It was odd ndvlce from a mate, but, as Bradley could see, to his astonish . ment, there was no need of telling Captain Titcomb. It was plain enough tbat tbe letter knew his crew's condition and deliberately Ignored It. Men stumbled past bim, and he looked the other way. Simple orders were bungled, and be did not reprove. Only once tbat evening did bis wrath blaze out In the old manner. A sailor was. ordered by him to do something and. instead of the dutiful "Aye, aye, sir," he replied with a muttered curse. The next Instant Captain Ezra's list was between Ws eyes, and he fell, tu .be Jerked to his feet again and back to the rait wltb the skipper's band jtwlsted ln bl* shirt collar. "Hang you.*" said the captain between his teeth "1*11—I swear I'll"- Mr. Burke came running and wills- jpered eagerly In his commander's ear;.

"What's the matter?" asked Bradley. "Who"* hurt?" ' "It's the skipper," replied one ef the men tn a frightened voice. "He fell land hurt his bead.

"For God's sake"— he began, but was Interrupted by Burke, wbo. with a very' white face, was- descending the ladder. : I ' • "Hush up!", commanded the flrst mate. "Don't make a row.

As ne stooa tliere tlie baze blew aside for a moment, and be saw not more than two miles away and ahead of the schooner the twinkle of a light. Tben It'disappeared again.- He walked aft. One of the new-hands was at the wheel, and there was a distinct smell of rum In the vicinity. ' "Who gave you that course?" "Mr. Burke, sir," , • a Burke was standing by thl fore- shrouds, looking over the sidci, He started when Bradley touched his arm. "Excuse me, Mr. Burke," said the second mate. "Where are we?'1 "Turned tha Kip an hour or so ago." Burke's tone was distinctly unpleasant, "What are you doln' here?" "I couldn't sleep, so I came on deck a mlnyte. Isn't she pretty close In? I thought I saw the Skaklt light Just now." "Saw nothin'! Skakit light's away off yonder. Water enough here to float a Cunarder. What's ibe matter with you? 'Frald I ain't on to my Job? Wben I want your help I'll gsk for it. I've sailed these waters when you was a kid." "Well. I didn't mean to"- "Then shut up! You go below and 'tend to the skipper." Bradley bit his Up and turned away. If Burke was right, be bad no busiuess to Interfere; If he wasn't right the 'Thomas Doane wa* sharing the skoals altogether too clese. He went below, found Captain Titcomb sleeping-.quietly and a little later came oa deck' again to lean on tbe rail amid-' ship* and once more stare at the foggy darkness. A. big flgure loomed close beside bim. It was Swensen, and he obvloua- ' ly wanted to speak. ■ < . "Well) Swensen," . said Bradley, „"what |s It?" The Swede leaned forward and, shading bis mouth with his baud, whispered-hoarsely: "Mr. Ncekerson, you I there, you." This I* what had happened: The i schooner was pssslng out of tbe I sound, and, as the night was black _nd hazy, they were using the lead j frequently. The Thomas Doane-had s high after deck, and to reach the waist one .must descend a five foot I ladder. A' sailor, not too sober, had [thrown tbe lead and In passing aft I with the line had fouled It at'the lad- Ider. Captain Titcomb, losing bis tem- Iper at the man's clumsiness, had run [toward him, tripped In the line and j pitched head first over tbe fellow's lshoulder to the main deck. Tbe senior's body bad broken the fall some- lwhat, and.the skull was not fractured, i but lt was bad enough. The cook, who had helped bring the captain into the cabin, lingered after 'tbe first mate bad gone. Bradley questioned blm about the accident. ; "Thoma, he done lt," said the cook. "The line, sbe git mess up by the''— "He was drunk," broke ln Bradley. "He's been drunk all the afternoon. (Isn't that so?" The cook looked hastily at the ladder, then at the captain. Then, nodding emphatically, be whispered: "Ya-as, sir. They most all drank. I never seen so much drink on schooner —not on Cap'n Tltcomb's schooner, anyway, and I sail with him for Ave year." But Bradley would not go to bed. He was worried about the captain and even more worried about the schooner. He did not like Mr. Burke, and be wa* by no means sure -Judging by wbat he had seen—tbat the mate knew bow to handle a crew. About 2 o'clock be decided io go on deck. Bradley leaned on the rail and looked pyet thf.. wjter toward whej? the Bradley had been brought up to discourage familiarity wltb men before the mast "What are you talking about?" be asked sharply. "Nawthln' sir. Only be know thla course? Ah see Skaklt light twice yust now and only a mile 'n half off. That not 'hough—not here." , "Are you sure y.ou saw It?" "Yas, sir." Bradley turned away. He hated te risk another suuh from the mate and tm fully realized the danger of interfering with a superior officer, but Captain Titcomb was not In command, and here Vas Swensen a testimony to back his own that the schooner was running too close to. the dangerous Cape Cod beaches. Ths. course she was on was taking her still closer In. and the fog ' was growing thlckef. Tbls. time Burke was standing by the man at the wheel. He swore when the second mate approached and snarled," "Well, what'B the matter now?" "Mr. Burke, are you sure that wusn't the Skakit light I saw?

