f HE BOODLIN BEER,
Some Big Figures on Business
Being Brought Out
IN THE LICENSE COUBT.
Thousands of Dollars Dropped Into
Brewers' Pockets.
MOTHER WHOLESALERS' DAI
The court again switched off yesterday
and indulged in a little more wholesale
business. The Twenty-sixth ward was taken
up, furnishing eight applications, as fol
lows: Charles B. Dietz, 2fo. 1919 Jane
street; William I)iven, No. 1733 Carson
street; John O'Connor, No. 1814 Carson
street; John Sell, Xo. 156 Eichteenth street;
Henry Strauch, No. 2001 Carson street; John
Schwarz, No. 129 Seventeenth street; M.
"Winter & Bros., brewers, No. 2022 Jose
phine street, and "William F. Zoeller, No.
1807 Carson street.
Dietz is by trade a molder, suffered a
rupture and went to saloonkeeping. For
some time the Humboldt Dramatic and Lit
erary Association met at his house and
drank beer. Dietz sold on Sunday in 18S7.
Diven is a beer bottler in the Sixth ward,
and wants a general wholesale license. He
sold on " Sunday in 1887. O'Connor
has a wholesale house. He admitted
'sales of pints and half pints on
doctors' orders. Judge Ewing told him that
such sales were in clear violation of the
law, and he expressed surprise that a man
like Mr. O'Connor should do such a busi
ness. Sell wishes to combine liqnor with
his grocery trade, which has recently been
bad. Against Strauch, who was never in
in the liquor trade, Harvey Chess and other
neighbors, filed a remonstrance. In 1888,
when relused a retail license, Strauch posted
in tbe window of his bakery the names of
tbepeotiiewho had remonstrated against
him. As be was naturalized in October,
1887, Judge Ewing said: "You exhibited
characteristic modesty by thus posting the
names of old citizens." Strauch could not
see that his act was wrong. Judge Magee
said it was vindictive and vicious. "It is a
want of moral sense," said Judge Ewing.
KEMEI5E1IEED TOO LATE.
"A year ago," said Judge Magee, "a man
down "on Sixth street posted Judge White's
name in his window. And by the way, I
don't know whether he cot a license this
year or not. I lorgot all about it until this
minute."
The hero of the episode referred to, who
attracted much attention a year ago, has
been this year granted a license in the
Twelfth ward. He is an old soldier.
Schwarz is a grocer and on the speak-easy
list He gets beer, he says, for private use
only. Winter & Bros, did a business last
year of $240,000. Zoeller's wholesale trade
was $23,000.
There were 11 applications, all by Ger
mans, from the Twenty-seventh ward, on
the hill: Wendel Daub, Mt. Oliver and
Angelo streets; John Enibs, No. 49 Pius
street; John Hock, No. 163 Pius street; Mrs.
Elizabeth Klein, No. 86 Schuyler street;
Anthony Kunzelman, No. 22 Pius street;
Laur Bros., brewers, Birmingham and
Brownsville roads; John Lohnnauu, Browns
ville avenue, near Eighth street; John H.
Nusser, Manor street, at the bead of South
Twelfth; Jacob Scherrer, No. 219 Washing
ton avenue; John G. Shademan, No. 2318
Josephine street; John Wylrnd, No. 22
Kosciusko street.
Daub, in 1SS7, was convicted for Sunday
selling. He is on the speak-easy list, but
averred his total inability to explain how
that occurred. Judge Ewing thought he
could explain, but he simply smiled at the
witness and called lor "next." Embs and
Hock have both-been in the saloon business,
and Hock is on the speak-easy list. "Mis
take, Judge," he said; "mistake." Mrs.
Klein keeps a candy store, two boarders, and
three children. Her husband presided be
hind a bar before he was called away from
this wicked world. Kunzelman, an ex
saloon keeper, has cigars, solt drinks, three
boarders and a place on the speak-easy list.
He was prosecuted last year, bnt he said it
was "spite work."
DID A JUG TBADE.
Henry Laur said his brewing trade was
540,000. He did a jug trade until three
weeks ago. Eohrmann is the Alderman lor
the Thirtieth ward, going out of office in
three weeks. Nasser has sold 6,000 barrels
of beer during a year. He has three licensed
saloons, 700 people who receive an eighth a
week and several who get two eighths.
Scherrer is a double-header, having been re
fused a retail license. Schademan expects
to raise money on his wife's properly. This
is a method ot raising the wind which Judge
Ewing does not at all approve. Wyland
wants a bottlers' license, He expects to
work up a trade among the Poles.
There were 1C applicatious from the
Twenty-eighth ward, as follows: Anthony J.
Auen, No. 10 South Diamond; Peter J.
Auen, No. 1200 Bingham street: John Cal
lahan, No. 49 Fi.tecnth street; James Dona

