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 and Stream.
