AFTER SOCIAL CLUBS.
RICHMOND POLICE ARE STIRRING
YIIIGM UP.

Chief Of Police Howard, of the Rich
mond police department, has begun a
'crusade against Social Clubs suspected
OF failure to comply with the law.
Tuesday he had quartette before the
police court, the cases were continued
to the goth instant. The defendants,
who were mostly negroes, were repre-
scented by counsel, and commemorative
attorney Richardson Cooke, after the
States interest. He informed the court
that the law granting life to social
clubs made it positive that list of the
members of such clubs should be ex-
hibltcd to the Hastings Court at it's
April term and that the law had been
violated. lie was emphatic in the de-
claration that no club had a right TO
sell liquor on Sunday. He cited the fol-
lowing:
TIIE LAW
Chapter 4i3 of the Acts OF Assembly
1S91'9S. THAT any social club chartered
and that desired to keep on hand at
their clubhouse liquors to be sold
directly or indirectly, or given away
to the members of such corporation
shall on or before the 18th day of
April of each year pay to the treasurer
OF the county or corporation Il tax
equal to one dollar for each person
who has been n member of such club
uuliES tHe preceding year, put the tax
shall be only one-half where malt IL
quors are sold or given away ut such
clubs.
UNLESS said tax be paid. such club
shall be deemed guilty OF misde-
meanor. and shall be fined not less
than twenty dollars, or in the discre-
ton of the court imprisoned not more
| than six months or both.
"Such tax rs above described II

| prescribed"

WILLIAMS LOWEST BID.

From these 1t will be seen that the
bid of the Norfolk Railway and Light
Company was the lowest. This com
pany Is the successor of the Virginia
Electric Company, that now has the
contract for lighting the city The COM
mittee reserved the right to reject any
or all bids.
MEETS AGAIN TO-DAY.
The committee took the whole mat
ter under advisement and will meet
again tonight. ut 1880 o'clock. It is
probable that each proposition will be
carefully considered and no hnsty ac-
ton taken.
Mr.. Pender's proposition makes the
bid Of his company really indetermi-
nate. as he Is offering the city a bonus
of per cent. on an unknown, indeter-
inmate sum. viz: 2 per cent. on gross
receipts of business not now in cx-
istence and the volume of which can
not be accurately estimated.
The difference between the Williams
hid, s1S,S92.o0, and the Pender bid,
S23693.00, is s+,S01.00 Thus it would
take gross receipts of S240, 050. 90 per an,
mum. by the Fender Company, to give
the city bonus of s4.S010o.
CHEAPER LIGHTS.
The results of the bids will be that
Norfolk will have cheaper lights than
heretofore.
The city has been paying sS5 per year
for open arc lights and Sc per year for
incandescents. Thus 1t will be seen
that there Is a reduction Of about one,
third In the lowest bid received

SOME PEPPER po1NrERs.

Very few housewives seem to understand
the difference between the black and the
white pepper. and why the latter is supe-
rior. The black pepper is the most COM
monty used in seasoning. This is the coarse
pepper made by grinding the pepper corn
with the outer shell or husk on it,
White pepper, on the contrary, is made
Of perfectly ripened peppercorn after tho
husk has been removed, and is in every way
superior in flavor to black pepper, though
1t is not quite so pungent.
White pepper costs but trifle more than
black, and does not disfgure a white SOUP
or sauce as black pepper does
1t is interesting to recall the fact that
this simple condiment was so costly in the
middle ages that rents were sometimes paid
in pound OF Deppercorn, delivered at GER
tain times. The term, "a peppercorn-rent"
still fingers In modern Jurisprudence, and
means nominal rent.
The Portuguese, who formerly controlled
the pepper market of the world, were In
1ucnced more, 1t is said, by their desire to
obtain an abundant supply of pepper than
by anything else In their effort TO discover
u short passage to the Indies.
In 1895 when the passage round the Cape
Of Good Hope was finally discovered pepper
went down In price.
Nepaul pepper is 4 delicious, delicate kind
Of red pepper.
The red pepper known as Cayenne pepper
takes its name from Cayenne, seaport
town and the capital Of French Guiana, on
the northwest extremity of the Island of
Cayenne. and near the mouth of the river
of that name.
The pepper is not prepared from a pepper
corn. but from the dried fruits of various
species OF plants known as capsicum. All
these fruits have very strong. pungent
flavor. The annual of common capsicum-
the Guinea pepper plant-wns taken to Eu-
rope by the Spaniards and grown in Eng
land in 154S.
Cayenne pepper is manufactured from the
ripe fruits, which are dried, ground, mixed
with wheat -four and made into cakes with
yeast. These cakes are baked until hard
like biscuit and then ground and sifted
The pepper IS sometimes prepared by simply
drying the pods and pounding them fine in
q mortar.
