Hence epilepsy, which in those days

his description Of the Pythian priest

at cannot be too often repeated. until it

novate Is not to REFORM "-BURKE
The proverb that serves as the caption
OF this article is as true today as when ut
tered in the heat of debate by the British
statesman. and ofttimes it receives curious
exempliflcation.
For many months past, at greater or
lesser intervals, the notorious purieus of
Alameda street have been brought forcibly
and directly under the public notice.
1t is an unsavory subject for discus sion,
but the Ministerial union of the city
clamored for reform and the police COM
mssioners inaugurated a course of action
the intent of which was supposed to tend
in that direction.
Today most curious state of things ex-
lists in that region abutting on Alameda
street, which has been as popularity as
infamously known by the title of Little
Paree."
A few months ago, when public clamor,
as voiced by the Ministerial union, de-
manded an abatement of the open profi-
gacy, the hideous business of pandering to
the baser passions of men was carried on
by several individuals. As result of that
agitation and the consequent action of the
police commissioners, one man holds
sway over Little Parcel and rules the
little kingdom with the absolutism of "a

A GRINDING AND SINFUL MONOPOI V

However that may be, the fact remains
that today, as the result of a prolonged,
and however necessary, most nauseatinR
agitation, two men hold control on Ala
media street-Theodore Bauer in Little
Paree" proper, and Jean Lennert, over the
be confessed that SO far the ''innovation"
made has scarcely been in the nature of q
reform" but has resulted in concentrat-
ing the power for evil in fewer hands, and
the institution of something very like
monopoly or trust in human flesh.
While this state of things is curious
enough in its relation to the public, the
evil is seen to be still further accentuated
by looking under the surface. Bauer
leased his property from the Shafer BROTH
ers at a rental of $1,000 per month for the
first two years; $l400 per month the Sec
ond term of two years, and $500 per
month for the fifth and last year of his
lease. For building, furnishing. ETC., he is
said to be out of pocket about $4,000,
and although that seems an exorbitant
value, those figures may be received. He
receives W per day for each of the cribs
rented, and every tenant is further mulct-
ed in the sum of 20 cents per
cribs in his possession at present fully
rented he would have an income of $780,
312 per annum, which sum would be
further swelled by $13,7o0.2O eXtorted
from the white slaves who must, per force,
eat in his restaurant. The lease rental of
the property amounts to $l4 400 this year,
and with the $4,000 alleged TO have been
expended in building. furnishing, etc.,
makes an aggregate sum of $26. 400. In
asmuch as the meals served in the restau-
rant are no better than are served else
where in the city for about half the money
it is not unfair to say they actually cost to
serve, say 20 cents each. This means an
outlay in the year of $7S62.4O, making a
grand total Of expenditures of S34,262.4O,
as compared with an income of $53 ,O7l.2O.
Thus after wiping out the initial expense
