A CHANCE FOR WHOLESALERS.

The Philadelphia case of the wholesale
liquor dealers who have carried their license
trouble to the Supreme Court is entirely
distinct in procedure from the Pittsburg
case. One is an application for mandamus
to compel the lower court to issue licenses;
the other for certiorari to order rehearing
on the applications. 1t would seem, how
ever, that the Supreme Court would be
more ready to grant the latter than the
former, and the fact that it has issued an
alternative mandamus on the Philadelphia
court carries an implication that it does not
concede the same unrestrained discretion to
the lower court. in the matter of wholesale
licenses, that it has upheld in regard to re-
tail licenses. At all events it seems certain
that the law in the case will be definitely
settled before long.

Riot Between Races.

An English family residing between sixtieth
street and Tenth avenue, an extremely Irish
district, created a riot on Saturday by hanging
out Union Jack in celebration of the Queens
birthday. The flag had been hung out on FRI
day, but had been taken in again. An hour
after the appearance of the flag on Saturday
about 200 men, women and boys, all Irish, were
hooting and groaning before the house. They
pelted the Union Jack with stones, vegetables.
decayed cats and such other missiles as came
handy. They tried to knock it down with poles.
but the Flagstaff was stout and they failed.
Then they made rush for the front door of
the house. The English family, however, had
barred every entrance. All Saturday evening
and part of Saturday night a mob caroused
and rioted under the Englishman's windows.
The row was resumed to-day. Eventually the
English family hauled in the flag and the
crowd dispersed. No policeman appeared on
the scene of the riot till the Union Jack had
been taken In.

Why They Were Vetoed.

In vetoing the bills appropriating $4,000 to
the Mercy Hospital in Pittsburg and 81 200 to
st. Michaels and All Angels, of Philadelphia.
the Governor says: These institutions,
although in themselves very worthy charities
and doing good work in the several localities in
which they are situated, are, practically under
sectarian control" which, the Governor says,
precludes them from getting any State ap-
preparation under the Constitution. The GOV
ernor compliments sectarian institutions with
the statement that they are coming more and
more to realize the force and effect OF the pro-
hibitory provision in the Constitution, their ap-
plications for State aid being fewer every year.
In disapproving the bill for the payment OF
diseased horses killed in Monroe county on
consultation with the Secretary of tho State
Board of Agriculture, the Governor says the
demands are exorbitant, and as he had informa-
tion that insurance companies had horses killed
to preventCthe spread of the disease and greater
consequent loss to them, the approval OF the
bill would be to make the State the insurer OF
the insurance companies

The President Returns to Washington, After

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The President and
party returned to Washington about noon to-
day from cruise down the Potomac in Mr..
Singerly's yacht Restless. The vessel ran
down about As miles Saturday, and then
anchored at o'clock for the night. Early
next morning she proceeded about 20 miles
further, off Leonardtown, Nd, on Bristow,s
Bay, and remained off that ancient town all
day Sunday. The President and all the rest of
the party made two visits to the shore tor the
purpose of walking and driving. They inquir-
ed what churches were open and found that
there would be no religious services that day.
The people soon became acquainted with the
fact that the President was among them, but
made no particular demonstration. The party
left Leonardtown about o'clock last night,
and steaming back to the point where the pre-
vious night was passed, anchored there again
and remained until 4 o'clock this morning,
when a start was made for Washington. 1t

Were they so bad, then~

"A great deal, my boy As long as was
counting Melinda her fathers eyes had to re-
quire my yconstantettendance. Yesterday she
rejected me and didn't waste time in curing
the old man."
THEY say and whether it be true or not, the
story which hangs upon the assertion is excuse
enough for printing it-they say that there's
nice old German who is still running his saloon
up on Troy Hill, though he has no license.
This breach of the law apparently springs from
slight misunderstanding on the part of the
saloon keeper of a conversation which took
place between him and Judge White in the
License Court last April.
Here is part of the conversation:
Judge White-Have you sold to minors?
"Ah, bur not lately Chorge White" replied
the saloon keeper, who had very imperfect
knowledge of English.
"Have you sold on Sundays?" asked the
Court.
"Ah. bur not lately, Chorge White" was the
reply and to everything the Court asked the
answer was the same. So finally Judge White
said: II do not think you need a license" and
the applicant retired with smile.
He did not cease smiling when the list of
licenses came out and his name was not among
the lucky number.

says: Didn't Chorge White say no need
license!'

A gentleman Of this city, who is a profound
admirer of Wagner, and who is very well known
for his tenor voice and excellent judgment of
horsefesh, confesses that the first time he
heard Tristan und Isolde" he slept through
large part of the performance and was de-
lighted beyond measure when it was over.
Since that time he has heard Wagner's music
often and has come to love his compositions
The brilliant editor of the New York Sun
said in last Sundays issue of that paper: A
question concerning music. of which the inter-
est is not limited by the opera season, is asked:
'Is Richard Wagner the greatest musician
that ever lived ?'
If you think he is, he is; if you think he isn't,
all the argument and all the Wagner operas in
the world won't convince you of your error. AS
rule, in the present stage of musical develop
ment, Wagnerianus nascitur, non fit.

however, is not much of a recommendation to
