It Was by all odds the deepest snow of the Mason. By noon the precipitation bad In creased by another half Inch. And then the fall ceased. A more picturesque sight could scarcely be Imagined than that which greeted the people of this city as they braced tho fresh breeze of the morning; the ground, under Its thick coat of im maculate white, and the flakes falling In thickest shower, made a pretty picture. The wind had subsided arid the tempera ture had dropped slightly, so the work of art could be more appreciated than It might have been the previous night. It was below soro at 1 a. m. and 1 above at I p. m. Street cars were not running very regu larly early in the day, owing to the snow, and ' they had to proceed with unusua.

REGULATING JHE DRUGGISTS Zlmman Haa New Ordinance Got erning; Sale of Liquor hy Them. . Councilman Zlmman Jias had prepared an ordinunce to cover the sale of milt, vinous and spirituous liquors by 'druggists.

The new ordinance prohibits druggists from displaying or advertising liquors or allowing them to be used on the premises. It 'also confines the sale' to medicinal and mechanical purposes and requires that pat rons Blgn a book In the presence 'of the druggist who shall file with tho Board of Fire and Police commissioners monthly statements of such sales.
