CURIOUS TEMPERANCE LAW.
The One Eufofead In Pomona. Cai- Said
to Bo Unique.
Tho growth ot temperance sentiment in
southern California in the past few years
la marvelous. and today, outside of Los
Angelos, all local elections hare prohibi
tion and high license as their sole Issues.
There are no party lines between Repub
licans, Democrats and Populists, and v&terg
who have been arrayed against one anoth
er in the fall or general elections join
bands and array themselves against former
allies on the question ot issuing saloon li
censes for a large turn or of having total
prohibition of the local liquor business.
Home of the local campaigns are very heat
ed and warm the communities much more
than general political ones. At the last
local election in Pomona the high license
party won after a lively campaign of four
weeks. The city had been a strict prohibi
tion town for two years.
The law now in force is probably the
most curious in tho world. Matthew Dunk
ley, president of tho great temperunoe
league of Great Britain, says it is a re
markable law and worthy of study. It is .
known on tho Pacific coast as tho Pomona
saloon law. In its {rreparation tho ideas ot
dozens of eminent leaders in temperance
work were considered. Tho purpose was
to provide a drinking place, pure and sim
ple, for men who must drink, to put those
places under tho most strict surveillance
and at tho same time to keep women’s
and children's livelihoods from going over
a bar,
Tbo Pomona saloon law provides that
there may bo but two drinking places
there—a community of over 6,000 popula
tion.
Tho saloon or barroom must bo on a
principal thoroughfare of tno city. It
must bo on the first or ground floor, and
its front must bo one-half of plain glass
and flush with the sidewalk. No frosted,
painted or stained glass may lie used in
tho windows or doors; and there must be
no screens whatever. The view from the
street to the bar m ust always bo free and
unobstructed, so that a person on the
street may at any thus see who ate within
tho saloon.
Then, also, there can bo no rear or side
doors to the saloon, no collar cr basement,
no adjunct, wing, side room or alcove.
Tho saloon or barroom must boa single
rectangular or square apartment. There
must bo no allurements there other than
drink itself. To that end - there may be
but one seat, bench or chair in tho saloon.
That must be behind the bar and for the
solo uso of tho saloon keeper or bartender.
Barrels or casks must bo separated from
tho room by a railing so that they may not
furnish seats or leaning conveniences for
patrons of the saloon. No pictures, ad
vertisements or show cards may bo on tho
walls, and nothing to eat may bo served,
given away or sold there, not even crack
ers or pretzels. All games are strictly pro
hibited in the saloons, and newspapers,
periodicals or books aro tabooed along
with any table or shelf upon which they
might bo placed. word, tho Pomona
barroom or saloon is simply a drinking
place, surrounded by all tho publicity pos
sible. —Boston Transcript.
Mr. Stoggleby’s Alarm Clocks.
“I never set my alarm clock nowadays,”
said Mr. Stoggleby, ‘‘without thinking of
one I used to got up by onco and never
had to set at all. I was working in a river
town, where I had to get up at 4 o’clock
in the morning. There was a steamboat
running on the river that used to pass our
place every morning at 4 o’clock. This
steamboat bad lost a bucket from one of
her wheels, -and when this wheel was
turning the next bucket after tho one that
was missing used to come down on tho
water with a slap. It woke me up tho first
morning I was there. You could hear it
a long distance off, the steady churn of the
wheels broken at regular intervals by the
chug of this bucket. After that first morn
ing I never set my alarm clock. The
steamboat was running on a schedule, she
was always on time, and every morning
she’d wake mo up as she went past pound
ing down the river.
‘‘But one morning a man came up from
tho mill pounding on my door. ‘Stoggy,
me boy,’ ho says, ‘wakeup! It’ss o’clock.’
And so it was, and I wondered why they
had taken off the steamboat. That night
I set my alarm clock, and at 4 o’clock
next morning I was up. And at that hour
I heard the steamboat go by just the same,
only now she churned past as slick and
smooth and soothing as you please. They
hadn’t taken her off, but they T Sput a now
bucket in her wheel.”—New York Sun.
