SAINT VALENTINES DAY.

The Observance OF This Feast Seems to
BE Dying Out, a Mystery as to Its
Origin.
To. day is s.. Valentines Day. There
Is no doubt about that for the Roman
and Anglican calenders sgree on that
point, and the letter carriers, who have
been forced to carry extra loads, endorse
1t. The wearers OF the gray however
are not kicking to any great extent for
their loads are much lighter than in
yesrs pas. Ia fact IL Is manifest that
the feast is slowly lapsing into inDocuous
dsseutude.
While this may be so, another thing
Is equally true and that is that the filmy
creations Of lace aud paper are giving
way to more useful valentines, In the
shape Of boxes OF bon bons and articles
Of more or less value and use
Just why February IA, should be set
aside as St. Valentines Day has never
been clearly proved. The Saints Yalen
tine, for there were two of these
worthless, were both confirmed batchelors.
and so far as history tells us, led blame.
less lives. They were not addicted to
the follies OF love or Irritation and the
use Of either OF their names for feast
of q nature so foreign to them, seems
the refinement Of sarcasm or the cream
Of igr oranee.
The first Saint Valentine was so
stsunch an upholder Of his batchelordom
and his faith that the Emperor Claudlus
had his head battered In with clubs and
then cut of Not much Of love or comedy
there. The other Saint Valentine was q
bishop, but he was lucky IN escaping
persecution. His death came from acci-
dentally allowing & fish bone TO slip
down the wrong way. Not much Of
romance or comsdy about him either
What either one had to do With the
fanciful combinations Of bleeding hearts
and wretched poetry. or the still more
ridiculous caricatures, miscalled humor

THE EXCISE QUESTION.
Some Important Changes TO BE Madc In
the Raincs Bill.

Some Important Changes TO BE Made In
the Raines Bill.
ALBANY, Feb 14.-Tho Republicans in
the legislature have abandoned their at
tempt TO pass a very high license IN the
state-that IS, unless another change takes
place before next week Instead OF the
$500 in the Raines bill or 81 900, as pro
posed by tho New York Excise Reform as
sociation, it is proposed to charge only
$500 for the highest license.
The assembly committee on excise met
for the purpose Of considering the bill as
revised but were informed that the bill
was not yet ready. The committee imnle-
diately adjourned until next week. Tho
same course was taken by the senate COM
mittoo on taxation and retrcnchment. The
bills introduced in both houses TO amend
the present excise law by providing that
no licenses shall be issued for longer
term than one year and preventing excise
boards from renewing any lioonse until
the existing license has run out is being
rushed through both houses so as to head
OFF the saloon keepers In the large cities
from taking advantage Of the present stat
ute by having their licenses renewed for q
year before their present licenses have run
out, thus making the proposed bill inopor-
ativo for almost two years. Tho most rad-
ical change in the proposed bill that has
been definitely decided upon IS relative 20
the size Of the proposed tax.
The Liquor Dealers association have
been urging that the tax be kept the same
as the present license fee Of 1900 for cities
of the first class The tax originally pro-
posed in the new bin was $500 for cities Of
the same class. It has been decided by the
legislators having the revision of the bill
Ia charge TO split tho difference in the
present and proposed fec thus making tho
highest tax in cities of tho FIRST class $500
and reducing the tax for other localities
in proportionato manner. The amount
Of this tax is just half that suggested by
tho Excise Reform association Of New
York city. The minor amendments to the
original bill will easily number 90.

would not, because OF his eyes, be in
condition 20 fight today and saying that it
would Dc absolutely necessary TO have a
postponoment. Ho said thnt Maher's eyes
had been SO badly infnmcd by sn2d blow
ing In them during his training that he
could scarcely see. Stuart at once set to
work 20 secure postponoment for tho
time necessary TO enable Maher TO get into
condition.
Niahcr came TO tho city soon after His
eyes wero tightly closed, and no wore a
green shade over them. Over tho green
shade was "A travelling cap, with tho visor

showed that the oyehnlls were greatly in

old adobe al Las Cruces. The dust was
so thick when he was going through his
training that visitors complained OF it and
warned Maher against continuing work
in an atmosphere Of dust.

hers eyes said he thought they would be

officer, who looked at the sufferer, said
Maher would not be able 90 entor q ring

Martin Julian and Fltzsimmons were
sent for as soon as Maher was placed in

expressed their sympathy for him and an

give Maher ample timo 20 recover
Notices were therefore posted that the
fight had hcon temporarily postponed.
IL Is believed that Maher will ha IN con

that, however, opinions differ. Some ply
sioians say that be will be able 20 use his
eyes as we'll as ever within three days and
others say IL will be a week at the inside.
Dan Stuart said late last night. II am
willing to stay here a month il these men
want to fight. There will certainly be q
