Mr. Md iarrah said to the witness
that bt was very sorry to see him in
the alderman's office at a witness,
whereupon Hioras replied with much
vigor:
"1 consider It no worse for me to jp
around anil see these things nail
than it is for your clerks to htvo to
stnnd there in yonr stores and tall
goods on Sunday, for fear of being dis
charged, if they refusal to do so; and
1 know what I am talking about, for I
was in the drug business for some
years."
Mr. MrOarrah offered no defense and
admitted that he had sold soda on Sun
day, but claimed that soda was a neres
sity. just as muoh ut dings. Upon this
point Mr. Dony disagreed with him.
Alderman Pott lined Mr Mcliarrah
$1 and costs, as provided for in the act
of 17111.
Mr. MoGtnah announced that h
would appeal from tho decision of thn
alderman.
Fully a dottn prominent druggists

the chances are that each will receive
