sob, ack," she said, "here is some
news for you which / am afraid will
not be very welcome. Ethel is en-.
gagged to Mr.. Bowley."
"Poor Jack, added my odious sis-
ter Mary.
"Why do you sny Poor jack in
that pitying way?" [ demanded, with
reasonable irritation. "If you had
said Poor Ethel, it would have been
moro to the point"
"Because you look SO green over
it," retortei Mary. Mary certainly
has the vulgarest way OF talking Of
any girl know.
[ turned upon her look of lofty
and dignified reproof. But l did NOT
attempt to reason with her. Reason
and sound sense would have been
quite wasted on Mary. She had o
moral twist in her which was past rec
titication.
OF course, the news was shock.
Ethel Rawlins had sunk lower than I
should have thought possible. 1t was
q sad, pitiable decline. / was deeply
disappointed in her. l sold the ring
to jeweler for twenty guineas. The
verses went to magazine, and fetched
one guinea more. They were memen-
toes of my disgust at Ethel's fall. I
was glad to get rid OF them at any
price.

For 1886 they reach slo,S3o3 39 a. an increase Of
s6l6.379 OF.
Mr.. Mullin explained that part Of this increase
due to the Raires Liquor Tax law. The sum
Of S50.cW was appropriated for the support OF the
State Excise Department for the year beginning
on October T. 1896. The Supply bill will $50 600
for the Excise Commissioner for his expenses from

had been awarded TO the Adirondack Survey. $50 900
additional to the Superintendent of Buildings for
the maintenance OF the Capitol and other public
buildings in Albany and $1,000 additional for the
National Guard.
Senator Grady asked If the Finance Committee
had acted on his bill appropriat'1g $4,000 for
State grain elevators and he told by Senator
Mullin that the committee had decided not to re-
port It, Mr. Grady declared that as soon as there
was full attendance Of senators he would move

tion Of the bill

Senator Bracket gave notice that II the bill In
creased any powers of the Racing Commission he
would oppose 1t to the utmost because of the small

derscored and that reprinting necessary.
Mr.. Adier's bill relating TO the payment OF cleo
ton officers in New-York city was passed
Among the bills reported favorably in the Senate
to-day were the following: The New-York CITY
RAPID Transit Commission amendments TO the

could be enforced.
"It &c certain that no arbitrary rule can be made.
he said Chief OF Police Con.in cannot decree mat

A GREATER NEW YORK BILL THAT GIVES RISE

Albany. April (SpeciaD.-Assemblyman H. T.

relation TO Greater New-York, which has excited
general curiosity He says he presented 1t for the

and the veto IL sustained by the Legislature.
Mr.. Andrews's BILL in view OF this explanation IS
Interesting from the fact that II grants referendum
on the charter. That privilege has hitherto been
refused to Brooklyn by Thomas c. Platt and the
other Republican bosses. Can II be that Piatt has

AN OPINION ON THE RAINES LAW.
THE DISTRICT-ATTOR OF ROCHESTER
THINKS 1T is NOT OPERATIVE UNTIL


Rochester n. Y. April 3-The Police Commission
ers last Monday addressed letter of inquiry to
District-Attorney Forsyth the Interpretation
he put certain portions OF the Ranes Liquor Tax
law They sought information three points,
namely. whether the Jaw in force to the
sale OF liquor 10y women or girls not members Of
the dealers family; the abolition Of screens.
shades. etc. during the close hours and Sunday and
the prohibition Of free lunches Mr.. Forsyth's reply
Is long. lie takes ground radically different from
that occupied by officials in other portions Of the
State. He believes that these provisions of the law
are not in force until April 30, because until that
time there is machinery in operation under the
law by which dealer can procure permit to sell.
by which violations Of the act can be punished.
He is inclined TO think that II not the intention
of the Legislature to enforce act making such
sweeping changes until the people most affected had
had opportunity to adjust their affairs to the
changed conditions For these reasons District-At-
torney Forsyth sets the time when the Ranes Law
becomes fully operative April 30. and indicates
that after that date the office under his charge VIII

authorities and the Excise Commissioner and MS