"Go below and stay below, or I'll find out why!" Then, as If be realized that he waa showing too much temper, he added In a milder tone: "It's all right. Nlekerson.

"What do we think of—what time, wbat plaee, what conditions?" The suggestion was received with favor, and here are some of the response-: "A new concrete sidewalk at noon, with the sun beating down on lt and your heels sinking in, and the beat reflected ln your face, and the air pervaded with the smell of tar." "The desert, with an exhausted caravan struggling to reach a mirage that hovers on the horizon, but doomed to perish of thl—it,.as perished the man and the animal wtfoae bleached bones they are passing." "Washing dishes ln the kitchen, with the thermometer at 95 out of door* and a hundred nnt. something within, with your hands so soapsudsy and greasy that you can't; lift them to your face to wipe away ttte" pelfsplra- tlon and with your whole being so tired and cross and miserable that you would cry-If you were not ashamed to." ...

And then from somewhere forward came a frightened yell and the sound of some one running. Swensen came bounding up the ladder from the main deck. | "Breakers ahead!"- ha shouted. "Breakers aheadl Put her over! Keep Mir. off, quick!" Burke's face went white and then crimson. "Breakers be hangedl" he cried. "Keep her as she Is!" . But the Swede was dancing up and .down. There were confused cries forward, nnd other men came running. "Starboard your helm!" bellowed Swensen. "Put her over! You can hear 'em! Listen!" He held up both hands to enforce silence, and for a.moment every soul on deck stood listening. The waves clucked along tbe schooner's side, the wind sang in the rigging, and the masts creaked. And then another sound grew, as It were, into Bradley's ears—a low, steady murmur, now rising, now sinking. He sprang toward the wheel. *" "Put her over!" he shouted. "There are breakers! Starboard your heluil Starboard!" '■■' '"'' • "Keep her. as .she Is!" billowed Burke, bending forward with bis fist* clinched. "Don't turn a spoke!"

Therefore he merely warded off the furious blow* aimed at bis bead and struggled silently, but the one sided light could not last long. Burke gradually backed bis opponent to the rail, and then without turning his bead he shouted: "Thoma, pass me a handspike. Lively, you"-' < • The maa Thoma—he was half drunk ahd naturally stupid—Obediently placed the handspike In the first mate'* hand. "New then!" panted Burke. "By"— And then Bradley struck—a balf arm appercut—right under the ugly, protruding chin. Burke's teeth clicked-together: he seemed to rise from the deck and fell backward at full length almost under the feet of Swensen. Bradley shoved tbe sailor from th* wheel and gave the latter a .whirl. The schooner shivered, turned slowly, the booms swept across ber deck,,and sbe heeled over on the other tack, with her nose pointing well away from the beach and toward the open sea. Burke lay still for an Instant, spread- eagled on the deck; then he rose to bis feet. Bradley stooped and picked' up: the handspike. The flrst mate glared at the man wbo had' knocked him down.

