has been named by President Me-
Kinley as a member of a commits
sion to codify the criminal and
penal laws of the United States.
The position is worth $4,000 d
year, and the work will probably
keep the commission busy for a
couple of years.
C. B. Perkins has sent in his
resignation as school trustee to
Miss Florence Bean, the county
superintendent. The Acantha re-
grets this action on the part of Mr..
Perkins. This district can not
afford to lose the services of so
competent a man. In the selec-
ton Of his successor it is to be
hoped that Miss Bean will not be
governed by politi al motives, but
will choose Il man OF women who
has an interest in the school, and
one who will give it some attention.

You nave been using green
teas-coated with poisonous Prus-
sian blue-and yet you live!
No! You simply exist. The
poison has paved the way for disease
and the charm of life has faded.
The Poisonous coloring on
the tea leaf is to blame. IT'S true
its trifling but you know Constant
dripping wears away the stone"
The NJ Y. Herald sounds the
warning when it declares as tine
result of its Investigations:
at is a startling fact that almost without
exception, the adulterated teas are danger
poisonous, especially the impure green teas
which contain copperas and Prussian blue"

THE FIRST STREET MUD HOLE.
Pressing Necessity for Paving in Front
Of the Police Station.

The recent rains have at least demon
strated the necessity for the paving of
First street from Broadway to Olive
streets, that thoroughfare being in a
most deplorable condition. When the
new police station was occupied the
chain gang was put to work on the street
and graded it between Hill and Broad
way it being the intention that surface
dressing of gravel should be Immediate
ly applied The gravel never material
ized, however, and each rainstorm this
season has but helped to make the mat
ter worse.
The rush of water down the hill
through the cut has worn great gulles
in the soft soil and at the same time
left large piles of adobe in places. A
number of teams daily use the street
going to and from police headquarters
and this traffic has cut up the surface
into a mush a foot or more deep.
Through this muss the patrol wagons,
each pulled by one antiquated equine
are hauled back and forth, answering
calls. The roadway is rapidly becoming
a mere quagmire and losing ground at
each storm, 1t being necessary to cart
off several wagonloads of soil from the
Broadway pavement, where it has
washed down.
1t Is doubtful whether the graveling
OF the street would effect any permanen;
benefit. because of the breaking away
Of masses Of earth from the sides of the
cut above. which are washed down and

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-Todays dealings
on the stock exchange were Of moderate
volume. but showed a broadening tendency
and there was net gain OF a fraction
generally throughout the list. The lower
priced stocks attracted special attention
this being particularly true Of Union Pa
cifc-which was bid up 1M per cent on ac-
tive trading by professionals. The ac-
tivity in Union Pacific was due to belief
among the traders that the property was
in some way to be a beneficiary Of the
operations In Northern Pacific, which
have attracted the largest share Of atten-
tion OF the market for several days past.
The precise range Of the powers and In
f1uences concerned in these operations is
not definitely known, but the reports that
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
Union Pacific were jointly endeavoring to
acquire all interest in Oregon Railway and
Navigation, though without explicit au-
thority. was the impelling motive for the
movement In Union Pacific. which led the
railway list in point Of activity. with sales
of 10200 shares closing at an advance of
one point.
Northern Pacific recovered from the
profit taking OF yesterday, became firm and
advanced N on the day. Oregon Naviga-
ton preferred also gained a point on ac-
count of the same reports. but lost the
advantage before the close. The usually
inactive st. Louis and San Francisco Sc
curities were prominent and scored a net
gain Of ~ on the first and second preferred
stocks, supposed to be due to activity by
the reorganization interests of the road
The dealings In the above named proper
ties contributed to the flrmness of the
market which was aided by the advance
In some leading shares. The efforts of the
bears against few properties proved of
no avail against the general market These
efforts were directed at the opening of the
market against sugar which sold down IL

in the differential tariff on refined sugar,
which would affect the protection of the
staple. The stock subsequently displayed
strength. however, on inquiry from short
interests and recovered point. The mar.
ket exhibited increased inactivity toward
the close. with final prices generally the
best; The upward movement in railway
bonds was resumed today. with purchases

The low point issues were the leaders IN

ties looming into prominence. The sales
were $2,24 .000. Governments were weak
and slightly lower on sales Of $4,000.

AN INCENTIVE TO VAdRANCY
The Good Samaritan Draws CriminaIs 10
the City
Chief Glass Talks About the Cheap
Lodging House-A Rendezvous for
the Worst Elements-Its Effects

Since the establishment in this city Of
the Good Samaritan refuge or lodging
hose on Upper Main street a great deal
has been said in favor of the scheme to
provide the unemployed with clean
bed and breakfast for S cents, and many
persons have expressed themselves as
satisfied that a more worthy and
practical charity does not exist. This
opinion is not shared, however, by Chief
of Police Glass and many Of his officers
who claim that the place is a menace
to the city in general, and while many
worthy men are doubtless aided over a
rough place by it, the tendency is to
draw to the city a crowd of loafers,
tramps, buns, thieves, etc.
Speaking of the matter the chief said
that he was convinced that the knowl-
edge that a person could secure lodging
and breakfast for the sum of 5 cents,
which had by this time been spread
abroad, had had the effect of drawing
In this direction hundreds Of hard char
acters who might otherwise not have
come. His officers had inspected the
place night after night and found be-
tween 800 and 400 men packed away.
many of whom were of the worst class. 1t
was an easy matter for hobo to go out
upon the streets and by begging Sc
cure the few cents sufficient to pay for
accommodations, and in the daytime the
free lunches set by the beer joints sup
piled subsistence.
Once inside the protecting walls Of
the refuge and the hobo Is safe from
arrest as vagrant. for is he not a guest
of the hotel having paid for acomoda-
tions? The next morning he is turned
loose to forage upon the community, to
beg, steal or rob. 1t Is only when one
of them accidentally tackles an officer
in citizens dress and solicits aims that
an arrest can be made. To the encour-
agement offered to the tough class to
congregate in this city the chief attrib-
utes much of the crime which has
been rampant recently, the assaults
hold-ups, burg aries, petty thefts, etc.
and while he does not criticise the mo-
tives of Captain Frazier or his coadju-
tors in the work. he stoutly maintains
that the scheme is all wrong, that to ad-
vertise this city as a haven of refuge
for the hobo where he may winter at
his leisure and at the minimum exer-
tion for accommodations and food is but
to invite crime and bloodshed. the fruits
of which have already been seen to some
extent
