A case OF primitive bookkeeping was de-
veIoped in the course Of trial in Louis
Vile JUSTICES Court the other day. An old
German saloon keeper sued customer for
the amount of a bar bill which the latter
had refused to pay. The bill in amount was
there, but the court wanted the Items. The
saloon man was asked If he had kept an
account. He had, and was asked to pro-
duce 1t. He went out and presently return
ed, bringing a large pine door with the

were WHISTLES, short marks were beers, he

On recent Sunday night an extraordi-
nary affair occurred in the township of Lob
stock, England. number Of Irish and 1
English laborers were drinking at the Lob
stock inn. After closing time there was
some squabbling among them, and threats
against the Irishmen were violently uttered.
On going toward their quarters the Irish
were followed by q gang of excited men,
and were pelted with stones. The disturb
ance was renewed at place called Dobhill
farm, and the English mob threatened to
fire barn ia which four or five Irish hay
makers were said to have taken refuge. The
men on the farm came out and opposed the
mob, bringing a gun with them. After
snort fight, during which the gun was fired
by way of frightening the noble Britons,
these brave fellows decsmped
Attention is called in the Paris newspapers
to one of the historical streets in the capt. |
tai, Rue Saint Sauyeur. This old street has |
borne several names. In the sixteenth cen
fury 1t was known as Bout du Monde, be-
cause 1t happened to be at one OF the eX- |
IRENE points Of the city. In 1909 1t was |
known as Rue du Cadran, and 1t was after |
ward rechristened Saint Sauveur. The street, |
by the way, is notorious for murder which |
was committed in it, The murderer be- |
longed to Cartouche's gang of cutthroats. |
1t was said at the time that the Regent was |
at the bottom of the crime, and that the |
poet Lagrange-Chancel was the object of /
his vengeance. The poet, however, did not |
turn out to be the victim and when the |
criminal was tried and judged it was found |
that the Regent was in no way connected /
with the murder. Nevertheless-and this |
was an odd coincidence-the victim was /
Jacques Vergier, poet and an intimate |
friend of La Fontaine. The unfortunate |
man was the author of a small volume of |
versiied tales.
John A. Brooks, President of the Missouri |
Prohibition Alliance, is a Democrat, and is
very indignant at the "efforts" Of Senator |
Vest and others to take from the Democratic |
party the glory of having been the pioneers |
in prohibltorY legislation. Among bis |
claims are that Maine was a Democratic |
State when her prohibitorv law was enacted |
in 1916 and amended in 1851; that Vermont |
had Democratic Governor when her law |
was passed; and the Supreme Court of the |
United States was Democratic, with fancy |
at it's head, when this law was first declared |
constitutional; that the Democratic Su- |
preme Court Of Missouri has so decided, |
and that the amendment resolution hung |
fire in the Kansas Legislature until the wife |
of Democratic member importuned her |
husband upon the floor to cast his vote for |
the resolution, Kansas thus owing her |
triumph to that Democratic vote. And those |
most actively engaged in the prohibition |
movement in Missouri, he says, are, with |
scarcely an exception, Democrats.
The growth of manufactures in New |
York city leads to all sorts of complications |
and revolutions in the real estate market. |
The shape Of the island is such that expsn-
sion could only take place in one direction, |
and factories have for a long time been en- |
croaching upon some Of the fairest resi- |
dence districts. OF course, whenever the |
interests of trade demand It, whole districts |
have to yield to the march Of commercial |
progress, but there is and has been for |
long time a most bitter opposition to the |
practice of setting up single noisy, smok- |
ing and odOrous factory in the midst of |
neighbOrhOod of handsome dwellings. The |
Board of Health takes charge of the location |
of bone-boiling and fat-rendering establish |
ments, prohibiting them in certain sections |
Of the city. It has not confined its super |
vision to bad smells and foul air, but has |
also acted in numerous cases of loud and |
iriurious noises. The New York EUening |
Post now comes out with a proposition that |
the law or some power under the law should |
prescribe where factories shall or shall not |
be built, just as now the building inspectors |
prescribe how they shall be built In order |
10 secure the safety of life and property. |
Il seems that rapid transit has not had the |
effect to diminish the tendency Of factories |
and tenements to crowd upon each other, |
and the enormous increase IN manufactures |
is causing much complaint as to the manner |
