MEASLES AT WHITE HOUSE.
Little Esther Cleveland Stricken
The Children Are Removed TO
WOOdleM.

Washington, D.. Co., ApyiE 1.-THE
meeting of the cabinet today WAS post
poned without date owing to. the sudden
appearance of the measles in the Presi
dents household. little Esther Cleveland
being stricken with it.. This imfantile
disease has been almost epidemic IN
Washington for some time past and all
precautions have not availed to, prevent
it's spread everywhere. Private Secre
tary Thurber's children have all had the
disease in regular course, and to prevent
the possibility of it's transmission to the
white house Mr.. Thurber has, abSeiated
himself from his own domicile for the
present week and has made his residence
at the white house. However, this, sac
the eruption suddenly appeared on LITTLE
Esther Cleveland, marking herr as the
FIRST victim at the white house.
To prevent the spread of the disease
among the families of the cabinet Off
GERS word was sent by telegraph to, the
various departments that there wouid be
no meeting of the abinet today and then
steps were taken to combat the disease
In Mr.. Cleveland's household. Orders
were sent to Woodley, the Presidents
suburban residence to put the place in
shape for the immediate reception Of the
family, and Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied
by all of the children, left the white
house to make their home at Woodley
until the disease has run it's course. Lit
tie Esther was taken away i'll a. sep
arate carriage, and in the hope of con-
fining the disease as much as possible,
she win be secluded at Woodley from the
other children.
Meanwhile the President and Mr..
Thurber will remain at the white house
until the measles has run it's course in
the family One effect of the appearance
of the disease was the immediate aban-
donment of the kindergarten which has
been so successfully operated in quarters
specially fitted up for the childrenl at the
white house. The attendance was not
confined to the Presidents children,
about dozen of the smaller children of
the cabinet families and of friends of

AWAITING A VERDICT.
Some Startling Testimony Intro
duced in the O'Donnell Case
at Eau Claire.

Eau Claire, Wis, April 9.-[Special.] J.
At an early hour this morning it de-
veloped that District-Attorney Farr had
been taking the evidence of Vina lie
Claire at a quiet session of the jury of
inquest in the O'Donnell case. lasting
from 7:30 o'clock last night till nearly
morning. Vina LeClaire arrived from
Glenwood last night in company with a
deputy sheriff. She told the jury about
the case for which O'Donnell was jailed
a few months ago on complaint Of his
deceased wife.
The LeClaire woman also testified
that while he was in Jail at Hudson he
wrote her a letter in which he said he
hoped to get rid of his wife soon, that
she, the witness, supposed he meant by
this that he intended to secure a di-
vorce from his wife as he had talked
about that before with the idea of mar
rying her, the witness. She said she
had received at Glenwood four letters
from O'Donnell since he had been in
Eau Claire and in three letters he said
his wife was very sick and liable to die.
In the fourth he said his wife was dead
and he would tell her about it after the
funeral. The witness further testified
that last week she was visited by a
man from Eau Claire, sent to her by
ODonnell, and that the man told her
that O'Donnell said she wouldn't have to
tell any more than she wanted to about
the case.
The LeClaire woman is about 20 years
of age, of prepossessing appearance and
is the daughter of a well-to-do farmer
near Glenwood. She returns to Glen
wood this morning. The jury will
doubtless return verdict tonight.
O'DOnnell is in iail

CLUBS ARE EXEMPTED.
Decision Which, it is Believed, will
Let Them Escape the
Raines' Law.

Albany, N. Y, April Under a de-
cision of the court of appeals today
there appears to be d possibility that
clubs will escape the operations of TIE
Raines excise law. The case was that
of the state vs.. the Adelphi club of Al
bany for selling liquor without license
and it was brought under the old excise
law, the defendant being fined $500 by
the trial court The liquor in question
was sold to a member of the club. The
court of appeals reverses the decision
below and discharges the steward of
the Adelphi club, against whom the Judg-
ment stood. While primarily the courts
decision is based upon the failure OF
the law of 1895 to specify clubs as those
who were required to take out licenses,
the poiniOn says:
The defendant has limited and selected
membership, and while the property ana
supplies are technically owned by the club
each member is in equity an equal owner
In common. 1t is not organized for the pur-
pose of engaging in a business for profit or
for the traffic in liquors. 1t engages in no
business other than which pertains 20 main
tenance of It's library, reading rooms and the
social intercourse and comfort of it's mem
berS Liquors as we'll as other supplies are
distributed to its members upon the writ
ten order of the member at a price Axed
by the officers of the club designed to cover
the purchase price and disbursements In
serving. These orders pass to the steward
or treasurer OF the club and are charged
against the member, who settles therefor
monthly. We think that the transaction did
not amount to a sale within the meaning of
the statute. 1t was but a distribution
among he members of the club of the prop
erty that belonged to them. The fact that
a payment wasm AIDE does not change the
character of the act, for it was but the
means adopted by which each member
could receive his own and not that belonging
to his fellow member.
Matthew Hale, counsel for the Adelphi
club, said, after hearing the decision:
''The new law distinctly Ievies a tax ror
'traficking' in liquors.. This opinion dis
tinctly says that clubs do not traffic
in liquors but only distributed what is
their own / think that it's effect will
be to exempt clubs from the provisions
Of the new law"
