High License in Illinois.
A dispatch from Chicago, ILL.,, dated tn
Sth. says
The victory won in the Legislature a
| Springfield. to-day in favor of high licens
creates much enthusiasm among the friend
of the measure in this city. 1t is REGARDED
as the most important legislation which
has been accomplished in Illinois in q
years. The House bill will pass the Senate
early next week and will promptly receive
| the signature of Gov. Hamilton. 1t liXe:
| the whisky license at $500 and the beer Ii
cense at $3.50. The bill further provides
that County Boards may grant licenses tt
keep as many dram shops in their county
as they may think the public good requires
upon the application by petition of a ma
jority of the legal voters of the town, il
the county is under township organization
if not, of a majority of the voters of the
election precinct OF district where the
dram-shop is proposed to be located. Per
sons having cumberland fifty -dollal
license to sell malt liquors only who shall
directly or indirectly, sell OF give any in
toxicating liquors other than malt liquors
in any quantity, to be drank upon the
premises OF in or upon any adjacent room,
building, yard, OF, place Of public resort,
shall for each offense be fined not less than
800 nor more than 500, OF confined in the
County Jail not less than 10 nor more than
80 days, OF both, in the discretion of the
court. The penalties may be enforced by
Indictment OF information in any court of
competent jurisdiction, OF the fines only
may be sued for and recovered before any
Justice of the Peace of the proper county,
and in case of conviction the offender shall
stand committed to the County Jail until
the fine and costs are fully paid. A con-
yiction forfeits the license, and the court
rendering judgment upon such conviction
shall in such Judgment declare forfeiture
of the license. Permits may be granted to
pharmacists for the sale of liquors for
medical, mechanical, sacramental, and
0bnnlI0oI only lIn1aI Clloh 10
strictions and regulations as may be pro
vided by ordinance. The bill does not fix
q maximum license in any city. town, or
village in the State, but it is iron-clad in
its provisions that spirit license shall cost
at least $500 and a malt license $3.50.
In order to pass the measure in the House
II votes We're required. The low license
members have fought for three months to
prevent the majority in the House from
declaring themselves on this bill A large
corruption fund was employed, and sew
eral members were Seduced from their de-
clared allegiance to the bill by the most
shameful means. Upon the final division
to-day the bill received 10 votes 20 Repub-
licans and 8 Democrats voted yea, 81 Dem
ocrats and Republicans voted nay. The
actual absentees We're: Republicans, |
Democrats, II. The dodgers were Re
publcans, 2 !; Democrats, 3. At the munic-
ipal election in Chicago last April Carter
Harrison was reelected on the low license
platform. The action at Springfield to-day
virtually discounts Harrisons victory
The bill goes into effect on July next. 1t
is thought it will wipe out at least 900
groggeries and slums in Chicago.
EAT HONEY.-In the last number of the
American Bee Journal the editor closes an
article on 'Bees and Honey in Ancient
Times" with the following regarding hon
ely for food and health:
Thousands and tens of thousands of
children are dying all around us, who, be-
cause their ever-developing nature de-
mands sweetness, crave and eagerly de-
ups of modern times. If these could be
fed on honey, instead, they would develop
and grow UP into healthy men and women.
"Children would rather eat bread and
honey than bread and butter; one pound of
honey will reach as far us two pounds of
butter. and has, besides, the advantage that
it is far more healthy and pleasant-tasted
and always remains good, while butter soon
becomes rancid, and often produces cramp
in the stomach, eructations, sourness, vom-
iting and diarrhea. Pure honey should
always be freely used in every family
eaten upon wheat bread is very beneficial
to health.
ut isacommon expression that honey is
a luxury, having nothing to do with the life
giving principle. This is an error-honey
is food in one of it's most concentrated
forms. True, it does not add so much to
growth of muscles as does beef steak, but it
does impart other properties, no less neces-
sary to health and vigorous physical and
| intellectual action. 1t gives warmth to
the system, arouses nervous energy, and
gives vigor to all the vital functions. To
the laborer, it gives strength-to the bust
ness man, mental force. Its effects are
not like ordinary stimulants, such as spir-
its, ETC., but it produces a healthy action,
the results of which are pleasing and per-
manent-a sweet disposition and bright
intellect.
In the House of Lords on the 18th, the
bill legalizing marriage with a deceased
wife's sister passed its second reading by a
vote of 165 to 15S. The Prince of Wales,
| the Duke of Connaught and the Duke OF
Albany voted for the bill, and the two arch
bishops and nineteen bishops voted against
| it.
A company has been organized i'll New
York to lay two new cables between this
country and Europe. The details of the
project will be made public soon. 1t is
said the enterprise is in strong hands and