Story of How Beethoven Created His Wonderful Sonata. Beethoven's famous composition, the "Moonlight Sonata." is said to bave been composed under the following circumstances: One evening ns Beethoven and a friend were hurrying through, .tbe street* of Bonn they beard the familiar note* of the "Sonata In F." 'Something In the musician'* touch attracted the attention of Beethoven, aad he stopped and listened. Suddenly tbe music stopped, and the despairing word* of tbe musician came to them through tbe opeu window, "Oh, If I could but bear some really good musician play tbls wonderful piece!" and the word* ended In a sob. "Let na go in." said Beethoven. Tbey entered and found tbe player a young girl, poor and blind. Beethoven sat down at the old harpsichord and played as he had never played before. Hi* listeners were spellbound. "Tell us." they begged, "who are you?"' For answer be played the opening bar* ln the "Sonata In F." "It ls Beethoven!" tbey exclaimed In awe and admiration. Suddenly the candle flickered aud went ont Beethoven ceased playing and', bowed bis head upon his hand. His friend threw open the shutters. A flood of beautiful moonlight entered the room. Its transfiguring light touched up the poor old instrument and rested upon the noble flgure bowed before It The profound silence was broken at last by the musician, wbo said: "Listen. I will Improvise a sonata to the moonlight" Then was created this wonderful sonata, beginning In a sad, tender movement, the embodiment in sound of the gentle moonlight transfiguring and glorifying tbe dark earth. , Suddenly tbe music ceased, and with a brief farewell Beethoven hurried home to put upon paper thla famouB composition. ».

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA. NO ABILITY TO DIGEST FOOD Nervous System So Exhausted That Vital Organs Are Feeble in Action Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. The digestive system is a wonderful piece of machinery, but powor is necessary to make it effective. In this case the power is the nerve force contained in the body, and if the norve force is lacking the digestive system becomes crippled, and there is suffering iiom indigestion, nervous headaches, neuralgic pains, dizzy spells, weakness and discouragement. V ■■:'( i, Strength cannot be regained from the food you eat so long as digestion is so imperfect, but you can be restored by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, which contains in condensed pill form the very elements of nature which go to form new nerve force. Overwork, worry, anxiety and excessive mental effort exhaust the nervous system at a tremendous rate, and repair must be made before some dreadful form of nervous disease sets in. Dr. ChaBe's Nerve Food invigorates the nerves which control the digestive fluids, sharpens the appetite, is slightly laxative, so as to encourage the action of the bowels and strengthens every organ of the body. You can use this treatment feeling certain that every dose is doing you at least some good, and can prove it By noting your increase in weight. Mrs. J. B. Tardiff, Mariapolis, Man., writes: "When I began the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food my health was in a terribly bad condition. My doctor told me that I was going into consumption, and for three years my bowels were so loose and watery that I was continually kept weak and mn down. In spite of,the many remedies used I gradually grew worse and worse. I eould scarcely get about the house and suffered a great deal from backache, stomach and kidney troubles. "Dr. Chase's Nerve Food proved to be exactly what I needed, and by keeping up this treatment for a time. I got so strong and well that I did my own housework and sometimes worked in the fields without feeling any the worse for it. It is a pleasure as well as a duty for me to recommend Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. "My husband was cured of Kidney disease and Urinary troubles by using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills."

A family living ln Essex County found it something of a strain upon their ideas of hospitality to bo obliged every day to entertain a tedious wo- man of 80. The favorite book or tha necessary piece of work had to be put aside in order to shout bits of conversation in her ear. At last the father, in desperation, planned to go into a sudden fit of temper in the presence of the obnoxious caller in the hope of convincing her that they were not pleasant people to visit. Accordingly, one evening, when he returned from business and found the old lady present as usual, he began to talk loudly and in an irritated voice. Then, growing more excited. he stamped about the room, knocking furniture right and left, and ended by going out and banging the door after him. The old lady knitted away quietly through the confusion, and when the man was gone she turned to the family, and said in a comforting voice: "I reckon it was mighty lucky I was here, or you'd had to take it.

