WE'RE II CONFERENCE YESTER-
DAY, AND THE Law WILL
BE ENFORCED,
so THE AssEMBLyMAX SAYS.
Up to Date, However, No Formal
Action Has Been Taken by The
Authorities in Charge.

The trouble stirred up for the ad
ministration, and particularly the
mayor and the license inspector, by
Michaud Bros. has not been settled as
yet. The firm informed the mayor
that they had paid the $1,000 which the
law demands for those who sell liquor
in less than five gallon lots and at the
same time handed his honor list of
some ten firms who were doing the
same kind of a business without the
payment Of any license to the city.
The mayor promised to have the matter
investigated, but seen yesterday stated
that there was nothing new in the
case. License Inspector Maloney said
he had notified the wholesalers that if
they continued doing business at re-
tail they would have to take out
licenses. ID to date, however, he had
rot noticed any applications from the
wholesale dealers for licenses.
At the meeting of the assembly COM
mittee on license yesterday afternoon
the resolution introduced by Aid Dix
in January last bObbed up. The reSo-
luton called on the mayor to instruct
the license inspector to have the whole
sale dealers who were selling in less
than five-gallon lots procure a license.
This was the wording of the resolution
as introduced in the assembly by Mr..
Dix nearly a year ago. The same pass
ed the assembly, but in the board of
aldermen was amended so as to read
those selling to other than the retail
trade" The amended resolution came
back from the board of aldermen, but
for some reason was not passed by the
assembly but sent to the license. COM
mittee. When it was reached yesterday
Mr.. Reardon asked that the matter be
referred to him, saying: Il will so and
see the mayor and have the thing at
tended to-" Seen last evening, Mr..
Reardon said he had held conference
with the mayor and his honor had
stated that the law would be enforced.
1t is stated that in addition to the
names of the wholesale dealers who
were selling in amounts less than the
law provides without a license which
were handed the mayor he was also
informed that evidence had been secur-
ed against all of the firms to prove the
charges. About a year ago the stand

How Cleveland Reporter Inter

In Cleveland the other day a reporter
tried the American interview on An
thony Hope, and he tells the story of
his achievements:
1t was before the reception, earlier in the
afternoon, that a Leader reporter had a
few moments conversation with Anthony
Hope. He was sitting in a big chair in his
room at the hotel, a man who looked just
about his actual thirty-four years, rather
tai, stoop-shouldered as a student might

who never seems to sleep, whose voice ac-

natives call the, Bird of the Seven
Throats.
He is neither beautiful nor conspicuous
with his dull, brown plumage; but he is
unique and mysterious. Always heard,
rarely seen, nobody seems certain as to his
parentage or family or even his rightful
name; only this they know, that his cries
are as varied as those of half dozen ordi-
nary birds, hence the legend of his multi
pie throat.
Varied, perhaps, but always plaintive,
often painful. You can hear him now at
midnight, when living thincs are asleep
and ghosts abroad still wailing his mo-
notonous question and answer. And

NEW EPISCOPALIAN CATHEDRAL.

Decembe II, 1892. by Bishop Potter, amid
most impressive ceremonies.
The ground plan of the cathedral is in
the shape of cross, the four arms OF
which are formed by the nave and tran
septs and chancel, with central and side
aisles. The cathedral faces toward the
west, and the glory of the evening sun
fingers on its face.
Its chief dimensions are as follows:
Total length outside, $40 feet; width
across front, 1872 feet; height of front
towers, 24S feet. The central tower, on
which is the spire, is 445 feet from the
ground to the top OF the cross The chan
eel consists of seven aspidal chapels, in
each of which 150 people can comfortably
be seated.
The structure has cost in the neighbor-
hood of $500, 600, and exteriorally and in
teriorally the cathedral can be numbered
among the finest in the world.
The Jews are among the most wealthy
and influential citizens in New York, and
their places of worship are also marvels of
magnificent and substantial architecture.
The Temple Emanu-EI, on Fifth avenue
and East Forty third street, is certainly
one of the handsomest and most costly
synagogues in the country. This struc-
ture was completed in 1868 at cost of
5000, 900. 1t is Moorish in design and in
decoration, with two towers. and faces on

was dreary New Years eve. The
Shadow of the Tomb lay heavily on the
land. Not sound disturbed the unnat-

slum bered; all nature seemed mourning
the old wear, with never welcome for the
new. Suddenly through the darkness atd
oppressive quiet there stirred voice
like a silver chime; from some un-

dropped adown the air as message from
Heaven to Earth. Three notes, clear, eassr.

tling down upon Avele as a pail. Sill

the dreariness of death. Suddenly new
