the Rev. George Gordon and he and his
wife had received the wheels ss presents
from his congregation. He asked that the

An Important Bearing.

WARRINGTON, March 25.-When the
Pollard Breckinridge breach of promise
suit is resumed in court tomorrow the first
thing in the proceedings will be ruling
by Judge Bradley upon the admissibility of
the evidence contained In several deposit
lions offered by the defence. The ques-
ton of their sdmissibility was argued by
the attorneys yesterday privately before
Judge Bradley with vie " to keeping their
contents from the jury, but the testi-
mony they contain has been practically
covered in press dispatches ct the time the
dispositions were taken. The decision of
Judge Bradley will have an important
bearing upon tho time of the Defendants
taking the stand in his own behalf. Should
the depositions be ruled cut he may bs
called as q witness before adjournment to-
morrow, but the probability is that he will
not enter upon his defence before Tuesday
morning.

Less Drinking Nowadays.

Men in this town do not drink so
much as they formerly did, according to
the bartenders and hotel proprietors.
Statistics have been carefully compiled
by paper devoted to the liquor dealers
showing that the consumption of hard
drinks and champagnes is decreasing in
the saloons and the general run of drinks
IS mild and innocuous. Perhaps no bet
ter illustration could be given than that
of the Tuxedo Club. which is an organ
ization composed exclusively of New York
ers, who were formerly supposed to be
hard drinkers. Three bartenders were
formerly ON duty at the Tuxedo Club,
but now only one is employed there,
although the attendance is as large as
ever. Of eight men who formed typi-
cal crowd of racing men and men-about-
town at Delmonuco's last night, only
one drank whiskey. Another took a
bottle OF beer, but the rest confined
themselves to settler, lemon juice,
calisaya and vermouth. Hotel proprie-
tors, who devote a great deal OF attention
to the drinking habits of their patrons,
since their incomes depend so much
upon this branch of the business, say
that the most radical change is in the
direction OF the hours when New York
ers drink. Formerly cocktails were the
regulation drink in the morning, and
were sold in great numbers. There was
also great deal of champagne taken
at luncheon, during the flush periods.
Now the bars are deserted in the morn
ing, and the men do not begin to drink
until two or three o clock in the after
noon. After dinner and during the night
the drinking is about as persistent as
formerly, though there is nowadays a
strong tendency to eschew the stronger
liquors, and general liking is displayed
for light wines at dinner, where former
ly champagne or whiskey was regularly
ordered. Perhaps it is only gradual
evolution into the habits of the older
civilization of Europe after all.-N. Y.
Sun.
