Fifty-two was the number present. The guest of honor was the Rev. Mr. Holtzapple, of Harrisburg, who came as the personal friend and representative of the Rev. Mr. Curtis, was taken ill on Wednesday. The menu included roast turkey, vegetables, fruit and ice cream and the viands were served in an appetizing manner and pleasing to the taste. Rev. J. Harold Wolf, pastor of Monaghan Church, was toast-master and introduced the speakers, who were as follows: E.W. Shapley, D.W. Beitzel, John N. Logan, Esq., Dr. J.H. Graff, R.B. Nelson, and the Rev. Mr. Holtzapple. The addresses were interesting and interspersed with appropriate anecdotes, which kept the dinners in a good humor. A general spirit of good fellowship prevailed and the talks, which all inclined toward Church attendance, should be seeds sown on fertile ground and result in a number of accessions to the Sabbath School and a larger attendance at the regular church services. Court Refused Five Licenses License Court in York last week was most interesting and it is not over yet. Two road houses near Spry, conducted by William Welsh and Harry Parr, and the hotel at Yocumtown, Eli Ream, applicant, were refused; together with Reigarts’s Cafe and the Franklin House licensee in York city, were turned down. The road houses and York city licenses refused, had strong evidence as to the general misconduct of the places, especially in their relations with the patronage of fast women, who were among the regular customers and created the most disorder. The Rathskeller and a number of other applications in and out of the city will be decided later. One of them is the Delta license for the Auditorium. Judge Wanner has interpreted the law to be that when a sufficient demand is shown for the sale of liquor to a sufficient number of the temperate people of a neighborhood, then a license to sell liquor will be granted regardless of the fitness of the place for a hotel or restaurant. He says the law makes no provision for teetotalers or persons of intemperate habits. S.J. Pressel and family, of Harrisburg, spent Sunday with C.U.S.G. Coulson and family. Lloyd L.
