FEATURES OF NEW SALOON LAW.

We give our readers Il brief
summary of the leading features
of the new saloon law. The finan-
cial leaders in the senate and house
have made a calculation to the ef-
feet that putting the Mann bill into
operation will reduce the number
of saloons in the counties and vii
lagos very largely, and vet the
revenue to be yielded 10y the in
crease in the tax will, it Is antici-
pated, show a gain of something
like $4,000 or 100000.
The cardinal provision of the
Mann amendment to the revenue
law Is that where a person desires
to make application for licencc to
sell whiskey he must first secure
the signature of a majority of the
voters of the magisterial district in
which the saloon Is to be located.
The law does not apply to cities
and towns Of oxer 500 inhabitants,
or to watering places and summer
resorts.
The state license Is increased
from 800 and 5000 to $40 and
$3.50, and the tax on members of
social clubs Is increased from 81 to
-, where the membership does not
exceed 1T5, which would make the
tax the same as that paid by the
larger saloons. 1t Is estimated
that there are 1000 saloons in
Virginia. OF these 900 are in the
cities. and LOO in counties and
towns. OF the latter 800 are in
towns of over 500 inhabitants or at
summer resorts.
Another interesting provision
put in the revenue law with refer
ence to the liquor business and not
embraced in the original Mann
bill is Folks amendment. making
1t mandatory upon judges to revoke
the license of any person convicted
of selling liquor on Sunday or to
minors, and subjecting the often
der to fine and Imprisonment.
Under the present law it is OPP
tional with the Judge whether or
not licenses shall be revoked in
such cases.

WHEN YOU TALK.

George Horace Lorimer is

articles for the magazines under
the head of Letters From a Self
made Man to His Son" We pub
fish one letter which seems to
strike 4 good many people we
know:
Dear PierrepOnt-Yours of the
4th has the right ring, and it says
more to the number of words used
than any letter ! have ever re-
ceived from YOU. remember
reading once that some fellows use
language to conceal thought, but
it's been my experience that a
good many more use-it instead of
thought.
a business man ; conversation
should be regulated by fewer and
simpler rules than any other func-
ton of the human animal. They
are:
Have something to say.
Say it.
Stop talking.
Beginning before YOU know
what YOU want to say and keeping
on after YOU have said it lands a
merchant ina lawsuit or the poor
house, and the first is a short cut to
the second. ! maintain n legal de-
partment here, and it costs lot of
money, but it's to keep me from
going to law.
It's all right when YOU are call
ing on girl or talking with frinds
after dinner to run a conversation
like a Sunday schoOlex cursion. with
stops to pick flowers, but in the
office your sentences should be the
shortest distance possible between

The chief engineer has charge Of the en-

Dover that he used this power to promote
the interests of his friends to the detriment
of deserving men. who did not happen to be
fortunate enough to be numbered among
the favored few. Charges to this effect
were made in plain language by Dover
who further asserted that in the matter Of
promotions the greatest injustice was done.
The complaining fireman asserted that he
had been employed In the engine room Of
the department for six years. and that he
held certificate as an engineer. but that
the chief refused steadily to promote him.
He further charged that. although entitled
to leave OF absence. etc. annually, the chief
had allowed him only one day in four
years.
To show the alleged injustice of this
treatment Dover claimed that the chief

Dover also charged that the chief had
purchased defective materials for use in

fireman claimed that the chief clerk of the

mitted suicide at his home, Ills 5th street
northwest, by sending bullet through his
brain about Z 80 O'Clock this morning. The
wounded man was hurried to the Homeo-
patHc Hospital. but he expired shortly
after his arrival. Mr. Sondheimer recent
ly returned from trip to st. Louis where
ne went for the purpose of buying stock.
His health has not been good for several
months and his last trip away from home
did not seem to benefit him. He retired as
usual last night This morning members
OF his family were startled by the report
OF a pistol. which had been fred In his
room. -
Mr.. Sondheimer had not dressed before
nring the fatal shot. His revolver had
dropped on the bed The bullet hid en-
tered the right side of his head and passed
entirely through the brain.
sergeant LYDIA and Policeman Barteman
went TO the house in response to cali
Tor assistance, and summoned the patrol
wagon. Mr.. Sondhetmer was unconscious,
and. though the police regarded his condi-
uon as hopeless they had the wagon
driver urge his horse. and the hospital was
quickly reached. The dying man expired
about ffve minutes after he reached the
hospital and before the surgeons could
probe the wound 1t was seen that the
wound was necessarily fatal and that alb
solutely nothing could be done for the pa
tient A widow and three children are
left by the deceased.
Native Of New York.
Mr.. Sondheimer was about fifty years
Old He came to this city from Williams
burg. N. Y, when he was a boy, and most
OF his life has been spent here.
number of years age he was the pur-
chasing agent for Mr. Bensinger who con-
quoted the horse bazaar on Louisiana ave-
nue.. During his business career in this city
he has sold many horses to the District
government. He was always regarded as
an expert In horsefesh, and his opinion
was frequently sought in transactions Of
importance or where any amount Of money
was involved. He was member of Column
bia Lodge. Independent Order Of the Sons
of Benjamin
What caused him to take his life is a
matter Of conjecture, so far as his friends
typhoid fever last year and afterward had
a relapse. His health has not been good
since his recovery from that attack. 1t IS
also said that he has not been particularly
fortunate In getting the number of good
horses his trade demanded. and his friends
believe this may have affected him. Since
the Spanish and South African wars deal
ers in horses have experienced consider
able trouble, it Is said. In getting good
horses, and it is regarded az probable that
the unfortunate mans business had de-
creased to such an extent as to cause him
great disbursement This some of his
friends suggest, may have caused him
to take his life.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook investigated
the case and gave the necessary death GER
tificate. The body was afterward removed
to the late home of the deceased from
where the funeral will take place.
