Beef Trust Man and Then
Kicks Himself Good

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4-The crowds
that swarmed into the subway express
at South Ferry, Wall street and Fulton
street hardly left Standing room by the
time the bridge was reached. There
was the usual am at the doors, the
usual scuttle for seats with none in
sight, and the tall, frock-coated man,
with cleaning silk tile and an i'm
posing beard parted in the middle as
his most striking characteristics, COM
posedly graSped a strap as the train
started. A pale, ferret-eyed young man
glanced up from his evering paper and
beheld the distinguished figure before
him. He gave a sudden start, a smile
of joy
won't you have my seat?'' he asked
of the distinguished looking one as he
arose.
The offer naturally startled the man
to whom it was made. He did not
faint but he looked amazed.
why 1 think you had better keep
your seat he replied.
mo, please take it," urged the ferret
eyed one obsequiously. It's a pleasure,
assure you" And under this pressure
the tall man took the seat.
Rather warm day." observed the
man who had given up his seat.
"Yes,' said the man who had taken
it.
you've been doing some great
work." said the ferret-eyed one. Il
wish we had you down at Washington
to investigate the beef trust
II don't grasp your meaning" said
the distinguished looking one.
IT said L wished they had you down
at Washin Pton To investigate the beef
trust" came the repetition in which
there was the barest note of faltering.
still you are beyond me-" was the
cold rejoinder.
Aren't YOU the Hon. ''harles G.
Hughes?"
mo, I regret to say I haven't even
the honor of the gentleman's acquaint-
ance," said the tall man in icy tones.
while it makes no difference what my
name Is 1 might state that 1 have the
honor to be connected with the So
called beef trust of which you spoke.
AS am evidently occupying this seat
under false impression, permit me to
resign it to you"
mot on your life,' sputtered Ferret
Eyes. I'm game. The seats on me,
and you're entitled to it. But, Gawd,
what a dub man does make of him
self when he tries to play Mr.. Buttin-
sky!"
The distinguished looking one smiled
but tactfully refrained from comment.

the city license which prohibits the
selling OF liquor without a license was
shown last night, when Mrs. 7. P.

When special officers went to her
place last night they asked for beer
and were told they would have to sign
an order on the Los Angeles brewery

this she requested the officers to leave
25 cents on the table after they had
drank the liquor.
The woman furnished bail and will
be arraigned this morning, and says
she will contest the case.

About Phoenix People

One of the most beautiful and de- lightful functions of this season was a reception given by Mrs. Samuel D. Lount and Mrs. William B. Lount Thursday afternoon, at the handsome residence of Mrs. Samuel D. Lount on North Second street.
 The house was darkened and in the drawing room and dining room the lights were shaded with pink; smiIax was gracefully festooned over the doors and windows, and the same greens decorated the chandeliers. Tiny vari- eolored electric lights, half hidden in smilaX, hung in the doorway leading into the dining room. Several jars of pink carnations ornamented the room. The dinin table was draped with smilaX and at two corners were Streamers of pink ribbon. On the table set silver candelabra with green shades, and in the center was a large vase of pink carnations. The punch room was in read and green; the lights were shaded with red and beneath the chandelier was suspended a red bell. Punch was served in a booth hung with red and green lights. Pepper was garlanded from chandelier to wall. and most pleasing in effect, and red carnations added brightness. In the roorG where the guests stood to greet each other pepper hung in profusion.
