Protect * In Two CUNCM SuKtnlneil liy tlio Fire ami Police CoiiiinlMNlon. The FIre and Police commission met yes terday afternoon and granted a couple of dozen additional liquor licenses. The first cnso heard was the protest against the li cense applied for by John Snydcr , at 2200 Military avenue. A delegation of Clifton Hill residents , heads by J. M. Glllan , ap peared to urge the objections of the property owners. They declared that the location of a saloon at that point was objectionable to the residents of that locality , and especially to the members'of the Presbyterian church , which was close to the proposed saloon. After some consideration : the protest was sus tained and the board refused to grant the license. Dr. W. H. Hanchctt , Ilev. Hobert T. lo- hcrty and others appeared to protest against the Issuance of a license to Paul Somcrs to run a saloon at 913 Hickory street. Their objections wcro based on the fact that the aaloon was proposed to bo located In thu midst of a purely residence district , and es pecially because It was only a block from Ilrownell hall ami 'In such a position that It must bo pnesed and rcpasscd by the young woman pupils during their hours of exer cise. This license was also refused. The protest against the license of ClinrkM Loftmann at 1324 Howard street was not considered because It referred to a row be tween two parties In regard to the possession at the building and did not refer to any matter that could properly come before the board. The license was granted. The pro- lest against the application of Frank Sautter tor a license at 1934 South Tenth street was set for hearing next Tuesday night. The following additional licenses were granted : Paxton hotel , Fourteenth and l'"arnam streets ; Mlllard hotel , 1220 Douglas itrcct ; John Kilkenny , 21G-21S South Seven- ccnth street ; John Duck , 1123 Douglas street ; [ laltlms Jetter. 1019 Farnam street ; Morris ICurptles & Hro. , 112 South Fourteenth itrect ; II.

Martha Walters .was arraigned In police court yesterday morning on the charge of disturbing the peace In the vicinity of her residence at Thirtieth and Charles streets. She was arrested at the Instance of a neigh bor , a colored woman , Mrs. J. II. Williams. It appears that soma time ago Mrs. Wal ters ordered the children of Mrs. Williams not to cross her premises. This riled lira. Williams , who Friday stopped a son of Mrs. Walters , who was crossing her yard , and ordered him never to do so acaln. The child reported the matter to HB mother and It la charged that thereupon Mrs. Wal ters abused Mrs. Williams roundly in lan guage that was not particularly well chosen , but was edifying to the neighborhood. Queer Syntcni of NiiiuliiKT ( JuoijM. The peculiar system of nomenclature pur sued by certain business houses in respect to designating their goods helps eventually to Identify t lie in In the markets of the world. Ono hoiiBO making a famous line of collars and cuffs equalizes Its loyalty to America and recognition of the real American by stamping Its products with Indian names encountered In tradition , trade or history. The quaint musical names found In Cooper's and In other works * dealing with the red man are em ployed. As the firm In question produces now styles frequently , It Is always calling upon Its supply of Indian names , but the list Is never depleted , cs one of 'tho firm Is constantly on the lookout far.additions. It Is interesting In view of thla fact to note that the concern , which Is Earl & Wilson , has not adhered to thu Indian system In naming tin new line of cuffs coming under the P. Q , brand. These arc , as the Initials suggest , -'popular quality" goods ; they are of recent Introduction , the style * are every one of them decidedly E. & W , In their character , and possess all the other points of merit , to put them In the E. & W. class , lint their namco nro iirborary , being those of different kinds of wooil Ironwood , etc. , etc. The nyfl- tom of using Indian jiames Is Etlll followed by Earl & Wilson on all their goods , except the P. Q , ruffs. It will be Interesting to note and learn how many kinds of woods Earl & Wilson will find to thus designate their popular quality cuffs. Unity Club Meetliiir.

The announcement made by Congressman Mercer to the effect that the new postolllco would bo built whether this city wag an nexed to Omaha or not has strengthened the faith of the anncxatlonlsts and made a num ber of new converts to the project. Quito a number of business and professional men here were slow about coming out In favor of annexation for fear that In the event an nexation carried the government would not erect a public building. Very few residents have as yet signed the petition requesting the council to allow the question to be voted on at the spring election , but It Is thought that a largo number will sign at a mass meeting which is to bo called before long.
