on week day, to sell cigars from the

day is not unlawful. There is no diff
ference legally between the act of selling a
cigar under such circumstances and the
act of furnishing cup of tea or coffee,
a meal ofvictuals, or supplying any other
daily want to customer on Sunday for
pay"
Commenting on the foregoing the Paca-
ie Coast Lao journal adds: If this be true,
then it is not unlawful to sell liquors of
all kinds from a bar kept as part of the
hotel, to any person making application,
whether guests of the hotel or other per-
sons. III the saloon is apart of the hotel

of drinks would then be customers" of the
hotel; this decision seems. by the use of
the words guests, boarders and Gus

1t be said that smoking, to those who have
acquired the habit, is any more neces-
sity than drinking whiskey would be to
the topper?

A DOG I'm A VALIsE.

Among the persons who purchased tick

latter crouched down at her feet Soon
after she had assumed a peaceful attitude
the train hand entered the coach, and,
noticing the dog, started to drive it out.
The old lady objected but the train hand
would not yield, although he saw the dogs
mistress in tears. Fortunately CONNER
cial tourist, who had been q silent witness
to the entire conversation, stepped up and
asked the train hand te let the dog remain
until he could return. The train hand com
piled, and the tourist left the coach in
hurry. In about fifteen minutes he re-
turned, bearing a cheap valise in his hand,
which he opened. After cutting large
hole in the side he placed the dog in the
valise, and, putting his head through the
hole, closed the valIse. With smile he
deposited the valise on the seat by the old
lady, and quietly laughed when the train
hand came back to kick the dog OUT

THE sLAYBAcK TRAGEDY.

ST.. LoUIs Mo-. Nov. 21.-To day was
the day set for hearing in the court of
criminal correction, the case of John
Cockerill. editor of the Post Dispatch, for
killing A. W. Slayback, the tragedy which
caused such sensation. All parties to
the case were in court promptly, but there
was no trial. The judge announced that the
case had been laid over to await the action
of the grand jury. There is a difference
of opinion as to whether this is to
Cockerilrs advantage or otherwise, but the
preponderance of sentiment seems to be
that it is i'm his favor Many people say
this is the last of the case. 1t is reported
that the grand jury have all the papers
connected with the case, and all the evil
dence of the witnesses before the coroner's
jury. Their whole investigation win be
directed towards finding out whether Stay
back had pistol when he entered the
editorial room. W. A Clopton, who
him, swears he did not.
CockerilPs friends produced pistol said
to have been taken from the dead mans
hand. They also. produced a pawnbroker
who says he sold Slayback a pistol some
time ago. What new evidence the grand
Jury has secured, of course, is not known,
ont it is the opinion of many attorneys
hat the case will never reach a formal |
rial. The object of the prosecution, it is /
known, is not revengeful one; but to OBJ |
ain and make plain to all the actual facts, |
md these facts grand jury investigation |
properly conducted, ought to establish.
