RESTRICTING SALE OF LIQUOR.
Law I'm New South Wales That Has
Produced Good Results.

Consul f. W. Cooling Of Newcastle,
writes that New South Wales has a
liquor law that has been in force only
six months, yet the results have more
than justified the change.
The police have been given increas-
ed powers. In the past they were re-
quired TO prove that the law had been
violated; now the onus of proof rests
upon the hoteikeepers and the Offend
ing persons 1t is an offense to serve
children under the age Of IA with
liquor, or to sell to a youth under 1S
intoxicants to be drank on the prem
ises
The only persons allowed to obtain
liquor during prohibited hours are
travellers and dodgers; even Doctors
certificate is not honored, and one oc-
casionally eating at a hotel can not
be served
The strong feature of the law is
that when a person is found on IL
censed premises during prohibited
hours, he must go before the court
and prove himself to be a traveller or
a regular boarder or submit to a fine.
In some individual instances the law
has worked hardships, but on the
whole there has been less drunken
ness, fewer cases before the courts,
and crime is on the decrease.

WYOMING RICH IN FOSSILS.
Over 500 Pctrified Specimens of AMI
mails Found.

Three big expeditions Of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History ar
rived from the Rocky mountain region
yesterday after several months rough
work, bringing nearly two carloads Of
petrified skeletons of nearly 500 ami
mails, many new to science, some Of
which lived on earth, it is estimated
by the scientists, hundreds Of CEN
turies ago, says a New York dis
patch.
Among the many rare findings were
two dinosaura new to science, one Of
which was Of huge proportions, bear
ing some resemblance to the great
creature known as triceratopa.
The expeditions were conducted
under Professor Henry Fairfield Os-
borne, paleontologist of the museum;
and Of the governments Of the United
States and Canada. The expeditions
covered the Washakie basin in south
ern Wyoming, the Laramie formal on
of eastern central Montana, and the

That gasoline motor cars may be
used on the main line of the Union
Pacific, Oregon Short Line and o. r.
e N. is one of the apparent possibili-
ties of the future.
The experiments with the gasoline
motors in Omaha have been very sue
cessful and the management of the
Hartman lines feels that this form of
motive power will perhaps supplant
the steam engine on many fast runs,
especially in thickly populated Sec
tions where frequent stops are neces-
sary.
The Cheyenne Tribune says of the
motor car development on the east end
Of the Union Pacific:
It is generally conceded in railroad
circles here that in the near future
the McKeen motor cars will he placed
in service on the main line of the
Union Pacific and other Hartman
roads.
Engineers have recently made n
thorough study of the western lines
and the action Of the motor cars over
the mountain grades and they are
unanimous in the opinion that motors
can he used on tha stecpest grades on
the mountain districts in wyoming,
Utah and Nevada and make better
time than the fastest passenger trains
1t is believed here that arrange
mcnts will he made to handle the
trans-continental mails over the Union
Pacific and allied lines with motor
trains ana later handle passenger
trains in the same manner 1t is
pointed out that the motor cars can
be run more cheaply than the steam
trains as we'll as making better time. |
Work has already commenced on
the construction at Omaha of extensive |
shops for the manufacture of the Nc !
Keen motors and experienced railroad |
men are predicting that within few |
years gasoline will take the place of |
steam all over the Hartman system |
in the handling of passenger and mail |
trains at least. Hundreds of these |
cars are to be built, many more than |
will be necessary on the branch lines |
of the Union Pacific.

Child Of the Rockies Becomes
a Princess
a dFrlnCeSS

The Denver Post tells the following
interesting little story of the birth of
marjorie Manners, who is soon to be-
come princess and niece Of King Ed
ward through her marriage to Arthur,
Prince of Connaught.
MISS Manners was born I'm a tent In
the Rocky mountains near Las Vegas.
N. M, and her entrance into the lists
OF the English royal family Is the cul-
mination of pretty life romance.
The Post says:
Out in the wilderness, in tent on
the hillside, Victoria Marjorie Man
ners, the affianced of the nephew Of
the king of England, was born 23
years ago
And that wilderness was out west,
In the shadow of the lofty Rockies,
down In New Mexico, and there are
those who declare they remember the
occasion very we'll
The babe came cooling and crying
into the world. with no idea of the
furore she was to create at distant
date, when a monarch would deign to
NEEDLE In her matrimonial affairs.
Her father was just Captain Man
ners in those days. but he has since
succeeded the earl, John James Rob-
Rutland. And his daughter, little,
blue-eyed Marjorie, Is Lady Marjorie
now and soon to be the bride of Prince
Arthur of Connaught nephew of
King Edward.
In the days when the Manners fam
lily was in America on vacation and
fingered long In the breezy west. II
was as Captain Manners that people
knew the head OF the family. He had
been In the Indian service and was on
a protracted furlough when he sought
out the Hot Springs near Las Vegas
and made his home there. For a time
he stayed at the Montezuma hotel
the original OF the hostelry, which
has since become famed far and wide.
Then up on the hillside they went
with their servants, valet and a
maid and pitched three tents near
the hotel. Here Baby Marjorie was
born one chill autumn night in 1888.
There was great deal of trouble
about getting all the details of the
certification OF birth, because in Eng
land the laws governing the entail
ment OF property require absolute
proof OF parentage. Well, when Mar
jorie was a few weeks old, the Man
ners family packed up their belong
ings and started for the old country,
armed with all manner of proof that
little Marjorie was their very own.
The advent OF the little one was greet
ed with Joy by the friends back In
England In time she has grown into
beautiful young womanhood and has
goodly fortune to her credit. The
wedding of Prince Arthur and the
pretty Lady Marjorie will be an event
In which all England will manifest
due interest.

Captain John Manners during his
stay in Las Vegas. 'He was an aris-
tocrat. all right" Mr.. Wilcox said
this morning, "and so was his wife.
Tall, handsome people. both OF them.
They never said anything about be-
longing to the nobility, but they were
the real thing. Never put on any airs,
either. Used to come down from their
tent to the hotel for dinner and SIT
on the veranda talking afterwards,

played poker and pool together and
often had a cocktail at the bar. He

Tcrrc Hautc Paper Expresses Local
Sentiment.

The complaint of the retail coal
dealers and the jobbers that the rail-
road companies are "holding them
up" with cars, has at last found ex-
preston in verse, says a Terre Haute
paper. Many Terre Haute coal deal
ers have received a copy Of n poem
written for a Pennsylvania coal com
pany and used extensively by 1t as an
advertisement. The local men concur
fully in the lines, which are as follows:
A coal man went to heaven one day,
As sometimes coal men do,
And they gave him n job with prince
ly pay,
OF running a coal train through
To the Kingdom of He'll, with instruc-
tions to haul
From the fiery birthstone bars
All the railroad men whom he could
recall; ..
But they gave him no cars!
So message he sent to the Realm of
He'll. a
For the railroad men to be
on the watch for his train; and he
rang the bell
with a chuckle Of fiendish glee,
And the men lined up as they writhed
in pain
on the fiery brimstone bars,
But when the coal man showed VI
with his train,
MY GOD! HE HAD NO CARS!!
And so through the endless cycle OF
years
The railroad men line up,
With hope dispelled, with groans and
tears
As they drain the bitter cup,
While the coal man makes his run on
time
From the gates of pearl to the fiery
bars,
And the railroad men in anguish
chime,
mo CARS, MY GOD! NO CARs!H
