YOUNG KRAMER CINCHED
The Trusty Who Passed the Pistol to
"Kid" Thompson

The dandified young prisoner Kramer,
who cut such an important figure in the
Colonel Tupper case in connection with
the willing accomplices, Harris and
Jenkins, is not going to receive any re-
lief from the supreme court. Yesterday
an opinion in his case was received from
San Francisco, in which the supreme
court holds that no act prejudicial to the
interests of the defendant were shown,
and the Judgment and order OF the trial
court is sustained. Attorney Oliver, who
was Kramer's counsel, raiaeG the point
that the jury during the taking of testi-
nony commented upon and argued about
the exhibits in the case.

Little Cakes and Lemonade

Lemonade is the best known and most
frequently used of all the summer
drinks. Under the high and mighty name
of King Ay" it is served by the South
ern housewife to her friends. To every
pint of boiling water add the juice of two
and the outer rind of three lemons, a
piece of dried orange peel and sugar to
taste; when quite cool serve in thin
glasses half full of cracked ice.
Milk lemonade is another southern
concoction which may we'll find its way
to the northern table. Dissolve one and
one-half pounds Of sugar in one quart of
boiling water, add one-quarter of a pint
of lemon juice and the same quantity of
sherry, lastly two-thirds of a pint of
cream. Stir well together and pour in
glasses half full of cracked ice.
Certain little cakes called cloves
wells" are usually served with these
lemonades, and they are as charming to
the eye as to the palate. They are made
by cutting rounds of poundcake about
an inch and half thick, with two and

FINEST OYSTER CROP IN YEARS
The Season Is Earlier This Year and
the Supply Plentiful

The most profitable season for oysters
for ten years opened this week
Never have the beds been more pro-
life; never have the rakes gathered in
such fine oysters. Bluepoints, Rock
aways and Saddle Rocks of eXtraordi-
nary size, in baskets. barrels and aban-
don heaps fill -he stalls.
In every oyter region of the United
States there is plenty after three years
of half~shell famine. But the best crops,
at the beginning of the season, have
been found in the reighborirg waters.
Not only are the oysters of this season
unusually big, but fatter and mere
savory.
The weather has made them so.
Warmth and gentle and plentiful rains
have cultivated prodigious crop and the
seeds of millions more. Contrary condi-
tions-storms and wash of sand-play
havoc with the oyster beds and fire.
quently cause the complete loss of a
planters income.
For the last three seasons oyster
planting has been the business of bank
ruptcy. But this year planters who
have invested as little as $3.50 for seed
oysters know their beds will yield at
least $4,000
This years crop is the earliest in many
years. The season is premature. And,
Notwithstanding that September is the
time prescribed for the opening of the
market the oyster boatslying at the foot
of Beekman street have alredy begun
their trafficking by memorandum with
the wholesale dealers.
The greatest Improvement in the size
and quality is shown in Bluepoints and
Rockaways. These are also the most
plentiful, and will be as cheap as were
inferior sorts during the previous season.

rock is about sixty feet high and broad

native chief, was chasing huge turtle,
when his game seemed to sink into the
rock. The lad watched and waited until

BROOkLAND CITIZENS,
They Meet and Discuss the Need Of
Rapid Transit Facilities.

Ahcy Neet Vnu D1eCu89 tine Nce0 OF
Rapid Transit Facilities.
There was good representation of the
citizens of Brookland last night at the
town hall to consider the advantages to
that locality of the proposed Gettysburg
electric railroad. DIR. Frank T. Howe was
elected chairman of the meeting and brief
ly explained the route of the proposed road
which would go through Brookland both on
18th and 18th streets. and is intended to
connect with the Columbia railway at II
street. Mr.. Murray explained that he had
learned from some of the proposed incor-
porators that 1t was the desire of the Com
missioners that this road should connect
with the Boulevard Maryland railway but
that every citizen of Brookland could see
how much more advantageous IT would be
If it should run through and join with the
H street line, which is already an estab-
lished rapid transit road Remarks were
made by Messrs. Lynch, Van Horn, Hol-
lidge and others, all expressing the idea
that 1t would be much better. If the road
is to be given charter. that ii should con-
meet with a District line rather than one
which is yet to be completed. 1t was stated
that If this road was built and the con-
nection made as desired, the people of
Brookland could get TO the treasury in
twenty minutes, instead of being compelled,
as now to use the unaccommodating horse
cars of the lexington road. A committee
of five, Of which the chairman of the meet
ing was named chairman the other
members being Messrs. Van Horn, Hollidge,
Murray and Lynch, was appointed, with
instructions to appear before the commit
tee of Congress when a hearing was given
in behalf of this road, and urge it's charter
as the wish of the citizens of Brookland.
This committee was also authorized to
draw up a petition expressing the wishes
of the citizens in that respect, and also
their desire that provision be Incorporated
in the bill that transfers from the proposed
road to the Columbia line should be given,
SO that only one fare to the city would be
charged.
Mr.. Charles G. Lynch then stated that a
hearing would be given to the citizens of
Broolsland in regard to the estimates made
by the District Commissioners for street
improvements in that locality by the House
District committee today, and he was ap-
pointed chairman of the committee, with
authority to select the other members, to
urge that all the appropriations asked for
might be granted. Considerable interest
was manifested by those present in the
many improvements needed in that locality,
and it is quite likely that the Brookland
Citizens Association will be revived and
made an active organization in short
time.
