PROHIBITION AND HYPOCRICY.
How the Moral Citizens Of Main,
Manage to Evade tho Liquor Law.

How the Moral Citizens of Maine
Manage to Evad tho Liquor Law.
PORTLAND, Me-, May 6.-The most
prominent thing in regard to the prohi-
bition laws is the humor attached to
them. And the more they are enforced
the more this is apparent. just now the
friends Of the an,i-liqor laws have taken
n sudden start and are endeavoring with
might and main to suppress illegal liq-
uor-scl!ing.
The World correspondent, in compa-
ny with u Boston lawyer, made n tour Of
this town last evening to see how much
Of the ardent could be obtained and the
ann Of procuring it We found no
difficulty in getting rum, but the way IN
which it was got was both peculiar and
ridiculous. First we applied at 4 lead
ing hotel, which, until recently, had its
firSt-class bar. In II whisper the smiling
clerk was told what was wanted.
Here take these keys said he, 'and
go to room 4, first floor front"
We found room 4 to contain several
chairs and n table, but nc sign of a bar.
After waiting n few seconds in came the
clerk carrying a good-sized carpet bag
which h" deposited on the table.
Il carry the bar with me-" he OK
planned AZ he opened the bag and took
there(rom several bottles labeled with
Their respective liquors, which were fol-
lowed by glasses, h~itters, dc. After
sampl,ng the alchoholic beverages the
clerk explained that if IL search was
made by the officers il was a very easy
matter for him to take his grip, or bar.
room, and march around town with it
until the Scarchcrs Ind left in disgust.
We next took 4 walk down by the
Railroad d"potS, where saloons were
formerly as thick rs those on tn. Bow
cry. And indeed the most of them are
open now but liquors, especially ale
ana beer. are not 81 easily obtained in
them. In one place we were served in
n little iron-clad room, with Il huge oak
bar thrown acroS, the door to prevent
surprise. In another we were given ale
which flowed from what to all appear
ances was a harmless gas pipe. In still
another place our liquor was brought
on sealed up in egg shells, the meat
having been blown ont. In all Of these
places IL tub Of acid is kept handy, and
at the appearance Of an officer the liquor
dumpted into it. This is, all kept on
hand. The main supply is always hid
den somewhere about the building. AS
we were returning up town no less than
live pcrSonS-younG mrn-canc up to
US at different times and asked if we
were 'lookin' fer sometime to take"
These were bottlr-carriers, or walking
bar rooms, and Il great deal Of LIQUOR is
disposed Of by them, many having their
regular customers. Among the for
rigners liqnor Is sold mostly by women
III their kitchens, and numerous is the
motherly loo' ins dame who carries her
supply Of liquor rcrreshment in her
S%umptu0us hustle.

\ case against William Van Tasscl for
selling liquor without Il license, which
has been on the docket four terms, was
called for trial. Mr. a. b. Knowlton. the
consrl for Van TasscI, asked for a con-
tinunncc OF the case, pleading personal
sickness. The solicitor said that he
would consent to II ~postponement until
the next day to obligc counsel, but he
could consent to have the case r,
over the term. The town of Orange
burg had been a dry town at the time
the offence OF the accused hno been
committed. The town had since then
voted TO be IA wet town, and he wanted
to have this case disposed of without
further delay, in order that the offence
might not seem to be coadoned.

of Oranseburg had stood by its integrity

he will take care of himself
and it. In spite of the continued frmness
in this stock, White sold 10000 shares of it
and many other heavy operators sold smaller
amounts, while Slayback later went in and
tried to bid it up. An important rumor was
that New York Central and the Pennsylvania
company had made an alliance against the
West Shore and would force the latter into a
settlement of the present contest. This ac-
counts for the conspicuous weakness of
West Shore bonds yesterday and to-day. The
West Shore officials, however, said they had
no fears. The statement of Atkinson earn
ings for December shows net decrease of
1853, 934 and for eleven months $769, $50.
Northwestern earnings now are said
to be larger than last year. The November
statement of Northern Pacific shows
decrease Of 1852 Louisville d Nashville
I earnings for five months, ending December
l, show decrease of 1914, 4S3. 1t is not
believed now that the Wisconsin Central will
be able to arrange for a Chicago connection,
but will be compelled to build line of its
own. The present year will probably witness
as much competition for business between
Chicago and the northwest as now exists be-
tween the trunk lines east and west. The
market became very stupid during the clos
ing hour, and the boom seemed to have spent
its force. The outside public appear no
nearer to Wall street now than they were in
1884, and until they can be induced to take
hold on the long side there does not appear
to be much hope for better prices for shares.
The closing was exceedingly tame.

The Weather i'm Wyoming.

CHEYESSz. Wyo., Jan. 3.-News from all
over the territory shows that tn eweather on the
ranges is now pleasant, the only diff Guilty being
experienced Is in the northern and northwest
part OF Wyoming Information from Beefourche,
Fort Casper and Whereabouts, is to the effect that
the ranges are covered with about foot Of snow
which is coated over with hard crust So far
range cattle have rarely succumbed, though the
effect upon Texas cattle turned loose last fall Is
more severe, and quite a number have died.
Everything, of course. depends on The length OF

Unless another lizard follows soon no grave
danger except pos IDLY to pilgrim cattle may be
spprehended even In that region. About Nc
Kinney the weather Is very mild, but the
ground is covered with eleven inches OF snow
LeGdsr special from there to night says that
up to the present range cattle have Suffered com
paratively lit L. loss, though at this moment
they experience great difficulty In obtaining
food The continued mild weather gives very
hopeful outlook. Many sensational special tele
grams are sent from this region by correspond
ems with little reliable information and less
practical knowledge OF range matters. Wyom-
ing has been thoroughly covered this season by
the Associated press, and information already
sent may be relied upOn.

Total. .S22, 913, 900 IL SEQ, $685. 1923 4s
While the total earnings are about the same
as last year, it is believed the net earnings
this year will be larger than last, as expend-
lures of all kinds have been Systematically
curtailed in every department OF the system
No new lines have been built this year, and
the Improvements have been on an extremely
moderate scale. The total length of the st.
Paul system is about 5000 miles. The ex-
penses last year were SIS, IT'S, 037.95 and the
net earnings were s9,sS1, 1858. A new
loan of IS, 100000 was made this year,
and this sum is to be devoted to securing
better terminal facilities at Chicago 81 Mil

ment of the road to be as follows: Loco

The next annual meeting of directors will
be held in this city early in June. 1t will be
an important meeting in more respects than
one. At the last annual meeting President
Alex. Mitchell accepted reelection only
upon the promise that a successor should
be chosen at the next meeting. Owing
to the continued illness of General
Manager s. S. Merrill, his resignation will
undoubtedly be accepted and a successor
chosen. He has not been in his Office for
over year, and, while he is slowly improv-
ing, his physicians say he will never be able
to resume his duties. Roswell Miller, the as
sistant general manager, will no doubt be
chosen to succeed Mr.. Merrill. Mr.. Miller is
a very capable and worthy man, and one of
the best railroad managers in the northwest.
The retirement of President Mitchell and his
faithful old manager will mean very many
changes In the personnel of the manage
ment.
