 "Why?"
 Because he seems to amount to more than the average heiress-hunting foreign noblsman. and because she seems to be a fine girl. He has ap- parentiy money enough to pay his own debts, which Is sufficient to distinguish him. And she does not seem to have Angled to catch him

The new city law, passed last octo- Der, requiring all saloons to close each night at o'clock, has been tested and found to be valid
 Recently the saloon interests of the city conceived the idea of making test of the constitutfonafity of the ordinance. believing that the Ciy Coun- oil had not the right to restrict after licsnsing. so appealed the case of Bar ney Thomas. convicted and punished in the Recorders Court for disposing of liquors after 9 o'clock. The case was passed upon by Judge J. Emmet Wolfe of the Circuit Court. who ae- clared 1t constitutional, and in his opin- ion states that the Council. under the charter of the city. has ample power to regulate any branch of business by ordinance similar to the one which closes the saloons. The saloon inter ests may appeal to the Supreme Court. but it Is hardly possible that such will be done, owing to the expense.
