II there are any readers Of The News
who care to go into Globe street portions
of Huntington avenue, Joslin treet, Lin
wood avenue, Constitution hill and many
other streets, to get birds eye view of
the Sunday kitchen barroom trade tomor-
row. they can get faint idea of to what
extent the traffic Is carried on. In some
cases the purchaser will be ragged girl,
little more than a baby, who, with a
shawl over her unkempt hair. will carry
pail or pitcher, showing that at her
tender age, she has been ordered by her
father or mother TO do what she knows
Is wrong. But the parents do not care,
and the man that supplies the stuff cares
less. Then, when you see child on an
errand of this kind just call, later in the
day, and, If possible, get into the rear OF
the house from which the child came with
the liquor, and you hear the voices of the
drunken men. But the chances are that
you won't get into the back yard. unless
you arc regular customer. for the man
on watch will announce your presence
and oil will be still.
Then again, call in the evening, or just
before IN midnight, and see those who have
spent their day in kitchen barroom roll
out and in many cases under the very
eye of po liceman.
Call again Monday morning and see
some of the teams Of the leading bottlers
calling for the empty racks. andsthen the
readers of The News will see little of
the reform" that was promised them
when the Goo-Goos "took the wheel.

HUSBAND NOT WANTED.
Wife Asks That He Be Kept Out of
Her House and Store.

Eliza ID. Broadhurst today asked the
Appellate Court to enjoin her husband,
George Broadhurst ifrom visiting her
home at 450 Atwells avenue or the store
conducted by her at the same location.
The hearing was an interesting one and
there was a wide difference of opinion be-
tween witnesses as to who owned the store
and the household furniture.
The petition of Mrs. Broadhurst for an
injunction was based on many alleged
acts Of cruelty on the part of her husband,
which were denied by Mr. Broadhurst.
Mrs. Broadhurst testified that she had
considerable property, including house,
hold furniture lett her by her first hus-
band, DIR. Solomon. She also stated that
the money for the stock in the variety
store was furnished by her.
On cross-examination, Mrs. .Broadhursr
denied that she had ever told the police
that her husband was the proprietor of
the store he had furnished that false
Information himself.
She was positive none of the articles of
household furniture had been paid for by
her husband except two stoves Her hus-
band had not been arrested for liquor
selling. but had got into trouble for hav-
ing boys around who were noisy and the
charge was that of maintaining "A nui-
sance.
In answer to questions by Judge Til
liughast Mrs. Broadhurst said her hus-
band had spit in her face and week ago
kicked her, cutting her nose Her criti-
cisms OF her husband and his ability ito
make money caused considerable amuse-
ment.
Mrs. Willis, sister of Mrs. Broadhurst.
testified that she never saw anything new
about the house after. her sister was mar.
ried, five years ago.
NAttorney Page then said In his blandest
tOnaa stphav had sslift1a hahv did thav
not!"
Yes, was the reply.
Then, said the attorney, You were
not strictly correct In saying there was
nothing new In tho house.
Mr.. Broadhurst testified that he had
bought lace curtains, pictures stoves and
other articles for the house, that he had
not only furnished the brains to run the
business but that he had earned the
money as rubber worker by which the
store was started. He said he was never
harsh to his wife and that she did not
own the estate on the avenue, but that it
belonged to her two children by her first
husband.
Judge Tillinghast asked Mrs. Broad
hurst IL she would consent to have her
husband occupy room IN the house II he
did not in any way interfere with her or
her store. Mrs. BroadhuIt said she was
afraid to have him around His honor
finally continued the hearing a week and
told Broadhurst he might occupy IA room
at his wife's house, but he must not speak
to her unless she spoke first Broadhurst
promised to obey the instructions.
During his examination Broadhurst
was asked by Mrs, Broadhurst's counsel,
Arthur Cushing. II he did not know he
would be arrested 4 Or going TO mis- wife 5
home last night. an exparte injunction bav-
Ing been obtained against his so doing.
His reply was, "Well, II l walked tho
streets l would be arrested too, so L
thought it would not make much differ
ence.

BETTER TIMES.
A Feeling Of Confidence
in Business.
Purchases of Goods Large
in All Sections.
Rains and Cooler Weather in the
West Stimulate the Demand.

New York, Aug 7.-Bradstreet' says;
General trade shows the most pro-
nounced gains in Chicago. st. Louis and
Galveston. The feeling Of confidence that
general business Is To improve in the
early autumn Is marked in these cities.
and purchases of dry goods, clothing,
shoes ana other staples have Increased
heavily, and are followed by disposition
TO crowd prices up. Purchases were Ie-
stricted In Kansas City. Omaha and some
other northwestern points early in :be
week, owing To extreme heat and fears of
damage to the Indian corn crop, but rains
and cooler weather have stimulated de-
mand again.
On the Pacific coast, business is brisk,
the feature in California being heavy
wheat shipments TO San Francisco. in
Portland, Ore, large exports OF lumber,
and in Seattle and Tacoma active demand
Tor supplies for Alaska and Northwest
territory, and for wheat fruit and hops,
are reported.
The movement OF general merchandise
throughout the country Is unquestionably
larger than last week; cotton goods and
woolen industries arc better of. and the
stagnation in iron and steel has given
way to growing inquiry and increasing
output.
But more significant still is the extra
ordinary expansion In bank clearings this
week and last month.
The Increased value of our export trade
In the year ending June 30. 1897 TO
which reference has been frequently
made, is indicated by the statement that
it'amounts to 81. 032, 00l, 900 the largest
like total on record-1.5 per cent larger
than In the previous record year, lo92.
Compared with the year ended June 80,
1896, the gain is 20 per cent.

II a peek into the book of the recording
angel could be had, a good many persons
in Providence would be astonished tn
read some OF the names Of men engaged
In tho policy business in this city.
AT present. they are looked upon as em-
inently respectable in the community,
men who enjoy good income and tako
life like gentlemen. Their income is from
the scant earnings of poor people, who
hope by this alluring means of gambling
To better their condition.
Ihey are not known openly in the
game. That would never do. fog their
reputation for espectability,wouldv vanish
Just os soon as IL became known that
they were concerned in the most misera-
ble Il all gambling games.
They are men who have bank ac-
count with something TO spare II 1t
should be needed. There is no especial
demand for the money and they see n
chance 10 earn something more than
bank interest.
There is no likelihood of their being
known rs policy hackers, SO they send out
a few runners under the direction OF a
chief clerk, who stands as the boss to the
runners. The chief clerk has hend-
quar- ters OF course and these headquarters
are known as policy shops
IL the play should happen TO go against
the clerk and the output be more than
the income, the clerk calls on the respec-
table gentleman who is not known TO be
In the business and he makes good the
loss of the day.
This sort of misfortune to the capitalist
Is of inftequent occurrence.
Ninety-nine times out Of a hundred It
Is the other way and the capitalist adds
TO his bank account every day.

Pawtucket Aug. 7.-Pawtucket Is
studded with places which have been
granted victualling house licenses,
which, according to the privileges that
go with such licenses, permit the
places to remain open on Sundays
At such places any person may enter
and demand that meal be furnished.
but In most instances it would put the
proprietor TO considerable trouble to com
ply with the order.
AS matter Of fact, In many cases, n
victualling house license is simply OBJ
tained as cloak for conducting business
on Sunday.
They ars not actually victualling
houses, but simply stores, where summer
drinks can be secured, and in some in
stances there is reason To believe that the
license is violated by selling lager and
whisky.
