Many melancholy looking men sat in

uptown hotels last Sunday forenoon and
afternoon. Evening came and the gen.
eral gloom had not vanished. Why this
sOmber, not to say detected, look so
plainly visible in the cOuntenances of

The explanation was simple. The
edict had gone forth that no liquid
refreshments were to be served through
out the day, and the hotel proprietors
had agreed,not to disobey the command
that came straight from headquarters.
But all the same the guests were glum.
A good many persons not guests, but
who often visit hotels on Sundays for
irrigatinS purposes, were just as glum.
BnG there was no relief. Entreaties
and prayers for just a small decOctIon

"I thought that Washington had got
beyond the stage where il was thought
necessary to adopt a code of blue laws
for the regulation Of the public morals, "
said Mr.. MN. .Swearingen,o OF New York,
at Chambetlin's.
However, my experience on last
Sunday has given me an entirely differ
ent conception Ofthe situation at the
Capital. When at dinner IN first-class
hotel on that day my request for glass
of wine was refused. perceived at once
that the liberality had thought existed
here was a myth. 1t seems to me that
no greater mistake could be made than
TO try to enforce Puritanical laws in a
large city. The observance OF them will
be only spasmO1ic at best. Public SEN

minded policy, and iipeOple are TO be

Stephen J. Field, jurist and statesman,
and for "a years a Justice OF the United
States Supreme Court, died in this city
last week.
Justice Field had a remarkable career.
In IS4e he sailed for San Francisco by
way Of Cape Horn, and entered upon
the practice Of the law in that western
metropolis, and took a prominent part

He was a member Of the Electoral
Commission in 1877, and voted with the
Democratic minority. In 1880 he was
given 6s votes for She Presidential
nomination at the Cincinnati Convention
ON the first ballot.
In 1880 he was one Of the principals
in tragedy arising out oitthe famous
suit brought by Sarah Althea Hill Terry
against Senator Sharon, the millionaire.
The outcome OF this case was against
the plaintiff, and engendered in her
feeling OF hatred ol the jurist. This
eliminated in her attempt to chastise the
aged jurist in the dining hall or depot
eating house at Lathrop, Cal railway
junction. Iudge Terry. who had been
her attorney in the suit against Sharon,
and who afterward married her, inter-

The Supreme Court has knocked out
the most ingenious plan of evading the
liquor laws ever devised, the only one
by which liquor could be sold in towns
having no saloon petitions.
NJ Snyder, President Of the First Ma.
tional Bank of Grim II. had liquors
shipped 10 that town in packages. Bills
OF lading in names of fictitious persons
and sight drafts accompanied shipments.
Snyder would sell a bill OF lading to any
person who would pay the draft. The
buyer could 90 to the depot and get the
liquor Snyder was indicted for main.
tanning liquor nuisance, convicted, and
fined.
On appeal the Supreme Court finds
that he was guilty; that although he did
not own the liquors or the building that
contained them, he nevertheless main.
tanned the nuisance. This method oil
getting liquors into dry towns has been
employed extensively and was believed
to clTcumVent the law.
