City Versus Country
,DR. PARKHVRsT FAvoRS
SUNDAY SALOONS xxxxx

A movement which is attracting at
tention throughout the country is
that headed by Judge William Travers
Jerome, recently elected district at
torney Of New York county, favoring
the adoption of more liberal excise
law. The views of Judge Jerome,
which are that the saloons of New
York should be thrown open during
certain hours on Sunday, are heartily
endorsed by some of the most promi-
nent clergymen and laymen in that
city. 1t is the general consensus of
opinion that the enforcement of the
Raines law In many OF the larger cities
In the state, was deprivation to
great class of citizens and in many
cases worked more harm than good.
The measure has in many instances
failed to accomplish the objects which
Its trainers had in mind and 1t is be-
lieved that the Republican majority
now In the legislature would not pro-
pose.
~ A Revision of tho Law.
The provision in the excise law
which gave. birth to the Raines law
hotel has done much to turn public
approval against the measure as a
whole. and in many quarters 1t has
come to be regarded as farce. The
side door evil has also had a demor-
alizing effect not only among police
ofacials, who wink at this fragrant
violation Of the law, but among the
public generally.
Many prominent New Workers, who
have been interviewed on the subject,
are convinced that there is crying
need for a change in the law which
will do away with the evils consequent
upon the closing of saloons on Sunday.
With this end in view it is desired to
bring about conference of men rep
resenting various elements OF social
and business life in New York and
draft measure that could be support
ed by all, naming the hours for Sun
day opening and presenting that
measure for ratification in the legisla-
ture.
A Unique Spectacle.

the general trend of feeling In the
metropolis to be in favor of change.
DR.. Parkhurst says: There are
three reasons why feel like advocat-
ing the opening OF saloons on Sunday.
In the first place, little law, an i'm
perfect law, If enforced, is far better
than an ideal law that is utterly
ignored. The excise law is a case in
point, as everyone understands. In
the second place, it would take out
of the market of crime one of the COM
modities in which the police are at
present dealing and from which Tam
many Hall is deriving much of its rev.
enue. In the third place, it would be
dealing in what l consider would be

Rev. DR.. Rainsford, pastor of st.

Il have been advocating for the last
twelve years that the peculiar condi-
tions of our people Of New York city
make the opening of the saloon on
Sunday.

Several other mechanical contriv-

placed on the market from time to

these sisters are now married.. one be-
ing Mrs. Frank o. Lowden OF Chicago.
Sympathy for the two boys might
have been more marked II 1t had not
been for the known intention of their
mother, made public very shortly after
the publication of the terms of the will,

her own splendid jointure. She made

fkns In their doings before and after
their fathers death that the newspa-
pers of New York and Chicago. not to
speak Of other cities. found the pre-
text for biographical sketches that
were not always complimentary.
One OF the beautiful features of this
strange modern domestic romance has
vpeen the lasting and imperishable af-
fection that has always existed be-
tween the two brothers. When either
one has been In scrape or in any sort
Of ENHANCEMENT the other has invaria-
bly, stood by him. Sanger Pullman
was at his brother Georges bedside
when he passed away. He was never
away from him when he was In trouble.
The first trouble came, perhaps.
while the parents were in Europe,
shortly after the twins had returned
from separate schools in the East.
Young George and his brother Sang
or. handsome as young gods in these
days, became the dual center-piece of
, rapidly moving coterle of young men
Of the town. who spilled champagne by
the bucket. patronized all the first
nights at the theaters. consumed all
the Holsters and Welsh rarebits that
were to be had for money, and in other
ways managed to interest themselves
in the industry Of burning the candle
Of life at both ends.
These, of course. were wild oats Of
the moro trivial sort. The tragedy be-
gan to dnrken when the blessed state
OF matrimony hove into view as a pos
sible solution OF the destiny of the
tYins. 1t was the matrimonial expe-
knce Of both that gave the newspaper
historians their best opportunities, and
that brought to both brothers noto-
riety that either. no doubt. would have
gladly escaped.

