Exposition Opens Thursday at the Big Convention Hal Men are what they are fed on. This being true it seems probable that the people of this city are going to become pretty near perfect in a short time. That at any rate is the object of the pure food exposition, which opens at Convention Hall on Thurs- day. Mr, Harrison S. Barbour of James I. Barbour & Son, and Mr. Lehland Burdette are the managers of the affair, which is to be given under the auspices of theWhole- sale Grocers’ Association. No better place can be imagined for a big exposition of this character than Convention Hall. The floor | Space available is said to be the largest in | any hall in the country, and exhibitors will be enabled to make their displays without any of the crowding which has been such a drawback on former occasions, There will be a large number of attractive feat- ures at the exposition and if there is any- thing in regard to pure food that cannot be picked up at the hall, the managers would like to be informed of it. Each afternoon at 4 o'clock Miss ae Louise Johnson will lecture on scientifi and artistic cooking. Miss Johnson is well known, socially, in this city, while as the editor of Table Talk her abilities as a con- istent and vigorous fighter against the sway of king dyspepsia are thoroughly ap- preciated. It is expected that Miss John- son's lectures will be the means of bring- ing peace and comfort to many unhappy and discordant households. New methods and apparatus will be described and shown by Miss Johnson and practical exhibitions | given of how a dinner really should be pre- pared and served, ‘The presence at the exposition each after- noon and night of the Marine Band will greatly add to the pleasure of the visitors. Nearly all the floor space has been piockea off, and on Thursday will present an ar. Ustic appearance. Green foliage and Nags” of all colors have been used liberally in decorating. The exhibits also will be of a/ decorative character. The American Cereat Company will have(\ fine exhibition with | a windmill and panorama. Another novelty will be a Ferris wheel in operation, while a miniature brewery will show how the Bartholomay Brewing Company makes tts | beer. An attractive part of the exhibition will be a fine stereopticon exhibition, under the directions of L. A. Roginski, who wiil | also operate a big search light on top of | the building. One night of the exposition is to be picked out and the proceeds given to charity. Other nights and days are to be made distinctive as military night, club night, &c. The exhibits will be of the most varied character, and will thoroughly cover the question of food supply. Among those who will exhibit will be the following: Gill & Son of this city, candies; James L. | Barbour & Son of this city, sundries; ar & Co., Chicago, butterine, soups, & F.

The gauge is 3 feet 6 inches, and the cars are generally eighteen feet long. There are first, second and third classes, and the fares are for several classes—one, two and three sen (cents) a mile, The Japanese are great trav- elers, and more than nine-tenths of the | ! travel is of second and third class. ‘The rate of speed is uniformly about twenty miles an hour. The trains are run on what is known | as the “staff” system, and a train is not allowed to leave a station where it meets another until the conductor has received from the conductor of the other train a symbol called a “staff,” which is his evi- “| dence that he is entitled to leave. In the first-class carriage, which is either one room, like our drawing room cars, or in three compartments, like the isnglish, one finds cushion seats, wash hand bowls and water closets, and generally a tea pot | and cups, the former occasionally repien- ished with hot water. If this is lacking, says the Evening Telegraph, the passenger can buy on the platform at any station a teapot full of tea and a cup for 21-2 cents. The tea pot is pretty enough to bring a quarter in this country, and the cup would be cheap at 10 cents. You buy the whole “ougit,” and could carry it away if you pleased. AS a Tule, the pot and cup are deft in the car, and about W per cent of them are recovered by the vender. The railroads in Japan are partly owned by the government and partly by private stockholders, but the rates and rules of the government roads govern the others also. At all the stations are overhead bridges, and crossing the track at grade is prohib- ited, as in England. The stations are roomy and neat, the platforms ample, and at both ends of the platform the name of the sta- tion is conspicuously posted. ‘The passen- ger shows his ticket on going through the gate to his train, and surrenders it at the gate ‘on leaving. No conductor enters the cars. We also miss the familiar visits of the enterprising young man who sells news- papers and popular books, and who loads our seats at home with lozenges, photo- graph albums, comic periodicals, vegetante ivory, matches, chewing gum and other merchandise. soe Prejudiced Against Comb‘ From the Indianapolis.

