customers has been the constant endeavor
of Young & Weisman, the proprietors of
this justly famous restaurant. While their
success mas troubled their competitors they
have continued to attract custom ers and
then to hold them by first-claSs service
and the best quality of food that the mar

freshness of their milk, cream, butter,
eggs and vegetables, they are produced on
the private ranch of the proprietors, and
their meats are furnished by Mr.. S. Solo

the Grill Room of the Palace Hotel by the
quality of meats which he has furnished
to that house. Pastry is not neglected at
the Creamerle, every article in the shape
OF bread, pies, cakes, ETC., used in the
house being produced on the premises, by
which means the supply is always fresh
and toothsome. The Creamerie's coffee
has reputation extending all over the
State, in fact every article on it's bill of fare
is noted for its perfection in preparation
and service.

ONLY NINETY DAYS MORE.
The City Hall Dome Must Be
Finished in the Next Three
Months.
A Heavy Penalty to BE Levied for
Further Delay = Bracing
the Statue.

The Board of City Hall Commissioners
has given O'Connell 81 Lewis, who are
building the dome on the hall, ueremptory
notice that that part of the structure must
be finished within ninety days or pen
atty of $3.50 for every twenty-four hours
over that time will be exacted.
The contractors have been granted ex-
tensions from time to time for several
months past and appeared yesterday with
their customary excuses. missioner
Creswell vigorously opposed the ninety
days extension asked and moved that
thirty days only be given and that the
contractors be warned that NO further
delay would be allowed on any considera-
ton.
Auditor Broderick counseled forbear-
ance, however. and said that he would
advocate another ninety days extension,
but nothing further.
The Mayor stood with the Auditor, but
Creswell would not give in and called
upon superintendent of Construction
Mells to say what had been done recently
to push the work along.
Mellis stated that for two or three weeks
! past not more than one or two men had
| been at work at time and that the work
was progressing very slowly.
WeII, times are hard, said the Auditor.
Give them ninety days more, with a
notice that they shall be required to finish
in that time if the dome fall down.
| When the vote was taken the Mayor and
Auditor voted in favor of the ninety DAYS
extension, while Creswell recorded his
vote IN the negative.
An intimation that a wrangle might
occur between the contractors and the
artist who is furnishing the statue came
when the matter of bracing the figure was
preached.
The contractors claimed that the work
should be done at the artists expense.
Architect Shea said that he thought the
work devolved on the contractors, and his
opinion was cOncurred in by Creswell

out, and, taking it to the works, played

Opening of the Preliminary Ex-

Low.
DISCUSSION ANENT a MASK.
Several Witnesses Give Interesting
Observation-Disclosures Not Yet
in the Tolls.

A strange. mixed crowd contributed its
varied quota to the wonted scenes of
Judge Conlan's courtroom yesterday at
the trial of the three men charged with
the Christmas robbery near the Ingleside
track. Strange to say, large number of
women were present amid the nondescript
throng, and one lady of distinguished ap-
pearance sat near the prisoners during the
entire session OF the court. No one seemed
to know who she was, and her pale face,
shrouded in its som bel drapery of widows
mourning, attracted no little attention,
both from its youthful beauty and its look
of deep ABSORPTION.

Conan having declined to sit in the case

NATIONAL WAR SCHOOLS
Military and Naval Cadet Life De-
scribed by Lieutenant W. r. Ham

Lieutenant ". R. Hamilton, q. S. A.,
professor Of military science at the Uni
versity of Nevada, lectured last night in
the \. NJ. c. A. auditorium unpon the
military and naval schools of the United
States. His pleasing descriptions of cadet
life and his variations of the customs of
the Nations schools of warfare were illus
trated with many stereoptIcon views of
scenes and incidents of peculiar interest
He spoke of the courses of instruction
together with the daily routine work from
the time the youth enters West Point, "a
beast" previous 10 his assignment
of uniform, until, having survived the
ignominy of being a "pleb" or first-year
man, he passes on up through the classes
and is graduated at the end of four years
Ii he be among the first five he may
choose any department OF the service-en-
cheering, cavalry, infantry, artillery and
so on. If he be in the next ten or more
according to the size of the class and the
positions available for new officers he may
choose any branch but engineering.

school, the grace and ease ac-

requisite 10 the complete training of the
officer The only exception to This rule IS

The cadets day begins at O'Clock in the
morning and ends at 10 o'clock at night,
when lights must be out in the rooms. No
pictures, no carpets, no wall decorations
are allowed, for all the cadets must be on
plan OF absolute equality, irrespective of
the means OF their parents
No spending money can be supplied
from nome, and very little Is allowed the
cadet from his annual salary of 500, from
which his expenses are deducted, while
the balance is reserved for him.
After graduation from West Point the
younE soldier may take postgraduate
work at one OF the several schools for that
purpose. At Fortress Monroe heavy ar
tiilerY is taught; at Fort 'Leavenworth
light artillery.
The naval cadet learns more practical
navigation IN one cruise than the ordinary
person could acquire in three years IN the
merchant service.
The West Point library contains between
10000 and $1,000 volumes and is the larg-
est military library in the United States.

The booksellers now awaiting a hearing

The case of Jerry Driscon was called in
Judge Joachimsen's court on Monday and
again yesterday. A motion for dismissal
made on Monday was denied, aud yester-
day the defendant asked for a continuance.
The reason given was that Attorney Peter

the following Friday.
Prosecuting Attorney Dare objected
strongly to continuance, but it was

 ''It is with pleasure I tell you that one days use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was relieved of very severe cold. My head was completely stopped up and l could not sleep at night. I can recommend this remedy" A cold nearly always starts in the head and afterwards extends to the throat and lungs.
