FIN FOR SWEET CHARITY on FIRE ISLAND.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Tile extreme heat of the week aroused the
sympathles Of several of the young ladies staying here
and they resolved to do something Tor the poor mothers
and children obliged to remain iu swelteHng city,
Accordingly They arranged with their elder sisters
that there should be subscription list started and
an entertainment given by the younger folks. Al
though there Was only short notice, the guests
responded generously, and were amply repaid by inc
earnest endeavors Of the baby actors ana actresses
The principal performance was shirt dance executed
by two embryo Yale students. Judging from the re-
calls these rivals OF Csrmenclta and the other l'as
received, Yale is liable TO develop an athletic talent
In q hitherto undevelopcd field. The proceeds OF our
entertainment amounted to $40 so. Deductng ~ 49,
for printing and other necessary expenses. We enclose
YOU a check for $50 %. Trusting that the bene
fciares Of your Fund may reap much bcncht rs
We Fire Islanders did from very pleasant evening
spent In the sweet name of charity, we remain very
truly yours, - - - . e,

There is a nice question OF construction OF statutes
Involved In this which arises under secuoH ="
Of the new Excise raw. That section prohibits the
granting Of a license Of this class Tor any place
within 200 feet OF church or school. The law
says The measurements shall be taken between the
principal entrances Of the buildings used for Suth
church school purposes and the place i0r WIN"
an application for license has been made
The facts in the case are that the st. Thomas Church
has its principal entrance within less than 200 OF the
building In which Fizsimons wants to do business.
But Judge BlshoHs reading OF the clause in question
Is That the distance is 10 be measured between the en-
trance Of the church and the entrance OF the grogsop
Taking the hint, F1tzsmons has fixed his third ana
present application to cover place whose main
entrance + in second ave, and more than 100 1eet
from the church entrance which Is In siXtActh-st Mr.
Gaens maintains that the statute means that the dis
lance be measured between the principal entrances
u tire churches and the nearest part Of the building
used for liquor selling, matter where Its door Is
Its "A nice question for legal argument
The property in question stands in the name Of T.

backing Fitzimons's application with all his 'niu-

Court held that he could not review the action Of the

Board will bolster up the doubtful point OF statute
