INDIGNANT At OOCKERY,
A Milkman Who Says He Has
Been Done a Great
Injustice.
Posted as Evading the Inspection
Stations When in Reality 1t
Was q Misunders tanding

John Tamony a milkman who sells his
lacteal wares in this City, is indignant at
Chief Milk Inspector Dockery and has de-
mand ed an investigation at the hands OF
the Board OF Health of the matter OF
which be complains.
He says that he was posted as one OF
those who had refused to send his milk TO
the inspection stations, when as matter
of fact there was no one on hand to test
the milk when it was ready.
He states that the matter was explained
to Dockery and that the health official
seemed satisfied, but has ignored his
claims to vindication.
| Mr.. Tamony has consulted an attorney
and sent the following communication to
the Board OF Health:
| To the Honorable the Board of Heath of The
City and county Of San Franctsco-GENrLEMEN:
| On the 23d day OF March. 1897, an article ap-
peared in the morning papers of the City pur-
porting to be in substance the con-
| tents Of a circular issued from the
| dealing with certain dairymen of this City.
! and charging that they persistently refused to
submit the milk sold by them to the Health
| Inspector for inspection. Among those named
was John Tamony, the undersigned.
Being absent from the City on my ranch in
Sonoma County was unable to call upon Mr..
Dockery, the milk inspector, f0r cOrreCuon
of the charge, in so far as it related to me,
un til March 25, when learned from him that
my drivers did not submit my milk fOr inspec-
ton al station 8, Alabama street, on the after
| noon of March 49, / then explained to him
| that on that day the milk was inspected at the
| station on the morning of that day, and that
| my drivers then informed the milk inspector
| that 1t would not be inspected at the station
| any more, as my cows would be shipped to my
| ranch in Sonoma County that afternoon, and
that in the future the mi k would be inspected
| at the ferry. That the COWS were MIXED at
| the ferry wharf that afternoon before ship
| ment, and there being one there to inspect
| the milk, no blame could be attached to my
| self or drivers.
| The explanation seemed.sa tisfactory to Mr.
! Dockery, but he has failed and refused to
| make any correction OF the charge against me.
| Now 1T may be matter OF entire indiffer-
| ence to the Board of Health or its emp .oyes
how much injury dairyman may suffer by
| such charge, but to me, who has 10 depend
on the good will of my patrons for my success
in business. it is quite different matter.
| Therefore demand of your honorable board
! an inves tigation of the charges against me
and a retraction of the same. II upon the in
vestigauon l cannot prove that for the twelve
| years l have been in business always sup
| piled my customers with pure milk, then your
| board can name me as one OF the parties who
deserve to be watched. Respectfully yours,

Greathouse, who used to edit one of the
dailies here, has made for himself great
reputation in Korea.
Il am we'll acquainted with Mr.. Great
house. He holds the post of legal ad-
wiser to the King, and has been instru-
mental in Introducing some much-needed
and very beneficial reforms in the mode
of criminal procedure in the Korean
courts. In the recent trials OF certain Of
ficiaIs attainted of high treason General
Greathouse took q prominent part, and,
as a result, the corruption, injustice and
cruelty which marked the usual course OF
procedure in former days was abandoned,
and everything conducted in a manner
conducive to strict justice.
Having left Korea some time ago. /
hardly feel competent to speak concerning
the present state of affairs there. What
has come to me in correspondence has not
been of an alarming character. I never
regarded the flight of his Majesty to the
Russian legation as having the sensa-
tional significance which there has been
tendency TO attach to it. There was no
place in all Korea where the King wa. SO
utterly at the mercy OF the warning fac
tions as in his own palace. His personal
body-guard had been reduced to dis
heartened, insufficient contingent OF men,
his privacy utterly destroyed and his
position rendered unendurabe. Had it
not been for the faithfulness OF such
friends as General Dye some such step
as the flight might have been necessary
soon after the murder of the Queen.
At the time OF the Kings flight
l doubt very much if there was
any legation that was in po-
sition to receive and entertain him ex-
cept the Russian, though on this point |
am not informed However, the hegira
and residence in the Russian legation are
now thing OF the past, for the tele-
graphic dispatches inform us that the
King has returned To his palace. This
palace is a new one, which his Majesty
has erected in that part of Seoul occup pied
by the foreigners, and the palace grounds
adJoin those of the English and American
legations.

