C. Clubs Cannot bs Licenced. The following editorial on the club license law, taken from the Philadel? phia Times, in such a clear analysis of the difference between private clubs and public houses ?hat it will no doubt prove of interest to our readers, coming as it docs upon the heels of the decidion rn the Columbia Club case : "As the flurry over the decision that clubs must have licenses to keep and use wines aud liquors is passing away and sober common sense views are be i g taken, the-time for considering the subject in its practical form has arrived. Whether liquor is sold or consumed by club members is cf little importance in view of the fact that a club is a private establishment which the public have no right to enter. The license law of this State was designed only for houses of public entertainment. An inn. or tav? ern is a public house open to everybody who behaves himself, and the right to sell liquor in such a house is given only to those who can show that the inn or tavern is a necessity for the recommen? dation of the public. A clob is not a boase of that kind, hence it cannot be said to be necessary for the accommoda? tion of the public. The case, therefore, is what the lawyers call a casus omis sus, an omitted case. No provision being made by law for licensing clubs, no license is necessary. **If the steward of the club permits persons who are not members to buy I wines at the club he vici?tes the law and ean be punisned just as any other person who sells to stranger?. And if any person sets np a place to sell liquor be cannot claim immunity from the law by having a club organization oaiog bis place as its headquarters. His act would be a violation of the law, not an evasion of it. "In most of the States which require dobs to take oot licensee there is no provision of law requiring the club to show that it is a necessity for the accom? modation of the public. Licenses may be obtained at any time by paying the fee, so that the law is more a law for the collection of revenue than to limit or restrain the sale of liquor. The Legislature of this State may require clubs to be licensed, but it has not done so yet, and until it does so we do not anticipate that there will be any trouble with legitimate clubs, while the sham concerns will be prosecuted and broken up." - - ?ni - William Henry Harrison. William Henry Harrison the ninth President of tue United States was j of an old Virginia family, around whose mansion is spread the beautiful estate of Berke?y. In it a signer of the Declaration of Independence had been born, aud again one of the Pres? idents. Harrison was born February 9, 1773. He graduated at Hampden Sid? ney College, and then went to Phila? delphia to study medicine But he w s a born soldier, and when an army was gathered to fight the Indians in the west he immediately joined it. At the ? age of oiueteen he was with Wayne in all his conflicts with the northwestern tribes, where he greatly distinguished himself by his wisdom and bravery. In 1801 he was chosen Governor ofthat immense district now including the States of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The population of this tract was much scattered and exposed to continual attacks from the Indians. For nearly fifteen years he remained in this far west and distant country, watch? ing it settle into peaceful and wonderful prosperity. He was inausurated Chief i Magistrate in March, 1851 ; and per j haps no man sinee Washington has ! received such an cethusiastic and j spontaneous welcome as the hero of j Tippecanoe. For only twenty days did ! li? bear the clamor of ofiico. seekers and J the fatigue of the routine of state bu?i I ness ; then his slight constitution, al I ready undermined by his Webern life, gave way atld just one month after his inauguration he died. He was an hon j est man, a brave general, and a true ! lover of his couutry. The last words j his lips uttered were a wish for the perpetual existence of the Constitution. At. his death he was in bis sixty-ninth year -Detroit. Free Press. - m marj - .???- -^kttMMBm Itch on human and horses and all animals euroli in 30 minutes bj Woolford's Sanjiary Lotion.

We appreciated the fact at the time of buying our Fall stock that COTTON WOULJ BE LOW AND CONSEQUENTLY HONKY SCARCE, so our attention was devoted exclusively to securing onlv BARGAINS IN ALL OUR DEPARTMENTS. Particularly is this the case in our DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT. Space will not permit an enumeration of the many attractions in this line, but close buyers will find it to their interest to give us a call before laying in their Winter supply. Our stock oj CARPETS AND RUGS is large and varied, and should not fail to attract any one need? ing anything in this line. OUR SHOE STOCK is complete in every particular. Remember we are still the sole agents for . P. REED & CO'S FINE KID BUTTON BOOTS FOR LADIES, every pair of which is warranted or money refunded. Now, that the weather is getting cold we must remind .you of our CLOTHING STOCK for you will soon need your Winter suit and overcoat, and if you wish to buy both at what you would expect to pay else? where for the suit alone, our stock is the place to get it Mats! Hats! Mats! Many a man who will read this advertisement is still wearing one of our last Winter ONE DOLLAR HATS, and if he wants another to last him until next Fall, he had better hurry up and get it, for they are going very rapidly. We feel that our GROCERY STOCK needs no comment-our reputation in this line is too well estab? lished. Wc buy our goods from first hands in car lots and sell them at prices that will not admit of cutting by our competitors. In conclusion, we beg to*thank our many friends, particularly THE FARMING ELEMENT, for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, and, as a guarantee to them against The Baits of Competitors, WE WILL MEET ANY PRICE QUOTED them in any department of our store.
