BETHLEHEM, Pa, March l2.-South
Bethlehem saloon keepers are excited
over notices received by them from the
clerk of the quarter sessions that it was
the desire of the judges that they should
be present at the hearing Of the license
applications at Easton on Monday next.
The practice for years has been for the
old liquor dealers to file their applica-
tions and bonds and the licenses would
then be granted. Hearings were held
only on applications for new licenses.
The old dealers had their surprise in
creased upon learning that South Beth
lehem was made an exception, notices
not having been sent to other towns in
the county. It is proposed to weed out
the disreputable places and to call to ac.
count the thirty or more dealers who
keep their back doors open on Sunday.

Pennsyftanfa Legislature.
HARRISBURG, March i2.-Mr. Seyfert,
of Lancaster, yesterday introduced in
the house bill making it misdemeanor
for any female person to expose her
lower limbs dressed in tights upon the
stage Of any theatre, opera house or
concert hall. Such exposure is declared
gross lewdness and lascivious behavior,
and shall be punished by fine of % to
$25 and imprisonment from Ave to one
hundred days.
The bill offered by Mr.. Patterson
which allows boards Of control of public
parks to grant licenses to sell liquor
within the limits of said parks, was con-
sidered and laid aside when the ballot
reform bill came up at II o'clock as a
special order on second reading. A
number of amendments were consid
cred and adopted before the bill was
laid aside.
The interposition of the ballot reform
bill interrupted what was growing to
be very warm discussion Of Mr.. Pat
terson's bill. Mr.. Brooks denounced
the bill and said it was intended to
grant liquor licenses for Fairmount
park. The citizens of Philadelphia and
the whole state were opposed to it, and
he hoped it would be killed.
The senate the act designating
the days and half days to be observed as
legal holidays passed by vote of so to
/. This provides that all of the Satur-
days between June is and Sept. is shall
be half holidays.
