Liquor Business-Notes.
Saturday the police went into the bill
posting business and put up quarter sheet
posters announcing to the public the or
dinance relating to the streets, obstruct-
ing the sidewalks, crosswalks and entran-
ces. The notices were quite thickly dis
played and as near as possible were posted
In the immediate vicinity of where Sun
day liquor selling was supposed to be
carried on. In several instances the post
ers were tackled upon buildings owned
by private citizens and 1t is a question OF
whether or not the police have violated
the town ordinance against defacing
buildings. In two places the bills were
torn down and thrown into the street.
In one instance the bills wsre removed by
the person who has charg Of the proper
ty. One man stated last evening that he
would ascertain II the police had a right
to nail posters upon his building without
permission. The notices are good thing,
however, ano the public appreciates the
work OF the officers.

Sundays Kitchen Trade.
Yesterday was an exception to the regu-
lar Sunday programme usually observed
by the liquor dealers, and now they are
puzzled, and II is no more than proper
that an explanation should be given by
the authorities, who have taken their
$3.50 for a license. By mutual agreement
many of them closed their places Of busi-
ness and In their locality 1t was dry pick
ing. People came from Pawtucket and
went to other than their stamping ground
to procure their grog. But, there wa,
drunkenness Just the same and beel
flowed freely on tap from kitchen bar
rooms that did thriving business all day
| This Is what causes the legitmat
dealers to kick. The proprietors of tn
kitchen shops work all through the weel

the authorities. The majority of then
are filthy dives. The beer lie put into tn,
cellar, and peddled out from schooner
to any size "growler." In the tenement
the sales are made In the presence OF
women and children. The proper dealers
make a grand kick and can see no reason