The market site has been selected by ballot, and the money by-law tor building the market passed, yet the Council Juggles with tbe matter. A clique has persistently endeavored to upset tiie .choice of the people, and has tried to defeat the establishing of a market. Now comes a philanthropic (?) corporation and offers Its Burrard Inlet site for the market, taking In exchange the False Creek stte and a few thousand dollars, also binding ("he city to maintain a market for five years! If its site is so valuable why seek False Creek frontage It is evidently realised bow valuable False Creek frontage will be fn the future and this corporation wants some of it before it is too late. A semi-canvass has been made by telephone and post cards, by those interested in changing the location, t_e result, according to theft own arrangement of the figures, presented to the Council. The Council immediately kow-towa to these people and refers back to its committee the question,-which a fow days previously had been declared a* settled ln favor of the False Creek location.

Like tbe flowers that bloom In the spring the yonng girl Just budding into womanhood is an inspiring sight and; she is usually beautiful if she is perfectly healthy. She stays bea-flfnl Just so long as her health and constitution remain good. Let her be nervous. have backache, sleepless nights, aad bow soon does It take tor wrinkles,' crow's feet and dark circles to appear, in the facet Her cheeks were rosy; nntil she began to sutler from woman s, weaknesses and tbe constantly near- ring pains and drains brought her qniokly from the beautiful age to the: premature middle age. tt was _ot< meant for women to suffer so—it ia. doe to our unnatural, but oiviliaed methods of living, and to the fast tbat; eo many neglect those small ills whleh soon lead op to larger ones. Nothing SO drags a woman down as those eon-1 stantly recurring periods when she suffers more and more from a chronie; condition that can be easily cured. No j woman should take an alcoholic com-! pound for that will disturb digestion, ■ and the food is quickly comparted and becomes hard and tough In contact with alcohol, rendering the food la-1 digestible. She must go to Nature for' a cure. The native Indiana of early. times were far from wrong when thev nailed a marvelously effective meu-' cinrtl plant "Squaw root"—what tbe physicians of our day called Canlophyl- tarn or Blue Cohosh. This and Black Cohosh, Oolden Seal, Lady's Slipper, and Unicorn root, are Important ingredients ot a wonderfully successful remedy in modem times, namely, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Having made a specialty of tbe diseases ot women in the early sixties Dr. Pierce soon fonnd that a glycerio extract of these roots with Hydrastis or Golden Seal aad Lady's Slipper root, oombined In just the right proportions, made the very bast tonio and curo for the distressing complaints ot women. Where women suffered from backache, weakness, nervousness and lack of'sleep, it was usually dne to functional trouble, therefore this prescription directed at the cause cured 98 per cent, of snch eases. That is wby Dr. Pteiee soon put it np in a form easily to be procured all over the United States. Aching from head to toot—that la the condition that afflicts some women at stated periods—backache, disslness, and pains almost unbearable. An honest ond a sate remedy which no woman can afford to lose tha opportunity of trying tor the cure of these distressing complaints which weaken a woman's: vitality ia Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce not only assures vou that his "Favorite Prescription" ia honestly made, bnt he lets you know just what it contains. The best of medical authorities recommend and extol the virtues of the above Ingredlonts In "Favorite Prescription.* Thus F. EHIngwood, M. D., Professor of Materia Medloa, Bennott Medical College, Chicago, says of Oolden Seal: "It is an Important remedy ln disorders ot tho womb. In all catarrhal conditions:-* Ol Lady's Slipper root he says: "Exorcises Special Influcnco upon nervous conditions depending npon disorders of tha female organs; relieves pain, etc." Prof. John King In the Amriucak Dzbrksa- toby, says of Black Cohosh root: "This. Is a very active, powerful and useful remedy." • • • • Plays a very Important oart In diseases of women; In tho painfuicondl tlons Incident to womanhood.

It is interesting to note in Smollett's "Travels Through France and Itaiy" that when the novelist was making an excursion ia Maroh, 1765, Irom Nice across the Maritime Alp* to Turin he descended', the Piedmon >,ese slope of-tlio Col di Tenda to ward Suneo on a toboggan. "Having reached the top of the mountain," he tells us in letter thirty- eight, "we prepared for descending 0-5 the other side by the leze, whicli ii an oci onai sledge made ol two pieces ot -\vood, carried up by the coulants (ieeal'- guides) for the purpose. I did not much relish this kind of carriage, especially as the moun tain was very steep and covered with snch a thick fog that we could hardly St.? two or three yards before us. Nevertheless our guides were so confidant and my companion, who had passed the same way on othor occasions, so secure that I ventured to place myself on this machine, one of the coulants standing behind me and the other sitting before me as the conductor, with his feet paddling in the snow, in order to moderate the velocity of it* descent. Thus accommodated, we descended the mountain with such rapidity that in an hour we reached Limon. Here we waited two; full hcurs for the mules which traveled with the servants by the common road." , , This is simply tobogganing used aa a practical means of transit for travelers in *_e Alps.—Chambers' Journal.

