CHICAGO, Feb. 1I.-Judge Richard
Tuthill, in the circuit court of Chicago,
to-day made a decision of great i'm
portance to industrial schools for de-
pendent boys and girls throughout the
country, and which attracted wide
spread attention. The incorporates
OF the Chicago industrial school are all
Roman Catholics and temporarily, un-
til they can secure building of their
own, contracted with the sisters
of the good shepherd to house and
teach the girls committed. There are
other industrial schools in the state,
the incorporators of which are protest
ants. By law the county has to pay
for the support of these girls. The
county resisted payment on the ground
that it would be the payment of public
money for sectarian purposes. Judge
Suthill, in an able opinion, decided
that the purpose wassnot sectafian and
ordered the county 0to pay the full
amount, SO ,663s m

Saloon keepers who knowingly violate
the liquor law by selling intoxicating
drinks to minors should be punished to
the full extent of the law. Minors who in
sist that they are Of age and after rcceiv

called upon TO indict him should likewise
suffer for their deception. Several of the
indictments brought by the grand jury

minors had deceived the saloon keepers,
some of them going so far as to sign cards

ing themselves to be 81 years old An old
saloon keeper in the city is so particular
in this respect that he has been known to
