GREATLY PLEASED
WITH HORSTMANN
Continued from Page One.

trict ever employed Before Horstmann
was appointed 1 urged Mr.. Richards. Dis
triCt assessor, to change the saloon in
spector. l told him that more active
work ought to be done. The trouble was
that the police would make many ad-
verse reports in regard to the granting
Of licenses, which the inspector would
pass over faVOrably. \ police captain
told me repeatedly that he was sorry the
inspector would not support him. That
captain didn't get the support he desired
until HOrstmann was appointed
Mr.. Shoemaker was placed on the stand
following the noon recess. Mr.. White
Immediately began review of various
liquor license cases which had figured in
the previous sessions.
Mr.. Shoemaker said the Geiger license
was granted to his great surprise; that he
filed a protest. but that no hearing was
given. He said that Mr.. Mckenzie, of
the excise board, was utterly unaware
that the license had been granted.
= As to Side Doors.
The witness said that license was
granted for 4 saloon at Fifth and II
streets northeast regardless of a vigor-
Gus protest from residents of the vicin-
ity; that the police report was adverse,
and Mr.. Mckenzie was not in favor of
granting the license. Mr.. Shoemaker also
testified that a license was granted for
a bar at Twelfth and streets north
west, in spite of the fact that within 400
feet was 4 private school conducted by
the J. W. c. a. He said that the saloon
dn reality a hOteD had two doors in
Twelfth street, which were ordered
closed, in compliance with the law, but
which were opened again shortly after
the license had been issued.
The witness said the excise board
showed a lack of discretion in licensing
the saloon at Twenty-second street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, as the
majority of the property holders in the
vicinity protested. Mr.. Shoemaker said
that it WAS the policy of the excise board
at the time of its creation. in 1893, to
refuse to grant additional licenses in the
southwest section of the city because of
the large number of barrooms already
in that locality. He said that this policy
was adhered to until 1906. Since then,
he said, number of licenses have been
issued. Upon the request of Mr.. White,
Mr.. Shoemaker named those which he
recalled.
What is the general attitude of the
board in considering license cases."
asked Mr.. White.
THE board is usually very courteous.

SENSE OF TASTE.
Curious selective Powers Exhibited by
the Tonque.

Four classes-sweet. bitter. salt and
acid-have been assigned to the sense
Of taste In human beings. These four
classes with their combinations pro-
duce all the delicious sensations that
we ascribe to taste as we'll as all the
disagreeable impressions of that sense
The tongue, however. is not equally
sensitive in all parts to these sensa-
tons. Indeed. Il has been shown that
different tastes result from the same
stimulus when applied to different
places on the tongue. The tip of the
tongue. for instance. Is most sensitive
to sweet and TO acid tastes, while II Is
far less capable of perceiving a bitter
taste than any other part of the organ.
Some persons are unable to perceive
any bitter taste when quinine is APP
piled only TO the tip Of the tongue.
At the back of the tongue the bitter.
ness of the drug is perceived at once.
An explanation of the curious selec.
tive powers exhibited by the tongue
is that a variety of nerve f1bers are
present in that organ. each kind being
sensitive only to one of the four prin-
cipal classes of taste. These nerve d.
bers are distributed in varying num-
bers over different parts Of the tongue.
At the tip. for example, the nerves that
are sensitive to sweet and acid stimuli
are most numerous, and accordingly
in that locality those tastes are the
ones most readily perceived. At the
back of the tongue. on the contrary,
the nerve tibers concerned in the per-
ception of bitterness prevail over the
others.-New York Press.

PERFORMING LIONS.
PeriIs That Come With Msr.9Inq
Those Vicious Animals.

! asked Captain Ronavita once what
be considered his most dangerous mo-
nent when he performed with his
twenty-seven lions. He said that he
thought 1t was when be first entered
the arena. The moment before when
be had to drive this great herd of lions
in. was almost as bad, but the first
few minutes when The crowd of lions
entered were terribly uncertain and
undoubtedly the most dangerous.
In the first place. with such a crowd
there was the danger of being pushed
or knocked down, Then there was the
danger of tripping among them or of
stepping on their tails, for many of
them would lie down and roll over and
over as a preliminary to the perform
ance. and If be were not struck by
their feet he was just as likely to be
struck across the face or body with
their strong. ropelike tails.
In getting them into their places
there was also considerable danger.
for in such crowd it is difficult to
treat each animal according to its pc
culiar idiosyncrasies. and a flick of the
whip intended for one lion who would
be fairly Indifferent TO it is likely to
be caught by another to whom it will
revolt the whole number will always
side with the one that caused it.-Ellen

People owe A Debt.

The people of every community owe
a debt of gratitude to their newspapers.
Some of them are not always eager to
discharge that debt. They are rather
inclined to give the editor the worst of
it. They seem to forget for the time
being that the newspapers have already
shielded or defended them, in their
private lives and saved them from BUSH
ness ruin and social ostracism. The
newspapers would probably do the same
thing again even in the face of provo
cation and the memory of those peo
pies base ingraditude. The trouble is
that, while exposing the moral obliquity
OF some, pain and sorrow and humlia-
ton are brought upon Others who are
innocent. That is another reason why
the well-regulated newspaper remains
quiesceut under aggravating circum-
stances.
