ABLE TO SECURE A LICENSE.
In Superior Court yesterday after
noon argument was resumed in the

dismissed the application for quo war
ranto brought by Attorney-General

Hawkins Company to show in court its
authority to construct a trolley line in

withheld.

the aforesaid town. Strong remon-
strances were made by the w. c. T. u.

nent citizens of Christiana. Harry
Whiteman, who represented the appli-
cant, showed whereia wholesale liquor
dealer was necessary in Christians

town, and that one could only sell
liquor to be sold on the premises. This
was very inconvenient to persons liv'
ing in the country who cared to have
liquor in their homes. He also showed
letters from prominent persons sane
tioning the license. The court though
the license unnecessary and turned thu
application down. William S. Pricket
represented the Law and Order Society
which opposed the granting of the Ii
cense.
Theodore Meter made application
for storekeeper's license at the north
west corner of Fifth and Shiple.

MAY IRWIN SATURDAY NIGHT

MAY IRWIN SATURDAY NIGHT.
Miss May Irwin comes to the Grand
Opera House tomorrow night She has
only to appear on the stage and close
bond Of sympathy is at once establish
ed between the two sides Of the foot
lights. Her joviality and "bonhomie'
are irresistible. She has what so few
women on the stage possess-a keen
sense of humor. And to all these natu-
raj gifts Miss Irwin brings to her
work, however trivial that It may seem
at times, an artistic perception OF the
highest value II Is something more
than mere inspiration that enables q
singer to get as much out OF a simple
little song as Miss Irwin does out OF
any of the coon songs or other little
ditties she renders so charmingly Hel
appearance will be the occasion of 9
crowded house, and the announcement
that she will return for her annual ap
pearance on Saturday night, was th'
signal for a vigorous onslaught by he
numerous admirers at the box officl
for the choicest seats.

She swan a mile in 1:07:17 3-5. The

large for her age, nor does she seem
to have muscles developed to a much
greater extent than other girls as
young as she, but it is the opinion Of
all that If she keeps at the game she
will in time be one Of the greatest fe-
male swimmers in the world. George
Gaidzik lowered another worlds:
