lift were not expected that discrimina'
ting judgment would be exercised in grant
ing licenses, Council would not be asked
to take any action at all. Applicants
would be required to pay the license fee,
and that would be all Of it, Bat Council
is required, before it grants license to sell

applicant for sobriety and honesty, and
The convenience Of the place proposed"
and "the Council shall dissatisfied thatsuCh
license is proper and shall be further
satisfied and enter on its record, journal
or minutes that the applicant is not OF in

This IL the law. The fact is that there
Is no attention whatever paid to the
character Of the applicant. Men Of the
worst character, who keep the worst kind
OF resorts for the deprsyed Of both sexes,
are granted license az q matter OF course,
no regard being had TO their past orthsir
future conduct. The worst that happens
to them ia an occasional fine, which
operates as no protection at all to the
community and comes upon them so
rarely that thsy do not regard 1t as a re-
lninder to do better.

to be mere form. B)ndsmen OF liquor
sellers are never proceeded against This
is well understood and nobody feels that

slloonkeeper however dlsreputsble and
whatever may have been his method Of
conducting his bnRiness.
The fault lies mainly with the Council,
which has tho power 10 drive out Of the
business men whom every Councilman
knows ought not to have license. There
are places lin Wheeling publicly known

Raising Pears in the South.

Gen. George Sheridan has often been
mistaken for the other general of the
same name. He was at the white house
once during the Hayes administration
when delegation was announced. 1t
was a horticultural convention which
had called to pay its respects. Presi-
dent HAYES asked Gen. Sheridan to ac-
company him to the reception room,
most of them thinking it was P. H.
Sheridan to whom they were talking.
Gen. Sheridan finally became reticent,
and the president sought to engage
him in further talk. The conversation
between them ran about like this:
Hayes-General, have you much fruit
inLouisiana?
Sheridan-O yes. We have oranges
and apricots and grapes in profusion.
Hayes-Do you have any of the hardy
northern fruits-apples and pears?
Sheridan-There are few apples
raised along the northern boundary OF
the state.
Hayes-Do you ever raise pears?
Sheridan-Alwavs, if we have three
of kind.
There was moments icy stiffness,
and then big, fat fruit-grower, with a
roguish eye, unable to hold in, began to
snicker, and in less than twinkle of
an eve they were all gufawing. The
president himself laughed with the rest.

1.-THE Mighty Dollar"

sThe Mighty Dollar is probably the
most successful play, financially speak
inc. in which the Florence have ap-
peared. 1t came to be written in the
following manner: Mrs Florence, while
abroad, was constantly amused at the
French phrases which good natured and
oftentimes wealthy but uneducated
American women made use of with
such an amount Of misapplication and
mispronunciation as to create the high
est amusement at their expense. She
thought that it would be first rate idea
to transfer one Of these persons from the
stage of life to the mimic stage. She
spoke to her husband about it and he
agreed with her views. He also had
had character in his mind for long
time-that of good humored but not
oyerscrupulous lawmaker of the great
west. They went to Ben Woof, a clever
journalist, and had him write play to
order with these two characters as the
prominent features. Woolf did as di-
rected, and the Mighty Dollar was
the result. At first it was named the
Almighty Dollar but the American
public which can tanely submit to In
gersolls b!asphemies, could not submit
to the use of the word Almighty"
though Washington Irving, one of the
chastest Of American writers, had given
this very name to the dollar. Thus it
was the play was changed from the al
might" to the Mighty Dollar" In

Lieut.. Greely's theories respecting the
North Pole naturally meet with much
opposition in England. It was his for
tune during his Imprisonment in the
Arctic to upset the conclusions reached
bv Sir George Mares and his compan-
ions respecting the Pal;eocrystic Sea.
Having controverted what the English
explorers assumed to be facts. he cannot
expect to have his own theories pass un-
challenged. Lieut. Greely believes that
there is an ocean l60O miles in diane
ter, round about the Pole, that never
freezes; and conjectures that the Pole Ii.
self is the centre Of an ice-capped land
covered with ice from 1000 to 1000 feet
thick. These conclusions are rejected
by prominent Arctic authorities in Eng
land.
