S AW HIS SH ADOW
But That Was Enough for the Zoo Ground
Hog and He Retired.
This eans,Accordfng to the Weather.
Wise, Six Weeks Of Cold Weather
Still to Come.

Washington has not been afflicted with
very much severe weather so far this SEA-
son, but now there is every reason to be-
lieve that winter is on his way here, ready
to make things lively for every one-except
be more cold and suffering. Winter is a
little late in coming. but when it does get
here II will last for six weeks.
Why 80 sure Of this? For the reason that
today is grounding day and when weather
wise people got up this morning. the first
they did was to look at the sky to see what
the prospects were for a sunny day. Every
one. except small children born since the
ID Of last February, is expected to know
that on grounding day that curious quad
ruped issues from his permanent winter
home and squints about to see what the
signs Of promise are. If he sees his own
shadow cast upon the ground he knows
that there will surely be six weeks more
Of winter, and he crawls back into his hole
to take another good long nap before he
comes out for his summer campaign.
Today was an indeal one for the ground
hog to make his appearance on earth-that
Is, providing you like winter weather
When the specimen out at the Zoo got up
this morning he looked at his calendar and,
noting the day Of the month, yawned and
stretched himself. and then crawled out in to
the light of outer day. At first his dulled
eyes Were almost blinded by the powerful
light, and he decided to go back to his COM
Portable bed without any more delay.
Then, as his eyes got more accustomed TO
looking at things, he observed that what he
had at first mistaken for sunlight was only
early dawn, and that the sun, which had
not had as long a sleep as he had, was not
yet out of bed.
About this time one of Keeper Black
burns assistants brought him his coffee
and rolls. after which Mr.. Hog lighted a
cigarette and threw himself back in an
easy chair. putting leisurely away and anx-
ious only to see what the day would
bring forth. 1t was not long In coming.
Breaking through the early morning mists
the sun began to pour down I'm royal radi-
ance upon him, and from that time on there
was not a moment in the day when the
poor worried ground hog could get away
from his shadow. No matter which way
he turned nor where he went that shadow
was with him. like Nemesis. and the
id spot would not out" so he took to
the woods. not to be seen again for six
weeks. And great is the Joy among the
coal men and the plumbers.

This Experience.

A bold case of highway robbery vas re-
ported to the police at the second precinct
station last night and two hours laier
Policeman Hayhurst had the alleged nigh
wayman In custody. II was between ana
O'Clock when one Of Johnston Bros gro-
Gerry wagons stopped on L street northwest
between New Jersey avenue and ID street
There were two men in the wagon ana
a negro who put his foot on the step asked
the men:
DO you know Mr. Hoover"
NO.. was the response Of one of the men.
Give me 10 cents" was the highway
mans demand. and. upon being refused. he
drew a revolver. SO IL is alleged, and de-
manoed bundle of the groceries lie "a an
given bundle of crackers and ether ar
ticles. because the driver was afraid he
would use his pistol. and then the man de-
parted. VIC
When the police were notified Oficer Hav-
hurst was given a description of the ma n
ana two hours later he entered q house in

