Query—“Does not thia line, ‘and if a corner honse such signatures will be required in all cases on both stree's,” change the law, which makes it conditional’ by the use of the words ‘and has no entrance thereon?” Section 4. Quere—The law and rules both GULATIONS. THE New R deny a license to any rerson to ell lianor within 400 feet of a private school house, house of — religious. worship or ‘pubic school houe owned or eceupied by the District of Columbia, Is this in-erpretadion to be literal? Does it mea: what it savs, or does it mean no license will be granted within 400 feet of a private school, house of religious worship or any school houses? The answer to this ix vitally important, as it affects some of th. largest hotels and business houses in the citv, and applies equally to whole- sale and reiail licenses. For instance, within a radins of 400 feet from St. Matthew's Church, corner 15h and H northwest, are the Normandie, Chamberlan’s the Shoreham, Wormley «and Welcker’s hotels, and barely it miskes the lurge grocery stores of Messrs, Bryan and Magruder on New York avenue. Sec. 5. In view of the decision of Judge Miller that as convictions under she old law are wiped out by thg new. shonid that record be con idered as carrying out the terms of the new, which expressly says in section 3, line 4, “has never since the passage of this act been adjudged guilty, & Sec. 5, Art. C.—Under the eaption of thi cection, “No license will be granted,” &c., this section includes the g-euter number of places of business, would they require a license, namely, grocery ‘and provision stores? Most | grocery stores fell liquor and it is impractica- ble to sep them, I would snggest that as this article appeas to apply to bar rooms it should +o state. also think that in view of the increased amouni of license to be paid, the keevers of grocers stores suonid be allowed reasonuble facilities for conducting iheir busi- ness with due regard for the public inverest.

In view of the payment of the i:.@-eased fee, $490. is not the mile limit too sweeping in the councy requiring the signatures of four- fifths of heads of families?

A Test Case as to Its Operation to Be Made by Attorney Pugh. ‘The most important move made against the liquor dealers for a number of yenrs was made this afternoon by Mr. Pugh, the assistayt attor- ney for the District of Columbia who prosecutes | cases before the Police Court in which offenses | against the District laws are charged. As printed in Tue Star several days ago, Mr. Pogo holds that the new liquor law re- pealed the present licenses as well as the regulations, and he therefore holds that all'saioons operating under the old licenses which cover the present year up to November are selling in violation of law or are in the position of having no licenses at ail. In a re- cent opinion of Mr. Thomas on that point he tov a different view of the matter. TO MAKE A TEST CASE. Acting under his idea of the operation of the new law as affecting the old law and licenses ‘Mr. Pugh this afternoon directed the officers of fhe'first preeinet to procure evidence against Henry Busi of No. 421 10th street and he will issue'a warrant against him for keeping an al- Jeged unticensed bar. Mr. Bash bas last year’s license under the old law, which covers this period. and he was | selected for the reason that he represents the | Busch beer company, which is botter able to defend the eave than are many owners of saloons, ‘Tie warrant will probably be issued late this efternoon charging the offense of keeping an unlicensed bar under the newlaw. This case will decide the question at issue and if Mr. Pugh’ Position in the matter is sustained all tie saloon keepers in the city will be brought to the bar of justice unless licenses “under the new law | ure optained. ‘The penalty under the new law isa fine of not less than £250 nor more than $800. ‘The license fee is $400. —————— Interior Department Changes.

A Jealous Wife Destroys Things in Her Hus- | band's Store. Mrs. Kimon Nicolaides, the wife of the | proprietor of the Saratoga emporium on F street near the corner of 12th, turned that establishment into destruction about noon today. She flew into a fit of rage and before rhe could be controlled had destroyed vases and other Japanese articles worth from $1,000 to $1,500. All of the hand-ome and expensive ‘bric-a-brae which adorned the windows of the store were emashed into a thousand pieces and the large piate windows were broken from top to bot- tom. Mra.

Once before she did » simila: thing. but the extent of the damage on the former occasion was not so great. HOW SHE WRECKED THINGS. The affair caused considerable excitement on F street. as it occurred ata time when that thoroughfare was crowded with ladies. The first intimation that any one had was when the front windows fell with a crash on the pavement. A crowd at once collected ant the firsconthe scene found Mcs.

The store was immediazely closed and Officers Nebb and Hodge stationed ontside of it.

Harriet Lane Johnson, Mrs, Smith's taik was on kindergarten meth- | ods and especially on her own efforts in making the foundation of kind-rgartens the subprimary school in the public school ersten of Connecti- cut, Ithas now been in operacion for several years and has passed the —_experi- mental age. Mrs, Smith = hasbeen sixteen years identified with the board of chari- ties in her state, had a numver of appreciative anecdotes to relate and she did it in such a chatty way that she held the attention of her audience to the last minute of the three-quar- ters of an hour she addressed them. MBS. CLEVELAND INTERYSTED, Mrs. Cleveland had the middle seat in the semi-circle of chairs facing Mrs. Smith and was greatly interested. She received quite an ovation from the gathering of ladies present and the meeting between the present and the past mis- tresses of the White House was like that of old friends. Mrs. Walker, wife of Admiral Walker, intro- duced Mrs. Smith. Mrs, Cleveiand has shown a great deal of in- terest in kindergarten schools and her presence ai Miss Barton's, almost her first public appearance ontside of the White House, was in consequence of it. She has been identified with the various charitable endeavors in New York for kindergarien and of course intends to keep up her interest here. Immediately at the clo-e of the iectnre she returned to the White House. The cossume she bad on was a gown and adark blue cloth cape. with # trig round hat and of course an umbrella. ae Where the Responsibility Lies, The announcement made that the civil ser- viee examinations for the departmental service in the different parts of the country would be discontinued after the 2ist instant on account of. lack of funds bas created a good deal of comment. Representative Sayres of Texas is credized with the statement that the reason why the deficiency occurred 1s because the commission failed to ask Congress to appro- priate the money. In talking with Mr. . Roose- Veltof the commission today a Star re] was told that there could be no question where the responsibility of this failure lies and that Congress will have to shoulder the load and not the commussion. Executive document No. 219, Mr. Roosevelt said. has been printed and } is generally available. It 18 a communication | from the commission stating the necessity for this appropriatiowand showing that it would be | unable to perform the duties imposed withont | the additional appropriation asked for.

All of the tobacco is imported from Cuba, | Costa Rica and ‘the states,” for little or noth- | ing can be grown on the sandy soil of the keys and the workmen in the factories are mostly ported too from Cuba, and these Spanish cigar makers are about as poor « class of citi- zens as ever came into our broad land, for with the inherent conservatism of the Spaniard they hoid to the manners and customs and Ianguage of their fathers, and they and their children | are as loyal to the yellow and red flag of Spain as their ancestors in old Spain were.

Then on the northern shore of the key the flag floate over the bar- racks of company —, third United States artil- tillery, who are quariered here as the nucleus of the growing coast defense system, of which this is a link in the chain, and the stalwart artillerymen stroll about the streets during their hours of duty, questioning the bard luck that sent them from the pleasant surroundings of Washington to bake on the lonesome sand beach of Key West.
