SAMPLE PACKAGES.
A Nuisance That Should be For-
ever Prohibited.

Certain persons are engaged in
throwing about residence doorsteps
sample packages of pepper for adver-
t.sing purposes. If the heads of houses
would horsewhip every man they de-
tect throwing sample packages of pills,
soap, pepper and other things into their
yards, the practice would soon cease.
Yesterday citizen demonstrated with
one of these persons against leaving
packages of pepper where children
might get hold of them. After he left
his home the man who was ''bossing
the job sent one of his carriers to
that citizens house and had him throw
two packages Of pepper into the front
yard A few minutes later a little child
of the family got hold of one of the
packages, and was about to take the
contents into it's mouth when discov-
cred by It's mother. Had the child
taken the pepper 1t would perhaps
have been strangled to death or thrown
into convulsions.
A few years ago this same custom was
carried on here. but was so severely
condemned by the Record Union that
it was broken up. At that time a little
girl picked up package containing
nine liver pills Several doses for an
adult), and swallowed seven of them
before she was discovered With diff
Guilty the infants life was saved
If there is no ordinance prohibiting
this sample-package nuisance, the City
Trustees would do well to pass one In
the meantime the package deliverers
can be kicked into the street

CURE FOR ASTHMA.
Discovery of Leading Physician
A Public Test VIII be Made To-day
at Otis Drug Store.

All day to-day free sample packages
of the celebrated .Schiffmann's Asth-
ma Cure will be given away at Fran
els S. Otis drug store, 200 K street
The doctor wants each sufferer from
Asthma, Hay Fever or Bronchitis in
this city to call and get one. When
asked regarding his reasons for giving
his remedy away in this manner. he
said: People are naturally skeptical
about an asthma remedy, and when you
consider the number of so-called
cures on the market you can hardly
blame them. Now I claim that my
Cure cures. 1t will instantly relieve
the most violent attacks 1t has per-
manently cured thousands who had
been considered incurable. If l did not
believe it why should I be giving it
away? The sufferer who gets a sample
package can tell in two minutes
whether it is as I represent it, and it
doesn't cost him cent. That is fair,
isn't it?''
1t certainly does not seem that any
thing could be fairer. Those living out
of town can get a free sample by writ
ing their name and address (only) on
a post card addressed DR.. r. Schiff-
mann, 315 Rosabel street, ST. Paul,

Good Boxing Contests at the Old
Pavilion Last Evening.

The Sacramento Athletic Club gave
a good exhibition last night, boxing
being the program. There were several
preliminary contests before the main
event of the evening, which was the
eight-round match between Frank
Denny and Al Patrick. feather weights.
Maloney and McGraw opened i'll a
three-round go, Maloney having slight
ly the best of it, though honors were
pretty even.
Hellman and Sehwallenberg gave a
good exhibition. Both are clever duck
ers. They showed some pretty good
leading.
Thomas Silverthorn of San Francisco
met Eugene Pendergast of Sacramento.
The first round was not very import
ant, as each man seemed to be study
ing his opponent. The men were both
clever, but Pendergast was more sue
cessful in his landing.
Professor Johnson of the club met Mr.
Gray in a clever exhibition. Both men
did some very pretty work.
Delano and Krutschnitt, lightweights,
were the last boxers before the eight
round contest Their work was swift
and very interesting; honors about
even.
Denny and Patrick wasted on time,
as each had a strong idea that he could
put the other to sleep; so the fight open
ed up With a rush. Julius Elliott was
referee and John Berger was time
keeper.
The men are feather weights, though
Denny is much taller and longer in the
arms This advantage he used from
the outset. He did more leading and
harder landing all the way through,
though Patrick pounded his opponent
pretty we'll over the heart in the
fourth round In return for this he got
some keen jabs in the face, though Pat
rick drew first claret.
The fifth round was one of the liveli-
est. In this 1t seemed for a time that
Patrick might have a chance to get
his opponent to reeling, but he did not
swing his right or follow up his ad-
vantages. As a result. he was soon
crowded to the ropes and the round
ceased with several sounding blows in
his face as a memento.
In the sixth and seventh it was evil
dent that both men lacked steam, but
they went at it in the eighth with a
vim. Take it all around, it was an
exciting fight. The spectators felt that
they had seen a real spirited amateur
contest. That both men had grit and
spirit there was not question, but
both lacked force TO do much execu-
ton. While Denny got the decision on
points, it was by no means evident that
Patrick would have fallen. even in a
few rounds more

A redemptioner from purchaser at

more than a lien by which is secured
the right to be reimbursed what he

1t.
The law respecting judgments con-