Anthqny Auen is a son of Peter, the
brewer,and on money which his father will
loan him he wishes to open a wholesale
liquor store next door to the brewery. Peter
Auen said his year's trade was 30,000.
Judge Ewing said: "The Criminal Conrt
has shown us that, had the officers of the
law done their duty, you would have been
prosecuted in several cases."
TIRED OF HIS TBADE. '
Donahue is a nailer for Chess, Cook &
Co., and was born in Allegheny county.
He is a brother-in-law of Bichard Bennett,
of Bennett Bros., wholesalers. Hammel &
Kirscb, wholesale dealers, formed their
partnership last August Their business in
nine months was 840,000. Herscbenroether
is a butcher with ample capital. Keller
and Wilson are inexperienced in the liquor
trade. Keller is a tinner and Wilson a
heater. Kauffeld has been 21 years in the
wholesale business. His brother, Fritz, has
been granted a retail license. Kauffeld
.said that one-eighth ot his whisky trade is
with country people. He is on the speak
easy list The jug business, he said, was
dying out
Kiphen, an ex-saloon keeper, denied the
speak-easy charge. Attorney Christy asked
that the case be held open until he could
get witnesses against the applicant Sub
poenas were issued and the court took a
recess until 1:30 p. 21.
After dinner Charles H. Lenk was
called. Callahan and Kennedy have been
granted retail licenses and have no interest
in the wholesale cases. Lent has never
sold liqucr, being engaged with Gray's Iron
Line He has only 2,000, and he has not
that It is in the possession of a
brother-in-law, Frank Hunkel. Murphy
is dead. Weber is a bartender, 27
years old, who has been in America 11
years. Smith is a driver for the Keystone
Brewing Company, and was naturalized
February, 1889. Walkosky is a Polish He
brew who said that he came to the United
States in 1884 and was naturalized Septem
ber 19, 1888. This short-term naturaliza
tion rather surprised the court, and when
MJfcTifaifl '' T11 -iiiftAr i -' it 1 iii rmiiiil'ifiit'iy iilfAiTiTlitiii&ri
Walkosky saw that he had made a mistake
he began to protest that he might be mis
taken. Judge Ewing told him to bring in
his papers. Weisberger is collector for the
Iron Citv Brewing Compauy, and formerly
kept saloon. His partner, Schlanger, is
traveling drummer for the same company.
WADED INTO THEM.
Attorney Christy waded into the two gen
tlemen with a flood of questions without
getting very satisfactory replies. It was
shown that advertisements had been in
serted in Hungarian papers in behalf of the
Iron City Brewing Company, directing
those who wished to buy beer to write to
Weisberger, No. 17 Diamond street, or
Schlanger, No. 49 Third avenue. Christy
asked if Schlanger had not gone to New
York to escape arrest in Westmoreland
countv. The applicant said he had gone to
New York for five months, but denied that
an arrest had been threatened.
The Twenty-ninth ward has but fire ap
plicants: Lewis W. Bender, No. 801 Car
son street; George Laur, No. 621 Carson
street; George Schwarfzel, No. 74 Twelfth
street; F. W. Spreen, No. 701 Carson street,
and Charles A. Weisberg, No. 1003 Carson
street
Laur is a brother of the brewers in the
Twenty-seventh ward, and is a double
header. Weisberg is an ex-saloon keeper who
had a wholesale license in 1887, but denied
that he sold any at retail. He is the first
applicant who made such a statement.
The Thirtieth ward had 13 applicants.
Charles J. Alwes, No. 18 Carson street

