Police Court Reversed.

The Court of Appeals, June 6, 1893, re-
versed the judgment of the Police Court
holding in Bush's case that the act of
March 3, 1893, did not affect licenses or
privileges then existing The result of the
order of the Commissioners of May 3, 1893
contends Mr.. Thomas, was that dealers who
We're fortunate enough to have their IL
cenSes granted before March, 1893 on paw
ment Of a tax of So each in the case of
wholesale dealers. and Of 500 each in the
case of retail dealers. went on with their
business until the end of the license year.
while those who were not so fortunate,
among whom We're Mr.. Thomas clients,
paid taxes at the rate of $3.50 and $500 per
annum for the unexpired portion of the
same license year. This, Mr.. Thomas sub
mits, was an unjust and unfair discrimna-
ton. and clearly. he believes, in violation
of the constitutional provision that taxati
shall be equal and uniform.
Those Dealers he continues, who were
in business prior to March 3, 1893, and who
applied for renewals of their licenses, and
deposited with the collector of taxes the
amount Of their license fee, wer. virtually
licensed as necessary consequence of the
judgment of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict in Nau's case 90 D. c., 547), that thu
license act of the legislative assembly of
1872 was revenue act, and that there
could be no prosecution except for failure
to pay the license fee.
Now, in view of the Judgment of the
Court Of Appeals that the effect of the act
of March 3, 1893, was not to revoke licenses
or destroy privileges acquired under the old
law, ii was manifestly wrong to force deal
ers who were In business prior to March 3,
1893, to take out licenses under the new law
and pay increased rates in thu midst of the
license year. q. ..-. - ,-

Entitled to Refund.

There can be no doubt, 1 think, that IL
cense taxes imposed by the act Of Congress
Of March 3, 1893, regulating the sale Of in
toxicating liquors in this District, are taxes
within the meaning of the constitutional
provision above referred to, and l submit
that 80 per cent of the money received by
the District as license taxes from wholesale
liquor dealers after March 3. 1898, for the
license year ending November 1 of that
year, and - per cent of the money received
from the retail liquor dealers for the same
period, should be refunded, as having been
enormously collected.
This can be done under an act of the late
legislative assembly of the District ap-
proved January 10, 1872 authorizing the
refunding of moneys enormously paid for
taxes, licenses, ETC., and l have the honor
to request that You refer this matter to the
attorney Of the District for his opinion"
The question, it Is understood, will be re-
ferred by the Commissioners to the attor-
ney for the District, as requested by Mr..
Thomas.

The art of fascination!
What a wonderful art
To begin with, it is not necessary io
be beautiful, or even good looking.
Many of the most fascinating women
women whose fame has outlived
them by some thousands of years,
would not have been called beautiful
by their dearest friends or deadliest
enemies-if they had any.
Wherein lay the secret of their
power?
A fascinating woman gives herself up
absolutely and entirely to the people
in whose company she happens to be
thrown. Her own sorrows and joys arc
thrust into the background. while she
always makes a practice of listening
attentiyely to the joys and sorrows of
others. A good listener is always ap-
preciated. There are so many people

xho ~ Willing ~ tAlk. but alas Il
feW Who are wIllin9 Ia listen.
She makes : point Of finding out the
subject Of paramount interest to the
person whom she Is with, and she dis
cusses that subject. or to be more ac-
curate. lets him discuss it while she
listens.
The fascinating woman alss believes
In the familiar 0av;ng-"Lausn, and
the world laughs with you. Weep, and
you weep alone" She is always bright,
merry and laughter loving. Happiness
is catching. And what's the good OF
being happy II you can't make others
happy. too?
But when real trouble comes her way
she is all pity and soft. womanlv sym
pathy. She knows that although men
may like a woman who will keep them
merry with her wi. and brightness.
they love a woman upon whose bosom
they can shed their hitteress tears, as
sured of her tender sympathy. And yet,
when she is sad aad dcwnsast herself.
she is careful to shut herself up in the
seolusion Of her own room.
A fascinating woman knows and ap-
preciates the value Of dress. She is
always dressed in perfect taste, and
and, mind you, this is by no means less
important-she knows it. The knowl-
edge that she is well-gowned will give
a woman confidence, and viii put her
more at her ease than anything else in
the world. To be well-gowned does not
necessarily mean to be extensively
dressed. On the contrary, there are
times when an expensive costume
would be out of place.
All thought of self is thrust into the
background. Her aim is to make other
people appear at their best. for she
knows that by so doing she leaves the
best possible impression behind her.
People like to feel that they are appre-
ciated.
Flattery, not bare-faced iattery, but
just the least bit, which, though
felt, is hardly recognizable, and which
a fascinating woman knows so
well how to exercise, has a most won
dcrful effect, notably, of course, on
the opposite sex, but also on her own.
1t is only natural for every woman to
be. proud of the knowledge that she is
loved and appreciated by her own sex.
The really fascinating woman-the
woman whose powers of fascination re-
main with her till the day of her death
lis the woman who is charming to rich
and poor. old and young alike. She is
as fascinating when alone with her
own people as she is when In the COM
pany OF her lover, or in the presence OF |
strangers.
The power of fascination has grown
her growth until it has become
part of herself. She lives in an atmos-
phere of love. and she Is only too glad
to give from the abundance Of love and
good will that is lor.
She finds out from a man what style

~naturalness Is perhaps her greatest
charm-but she has many sides to her
