clause limiting the sale OF beers and
wines under this class OF license.
Senator Cory turned the tables on
Senator Gibson Friday afternoon. The
innkeepers license was under discussion

Of maintenance and operation. it has
been well conducted, too. And how shall
the humanitarian work 60 on, unless
as a people we rouse ourselves to the
situation, and do the fair, not TO say
generous thing! May the special chance
to help be matched by special deter
mination to helpl Welcome the solici-

score was a tie for at least eight times
