500 BAR ROOMS,
More Retail and Fewer Wholesale
Liquor Dealers.

Moro Retail and Fewer wholesale
Liquor Dealers.
The Liquor License Board yesterday
received the S00th application for bar
room license. This shows that the
number Of bar.rooms has increased 100
since last year, but there has been a
corresponding reduction in the number
of wholesale liquor dealers, or "stove.
pipe" houses. This is the result of
the adoption by the Commissioners of
a suggestion from Major Dye,
Major Dye urged upon the Commits
sioners, in his last annual report, the
necessity of suppressing the 'stove-
pipe" houses, which were selling beer
by the pint glass under wholesale Ii.
censes which cost only 1926, while the
bar.rooms had to pay 800. lie said
these places did practically the same
business rs the bar-rooms and by vir-
tue of the nature of their licenses, the
police did not have rs much control
over them, and also that they required
more police surveillance than barrooms.
The Commissioners several months
ago adopted the suggestion and made
1t conditional with those who took out
these wholesale licenses that they could
not sell liquor to be drunk on the
premises. This had the effect of
breaking up q number of them and
compelling the others to take out bar
room licenses. The revenues will be
increased nearly 1000 by the scheme

French savants have recently made
wonderful discoveries in mcsmer-
ism, and are pcrfecting systems
of using these newly developed facts.
Even now, while so many great secrets
are carefully guarded, they openly use
mesmerism instead of chloroform In all
the hospitals of Paris. Our American
doctors are slow coaches.
The French commission of experts,
organized by the government to perfect
the art of ballooning, reports officially
that they now use balloon engines Of
eight instead of siX-horse power. These
balloons are made to ascend and de-
scend at pleasure and without danger
to aeronauts. They are also made to
60 directly to and from any point of
departure.
There are no labor strikes or riots In
France, and the Republic is growing
stronger. The only perceptiblc danger
is discovered in the restless contention
between church and State with refer.
ence to the control of the schools.

A Pleasant Reunion.

The National Rifles Armory last night
was the scene of a most enjoyable affair, it
being the annual reunion of Miss Wilson'S
dancing classes. A delightful audience of
nearly 300 people witnessed the graceful
fancy figures executed by some score or
more Of young misses and masters. Five
year-old Ambrose Moore rendered Sailors
Hornpipe in most creditable style and
brought down the house. The fancy figure
of La Cachuca was executed by Misses
Retta Dunlap, Fannie Moore, Blanche Stout
enburgh and Lizzie Cleary. Masters Frank
and Joe Butts and Frank Perry danced a
honpipe. Misses Blanche Collamer and
Una Redman Highland Fling, and Miss
Salle johnson delighted the audience with
La IiDgarella. La Fayorite was executed
by Miss May Wilson and Miss Addie Gen
sler. The stately Minuet was rendered with
royal grace by Misses Retta Dunlap, Una
Redman, Blanche Collamer and Sallie John
son and Masters Sam Paschal, Allie Gensler,
Joe Butts and Frank Butts. The perfect
execution OF the figures reflect credit upon
the careful teachings of Miss Wilson and
the grace OF the pupils.

PENDANTS, the counsel said they did not de-
sire to offer any testimony, but were per-
fectly willing to go before the jury on the
evidence Of the Government and with in
structions from the Court rs to the law in
