ashore Acres" Great Success at the
Academy of Music.

Academy-"Shore Acres"
Bijou-High-class specialties and the
yitagraph.
In the beautiful play Of American home
life, Shore Acres" the story is told in
a delightful vein, with plenty OF quiet hui
NOR and a moral.
There is very little padding In the play,
and the development Is natural and almost
within the probabilities to the fullest ex-
tent The theme is one that could pass
through almost any American family.
The scenes and incidents are so realistic
and homeike that one almost leads hlm-
self 70 believe that they are really taxing
place as the story proceeds.
No startling climaxes are introduced TO
catch the outbursts OF applause that usu-
ally follow each act OF the ordinary piece.
But this is no ordinary piece. IL IS extra
ordinary, and the auditor sits In quiet
fullness OF sympathy at the close OF each
act. feeling for the poor younger brother.
who has 50 sadly misunderstood his
daughter and her lover, and feeling for
the elder brother, who tried so hard TO
make him understand.
"Shore Acres Is companion piece 10
'''The Old Homestead" and IN several In
stances It Is better.
The only sensational feature OF the play
il the introduction, In the third act. Of
the storm-bOund ship upon the dash!ng
waves-a really great scene and one
that Is realistic IN the extreme.
shore Acres will be repeated at the
matinee this afternoon and again to-

RETAIL LIQUOR.

RETAIL IslAtLOh-
Messrs Rosene and Zimmerman. repre-
senting the retail liquor dealers, then
spoke. Mr.. Rosene said that the people
engaged in the liquor trade were as poor
and were suffering as much as members
OF the professions. and did not wish 10 en-
dure greater taxation. There was a less
number of ,eople to the number Of sa-
looms in this city. said he than in any
other city in the State. The question OF
taxation had been considered by the Retail
LIQUOR Dealers Association and they had
decided TO be as generous as possible 70 the
city. and would recommend and be will
ing to be assessed fifty per cent. higher
than at present, liking the tax at SIS in
stead OF $50.
Mr.. Zimmerman said he had not OPP
posed the recommendation of the associa-
ton for a higher tax. although most OF
the dealers were hardly making more
than expenses now. since the heavy war
tax on beer and wines had been in force
He said the clubs organized throughout
the city were doing a large retail liquor
business. enjoying the fruits thereof with
out paying any city licenses, and only a
tax OF one dollar a member 70 the state,
while the retail liquor dealers were pay
ing a heavy license and not being able
10 DO the business tldl the CluDS NtiN
doing.
Having heard reports of the professions
and the liquor dealers. the committee pro-
ceeded to formulate a plan Of assessing
the same. and the following recommenda-
tons, as amendments 10 the city ordi-
nances, were decided upon:
THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
Medical and dental professions to be
taxed as follows Persons practiclng five
years and under $40; from five to ten
years. including tenth year. $40; over ten
years, $780,
The legal profession to be taxed as at
present. /. e.-tirst class, 500; second
class. SO; third. so; fourth. $50; fifth.
$50; sixth, SO
Retail liquor dealers TO be assessed a
uniform tax OF SO. and all clubs selling
liquors to members TO be classed as retail
liquor dealers, and 70 pay the same tax.
The committee also decided 10 recon-
mend an amendment to the present ordi-
nances providing that all persons engaged
in the sale of fish and oysters be re-
quired to take out a license for a period
not less than one year.
The commission adjourned at IL p NJ
