To Restrict Pawnbrokers.

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. IA bill was introduced
in the Assembly to-day which is calculat-
ed to greatly restrict the privileges of
pawnbrokers and bring their business and
customers under the strict surveillance Of
the police.
The bill provides that every person car
rying on a loan business shall do so only
under license issued by the Mayor of the
city in which he isfestablished The
broker must keep a complete register of
pledges upon which he makes loans and
before u o'clock noon OF every day must
hand in to the Chief of Police or Marshal
a list of pledges accepted by him, a de-
scription of them and of the persons who
have negotiated loans. No pawnbroker
shallsrelease a pledge until twenty-four
hours have elapsed after the list has been
handed the police.
A change also is made by the bill in
the method of disposing of pledges that
have not been redeemed. Instead of being
sold at private sale they must be adver-
tised for five successive days in a daily
paper and then sold at public sale. No
pledge shall be sold until after six months
after the time fixed by the contract for
redemption.
The bill is in the hands of the Judiciary
Committee.

VOL. 10. NUMBER 20.

The associated press correspondent
at Aberdeen, sent out report that
Senator Pettigrew at his Woonsocket
speech declared he was ashamed OF his
cepptry and he repudiated both his
= atry and his flag. Both the New
York journal and the New York World
before publishing the dispatch wired
the senator asking him ifit was true.
The Journal query was as follows:

Woonsocket, I am ashamed of my
country, would pull down the flag
and 90 back and blot out recent history
i'll could, and that you denounced
your country and your flag. Please
answer If correctly quoted or not.
To this query the senator sent the
following answer by wire giving .
correct version Of his speech and it's
meaning:
'.Wha. said in my speech was sub
stantially as follows: that President
Mckinley in his speeches in the west
said the Philippine islands had been de.
livered into our hands by the win Of
God and that God had caused the flag

that the secretary Of state recently
wrote letter to an Ohio congressman
evidently intended to be used to affect
the election in that state, in which he
said. that we acquired no title to the
!, RaMllepine islands by conquest,

dent had instructed our commissioners

refused to recognize God who would

making his wishes known TO us; that

Ths marriage Of the hero of Manills

doughty admiral distanoed all calcula
tion and left the newspaper men !
week behind time in their predictions
Of the exact time Of the ceremony. II
was what reporters will persist in call
ing . ''4uiet wedding" and those who
were looking for 9 spectacle were dis
sppoiated. The admiral was married
and sway on his wedding trip with his
$buzon bride beside him before the
nsws gatherers had quite decided
vhSlher the date was set for next
Tuesday or Wednesday. Nobody will
bear any malice because Of the admiral's
scoop" The best that could have
been expected upon the part Of the press
or the public in any event would have
beers chance to sit on the fence and see
tbswedding party 60 by. tits quite OBJ
vionG that if there had been any privi.
legged ones there would have been disap-
in the ratio of 1 200, 900 to i.
It ID not in the details of the wedding
that the public is interested exception
being made in behalf of tho femme por-
tion Of the public and the wedding
gown. Popular interest centers in the
fact that the house that popular ap-
has given to Admiral Dewey
ls to b transformed into a home in fact
and that during the years to come the
admiral will enjoy the complete hap
pineas to be found only in home pre-
sided over by good and gracious wife.
Since it has become acquainted with
Dewey in the various roles he
has enacted during the past year and .
half. the public has been disposed to
wish its hero the very best in all things
Afforded by life upon this earth. In the
realization of this wish the pageants,
the triumphal arches and the various
other methods by which the pub
lie undertook to contribute to Admiral
Dewey's happiness have been as nothing
in comparison with the latest acquisi-
ton which the admiral has secured by
bis own gallantry, aided perhaps little
by the journalistic mstchmakers. The
public is happy now because it is sure
that the admiral and his good wife will
be happy during all the years to come.
Here's to them! May the victory in
this conquest be to each in equal mea-