Mary Yeager, No. 317 Carson street
MONEY IN THE BUSINESS.
Mr. Pontefract said their business last
year exceeded $300,000. Gallagher is down
as a speak-easy. Patrick and James Lyons
are brothers, and James is on the same list
with Gallagher. Milligan is the gentleman
who keeps a wholesale house opposite the
Panhandle depot, and who received such a
severe scoring during the retail hearings be
cause he sold liquors by the drink. Splane
was sick and could not come. Alwes and
Soffel naturally did not appear.
Trapp has a wholesale license and his
trade has been mostly in bottles and jugs.
He said he had not sold a whole barrel dur
ing the year. Ward and Waggoner are ex
saloon keepers. Mr. Christy tried to show
oy w 1111am Lippincott tnat Waggoner gets
drunk, but the witness would not make
good the claim. Mrs. Yeager keeps a gro
cery and says that the grocery business is
"terrible."
There were three applicants from the
Thirty-first ward, of whom one, Henry Bin
der, withdrew. Joseph Greenewald, at No.
94 Washington avenue, was in the business
lor several years, as was also Jacob S.
Schneider, atNo. 41 Washington avenue.
The Thirty-second ward, Mt. 'Washington,
had lour applicants Frederick Fuhs, Nos.
36 and 38 Boggs avenue; John G. Hisler,
Sycamore and Kearsarge streets; William
Kramer, Boggs avenue and Whitworth
street, and Fred Shultis, No. 58 Shiloh
street
Fuhs wants a bottler's license. He has
been driving a beer wagon for A. A.
Milligan, ana his house is reported
as a speak-easy. Hisler drives a beer
wagon for Pier & Dannals, and is also on
the speak-easy list. Kramer applied for
both wholesale and bottler's license, and
withdrew the wholesale.
XOT ENTITLED TO ONE.
The case of Fred W. Kiphen, Twenty
eighth ward, was then called up by Mr.
Christy, who had two witnesses present
Attorney Morton Hunter said: "If the
Court please, I guess we will admit that we
are not entitled to a license and will with
draw the application."
Shultis is a drummer for Bobitzer, the
wholesale liquor dealer. He wants to start
up for himself on the hill, in order to save
rent He has 3,000 worth of whi6ey in
bond.
The Thirtv-third ward furnished five ap
plicants: John Conway, granted retail
license; Peter Davin, No. 305 West Carson
street; W. L. Lippencot, West Carson and
Smithfield; Anthony O'Brien, No. 141 West
Carson street, and "Edward L. O'Malley,
No. 5 West Carson street
Davin is a puddier. Lippencot has been
working for A. A. Milligan, and confessed
that he had doue some of the retail selling
in Milligan's place. O'Brien was a saloon
keeper for 12 vears, and has $10,000 in the
Bank of Pittsburg. For a year and a half
he has been keeping a saloon in Youngs
towh, but did not move his family from
Pittsburg. O'Malley said that he had never
drunk in his life. He is a rolling mill
worker. He has no written lease for No. 5
West Carson., which is now a storage room

Carlin is licensed to retail and Gilroy did
not answer. Obernauer was formerly in the
liquor business with a brother on Fifth
avenue. Sullivan is a son-in-law to Mrs.
Maria Fleming, who keeps a speak-easy.
"This," said Judge Ewing, "is an out
rageous attempt to practice fraud on the
court The son applies for a retail license
and the son-in-law for wholesale. Call the
next." Attorney Brennen tried to-explain
and palliate, but the court would not
listen. Mrs. Wagner was granted retail
license.
The last ward in Pittsburg, ths Thirty
sixth, had four applicants: William O.
Gundelfioger, No. 158 Steuben street, nor
licensed; Morris Gibankv, granted retail
license; Henry J. Oberhelman, Nos. 142

