LIQUOR IN GOVERNMENT PARKS.
Interesting Questions to he Settled in
the Trial of the Croghan Case.

The case of John Croghan. the caterer.
charged with selling liquor in Geological
Park in violation Of law. was set for trial
in the Police Court today. but the jury was
discharged and the case went over until
next week The trial of this case promises
to be of interest, both to the temperance
people and the liquor men. Croghan's place
was located in Geological Park. a govern
ment reservation, and the defendant had
permission, so he claims. to sell liquors.
Wine and beer were the only beverages he
sold In the Capitol, as well as in at least
one other government building, liquors are
sold and no District license is paid, and the
decision In this case will probably settle
the legal questions in other cases.
The main question to be decided is wheth-
or the LIQUOR law, an act of Congress, is in
force where public buildings or reservations
are concerned.
Some years ago a case of this kind was
tried under an act of the legislative as
sembly, so 1t is said, and the decision was
against the District, but now Mr.. Pugh,
the prosecuting attorney, is satisfied that
the law of Congress covers the entire Dis
trict, Certainly, in words, ii excerpts no
such place as government building or
reservation, and he is satisfied that the
government will win this case
Mr. Croghan will be represented by Mr..
E. b. Hay, and the facts will not be dis
puted. He will, however, produce written
authority for him to sell the liquors men
toned and will summon several govern
ment officials as witnesses.
Mr. Pugh says that If the court decides
the case in favor of the defendant he sees
no reason why punch and strong drinks
cannot be sold in the public parks by the
men who go about selling Lemonade in
buckets. The parks are public reserva-
tons, he says. and II the law eXempts one
1t certainly must exempt all.

A Life Saving Horse.

From the Boston Herald.
The following circumstance occurred at
the Cape of Good Hope In one of the
violent storms that often occur there a
vessel was forced on the rocks and beaten
to pieces. The greater part of the crew
persisted miserably, as no boat could ven
ture to their assistance. Meanwhile a
planter came from his farm to see the
wreck, and knowing the spirit of his horse
and his excellence swimmer, he de-
termined to make a desperate effort for
their deliverance. and pushed into the
laundering breakers At first both disap-
peared, but were soon seen on the surface.
Nearing the wreck, he caused two of the
poor seamen to cling to his boots, and so
brought them safe to the shore. Seven
times did he repeat this perilous feat and
saved fourteen lives, but, alas! the eighth
time. the horse being much fatigued and
meeting with formidable wave, the
gallant fellow lost his balance and was
overwhelmed in moment He was seen
no more. but the noble horse reached the
land In safety.

discussion as to the introduction Of military

most ardent Of patriots. and the stars and

Of her son, the Duke OF Clarence. The prin-
cess with her usual gentle reticence. tried to
hide her GRIEF for her nrst-born. It was

her. One day while walking with one OF
her ladies in the quiet lanes near Sand
bingham she met an old woman weeping
bitterly and tottering under a load Of pack
ages. On inquiry Il appeared that she was
a carrier. and made her living by shopping
and doing errends in the market town for

Has n Great Negative Record.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
One Of the most remarkable old men in
Delaware county, Pa, is Edwin Urian, re-
siding In Darby township. He has a rec
ord hard to eclipse. He is now in his
eightythird year, and says he never smok-
ed pipe or a cigar, never chewed tobacco,
never owned dog, watch gun, except
an old gun he bought at a sale for 50, and
he thinks somebody stole that, for he never
shot load from 1t. He never ate but three
oysters, never drank a glass of beer never
was at a circus or theater and was never
more than thirty miles from home but once
in his life. He never belonged to any asso-
ciation or secret order. He went to work
when a boy for three fippenny bits a day,
and has never been idle a day since for
want of work. He thinks that honest la
Dor and temperance never hurt anybody.
He has an Idea that he has squared more
timber for building purposes than any man
now living in Darby township, or perhaps
in the county. He is still as hale, hearty
and active as most men of sixty, and his
wife, who Is a few years his junior, is also
living and in excellent health.

Mr.. Jimsmith RepuIses an Agent.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Jimsmith. the lawyer, whose name is
a household word in Chicago recently
moved into a beautiful suburban home
He Is highly pleased with 1t in a general
way, but so many agents call upon him
that he finds 1t rather a bore. The other
day he opened the door to twelve agents
before the afternoon was half over and
when he was summoned to the door for the
thirteenth time he was mad enough to fight
herd Of porcupines. A tall, sad-eyed man,
dressed in black, confronted him and
started to say something, but Mr.. Jimsmith
interrupted him:
"You don't need to tell me what you have
to sell. because don't want it; don't need
burglar-proof clock. nor a bootjack that
has a music box in it. nor stemswinding
can opener; 1 don't"

"Oh, you don't need to dear sir me: it
won't work. 1 tell you don't want gate
that may be taken from its hinges and used
as a folding bed; / have no use for a COM
bined currycomb and mustache cup; have
a full supply of furniture polish, cough
medicine and hair restorer, and, whats
more. my wife doesn't need recipe for
preserving Goldfish or frying billiard balls"
Really, sir, this is most extraordi-
nary"
"Oh, of course, it's extraordinary, but

CRATE horse radish and tune the plano, but
1 tell you that / don't need 1T. Perhaps 1t

but you'll have to go somewhere else to sell
II. L ain surprised that a man of your age
and respectable appearance should go
around trying to sell pocket corn shelters
when the whole neighborhood is full of
wood that ought to be sawed. What's the
use of trying to sell man a fire escape
when you can make 81 day baling hay?'
I'm not an agent"

rem Church, and 1 came over to get ac-
quainted. not knowing that you were run
