MANY NEW RESIDENCES
A Positive Indication of the City's
Growth

A fair idea of the extent Of building oper-
ations going on in this city may be gained
at the Bartlett Music house, where large
number of fancy upright pianos are stored
away in one corner of the sales room, Sc
curely covered with dust-proof rubber
covers. All these instruments were sold
to people who are building new residences
in various parts of the city and who have
avaied themselves of the opportunity dur
ing the firms alteration sale to buy fine
piano at a great saving in price, preferring
to have the pianos stored for a period of
all the way from four weeks to four
months, until their homes are completed to
receive them. Among the lot is one beau
tiful mahogany Steinway upright, one
fancy Weber piano in mottled walnut case,
and no less than five handsome new scale
Kimball pianos, together with several me-
dunn grade Instruments.

OUT OF THE WAY
A Defendant of Whom the Law Of
ficers Lost Track

A Defendant of Whom the Law Of
fcers Lost Track
One Henry Wood has been alternating
in the county Jail since about March 23d
to date, forgetting the world and by the
world forgot" Yesterday morning a
good-natured attorney made a motion
in department one that Wood be dis
charged from custody, as no information
had been filed against him, and in so do
ing provoked an investigation.
1t developed that man named Henry
Wood had been examined before Justice
Witherill at Redondo on the charge of
robbing an old soldier named John d.
Rowse, and had been held to answer in
the sum of $1,000.
When the papers in the case were
searched out it appeared that the old
soldier, Rowse, went on a spree at Re
dondo with little money and plug of
tobacco in his pocket When he awoke
next morning he found he was minus
the money and tobacco, but had fine
head. A little later it was discovered
that the man Wood possessed both the
money and tobacco. and upon such a
showing Wood was arrested. At the pre-
liminary examination very little light
was cast upon the robbery, albeit Wood
was held to answer.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
conducted the prosecution, and upon
questioning the old man Rowse, he
asked:
do you know the defendant"
mo, sir; don't"
"You don't know whether you ever
saw him before in your life at all?"
81 could not swear that did"
"What was the matter with you?"
"I was tight
Ibid you see any body on the face of
the mortal earth when you were tight p"
mo, SIR
The prosecutor called Old Soldier
Rowse's attention to the fact that Henry
Wood had been arrested for robbing him
of $25
"All know about it is" answered the
old soldier that the next day was told
that this man was arrested with two
bills-a twenty-dollar bill and a five
dollar bill-that 1 got changed at Billy
Bowen's."
A saloc. Keeper named Bowen was
called and he told how Old Soldier
Rowse visited his place, bought drinks
and got gold and silver exchanged for
paper money. The next morning the
defendant, Wood, strolled in and passed
a five-dollar bill over the counter The
liquor dispenser could not recognize the
bill, but it looked like the one given to
Rowse.
E. P. Maxey, chief of police az Re-
dondo, testified to having arrested Wood
and finding the money and plug of to-
bacco upon his person. The prisoner
then stated that the old soldier had given
him the plug of tobacco. Rowse tried to
identify the plug but, as might be ar
ticipated, was not eminently successful
The defendant made no defense, and the
only evidence against Wood was of the
thinnest possible kind, amounting to
little better than a suspicion.

THE nAkER
OF Deviled Crabs Asks a Question

The following correspondence be-
tween Mr.. McMenamin, the well known
producer of Theoretically sealed sea
food, of Hampton, Va, and the Postum
Cereal company, may interest some, as
it touches point upon which there have
been some queries.
CHAMPION, ,Va.-Postum Cereal Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich: Gentlemen-Re-
plying to your letter 1 beg to say that
ycur health coffee has flavor, SO far as
l can remember, of the best coffee, and
this coffee flavor was so pronounced that
1 suspected that coffee was mixed with
the other grains. 1 served it to some
of my guests without telling them what
it was. and they pronounced it very
excellent coffee. One of them was
coffee drinker who had to have it three
times day. I would like to know if
there is any coffee in it. Very truly
yours, James McMenamin."
BATTLE CREEK, Mich.-Mr.Jam
McMenamin, Hampton. Va: Dear ST.
We have your esteemed favor of the
2Sth, and in reply to your inquiry as
to the ingredients will say that we are
willing to stake every penny that we
can get together that Postum not only

composed strictly and entirely of pure
cereals of the field, the greater portion
being the various parts of wheat. 1t
took us nearly a year of experimenting
to produce Postum, the health coffee.
It is an easy matter to make weak
sort of drink from Drowned rye, wheat
or malt, but to produce a liquid from
the cereals that has the color, taste and
nourishing properties of our present
product, taxed our best energies and
that Of one of the most expert analyti-
cal chemists in America.
I'VE fel. a desire to demonstrate the
principle that a mans drink at meals
should be made from grains, without
any sort of adulteration or chemical
preparation, aside from simple cooking.
| 1t may be further explained that in
order to produce Postum the cereals
are cooked in different ways and the
final mixing of the proper proportions
is what gives us the desired result.
There is no possible argument that
can be brought forward that will raise
| the question for moment regarding
the fixed fact of the healthful, noursh-
ing and fattening properties of the cere-
ais furnished by the AllWise Creator
for mans natural use. We thank you
for your kind letter. Yours respectful

ready tried once, a verdict having been
returned by jury in October, 1895, in
favor of the plaintiff for $3000 The case
was appealed and the supreme court
held the question Of general competency
on the part of the motorman on the car
ought not to have been raised, and that
ordinary care was all that could be de-
manded from the employees, for the rea-
son that the competency of the particu-
lar servant had not been impugned in