Swaney, sold beer on commission. He de
nied selling beer to the Eagle's Nest, a gang
of young fellows who meet in a shanty on
one or the hills back of the West End. He
said that, as he had the only liquor store in
the West End, he had great difficulty to
keep order about his place. Oberhelman is
a grocer, who expects to give up that busi
ness. On July 27, 1889, he was convicted
for selling cigars on Sunday. He is on the
speak-easy list, but declared that to be a
grievous error. A 'brother was recently
convicted for selling liquor illegally. Court
then adjourned at 0 o'clock, and the judges
went to work to complete the wholesale list

KILLING A CHUKCtt
How it is Often Done by Those
Should Build It Up.
Who
DO NOT SHOOT AT THE ORGANIST.
Many Called to be Pastors, Among Them
ire Many Licentiates.
INFIDELITY IS A"0 ON THE INCfiEASE
Papers are constantly being read before
associations of ministers, and lectures from
the pews are being delivered as constantly
on "How to Give Life to a Church," but
Church Work pithily expresses some of the
actions of those who are doing the very op
posite in striving "How to Kill a Parish."
In order to do this it says:
Absent yourself from the Sunday evening
services. It takes a very dull or careless
minister to stand up against empty pews.
Stay at home whenever it rains on Sunday,
or it is hot or cold. Never let the pastor
know that he does you or anyone else any
good. Take a class in Sunday school and
be at your place about three Sundays out of
five, and late the other two. Attend to
church meeting if you have the opportunity
of go'ng anywhere else. Snub strangers. Be
quest the ushers never to put one in your pew.
If one is near youjn church, never hand him a
hymnal. Never speak to anyone whom you
see there Sunday after Snnday, unless you have
been jegnlarly introduced.
If you are sick, do not send word to the pas
tor, but let him find it out himself. He will
probably call about the time yon are able to go
out and spend the day. la the meantime take
every occasion to tell the church people that
you fear the minister is not much of a pastor;
that he doesn't seem to know who are sick;
that he has not been to see yon for weeks, and
all the time you have been so miserable.
If tintes are hard, money scarce, business
dull, inform the officers that you must give up
your pew. You cannot afford to do anything
for the church this year. By the time you have
paid for your tobacco, ribons, jewelry, livery
and excursions, you really haven't anvthing
left Never "talk up" your church. Do not
let outsiders know that a church exists. Go
with others elsewhere, whenever you get a
chance.
Tell the members when yon get back how you
enjoyed the "funny" minister, and what splen
did music they had solos, duets, choruses,
etc, and you don't see why we can't have
something ot the sort It docs "draw."
.'
None of ourbnslne39l Wandering and sinful.
All through the streets of the city they (to,
Hungry and homelesa in the wild weather,
None of our business! Dare we say so?
None of our business! Children's wan faces.
Haggard and old with their suffering and sin,
(Hold fast your darlings on tender, warm bosom,
borrow without, but the home-light within.)
What does it matter that some other woman,
Some common mother, in bitter despair.
Walls In a garret, or sits In a cellar;
Too heart-broken for weeping or prayer?
None of our business! Sinful and fallen,
How they may jostle us close on the streetl
Hold back your garments I Scorn !-tbey are used

Pass on the other side, lest yon should meet.

When will tho unseemly conflict cease In
the Evangelical Associations? To be blshons
or not to be, that is the question now with

others now see them, they would cease their
factious quarrel.
On Monday a Sunday school convention in
connection with the Allegheny Presbytery was
held in tbe First Church. The schools of the
Presbyterv were divided into three districts.
Rev. De Witt M. Benbam delivered an address
on -Modern Methods of Instruction in the Sab

Rev. Robert F. Shinn fell dead in his pul.
pit at Norris, 111., on March 23. Ho had just
closed his sermon on "The Uncertainty of
Lite," by remarking that "at any moment we
may be on tbe brink of the grave." He leaned
his head on tho pulpit and expired, truly with
his harness on.
A notice was posted conspicuously in a
LeadviUe church, which read: "Please do not
shoot at the organist, he does the best he can."
This is equaled by one that is posted in Wyom

ices in George Hall. Please leave your guns
with the usher."