It id well known that the King has not the same regard for his Highland home as had Queen Victoria, and this has naturally lod to expectations that he will sell the estate. At present the house is shut, with only a small number of servants. Some time ago the King was credited with the intention of turning the place into a sanitorium, but it is understood that the idea has been abandoned lately.

New Brunswick lumbermen unite in the opinion that there will be not more than sixty or seventy-five per oent. of the lumber cut on the Ht John River this coming winter that there was last season, and there have been few, if any,- men sent to the woods yet to prepare for the opening of operations. Wages will not be as large this year as they were last year It is expected that $30 will be paid. The stringency in the money market is one of the reasons for tha present doubtful outlook of. the lumbering business. Lumbermen find that they have to pay larger interest on loans. Then a presidantial year in the United States as a rule is a poor year for lumbering, and lumbermen on this side will watch with interest the result of the elections. Then, again, the cut this year has beer, a heavy one, nnd the market is felt to be glutted, and will ,pi more so nt tne and of the present sawing season. IG0RR0TES' SIMPLE LIFE.

Primeval Simplicity of FilipinOi at National Exhibition. Side by side with the most highly developed examples of modem'civilization at the National Exhibition, both in its human and mechanical phases, there was shown at the Igor, rote Village one of the most interesting and unique studies..by way of contrast that could well be imagined. The transition from the bewildering array of .scientific triumph,., to ths primeval simplicity of these children of nature was renlly startling and nothing could illustrate in a more effective manner what as enormous change has been effected in the, modes of living during the past few - centuries. Whether the change has been beneficial is greatly doubted by many of the thousands who witnessed the peaceful life and the air of contentment that surrounds these natives of' Luzon as the freedom from care and evident disregard of all the nerve-racking obli-JS* tions ot modern social life appeal strongly to' ihose who are oampelled to participate in the latter-day strenuous contest, for existence. The Igorrote village was located at the entrance to the Midway, in the most prominent location on the grounds, a favor extended by the management on account of the wonderfully extensive interest taken in these peculiar people. Within the walls were to be found a large group of the natives—men, women and children —who. live in the grass-thatched houses to be found in the Philippines. On;-the right of the entrance was to. be seen a young woman who haB just entered on the experiment of marriage. She has been taken on trial, according to the custom of the Igor- rotes, and should the test result in motherhood, she will be married with a ceremony lasting' several days. Once permanently married there will ba no divorce, as there is no tradition of any separation where a child has survived. • . Another interesting personality M that bf the first Bontoc Igorrote baby to be brought to this country. His name is Wai-yl, and he is now a little more than two years old. He has been in the country only a few mopths, but is rapidly acquiring a knowledge of English, and was quite a pet with visitors. At times he parades in modern dress, but evidently prefers the scanty raiment of his ancestors, and even takes delight in escaping from such restrictions and dis-. porting in only his beautiful bronze- brown complexion. Scattered throughout the village, working at forges and other forms of employment, were various members ofcihe group engaged in their usual daily tasks. In the centre of the village the entire population participated in war dances and other tribal ceremonies, such as spear-throwing contests. NEWFOUNDLAND RIGHTS. Premier Bond Opposes Clause of the Agreement. State Department advices received at Washington from London, where Ambassador Reid is conducting directly with the British Foreign Office negotiations looking to the adjustment of the Newfoundland fisheries question, indicate that the main obstacle to a complete agreement lies in the opposition of Sir Robert Bond, the Newfoundland Premier, to the renewal oi that paragraph of the modus Vivendi of last season which legalizes the enlistment of Newfoundland fishermen as members of the crews of American fishing smacks. It" is assumed that the Premier's objection is based not so much upon the actual employment of these shore fishermen at lucrative wages on American fishing vessels, a matter of pecuniary loss to the colony, but rather from an unwillingness to admit, even in a modus vivendi, that a colonial law, such as prohibits their employment in this manner, may hot invalidate the treaty provision to the contrary. A number of alternative propositions have been advanced from the Newfoundland side, but meanwhile, failing an Agreement on a modus vivendi in Newfoundland, it is the understanding that a truce will prevail, by the terms of which American fishermen will continue to ply their vocation on the coast of Newfoundland, according to the terms of the agreement of last year. KIDNEYTROUBLE Suffered Two Years—Relieved In Tkre* Months. MR. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky., writes: "J have suffered with kidney and other trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest recommen- dat:on to the curative qualities of Peruna. Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble , Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ont., Can., writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once te take Peruna and Manalin. - "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now,I.feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Feruna and Manalin cured me and made u different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked Op the little book and read of your Peruna." It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the "blond all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they heed a little assistance. Peruna is.exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many .people from disaster by'rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to' bear their own burdens. . . .....

