LIQUOR EVIL IN LIVERPOOL.
Efforts Being Made for Suppression
of Drunkenness in English City
Women Are Affected.

The Liverpool justices have been
criticised since they began, a few
years ago, to make efforts toward the
reduction of drunkenness in the city.
A correspondent of the New York Sun
writes: Their latest condition, laid
down before granting the annual Ii
censes, will cause another storm. The
conditions mainly apply to the serving
of women. They are as follows:
1. 1t is necessary that the strict
est vigilance should be exercised In
serving women at all.
2. That any woman of known bad
character or of drunken habits or
whose appearance is not respectable
should be refused altogether.
3. That when women are served
they shall only be served once and
shall not be allowed to treat each 9TH
er to drinks. =
4. That women shall not be al.
lowed to remain an undue length OF
time upon premises.
5. Licensees shall refuse to supply
LueSS0uSeT huOWI W DO oShI W any
person who has been refused drink
on the premises.
In all new transfer agreements
clause is to be inserted the effect OF
which will be to secure a uniform
minimum charge of 8 cents pin
for ale, beer and stout consumed On
the premises. Four cents is to be tle
price for outdoor trade. Before the
campaign against drunkenness was
started the competition between the
different public house keepers was
very keen. Mild ale was sold at many
bars at 2 cents a pint. For several
years the institution known as the
long pull" was in vogue. This long
pull" meant drop over, and pelole

A "Pipe Dream"

The following dispatch in the Burling.
ton Free Press of last Thursday created
considerable interest throughout La
noble county,
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, March Five men
came to Oyster Bay to. night, climbed
into Colonel Roosevelt's automobile
which was waiting for them at the rail-
way station and were driven to Saga
more Hill. The visitors declined to re.
veal their identity. Colonel Roosevelt
was equally reticent, and refused to see
any one tonight. His visitors left Oys.
ter Bay on late train for New York. In
the morning Colonel Roosevelt went
again to Mineola for jury duty but re-
turned almost at once as his services
were not required. He is to go again to
the courthouse tomorrow. When Col
Roosevelt's visitors returned to the rail
way station from Sycamore Hill, they
said they were from Lamoille county,
Vermont, and that they had come to
Oyster Bay TO tell the colonel that pub.
lie sentiment there was strongly in his
favor.
Now who these five men from Lamoille
county were, nobody "at home" seems
to know. The roll has been called in
several towns and nobody absent, other
than few men at Boston at the auto
mobile show and they declare that they
were not in New York and had not time
to go there. They were giving attention
entirely and exclusively to automobiles.
1t is therefore generally concluded that
this was 'pipe Dream"

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
PETTY GRIMES PUNISHABLE
BY DEATH.
BY A. w. MACY.

In 1906 an English writer
published list of fifty-six
crimes that were punishable by
death in that country. A large
percentage of them were what
are now considered minor Of
lenses; yet upon conviction of
the offenders the judges were
obliged to pass sentence of
death. At one session OF the
Old Bailey court, in London, the
term ending September 4, 1901,
the following convictions were
made: Two men for entering a
dwelling house in the daytime
and stealing a cotton counter
pane; one man for stealing a
linen cloth; two men for burg
larry; one man for stealing a
pair of stockings; another for
stealing six silver spoons; an
other for returning from trans
portation; another for stealing a
horse; another for stealing a
blue coat; two men for stealing
four teaspoons and a gold snuff
box; one man for stealing d
lamb, and another for stealing
two lambs. 1t is not recorded
that all these were hanged, but
some of them undoubtedly were.
Probably the most extraordinary
case on record Is that of an
English boy who was sentenced
to death for polishing a six
pence and trying to pass 1t for
a shilling.

last of the "old guard" of the Vermont
Press Association is gone. He was for
many years the editor of the Bellows
Falls Times and his pen was always
welded for the right, no matter what
the cause. He never lent his paper for
the advocacy of anything that was not
honorable, and his firm and decided po-
sition in that respect won for him high
regard. He was honored by his towns
people by election to many important
positions, among them being Represent
alive and Senator. In whatever position
he was called he served we'll and faith
fully. He gave the people of Windham
county splendid newspaper and when
he retired from active duty in that line a
few years ago, he had the satisfaction of
knowing that his life work had been a
good one and was highly appreciated.
He was looked upon by his fellow editors

Of all the fruits that grow to give sus-

the grape is the most famous A favor
tie subject of the poet, this healthful,
luscious fruit has from the beginning OF
time been celebrated in song and story.
Therefore 1t is pleasure to know that
to the grape we are indebted for some of
the finest foods that go to our table, for
from the grape is derived Royal Grape
Cream of Tartar, the chief ingredient
and active principle of the worldre-
nowned Royal Baking Powder.
While the connection between baking
powder and grapes may seem remote, it
is eyiden. to those who know that cream
of tartar exists in all ripe grapes. from
which it is directly produced in the fol
lowing manner:
Flowing with the juice of the grape
from the press, the cream of tartar grad
ually separates therefrom and settles
upon and adheres to the sides of the
casks. 1t is subsequently, collected,
boiled. and purified with water Crystals
of cream of tartar. white and very pure,
are produced specially refined, and
ground, into an impalpable powder.
This forms the Royal Grape Cream of
Tartar from which Royal Baking Powder
is made. The exclusive employment of
this pure fruit acid has aided in render
ing Royal unique in the baking powder
world, adding, as it does, the delicious
flavor and wholesome properties which
are characteristic of all food made with it.