ordinarily there would be a lot of scram-
bling for it. Still the statesman WHO goes
to Korea must make up his mind that for
the first three or four years that he is
abroad he cannot keep in with his people
at home, politically speaking. and he may
get sidetracked. No man who has a good
paying law practice, or business man OF
large affairs, can afford to take it. Still
the expenses of entertaining are light.
There are no cnrios 10 buy. because the
Koreans are not artistic, and man if he
has an eye to the main chance can stow

Il doubt if Korea will be appropriated
by any one of the great powers. l think
it is recognized fact that the Koreans
are capable OF self-government If the dis
union and internecine strife of the great
clans can only be healed. So far Korea
has in remarkable manner escaped alb
sorption into the great empires adjacent.
Every dynasty for the last 1900 years that
has occupied the dragon throne of China
has sent its troops down into the penin-
sula to plunder and rob- but they have
never succeeded in absorbing the country
and people; japan also under the Taiko
300 years ago did the business once and for
all in such a thorough manner that the
country still bears the scars, but Korea
still remained a sovereign government.
There is every reason to believe the same
good fortune will attend her now. Korea

"There," said Brown, with shake of
his head,
"I've painted the house and the barn and
shedl
The fence has been fixed, and the lawns
been moved,
But l do wish the town would fix up
that road.
It's shame, call it, just plain and fat,
thatl
I'll wait no longer; I'll start to oday
And fix my part of it anyway"
Now Brown was one of those fellows
who,
When they start thing, just "rush it
through"
And week or two after, as Neighbor
Jones
Was driving home with his pair of roans,
Browns road was dry, while his own,
next door.
Was mud to the depth of foot or more.
"By George" said Jones, "I'll let Brown
see
That can build roads as well as hel'
Now Neighbor Smith, who lived below,
Saw Jones repairing his road, and SO
He fixed up his, to be sin the game"
And Neighbor Robinson did the same,
And soon every householder in town
Was trying his best to s'beat out Brown" /"
And now, when the town committee
meets
To talk of the roads, they call them
"streets."
The moral this tale to the reader brings
Applies to roads and to other things.
Reforms, like snowballs, will keep ON
growing
Ifsomebody only set& them going.

A Correction.

Some kind friends who attended Salem
Church on Sunday morning April 25tb.
reported Rev. F. L. Jewett as saying
that Baptist Church, where he had
been stationed was in favor of saloons.
This is an injustice to Rev. Mr.. Jewett
and the facts as stated were as follows.
In speaking of the moral influence a
church once had in a place. he said he
once knew of Baptist Church being so
poorly supported it was compelled to
close up, In about a years time the
place had become so nearly depopulated
that even the saloon keeper realized the
loss to the community by the closing of
the church. And it was fact that in
order to save themselves and business
the church was reopened and supported
by unbelievers and saloon keepers in
order to prevent the place from becom-
ing forsaken. We have heard of some
instances where it has been claimed
black was white and this seems to be a
parallel case and we heartily coincide
with the saloon keeper in this particular
case. Deprive us of our churches and
our liberty is not worth much. May
they flourish a thousand fold

who is enjoying aFbrief vacation at his
old home in Marysville, Ohio, the services
at the Presbyterian Church Sunday
evening were conducted by Mr.. Elias
Campbell, who is licensed exhorter OF
Salem M. E. Church. Mr.. Campbell is an
earnest speaker and delivered very
interesting discourse from the words OF
Paul, $50 Run That Ye May Obtain y
which be applied to the present day lives
of Christians. He referred to the ancient
custom of sports, similar to those of the
present time, dN cling especially upon
the habit of running races for prizes, and
urged his hearers to SO run the race of
life as to obtain the crown of glory,
which all may secure. Mr.. Campbell
also officiated at Absecon in the morn
ing
