Recently while the workmen at the
Carpenter limestone quarries were drill

must be somewhere along the side OF the

The recent exposure of the crooked"

DON'T Want THE SALOON
Ministers and Teachers Protest
Against a Liquor Store Next
to School No. rs.

The Revs. James Parker and Edgar O..
Rowland and Principal Towne of Public
School No. %. attended the meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night to pro-
test against the granting of a liquor Ii
cense to Gustaye Newman to keep a
saloon on the corner of Zabriskie street
and Nelson avenue, adjoining the school
house. The Republican Aldermen held
a caucus on the subject which lasted an
hour. Joe" Locke and two or three
more of Sheriff Toffey's constituents were
on hand to help Newman get his IL
cense. Alderman Patrick Connolly, the
Democratic member from the Second dis
trict, who has not been present at a
meeting since he voted Bumptious Woolley
clerk, was on hand to help Newman
along.
The Excise Committee, of which Alder
man Witter is chairman, reported that
it had decided to keep Newmann's appli-
cation in COMMITTEES. The presence of
several professionals caused Alderman
Wilson to move that a remonstrance
signed by Henry Brautigan, foreman of
the Grand jury. and 240 others. be read.
The motion met with opposition from six
members, who contended that it was a
waste of time to read 1t, particularly as
the Excise Committee intended giving APP
plicant and demonstrators a hearing. The
remonstrance was read and the Rev.
James Parker and the Rev. Edgar How
a were given the privilege of the
floor. They argued that nearly every
resident of he district in which the
saloon Is to be located was opposed to
it. Their claim was that its proximity
to Public School No. % would have a bad
effect upon the 1900 children who would
be compelled to pass the saloon four
on the evils of ~intemperance. Pastor
Parker said it was natural for boys to
tease a drunken man. He thought some
of them would be hurt and he was sure
the effect upon their morals would be bad.
Principal Towne made an appeal on be-
half of the lady teachers, who would
have to pass the saloon and doubtless be
subjected to insult by the hangers on.
Newman, the applicant, was heard. He
erty at the time the site for the school
was purchased, but John F. Madden, then
President of the Street and Water Board,
said the city could not afford to buy it.
He explained further that he had tried
to sell the land, but 1t being so close to
the school no one wanted 1t. He con-
tends he was compelled to build and open
a saloon in order to get revenue from the
property,
license, agreeing If he did not keep an
orderly, respectable saloon he would glad
ny consent to a revocation of the license.
The Excise Committee will consider the
application and give everyone interested
a chance to be heard this week.

ALUMINIUM LEGS AND EARS.

THE JOYS OF CHRISTMAS.
1t Brings Delightful Buoyant Youth
Rack for n Time.

One Of the most blessed things about
Christmas is that it makes so many
people feel young, writes Edward w. Box
in December Ladies' Home Journal. It is
the one season of the year when every
body feels that they can dismiss abstruse
thoughts, put dignity aside. forget the
worries of the world. and for a time re-
turn to their youth. 1t always seems a
pity that men try to conceal this feeling
So often at Christmas. Only a few men
are capable of being gracefully caught in
the act of making a miniature train OF
it a night or W before Chris mas, and
nine out of ten will instantly get up, from
the carpet, brush the dust from the knees
carpets of the best-regulated homes-and
Immediately begin to apologize. / rave
often wondered why men resent being
caught in this way. But a woman feels
differently, and it is a blessed thing that
she does.
