]. ]. Coffev Disbarred.

John ]. Coffey, commonly called "Black
Jack" by the lawyers of this city, will
have to hunt up another means of max
ing living, for the Supreme Court has
revoked his license to practice the legal
profession hereafter. The charge upon
which he was disbarred was extortion.
Coffey swore out a warrant for the ar
rest Of a man and instead of having the
police serve the document and arrest the
accused, Coffey told the man that unless
he paid a certain sum of money the war
rant would be served The intended vic
tim declined to be blackmailed in such a
manner and was arrested. At the trial
the facts came to light and finally result
ed in Coffey being obliged to take down

had not yet arrived, but that he expected
it to-day. He had no idea as to the iden-
THY of Meredith's successor, but he in
clined to the belief that the appointment
lay with himself.
Persons who have watched bureau mat
tiers closely during the past two years
believe the Collector has no foundation
for his belief, and that man will be
the bureau, or that some man from San
Francisco VIII be appointed by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury.
They instance the appointment of Dr.
Gardiner as Chinese Inspector by the
Secretary, and the fact that both Mere
dith and Jackson regard Gardiner with
unfriendly eyes. The elevation of DR..
Gardiner from the position Of interpreter
to that Of inspector was made in antag-
dith and the majority of the Chinese
landing lawyers who are never tired of
singing the psalm, ''Laus Meredith" It
is argued that if the Secretary of the
Treasury went SO far as to take out of
the Collectors hands the appointment of
subordinate in the bureau it is reason
able to infer that the same method will
chief.
DR.. Gardiner says he is not a candI-
date for the position, and would not ac-
cept 1T even if it were rendered him. He
prefers to remain on the outside to watch
the coolie brokers and slave importers
and thwart their nefariOuS plans. In the
meantime the coolie brokers are planning
an attack upon the doctor. They are
preparing to accuse him of dishonesty,
bride taking and other offenses, just as
they did in Tacoma when the doctor clev-
erly succeeded in exposing the conspiracy
and confounding the bribers and the ras-
calls.
Dr. Gardiner is thorn in the side of
the perjured scoundrels and their white
allies who deal in Chinese slaves The
Government, owes to him and to Inspec-
tor Lynch the exposure of many irregu-
larities indicating corruption during the
administration of Chief Meredith. Until
they shall have been removed, the way
of the coolie brokers and the white GRIM
inals in their employment will be diff
cult indeed.

Of his hospitality. Wine flowed like wa
ter, and Mcintyre was voted the best
captain on the bay. Every night the lit
tie circle which Mcintyre had gathered
around him visited the yacht and morning
found them lying stupidity drunk on the
decks and cabin floors of the Chispa. In
the daytime Mcintyre took his favorites
out driving. He taught the livery stable
men how to write his name, and in a Few
days succeeded in running a bill of SOL
and several horses to death.
On Saturday last the merchants who
had furnished Mcintyre with everything
he desired became suspicious and they
telephoned to Commodore Gutte's office
In this city. Mcintyre got wind of this
and decided to leave town. He packed
several cases of champagne into wagon,
took it over to Port Costa, where he sold
them to a saloon-keeper for $50
He then continued up the road. and 1T
is not likely that he will ever return to
Benicia unless brought back by the Con-
stable.
Mcintyre relieved Commodore Cutie of
several valuable trink cts which he Always
kept aboard the yacht, and when seen last
night the Commodore stated that he
would report his loss to Chief Lees. The
commodore is convinced that "hoodoo"
fits about the Chispa, and he is looking
for man to take charge of her who has
the reputation of being q spook exter-
minator.

ing Police Judge Barry yesterday of

wharf to see the trim craft, whose decks
and cabins reek with the history of two
tragedies.
Mcintyre was not slow in going ashore,
where he introduced himself as the new
captain of the Chfspa. He carried with
him buckskin bag that fairly bulged
with coin. Not coin bearing the good old
stamp of Uncle Sans mints, but souve-
mir pieces from all nations on the face of
the earth, which Commodore Cutie had
spent years. in collecting. Mcintyre
walked into the store of liquor merchant
with his sack of coin, and introducing
himself as the captain of the Chispa,
asked leave to stow the bag in the mer-
chants safe. The merchant thought the
bag contained thousands of dollars. and
he advised Mcintyre to deposit it in the
bank. The latter left the store and pre-
tended to go to the bank and deposit the
bag. He returned few minutes later
and told the merchant that if he would
meet city prices he (McEntyre) would
give him a large order. The merchant
rubbed his. hands in glee as he informed
the smooth pretender that he would I'M
dersell the city dealers. Mcintyre then
gave him an order for champagne, liquor
and cigars that amounted TO 1868. The
goods were sent to the Chispa, and Nc
Entyre told the merchant to wait a few
days and Mr.. Cutie would be in town to
settle with him.
Mcintyre invited large number of
townspeople to visit the yacht to partake

POSTUM CEREAL.
Professor
George
Dawson,
Instructor Of Boxing,
Chicago Athletic Assn
Says =:

"I. almost invariably find the first
thing which I have to. ask a new pupil
to do, is to leave off coffee. For an ex-
ercise that requires the endurance that
boxing does, it is about the worst thing
a man can drink as it makes him short
winded. Many of my pupils use the
Postum Cereal and are very much ben
Gifted by it. 1t seems to make them
stronger and gives them greater en-
durance."
If coffee is an injury to the healthy,
strong, athletic, how much more must
it impair the system of the ordinary
individual.
If Postum Cereal Food Coffee makes
the healthy athlete stronger and gives
him greater endurance, would 1t not be
a benefit to you?
Postum can be assimilated by the
weakest stomach. 1t builds flesh, mus
Gle and strength. Try it
