Police to Prevent Sales Of Tickets for
Excursions on River.
There Is to be no ticket scalping about the
local steamboat wharves this summer dur
ing the excursion season. The steamboat
companies complained last year Of the
nuisance caused by the congregating of a
large number Of people in front OF the sew
eral wharves pretending to be Interested in
an excursion and oftentimes selling spurious
tickets. This unauthorized selling Of
tickets about the wharves caused the
steamboat people no end of trouble. and
they were DESTROYS that some regulation
should be adopted by the Commissioners
whereby the police authorities might take
the matter in hand
Capt. c. W. Ridley, managing director OF
the Marshall Hall and Mount Vernon
Steamboat Company, has written to the
Commissioners within the past few days
asking them to act prior to the beginning of
the excursion season next month. Major
Richard Sylvester, superintendent OF police,
also called attention to the matter, saying
he made a recommendation July g. 1902 to
the effect that regulation be established In
order that the police might take hand In
the practice. The Commissioners referred
the matter to the corporation counsel, and
1T was by him referred to Mr.. James L..
Pugh, jr., the assistant corporation counsel
in charge of prosecutions in the District
branch of the Police Court Mr.. Pugh de-
clares no regulation Is needed on the sub
ject. as the act of Congress relating to peace
and order affords ample relief. The ticket
sellers should be charged with ebstructing
the free use of the street. Mr.. Pugh says
he has issued warrants heretofore in such
cases. and If the matter of the ticket sellers
had been brought to his attention he would
have given a warrant.
The report Of the assistant corporal ion
counsel will be referred, on recommended
ton of Commissioner West to the superin-
tendent of police for his information and
guidance. I+ II

SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil. The label tells
the whole story. There is a
knack in making it. The
only secret about it is the
secret of its success.
This year, when cod liver
oil is very scarce and high,
all kinds of cheap. inferior
oils are used to take its place,
and all sorts of things pre-
sented as substitutes. Think
of petroleum being taken as
a substitute for cod liver DILL
too absurd. Think of the
so-called wines, extracts and
cordials of cod liver oil
they are simply the shadow
without the substance; no
food value in them.
