What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct articles with one small illustration. The main content concerns California politics of the era: 1. **"Assessor Siebe's Victory"** celebrates a court decision vindicating Assessor Siebe against charges of irregularity, praising his persistence despite obstacles. 2. **"The Beautiful Glutton"** satirizes a pianist (unnamed) who dined with Princess Souraroff in Warsaw, mocking his excessive eating habits through humorous anecdotes. 3. **"Practical Temperance"** discusses the Keely Institute's cure for alcohol/opium addiction, crediting ex-Senator Fair's endorsement while questioning whether the treatment caused a patient's death. The illustration shows a seated woman, likely the pianist from the second story. The page reflects late 19th-century California politics and social concerns about addiction treatment and public conduct.
