SODA WATER A NECESSITY.
Decision Recently Rendered by n
New Hampshire Judge.

The consumption of luXuries is accepted
as an index of a nations civilization. What
is for one generation Il luxury is for the
next a necessity. Sugar has long since
passed out OF one class into the other. Now
comes soda water which has at last passed
the border line and become, according to a
learned judge in the state of New Hamp-
shire one of the "necessaries OF life"
Truly we are attaining O high state OF
civilization at this end of the nineteenth
century. In the present instance Concord,
n. H., is the scene of action. druggist
of that city was arrested on June 10 for
selling this beverage. The prohibition
against soda water dates back year, the
drug stores at that time being ordered not
to do business except as required in fill
ing physicians prescriptions. he arrest
on the above date was the first for violat-
ing that order and was a great surprise.
The case came to trial on the following
day. and the defendant was found not
guilty.
The case hinged upon the construction
placed upon the words "necessaries of
life" and the court decided that soda water
could be fairly included as an exception.
THE legal meaning of the word 'neces-
saries.' defined by the courts, is such
things as are proper ana requisite Tor the
sustenance of man and soda water is as
much enc of the necessaries of life and
proper for the sustenance OF man as glass
of milk, a cup of tea, or not coffee, which
are sold openly every Sunday" The court

dant that he felt Ii his duty to, encourage

the famous Bear Cave" on, the mountain
side east of that village yesterday. Many
attempts have been made to explore the

around the crooked rocky way.
After going quarter of mile the
shrill voice of a man cried out to the lads
to stop. The boys hesitated. They could
plainly hear the murmurings of probably
half dozen persons and then, to the sur
prise of the frightened boys, came pistol
shot; then another with the command, and
an OATH to so. Both shots took effect in
young Gray's legs. He was badly wounded.
With the help of his companion he craTied
to the open air and was afterward carried
to the home of Short. The boys wounds
may result fatally. 1t is believed the cave

The festivities were continued until

whole push became involved. The air was
filled with clubs, razors, and pistol shot
added to the variety of the din.
While the excitement was at its height
the police appeared on the scene. The
lights had all been put out, and in the
darkness they had great difficulty in dis