We often trouble ourselves about infidelity,
and ever and anon are disposed to think this
an age when It is very prevalent It will do
many people good to read the following utter
erance from Mr. D. L. Moody, recently made to
a reporter: "I do not find as much infidelity
now in a month, in questions which are asked
by the voung men after a meeting, as I used
tofind'five years ago in one day. Then the
young men were full of Ingersollism, and
thought that Christianity was Worn out. But
thev have found that there is nothing in infi
delity. It tears down, but does not build up.
It does not give anything."
The JUedical Jou rnaf makes a good showing
for tbe excellent health of ministers: Compar
ing the death rate of ministers, in respect of
the causes of death with the mortality of other
men, tho following results are obtained: Of
S6.331 clergymen, 160 died of infectious diseases.
The usual experience of an insurance company
would have made the number 239: that Is, the
mortality of the clergymen was only 79 per cent
of the ordinary death rate. The death rate of
physicians from these diseases was 127 above the
usual rate. Of lung affections, excluding con
sumption, 811 clergymen died, instead ot 323,
the number expected from mortality tables.
Physicians died of such diseases 115 per cent
above tho average rate. Between the ages of
26 and 4l the mortality of Roman Catholic
clergymen, compaicd with Protestant ministers
of the same age, was as 1ST to 109. while be
tween the ages of 46 and G3 the difference was
as 154 to 10U, and between the ages of 6G and 85
as 118 to 100.

