In comparing the license receipts dur
ing the second year of the Thompson
administration with the receipts during
the second year of the Harrington ad-
ministration 1t must be remembered
that the second year of the Harrington
term still has six weeks to run. Dur
ing these six weeks licenses will be col
lected which will bring the total up to
the Thompson figures if, in fact, they
are not exceeded. The big receipts for
licenses are during the months of April
July, October and December. These
months are the ones in which quarters
begin and most of the license collect
ing is done. The receipts for April and
for the balance of March will, without
doubt. bring the total up to the total of

Jack Ledford, who spoiled the face
of a lowlands fairy a few nights ago,
was given preliminary hearing yester-
day before Justice Harrington. who
bound the young man over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $500 bonds,
which the offender could not furnish
on the spot.
Agnes Stevens, the wounded girl was
in court with her black eye and distort-
ed cheek. She carried a handful of
teeth which Ledford knocked out. All
this evidence was introduced. Ruby
Dunbar, a beautiful artificial blonde,
and Charles Traeger of the Little club
were also witnesses, and in due time
the details of the riotous tale were ex-
plicitly told. Jack did not testify, but
he heard what the others said. and it
made him sad. Jack doesn't often feel
blue, but whenever he does 1t breaks
him all up. The Judge fixed the bonds
at 5000 and referred the case to the

THOMPSON.

A very conservative estimate of the
license receipts during the balance of
the Harrington term would be $1,000,
bringing the total up to $66, 4S6.5O. The
difference between the Harrington and
Thompson, totals is explained by the
fact that there are now no receipts
for licensing gambling and that there
are a few less saloons in the city now
than there were at the close of the
Thompson administration. Two sa-
looms would pay as much license as
so business houses paying $12 a year
license.
Estimating the receipts during the
balance of the Harrington administra-
ton at $1,000. the total for the Har-
rington administration is s13265o.50.
The total for the Thompson admins
tration was $780, 24.SO. The difference
in favor of the Thompson term is only
s4T4.30. There was received for gam
bling licenses during the Thompson
term the sum of $9.326.20. Had the same
sum been received for gambling during
the Harrington term, instead of moth
ing at all, the result would be net
increase of the Harrington term of
So, $500.
The insinuation in the Inter Noun
tain that favorites are played in the
matter of collecting licenses is utterly
without foundation. The books of the
! treasurer's office showing the license
paid by each business man are open
for inspection to all. The licenses of
business houses are made on sworn
statements made by the business men
as to the amount of business they do.
If merchant chooses to swear to a
false statement it is almost impossi
BILE to prove that he is not telling the
truth, and that he should in reality pay
greater license than he does.

Rev. DIR. Charles II. Parkhurst, pas
tor OF the Madison Square Presbyterian
church New York, preached to an inn
mense audience in the Central COngre-
gational church, this city, last even
ing. Or. Parkhurst took his text from
Matthew vii. II. Straight is the gate
and narrow is the way which leadeth
unto life eternal"
His sermon was an arraignment of
the style of man, so common i'm these
days, who claims TO be a Christian, yet
confines himself to no particular
church or creed, the man who excuses
the fact that he Is religious tramp
on the ground that tying himself TO
some definite place OF worship would
abridgc his dearly loved liberty. Dr.
Parkhurst said i'm substance: Very
much of what is known today as broad
views upon religious questions is moth
ing more or less than an attempt TO re-
lease ourselves from religious obliga-
tiOns. When | ask man what ms
religious tenets are he will say that all
beliefs seem To contain the truth All
roads he says, lead TO heaven Peri
patetic sanctuary attendance leaves a
man unconnected anywhere. He Is not
narrowed down TO any place or creed
i'm such a way that his liberties are
abridged.
IF a man once a week joins in sing
ing sacred hymns, bows his head in
prayer. and listens TO a sermon, he feels
that he has been a Christian for an
hour and a half at least. Jesus pushed
the matter OF conduct with even more
energy than id Moses. Even the
Pharisee was glad that he was such a
devout man, and almost all men d"
right most of the time except when
there is some temptation to do other
wise" Dr. Parkhurst told a story OF
his experiences i'm getting lost on a
mountain. dwelling i'm particular upon
his delight when he found "A little mar
row footpath. 1T is the same in this
life OF ours" he said. Sooner or later
we come to appreciate the value Of th2
straight and narrow path to heaven.
one of the great disadvantages of a
path that is as broad as IL is long Is
the uncertainty of IL. 1t apparently
leads nowhere"

Recommends That Steps Be Taken 10 Have
The State ReaSset lis Rights.
THE STATEMENT MADE BY Mr.. SHEDD
Best Plan Would Be 10 Build Sea Wall SIX Hundred
Feet Back From HsrhO Lima, and Have
fieY PrOIsci From It,

The committee on harbor held
meeting in the mayors Office yesterday
afternoon, 10 consider a report TO be
presented to The city council and also
resolution directing the city solicitor
TO apply to the General Assembly for
the passage of an act which will enable
the city to secure control Of the tide
flowed lands between the wharf at the
foot of Henderson street ana the rail-
road property at Harbor Junction.
The report calls attention 10 the work
OF the committee and urges that steps
be taken 10 have the state reassert It's
title to the tide-nowed lands and re-
woke the implied license OF the upland
owners 10 hl in. TIE statement of the
leasing OF the wharf property on the
east side of the river by the clyde line
and the prospects of the early estab-
lishment OF line OF steamers between
Providence and Southern ports has cre-
ated feeling OF confidence that with
proper facilities for docking others
might be induced to come here.
j. Herbert Shedd. chairman OF the
harbor commission, stated that the es-
tablshment of the harbOr line is re-
garded as the boundary of the channel
and while there was an implied license
TO fill out, the state did not release con-
troll, even where occupation was au-
thorized Under the act creating the
harbor commission IL was provided
that the filling should be done under
the direction of the harbor commission.
and. In Mr.. Shedd's opinion. the best
thing 30 do would be 10 revoke the acts
establishing the harbor line at this
point. Those OF the owners who have
proceeded with the making OF improve
ments would be entitled TO them. and
such property could only be taken af-
ter the payment of proper compensa-
ton, but II they had not improved the
opportunity to occupy the land II would
revert without any COMPENSATION at all,
although access over the highway TO
the sea must be provided
Mr.. Shedd said that in his opinion. IL
the city went ahead with this matter,
the best. plan would be 90 build sea
wall about 900 feet back from the pres
ent harbor line and from that sea wall
project piers az such intervals as were
demanded by the shipping interests.
The wall should be so arranged as to
retain the nlling behind It. There was
about 60 feet OF mud at that place. and
the depth Of the present channel is %
feet at low water.
The report will be presented TO the
Common Council next Monday night,
and Mayor Baker, city Solicitor Col
well and Chairman Grinnell were in
structed 10 prepare resolution to APP
ply to the legislature for the passag
of an act securing to the city the con-
troll of the land between the points
mentioned.
