Danger in the RED Coat.

Relocated golfers have misIed so many
railroad engineers and caused them to
slow down, under the impression that the
red coat was danger flag, that the Jer-
sey Central officials have sent out gen
eral request for golf players to keep
away from the tracks. One of the Royal
Blue trains on that road came to halt
when the engineer saw a red coat in the
distance. Every morning during the
summer some of these red coated players
Iide to the station along the road, and
the company has had to give them orders
to keep away.

.SIRATENEYER'S DONKEY
\ VALUABLE IMPORTATION FROM
HAWAII.
Distinguished Officials Gather to Greet
Long feared Pet That Has Yet Co
be Trained.

Have you seen Stratcmeyer's dom
key" was the question on every
tongue today in the various offices at
the custom house. The donkey came
on the Mauna Loa and after a trip up
town to get clipped he was led to the
custom house yesterday by janitor
Brown, creating a sensation all the way
along Fort street. He was placed in
the large enclosure behind the custom
house. where he received visitors all
day. When he arrived at the custom
house Collector General StaCkable,
Deputy Scott and a score of clerks. in
spectors and other officials were leaning
out Of windows to catch a glimpse of
the long-eared pet.
The donkey came from Hawaii. in
some parts of which island his kindred
are as plentiful as jackrabbits in Aus
tralia. He is a pet for the surveyors
son and was supposed to be a we'll
behaved donkey, broken in to riding
and driving. But he is not. Mr.. Strate-
meyer is looking for some one who will
do the breaking in. He says he wants
someone who will be kind and not
rufile the animals disposition, for he
declares that when a donkeys temper
is once spoiled, he declines to make
friends with any one and even uses
violence in rejecting friendly advances.
The port surveyor took many friends
in to look at the new arrival and all
were enthusiastic in praise of its ap-
pearanCe. 1t is a pretty little donkey,
with head and ears big enough for a
very large mule. No one went very
near it. The donkey has not yet got
accustomed to city life and appears to
be somewhat Disconnected. Once Mr..
Stratemeyer was heard thoughtfully
quoting Mark Twain's remark that a
donkey will wait twenty years to get a
crack at its owner. This donkey is a
very young one, not full grown and can

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in its use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debilitation, and they can safely order
this beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company.
l.. H. Dee has in his keeping the
American Journal of Health and can
be seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of

sortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors we are pleased to
sell you and give you value for the
benefit of your health.
