Sixteenth-st and Stuyvesant Square, recently per-
mitted Moore & Tucker to start liquor store al

lDr. Rainsford exacted that women should
be admitted into the liquor store. and that no
children should be served with drink. Or. Ransiord
exacted as a guarantee of good faith bond or
600 from the proprietors to be forfeited IN case
contract. But Moore Tucker like , other Ell llGaor

ford's church their place was open and doing

garing the excise law. But so far Moore Il Tucker
have KEEP, their pledge in regard to the women, !
and as ALI liquor-stores violate the Excise law We
don't think 1t worth while to interfere with them.
