The five-dollar gold piece of 1922 is a

third was picked up in a New York

nance. He said he had not amended MS
orders to the police, which were issued
on an opinion from the legal department
of the city.
Andrew Schoch, the prominent East
Seventh street grocer, came to the po-
lice court yesterday morning to answer
to q charge Of violating the ordinance by
allowing a display of fruit to remain in
front of his store after he had been or
dered to remove 1t by Patrolman Sven
son. He was represented by Attorney %.
B. Holcombe, who asked for continu-
ance of the case to Oct. so. City Pros
ecutor Finehout objected to delay or
the trial of the case and urged that 1t be
heard as soon as possible, as If this was
not done the defendant would continue
to violate the ordinance until the case
was heard. Judge Hine granted con-
tinIance to Thursday, and informed the
city prosecutor that new complaints could
be filed against Mr.. Schoch each day If 1t
was so desired.
After leaving the court room Mr.. Schoch
paid a visit to Mayor Kiefer and had
long conference with that official The
mayor, when asked about the conference,
stated that 1t was purely of a personal
nature. Mr.. Schoch, seen last evening,
said he had informed the mayor that peo-
pie who were not at all friendly to the
administration were bringing up old and
obsolete ordinances with a view Of having
them enforced and thus making trouble
for the administration.
Mr. Schoch said he also told the mayor
that the ordinance was very conflicting
in its provisions and 1t would not hold
water for the reason that 1t exempted
the commission men from It's provisions
and made other merchants, especially tbs
retailers, conform to 1t or pay q fine.
From an intimate friend of the mayor
it was learned last evening that the may
or had decided that the best way out Of
the trouble which his order had caused
was to have the violators brought into
court and the ordinance declared invalid.
This having been done, new ordinance
not so drastic In Its provisions as the
present one, and suitable to all business
men, would be adopted

MADE AN UNPOPULAR MOVE

When He Ordered All Sidewalks in

If the Ordinance Should Happen

Great Deal, the Mayors Friends
Think.
When the Third street commission men
called on Mayor Kiefer to protest against
the order recently issued to the ponce TO
clear the sidewalks of distractions such
as signs, goods and merchandise the
mayor read a section Of the ordinance
which provides that persons engaged In
business requiring the receiving and ship
ment of goods could use the sidewalks
for this purpose, providing a space was
left four feet wide for the public.
The delegation, after hearing this, left
his honor with the impression that there
would be no action taken against them
for using the sidewalks. To the surprise
of the commission men the police yes
terday filed information and asked for
warrants for the arrest of Porter Bros,
at Ill East Third street; ]. B. HoXsie, lOl
East Third street; NJ c. Retner, SO East
Third street; De Camp Il Boyer, "a East
Third street; B. Presley & Co., 102 East

AS soon as the commission men learned
of the application for warrants, Chief
Goss was appealed to-. He said he had
been given orders to enforce the ordi-
nance and that he intended to obey the
instructions. AS to the clause in the or

Goss said that was a matter for the legal
department and not for him to settle.

TO CATCH THE EYE.
The Italian Fruit Sellers Shrewd-
ness in Marking His Wares.

New York Tribune.
The Italian fruit seller shows his
shrewdness as business man in small
way by the prices which he puts ON his
wares. The fruit is arranged In tempt
ing groups on his pushcart, and each
group is usually marked with ticket so
that the pedestrian may know the prices
without asking. Over pile Of plums
may be seen the tiny sign, eight for
nine cents" Now, the average customer
does not buy eight plums, and when he
asks for one it Is two cents, or two for
three cents, and, as the vender sells
more lots of one than anything else, the
eight for nine cents becomes a myth,
and his stock averages nearly two cents
apiece. Peaches that are marked twelve
for 20 cents if sold in dozen lots would
be fairly cheap, but one peach from the
same pile costs three cents, and as 1.-TWO
for five is the popular sale in that class,
the lot which is advertised at % cents
usually brings more than 30. In the
orange season "eight for rs cents Is a

CHINESE PRAYER.
Earnest Supplicntion Was Inspired
by the First Sight of
Bicycle.

A Baptist missionary once sent home
mn account of prayer offered by Wang
Chcng Sui on the occasion of the visit
Of two Americans who were on a tour
around the world on bicycles. After the
bicyclists had ridden to the mission sta
ton Wang prayed:
I'VE thank Thee, our Heavenly Fa-
Their, that our eyes have this day seen
the real pattern Of the 'self-gong cart
of the ancients. What a mysterious wis
dom is Thine, How willingly Thou art
TO impart knowledge to men! But our
sins hinder Thy revelations! How stu
pd have we become through serving
Satan so long! Many years have we
lived, and yet to-day for the first time
have we seen this marvel of Thy skill,
which has enabled Thy servants in the
west to understand. Forgive our sins.
Restore us to Thy favor. Communicate
to us, also, Thy mysteries, and let us
share in the wonderful inventions by
which Thou dost make Thy name glo-
rious amongst those who serve Thee.
Let us be intrusted with Thy secrets,
and possess the power of the ancients
so will all our countrymen come to
know thar we have found the right
path and are servants Of the true God. -
The missionary thinks il very likely
that such prayer will provoke a smile,
but he bids us believe that Wang was
in red-hot earnest, and that he simply
felt that he had witnessed a miracle
and was giving God the glory.-N. Y.

ly Mean illustrated in a
Rcstaurant.

Our scene is laid in woman's res.
taurant-a place started by women es.
pecially for women, where none but the
wealthy can go, for it is about the most
expensive lunchroom, outside of swell
hotels, that one could possibly choose,
Being a place of this standing, one natu-
rally expects to find there the acme OF
good manners.
In fact, there is an unwritten law
among its patronesses that no one shall
take vacant chair at a table already
occupied, or attempt to seat herself at
Il table until the last occupant has
left it.
The place is so popular, and it is con.
sidercd so exactly the thing to go there
for luncheon, that the room is always
crowded: There is Il long line of wait.
ing customers, and many are turned
away.
1t happened one day, not very many
days ago, that Il woman came in for
luncheon. She was alone. The place
was comfortably filled, but looking
around she spied table at which sat
one person, and she had finished her
meal. So the woman, in anticipation
of her speedy departure, moved up and
stood near the table, waiting her chance
to take the place apparently so soon to
be vacated.
This must have incensed the woman
ut the table, for she started in to eX-
anime her bill carefully, called the
waitress to her, and after a lengthy dis.
cussion succeeded getting the amount
corrected by five cents which she had
been oycrcharged.
Then she took out dollar bill, looked
it over carefully, smoothed it out and
laid on the check to be paid. Finally
she took up her cloak and started to
put it on in the most deliberate man
ncr. After that was adjusted to her sat,
isfaction she tackled the furs. They
were put ON; then taken off and put on
again, removed once more, scanned
carefully for missing loop, and at last
put on to stay.
Her gloves were taken out of her
muif, and after five minutes fussing
with them they were finally drawn on,
and there was no further excuse for my
lady to keep the waiting woman stand
ing any longer. Reluctantly she va
