A Suggestion That Property Owners Dedf-
cate the Land From Street to Building Line
In the recent appropriation bill FOR the Dis
trict there Is an appropriation for grading 18th
street under certain provisions. Among the
provisions is one which reads as follows:
but before said sum or any part
thereof shall be expended every owner Of prop
erty abuttng this street within said limits ex-
cept rs hereinafter provided, shall bind himself,
his heirs. grantees and successors in estate
therein forever, never TO allow any building or
obstruction to be erected within the lines en-
closed between the building lines Of sixteenth
street northwest. extended on the same lines as
now existing within the boundary"
In this connection the question arose:
Should the property owners sign a paper
which would allow them to put up such build
ings as would be permitted were the street
owned for its full width by the District, would
this be a compliance with the law, or would it
be necessary, in order to comply with tine law,
for the property owners to sign paper which
would prevent them from building BAY win
dows steps or any other projections extending
into this space
The attorney for the District was called upon
for an opinion on the above, and has sub
mitted his opinion holding that the best way
to secure the purpose of the act and the desire
Of the owners of the land along the extension.
was for them to dedicate the land betwe n the
street and the building line to the District for
parking. as the District would then have a
standing upon which it could maintain the line
in court or elsewhere.

MORE VIGOR URGED.
Ex-President Cleveland on Pushing Tariff
Reform Doctrines.

Ex-President Cleveland has written a letter
to the Indiana Tariff Reform League declining
to be present at the leagues annual meeting.
The full text of the letter is not given out for
publication. but the closing paragraphs are
made public. They are as follows:
''You will not, hope. think it amiss if
suggest the necessity of pushing with more
vigOr than ever the doctrine of your organi-
cation. believe that the theories and prac-
tices which tariff reform antagonizes are
responsible for many if not all of the evils
which affiict our people. II there is a
scarcity of the circulating medium, is not the
experiment worth trying a remedy of
leaving the money in the hands of the
people and for their use which is need
lessly taken from them under the pre-
text of necessary taxation? III the farmer s
lot is hard one in his discouraging struggle
for letter rewards of his toll. are the prices Of
his products to be improved by policy which
hampers trade in its best markets and invites
the competition Of dangerous rivals? Whether
other means of relief may appear necessary to
relieve present hardships believe the principle
of tariff reform promises most important aid
in their satisfactions. and that the continued
and earnest advocacy of this principle is essen
tial to the tightening Of the burdens OF our
countrymen.
Hoping that your organization may con-
tinue to be one Of great usefulness and encour-
agement, am, yours very respectfully,

A CIRCULAR TO LIQUOR DEALERS.

lation Of STATE Prohibition.


lation Of State Prohibition.
A circular has been issued by Gen. Nettleton.
acting secretary OF the treasury, calling atten-
ton of retail liquor dealers throughout the
country to the fact that under the law they can
not violate state laws of restriction or prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic by merely securing
a federal license by the payment Of the S25
stamp tax. Gen Nettleton says in the circular:
1t should be unnecessary to state that the
United States government does not issue
license or permit of any nature to any person
in any state to carry on the business Of retail
liquor dealer, and it is difficult to understand
how any intelligent citizen be imposed
upon by the opposite claim Congress having
levied revenue stamp tax of S25 per annum
on the business of retail liquor dealer. the
commissioner of internal revenue endeavors
ever the business is carried on, but no SEM
blance of permission. express or implied is
given by the United States government in its
revenue laws or otherwise to begin or continue
such business i'll any place contrary to local
legislation.
The circular prescribes a new form of tax
stamps which states:
This stamp is simply receipt for tax due
the government, and does not exempt the
holder from any penalty or punishment pro-
vided for by the law of any state for carving
on the said business within such state and does
not authorize the commencement nor the con-
tlnuance OF such business contrary to the laws
of such state or in places prohibited by NUM-
cipal law. See section 3243. Revised Statutes

A REMARKABLE MEETING.

After Twenty-Five Years Mother and
Daughter Come Together In a State Prison.
remarkable meeting after twenty-one years
of separation occurred at the woman's prison in
Indianapolis Saturday between a mother,
life convict and her daughter. a resident of st.
Louis. In January, 1870. Mary A. Adams was
tried on the charge of poisoning her husband.
She was sent to the woman's prison to serve a
life sentence, and her family of children were
scattered One of these was Emma who, at the
time her mother was convicted. was FIVE years
old. She was adopted by a family who moved
to Missouri. Enma grew into womanhood
without knowledge of her parents, regarding
both as dead. In time she married and made
her home in st. Louis. A few days ago she re-
turned to Indiana to attend the funeral of a
sister, and there she learned her mothers fate.
Without delay Emma went to indianapolis and
went direct to the womans prison. where she
asked to see Mrs. Adams. A woman, with sor-
row marked on every feature and form bent
with age. was pointed out to her. Emma,
sitting with emotion, approached the prisoner,
and with trembling voice asked: Are you Mrs.
Adamsy'
Yes" replied the prisoner, 'but who are
youy'
Il am Emma Emma-your little Emma.
Don't you remember me?
In instant they we're clasped in each
others arms. The sobbing of the two women
deeply affected all who Witnessed the scene.
The mother continually patted the daughter on
the shoulder, crying. "Oh, my Emma, my little
baby girl"
After the meeting the daughter went at once
to Gov. Hovey and. throwing herself on her
knees, prayed for her mothers pardon. 10
her JOY she learned that her prayer had been
answered, as papers for Mrs. Adams pardon
had been long pending and the night before the
governor had decided to issue the order for the
womans release. In the afternoon Mrs. Adams
became free woman and left that evening for
