LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. 4--Political and
liquor circles are still talking over the re-
moval of Inspector Remick from the head
Of the liquor squad. The no-license law
has not been enforced since May /, and up
% Jan. over 300 Kitchen barrooms' and
"speak easies" were selling, and every
man who had license previously kept
selling with only occasional visits from
Remick and the liquor squad.

city officials was rudely broken by Mayor
Rutter. but not until the liquor dealers
had made desperate fight for the reten-
tion of the old liquor squad When all
other attempts had failed TO alter Mayor
Rutter's intention 10 change the squad
Maurice Curran and John Joyce, the
leading liquor dealers of the city, accom-
panied by John j. Donovan, registrar OF
deeds, one of the mayors closest friends,
visited him and made an attempt to have
him retain Remick.
The mayor Indignantly resented this
visit as an insult TO his honesty, and a
stormy scene resulted. The mayor was
determined, however, and the visit was a
failure. The new inspector, Timothy
Mccarthy, had the reputation OF being
fearless officer and determined OPP
ponent OF illegal selling. The carnival OF
whisky and lager selling has come TO a
sudden halt, and it is now difficult TO OBJ
tain a drink anywhere.
The mayor yesterday removed the last
three Republican officials in his power to
reach.

A Stickler For Etiquette,

Talleyrand, like most diplomats was IA
nous for his attention to the details of ETH
quette. He prided himself on an ability
to adjust his mode Of address to the rank
and position of the person to whom he
was speaking.
On one occasion, when number of dis
tinguished men were dining with him, he
varied his formula when inviting them to
partake of beef in such manner as to suit
the rank of the respective persons.
MAY have the honor of sending your
royal highness a little beef" he asked
prince of the blood.
To duke he said, "Monseigneur, per-
nit me to send you little beef"
Marquis, he continued, may send
you some beef?"
"Viscount, pray have little beef. "
s'Baron, do you take beef" ran the next
Interrogation.
Monsieur, he said to an untitled gem
tleman, "some beef?'
To his secretary he remarked casually,
Beef"
But there was one gentleman left who
deserved even less consideration than the
secretary and Talleyrand, posing his
knife in the air, favored him with mere
look of Interrogation. If this guest was
possessed of an independent spirit, one can
imagine that he did not take beef that
day.-Life's Calendar
