Dry~ Win the First Round In Confess
for a License

TOT u dtFi~F
The first step in what promises to
be a long drawn out legal tangle over
the license question at Armour was
aiken when the city council met as a
~canvassiag board To recount the bal
lets of Tuesdays election. The raay-'
or's chamber was crowded with inter
ested citizens anxious 10 hear the
councils verdict. When the license
question came up Alderman HansNutt
made a motion to the effect that the
face 81 the returns showing license
had one majority II the votes counted,
il be declared carried Il WAS second
ed by Alderman McKinen. Of the only
dry ward in town. Mayor Moore put
the question and opened il for discus
sion, after which many people of both
leaningS addressed themselves to the
city fathers A motion was made and
carried that they vote by ballot and
when the clerk had counted the votes
he announced a tie. This was antici-
pated by those present. and il then
came ap 10 the a to decide the
point This nc very cleyerly did. and
after making a nice little speech stat
ing hcW h. had gone into consultation
with She states attorney. he holding
that the fun number OF votes east mus.
be taken as the basis for hguring out
the majority. he tthe mayor would
follow cut his instructions and would
cast the deciding vote adversely to tina
motion made. This gives the first
round in the hardest saloon fight wit
messed in Armour to the no-license
people. but il is understood that a
foundation Is being laid for a contest
by the license folks. SO the end is
not vet.

The Admission Goblet.

The Admission branch of-the Dundas
family of England possesses a curious
Venetian goblet, and, like the famous
luck" of Eden Hall, they believe that
their prosperity depends upon its pres
ervation. 1t was given by his mother
to Sir James Dundas in the reign of
Queen Mary, with an injunction to
preserve 1t carefully or misfortunes
would attend the family. 1t once had
a miraculous escape from destruction,
for a very eccentric peeress, who for
some unknown reason owed the family
grudge, concealing her sinister in
tentions, asked to be allowed to see
it, and when 1t was handed to her she
deliberately threw 1t on the ground
Every one present held his breath, ex'
pecting to see it shivered into frag
ments, but strange to say 1t did not
break. and it is still preserved intact

DIED WITH HIS OLD PLAYMATE
Monere Bulldogs Heart Broken at
Companions Demise.

Joseph Friedman tells this to the
New York Press in all seriousness:
in our neighborhood, One Hundred
and Forty-third street and Lenox ave-
nue., an Italian ice and coal peddler
lost an aged horse, whose constant
companion and playmate was small
mongrel bulldog A few hours after
the horse died we noticed that the dog
began to look dopey He just moped
around, apparently having lost in
terest in life. We saw him go to the
old horse, stretch his body across the
latter's neck, and die there. The nu-
merous drivers who congregate around
this point, all rough, but good natured
fellows, noticed the positions of the
two dead animals, and many head
was suddenly turned the other way.
There were peculiar fits of coughing,
and some of the boys were rubbing
their cheeks with the backs of their
hands. in lieu of handkerchiefs. Some
cursed at their teams and disappeared
as quickly as possible. l honestly be-
lieve that poor little mongrel died of a
broken heart"
