Pootroom PrOpriefors

SAUSALITO. CAL, June 2S.-The hear
ing of George w. Smiths application for
a temporary injunction to restrain Hughes
& Co. from conducting a poolroom on
property leased from Smith came up to-
day in the Superior Court at San Rafael.
b ut was continued until Thursday morn
ing.
The sensational feature of to-day's pro.
ceedincs was the statement that Smith
mad come to the defendants on SATURDAY
night and told them that certain persons
had frightened him into bringing the
action; that it was his desire to with
draw, and that he would do so. He
asserted to them, so it was bronght out
to-day, that unless he did bring this suit
they would arrest him.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 9.-It is ex-
pected that strong pressure will be
needed to overcome the resistance of
the Turkish government to the retro
cession of Thessaly. Reports that
Great Britain is opposing on religious
grounds Turkeys retention of Thesssly
are being circulated here with the view
of exciting Mussulman fanaticism. The
powers contend that, as they guarantee
the integrity of Turkey, the latter must
respect the integrity of others. 1t now
rests with the Turkish government as
to whether peace will be concluded
speedily or not, and it is believed the
Sultan will resist so long as possible.

Woman Mad in the Woods.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, June o.
Farmers living near Lick, post office
three miles from Elkins, have seen 3
wild woman, as they supposed her to
be, running through their fields. On
several occasions she has been pursued,
and escaped. She leaped fences like a
deer, land at night could be heard making
the most hideous noises, resembling the
bark of dog or fox. Several parties from
Elkins have secured the woods where
she has been seen, but none have sue
ceeded in capturing her, although they
have seen her. A few days ago man
and girl about seventeen years of age
got of train and the girls actions
caused some comment, but nothing was
thought of it. During the night the
landlady of the hotel where they stop
ped, IS we'll as the ncighbors, claim
that the girl kept up peculiar noise
almost continuously till daylight. On
Saturday the couple left the hotel, and
nothing has been heard of them since.
She is believed to be the mad woman.

WORKING PEOPLE cannot live on
bread alone. They must have meat.
1t may be evidence Of the supremest
wisdom to reduce or suspend their
wages and at the same time to raise the
price of meat, but if SO, they at least
don't think it is. But that Is just e1-
actly what the high tariff and the pro-
posed higher tariff have done for them.
However, as the votes of the working
men of the North and West, with their
eyes open, elected a high tariff Presi-
dent and Congress, such men ought to
stand the recent rise in the price Of
beef without complaint; and possibly
they may be able to do so. as many OF
them can now afford to be on strikes,
and as the striking tailors in New York
have money enough to go Oh picnics
Unfortunately, those in this section OF
the country, who voted for a low tariff
President and Congress, do have cause to
complain of the increased cost OF
meat, and can i'll afford either strike
or picnics.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1897

THE ex-Confederate association al
Admission, Ala, protests against the IN
vitstion to the G. A. R, to attend the
proposed ex- Confederate reunion at
Nashville. Their protest is not at all
unnatural, let alone surprising, IN
view of the facts that the u
A. R.. not satisfied with the In
correct and one sided Northern school
histories of the war between the States
hos directed that one be written Tor
the especial purposes of teaching the
children of the North that the Coined
crates were rebels and traitors who
deserve the reproach of both man and
God. the chief of which has expressed
the hope that the heart, brain and
hand of the man who proposed to return
the surrendered Confederate flags to
their respective States might be para
lived. and which has declared that 1t
will march in no procession in which a
Confederate flag is seen. AS long as
such feelings dominate the G. A. b.,
not the protests of ex-Confederates
but the self respect of its own members
should efectually exclude them from
all Confederate reunions. OF the feel
ing that induces ex-Confederates to in
yite the G. A. R. to participate with
them in their revivals of the
memories of their terrible misfortunes,
the least said the better.

THE REPUBLICAN members of the U.
S. Senate held caucus yesterday, set
tied their difference in respect of the
new tariff bill, and determined to cast
q solid vote in support of that bill.
Judging from the divided vote of the
democratic members of the Senate. it
wouldn't be considered unwise, by
democrats who are not members of that
body, if the former should follow the
example of their republican colleagues.
But they won't do 80. Democrats, not
republicans, refuse to support their
party if all its policies do not suit their
individual whims. and vainly i'm.
agine that they are better than their
party.
