UNPROFITABLE SALOONS,
The Chicago Brewers VIII Shut Up
LOO of Them.

1,7OO of Them.
From the Chicago News.
Chicago brewers are tired of being saloon
keepers, and have decided that after Janu-
airy l. there will be LOO less saloons in the
city than at present. Those that remain
must pay a third or a half more for beer
than is being paid now. In consequence of
this decision there is general alarm among
saloon keepers whose licenses are owned
and whose rents are paid by the brewers,
and 1000 or more of them are wondering
who will have to go to work.
The leading brewers of the city have held
several secret meetings Of late, at which it
was practically decided to raise the price Of
beer or the LIST of January. Comparisons of
receipts and expenses have shown that the
close competition in Chicago has been a
losing game, and the brewers have decided
to retrench.
For several years past 1t has been the
policy of the brewers to establish saloons
wherever there was a prospect of selling
enough beer TO make paying investment
Competition has been SO close that one
brewery would establish saloon in the
neighborhood where 1t was known there
would be little or no return, simply to pre-
vent some other brewer from securing a
foothold in that territory. 1t is said that
the breweries have lost money, and many
ambitious saloon keepers have sunk their
savings in losing business.
In their recent meetings the brewers have
decided, so 1t Is said, that there are too many
saloons in the city, and they have decided to
lop off a large number of Them believing
that those that remain will be able to do as
much business as was formerly done, and
that with less expense. One proprietor
when spoken to, admitted that an advance
In price was contemplated. He said the
Brewers Association has agreed, with the
exception Of one man, who is not Chicago
brewer, to advance the price from 81 to So a
barrel.
The dropping Of LOO saloons will mean q
serious loss to the revenue of the city. AT
present each saloon in the city pays q IL
cense Of $500 a year.

MOONsHINER OF FACT.
Illicit Whisky Business Presented In
New Light.

New Light.
From Iippincott's
He Is neither bandit nor highwayman,
disturber of the peace, nor, in respect to
formularies other than the revenue statutes,
law breaker. Least of all, perhaps, Is lie
a desperate. Within a month of this pres
ent writing, a traveller on one of the Ten
nessee railways entered the smoking car of
the train. In the rear seat sat an officer in
charge of "covey'' of moonshiners flushed
by him on the mountain the night before.
Their were twelve In the party; they had
We without resistance to one man; and
most singular circumstance of all. in the
sc uth-the deputy had not found 1t neceS-
sary to put them in irons.
At their trial, the members of this party
will doubtless plead guilty to a man, though
little hard swearing would clear probably
half of them; they will beg for mercy or for
light sentences; and those of them who
promise amendment will most likely never
be again brought in on the same charge, for
the mountaineer is prone TO keep his prom
iSeS, amendatory or otherwise.
A venerable judge, in whom judicial Sc
verify Is tempered by generous adniXture
of loving kindness and mercy, and whose
humane decisions have made his name u
word to conjure with among the jewellers
in the waste places, tells story which en-
phasizes the promise-keeping trait in the
mountain character. A hardened sinner Of
the StlllS, whose nrSt ana second OnenSeS
were already recorded against him, was
once again brought to book by the vigilance
of the revenue men. AS old offender,
who had neither promised nor repented, 1t
was likely to go hard with him; and he
begged earnestly, not for liberty, but for a
communication of his sentence which would
send him to Jail instead Of the peninten-
tary. promising that so long as the judge
remained upon the bench he would neither
make nor NEEDLE with Illicit whisky
He won his case, and was sent to Jail for
term Of eleven months. This was in
summer, and six months later, when the
first SHOWS began to powder the bleak sum-
mits of Chilhowee, the judge received a let
ter from the convict. 1t was a simple-heart-
ed petition for a ''furlough' of ten days,
pathetic and eloquent In its primitive Eng
fish and quaint misspellng. Would the
judge let him off for just ten days? Winter
was coming on, and the wife and children
were alone in the cabin on the mountain
with no one to make provision for their
wants. He would not overstay the time,
and he would certain shore come back and
surrender himself
His petition was granted, and. true to his
word. the mountaineer returned on the
tenth day and gave himself up to the sher-
if. He served the remainder of his SEN
tence. and after his release kept his pledge
so long as the judge remained on the bench.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.
sun-Dogs or Mock suns-Their Effects Upon
the Sun.

One of the most remarkable accom-
paniments of the cold snap, says the
Sun. was the fact that all the Maryland
rivers emptying into and bordering upon
the Chesapeake bay were entirely frozen
over The brilliantly colored halo which
occurred on Thursday of last week WAS
repeated yesterday in an even clearer
manner. 1t was brightest early in the
morning, but was also noticed in the
afternoon. and attracted much atten-
ton, not only in Baltimore, but also at
many points through the State. The
halo appeared some degrees above the
sun. in the form of a semicircle. with
its convex side toward the sun, and the
prismatic colors were revealed with a
brilliancy scarcely ever excelled by rain
bow. On each side of the sun and about
the same distance from 1t as the halo ap-
peared several bright, luminous spots,
called by the scientists parphelia, but
more commonly knows as eun-dogs or
mock-suns. When the phenomenon was
at its brightest, variously arranged white
circles, arcs and bands intersected the
halo or were tangens to it at the same
point as the sun-dogs. The phenomenon
is daily occurrence In the arctic re-
gionb and Is not uncommon in these
ATTITUDES in wet or damp wintry wealth
er. 1t is due to the refraction of the
light OF the sun through myraids of
crystals of ice or snow floating In the
air or through the fine moisture in light,
fieecy clouds. The appearance of the
sun-dogs is popularity believed to DO an
indication of colder weather.
Yesterday was the twelfth day of the
present cold snap. 1t began last Satur-
day week, the I'd instant, and not onoe
since that time has the weather bureau
thermometer gone above the freezing
point, although in many other places
the sun In the middle of the day has
done something in the direction of melt
ing ice. The opinion of the weather bu-
reau officers is that these cold tempera-
tures are likely to last several more DAYS,
but it is already, with the exception of
the winter of two years agu, the longest
continued period of cold weather ever
recorded In Baltimore since the bureau
was started, twenty-five years ago. Two
years ago there were two such SPELLS
one of eleven days and the other of
twenty day3--separated from each other
by only ,wo days, when the thermome-
ter went half dozen degrees above the
freezing point. 1t was on Decemb 10th,
1892, that the mercury went down below
the freezing point; it was on january
lst, 1893, that it got above that notch
for the first time thereafter, and it was
on January 3rd that it went down again
to remain there until the 22d instant.
The weather during most of this time
was clear and very unlike the stormy
weather and snow of last week.

plains the evolution quite satisfactorily,

The sending of love-tokens began with

tice fell off considerably, but within the
last few years it has taken another firm
hold on the public. But perhaps the
comic valentine is scattered more num-
