Editor Y. G. Hush, aged IL years, and
Business Manager w. f. R. Hush. aged 10.
The name of this paper. which is published
bi-monthly, is The Hustler, and it de-
serves its name.
The ambition of the Hush brothers is to
issue paper that will grow with the dis
trict OF Fruitvale. When it started its
pages only measured two inches by four,
but it was soon forced to increase TO a
sheet double that size. Although not
more than seven months old the Hustler
is now quite pretentious two-column,
four-page paper.
The three proprletors are the children of
Valentine Hush, the Fruitvale capitalist,
and all are attending school. They do all
the typesetting and printing besides being
editors and business managers, and in all
branches they make success.
I'VE have already got the paper on a
paying basis" said the 10-year-old busi-
ness manager to-day, 'and as the profit
increases we add to the size of the paper.
We now print an edition of $50 and ex-
change with several Eastern periodicals.
Our idea is to grow up with Fruitvale, and
we are very generously patronized. We
do not expect to drive out the San Fran
cisco and Oakland papers Just yet. but we
are desirous of being neard from. and shall
reach out for all that is in sight in a
legitimate way"
Editor W. w. Hush realizes the response
bilities of his position, but handles the
editorial pen with marked justice and i'm
partiality. 1--WE are not here to usurp any
authority or to delegate to ourselves a
censorship over the various political par
ties. We do not have any idea that our
voice will have any marked effect on the
hon nf tho nna W ha
mated for President, but in our columns
can be found some Of the youthful literary
talent of this rising district. This of course
is our stock in trade, and the events of the
outside world pale into insignificance be-
fore the happenings of Fruitvale We are
working on the principle contained in the
motto of the Hustler, Little strokes fell
great oaks.
Under the leading editorial the boy
editor wrote as follows after, it is evident,
receiving encouragement for the Hustler
from his school teacher:
We want to thank the worthy principal of
the Garfield School for her very Kind words,
'Great things have come from smaller begin
nings," as well as her subscription for year.
Mrs. Gibbs has been at the head of the Garfield
School for the past nine years and many of us
boys feel we owe her q great deal for her wise
counsel and beautiful example.
Assistant Editor V. G. Hush attends
to the news and the features when he is
not setting type. When news is scarce he
prints poetry and this week there appears
an original contribution on "The Clouds -
which fills just one column.
The request is made Exchanges will
please send three copies" When asked
whether this was intended as a joke or
whether the request is serious the business
manager stated that it was made in good
faith. I'VE each have our own files he
said, land you know how unpleasant it is
to have any clash between the business
and editorial departments" The Hustler
is certainly hustling.

by Veteran Soldiers of Washington
for Guarding the Flag.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9O6 Broadway, March 25.
On Washington's birthday the members
of the Boys Brigade of Oakland saw a
National flag suspended on Broadway, on
which was printed an advertisement. Be-
ing contrary to law, Lieutenant Bird or

are satisfied that the honor of that old flag
under whose folds we marched to many

never a desecration be allowed on even one
star or stripe, and that we would be glad to
take every one of those noble young men by
the hand and give them an old veterans bless

TOM KELLY'S GOOD LUCK
He Has Stood Off the Peoples
Attorney for Over Eigh-
teen Months.
His Success With PostponementS Is
Having a Bad Effect on
Others.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
908 Broadway. March 25. (

Jus Broadway, March 70. J
A case will be called tomorrow in the
Superior Court that has attracted consid-
cradle attention. 1t is the case of Tom
Kelly of the notorious Fish gang of West
Oakland. in August, 1894, Tom Kelly was
held to answer in the Police Court for an
assault with deadly weapon on an Italian
fisherman. The evidence was considered
to be particularly strong and the informa-
ton was lodged against Kelly by the Dis
trict Attorneys Office, as shown by the
records on August %, 1894.
Several times the case has been set for
trial, but it has always been continued.
Sometimes it has been apparently forgot
ten for few months and then it is re-
manded for few weeks ''to be reset" Mr..
Kelly has received more favors from the
District Attorneys office than any other
defendant whose name appears on the
records.
Several weeks ago the case came up and
was set for March 26. The special attor-
ney for the prosecution has not been noti-
fed by the District Attorneys Office. and
it is not likely that Mr.. Kelly will be tried
tomorrow.
The effect of this laxness in the admin
istration of justice is noticed in the in
creased number of depredations COM
mltted by the various gangs In West Oak
land. A few days ago five of them set on
defenseless man because he refused to
lend them his boat. All the miscreants are
in the City Prison, and many other men,
bers of the gang have secured short SEN
tences, but the Police Department are
somewhat discouraged by the treatment
they receive from those who should carry
the cases to the higher court. The mem
bers of the gangs are all more or less promi-
nent at the polls at election time and are
said to possess a pull" "

To Avoid Writer'S Cramp.

No one will suffer from writer's cramp
who will exhibit sufficient courage to
ignore the established methods of holding
the pen or pencil and instead of using the
two front fingers and thumb place the pen
between the first and second fingers. and
use the third and fourth for rest It is
most convenient to write back-handed or
upright hand in this way. but with little
practice almost any kind of style can be
adopted. The intense strain on the mus
cles of the first two fingers and the sympa-
tnetic nerves in the hand and arm is thus
removed.

The management seems absolutely GER
tain that the financial end of the under

that the one thing which will determine
whether another trip is practicable at this
