ACCIDENTALLY AsPHYx1ATED

James Tobin, aged SO. a baker living
at 1880 Sixteenth street, was found
dead in bed by his landlady, Mrs Eliza
Munro, yesterday morning. She smelled

emanated from Tobins room. The gas
was turned on, but a draft from the
partly open window had evidently ex-
tinguished the light. The man re-
turned home soon after midnight. In
his pocket was q handbook showing
that he had more than $4,000 in the Hi

H|GH-PR|CED DRINKS
ADD To L|FE's BURDEN
Steam Beer and Lager Must
Take Place of Case Goods
and Mixtures

Those who habitually journey along
the cocktail route are not happy over
the edict of the 6California Liquor Deal
ers' Association and the Royal Arch
decreeing that case goods and mixed
drinks shall be charged for IN the fu-
ture at the rate OF 12h cents each. In
the days before the fire and in num-
'berless locations along the line OF sa-
loon reconstruction the wise patron of
the bar. or the one with delicate
palate, could order his particular brand
tion of which the highest skill OF the
bartender would be employed. and the
cost, as a rule, was only 10 cents The
addition of "a cents on the price OF
such drinks, taken in the total OF the
days trade, would go long way
toward paying the higher rents and the
increased cost OF living that saloon
keepers and their employees, like other
people, have 10 pay.
The devotees of the insidious abb
sinthe frappe and the connoisseur OF
cocktails will not abandon his favorite
tipple because of the advanced price.
though he may take fewer drinks, if
his credit is limited; but there is a sus-
picion in the liquor trade that the high
price of living has reached other quar-
ters. and the average man, TO satisfy
his thirst or warm the cookies Of his
heart, viii resort to the bigger and less
expensive glasses of steam and lager
which are still quoted at 5 cents.
