same as to Intoxicating liqu ors, if the
sale is made in place of public re-
sort. Section $500 of the Revised
Laws says "no person shall sell or
furnish cider or fermented liquor at
or in victualing house, tavern, gro
Gerry, shop, cellar, or other place of
public resort" and section 1902 fixes
the penalty if a person shall E'furn-
ish or give away Intoxicating liquor
or cider in violation of law" The
court think there can be no question
as to the intent and meaning of these
clauses. The respondent excepted
also to the use of the word "cider' in
the second count instead of the words
Intoxicating liquor" which are used
in the form prescribed by the statute,
but the court held that the prosecut-
ing officer was justified in the use of
terms to meet the particular case and
which are employed in the statute.
Exception was also taken to the
charge as to what constitutes "a place
of public resort the sales of cider
having been in respondents dwelling
house. Judge Powers, who tried the
case at the last term of county court,
charged the jury that if respond
ent made a business of selling cider
at her house by the glass and it was
known that she was so selling and
people went there to obtain it and
did purchase and drink on the prem
ises, it made her house a place of
public resort in the meaning Of the
statute. Judge Veazey held that
though the charge could not be accept
ed as a general definition, it was cor
rect here for the reason that it was in
accordance with the facts of the
case as presented by the evidence.
Still another point was raised in
this case. 1t was proved after trial
that this was respondents second Of
fence and the county court fixed the
sentence accordingly. Judge Veazey
held that this was error, and that the
statute as amended in recent years
requires proof of a first conviction
before trial. Accordingly the SEN
tence was changed to five first Of
fences. 1t is easy to see that this
will not help violators of the law, for
it leaves the jury to presume guilt from
the start.

Important Liquor Law Decision.

Inasmuch as the status of sweet
cider under the statute has been much
discussed, the opinion of the Su-
preme Court in the case The State V.
Nancy Spaulding, rendered by Judge
Neazy on Saturday morning, is of
importance. In that case respond
ent was tried on two counts, the first
for selling Intoxicating liquor and the
second for selling cider. She was
acquitted under the first count and
convicted under the second. Vari-
Gus questions were raised in the case
and among them whether the statute
in fact prohibits the sale of sweet
cider. Judge Veazey held that the
prohibition of the statute applies to
cider, fermented or otherwise, the

OR E HILL.

Capt Waters, from the northern peninsula of Michigan, has been stop ping with Capt Bartle few days. We understand that he has gone to take charge of . mine at West Stockbridge. Mass
 The new route for the railroad through Ore Hill is likely to prove g work of greater magnitude than was at first supposed. The fill is deep and the rock cut is hard, seamless and unyield- ing. and has to be crushed and ground up with dynamite.
 March came in like lamb, but brought unwelcome news. First, we heard that Capt Hiram Weed was dead at Lakeville. Capt Weed has been long identified with mining here and else- where. A little later we hear that John O'Brien, 8 well-known resident and miner for 10 or 15 years was dead, His death cast 8 dark shadow over the community, and it came so suddenly. It was not generally known that he was i'll. He leaves wife and six young children. His funeral services were con. ducted on Sunday, by Father Fox, and were largely attended.
 The railroad company have steam drill on the side track which we are told is to be used at the rock cut.
 Joseph Argall and George Lukey are on the sick list.
 Jas NJ. Wnodworth, our merchant, will move to Ore Hill, April 1st., and live in Mrs N. J. Reeds house.

FLATTERY FITS US ALL,

Kentuckian Who Tried 1t, and with
Signal Success, on the Late A. r. Stew
art.
Flattery is good thing and it costs abso-
lutely nothing. 1t fits peasant and Prince
equally well. A number of Kentuckians
were in New York City during the early
seventies and called on A. 7. Stewart, the
great merchant prince who had recently
declined the position Of Secretary Of the
Treasury. One Of them, Colonel Boone,
lineal descendant Of the famous pioneer,
Daniel Boone, took aim at the merchant
prince, and fired his eloquence at him as
follows:
"Mr. Stewart, we are party of native
Kentuckians, visiting New York for the
first time. We have been in Washington,
sir, and were introduced to the President,
to General Sherman and numerous states
men by our distinguished representative,
Hon. Proctor Knott. We feel that our trip
would be wholly incomplete without per-
sonal meeting with the greatest inancier of
this age, who has made for himself name
and fame in the field of finance which is not
excelled by our statesmen or our soldiers of
this generation. We desire to pay our re-
spects, Mr.. Stewart, and to be introduced to
you, one by one Permit me to do my friends
this honor"
Andthen he introduced General So-and- so,
Colonel Thingamy and Majors Jones, Brown,
Smith, ct id 0eams Omne. Mr.. Stewart
threw down his pen and personally conduct
ed them through his great establishment
Meantime he had quietly gwen orders to a
subordinate, and, to cap the climax of his
appreciation Of Colonel Boone's fattering
speech, he led them to a magnificent colla-
ton, which included not only champagne,
but Kentucky Bourbon, with age enough to
make the hair curl even on an old Ken
tuckian like Senator Blackburn. When
they departed Mr.. Stewart gave them cards
admitting them to his private boxes at the
theaters, and giving them carte-blanche of
his establishment during their stay. ~

she Believed in Fate.

Myra Clarke Games believed in fate.
That was the secret of her long contest for
her rights in the courts over that New Or
leans property. She believed it would be
her fate to win another fortune by buying
lottery tickets and she never failed to buy
in the great State lottery. She would
walk into the tobacco store where the tick
cts were on sale in Washington and the
proprietor would open the case wherein the
tickets were kept. Mrs. Gaines would
gently fan herself for three minutes and
every ticket which was blown up by the
motion of her fan she would buy, Some
times it would be one or two; but she has
bought as high as seventeen tickets at a
time. Usually only four or five tickets
were moved by her fan, but once there were
seventeen. The man who sold the tickets
says; zone day Mrs. Gaines stood by the
case for nearly five minutes tanning her
self and not q single ticket moved. She
took it for bad omen, not only in her lot
terry experience, but she believed that it
was bad omen for her celebrated court
case, and she worried over it for o month,
until the next time when the tickets were
for sale. That was the time when she
turned up seventeen" fe. s.,...Y
