THE WEATHER AND THE FRUIT MARKET.

The cold. rainy, unreasonable weather last week
had an extremely uniavOrablc effect on the fruit

INVESTIGATING RAINES LAW HOTELS.

INVESTIGATING RAINES LAW HOIELS.
The police captains were engaged yesterday in
completing their Investigations into the conditions
Of all OF the so-caled Raines law hotels In their
several precincts according to instruction from
Chief Conlin. These Investigations were begun last
week and orders were that the commanding Off
GERS should undertake and pursue them personally
For the purpose of placing on record all or the
Raines law hotels and the exact character of each
the captains were furnished with blank returns.
upon which are spaces for the various specinca-
tons called for When all of the blanks are filled

every such hotel I'm the city, the name OF It's pro-
prieor or licensee the number of rooms. the Size

situation of the bGrrooms in each ana other stats
tics concerning them which viii be OF value when
occasion may arise for reference.
II Is thought that these returns Will be in read-
moss for submission to the Chief early In the pres
ent week The labor of collecting the information
desired has been considerable. for each captain has
been compelled 10 gather the statistics carefully
and thoroughly. and has been obliged TO make all
measurements of the premises under observation
himself .
No especial instructions were given the police
relative to the enforcement of the Liquor Tax law
Yesterday. but the police were vigant IN arresting
such viCators Of the law they could secure evt-
dence against. There was no lack of opportunity
TO purchase liquor at any OF the hotels In the Diff
ferent parts of the town.
The number OF excise arrests Yesterday was
forty-eight. On the previous Sunday there were

CARING FOR PENSIONERS.
Uncle Sam Will Have to Appoint a Spe-
cial Agent for Their Accom-
mediation.


1t will not be long before Uncle Sam will
be compelled to employ special commits
sioDer to care for the interests of the PEN
sioners in San Francisco.
The list OF incapacitated pensioners in
creases constantly, and there are now over
a hundred veterans and widows of veter-
ans in this City who are physically unable
to appear in the Office of the County Clerk
for the purpose OF swearing to their
claims
No provision is made by the Government
for taking the oaths of pensioners except
in the office of the County Clerk or in the
office of some other legally authorized pub
lie functionary, and consequently many
applications are made to Depu ty County
Clerk ]. B. Mulcahy for his atten dance at
the residences OF the pensioners in order
that they may be sworn. Without that
formality they would not be in position
to draw even the small stipend to which
they are entitled. In order to accommo-
date the veterans Mr.. Mulcahy has been
in the habit of going to their homes be-
fore and after business hours. He SAYS
that if the list of inca pacitated pension
ers continues to grow in the future as it
has in the immediate past he will have
more of that kind of work than he can
attend to. Then the Government will be
called on to supply special agent to at
tend to the wants of its superannuated
DensiOners.
