The Worcester spy., 1899-11-09

The condition of The Spy man who
had his overcoat "pinched" not long
ago, reminds me of fellow out west,
who was so hard up one winter that
all his apparent wearing apparel con-
sisted of a linen suit, a dress coat. a
pair of shoes, a heavy ulster and a.
black table cover which belonged to
his landlady. He was a social chan
who had been accustomed to going out
a good deal, and though the place of
his residence this particular winter was
not his birthplace, he had a good many
friends and received invitations of all
sorts all the time. 1t wasn't so bad
for him when it was cold enough to
wear the ulster, because it was long
enough to cover all but his feet and the
lower part of his legs. To give the an
pearance of the right kind of trousers
showing under the bottom of the long
coat, he had lined the trousers of the
linen suit with the black table cover,
ana made neat job of it, having
learned now to use needle in his
early days.
He was always careful never to un-
button the coat when he was ont of
doors, and he passed muster without
any questions. But one sad day he
received an invitation to a small re-
ception at the home of the swellesti
family in the town, and, of course he.
had to accept, for fear of losing bis
prestige. He had the dress coat
clean shirt, and he borrowed a collar
from -boarder. BY pressing the
black lining of his linen trousers witb
not iron, he got up a fair irnitatior,
OF broadcloth and put a regular tailor

NEGLECTED CHILDREN.
They May Yet Have to be Removed
From Their Mother.

The attention of Special Officer Dan
Healy of the Children's Society was
yesterday called to the pitiable condi-
ton of the children of a family living
in the alley between P and Q, Eleventh
and Twelfth streets. The husband and
father seems to be Woodworking man,
but is necessarily away from home most
of the time. In his absence the wife
INDUCES in liquor and frequently goes
away for hours. leaving her three lit
tie children, one a babe, alone.
Healy went to the house yesterday
and found the mother absent The
younger child was tied in a high chair
on the front porch, and was looked
after by the little girl, or 8 years old,
and astoddling boy of 4. The mother
had been away for hours, and the baby
was hungry.
Several of the neighbors gathered
about to discuss the situation, but
grocer Billy" Hanlon took a more
practical view of things and was just
about to send to a drug store for a
nursing bottle with which to feed the
badly, when the father came home.
The latter promised Officer Healy that
he would see that nothing of the kind
shall occur again. Healy said that if
the children were again neglected in
that way the society would have to take
and provide for them The conduct Of
the woman has long been the talk Of
the immediate neighborhood.

CITY HEALTH MATTERS.
A Plumber Suspended and Dairy
men Warned to be Clearly.

There was a regular meeting OF the
Sacramento Board Of Health last night,
at which the principal business. aside
from the reading of regular reports, was
the suspending of w. ]. Thompson, a
plumber, for violating the city ordi-
nances.
Thompson's trial took place last
month, but the verdict was withheld
until last night, and when it came to
the consideration of the question there
was a re-discussion of the case. The
board finally decided to suspend the
offender for six months, and such was
the verdict.
Thompson said he was a subject of
persecution because he is colored
man. and threatened that he will sue
the board for revoking his license and
will contest the verdict on the ground
of Irregularities.
By the report of Dr. H. L. Nichols
the total number of deaths for the
month was 46, or an annual death rate
of 1910 per thousand During the
month there were twenty-one births.
1t appeared that there have been four
deaths from meningitis during the
month, but there We're no signs of an
alarming spread of the disease.
DR.. MCGOWAN, Milk and Food Inspec-
tor, reported that the milk standard is
now low and that dairies do not take
proper care of cows. He also reported
that mixers are often careless, and
finally offered rules enforcing clean
liness and suggesting that the board
accept them.
The matter was taken under advise
ment but all the members of the board
expressed themselves strongly in favor
of urging cleanliness among dairymen.

to the Record Union representative
that he did not mean any contempt of
the House or its process; that he did
admit the officers; that they had the
right to take their men if they could
find them without creating a panic in
the theater;, that he did not think they
had right to direct how his stage
should be run, and that all the cleo
trical apparatus is on the stage; that
If the house was dark, the officers
should have waited until it was lighted
in due course which happened in very
few minutes. He admits that he said
whoever meddled with the lights would
be shot, but that in SO saying he in
tended no contempt and he thinks he
committed none.

THOSE ADDITIONAL CLERKS.
THE GRAND JURY CONSIDERS
SOME NECESSARY.
Communication Addressed to the
Members Of the Legislature
From This County.

The Grand Jury has been inquiring
into the matter of the additional depu-
ties asked for by certain county Off
Gals. and has come to the conclusion
that some of them are needed.
The officials named in the county gov
eminent bill now before the LEGISLATURE
as being entitled to more clerical assist
ance, or to have certain deputies paid
by the county instead of by themselves,
were called before the Grand Jury and
1nterrogated as to their reasons for the
demands which have created so much
public comment. The result is that the
Grand Jury has addressed a communi-
cation to the Sacramento members of
the Legislature requesting them to IA
vor that clause in the county govern
ment bill which provides for additional
deputies in certain departments of the
county government, with some modifi-
cations. The communication reads:
Grand Jury Room, Sacramento, March
It'll.
Hon. Gillis Doty, Hon. Grove l..
Johnson, Hon. William D. Knights,
and Hon. Morris Brooke, Legislative
Delegation of Sacramento County
Gentlemen: The provisions men
toned in Senate Bill No. .30S, relating
to the county officers of Sacramento
County, have been called to our atten-
ton
We have made such examination of
the provisions Of the bill as we could in
the limited time we have had to do so.
1t was the opinion of the Grand Jury,
after examination, that the County
Auditor and Recorder does need a dep
uty in his office, at a salary of $75 per
month; also that the Sheriff needs a
deputy at $500 per year; that the
County Superintendent of Schools needs
deputy at $500 per year; and that
the County Assessor needs one extra
deputy at $500 per year. Respect
fully submitted,
LEWELLYN TOZER, Foreman.
GEO. w. JACKSON, Secretary.
The Grand Jurors recommendation
differs, however. in some respects from
the provisions of the bill. For instance,
they advise that the Auditor and Re
corder have an additional deputy,
| though the bill does not provide there
for. The Sheriff asked $500 per
year for the salary of Under Sheriff,
and the jury recommends 81 800.
The County Assessor asked for a
Chief Deputy and a Field Deputy, and
the jury recommends but one.

AND NOW MOSHER.
Holmes Real Thing Partner OF
Trial for Robbing Posten.

j.. II. Mosher, the whilom partner OF
William Holmes in the Real Thing
dive on K street, is on trial in Judge
Hughes Court. The afternoon session
yesterday was spent in impaneling a
jury
The crime of which Mosher is
charged is grand larceny A young
man from Ohio, named A Poster.
while taking in the town a few weeks
ago, found himself in the Real Thing
dive in company with a couple of wo-
men, and he charges that he was there
drugged and robbed of $40 by Holmes
and Mosher.
Mosher was behind the bar most of
the time, while Holmes looked after the
visitor and his money. Holmes was
convicted last week, and is now await
ing sentence for his crime. The testi-
mony against Mosher will be more cir
cumstantial than direct, but the prose-
cution say they have a good case.
Moshers counsel is John c. March.

that the result was owing to the old
