AFTER THE nSCALPERS'
Railroad Ticket Brokers Cham
pioned by Mayor
Phelan.
Tie Golden Gate C4rnival Committee
Wants Them Prevented From
Doing Business.

The ordinance prohibiting the sale OF
railroad and steamship tickets by brokers
was discussed at a special session of the
License and Order Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday morning.
The executive committee of the Golden
Gate carnival was present to urge that the
ordinance be recomme nded. The men,
bers stated that they desired TO secure
larger reductions from the railroad COM
panv for those who desired to attend the
carnival, and that the railroad was back
ward about making concessions as long as
the brokers were in business.
The ticket-brok rs asked The committee
to consider the matter we'll before acting.
Their attorney stated that the ordinance
ii passed would drive many out of busI-
ness, and that the railroad company need
not lear any "scalping" of excursion tick-
cts to and from ihe carnival, as the brok-
ers do not deal in tickets TO ana from To-
cal points.
Mayor Phelan was present, and stated
that he had ascertainsd that the business
of the brokers was principally in tickets
to Eastern poin 8. and that they save the
travelling public SIS, 600 per year.
He favored some measure that would
protect the railroad company from scalp
ing If excursion tickets to the carnival,
but Was av rse to any legislation that
would drive he brokers out of business.
The committee reached no conclusion in
the matter

MANY TIMES EXPLAINED.
Difficulty Experienced by Fair Young
Client in Understanding an Order
of Court.

Owing to patibility of tempera-
ment Messrs Hillyer d Jacobs have
sought to be relieved from their position
as attorneys for young woman who is
Administrative of the estate of her mother.
As is customary in such cases the at
torneys have filed written statement of
their services in order that the court may
understand the circumstances sufficiently
to fix a reasonab bic fee for the lawyers.
The affidavit was made out by Curtis
Hiilyer, a member OF the firm, and he
appears to have unconsciousIy given a
touch of humor to his statement. In the
schedule twenty-one dates are specified
on which the lady was in consultation
with her lawyers. 1t appeared that she
was i'm pa tient over the restrictions of the
law touching her management of the
property, and she specially resented the
order of the court, which her attorney
seemingly approved, which required the
cash on hand TO be deposited in pank, SUBJ
ject to order OF the Probate Court. For
this reason each interview with her at
torneys ended something like this: 'Ex-
planned why the administrative had no
right to spend her share of the estate be-
fore it was distributed 10 ner, she being
legatee; also why the court had ordered
Finally The young lady decided that she
wanted to get married, and she thought
she ought to have $500 to prepare for that
event. Her attorneys advised that her
mothers funerGt expenses would have to
be paid first: that wedding expenses were
not preferred claims. but that the law re-
lating TO preferred claims took cognizance
of funeral expenses only. AS usual, there
was an explanation OF the question OF
public policy, which led the court to order
all he mon y deposited in bank.
Finally Judge Coffey in whose court
the case was pending. sent for Mr.. HiIlyer
and said that mis- fair young client had
complained that she had no mon y with
which to prepare for her wedding, and
that besides she was starving. The court
suggested that as this is Lent she did not
require any great amount OF food, and
that as to the matrimonial question he
could find no provision in the code which
gave MN jurisdiction.
The young lady thought she could find
other lawyers would help her out OF
her predicamcnt, and, Messrs. JACOBS d
Htllyer acquiescing, the court gave her
permission to make change in accord
ance with her wish.

FOOD COFFEE.
DIDN'T LOOK FOR IT.

Words From Stranger Smo ed the
Way.
An elderly gentleman of fine presence
sat in the business office of one of the
largest grocery y-stores in an Eastern city
engaged in social converse with one of the
proprietors. They were old friends aud
were renewing the old friendship.
A salesman came into the office and
presented his business to the grocer, hand
ing him a card showing table set with
viands, while the words Postum Cereal.
and two red disks appeared underneath.
In q few words the salesman stated that
his firm was desirous of having the grocer
handle Postum in a large way. The
friend and visitor suddenly spoke up and
said. "Will, if you never sold that you
have missed good thing. We use
it ut home, and l have drunk it for four
months past in place of coffee because
coffee disas reed with me. People In my
town use the food-drink quite universally,
and you can depend on my word that it is
pure, nourishing and hellthful. 1t is
made in Battle Greek. Mich, wholly of
grains, and while it looks and tastes like
coffee mas none of the harmful effects of
coffee"
One can easily imagine that the good
words helped the sale man IN his intro
ductlon, and I'M pressed him with the
value of good name and reputation.
The above occurrence happened exactly
as given.

to root these fellows out of business.
A proposition was made to amend the
bylaws SO as to prohibit the mem bers of
the Produce Exchange from furnishing
any information as to quotations to the
bucket-shop sharks or answer questions
from these fellows by telephone. It was
poor time for bringing up proposition
for changing the bylaws, for the at
tendance was not so large as usual. owing
to the press of outside business. A vote
on the proposed amendment showed that
the majority OF those present were in
favor of this stringent rule, being 35 for
and only 10 against the change.
The reason that it failed to pass was De-
cause a quorum-50 MEMBERSHIPS not
present, and it requires a two-thirds ma
jority to amend the bylaws. The matter
will be brought up again to-day. and 1t
is expected that it will be passed by very
large vote.

