Somewhat os a Bunco Game.

The Norris & Rowe Trained Animal
show adopted, yesterday, its usual
method for extorting an extra quar-
ter from patrons, the only difference
being that the proportion of seats
assigned to the general admission
tickets was much less than usual. In
fact, long before the performance be-
gan these seats were filled, and the
necessity was imposed of submitting
to extortion. Fully e-fourths of
the best seats, on the sides OF the tent,
and consequently nearer the ring,
were cushioned" with gaudy strips OF
calico, which scarcely served as pro-
lection from the splinters of the rough
boards, and sold at an advance, with
an alternative of standing and being
peremptorily ordered to move out of
the range of vision OF the plebian rows.
That much consideration was accord
ed to make the reserves" sell. If
the management had provided suf-
ficient number of general admission
seats for the people who bought tick
cts under the impression that they
would be accorded, at least, fair treat.
ment, the feeling of injustice would
not have been go intense. To that
treatment they were justly entitled,
and that would have relega,ed the
"cheap-john" reserves to their legiti.
mate function of separating the blue
blooded sheep from the coarse-corpus-
cled goats. This is not the only act
of bad faith the Norris "aggravation"
will be held responsible for if they
make another raid upon the innocen,s
under our protection.

Useless lntricacies.

One of the questions on the list at
the civil service examination which
has been in session here this week, is
cOuched in the following terms !:
1.-THE sum of $3.50 was loaned out at
simple interest for certain time so
that it netted $S45. If the principal
had been loaned out at 5 per cent, it
would have taken eight months Ion
ger to net said amount. What was
the original rate of INTEREST,""
Now the STANDARD will give a years
subscription to this paper to anybody
who can show the practical utility OF
such problem ~ the above, by citing
case where it would be necessary to
follow its details in business trans
ton.
1t seems to be the aim of modern
examination boards to put before
their applicants such puzzles as would
never materialize in a long lifetime of
the most complicated business. A
saving clause in the wording of the
above problem renders it barely ode
terminate" as mathematicians would
say, but very like unto the GA puz-
zle," and "pigs in clover" it is simply
a confederation of curiOsities.
In the meantime, the STANDARD
will hold itself in readiness to publish
correct solution by any member of
the late High School graduating class,
accompanied by satisfactory evidence
that the work has been performed
without outside assistance.

Carl Hulen, the 6-year-old child OF
William Hulen, was drowned in Lake
Union, near Seattle, Monday, while
playing with an infant child named
Hal Foster. The latter did not seem
to realize what had happened and con-
tinued to play on the lake shore, al.
though help conld have been secured
almost Immediately. The Hulen
child was paddlinga badly constructed
raft on the lake close to the shore
when, it is believed, in some manner
he fell off. His body was found in
three feet OF water.
Several weeks ago the guards at

watch was kept, and gradually the
plan was unfolded that eliminated in

Mulligan afterwards confessed to the

money has been recovered. At the
confession Mulligan said that he was

Saml. II. French, who died at the
hospital, Monday night, is supposed to
have been 100 years OF age. lie came
here about the year 1880, and he was
past the meridian of life then. He
was a millwrlght, and helped construct

into the expediency of the ship canal
to connect Budd's Inlet and Gray's

and escort them to this city, entertain
them while here, and induce them, if

DIR. Corey, who presented bill of
500 some time ago to the Commits
sioners for attendance upon small
pox patient at Bucoda and was al
lowed $75, seems emboldened by his
success, and now puts in bill of
$3l6 for attendance upon the family
OF Frank Miller, who resides about
three miles from BucoGa This bill is,
however, evidently "loaded." for he
charges $l4 per trip and extra for vac
cinating the family. 1t seems that
this bill would not slip through, at
the reduction of % per cent, as es-
tablished by precedent, and it was in
continently chung up to dry" Then
the head of the home that was under
quarantine shoves up his little bill for

days he was prevented from sowing

A Pesthouse Bathhouse

Oily says that the Health Officer gives
as reason for removal of the pest.
house from the foot of Jefferson street,
after substance of the smallpox, that
the shanty, i'll its present position,
might possibly be visited by children
and disease contracted from germs not
destroyed by dislnfectants; and that
he had possibly in mind, when he gave
the order (says that veracious reservoir
of knowledge the fact that several
years ago, when another "mild form"
of the disease prevailed, float used
for pest-house was securely, it was
thought, locked up, after fumigation
and moored alongside the wharf, which
after being broken open by hobos, was
occupied daily by the youth of the
town As dressing-room for their bath
ing parties, during each succeeding
summer season. Now. the interesting
questions arise, whether there is less
danger from the pest-house being afloat
or aground, and whether, as a SWIM
ming place, there is less probability OF
infection from possible germs, when
:he pest-house is anchored in the bay
or tied up at the wharf?
The only mode of thoroughly disin.
fecting such buildings was that adopt
ed under advice of DR.. William A.
Newell, former Health Officer,
by burning the structure - not to
ashes, but just to char. and having
the fire apparatus ready to put an ex.
tinguisher on the flames after they
have performed that service.
Dimes to doughnuts that the old
float with its microbes will be convert.

retreat before it has undulated to
