Why u License was Refused to Ger

New York sun.

New York Sun.
Gervasio Perez, Spaniard, who has for
several years been engaged in the business
of soliciting patronage for Spanish hotel
in this city, was recently refused license
by the mayor solely upon the ground that
he was not an American citizen. Chapter
1853 of the law of 1880 provides that such
license can issue only to an American
citizen of good moral character" Engaging
in such business without license is q mis-
demeanor, punishable by imprisonment as
well as fine. Mr.. Perez had in 1877 de-
clared his intention of becoming citi-
zen. A motion for u mandamus to
compel the issue of u license to
him was made before Judge Cullen, in
Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday Mr..
George w. Wingate argued on behalf of the
relatOr that, as an alien who has declared
his intention to become citizen can hold
real estate, and was subject to the draft
during the war, so the words American
citizen" in this law should be construed to
include such man, though he had not by
lapse of time yet become entitled to his'cer-
tifcate of naturalization. Otherwise the
clause violated the Federal and State Con-
situations, and the fourteenth amendment
of the former, by arbitrarily depriving the
plaintiff of his property, and by denying
him the equal protection of the law. The
State, Gen. Wingate said could not deny
any person not citizen the right to estab-
lish or continue lawful business. The
right to labor was property, and the law
which prohibited the relator from continu-
ing the business which he had built up
deprived him of his most valuable prop
crty. If the relator could be prevented
from continuing his occupation because he
was not citizen, Others might be pre-
vented from continuing similar or other &C.
equations because they were Irishmen or
Germans, or perhaps even native born. Gen.
Wingate also argued that the statute in
question was unconstitutional as q violation
Of the clauses in the treaty with Spain in
regard to freedom of commerce between the
two nations.
Assistant Corporation Counsel j. A. Beall
said that the mayor had no alternative but
to refuse the license, and that his action
could not be reviewed
Judge Cullen reserved his decision, re-
marking that the law was very narrow
one, and that he thought it should be con-
strued literally.

KATE sPRAGUE,s SORROW.
The Former Mistress of Canonchet
Guest at Atlantic City.


A correspondent of the Philadelphia Rec
ord, writing from Atlantic City, asks:
Did you ever look upon beautiful face
which told you almost MS plainly as words
that mental anguish had but added to its
beauty? | contemplated such counte-
nance in the parlor of the Shelburne to-
night. Its owner was n lady rather in
clined to be tall, but with symmetrical
form which looked all the more attractive
for the extremely plain costume, black in
color, and almost severe in it's lack of trim
ming or other adornment. Her blonde
hair, dressed in the prevailing seaside
fashion-an English frizze-covered the
forehead to within an inch or so of the dark
blue eyes, and two flushed cheeks, mouth
full of pearly teeth, lips like ripe cherry,
and short, round chin, completed the
picture. But there was something in
the face apart from its natural gifts which
was calculated ut once to rivet the attention
of the observer. 1t was an expression of in
describable melancholy and pain, MS if the
iron had entered the soul of its owner and
left there, not hate or vindictiveness, but
sorrow and anguish-a look so plaintive,
so appealing that one might match IL to
melt the hardest heart. "Who is sbe2" 1
heard the question asked twenty times in
side of an hour, and each time the answer
was returned "Kate Chase Sprague. !"
The former mistress of Canonchet has been
the guest of the Shelburne since Tuesday
and proposes to remain until the close Of
the season. A maid and two nurses, who
have entire charge Of her three children, all
girls, the oldest being IL and the youngest
not yet 3, comprise her retinue. She moves
about in dreamy sort of way, seldom
mingling with the other guests or engaging
with them in conversation. Even when in
the society of intimate friends, several
of whom are at the same hotel,
she sedulously avoids all references
to her domestic difficulties. / asked
her tonight If the sale of the Sprague
estate, referred to in the morning
dispatches from Providence, jeopardized any
of her interests, and her mouth was open
for reply when Judge Tyner put in an in
opportune appearance with remark on tho
mosquitoes, a popular subject, which in
stantly changed the drift of the converse
ton. There is one thing which the little
newsboys who hunt for patronage on Michi-
gan avenue have not been slow in finding
out-Mrs. Sprague is an attentive reader of
the New York morning dailies. Any morn
ing, soon after the arrival of the train with
the Gotham papers, u couple of lads may be
seen running neck and neck up the avenue
to the porch of the Shelburne, and the one
who wins is certain sure to leave four pa
pers short. Whether the demand will con-
tinue to exist now that the Albany crowd
has laid Lord Roscoe on the shelf is prob
| lem to be solved

A day or two after the President was
shot, Mr.. w. T. HELEN, while riding out
with his family near the Piney Branch road
discovered n terrapin (dry land species)
running across the road. His little boy
Frank jumped from the carriage and cap
tured the speckled- backed beauty. When
the terrapin was handed to him by his boy,
Mr.. HELEN was surprised to find cut on the
under shell the inscription, 1865, J. A. G."
Mr.. HELEN has the terrapin in his back
yard at his residence, Third and f streets,
as pet thing for his children. Our re-
porter examined the terrapin yesterday
afternoon and the cuts, plainly perceptible
on the under shell, were evidently made n
number of years ago. May it not be sup
posed that the President cut his initials on
the terrapin at the date mentioned in one
lof his drives about the city and then re-
leased it.

A Sad Affair.
Among the amusements at Marshall Hall
yesterday afternoon was q sack-race for
which prizes were offered of 81, fifty cents
and twenty-five cents, to be given to tho
first three in the race. Johnny Dyer, a
little boy who stated that he had had moth
ing substantial to cat for two days, seeing q
prospect of winning prize and dinner,
entered the race and strove with energy be-
yond his little strength toward the goal.
Three times in tho course of the race Johnny
fell, and after the third fall he did not seem
able to rise. The crowd gathered around
the little fellow and saw at once that he
was seriously ill. He was carried to cabin
and all possible aid rendered, but late in the
evening, when q collection of $3.50 was
taken up for him, it was the general i'm
preston that the money would be expended
in burying instead of feeding the unfortu-
nate little fellow. The boys home is with
fisherman at Gut landing, out of the
reach of the District charities, and where
neither fishing nor hunting are very profit
able. The boy has been suffering with chills
and fever as well as for lack of substantial
