FROM LICENSES
City Receives Large Income
From This Source Of Revenue.
P0.l.E COMMISSIONS REPORT
Board Informs Governor GaVln OF the
Work Done During the Year With
Enclosures.

Governor Garvin yesterday received the
first annual report of the Providence
police commissioners. accompanied by an
exhaustive enclosure from Chief of Po-
lice Matthews on the work OF the po-
lice during the year.
The report showed that between oct.
and Dec 81 of last year 5O2 licenses
were granted, of which ~ were first
class and 4G0 second class, giving the
..%<- an income OF $4,000 The whole
revenue from licenses from Nov. %. 1901,
to Jan. /. 1908, was $3.50 500. to which is
added Sjl5 from l23 druggist licenses.
I'VE were OF the opinion" says tho
report. that refusal to grant licenses
beyond a given number was responsible
for traffic licenses among dealers. The
board learned that licenses were held as
high as $1,000 each by liquor dealers be-
cause of the fact that now licenses could
not be obtained. This abuse ceased when
IL became known that new license could
be obtained for Aoo. and the city was
benefited financially. In tho opinion of
the board IL would be ifjHdicious To limit
the number of liquor licenses unless the
fee charged was materially increased.
Many cities n New England charge more
than double the maximum fee hXed by
law In this state.
"Thc sale of intoxicating liquors by
druggists was one OF the greatest evils
the board had 10 contend with. The Of
hcers OF the department were instruct
cd 10 keep a sharp lookout for offenders
and violations became less frequent. The

SAYS MRS. EDDY SENT FOR
DENTIST TO CURE TOOTHACHE

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The Rev. DIR
James NJ Buckley, one of the ablest
men in the Methodist pulpit and 70,
long time editor of the Christian
Advocate, is fiercely attacking Chris
ton Science and Mother" Mary Bak-
er Eddy.
In his sermon last night he said:

recently and are traceable to Christian
science. Half of these deaths have
occurred in the last four weeks.

am justified in the statement that Mrs.
Eddy herself does not practice what
she breaches. One instance which has
come within my knowledge is proof OF
this statement.
Mrs. Eddy had the toothache. 1t
is fundamental principle with the
Christian scientists that there is no
such thing as pain, that matter has
no real existence-the mind is all. If
by following out her theories she could
prevent suffering. why is it that she
should not be able to prevent such a
trivial thing as toothache? When
the tooth became troublesome Mrs.
Eddy, despite her advertised beliefs,
was not disposed to deny it's existence
INSTEAD she sent for a dentist and
sent out quickly. When he came she
agreed to be placed under the influence
of an anesthetic while the tooth was

HISTORY ON MANS SKIN.
A Piece Of Artistic Tattooing Re-
veaIed by an Arrest Of the
Paris Police.

A remarkable life story is reported
from Lyons. In consequence of a COM
plant lodged by local butcher, a
young man, of weak and miserable ap-
pearance, was arrested for theft. He
protested that he was innocent of the
charge, and that he had never before
been in the hands of the police, says a
Paris report to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. ''To prove the truth of my
statement" he continued, barring his
breast, ''look at this, and see whether
it would not be easy to establish my
identity"
The young fellow having stripped to
the waist, it was found that his body
was entirely tattooed with historical
scenes, which included the murder Of
the Due de Guise and the death Of Pres
ident Carnot.
The mans life story was as remark
able as the rest. Son of the wife of a
superior offs er in the French army,
and bor1 81. of wedlock at Marseilles,
he was placed by his mother with a
woman in that town, who received go
francs month for some years for his
keep. Afterward he served on several
coasting vessels as cooks boy, where
he met former student of the Beaux-
Arts school, who was also in difficult
ties, and who tattooed his body in a
most artistic manner.

KING EDWARDS HEIGHT.
From This Extract 1t May Be Drawn
That His Majesty II About
Five-FOOt.Six.

Why people should make bets on
matter about which they have no
information, and then ask me to de-
eide them without ascertaining
whether I know any more than they
do, is one of the mysteries of edi-
torial life, says a writer in London
Truth. Here is the latest example CT
this singular practice:
"Sir: I should esteem it a favor if
you will kindly answer in your Truth
columng or privately, what the
height of King Edward VII. is, as two
papers have already been written to-,
and they decidedly disagree, one stat
Ing five feet five and one-half inches.
and the other five feet four inches,
and I shall, therefore, take your
measurement as authentic, ETC."
One might have supposed that his
previous experience would have
shaken this gentleman's confidence in
editorial infallibility. Why did he
not write to the kings tailor? I
have never had occasion to take his
majesty's measure. But if my guess
il to decide the knotty point,
guess five feet seven inches. No
doubt plenty of people will be ready
to correct this off hand; but I do
not believe I can be more than half
an inch out either way. Certainly
both the figures given above are un-
der the mark.
