UPHELD BY COURT
IN RHODE ISLAND
Highest Tribunal There Agrees
With Judge Witt as to
Liquor Selling To-Day.

! On the same day that Judge Witt
Uniformed Mayor Richardson and Major
! Werc>r that the saloons could not
legally open to-day, the Supreme Court
of Rhode Island, answering a COM
munication from Governor Pothier an
nounced that as Monday would be OBJ
served as Christmas Day no liquor
could be sold then If the law provided
for dry conditions on Christmas. The
view taken by Judge Witt, therefore,
is sustained by the Rhode Island Su-
gpreme Court, and it's decision Is of par
ticular interest in view of the wide
diversity of opinion among lawyers on
the same subject mere.
Whenever problem arises in Rhode
Island the officials consult the Cover

the highest court for advice il the
problem relates TO n question of law,

When Judge Witt heard yesterday
what the court had done he said that

spent yesterday the most joyous
Christmas in the history of The insti-
tuition. Besides the holiday menu pro-
vided by the prison management there
was hardly one of the 1,2oO prisoners
who did not get something extra The
unusual feature on the bill of fare
was roast pork, with which the prison
chef took particular pains, and which
was dished out in most liberal por-
tons. Then there were other dishes
not generally served 1T the peniten-
tiary. 1t was topped off with a dessert
of candy, fruits and nuts-the special
present of Superintendent Wood
superintendent Wood made a tour
of the building while the dinner was
in progress, and said last night that
he had never seen the prisoners in
such happy frame of mind. Never
before have they been so literally re-

side. Throughout last week boxes and

Had Dinner in Cells.
Some of the prisoners, especially
those from the country. spurned the
roast pork, for they had laid out in
their cells turkey with cranberry
sauce, cake OF choice varieties, and
almost everything except the wine and
the eSGnog.
There was, however, a lack of the
cam araderie and conviviality for the in
voluntary guests Of the State, though
some of them Jared on food that would
satisfy the most epicurean tastes. Every
man and every woman tasted a dinner
that in itself was all that could be
wished, but they ate alone In their

The Vote Generally

In this county the vote was unex-
pectedly large for certain candidates
and fell off unexpectedly with others.
Gov. Burke's majority was nearly
twice that of two years ago, and
yet it is known that many republi-
cans who voted for Burke two years
ago, declared that they would vote
for Johnson this year. The small
democratic vote registered at the
primary election was swelled to a
heavy vote at the November election,
showing that many democrats eth
er stayed at home or participated in
the republican primaries to vote for
republican candidates.
The republican majority in the
county on the other state candidates,
as indicated by the vote, will run
between $50 and 400. A sample
being the vote for republican and
democratic candidates for secretary
of state Norton, republican, receiv-
ed practically the full party vote,
1896, and Robertson the democratic
candidate, 912. 1t was an election
in which the split ticket predominant.
