LIQUOR ON Boats.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court
Judge Miller decided the demurrer in the
case Of Capt. Randall, charged with sell
ing liquor on steamboats, within the Dis
trict without license. Lawyer Smith ar
gued that the use Of the word premises in
the law did not include steamboats,. The
court held that although the word steam
beats does not appear in the law the law
covers them. 1t is now probable that the
case will bs certioraried to the upper court.

from the West to Europe through Southern
oorts is one of the most striking features OF
the business interests OF the day-the ex-
ports from Norfolk and Newport News being
sufficiently heavy to place these points In

ports of corn from Norfolk from the first oil

exports from Newport News have increased

slightly subdued. The dinner was served,
with long periods for reflection between
courses. Mrs. Whitehall attacked each
plate as it was placed before her with
great ardor, which seemed to fade away
with the first or second mouthfuI. l re-
gret to say that her appetite is another of
her failings; she is always hungry and
her expression of anguish as the meal pro-
ceeded was eminently unbecoming. When
the dinner concluded in a little tom bstone
with red trimmings, she seemed to feel
that it would be pity to disturb the
charming shape and let it go from her un-
touched. 1t had a curious taste; l am
unable to state what it was composed of,
but if swallowed hastily, in throat masti-
cation, am sure no taste at ali could be
detected.
The Distinguishing characteristic of the
meniais in the establishment seems to be
their veracity. 1t shows wonderful lack
of prejudice and broad minded justice
that they have q male waiter and door

the legal aspirations of women. When
the late Myra G. Bradwell applied in 1870
for permission to practice law in Illinois
the Supreme Court of that State denied
her application, and its decision was af-
firmed by the Supreme Court of the United
States. the only dissenting opinion being
that OF Chief Justice Chase. Three years
afterward the Legislature of Illinois
passed law providing that no person
should be precluded from any occupation,
except military, on account OF sex. This
started the movement in favor of the
women, and now 1t is not believed that
any State would offer serious objections to
women practicing in its courts. Most of
the law schools accept women pupils,
although three of the most prominent
those of Columbia, Yale and Harvard
still take the old conservative view of the
matter and admit men only. The law de-
partmeats of the University of Michigan
and the New York University have grad
uated more women than any others in the
country. The first woman grad from
law school in this or any other country
was Mrs. Ada E. Kepley of Illinois, who
completed her law course in the North
western University, Chicago, in 1870.

unobservant of the things Immediately
about me. 1t came about in this manner:
| was camping alone on the island of To-
bago and had taken the trail leading from
my hut on the beach into the deep forest
path over which had walked at least a
score of times beforehand / presently
reached a spot where the shade was so
dense that it made sort of twilight.
Suddenly there appeared to my astonished
eyes something which caused me to rub
them in doubt whether I was not dream
ing. for right in front of me, crossing the
path, was a band of green, stretching
across the brown, dun-coIored earth, and
as my eyes became accustomed to the dim
light, so that I-could o bserve it more par
ticularly, saw that this green ribbon was
moving regularly along, like the belt over
a factory wheel. At first it seemed toe'-s
solid and unbroken, but soon 1 detecVW
many divisions in the line, and saw tha. W
was composed of thousands of bits oA
leaves, each about half an inch in diam
eter. Upon turning over some of these
leaf fragments | found that the motive
power of each one was big red ant, who
clnng to it desperately, and as soon as re-
leased took its place in the ranks again.
fOr many minutes WaCcneu the VerQant
procession, but it seemed no near the end
than when first saw it.
Out of the dusky woods on one side the
path it emerged and into the depths of
the other it disappeared, travelling tire
lessly onward to some destination un-
known to me. 1 could not very we'll trace
its course, the forest being so dense; but
there must have been millions of ants in
the column, all marching in perfect order
and evidently with some definite end in
view.
These insects, which are known as the
great-headed red ants, not only use th cir
powerful scissor jaws upon the leaves of
trees and plants, but should they find
tablecloth or handkerchief or anything of
that kind on the ground, will cut out of it
neat little semi-circular holes, taking the
pieces away to their nests. Whether or
not they use these bits of cloth for lining
their nests, or put them to their proper
use as napkins and handkerchief fs can
not say.
