SELLING BEER TO PUPILS,

Investigating Complaint Made by Scholars
of the Sumner School.
There was an interesting hearing on an inter-
esting point in the board room at the Commits
sioners Office this morning. About two weeks
ago several pupils Of the Sumner School re-
ported to the supervising principal, H. P. Mont
gomery, the fact that Edward Money, whole
sale liquor dealer, keeping place ut 1149 18th
street, was selling intoxicants to school children
The complaint was sent to the police and
Sergeant Moore detailed to examine the case.
He located the boys who had received beer at
Moneys place, but could not prosecute, as the
law governing the sale of liquors by Wholesale
was silent as to the punishment for selling to
minors.
The Commissioners attention was called to
the case and the incompleteness Of the law
pointed out. They saw a way to reach the
defendant and forthwith issued an order for
him to appear before them this morning and
show cause why his Wholesale license should not
be revoked. The hearing attracted quite an
audience
John Butler, Chas Wilson and Bryson Chase
testified to receiving beer and blackberry wine
by the glass in McNey's place one day some
ever, stated that Mr.. Money was not present
Mr.. G. Maurice Smith. who appeared for the
defendant, said he trusted the Commissioners
would overlook this mistake, for if the beer was
sold 1t was without the consent and against the
instructions of the defendant. He had been in
business at his present place for eight years.
during which time no complaint had ever been
made against him.
The Commissioners reserved their decision.

Although They Looked Very Young.

Although They Looked Very Young.
This morning on the early train on the WASH
ington aud Ohio railroad there were two souls
with hut single thought ana two hearts that
beat as one. Tho possessors Of the souls and
hearts were John Steele and Monte Hunt, .
Young couple from near Dranesville. Fairfax,
county, Va The Young man was neatly
dressed in a new suit OF blue Yachting cloth
and the young country lass wore a white dress
that was just from the laundry, with a pair OF
white silk gloves and a hat that would reflect
credit on any frst-class millinery establishment.
Naturally enough the first place they wanted
70 md here Was the man who sells licenses for
II and II took them but a short time 60 find
him. Having paid his big silver dollar the
young man went with friend and a STAR
porter TO the Office Of Preacher bailey in the
civil service commission.
The Young people looked n little frightened
when the minister told them 20 step forward
and looked at them though they we're 10
young to enter the matrimonial state.
Miss Monte trembled when the minister asked
her age, but said. Nearly eighteen"
Are YOU sure Won are fully seventeen7"
"Oh, yes sir" she answered, I'm be eighteen
in August"
Il thought you looked as though Won were
only fourteen or fifteen" added the divine.
And you?' he asked turning toward the
prospective benedict.
II am twenty-one." he said in low tone Of
voice. II am going on twenty
The Young mans friend said he was sure the
Young man was of age. and he thought the lady
was as old as she had stated. He knew that
their parents were willing for them 10 get
married.
Then they were told TO Join their right hands
and the young man was so nervous that he
stretched forth his left one. His mistake was
discovered, and 20 make sure there would be no
mistake he held the right hand of the one who
was soon 20 he his better half with both his
hands. He then withdrew his left hand and q
few minutes later he said "Yes, sir, in an
almost inaudible tone. while the lady said Il

hardly indicated possible. Ii took the minister
but few moments to pronounce them "one"
and they went ON their way rejoicing.

officers the information that he was presidential

mitted that he had escaped from an insane
