PARTICULAR PEOPLE.

The world is full of particular people,
and the most exacting of them all, are
those who are particular about what
they eat, where they eat it and what
they pay for it, as well as the service
accompanying the meals. 1t is the the
rule in Astoria, whenever one of these
people inquire for the best, all-round
restaurant in the city, to promptly refer
them to the Palace Catering Company,
on Commercial street, just opposite the
Page building. Once they patronize the
Palace, their worries and their questions
are at an end. Banquetting and party
service is complete in every detail of
luxurious appliance and menu.

CAR KILLS ITALIAN.

Farm Laborer Falls or Jumps from
 Trolley.
 An Italian, whose identity has not yet been learned, was killed by falling off the running board of Dixwell avenue car on that avenue about 7:2O o'clock Saturday evening.
 The man, who was evidently a farm laborer, boarded the car at the corner Of Dixwell avenue and Circular street, to come to the center of the city.
 The man. sat in front, and after the conductor had collected his fare, he took out pipe, and started to walk along the running board, evidently to get to the rear in order to smoke.
 The pail on his arm struck the side of one of the seats, and threw him to the ground. The man was picked up in an unconscious condition. Just be- fore the car reached Chapel street the man died. After Dr. Harrity of the hospital had examined the remains they were taken to Lewis and May cocks undertaking rooms, where they now are awaiting Identification.
 Assistant Claims Agent Welch found the above to be the facts in the mat ter.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett, however received a slightly different version. When the conductor went to get the mans fare, theN man fumbled in his pocket, and while he was doing so the conductor went to get the other fares. While the conductor was doing this the man jumped off, evidently because he could find no money.
 There was a pay envelope in the mans pocket, but it was empty. On it was inscribed No 1S4," then what looked like "Ompfre," and after that "sS.25." Dr. Bartlett, says that the man was a laborer in Htghwood.
 The man was about twenty years old, smooth face, dark hair and complex ion, weighed about 150 pounds, and is about five feet, n1ne inches in height.
 The death caused considerable excite ment in the nelghborhoOd, and the widest kind of stories were af1oat con cernlng the occurrence.
 The "Ompfre" on the envelope is sup posed to be the mans name. Such en- velopes, furnished by Metgs & Co.,, are used by Brazos, the contractor.

ATWOOD SUES.
Aftermath of Convention of American
 Veterinary Association.

Aftermath of Convention of American
 Veterinary Association.
 pr. Atwood on Saturday brought suit against Dr. Bland for $10,000, and in addition suits for $l0,OO0 are brought against Dr. Roscoe R. Bell and Robert w. Ellis of New York, the owners of a magazine known as the American Vet erinary Review. The second action Is based on an alleged breach of contract.
 During the trouble Friday a vote was passed to keep Dr. Atwood out of the convention, and when a supernunerary officer attempted to do so, pr. Atwood demanded that state humane officer, who was with him at the time, place the supernumerary under arrest.
 Dr. Atwood appealed to Chief Wrinn, and also had conference with City Attorney Simpson about the matter. The clinic was over, however, before there was much time to do anything about the matter.
 Dr. Atwood said that primary cause of his trouble with a number of fel- low practitioners was because he ad- vertised some remedies and instru- ments, which he had discovered and in. vented, and that he did so from hu- manitarian motives.
