NEW LIQUOR. LICENSE LAW.
, Bars to Stay Closed Until 8 O'Clock
• ' —Bottle Goods Restricted.
A despatch from Toronto says:
Two hours taken off the time dur-
ing which liquor may be sold in
hotels and the prohibition of the
sale of bottle goods over the barto
lie taken off the premises, are the
principal amendments proposed in
the Governraent's liquor license
legislation this Year. The bill to
amend was introduced by Hon. W.
J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, in-
to the. Legislature on- Wednesday
evening. It contains four clauses.
Clause 1 seeks to define what is
meant by "tavern license," which
it is declared shall mean a 'license
for 'selling liquor for consumption
only on the licensed premises in
which the liquor is sold.
Clause 2 amends the section ofthe
'act respecting shop licenses. Mr.
Hanna pointed out that in Toronto
a tavern license cost $1,600 a year
and a shop license $1,000. The dif-
ference between taverrj licenses and
shop licenses is carried through in
large cities, but in smaller places
it was the same for either. This
• amendment brings the price of shop
licenses up to tavernlicenses, and
the Brovince takes possession of the
increased revenue. ,
In clause 3 • it is provided that
"any livery stable or other build-
ing to which the public are in the
habit of resorting" is included ug -
der section -60 of the act. This
_makes it possible to prosecute where
liquor is 'found` on such a place, as
the law now applies to boarding-
houses or other plaees maintained
for the accommodation of the pub -
Mamie 4 naakes it illegal for bars
to be opened before 8 o'clock in the

A desnatch' froxn Madrid says;
For the third time in his reign,
Xing Alfonso narrowly escaped on
Sunday being the victim of an An-
archist attempt against his life.
Three shots were fired at the Xing
on Sunday afternoon in the streets
of the capitalby a native of Barce-
lona, Rafael Sanchez Allegro, who
was inainediately overpowered.
King Alfonso owed his to his
own coarage, quickness and skilled
horsemanship. Accompanied by his
-Staff he was riding along the Calle
de .Alcala on the way back from the
ceremony of swearing in the re -
valuta, when a man sprang from the
sidewalk and Seized the bridle of
the Ring's horse with one hand)
presenting a revolver point blank
with the other, The King took in
the situation at a glance, With
• lightning rapidity he dug his apurs
into his horse, which reared Violent-
ly. His quiekness ,saved his life.
The bullet, instead of burying it-
self in the King's brealit, ,etrirek
the horse in the neck, but So close

blackened by the powder dis was
Before the assailant was able to
pull the trigger again a secret ser-
vice man sprang upon him. The
two men fell to the ground locked
in each other's arms, struggling
furiously. • The assassin managed
to free hTh revolver arm 'and fired
two more shots in rapid succession,
but the officer kneckeel his arm
aside and the bullets flew harmless-
ly through the air. At the sound
of the first shot the King's staff
forced their -hex -see on the sidewalk
and made a ring around the assas-
sin, who fought long and fiercely
in the grip of four ,policenien
fore he was overpowered and hand-
cuffed.
King Alfonso, as soon as he saw
that the man had been secured,
raised himself in the stirrups,
turned to the crowd gave a mili-
tary salute and shouted in a ring -
frig voice, "Long Live Spain." He
then disMounted and ieaSsuted his

Canadian Women Have Advantages.
There are, however, reasons why mil
tant methods havo not been introduce
into Canada. Canadian laws are in sev
oral instances ranch more favorable to yo
men than are the lawof Great Britain
For example, in the matter of divorce
ana,dian women are on equal footing
frontage. While Ville is the second high.
est price ever -paid for property in To-
ronto, as far as frontage is concerned,
there has really been several transfers
where the prico per square foot was high-
er. The McConkey property runs clear
through from King to Melinda St. and has,
therefore, a depth above the average.
a The record for high figures in Toronto
d is held by the Michie property at 5 King
street west, which was sold to the Do-
. minion Dana' at the tremendous price of
$205 per square foot.
• In many parts of Ontario a hundred acre
farm may be bought for $5,000. In the
vicinity of the corner of King and Yonge
streets it would buy a plot of land five
feet square.
The price of $205 per square foot ie about
81.50 per square inch. And it can be eas-
ily seen that the job of surveyors who
have to verify lot measurements is to be
done with the nicety of a draftsman.

Pathetic Meeting Between Her and
Her Little Son, Peter.
• • A -despatch from London says 1
Lady Scott arrived hero on Friday
afternoon, travelling overland- viaBrindisi. Brindisi. Nobody awaited her re.
turn more anxiously than her three-
year-old son, Peter. All morning
little Peter played about the house
in- Buckingham Palace road, run-
ning from room, to room, peeping
excitedly through the windows. He
knew his father could not come with •
his mother. Ae few days ago his
grandmother told him t'Daddy''
would not come back this time, but
perhaps would come some other,
time. The meeting of Lady Scott'
and Peter is the greatest event in
his life up to now. The mother
reached' home shortly after three
o'clock. Peter stood on the door-
step ready to meet her. Just a
single hug and kiss and just a few
expressions of supreme delight and
Lady Scott and little Peter' went
upstairs.

A ele6pateh from Toronto says:
Hon. W. j, Hanna introduced into
the Legislature on Thursday a bill
to carry out the recommendations
of the special assessment committee,
which met last fall, These amend-
ments are three in number : (1) The
raising of the exemption on per -
stinal earnings in cities from $1,200
to $1,500; (2) and from 8600 to
$1,200 in tovvna and villages. This
applies. to houeehoiders or the heads
of families. (3) The repeal of the
section proyiding far the special as-
sessinen1 iarin lands in towns
and villages. This will prevent
large vacant areas being held at a
ow ass,e,sment waiting for a rise
in prioe while ithe adjoining proper-

It will deal with eases where the
total•incorne from all ,sources is not
over $400, but if the inoomo exeeeds
that amount, say, $100 on real es-
tate and 8490 from inveStrnents, the
assessment must be levied.
