These despairing words were made by
a well-known gentleman who is doing
business on Main street. They reflect the
feelings of hundreds of other people in

feelings; Not the great troubles Of life,
but the little petty annoyances; not the
alarming diseases. but the constant feel

tion and weakness. These things will
Kill people quicker than more sudden dis
eases, because they are certain to grow
into worse symptoms and eventually end
in DEATH
While it Is sad that these things should
be so, it is great cause for congratulation
that science has come to the rescue. and
in that great discovery, DR.. Howard 5

cure for all these troubles, and certain

CLUBS NOT EXEMPTED
General Misapprehension Of Judge Miller's
Recent Ruling.
Liquor License Case of the Press Club
an EXceptiOn-Nr. Thomas and
Judge Miller.

For some reason or other the rulings of
Judge Miller of the Police Court in the
case of the steward of the Press Club,
charged with violating the liquor law, has
been generally construed TO mean that reg
ulariy incorporated clubs are not required
to take out licenses for the sale of liquor.
Because of this impression, it is said,
number of such organizations have made
demand upon the assessor of the District
for return Of their deposited license fees.
The assessor, however, has refused to re-
tilrn the fees, on the ground that Judge
Miller's ruling was made in an exceptional
case. and that he did rot hold that such
clubs ara exempted from the payment OF
license fees.
1t is known that Judge Miller has him
self stated that he neither intended to nor
did hold that Incorporated clubs are eX-
empted from the payment of the Lawfully
required license fees, and is somewhat an
noyeu because his ruling in the case OIL
the Press Club has been misconstrued.
In that case, SO Judge Miller is said to
have understood, the testimony tended to
show that membership in the eluo Is re-
stricted to newspaper men; that only
members of the profession can become
guests CT the club, and in the purchase and
sale of liquor members of the club alone
participate, no profit from such sales be-
ing attempted. Hence, SO he is understood
to explain Judge Miller instructed the jury
that if they believed from the evidence
submitted that membership in the club
was restricted to a certain class and no
profit whatever was derived or attempted
to be derived from the sale of liquor, the
sale thereof being solely restricted to
members of the club they should return a
verdict of not guilty.
That the jury SO believed was evident
from their prompt verdict OF not guilty.
In further explanation of his ruling, Judge
Miller is understood saying that from
the evidence he believed the Press Club
to be such class organization as to en-
title it to be classed family concern in
the eyes of the law.
The attorney TO the District Commission
is understood to coincide in Judge Mil
ler's ruling, being of the opinion that the
court acted within the law and facts in that
particular case. But he is understood as
holding that there is SO far as he knows,
no organization in the District similar to
the Press Club in its restrictions as to
membership and guests to a particular
class: and, therefore, no other club here
can claim like exemption from the payment
of the required license fee. When ques-
toned about the matter by Star reporter
today. Mr.. Thomas. however, declined to
be quoted in the matter, explaining that
until opinion had been officially requested
it would hardly be proper for him to ex-
press himself.

Sudden Death of q WeIl-knOwn News
paper Correspondent.
Ed. s. Quinn, an esteemed newspaper
correspondent, died suddenly in the Press
Club about o'clock this morning. He was
apparently well a short while before his
death The cause of death was congestion
of the lungs, brought on from thought
lessly going out into the storm without his
overcoat. Mr.. Quinn had been here in
Washington about eighteen months. and
during that short time had made wide
and devoted circle of friends, both among
newspaper men and men in public life. he
was correspondent of the Milwaukee Times
and later of the Journal of that city. He
was also secretary to Representative Som
ers OF Wisconsin. He would, in the spring,
have taken charge of the tour of the Ma
rine Band through the south and west Tor
which he was making preparations.
Mr.. Quinn was member OF the Press
Club, where he made his headquarters. be-
ing d single man.
Last night he came In late to get supper
and appeared at that time to be in the
best of health. A few minutes before his
death he told feilow-Elember that he
had just spit up a little blood, but he did
not seem TO regard II as anything serious.
A few minutes after he was seen 10 throw
his arms in the air and with an eXclama-
ton fall backward. Prof. Fanciulli, who
was one of his most devoted friends rush

