CINCINNATI, May lS.-Judge Ernstein
OF the police court to.oay dismissed 700
cases OF arrests made last year for viola
tion of the Owen Sunday closing law, "
but said he would not have done 20 il he
had not received reliable information that
prominent citizens would cause arrests TO-.
morrow in case there were any violations.
The mayor, upon being notified of the
action Of the judge, expressed surprise and
spoke Of it as a reflection on his officers
He declared he wOold not now order the
police to make arrests and added that if
citizens asked to have arrests made they
would have to accompany the police into
the saloons and also 70 to court and
make the charges. The mayor has re.
ceived notice from the attorney Of the
Law and Order League that that body will
expect him to enforce the law. There is
likely to be a conflict in case arrests are
made on the question Of the right of pris-
oners to release on bail given on Sunday.

Yes, indeed; and that is only be-

l even change the dresses of ladies, to

ness of the lady, but of child she was
holding. Her eyes were turned toward

to have the portraits made in?"
1.-The pastels are growing in favor.
and [ am making more of them than
any other how. The oil portraits are
not made any more at all and the pastel
gives the most lfe-like pictures, for the
color can be blended SO finely. The
water-color pictures are not so popular
as they once were. think the crayon
work is probably the best of any, as
there is no possibility of any fading as
will endure a lifetime. In the crayon
work the best expression can be gained"
