QUART SHOP CASES.
Appellate Court sustains the Law of
1897.

The Appellate Court decided the two
''quart-shop' cases before it yesterday.
Both were against George Buskirk, of Craw-
louisville, and were test cases brought by
the State. The two decisions taken together
mean that the law of 1897 forbidding a deal
err to sell in quantities less than five gal
Ions without county retail license. is valid.
but that in order to convict under the law
the State must prove a specific sale in such
quantities. 1t is not sufficient to prove that
the dealer has not d license and that he
does q general retail business. Buskirk had
been fined in the lower court upon two
charges one charging a specific sale of liz
uor in less quantity than five gallons with
out a county license. This judgment the APP
pellate Court affirmed. The other fine was
imposed upon a general charge of selling
liquor in less than five-gallon lots without a
county license. This judgment was re-

War ON the Anti-scaIping BIZ.

There is open war over the anti-scalping
bill now before Congress between the Amer
lean Ticket Brokers' Association and the
National Association of Merchants and
Travellers a commercial organization whose
officers and executive committee are located
in Chicago, and which has something over
two thousand members in various places
throughout the West and Northwest. The
merchants and travellers, some time ago
passed a resolution urging upon Congress
the passage of the bill prohibiting the scalp
ing of railroad tickets. Recently the Mer-
chants and Travellers Association was in
formed pamphlet signed George NJ Nc
Kenzie, for the American Ticket Brokers
Association had been sent to all members
of Congress, stating that, such resolution
was passed by the Merchants and Travel
ers' Association and that the announcement
that such a resolution had been passed
ganization assembled in a star chamber
session. 1t was further declared that the
resolution came from few Chicago job
roads by which the roads were to give to
interior Jobbers low rate to the Chicago
market If the large Chicago jobbers would
assist the roads to secure the passage OF
the anti-scalping law. The pamphlet al
leges that the officers of the Merchants and
Travellers Association have betrayed their
trust and have done in secret what they
never would dare attempt openly. The Off

citation were reused to white heat when they
learned of the charges made against them in

message to Senator Cullom and Congress-
man w. p. Hepburn, chairmen, respectively,
OF the Senate and House committees on in
terstate commerce, saying that every asser-
ton contained in the pamphlet, so far as
it refers to any fraudulent action by the Ma

ers, Is absolutely false" They reaffirm their
opposition to ticket scaping, and declare

rott, of the firm of Perrott & German
money lenders. 1t sets forth that he loaned
Mrs. Hall $221.S5 on household goods, and
that she made affidavit that there were no

there was another chattel mortgage. Mr..

goods last January and made aff1dav1t to
him that they were free. Perrott also says
that a part of the goods mortgaged do not
belong to Mrs. Hall.

"AmericanS Abroad"

The following complimentary
notice Of the Stark & Tolson' S

vile Sun:
"Again Stark & Tolson's Come
dians delighted the people Of
Gainesville with one of their per-
formances at Edwards Opera
House last night. The rlay Sc
lected for this occasion was
"Americans Abroad" The at
tendance was very large. The
performance Of the night before
gave a fair demonstration of the
quality of the performance, and
we can add but little by what we
might say to the excellence of the
play. The part of Sydney Nor
cott, the galley slave, was well
represented by that old favorite,
Charles ToisOn, who never fails
TO please, and he was well secon-
ded by Theo Stark, who in his
own inimitable fashion, took off
the part of Franklin Fits, an
American tourist. Ciceiy Blain,
an American heircss, was we'll
impersonated by Mss Lorena
Graves, while Phoebe Gay. by
Miss Lillian Stein, and Psyche,
her daughter, by Miss Ella Bel
DIM, could not have been per-
formed better. Charles Brewer.
as DR.. Oliphant, was immense,
and Messrs. Chas. Z. White and
G.. H. Robinson handled their
parts with ease and pleasure to
the audience. Miss Ogarita, the
emotional actress, took the char
acter Of Francisco to perfection,
and only added new laurels to her
already we'll filed list of con-
quests. Theo Stark delighted the
audience with q few select songs,
causing no small amount of pleas
ure. Miss Beldini, in her skirt
dance, was all that could be de-
sired, and it seemed as though
the audience could not be salts
fed"
This company will play all Of
next week at the Marion Opera
House, beginning Monday night,