GENBEAL TEADE SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
rsrxcu.1. teliqbax to thk dispatoh.i
Netv Tore, April 11. Special telegrams
to Sradstreet's show that owing to Imore
prevalent spring weather and improvement
in the condition of country roads, there has
been a noticeable gain in the demand from
interior merchants. This influence has been
the more conspicuous at Boston, Chicago,
Memphis, St Paul, Omaha, Kansas City,
St. Louis, New Orleans, and to some extent
at Pittsburg. Fears of farther damage from
overflows along the Mississippi are subsid
ing. Mercantile collections generally are
unsatisfactory, though signs of improvement
are noted.
Earnings of the 129 railroad companies for
March aggregate 531,004,479, a gain over
March of last year of 8.7 per cent This is
smaller than any monthly increase since
last summer. The reduced overland cotton
movement and floods at the South .have re
duced the earnings of roads in the Missis
sippi Valley. The heavy movement of crop'
"West and Northwest does notcjuite offset tbe
eflect of rate cutting in that section. Earn
ings of 127 companies for the first quarter of
the year aggregate 590,359,890, a gain over
last year of 10.8 per cent
WHEAT OTRMEB.
Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) the
past week: have equaled y,lt.7l Dusneis,
against 1,220,073 bushels 111 the like week
ot 1889 and 1,621,896 bushels last week.
Wheat has shown marked firmness on un
favorable weather conditions and reports of
falling off in condition in the winter-sown
crop, and prices have advanced 33 cents.
An unusual amount of negotiation has
been in progress during the week in reference
to iron and steel products tor immediate as
well as remote deliveries, but this has not yet
arrested the downward tendency in orices.
Actual transactions have been of limited
proportions. The total weekly output of
pig iron during March has been reduced
about 4,000 or 5,000 tons. This is taken as
an encouraging element in the situation.
Eastern drygoods commission men report
a slightly better reorder demand from West
ern jobbers. There is a considerable distri
bution ot spring dress goods through price
concessions. Prices in the regular way are
firm except as to bleached cotton, which
favors buyers, and print cloths are l-16Jc
higher.
TEADE IMPKOVING.
E. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says:
"With larger tonnage in motion than in any
previous year at the same season, a larger
volume ot currency in circulation, larger
payments through clearing houses by
nearly 10 per cent, larger imports and ex
ports, and larger domestic production in ag
riculture, in iron and steel, leather and boot
and shoe manufacture, the country has en
tered upon the second quarter of
tbe year with great Hopefulness.
Trade throughout the country seems
gradually improving. Yet there are
unfavorable symptoms which do not disap
pear, but grow more distinct and threaten
ing. The iron industry has advanced too
rapidly the expected set-back has begun.
Furnaces in blast April 1 were of 175,671
tons weekly output, against 180,091 March
1. The production for the quarter may he
estimated at 6,250,000, and stocks on nana
are accumulating. Prices are lowerPSouth
ern No. 1 beiDg offered at 517 50 and 18.
while bids of 533 are sought for steel rails.
BAH IEON BETTEE.
The business in bar iron is better, with no
change in price; plates are moving at very
unsatisfactory prices, and structural iron is
not as active as makers wish. Coal is still
stagnant, the output (or the quarter having
been 668,032 tons, or nearly 10 per cent less
than last year's, with accumulating stocks
unsold. Coppir has been steady at 14c,
tin inactive at 20Jc and lead dull at 53 85
bid.
The speculative markets have been more
active, with a higher range of prices on the
whole. Sales of wheat heretofore have
reached 74,000,000 bushels, and
the price has advanced Sc,
though exports have been only about
equal to last year's for the week on account
ot more definite reports of injury. Corn is
also half a cent stronger, with sales for the
week of 11,000,000 bushels, and oats nearly
1 cent higher. Pork and lard are steady,
but hogs 20 cents per 100 ponnds dearer.
Coffee for speculation has advanced one
fourth, and the high prices have checked
actual consumption. Petroleum has de
clined 1 cents with small sales, but sugar
has been iirmly held. The average of all
prices for commodities is but a shade higher
than a week ago, some manufactured
products having declined.
CHEERFUL EETOItTS.
Reports from other cities are more gener
ally favorable than is usual. Boston finds
improvement in wool 'and leather, and
domestic trade active in boots and shoes,
cotton goods and lumber, and in other build
ing materials. Philadelphia notes few sale)
ot wool, and prices are less firm and a good
trade in chemicals, liquors and leaf tobacco.
Chicago grain receipts are still large, dry
goods sales show a slight increase with good
payments, and there are' liberal orders ior
boots and shoes. St. Louis again reports
the Southern district somewhat damaged by
floods, and collections are rather less satis
factory. At Pittsburg there is a better feel
ing among iron manufacturers; at Cleve
land an improvement in drygoods and hard
ware; at Detroit a slow improvement and
manufacturers busy, and at other Western
cities a general improvement and a satisfac
tory volume of trade. At the South, out
side of the direct effect ot the floods, trade is
good and less time is asked than usual, good
crops and high prices having swelled the
cash surplus of dealers.
MONEY GENERALLY EAST.
The monetary situation is not threatened.
Interior markets are generally easier at
Kansas City and Milwaukee, with more
demands. At Cleveland the demand is such
as to cause some stiingency. Complaints of
slow collections are distinctly less frequent.
It is not to be overlooked that the West and
South have been drawing from last year
enormously for products sold, while
the purchasing of goods is not
much more than in other years.
Thus the east-bound tonnage for the
past five weeks from Chicago has
been 442,404 tons against 290,713 last year,
bnt in quantities or values shipped West
ward, no such increase is discoverable.
The business failures occurring through
out the country number 209, as compared
with a total of 206 lis week. For the cor
responding week of last year the figures
were239.
FIKE IN A TLNEMEKT.
Tbreo Children Rerfcued by Firemen From
the Room In vtilcb They Were Locked.
Kansas City, Mo., April 11. Fire
caused by the explosion of a gasoline stove,
at noon to-day, in one of a row of a dozen
small tenement houses at the corner of Twen
tieth and Penn streets, destroyed six of them.
The wind was blowing furiously at the time,
and the flames spread with such rapidity
that many of the tenants barely escaped with
their lives.
John Garvin jumped from a second-story
window, and sustained severe injury. He
was removed to the City Hospital. The
three small children of Mrs. Harmon, whom
their mother had locked in the house when
she went marketing, were rescued by the
firemen from a secondstory window. There
were many other narrow escapes. The loss Is
510,000.