and for the stricken man to die in his
arms
Mr. Quinn was a fine-looking man of
athletic build and was always proud of
his great power of endurance. In defiance
Of storm, he often refused to wear an over
coat and seemed to enioy-the possession of
a reputation for hardihood. He won a
reputation through wonderful display of
courage and skill in reaching a wreck on
Lake Michigan. The wreck was caught in
the ice as far out from shore as could be
seen and every effort to reach it had fail
ed because of wide breaks in the ice. He,
by pushing a boat in front of him on the
ice and rowing across the open spaces,
reached the steamer, found that they We're
in a safe position, though bound in the
ice and got back in time to get a scoop
for his paper and to relieve anxiety for the
steamer He was about thirtysffve years
old, of a quiet, amiable disposition and an
address which made friends for him quick
ly. Definite arrangements for the funeral
have not been made, but it is expected that
the remains will be sent to Wisconsin.

WEAR NO OvERCOATS.
Letter Carriers Have to Stand the
Cold.


While the elements were raging, the cold
biting the ears of pedestrians and nearly
freezing persons clad in overcoat, guern-
sey and furs, Uncle Sans letter carrier
darted around corners, in doorways, and
ran through the streets attired in the reg
uiation short coat, reaching merely to his
waist. 1t is surprising how well the letter
carriers withstood the storm, and, never
grumbling, made their way through the
snow and wind. Then the question was
raised, why do not the letter carriers
wear oyercoatS?' A Star representative
asked MIR. James E. Bell, superintendent of
the city delivery, this question this morn
ing, and Mr.. Bell replied that there was
10 regulation whatever foTbGding them to
do SO. The postal regulations provide for
an overcoat, and the only thing that might
ccnlllct with their wearing oyercoatS is
the provision requiring letter carriers
to deliver mail in uniform. The carriers
times of severe weather. like this for in
stance. Many OF them wear their summer
coat beneath their winter one, and find ii
sufficiently warm. The letter carriers,
however, sneak differently, and one man
said that if overcoats We're put on they
were told to take them off. This was put
ung 1t strong So the reporter assembled
the stairs to the room where letter carriers
spend their waiting moments, and it was
noticed that among the one hundred or so
men there was not noticeable an overcoat
among them. The carriers say that there
is a notice prohibiting the wearing of over
coats, or any coat which obstructs the
view of the entire uniform. But the men
take 1t lightly, and complain but little.

A FEW REMARKS.
They Went With the Fall of a Hill
Horse.

An exciting colloquy took place on the
corner of 18th and F streets about IL
o'clock last night between a well-meaning
citizen and car driver on the Metropoli-
tan line. A hill horse which was being
driven along with the two regular horses
SLIPPED and fell, and before the driver
could gain control of his car the platform
had hit the horse on the head. Thereupon
the well-meaning citizen took it upon him.
self to harangue the driver in a very
forcible and aggressive manner on his care
lessness. The driver took it all very good
naturedly until one statement, a trif1e
more biting than the rest, stung him to
the quick. Then he started for the man
with the evident intention of chewing him
up. The mans wife, who I'D to this time
mad been trying to get her husband to go
on the scene in highly dramatic manner
Throwing herself between the driver and
her husband she uttered screams of dis
tress, long and loud. OF course, a crowd
speedily collected to find out the cause
OF the cries. Meanwhile the innocent
cause of all this disturbance the poor hill
horse, who had been forgotten m the
more exciting part of the affair." had re-
gained his feet and was standing patiently
waiting for the clang, clang of the bell
Tor him to go ahead once more. Seeing
this the knight of the whip contented him
SELF with the remark, IF you didn't have
that there lady with you I'd pick you I'D
by your heels and knock your head against
That telegraph pole, that 1 would" and.
unwinding his brake started ON his cold
trip once more
This same driver certainly looked per-
fectly capable of doing all that he said
he would do, and if it had not been for the
Womans cries attracting a crowd the little
man would certainly have received a wal
looping. When last seen the well-meaning
citizen was answering the queries of a
policeman, who had sauntered up after it
was all over with the customary What's
the NATTER and his wife was convulsed
with tears.