The two engagements were an
nounced almost simultaneously. Miss
Lynne Fernald. the daughter of Mrs.
]. w. Fernald of Chicago, plighted her
troth to Sanger Pullman. Within a
few days 1t was announced that George
Pullman, Jr.. was engaged to Miss Fe-
licite Oglesby, a daughter of the form
er governor OF Illinois of that name.
Immediately after the publication Of
the terms OF the Pullman will disin-
heriting the twins. both young ladies
promptly sought release from their re-
spective engagements.
After their disinheritance, the twins
seemed to thrive fairly we'll, though
there was no appreciable diminution of
the fervor With which they sought the
gayeties OF life. Neither seemed to
grieve over the loss OF his fanaee,,
Young George went the pace ~ .of
yore, and the next piece OF news to
startle various communities was to the
effect that he and Miss Fernald had
cloped from hisemother,s summer cot
tage at ElburnsN. j.. where theryoung
lady was an honored guest. The two
were married privately in New York.
and when Sanger heard OF the event
he telegraphsdehis brother his sincere
congratulations.
Not SO long after this Sanger him
self wcs married without parental con-
sent to young woman In California,
and when he arrived in Chicago to
seek his mothers blessing, he was met
by his brother George. who gave him
every assurance of his affection and
support. From that time on Sanger
and his wife have lived happily. 1t
was to the doomed George that the
trouble came.
Very shortly after his brother
Sanger's marriage he resumed a former
friendship with Mrs. Blanche Bowers,
one Of the playmates of his childhood,
and the wife of the composer of sew
eral popular songs. The two were
seen together constantly. George took
Mrs. Bowers to New York. and it was
while living with her at the Gerard

Bowers brought suit for divorce

There is one fish owned by the State
Of Colorado which will, in all proba-
bility. never dangle az the end OF a
line to make sport for some angler. In
stead It VIII subslst peacefully on
ground liver and be petted and cared
for at the Brighton fish hatchery. Of
which +. L. Hagar is superintendent.
For this fish Is the guiding spirit among
all the small fry. and leads them not
only In the paths Of righteousness, but
into the pools where Mr. Hagar de-
sires that they should stay.
The fish at the hatcheries are kept
IN several small pools Ia order that
they may be separated according TO
their kind and cared for properly. Oc-
casionally 1t was desired to clean these
pools or make some alteration in them.
This used to cause a great deal Of
trouble for the superintendent. It was
almost impossible to get all the fish
out OF the pools without killing many
OF them. They were so small that
they could easily slip through the
meshes OF an ordinary net. and many
Of them were crushed in the net. I'M
less the pool was cleaned very often
the FISH would die.
During Mr Hagar's superintendency
be has made an especial pet OF one Of
the largest trout IN the hatcheries.
Whenever he fed the fish this trout
was always among the frst to come to
him. and finally grew 50 daring that it
would snap at pieces Of liver which he
held In his hand. Whenever he ap-
peared on the walks surrounding the
pool this trout would always come 70
him. and as ne walked around the pool
It would follow him. The other fish IN
the pool learned that the big trout al
ways got most of the good things to
eat. and consequently there finally
grew a good-sized procession when
ever the big trout assumed the role oe
leader.
Finally Mr. Hagar had an inspira-
ton One day when he wanted to
clean the pool. which was the big
trouts home. be opened the inlet lead
ing into another pool and got his pro-
cession started by holding out a hand
fnl Of ground liver toward the big
trout which thereunon WAS willing to
follow him anywhere. IN this way
Mr.. Hagar conducted al the dsh into
the other pool without the slightest
difficulty. and without losing any Of
them. Since then whenever he has
wished 70 clean any Of the pools he has
first secured the big front, and then.

dimcuiiy in getting The rest Of the
