Tho first class snloon Is constantly coming to bo moro liko ntlrng store. Aud tho drug store, by tho wny, Is tiny by day becoming moro liko n saloon. The pe-oplo who merely tnko nn occa sional drink, or drinks, from time to tlmo nnvo but a scant Idea of what tho re sources of a saloon arc. It la not tho lower ulnss of rum shops that Is meant, but thu llrst class drinking resorts In which barkeepers nro. paid salaries half ns largo ns Congressmen nnd can "knock down", twice as much. These pinto gluts nnd marblo palaces hnvo resources that tiro astonishing to u uovlco. In addition to their stock of alcoholic drinkables thoy keep tho wares of tho green giocor, tlto fruiter, tho provislouer, tho butcht.tr nnd tho druggist, Tho supplying of theso incidentals to saloonists has grown to bo n tegular bus iness. Mott of tho things outside the In toxicants they sell nro used in so small quantities thnt It is not worth their whilo to go into the regular markets to buy thc!;o incidentals and bo ulmlf dozen men nnd women make n regulnr business of "huckstering" these things from saloon to saloon. In tho Btimmpr months when the In sidious mlutijultp and its moro robust brother, the Hi rand v smash, nnd other kindred drinks which owe their dell ciousnoss to tho aromatic flavor of crushed mint, aro at the heighth of their cycr-increiislng popularity for the pub lic tialate. tired of tho "new-fancied" .drinks, is turning back to tho more" sim ple drinks of our fathers tho supplying of mint to the saloons is nn industry of itself. A little drlcd-ttp old mau, who lives over in "Virginia, holds the bulk of tho business so far as the better class of saloons Is concercd tho year round. Ho comes over across tho new Free llrldgc into Georgetown eatly in the morning with a basketful of crisp, frush mint, with last night's dew glistening on its datk green leaves, on his arm, carefully protected from tho sun by several layers of damp white cloths. The old man trudges sturdily down tho Avenue until ho reaches one of tho sa loons which is n customer. lie pushes open tho spring doors nnd pipes out, "I'rcsh mintt'1 in a shrill littlo voice. The whlt,c-coalcd bat keeper comes from behind the bar, breaks off n stalk of mint froth ono of the" bunches of a hun dred ur so Stalks pitch, crushes it between his teeth, and if it is satisfactory, as tho old man's mint almost always i. ho buys as many bunches of it us he thinks ho will need for tho dav nnd pays the littlo oui mau ten cunts n tmucii tor it. Hy noon tlto littlo old man has dis posed of his big basketful and starts home. And thoy say that tho old man usually spends all tho money ho lias got for his mint with tho very barkeepeis ho got it front.. And the load ho carries homo is apt to bo as heavy as tho ono he brings over in the morning. Out uorlh of the city is an old Irish woman, a widow, who has her yard and Iter house, too, for that matter, full of slcntUu;, graceful whltcliuntatn chickens. L.; THE KGO-VOMAN. Iyyciy morning '1' old Irish woman gets up before the sun does. Sho goes out in her littlo box of a barn, among her cackling, crowing brood of whlto chickens nnd gathers up tho eggs thoy have laid for her during the night. Small, very whlto eggs they are, just tho size for an egg flip, which is easily spoiled by too largo nn egg, Sho puts them cnrofully Into a basket. eight or ten dozen of them, and after scattering a liberal breakfast of corn on tho ground for her chickens, thnt blio is as fond ot as a mother of her children, tho old Irish woman makes a frugal breakfast o'f eggs and bacon nnd stnrts for a thrco miles' walk to tlto city just about tho time you and I aro getting up. She has her Tegular customers nnd she Svnuld have twice as many If alio had twice as many eggs. For tho barkeep eis like to buy her littlo white eggs on account ot their size. A drink that is Increasing in popularity is a glass of whisky with nn egg in it that people who think they are troubled with dys pepsia, swallow at a gulp. IJut tho egg must bo fresh and small," for a big egg Is too much for a single mouthful. Sho gets llvo or ten cents moro a dozen for her eggs than tho market price is, and sho Is contemplating buying a lot adjoin ing tho one she now lives on, so that sho can keep moiu chickens. There Is a smart Italian whitehead liko eyes and gold rings in his cars who makes a legulni' uusluess of supplying saloons with bananas, pineapples, oranges, lemons, grapes, strawberries, taspberiies and cherries when thoy nro lu season to a lot of the better class of saloons. "TONY" AND THE llVXAS'AS. Old Antonio, or "Tony." as tho bar keepers call him, goes early overv morn ing to thp wholes-uo fruit dealers' places of business, nnd whenever he sees an es pecially line bunch of bananas, or a dozen pineapples that strike his fancy, ho buys them, loads them Into his shaky wagOu, and peddles them from .saloon to saloon. He buys only the finest fruit ho can fiud, nud lots of the saloons wait for him to lay in their daily stock of fruit. T)io barokeepcrs always buy these things themselves and they always aim to get tho best the market alTords. That is why you never bee such fruit on your table as you do In tho saloons. .MunufHtturen.' Nncrllleu Sale. Child's Hults marked down to $1 and 3.50.

Their point that n man should not ho hold responsible, under tho present llccnso rules, for nn offenso committed under tho old rules, as Indicated In yes terday's EvExiKo; Post, was midn by Lawyer Jlnttlngly In Jlr. IMol's case, and Assistant Attorney for tho District Davis Into yesterday handed tho Com missioners his opinion, which sustained tho point. ,Mr. Davis says: "Tho ground fpr ro consideration is, In tnv judgmont, well taken. Tho ollcnso of r. Edel, namely, his having been guilty of selling on Sun day in May, 1SS8, was committed during tho license year ending October HI of that year nnd long anterior to tho promulga tion of tho regulation now In force. Un der tho regulations ns they, existed nt tho time of his oITcnso a siuglo conviction of selling on Sunday would not, unless tho ilno therefor remained unpaid, have sub jected tho offender to the liability of having his llccnso refused for tho suc ceeding year. Tills regulation in oiled gnvo notice to every retail liquor dealer that he might, with impunity, once vio late tho law against selling on Sunday, provided that lie should pay the lino for so doing; nud 1 uin clear thnt it would bo imlust. if not unlawful, afterwards to prescribe that tho very offenso thus In effect connived at by tho District, should operate to deprive tho offender of his business."