He Thinks Much Good Has Been Accomplished by It. ATTORNEY PUGH’S VIEWS. The enactment by Congress of what is known as the high license law wrought many changes in the liquor traffic during the year just ended. Not only did Congress make the license tax heavier, but provision was made for the punishment of its violat- ors, which has, beyond question, made it much harder for violators of the law to carry on their business than it was under the old law. The penalties are increased in proportion to the increase in the license tax, and upon second conviction a sentence of imprisonment is provided. Then, too, the regulations governing the conduct of the business are more stringent, and the saloon has to be left on Sunday so that the interior may be seen from the outside. Liquor selling in drug stores, which was done to a large extent on Sundays, is pre- vented by the new law, and the penalty is So severe that the druggists do not care to take the chances, and consequently those who do not lay in their supply on Saturday are likely to go dry on the Sabbath. The enforcement of this law largely increased the revenue of the District and at the same time reduced the number of drinkiz._, places. Judging from information gleaned from the Police and officials there ure many of the so-called ‘‘speak-easies” in operation, and many proprietors of them have already been detected and punished. Speaking of the manner in which the new law has operated, Judge Kimball told a Star reporter that so far as he had ob- served it was working first-rate. “One of the best things the law has done,” said the judge, “is the cutting off of so many of what were known under the old law as wholesale places and places where beer was sold by the bottle and per- | mitted to be drunk upon the premises. In these places, according to the proof in many of them, the beer was soid at 5 cents a bottle and the purchasers were permitted to drink the beer from the bottle, but were not furnished glasses, “Yes,” he added, “the effect of the law so | far as 1 am able to judge from cases brought to court is certainly good. The law, in ad- dition to imposing a heavier license tax and penalty, enables the police to have better ‘control over the liquor business, The law | not only provides for the punishment of the | Proprietor of a place for violating its pro- visions, but his assistants are also held Ma- ble for aiding and abetting. This provision, 1 think, is a good one, as it will prevent While the proprietor of a place may be willing to violate the law at | times, the fear of punishment on the part ot the bartender may deter him and result | in keeping the place closed. “Then,” the judge added, “the provision of the law providing against the sale of | liquor to minors has had a salutary effect. While I am, of course, unable to state about | the number of such violations, the cases are fewer, and that is ‘avorable, to say the least. During the past few days several boys who were found on the street under the influence of liquor were court, but I was unable to learn from them where they had obtained their liquor.” From the Prosecutor's Point of View. “The act of March 3, 1893, regulating the sale of liquor in this District, on the first | reading, would appear to be the most in- | comprehensible, and, in some respects, con- tradictory enactment that could pass Con- | gress," said Mr. James L, Pugh, jr., the of- ficer of the District, who prosecutes liquor cases in the Police Court, “but when it is carefully read and studied, it is comprehen- | sive, definite, and, in my opinion, a most | salutary jaw. 1c differs in many re- spects from the old law, and is more search- ing and far-reaching and drastic im iis pro- visions, it is really the first enactment which con- fers upon the Commissioners the necessary power to control the liquor traffic in ts District. ‘They are invested with very large powers, |and when the board acts their action is unal, and when a heense is granted the in- eidental regulations which follow are very much enlarged, and the penalties for a vio- lation are of a character that will make any liquor seller w the business hesitafe a long time before he will permit a violation of any of its pro- visions, as the law says in no uncertain | Way that after a second conviction no li- cense shall thereafter be granted to such | person. And another very wise provision is made which will, in a measure, prevent children under the age of sixteen from en- tering any bar room other than a hot and not then in the bar room proper, with- out the consent of a parent or guardian, |and I don’t suppose a parent or guardian will In many cases give such consent. The law throws around the child these neces- sary safeguards for their protection, and | they cannot, as in the case of sale to a} minor, divest themselves of this protection. | “The act further attaches to the license certain things which the saloon keeper can- not do,” Mr. Pugh continued, 1. He cannot sell, give or in any way dispose of liquor toa minor. 2. To an intoxicated person. 3. To an habitual drunkard, 4 To a person who is in the habit of be- coming intoxicated, provided such person's wife, mother or his daughter shall in writ- ing request that the saloon keeper shall not sell to such person. 5, He cannot sell to any one between cer- tain hours and on Sunday. This latter pro- hibition does not apply to a hotel or tavern, provided the sale is made to a bona fide registered guest in their rooms or at their meals. 