THE VIRGINIA LIQUOR LAW.

The Legislature of Virginia passed a
law requiring liquor sellers to pay a
tax of one cent on every drink sold.
To guard against violation of the law,
registering machines, like the bell
punch used on street railroads, are re-
CURED to be set up in every bar room,
and failure to register every drink
sold, subjects the liquor seller to fine.
Last week the new law went iuto effect.
and the machines which were provided
by the State, and furnished saloon
keepers at ten dollars each, were placed
in every bar room in Richmond. The
liquor dealers, with few exceptions,
accepted the situation quietly, and in.
creased the price of drinks and abol-
ished the credit system The punch is
described as being smaller than cigar
box, and constructed of iron, steel and
brass. The registering dials operate
on the principle of those in gas
metre, and it is possible with each ma
chine to ring" for one million drinks.
The bell that gives the alarm is sim
pie spring that strikes against small
gong. The intricate feature is the seal
This consists of miniature tongue of
brass that perforates bit of paper
carefully fitted into the lock. After
this tongue is in place the paper bears
only single perforation. Any at
tempt to violate or tamper with the
seal will result in defacing and tearing
the paper, and this will be sufficient to
subject the saloon keeper to prosecu-
ton under the law.