SNAPPED THE SPOTTERS.
A Smart Pennsylvania Conductor Got Photos
oT Five of Them IIow the Spies Car
ried on Operations Womai'i Tears
Used to Good Effect.
The passenger conductors on the Pan
handle road are living in mortal terror of
the guillotine. It was whispered around
the Pennsylvania yards yesterday that
about the next place the headchopoing
machine would strike would be the South
west system. Already two men have been
discharged on the west end of the Pan
handle, and tbe Pittsburg conductors are won
dering if any vacancies will occur in their
ranks.
There were no new discbarges on the Fort
Wayne and C. & P. Roads yesterday. A good
story comes from the amain line. One of the
conductor, who has a through run, is an ama
teur photographer, and has pot in idle
moments taking snap shots at mountain views,
while his train was spinning along at the rate
of 40 miles an hour. He accidentally got on to
the fact that "spotters" were being pat on his
train. Be tried an experiment that proved a
success. While one of the spotters had bis at
tention attracted tbe conductor "snapped" him
and got a good picture. Ho said nothing,
and awaited developments, not on the picture
but on the spotter. The latter could not trip
tbe conductor into doing anything against tbe
rules, and a few days latter another spotter
was pat on. The conductor also got a "view"
of him, and he kept adding to his collection
nntil be now has the likenesses of five men
supposed to bu spotters. He is now distribut
ing copies of tbe snap shots to tbe other con
ductors, and the usefulness of these five men
is at an end on tbe main line at least.
A short time ago a spotter boarded Frank
Stacey's train, on the f't Wayne:, at Home
wood. He offered the conductor S2 to ride to
Massillon. Mr. Htacey asked for 75 cents more,
tbe man said he had no more money. He
claimed to be an old passenger man himself,
and on fraternal grounds asked to be carried to
bis destination. Tbe conductor refused, and
upon threatening to put tbe man off the train
when ho got as far as tbe S2 would
carry hirrr, the man handed over the 75
cents. Mr. Stacey then punched out a receipt,
and as he was doing so the man said: "Oh put
the money in your pocket Nobody will know
any better." He walked down the aisle of the
car and took a seat at the door. The conductor
followed him and offered him the receipt. Tbe
man refused to take it saying he bad no use
for it Stacey put tbe receipt in tbe man's coat
pocket however, and made him take it
The company had women spotters at work.
One of them got on a train and was short 16
cent in her fare. The conductor threatened
to put her off, but tbe woman began to cry.
Tbe conductor could not stand this, and said he
would pay tbe 1G cents out of his own pocket
The woman then wanted him to kejp the
money, and refused the duplex receipt

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
On the Female Face.
Superfluous hair is an excessive growth of
hair on tbe upper lip, chin, cheeks, throat, fore
bead, between the eyebrows, on the nose and
ears; also on men's cheeks above tbe beard line
and from moles and birthmarks. It is snrons
lngly prevalent, we see it in the chnrcb. theater,
on the street and wherever ladies congregate.
This is one of the most distressing and annoy
ing b'emishes that any lady can be afflicted
with.
The use of depilatories, tweezers, scissors or
razors all make these bairs grow harsher,
coarser and more numerous, as hundreds of
ladles know to their sorrow.

Eermanently and forever destroys superfluous
air by the
ELECTRIC NEEDLE OPERATION.
This Is a purely scientific operation and Is
indorsed by all physicians and surgeons ot
eminence as being the only method in the
world by which the hair can be destroyed so
tnat it can never grow again.
,Dr. Van Dyck has operated for years, has
treated hundreds of cases and has acquired a
national reputation in electro surgery.
Stop tbe use of depilatories, tweezers, scissors
or razors and consult Dr. Van Dyck at once
and have the hairs destroyed forever; office 02
