- ...p VIrAxcs fvu Ffour. The legal
a6vksers Of the Liquor Dealers Association
hAys given the following advice to their
elionis:
1--WE advise your committee. and through
yco Iour associates, to prepare 10 meet the
rl6< [srss valid and constitutional, and that
- = "a after the 1st Of July. 1893, II will be
{. In view Of the heavy penalties and
pun{1 6Dent prescribed by the statute, we
csnno( wise you to continue selling after
1ne July, 1898, but, on the contrary,
.v..Y,y sus Terms OF INC
tl1tVts until IT has FIRST been sdjudged In
VALID.
B. To test the question Of tho consti-
nationality Of the statute on the point Of
Federal prohibition or discrimination, we
advise that proper proceedings be taken to
teet the question, but that pending such pro-
ceedings and the determination thereof tho
provisions Of the Act be carefully observed
The statute, so far rs we can see, can only
be tested after the 1st Of July, 1893, by
che attempt Of the State or any Of its officers
10 seize and sell liquors manufactured in
another State and exposed for sale hero by
some one who has obtained and holds IL
oense TO sell liquors for the whole year.
The Sun epitomizes the advice OF the coun-
sci as follows:
The liquor traffic is not legitimate bus
iness. In every city and State in the Union
the business.is is subject TO legislative enact
mont and police regulation, aud against that
there is nothing to do. We advise tho
liquor dealers of,the state not to spend five
, cents Id sesieting ghe law.
& The rcstlIt M5ibat the law will 60 int
: meet dnresIsted, for tho advice Of the coun
sci Of the associ rtion was given after th'
most thorough and careful investigation o.
the whole matter.
Whether The dispensary system will prove
blessing or curse remains yet to be seen
Its friends and opponents have most positive
aud Numerically opposite views on this
subject. Time will tell which are right. -

Of means. generally, make it rule to
send their money to other towns 10 pur-
chase what they can buy at homo, Of the

Twenty Girls Enough.

In the Quaker City there is well
known business and society man who
pursues strikingly original line of con-
duct. In his business he is quiet, reg
ular and industrious, and particularly
prides himself upon the neatness and
accuracy which characterized his books
of account. During the social season
he fits about from entertainment to en-
tertainment, frequently attending operas
and playhouses, always having wi III him
some one of score of girls to whom he
pays more or less attention. Wht ii asked
why he had SO many girls he sail: 'Oh,
all girls tai as they write-very much
alike, but still there is more variety in
twenty than in one. Besides, keep a
regular set of books at home in which
enter every cent spend on them, and it
affords me considerable amusement.
For instance, charge cost of theate1

A rhoughtless Old Gentleman.

1t was the night rush hour" on the
Brooklyn bridge trains. More people
were crowded into one of the cars at the
New York terminus than had any right
to be there without risking suffocation.
Through the side entrance to the car
came three young and pretty girls,
swept on by the tide of humanity. The
car was crowded, but that didn't mat
ter. In the crush the girls were help
less. They couldn't help being pushed
into the car, and an instant later they
couldn't withstand the counterpush
which seated one of them, willy nilly,
on the knees of an old gentleman. In
the jam her two companions were thrust
against this young woman, and pre-
vented her from rising 1t was not un-
til the train was well on its trip toward
Brooklyn that the crowd gave way
little and she was enabled to regain her
footing. She begged the old mans par
don sweetly enough, but to her friends
she said not word until the three were
safely out of the car and on the platform
of the Brooklyn station. Then she freed
her mind.
"That's what call an impolite man."
she declared.
"Why?" said one of her companions,
Il thought he behaved beautifully. He
didn't say word"
''That's just the trouble" snapped the
other. He didn't have the grace even
to say, Keep your seat, madam. New
York Times.

The Sum to Get Married On.

No man has right to get married on
less than 81 800 year. At least that Is
the conclusion reached the other day at
the close of long discussion on this
subject. Of course that means if the
man is going to take for his bride
sweet and lovely young woman, who
while being happily provided for al
home has not been overindulged in ex-
travagances, and who has the sense to
know that she can hardly expect a box
at the opera and lots of diamonds from
the young man who has only so lately
firmly established himself in business.
And even if the girl is one of those who
has known what it is to be out in the
world at work for herself. she can hardly
be expected to marry fellow who can
not do as well for her as she did for her
self. She has managed to get along
beautifully by herself on fifty or sixty
dollars month, with plenty of nice, sen.
sible clothes, trip to the theater every
now and then, and every summer, or
maybe every other summer, nice little
jaunt away somewhere, to forget the
little unpleasantnesses of everyday Office
life. And the way this money was to 60
was very nicely settled too.
The young man won't be likely to
have a home of his own to take his win
some bride to, and there is the unfailing
call of the landlord on the first of the
month to be met, and that meeting
means twenty dollars sure, and maybe
more. Sixty dollars will disappear early
in the action by the time the butcher
and baker and candlestick makers and
some other peoples monthly bills have
been settled; $3.50 year is placing the
estimate at very modest figures for the
wearing apparel of each during the
year, and when all this is added up
1880 is cared for, and something must
be put away for rainy days and doctors
bills and occasional treats to the theater
and the lake, and 81 800 is gone! Still
there are others who think they can get
along first rate with good deal less
than this.-Boston Herald.
