Formerly it came only in pale shades and

wrappers and babies cloaks, but now it Is
to be had in dark oolors and even black
and is very warm and light. The chief de-

threads, which have to be picked off by
hand.
Short capes, Or pelerines, for evening

fast asleep and when he awoke he dis
covered that he had spent about an
hour on the porch of a stranger.

TINS makes an average total number
of sales recorded of 2,019 a month. The
average monthly sales reported per
month for each Of the 81 stores would
then be 65.
The sales reported for the month of
July will be filed in the probate court
soon after August 1st-
1t will be noticed that the reported
sales for the month of June were the
smallest of the five preceding months.
1t was not until the first of July that
the new police force went into office,
and during the month of June joints
did a large and fourishing business,
which cut down the number of appli-
cations for liquor at the drug stores.
It is estimated that the reported sales
of the drug stores for the month of
July will foot up a total of at least
g. 900. The joints have been closed par
tially,and those which have Ventured to
run have done so very quietly.
The drinking public therefore, has
flOcked to the drug stores for fluids.

Police Judge Ferry decided that Jane
Davis, cOlored, was guilty of maintain
ing a nuisance in the form of a beer
joint and fined her 500 and sentenced
her to 80 days in the city Jail She is
the woman who kept a small restaurant
and gave a glass of beer with every
meal. Judge Ferry ordered the liquor
spilled. There was one key which had
not been tapped. The Judge and city
attorney went into the jail yard to
watch the work of destruction. Pa
troll Driver Harry Kelly and Sergeant
Owen were entrusted with the duty of
tapping the key officially. Kelly set up
the key and with a hammer drove in
the bung. The beer was warm and
had been shaken up. When the bung
went in the beer shot up several feet
into the air. Sergeant Owen was COW
cred with white foam and looked like
Frank Daniels in Little Puck" after
his key tapping scene. The beer poured
out of the hole like a geyser. Crook
Wright made a dash to secure a lineup
and caught a quart of the liquid He
tried to drink it, but it was too warm
even for Crook.

meeting last night, at which a report

Manager Cannon relative to a wage in
crease The meeting was secret, but it
is authOritatively stated that the commit

of which was that the 10 per cent cut
made in 1898 will be restored. 1t is prob
able that per cent increase will be
made at once and the additional 8 per
cent three or four months later This
action of the company is a result of the
protest entered by the local men through
their committee. They were inspired by
the action of the Louisville &, Nashville
in restoring a cut a short time ago.