In the case of Captain 'Goodell, master
pilot of the Union Transportation Com
pany's steamer Dauntless. charged with
improper conduct, and of trusting the
safety OF his passengers 10 an officer with
out certificate, Inspectors of Hulls and
Boilers Bolles and Phillips rendered the
following decision yesterday:
The charges were filed by Que Clifford B.
Manages March /, 1897, with additional
charges of misdemeanor on the part of Captain
Goodell in connection with above matter and
at other times.
After careful consideration of the evidence
taken, We find that Captain Goodell was neg
leedul of his duty in leaving the piot-house
in charge of an unlicensed man at different
times ut q particular point in the San Joaquin
River for the purpose of taking his lunch. In
extenuation of tnat Captain Goodeil pleads
that ne was away from the pilot-nouse only a
short time, and gave orders to be called by one
blast or toot OF the steam whistle 1T any thing
came in sight.
For reason OF the above neglect of duty on
the part of Captain George II. Gooden we
have suspended his license as master and
pilot of steam vessels for the period of five
l6. 1897
All the other charges of misbehavior ad-
yerted TO herein are not sustained by the
testimony, and the same are therefore dis
missed and Captain Goodeli exonerated there
from.

ment, and the Woman's Temperance
Union, which had postponed its confer
ence for the occasion, had sent large del
egation OF mem bers.

advocates a plan of campaign for the next
few months was outlined.
Rev. DR.. Bovard stated that H. H. Rus
sell, Ohio superintendent of the National
Anti-Saloon League, would spend June in
Cali. .ornia. and suggested that he should
sneak throughout the State under the au-
spices OF the State organization, and that
an Anti-Saloon Convention should be
held in this City on the 5th and 9th of
July. This dale was suggested in order
that Christian Endeavor delegates might
combine attendance at both conventions.
II think" said DIR. Bovard, ''if we hang
together we can make California feel the
power of this association"
1t was resolved to hold the convention
as DR.. Bovard suggested, and the hearty
cooperation of the State League was
fornja.

declared TO be 1.-The power that blocks the
church, obstructs missionary work and
wrecks homes"

which would overthrow the enemy.

account of the Sunday closing movement
in Oakland. and predicted that al the next
election the friends of the movement
would carry the polls.

City and County of Ssn Fran cisco, as we'll
as Alameda County. and expressed the
hope that in time all the counties through
out the State would be organized. After
considerable scussion it was resolved to
appoint committee to organize the City
and County of San Francisco, but as a
strong desire was expressed to secure the
cooperation of Catholics in the move
ment. the committee was empowered to
change its mem ners and add to its num-
beIs as the mem bers saw fit. The follow.

She was being sued by G. E. Brown. as

Comuany, for the ba ance due on an in
strument purchased and which she was
paying for out of the earnings OF her son.
The testimony showed that she had paid

pla ntiff would admit.
Mrs. Palma testified that she had sold
two pianos, the commissions on which
were sufficient, in addition 10 other serv-
ices rendered, to more than pay for the in
strument had bought.
Judge Groezinger took her view OF the

Does II Mean This?

LONDON, July 2S.-The Daily
Chronicle this morning dovotes an
editorial article to the dismissal OF
E. Benjamin Andrews from the
presidency of Brown university
which action it regards as the most
serious blow the capitalist oligarchy
has yet struck at social, economic
and intellectual liberty in America.
The Chronicle says: "There is
no doubt that, like Professor Bemis,
who was dismissed from the Uni
versity of Chicago, President An
drews was dismissed because he
warned his countrymen against the
great monopolies. 1t seems GER
tain that conflict is approaching
that will shake the Union as It was
shaken by the great slavery ques-
ton. It looks as though the splen'
did millionaire endowments OF
American universities had the I'M
worthy motive of the promotion OF
the interests of the monopolists.
We anticipate great wave OF
opinion against the pretension OF
the monopolist class as dangerous to
freedom. This movement will lead
to the substitution of public for
private control and ownership OF
the big trusts and monopolies and
the substitution of state for private
colleges and universities"
