with empty cartr idges. Mr.. Elston,
the vice principal of the High
School had sanctioned this usual
harmless mode OF procedure aud
the youngsters we're quite surprised
when Mr. Rodgers, clerk in the
Bureau Of Public obstruction, ap-
peared upon the scene trembling
with fear or rage, haking the boy
holding the pistol aud endeaYofing
to take the weapon from him. His
attention was called to that Mr..
Elston had permitted the use OF the
pisto! for starting purposes and to
the surprise OF the b0ys Mr.. Rodg-

The proposed measure to increase
the liquor license fees to $4,000 q
year for retail stores and 10 5000 q
year for Wholesale business is alb
suri. We believe that saloon
owner can afford to pay $500 q
year for his license and we believe
that the granting Of the license
should be mandatory aud uureotrict-
ed as to location OF the salocn. We
do not want paternal government
with the power TO say where man
is to do business. Ii man can
afford to pay his license Zee and
afford to pay the rent say of the
Ehlers or May blocks let him get
his license aud 20 ahead with his
business. The present system has
led to corruption and repot.sm only
and should be discouraged at ouce.
At the same time we hardly think it
fair TO "rub" it in on the liquor men
and leave the sugar Gaen unscathed.

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT.
Woman Now Residing Here Is the
Plaintiff,

Attorneys Fish and Lyon, represent
ing Mary j. Humphrey, of Windsor
now residing temporarily in Scranton,
have commenced an action against AL
bert d. Hoadley. a well-to-do man Of
the village of Windsor, to recover $10,
600 damages for breach of promise.
The plaintiff alleges in her complaint
that she resided with the defendant as
housekeeper for a period of twenty
years, and that shortly after taking up
her residence at the defendants house
he promised to marry her. 1t is alleged
that this promise was reiterated from
time to time during the period she re-
sided with the defendant.
In '97 the paintiff alleges she was
practically told to leave the defend
ants house and that another house,
keeper took her place. The plaintiff
holds that she worked for the plaintiff
thinking that he would marry her and
that she would have a home. The re-
fusal of Mr. Hoadley to marry her, she
alleges, justifies her in demanding $l0,-
900. The case will come to trial at the
next term of Supreme court.-Bing-
hamton Herald.
