ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME Twenty-Fourth Year. COUNCIL CUTS THE LICENSES DOWN Probably Only 100 Will Be Granted Altogether SCORE REFUSED LAST NIGHT Eighty-nine Were Granted, and There Won't Be a Great Many More- Old Timers Like Stephen Koran In Danger -Gambling Houses and and Tan" Joints Fare Badly Many Refused to Keep Down the Number, or Because of Protests From Churches and Others -Is John J. McDevitt a Resi- dent Now? 176 Licenses applied 122 Licenses Granted. 89 Licenses 19 Referred, probably will be granted Laid over, mostly to be refused later 12 Not formally but practically Other Applications 5 Probable Whole: Number of Licenses. .100 Number Granted Last Year.

.......120 This 'is the record made last night by the Oity Council at its annual meeting to grant liquor licenses for the year commencing July 1, 1901, It means a considerable reduction of the number of saIcons, as it was the retailers, and 1 not the wholesalers, who suffered. The opinion of the Councilmen seems to. be that one hundred licenses, at the datside, are all that should be, granted this year. Last night they granted 80, refused: 19 and practically refused two more, and laid over 14 under circumstances that indicate the refusal of most of them. There are perhaps six of the fourteen that will be certainly granted, and there are four or five applications, which have not yet been received, which will bring the total number of licenses up to 100.

Of these, twelve will be wholesale, 50 that the number of saloons running is likely to be reduced from 108 to 88. A good many saloonkeepers, who probably thought their licenses were sure of renewal, bad narrow escapes last night. Stephen Koran, the best known Hungarian in Dundee and the oldest of his nationality in the business, came within ODe rote of being refused last night. John J. MoDevitt, born in the city and large property owner, was opposed because he has been living in Gardeld since his marriage, some months ago, and was considered a non-resident.

His application was referred to the license committee, which will settle his fate. Others were laid over or refused because they were not well known. Saloonkeepere who were charged during the year with allowing ambling in their places were recused, belt dozen of them, while tme man was refused beea police reported that fights are constantly occurring in his place, although no complaint has ever been made against him. Several Third street places ware weeded out for no other reason than that there are too many saloons on Third street, while the sloon keepers on Monroe street Between First and Fourth, got the axe because they are too near the Slavanian Catholic and Dundee Presbytewin chathes. Two applications were redoned and two others were laid over in a wag that indicates that they will be very lucky to get their keenses renewed.

There was some significance in the fact that Counellmen Welsh and O'Leary were absent from the meeting, and their votes may be counted on to help some of the luckless saloonkeepers out of the hole at the next meeting. It will not be without a fight, though. Several of the members made the comment, after the meeting. that the council did not begin pruning down the list soon enough. They want still fewer saloons.

Many Protests Received A big bunch of protests was read at the opening of the session. The memberw of St. Marie's Slavonian Catholic church and some residents of the neighborhood bad a protest setting forth that there are tool many: saloons in their neigbborhood, and asking that some of them be cut off. The session of the Dundee Preebyterian church, which is only block and a half away, expressed simifar sentiments, and particularized the snloon at the southeast corner of Monroe and Th'rd streets, which is 100 feet from another saloon, and 200 feet from the church, and the one at the northwest cornor of Monroe and Second streets, which 200 feet from another saloon. The protest said that the latter place -was open on Sundays and was a nuisance to church-goers because crowds of men stand there and spit on the sidewalks and ples of beer kegs cumber the s'dewalk.

The clergymen of the city united in a protest against granting 80 many 11- cepses, and the protest of the Epworth league, printed in net night's News, was received and read.

Chester Hickman by Rev. Leonard Stryker -Both Young People Prime Favorites Among a Large Circle. Rose Hanks Perrin was married to S. Chester Hickman at St. John's church last evening by the rector, the Rev.

Leonard W. S. Stryker. A reception to the relatives of the bride and groom and to the bridal party took place immediately afterward at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. M.

E. Perrin, in Lafayette avenue. About 10 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Chester Hickman left amid "local showers" for parts unknown, whence they are to return in a fortnight to reside at Long Branch.

St. John's church, which has been the scene of so many interesting weddings during the last year or so, was filled with an expectant congregation a quarter of an hour before the arrival of the wedding party. Caleb W. Cameron, organist of the church, played continuously' in a tender and subdued vein of music, under cover of. which the murmur of quiet conversation and the smiling recognitions of friends gave human interest enough till the bride should arrive.

Altar, chancel rail and choir screen were covered with palms and daisies, the latter being the chief feature of the decorations. Daisies in huge bunches occupied all points of vantage, and ropes of daisies were festooned along the front of the choir stalls and along the ends of the pews, making willing captives of the spectators. Eight o'clock was the hour announced for the ceremony, but the slight delay, so usual at weddings, caused man and the maid to remain, involuntarily, in blessedness" a quarter of an hour longer than intended. But at length the "Lohengrin" wedding music announced that the fateful moment had arrived. The bride and her attendants were received by the ushers at the Lafayette avenue porch of the church.

Then, turning, the ushers. headed the party, advanced with the slow and stately wedding step to the gates. The ushers were Harry R. Bartlett and Irving D. Kip, who led the procession; Everett Ackerman and Edward C.

It is not a looked compliment to say that she conventional beautiful. Her gown white silk mull with bertha was of of renaissance point. She tulle wore a bridal veil of with a cluster of orange bloss ms over her brow and carried lilies -thevalley. At the right of the choir gates waited the groom with the best man, bis brother, George Hickman. Above within the gates stood the reverend rector, attended by his acolyte, Washington Hart, bearing in his white-gloved hands the white-bounded prayerbook from which the service was to be read and which the bride was afterwards to re ceive as a souvenir.

The lights in the nave of the church were somewhat subdued, throwing the chancel and its interesting episode into relief. The betrothal took place, accord. ing to Episcopal use, at the choir gates. Here Mr. Pretat gave the bride away and in low, clear tones Rose Hanks and Samuel Chester exchanged their plighted troth, "for better, for nor did she fear the promise obey." Turning towards the altar the priest then blessed the ring, and.

bearing it before him on the leaves of the prayerat book, advanced into the sanctuary at whose entrance the espousal took place. This part of the service was most impressive, the church was absolutely still, save for the low chords of the organ, the congregation motionless, while the groom's words of espousal could be d'stinctly heard. Then with solemnity declaring them mian and wife, the rector gave his blessing. The couple then passed from the church, the bride presenting a lovely picture of mingled dignity and sweetness. Calmly, but with eyes modestly downcast she endured the close but friendly ecrutiny of those many glances.

At the house, where an informal family gathering took place, the bride reappeared for a while to the inner circle. In leaving the couple had to run the gauntlet, all rear exits having been locked and placed under guard. Finally they arrived safely in the conch which drove rapid- dy away in the moonlight, the nsual white streamers fluttering from the springs be hind. The bride is niece of the late Chas. G.

Hanks and of the late Edward A. Bradley, D. vicar of St. Agnes' chapel, Trinity parish, New York. The groom is the eldest son of Richard W.

Hickman, a veterinary authority, head of a sub-department of the government servibe at Washington. Mr. Hickman is himself an employee of the Swift Beef Co. at Long Branch. Besides the bridal party and others mentioned above, those present at the reception were: Dr.

One of the things heard at last night's council meeting was that some of the oldest saloonkeepers in town have not applied for renewals of their licenses this year for some reason.
