stood In the doorway and
watched the sun climbing over the snow
capped mountains.
She had risen early and hurried through
all her duties Long before her father
was up--for he was won't to sleep later
than usual on high day and holidays-she
had prepared the turkey and pudding and
set them aside, and had been to the dairy
for the cream and butter for breakfast.
Then she had dressed in her comeliest
gown and come and stood In the doorway.
Miranda, though, was not pretty even
at her best. She was tall, slightly built
and of almost an angular form, with fea-
lures characteristic of the part of the coun-
try In which she lived. Her home was In
the extreme western part of Maryland, in
the Allegheny Valleys or broad plateaus
known as 1.-THE Glades"
Here she and her father had lived and
farmed since she had been child. She
had never known any other section of the
state and the sparkling tumbling streams
which dashed past the house on their way
to either the Potomac or the Mississippi
seemed as though they were part and par
Gel of her.
At one time she had been considered the
sprightliest girl in all 1.-THE Glades And
there had been women who had envied
and hated her, and men who loved and
courted her, but she had simply judged
men and women alike, with q smile a
pleasant word, and passed them by This
Indifference, which both charmed and ex-
asperated at the same timo, she had allow