NOT A VIOLATION
OF the Constitution, ms Feared by Ger
tain Liquor DeaIers

An important opinion OF interest to Honor
men was rendered by the attorney for the
District today. The opinion was based
upon a claim made by West Steever attor-
ney for certain liquor dealers, claiming n
refund In respect of the amounts paid by
his clients for liquor licenses. The claim
ants In this case ask for a return Of 30 per
cent Of the amount paid by each of them
for wholesale licenses. which were ternf-
mated October 81, 1893. The sum claimed
by the respective claimants represents the
difference between the amounts paid by
them for wholesale licenses under section
p, par. q. of an act of the legislative as
sembly of the District. approved August
q. 1871, and the amounts paid by them for
such licenses under section OF the act OF
Congress approved March 3. 1893. regulat-
ing the liquor traffic Of this District
1t is claimed that by the decision OF the
court OF Appeals, in District We. Busch.
these applicants are exempted from paying
incense fees at a greater rate than that
prescribed by the legislative assembly, for
wholesale liquor licenses expiring on Octo-
Der 81 last, and further that to make them
pay at the higher rate of license fixed by
the new law is to impose a tax indirectly
which Congress could not impose directly
without violating the Constitution Of the
United States. The provision OF the Con-
stitution supposed to be violated In this
case is section Of article i, which de-
clares that 'the Congress shall have power
to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excises-but all duties imposts and ex-
cfses shall be uniform throughout the Uni
ted States"
The Constitution stu Intact.
In his opinion upon the case Mr.. Thomas,
the attorney OF the District. says: Statutes
regulating or prohibiting the manufacture
and sale OF Intoxicating liquors being en-
acted In virtue Of what is termed the Do
lice power, II has been held in every case
In which their validity has been questioned
under the federal or state constitutions,
that such enactments come rightly within
the scope Of this comprehensive and salu-
tary power. The exaction of a license fee
for the privilege of a license to sell LIQUORS
Is essentially distinguishable from the i'm
position OF a tax upon the business The
regulation OF the traffic in intoxicating
liquors, being a matter peculiarly within
the police power of this District which fs
reposed in Congress, it's action upon the
subject as expressed in the act of March
!, 1873. regulating the sale OF intoxicating
liquors is not In contravention OF the Con-
stitution OF the United States. in regard TO
the laying and collection Of duties, imposts
ana excuses. But aside from these grounds
these Claimants were new applicants and
Tor the reason pointed out in the report OF
MI. Trimble. their requests for refund
should be refused, and so advise you"

The Fathers Love.

AoNCs
1t might be true. said Judge Hagner, that
the father loved the little boy: IL he did Il
was greatly to his credit. although no more
than he should do; but the mother also
loved the little one, and perhaps more than
nan could comprehend. Yet IT was un-
reasonable to say that because such a
father loved the child he should, because
of that one fact. retain the little one in
his custody. 1t had been charged. explained
the judge that the mother had been forced
to depend upon the charity of her father.
But" asked the court, addressing Hen
bricks who but you forced the poor wom-
to seek such a refugee
In conclusion Judge Hagner decided that
he was clearly of the opinion that not one
of the charges preferred against Mrs. Hen
he would place the little one in the care
and custody of its mother. the child not TO
be taken out of the Jurisdiction of the
court, and to be allowed to be visited by
it's father.
During the courts remarks the little
one had nestled in its fathers lap on one
side of the table between counsel, while
the mother sat just opposite. beside her
counsel. As the judge concluded, MIR. Fit
man, counsel for Mrs. Hendricks. asked the
court to direct the father to hand the child
over to its mother. This Hendricks did.
and springing toward her child the poor
motner ciaSped tne little one 10 ner bosom,
showering IL with kisses. and sobbing in
her joy. She was at once surrounded by
her relatives and friends. while many in
the crowded little court room pressed for
ward and congratulated her.
Mr.. Moulton, counsel for Hendricks stated
to the court that his client was willing to
provide a home for his wife and children
II hope he WILL" remarked Judge Hagner

Neither Mrs Hendricks nor her counsel
made any response, and taking her child IN
her arms she proudly and lovingly carried
him on while the father surrounded by sew.

The little fellow, frightened by the confusion
cried for his father as he was triumphantly
borne away.

The Decision of Judge Hagner I'm the
Hendricks Case.

"And may this little child lead them
exclaimed Judge Hagner this morning, as
he concluded his decision in the suit OF Mrs
Mary L. Hendricks against her husband
ex-Policeman VIM. T. Hendricks, for the
possession Of their three-year-old child
Randolph. The decision gave the little one
to its mother.
Judge Hagner delivered an oral opinion
Of some length, In which he commented
upon the evidence submitted on both sides
during the past few days, declaring tina,
the allegations of improper conduct and
habits made against Mrs. Hendricks by her
husband had been proven to be utterly
groundless. On the other hand, the cour,
held that the father Of the child had been
shown to be q cruel, Incorporate husba.d
and father UNIT to have the custody OF
his child. Hendricks. said Judge Hazner
had six times been found guilty by the
police authorities Of charges preferred
against him as an officer, and had recently
been dismissed from the force. In addition
to that, said the court, he had been fined
$50. recently. in the Police Court, for COM
