Hard on the Saloon Men.

Three of the North Walpole liquor cases
called before Judge Holmes and continued
were taken up Monday and severe doses of
legal correction given.
The keene Sentinel has the following ac-
count of the trials.
Michael Monahan and Michael Murphy,
found guilty of being common sellers of
spirituous liquors, and sentenced to pay
fine of s 100 each, and to be imprisoned 80
days in jail; appeals taken to the April
term Of the supreme court, and bonds fixed
and furnished in the sum of $500 each
Similar charge against Thomas brisbane
dismissed.
| The brisbane case differed from the two
others, in that the only evidence adduced
was that of keeping beer and cider for sale,
and Judge Holmes ruled inadmissible the
fact of keeping malt liquor for sale as evil
dence of being a common seller Of spiritu-
GUS liquors. On the other hand, it was
shown that Monahan and Murphy had
taken out government licenses, which fact,
it was held, should be taken as evidence.
The question was a knotty one, and
without precedent in law decisions, so far
as could be ascertained by long and dill
gent search. A fine point of discrepancy
between the statute and the government en-
actment lay in the fact that at the time the
state law was passed United States licenses
were required to be posted by their pos
SCISSORS, whereas they are not now SO posted
: The legislative enactment uses the phrase
''the posting of the license y but Judge
Holmes, after careful deliberation, con-
Guided that the intent of the law was I'M
doubtedly the possession of the license,
and that the mere fact of its being posted
was immaterial
These cases are of considerably more
than passing Importance in the establish
ment Of precedents, and their course in the
higher court will be watched by the law
yers with much interest.

"Have Faith in God"

Last Sunday Prof. Homer c. Bristol OF
Saxtons River occupied the Congregational
pulpit in the absence of the pastor who
preached in DIR. Phillips church in Rutland
The preacher used the text, ''Have faith
in God" Some of his best sentences were
''Faith is the most beautiful attitude OF
the human soul and so the most beautiful
thing in the world"
"Love thinks of self; faith thinks OF
God.n
''Faith is the most universal of human
relations and so the most rational basis fo1
religion"
'Iet faith cease to exist in the relation
Of parent and child or husband and wife
and death enters in, the heart is crushed.
"There is more faith in honest doubt
than in half the creeds.''

CHOKED TO DEATH.
Mrs. Edmund Tucker Killed by q
Burglar I'm Her YOnkers Home.

YONKERS, N. Y. Jan. G-Mrs. Edmund
Tucker was choked to death by a burglar
at her home on Central avenue, near Un-
derhill, tonight. She was found by her
husband, who returned late and discovered
that all the doors were locked. Thinking
his wife might be visiting. he inquired of
the neighbors, and was told that she had
not been seen since late in the afternoon
He then returned to his house, and, going
to back window, heard the screams of his
three-year-old boy from within. He opened
the window and climbed inside to find his
wife lying dead in the hallway just outside
the sitting room door. The little boy was
also found to be suffering from a severe
cut across the face, and when asked what
had caused the trouble he said that an old
man wearing a slouch hat and seedy gray
overcoat had entered the house and de-
manded money. When this was refused
him he seized Mrs. Tucker and choked her
into submission. He then struck the boy
with a heavy cane which he carried and
proceeded to take what valuable things he
could find in a hasty trip through the house.
Some of the missing articles are lady's
double cased gold watch and several gold
rings. Coroner Miless examination dis
closed the fact that Mrs. Tucker had been
in a delicate condition, and that the shock
as we'll the assault was responsible for
her death.