6. Rar rooms and other places where liq. ts are sold are required to keep closed on Sundays and between certain hours. So it is seen that the act goes into every detail of the business of a Hquor dealer, j and if they will comply with its provisions I cannot see that any one can have any grounds for complaint. “Again, a new departure is made in the | | law in compelling all incorporated clubs to | procure a license, and subjecting them to | the incidental regulations which attach to and follow the license. The new law makes no distinction between such places and an ordinary bar room, so far as the regulations are concerned. They can, however, pro- cure a permit to sell between certain hours, | which must be designated in the permit itself. “Now the new act makes a very matertal and important change in the law in re- spect to the necessary evidence of an un- unlicensed bar. Under the old law it was necessary to show a business, but the new law provides that every bar room shall be licensed, and then prescribes what shall constitute and make the place a bar room. Bvery place where liquor, &c., Is sold to be drunk on the premises ts a bar room under the act, and. in addition, the act makes the Possession of Hquor, with the means and ap- pliances for conducting a business, prima facie evidence of a bar room, and where- ever this evidence is found. a sale is not required in order to convict of the offense of unlicensed bar.” Making Saloon Keepers Careful. “What is there in the law that will make saloonkeepers more careful? queried the reporter. “There are two penalties under the act which, in my opinion, will have more to do with making them careful than anything else,” he replied. ‘“These fines have no effect; a man who does a big business can afford to take the chances, and it looks as though this additional penalty was provided for this latter class. The penalty is that no license shall be grafted to any person who has been convicted twice for violating any of Its provisions; and if one sale is knowing- ly made to a minor, the saloonkeeper for- felts his license, and the excise board can- not grant a license to such person for the period of two years. “It is quite manifest that penalties such as these will deter an ordinary man from violating the law. Bo you see, If the saloon- keepers will permit a little gratuitous advice, they will adhere strictly to the requirements of the new law. “Persons have no idea,” he concluded, “of the number of illicit places in this District. It ts really surprising; but, of course, it is difficult to locate such places and much more difficult to procure evidence to bring the offenders into court. ‘This business 1 attribute to the increase in the license tax, the drastic character of the incidental reg- ulation of licen¥ed places and the passage of the act commonly known as the Soldiers’ Home mile-limit law.” arrested and brought to | 10 desires to remain in | |THE SOCIAL WORLD.| _ Xteus tesansers taeraim Its Real Activity May Be Said to Begin Today.

Houk will not receive this the Kinetograph. | From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. | The Edison phonograph works at this | Place are expected to resume operations | next week. ‘The skilled employes will then | begin turning out a new style of phono- | graph, differing in a number of particulars from the machine now on the market. Thomas A, Edison has devoted himself to the new invention at his laboratory for | some time, shutting himself up night and day, like an old monk in a cloister, as he always does on such occasions. He has been successful, and the new arrangement will not only be sold at a cheaper price than the old machine sells for, but the cyl- inders have been so adjusted that just double the former number of words can be Placed thereon. The old cylinders had a capacity of 100 lines, while the new ones will receive 200 lines. New batteries have been devised which, while much less ex- | pensive, are even more effective than the ones now in use. The new batteries, with the improved cylinders, give to the machine the power of increasing the volume of sound, and also of furnishing double the quantity of matter. Other changes of a technical character have been made in the instrument calculated to improve its ef- fectiveness and to decrease its cost. Another of Mr. Edison's inventions, cal- culated to furnish entertainment to the public, will be put on the market in a short time. This instrument is of the nickel-in- the-slot type of machine, has been called the kinetograph, and is intended to outvie the instantaneous process of photography, by means of the peculiar mechan- ism with “which it is provided, a series of Photographs, about forty to the minute, can be taken. So rapidly does this machine work that every motion of a dancer's feet, every twist or turn of a club swinger's wrists and arms are reproduced. The im- pressions are taken on a long strip of gela- tine film with such rapidity and accuracy that not the faintest motion of the per- forming athlete is missed. It is the inten- tion of the inventor to have the gelatine strips manufactured at some central point, in the same manner as the phonograph cyl- inders. The machines will be sold or rent- ed to parties under the same conditions as prevail with the phonographs. Then the gelatine strips will be inserted, and the weight of a nickel, as {t.drops through the slot, sets the machinery in motion and the photographs are flashed before the gaze of the beholder with such regularity that he seems to see the living subjects. For the édification of a party of sight- seers at the one laboratory Jast week an improvised barber shop was fitted up, and the services of a nearby tonsorial artist were secured. An attendant at the labora- tory took a seat in the chair, and the ma- ¢ was set In motion. The barber lath- his man, and then to shave him in regulation style. While the barber was at work several pretended customers entered, and one showed the barber a bu- morous paragraph in a newspaper. When the strip of gelatine was again passed through the Kinetograph every de- taut of the shave, every motion of the bar- ber's hands, each expressign of the men’s faces were reproduced so perfectly and so well-timed that the spectators could see the scenes repeated in the machine. As yet the new instrument has no com- mercial value, but the parties interested be- Neve that its possibilities as a means of furnishing amusement are unlimited. It is claimed that by the use of this machine all the rounds of a boxing contest, every blow in a prize fight or other contest, can be reproduced, and the whole placed on ex- hibition at a nickel a head. By this means the hundreds of thousands who would wish to see the meeting between Corbett and Mitchell can witness the encounter, coun- terfeited by the kinetograph,on every street corner within a week after the gladiators meet.