But If they were thrown lipOn thi''reefs nothing could save them.'" ..." Thoroughly tired out, the, two went to sleep, nor did they awake until dawn. Ned was flrst to awake. He rubbed his eyes for a moment. Then he. sud- dently pounced upon Joe and shook him roughly. "Look what's coming!" Ned exclaimed excitedly. Joe looked, and was Instantly wide awake, for paddling toward them was a large canoe fjlled with savages! "Aren't theybeautles. and darl't they look peaceable?" he murmured when that of Pindargogo. As for the captain arid his crew, nothing more was ever heard of them. After a time, King Campeche grew afraid that the two white boys, who . could do so many wonderful things, might ;.try [|0 wrest his kingship anmy«'- from him, so he determined to"get rid of them. ' He asked them to come with hlni and showed them a great cliff, at the bottom of which he said he had great, treasure of precious stones. He said-be in-' tended to give this treasure to ihem, but that, in return, he wished them to show his pepple how great gods they Tvere by leaping down from the top of the cliff. - •' "X knew the old hyena.Was up to something," whispered Joe to Ned, "what'shall we tell hi_o,?v -' "We- hay_j.%to accent, °' course, as we'd be TUlled ' auy'way. But I've an Idea. Why c*»'t ye. puikv parachutes of skins, drqprtnithe bottom of the cliff and escape frorirhete?" said Ned. Joe then told the iking in the few words of the language he had been able to learn that they would, gladly accept his, kind gift, but that they should like to make the descent ln the . night, us their magic worked best at that time. Jo this the king absented. At the time appointed, the whole tribe was at the .cliff. Soon .the boys appeared, carrying queer-shaped skins, fastened to . what. looked like umbrellas. These, they said, were .to be used for carrying the precious stones. After again thanking the, king and whispering good-bye to each other, in case the plan should fall, they made the perilous leap. Fortunately the parachutes served their purpose, and, instead of being dashed to pieces they reached the ground In safety. Then, under cover of the night, they made for the beach. But it took a long time to find their boat and to get some of tlie.savages' paddles, so that it was ■just daybreak when they pushed off from shore. Befojre .going thfey had rigged up their skins as sails. Only a' few rods ftorn' Shore were they when the .boat ,waa discovered by the savages, who, upon-'not finding them at the base-of-the cliff, had been searching for them.

The ends are cut under twenty Inches. At one end a. skag and rudder can be attached, as shown In Fig. 1. For each side, two boards are used, one of six and the other of-twelve-Inch width.

The South Vancouver License Board failed to consider the applloatiou of Nelson Honse for hotel license for Sixteenth and Westminster avenues, on Wednesday of this week. The temperance people have made some very sensational charges against Reeve Rao and Councillor Ponnd. The first is charged with being intoxicated and the latter with refusing to act as chairman. Messrs. MeOlecry and McBride are the other members of the Board. The fact tbat political animosity has existed for years between certain members of tho Board, may prevent the Board from doing bnsinoss. A saloon is not wanted at Sixteenth avenne, and if tho License Board waa not composed of such antagonistic elements, tho application wonld be quickly disposed of. Local items.
