The City Council has adopted an ordi- .
nance intended 70 secure good order in the
SALOONS and To close them ON Sundays.
There WIS M difference Of opinion in the
Council on any point in the ordinance. eN-
cept as 10 the price of licenses, All were
united in the opinion that the saloons
should be closed on Sundays and be so
regulated at all times aS to preserve order
and propricty therein
I Alderman Phillips thought the price for
license should he $500 He thought the
stringent State law would close q number
of saloons, and that the revenue in this
city might be kept up by increasing the
rate Of license aud somewhat curtail the
evils of incompetence by reducing the
number Of saloons and securing greater re
spectihiIty in the management Of the
traffic.
Aldermen Bell Steusel and Koch ar
cued in favor of the old rate-$lOo a
year claiming that the question Of in
creasing the license was not an issue in
the late election and they had 10 reason u
believe that the people were in favor Of it ,
that the saloon business was a lawful and
legitimate business and it would be wrong

e Strictions, was all that wa, desirable U

e tax payers and entitled To equal privilege,
with the rest of Us, that the bushes.

Among the victims of the fever at
Shreveport was Alfred Saville, one of
the best known and the most accom-
plished telegraph operators in the
country, and attached to the command
of General John H. Morgan during the
late war, the story Of whose practical
and profitable jokes on the Federals
enlivened the gloomy annals of those
times. His feats on the enemy's wires,
throwing large forces Of Federal caval-
ry off the scent, directing them to the
left and right, opening their lines for
the dashing Morgan to sweep through
in quest of men and horses, are among
the most romantic incidents of the war.
Few have forgotten how, early in the
game, he took possession of the wires
between Nashville and a body of fed,
erals operating in Southern Kentucky,
giving peremptory orders not to send
any more troops, but plenty of pro-
visions and ammunition, and how an
old friend, then in charge at Nashville
detecting the peculiar touch of lingering
Of the bogus operator, flashed back to
him this good humored answer @Get
out, Saville, or I'll send the cavalry az
ter you" Saville volunteered his SER
vices at Shreveport after every resident
operator had been stricken down, and
died at his post. (Ga.) Messen
