for the Bohemian Club. He left this city
in the summer of 1897 to pursue his stud
les abroad, and the Owl at the club is

90S Broadway, May IL.
Now the little locks on the inside of the
private room doors in saloons and restau-
rants have met with combination of the
City Council, and they must go These
little locks, according to Investigations
made by several members of the Council,
who decline TO have their names made
public, are closely allied to the side door
entrances and other denominations that
Oakland is anxious to be rid of.
AT meeting of the License Committee
this subject was brought UP and the LII
cense Collector and the Police Department
were notified to make an inspection OF all
the doors of private rooms in restaurants
and report to the committee. All places
having these little locks will be refused
license until such locks are removed.
A wholesome fear has taken possession
of certain saloon keepers owing to state
mentS almost amounting to declarations
Of intention made by the Mayor and 9TH
ers regarding their licenses. These re-
marks have been made evidently for a
purpose, and the particular statement
causing anxiety is that no saloon which
permitted boys to play keno within 1t dur
Ing the recent keno excitement will be
regranted license. Two or three very
prosperous saloons come under this ban,
and several Councflmen have expressed
themselves as being opposed to allowing
them to continue business. One of these
Is on Twelfth street. and its proprietor
will have hard battle on his hands when
his license expires.
The question of permitting bicycles on
sidewalks has been deferred for a few
days until the Council can pass upon still
quireS cyclists who ride on the sidewalk
to carry bell, to dismount when meeting
passengers, to provide their wheels with
brakes and to pay 80 if arrested and con-
victed for violating it. This was recon-
mended to the Council by the committee.
and as Mayor Snow has stated that he
will not approve any ordinance whose
terms differ materially from this one 1t
Will likely become law.

The Lsokawanna Company Practically
Reduces the Price of Powder.
The Lackawanna miners have practically
secured the reduction in powder for which
they have been striving the past month
through a committee representing all the
miners of the company in the Lackawanna
and Wyoming Valleys. This was fixed upon
late on Monday at the final conference be-
tween Superintendent Loomis, of the Coal
Department,and the committee. 1t fixes that
hereafter the old schedule of 1888, which
provided eighteen cars for keg of powder
will be in force, instead of the eight cars al
lowed during these sixteen years under the
Storr's management for the Coal Department.
This brings the powder at just about the
price which would be paid in the open market,
meaning practically cut of $3.50 per keg.
The other concessions granted a week ago
were the privilege of having their black
smithing done where they please, and the
maintenance of the standard diamond car in
all mines.
