Cumberland, Md, May 3.-SInce
the beginning of the license year. Nav
|, the number of saloons in Allegheny
county have decreased perhaps 80.
States Attorney Rebbs said there
would be forty less liquor licenses tax
EN- out than last year. Six saloons did
not open Saturday as the result OF re-
monstrances. The business depression
of last year had much to do with the
closing of saloons, but the rule If the
Baltimore and Ohio management that
employees must not drink has had
something to do toward the decrease of
the business. 1t is stated that the tenn
perance agitation IN the mining region
is reponsible for several saloons closing
in the vicinity of Carlos.

Of an open letter to Admiral Count Mon

Italian and Russian fleets combined He
regards the building of thirty-two battle-
ships of 1000 TO 2S 900 tons as absolutely
essential in addition to twelve armored

expenditure of 900, 600 900 kronen, to be

getting ahead of the agencies.
Essentially product of this present
age OF sensational journalism and in
terviews, he was full of enterprise
and resource, an able and graphic
writer who never used padding" and
who gave subeditors no trouble in cutting
down his copy. Cuniffe wrote nothing
that was not good. Whatever he wrote
was of interest. And when there was
nothing of interest he would spend the
day lying in bed. smoking and reading
novels.
At last We turned from the Old Bromp-
ton road, crossed Redcliffe square and en-
tered the long road of substantial semi
detached houses called Radcliffe Gardens.
The neighborhood was emnenty respect
able. for in that thoroughfare lived a
good many stock brokers, city merchants
and several diplomats and army officers.
Near the farther end stood a solitary
constable on the curb on duty befor the
house in question, but attracting no at
tentfon. At present the public was not
fully alive to the full Importance of
what had occurred, and besides the morn

meager and unconvfncing account Of the
mystery. had not given the number Of

The venetian blinds had been drawn up,
so as not to attract any undue attention.
while the constable patrolled up and
down, seldom hating actually before the
house.
As we ascended the steps the front door
was opened to admit us by a man in
plain clothes. who had already recognized
Cunliffe and wished him good morning as
we passed into the hall -
HAS Chief Inspector Morton come

Yes. sir. He is in the back room
