There was no second to this mo

council and report what saloon keep

places and given him trouble; that
the parties named be required to

pledge themselves that they will con
duct orderly places on pain of having
their licenses revoked.
This motion was seconded by AL
derman Koehler.
Alderman Meehan said this motion
struck him as senseless. IF there
are any bad places in Cairo we all
know where they are and do not need
any report from the chief" The al
derman contended that the council
had no right to refuse an application
for a license which was accompanied
hy a good and sufficient bond. unless
the applicant had been convicted OF
violating the law This has been
tested in the case of Michaelson, the
pawnbroker.
Alderman Koehler suggested that
the applications be passed upon as
usual and saloon keepers be given to
understand that they must obey all
laws and ordinance governing the
business.
Alderman Scullin objected feelingly
to the criticisms passed upon this city
by outsiders. who had denounced ms

Alderman Snyder moved TO amend
Alderman Scullin's motion so that the
chief shall make his report as to the
character of saloons. TO the commit
tees instead Of to the open council.
This amendment was accepted by
Alderman Seullin and the motion was
adopted.
The mayor stated that this con
cluded the purpose for which the
meeting was called. The proceeding
rad been somewhat unusual. in for
mer years the applications had been
passed upon at the same meeting at
which they were received. but It was

ENGLISH GHOST STORY.
A Vision That Saved Life on the
Yorkshire Dsies.


Yorkshire Daies.
1t is not often that we hear of a
ghost saving mans life. There is,
however. an instance, and it seems to
be tolerably well authenticated. and
materialsts will hardly know how TO
account for it. Here is the story. 1t
is of the Yorkshire dales and of good
many years ago. A clergyman whose
duty lay in that wild country, where
a strong race of men and women lived
principally on bacon and oatcake and
knew not save rarely butchers meat.
used to ride or walk to visit the people.
He had been raising subscription in
time of scarcity and had to be ont
late at night. One evening on his out
ward journey he suddenly became
aware of IL figure moving beside him.
and in the cleaning he recognized his
brother, who had died some time be-
fore. He was too awestruck for
words, and after keeping 10y his side
for some distance over the lonely moor
the figure disappeared. He noted the
time and the vision, but nothing oc-
Cured to throw any light upon it.
However, some years after he had
| taken the duty at a jail in another part
of the country one of the prisoners ly-
| ing under sentence desired to make u
| confession. After telling him of lot
| of crimes he said: Il wor very near
! once taking your life. sir. 1t was In

powders of the brown moor. l saw

should be near enough, but that night
you were not alone" This is 4 star

the vision or whatever it was was seer

The explanation may be something
like this: In Shakespeare's day there
