ILLEGAL FOR SOCIAL CLUBS TO
DISPENSE LIQUOR IN DRY
TOWNS.
SAYS SUPREME COURT
DECISION OF FREMONT COUNTY
COURT SUSTAINED BY HIGH
EST TRIBUNAL.

Denver.-Temperanc advocates will
find great aid in their fights for the
white flag in decision rendered by
Court Monday (the court sitting en-
banc) that clubs or social organiza-
tions which dispense liquor in fact
sell liquor, the decision being in the
case of Frank Manning ct al, plain
tiffs in error, versus the City of Canon,
defendant in error. The plaintiffs in
error constitute the trustees of the
Elks' club of Canon City. The judg-
ment of the County Court Of Fremont
county was affirmed.
Application may be made, however,
of the decision, so that some of the
large social clubs OF Denver. Pueblo
and other cities. while not having to
close their bars, may be classed as IL
quor selling places and have to take
out regular saloon licenses. But in
dry" towns 1t will mean that all So
cial clubs will have to close their
doors or quit providing for their men,
bers the perquisites that lend the CLAM
our of romance to club life.
Just how far reaching the decision
Is may not be determined until some
effort is made to force the big social
organizations of this and other cities
to pay licenses.
The Canon City case was brought
because the Elks' club furnished liquor
to the members upon request, although
a city ordinance provides that no in
toxicating liquor may be sold or given
away within the limits of the town.
The Elks' club was incorporated be-
cause the members wished to avoid
the ordinance in every way possible.
The trustees claim that the liquor
was not sold and the dispensing of 1t
to members of an incorporated club
was but 1.-The equitable distribution Of
liquors among the common owners"
All the members furnished the funds
with which to buy the liquor in equita-
BILE amounts. But Justice Steele re-
piled to this argument as follows:
MANY of the men do not drink and
certainly there is no equitable dis
tibution OF the liquor itself where
part drink, not only their own share,
but the shares of the others who do
not; but 1t is said that by paying for
what he drinks the drinking members
puts back into the common treasury
the cost of his own Indulgence, and
that although by consumption the d.
vision is not equitable, yet 1t Is made
60 by contribution to the treasury.
which has neither lost nor gained;
consequently the distribution is held
to be equal. The member who drinks
gets his own share and also that of the
man who does not"
1t was claimed that the entire prop
erty Of the club remained intact to
joint use, occupancy and enjoyment Of
all the members. Put the court held
that the board OF trustees in holding
authority. to dispose Of the liquor be-
longing to the club in fact took away
this common ownership and sold the
liquor. The court held that the trans
ferring of absolute property from
holder to consumer constituted sale,
especially as the members contributed
the money to buy the liquor and con-
tinued to pay any shortage that might
occur in keeping up the supply.

America was created Benjamin Frank
lin, who had been appointed postmaster
OF Philadelphia In 1877. was given the
Office in 1853. He visited all the i'm
portant postoffices. Though his reforms
made the Office bring in a clear rev
enue, he was removed by the king in
1TT4. but shortly after was appointed
10 the same office by the Continental
Congress. The first postmaster of the
United States OF America was Samuel
OsgoOd. When he took charge of the
department the country had seventy
five postoffices.
The charge for the delivery Of letters
was based on distances covered and
varied from 6 cents for thirty miles to
% cents for 450 miles. Until 1868, dis
tance was the basis of cost In that
year a uniform rate OF postage ignor-
ing the distance was fixed at 3 cents.
Oct. /, 1888, this was reduced to
cents. During the early days Of Alas
kan development, every letter delivered
in Nome cost the government 81.
Though the use OF adhesive postage
stamps was authorized in 1S47, prepay
ment by stamps was not made compuls-
ory until 1856. A uniform free deliv.
cry system was not instituted until
1863. though the penny post existed in

N. Lacroix, a member OF the French
Academy OF Sciences, read paper be-
fore that learned society on the manu-
facture OF sapphlres. He has discov-
cred practically the composition OF the
precious stone, and has succeeded In
obtaining some specimens which almost
resemble the real stone. 1t can not be
said that " Lacrolx has yet dlscov-

to a severe test.
The climbing perch (Anabas Scan

Gently been received at the London
Geological Gardens, Is an interesting
case of a fish which is able to spend a
considerable time out of its native ele-
ment. The climbing perch is able to
make some progress on land by the
movement of its pectoral and ventral
fms. II is even able to climb trees. and
has been found in a palm tree several
feet from the ground. II is difficult to
get it to display these peculiaritles In

The little black people of Africa, 30
dramatically described by Stanley, are

animals are described as being more
like pigs in their habits than like their
gigantic relatives. A good mud-hole is
quite sufficient for them. They seem to
prefer solitude in their native haunts
going about singly, and when two are
seen in company they almost invariably
consist of mother and her calf.

This first governmental issue Of
stamped envelopes. stamped letter pa
per and adhesive labels or stamps in
England was in 1s40. Three years be-
fore. In 1897. stamped wrappers under
the name Of ''go-frees" had been used
experlmentally and had been recon-
mended 10 the chancellor OF the ex-
chequer for adoption By the govern
ment. In Dundee. a printer named
James Chalmers printed stamps from
ordinary type. washing their backs with
gum. He showed them TO his neigh
bors, but made no public mention Of
them until November. 1887, nine months
after Sir Rowland Hill had drawn the
attention OF the commissioners Of the
postOfiice to the possibilities Of using
such adhesive stamps when people
bought unstamped envelopes to the
postOffice.
The postal system derives its very
name from the posts placed along Ro-
man roads to mark points where courl-
ers took dispatches. But the modern
postal system with its prepaid postage,
with its system Of levying postal trib-
ute on the basis Of weight and not dis
tance. its letter boxes, its delivery OF
parcels and newspapers and money or
ders. dates from Sir Rowland Hill.
The earliest official notice Of postal
service in the American colonies is
found in the records of the general
