When the state of New Hampshire re pealed the prohibition law and adopted a new statute governing the sale of liquor It waa understood that thereafter a ahrlna to Bacchus might be set up here and there at which a conaumlng thirst might be reason ably asauaged. 'At least this waa the clear Intent of the lawmakers. Fancy their sur prise, therefore, to discover that the new law haa been bo Interpreted as to Introduce a aort of prohibition compared with which the old style waa a liberal license. Ex-Oovernor Ooodell la now clothed with the authority of a Justice of the peaoe. Ha la not only a teetotaler, but one or tnose who believe that because they don't drink no one else should. He finds that under the law it la left to the discretion and Judg ment of the magistrates to determine what persona ahall not be permitted to aecure liquor at the saloons. In Mr. Goodell's Judgment liquor Is bad for anyone, and bo he ha aet out to apply the law aa he thlnka it ahould be enforced. Starting with the town of Hlllaboro he haa presented ita lone saloon keeper with a blacklist which Includes all the voter of the town.

IMPROVERS INA FAMILY ROW Omaha, Tlew flak Haa a Nlee Tielah fcerly Jaagle Over a Street Grade. The Omaha View Improvement club had one of the liveliest sessions of Its history last night. The trouble grew out of the report of the etreet committees, which had been directed to aee If some relief could not be given Mrs. Lyon's property on Maple street, that had been damaged by a fill In tha street to such an extent that her property is badly flooded during heavy rains. The committee, through its chair man, Mr. Olson, reported that arrange ments had been about concluded whereby Mrs. Lyons waa to obtain the relief asked, and had wanted the club to vote on the proposition aa to whether the members favored having the dirt removed from In front of her property. Before the vote waa put Dan Callahan, president of the club, resigned the chair to Vice. President Frank Forbes, stating; that he wished to speak on the proposition. Chairman Olson, of the street committee, charged Mr. Callahan with being opposed to the proposition, and that he had on Mon day last threatened to enjoin the removal of the flirt at thla location aa It would work an Injury to his property, and this started the fun. Mrs. Lyons, the sggrieved party, ac cused Callahan ef double dealing In the matter, and waa aupported In the statement by Olaon and a wordy wrangle ensued. Callahan maintained that his property would be greatly damaged by any attempt to change the grade of the street, and atated that he had already paid over $2,000 to put hla property in shape from former grades on Maple street, which he thought was about hla share and that he could net submit to any further changes In the grade, even though Mrs. Lyons' property waa dam aged. Olson charged Callahan with signing the petition for the former lowering of the grade, and that he had been partly re imbursed for what damagea he had sus tained. This Mr. Callahan Indignately de nted, and then came charges and counter chargea of 'double dealing and unfairness. Compliments were exchanged and It re quired the peaceable offices of several of the members to quiet the matter down. Mr. Callahan left the room with the obser vation that hla relations with the club ended there and forever. The incident had a rather cooling effect on the remainder of the meeting, but the regular order of business was resumed. The club went Into a committee of the whole to discuss the building proposition and It waa finally decided, after some dis cussion, to leave lta further consideration for a special order of business at the meet ing of the club to be held December 18. On that aame evening the annual eleclon ef officers will take place, and it was de cided to hold no meeting on Christmas night The sidewalk committee reported that re pairs had begun on the aldewalk near the brick kiln property. Some desultory talk was had on the park and boulevard ques tion, but nothing definite was decided upon and the club adjourned.

CHRISTIAN GOVERNOR IS PROPOSED Police Force of Coaatry to Carry Oat Reform Plaaa May Be Composed of Mem Xamed by Powers. LONDON, Dec. I. Negotiations began today by the powers rray result in an In ternational administration for Macedonia along the lines observed In tha present gov ernment of the island of Crele. The Asso ciated Press learns that In order to prevent another Macedonia uprising In the spring, attended by unspeakable horrors, and the danger of a war between Turkey and Bul garia aa a consequence, Russia and Aus tria have proposed to the other powera that immediate steps be taken to put Into operation a plnn which, In Its general out lines, resemblea that now enforced In Crete. This proposal is the result of the accept ance, In principle, by the sultan three days ago of tha Russo-Austrlan note concerning reforma in Macedonia, which was submitted to the Porte after the recent conference between Czar Nicholas and Emperor Fran cis Joseph. To what extent each power will participate In the organisation of an inter national gendarmerie, to be formed for tha preservation of order and which power will be placed in supreme command of the gen darmerie, as well aa other details, must be settled by the powera. This proposal of the two powera dissi pates the apprehension which haa prevailed In diplomatic circles on the continent that Russia and Austria were arranging a set tlement of the Macedonian question in a way to Insure their own Interests. Will Protect Moslem Right a.. According to the Information obtained by the Associated Press the powers will this time unite In the appointment of a Chris tian governor of Macedonia. While it Is In tended that tha Christiana shall be pro tected there la also a determination that equal protection ahall be accorded to Mus sulmans. All ,the powers concerned sre anxious to aettle the difficulties In the Bal kans, so that they can no longer menace the peace of Europe. It Is believed that results identical with those obtained In Crete, are likely to follow from the enforcement of a similar policy In Macedonia. At first a large force was aent to Crete, but at present there are not mere than 1,600 men there, representing the governments of Great Britain, France and Italy. How the Russo-Austrian proposal will be received by the powers la not known, aa lta presentation only occurred today. It is be lieved, however, that It will be acceptable to France, Italy and Great Britain, but it Is likely to be opposed by Germany. Though thla. proposed action will be an other step toward the separation of Mace donia and Turkey there la nothing In the proposal to Indicate that the powera have any Intention of weakening Turklah owner ship of the territory. As the sultan ac cepted the principle of the Russo-Austrlan note it follows as a natural consequence that he will not be likely to oppose the re forms which are contemplated. Save This Issae.
