Bergren, who dealt in original packages

was that he sold liquor in violation of

holds that the law when enacted was

to pass upon the claim that the law is

CURIOUS CHARITIES

How some Eceehtric EnefIshuen Aimed To
PerPeeoose Their Names
Besides the endowed schools and aims
houses small and great which abound in
England, there exist countless multi
tude of charities of the most diverse
kinds Some are quite obsolete. As
when . man has given funds for redeem
ing Christians captured by Barbary cor
sairs. or to furnish forth soldiers for the
wars in Ireland (though perhaps some
day the last mentioned use may be re-
vived); others are for public works
maintenance Of churches, repair Of sea
wallis and SO forth In one parish some
jealous Puritan in the days before the
civil war. when preaching was not SO
much attended to as the ''godly" party
wished. has endowed a 'lectureship" in
the parish pulpit, fruitful source of
modern quarrels; in another some latent
High Cherchman in the dead-water
reigns of the Georges has made be-
quest for the maintenance of a second
divine service every Sunday, or the ad-
ministration of holy communion at least
once in a quarter. Some charities are
of more convivial and mundane char
acter. There is a midland town where
q lovial testator has ordained that year
~, upon Midsummer Day, every male
inhabitant of a certain street should be
supplied out of the rents of certain
farm, for the promotion of good fellow

tobacco. and that every child in the
ten should have cake. OF like nat
ure is the beer which flows for the bene-
ut OF thirsty wayfarers at the gates of
tai ~
chester. Other charities are of a less
cheerful description. So, at Exeter, a
Mr.. Griffith Ameredith. founded char
ity 'for the buying of shrouds for pris-
oners who should suffer at Ryngswell,"
the old place of execution at Heavitree,
in the suburbs of Exeter. We learn
from the reports of the charity commits
sioners that at the beginning of this
century these shrouds cost S. Cd each.
Englishmen are inclined to deride the
French plan of promoting the moral
qualities by prir de certu, and are not
generally aware that the like useful in
situations abound in their own country.

trustees of this charity have never, even
in the worst of subsequent times, been
unable to find at least this number of
good Donovians. About other charities
there is touching rural simplicity. AT

THEATRICAL RIOT.
A Peripatetic Company Fighting With the
Audience.

Perfpatetic Company Fighting With the
Audience.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. 25--At a
performance given by the Sunny
South" theatrical company at Ceredo
over a dozen were badly beaten up.
while the floating theater in which the
trouble occurred was badly wrecked.
The trouble was inaugurated by a
number of tough young men, who per-
sisted in insulting the people upon the
stage, and during the second act three
of the actors left the stage with clubs and
attacked several of their tormenters. The
three were at once overpowered by the
audience and cruelty beaten. The re-
mainder of the company went to their
assistance when some one turned out
the lights. Pandemonium at once broke
loose and every man began an onslaught
on his neighbor in the dark. while
women screamed and men called for
help.
The police arrived and deputized a
number of citizens to aid in quelling
the riot, but this only made matters
worse, and soon revolver shots began to
echo around the hall. Finally the
crowd charged on to the stage after the
fleeing performers, who were uncere-
moniously flung into the river, where
they were stoned in the darkness.
Every one of the police and show peo-
pie were badly wounded by stones, and
the condition of several is serious