Romantic Tale of a Georgia Girl.
In the Big Hurricane railroad wreck of
March 17, 1888, near Blackshear, Ga., Mr.'
and Mrs. George Gould were both slightly
injured. They were cared for at the Brown
House, a hostelry kept by Dr. and Mrs.
Allen Brown. During the stay of the
Goulds a little child, Lilly Converse, &
years of age, accompanied Mrs. Brown on
her visits to Mrs. Gould’s room. The wav
ing, flaxen hair and fair complexion oftthe
child and her pretty manners and lovely
disposition were noticed by Mrs. Gould,
who professed to have fallen in love with
her.
The child’s mother had been deserted by
her husband and was penniless and help
less, and tho Goulds made her all sorts of
offers for Lilly, but tho mother refused to
part with her. After Mrs. Gould left
Blackshear she corresponded with Mrs.
Converse and made repeated efforts to
have Lilly come to her. Finally Mrs. Con
verse died in Savannah, and for awhile the
child was lost sight of, but it now appears
that she is attending a boarding school in
New York, and it is surmised that Mr.
and Mrs. Gould aro educating her. She is
about 15 years of age and is said to be a
very beautiful girl.—Philadelphia Press.
Tho Mog Voted.
The Rev. Dr. J. C. Wingo was recently
re-elected pastor of the Baptist church at
Carrollton by the most unanimous vote
ever cast by its members.
It was at the annual church meeting, I
over which Dr. Fitts was presiding. One
of the members has a pet pug dog that has
been taught a number of tricks, one being
to rise to his hind legs and walk at the
command ‘‘stand.”
Dr. Wingo had retired in order that the
church might vote on the question of his
re-election. One brother had moved the
re-election of Dr. Wingo. Another had
seconded the motion, and several speeches
had been made, while the pug dog, blink
ing solemnly, sat in the front part of the
church. The question was called for, and
Dr. Fitts put it. “All who aro in favor
of the ro-eleetion of Brother Wingo will
please rise and stand. ”
Everybody rose, and then the pug dog
f;ot up very solemnly on his hind legs and
walked around in front of the pulpit.
Everybody laughed, and then Dr. Wingo
was informed that he had .been re-elected •
by tho unanimous vote of tbo members and
the dog.—Atlanta Journal.
flighty B»v»iopud Seam of SaaaHiug.
Why should It be considered strange that
an animal depending on ita nose as much
as the dog dues should be able to distin
guish one scent from another when man
kind can do the same to fully as delicate a
degree? A friend of mine told me he could
loan over a kettle of boiling glue stock
(horrible smelling stuff) and distinguish
any perfume from any other on a handker
chief Julia Brace (deaf-blind) could as
sort the clothing of her fellow pupils after
coining from the wash by smelling It
Linnie Haguewo..;! (another deaf-blind
girl) know# every i.lsh on the table on
coming into the room. James Mitchell (a
deaf-blind man who died about 1830) rec
ognized his friends by their smell, and
even formed his likes or dislikes of stran
gers by that means. The Rev. M. B.
Wynne wrote me that his young brother
in-law could always tell whether a rabbit
was In its burrow by smelling at the open
ing.
The deaf blind always display this ex
treme delicacy of scenting powers (except,
of course, in such cases as Laura Bridge
man, Ragnhlld Kaata, Willie Caton, etc.,
where the senses of taste and smell were
‘destroyed by the disease which ruined
their sight and hearing), and it would
seem that they only appreciate distinctions
which those In possession of all their senses
neglect. I know that doctors will say that
tho organ of smell Is but vestigial In man,
while fully developed in dogs, but no
trained man tracking hound ever displayed
more delicate “nose” than Julia Brace did,
and a stubborn fact like that counts strong,
regardless of what anatomy says.—Forest
