SHOULD BE DENIED

The matter of granting license for a
saloon in the armory building will come
before the board of police commission
ers next Tuesday, when final decision
will probably be reached.
The Herald cannot believe that the
commission will be so injudicious as to
grant the application for the license
1t would be against the public morals
and against public sentiment to do So.
and it would unquestionably injure
the morals of the National guard.
The officers of the guard have pro-
tested against the granting of the
license, and it is not within tn :
bounds of reason to suppose that the
rank and file think differently from their
superiors. The members of the National
guard are a fine class of young men,
with a high sense of duty and pro-
priety.
The thirst of the neighborhood will not
suffer if the application is denied, as
there are already four saloons within
block of the armory building. In
short, there is every reason against and
therefore none in favor of granting the
license in the armory building.

Jerome K. Jerome recently gave a harvest home supper to the farmers in the vicinity of Gould's Grove, Ox- fordshire, England. After supper two of the guests were overheard ar guing as to what had made MT. Je- nome famous. 'He writes books" !" said one, definitely. ''No he don't" :" was the contemptuous retort; The rowed three men in a boat and then won the race; that's what he's noted for.''
 Prof. Jowett was quaint and some what brusque in his speech. On one occasion when JeX Blake, formerly master of Rugby and then dean of Wells, was talking very prosily, Jow- cit said. "I have for long time known that law comes of lex, but I never knew til TOW that .aw-oomes from jex."

SOLDIERS RIGHTS
Recruits Object to Work at House
. Cleaning

OMAHA, Neb., June 1S-W. o. Pat
rick has been called to Fort Crook, to
obtain, if possible, by legal process the
release of five enlisted men who had
been sentenced to thirty days in the
guard house. According to the story told
by the soldiers who came up and en-
gagged the services of the attorney, the
privates were detailed few days ago
to proceed to the house of the company
commander and clean it from top to
bottom. The work was performed under
protest, and when completed the men
requested the privilege of laying their
alleged grievances before the command
ing officer of the post. This was refused
by the company commander, who sent
all the men to the guard house. They
were tried by the post court and SER
fenced to thirty days in the guard house
and to forfeit SO pay.
Friends Of the imprisoned men have
retained the attorney for the purpose
of having the question whether the en-
listed men can be compelled to act as
servants of the officers settled. 1t Is the
intention of the attorney to commence
proceedings In the Federal Court. in or
der to bring about the release Of his
clients. Privates at Fort Crook are
much excited over the affair.

the intention of givingathem trial of
two miles, but was deprived of the op-

steamers. The two principal Cornell
crews rowed leisurely up the river at a
pace of twenty eight strokes minute,
two miles above the bridge. Then
Courtney started the crews on a race
down stream. the tide being at full ebb.
They rowed at a rafting pace of from
thirty-three to thirty-five to the minute,

three open lengths, but both boatssoon.

The Harvard Varsity took only a
short row this evening, doing ten or
twelve short stretches of not over two
minutes each. 1t is an open secret that
the crimson has already done the four
miles in considerably less than four min
utes. Notwithstanding this fact, If Cor
nell and Harvard were to row a race

portant Testimony

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S-The Hoff-
man inquest was resumed this morning
and a number of witnesses examined
by Coroner Hawkins, but no new light
was thrown upon the mystery surround
ing the death Of the Battery-street mer-
chant, their testimony for the most
part being collateral. DR.. John Gala

the body of the deceased. stated that in

it was very improbable that they were.
while the third could not possibly have
been. DR.. Morgan confirmed this opin-
ion.
Mrs. Dora Hoffman, widow Of the de-

the effect that her husband had left
home on the morning of June 1st in his
usual frame of mind, and that while
he was not on good terms with her
mother, Mrs. Alexander, because she
wanted to withdraw money from the
firm, his relations with her were allthat
could be desired. She explained the
letters she had written to her husband
and the letter TO her uncle, which had
fallen into her husbands hands, and in
sisted that the matter had been salts
factorily settled three months ago. On
the night Of his death she waited for her
husband until $780, and, not being able
to reach him by telephone, sent the nurse
girl down to the office to ascertain why
he was SO late.

saw Figel on the ferry-bound car at 624
on the evening of June 1st, and subse-
