Sharp, colored, was called in the Police Court yesterday on the charge of assault- ing his wife Sarah. The latter walked to the witness’ stand with such umsteady steps that the court was in doubt as to her sobriety, but became satisfied that she was sick. Before dis- posing of the case he requested the police au- thorities to have her examinéd. Dr. Poole, who was called in, testified that she was suffer- ing from a chronic complaint and not from the beating. The court gave a sentence of sixty days. we Stole His Mother’s Bed Spread. Yesterday afternoon a man thirty-three years old, named Charles C. Potts, was before the Police Court on the charge of the larceny of a bed spread from his mother, and in default of $10 fine he was sent to jail for thirty days. It was testified that he took the spread to obtain money iquor. Pot! aled to court to let Lim off and after tchtence walked over to his mother and bade her good-bye, ex- pressing the hope that she would not regret what she bad done. The mother was visibl: affected and those present sympathized with her. A charge against Frank Goldsmith of re- ceiving the stolen property was dismissed, as he hed made the proper return as required by the police regulations. ae Injured by a Falling Load. Frauk Nicholson was assisting in the unload- ing of a quantity of iron at the new gas works at 12th and M streets southeast yesterday after- noon, One of the side supports of the load suapped and allowed the load to fall on one of Nicholson’s legs and feet. He was taken to bis home on 10th street southeast, where Dr. McKim stopped a considerable effusion of blood which was issuing from @ two-and-a-half inch cut in Nicholson's foot. Felicia The Inmates of the Insane Asylum. The annual report of the board of visitors of the St. Elizabeth insane asylum, a summary of which was given in yesterday's Star, states that the total number of old soldiers and sailors remaining in the hospital at the begin- ning of the present fiscal year was 710. The total number of patients treated since the open- ing of the institution is 7,511. Of this number 166 became insane before they were ten years of age, 79 when between ten and fifteen years, 416 when between fifteen and twenty, 1.350 when between twenty-five aud thirty, 1.160 when between thirty and thirty-five, 865 when betweer thirty-five and forty, and 637 when be- tween forty and forty-five. Fifteen became in- sane when between eighty and ninety and two when over ninety. The insane hospital farm last year produced about 240,000. The esti- mates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, seuregnte $333.00. The increase in the num- ber of patients from the District of Columbia during the past year has not been so great as im one or two former years. sedan Scamrer Suxvars Arz Growina Scance.—So are the opportunities to visit Atlantic City at the low rate of €3 for theround trip.

GEORGE KEEFE MAKES 4 BETTER RECORD THAN THE FAMOUS TIM—HOW THE OTHER GAMES RESULTED—THE RACE FOR THE PEXNANT— NOTES OF THE BALL FIELD. Gotham's Giants were not in yesterday's game at all, the Senators having the lead on them at every point and finally winning by the score of 18to3. Keefe and Mack and Keefe and Brown were the batteries. The New Yorks could neither bat nor field, while the States- men were in fine form and hit the ball just about as they wanted. In fact, the conditions were exactly reversed from Monday’s game, The rather slim crowd present became dis- gusted before the game was half over and transferred their affections to the visitors, who were roundly applauded on every play. Washington made one run in the second and three in the third. In the fourth New York tallied twice and the Senators five times. After this the Giants could make the circuit of the bases but once, in the fifth, while the Statesmen made two in os —— as many more - the fom or 6 game they put up was almost fect, Mack making is sole palit of the game. The work of Arthur Irwin, Wilmot, Beecher and Wise brought forth prolonged cheers. Mack led the batting for both sides with four hits, one of thema double. Wise and Beecher each le two singles. Arthur Irwin a two-bagger and Hoy and Brother John a single hit apiece, George Keefe was in good shape and showed up in praiseworthy contrast to his namesake Timothy, who was very ineffective. George gave seven bases on bails, struck out four men and made one wild pitch, and Timothy gave six bases, struck out six men and made one wild pitch. The game was very short, lasting on): fifty-five minutes. Wilmot stole two bases an: Ward, Wise and Mack each one. Washington made 11 hits and 1 error and New York 6 hits and 11 errors. OTHER Games. Boston clinched the lead by taking the sec- ond game from Philadelphia, 13 to 6. Buffin- ton, Gleason and Clements and Radbourne and Ganzel were the batteries. After Buston had made enough runs to win. Buff. retired at the end of the fifth. Boston made 14 hits and 3 errors and Philadelphia 11 hits and 5 errors, Indianapolis and Pittsburg divided honors, each taking a geme. The Hoosiers won the first. 5to 1. Getzein and Daily and Staley, Sowders and Miller were the batteries, Indian- apolis made 10 hits and 2 errors and Pittsburg 4 hits and 2 errors, ‘The Burgers took the second game, 8 to 8, b batting out five runs in the first inning. Gal- vin and Carroll and Rusie and Sommers were the batteries. The Pittsburgs made 7 hits and 3 errors and the Hoosiers 3 hits and 0 errors, Chicago squeezed away from Clevelan4, 12 to 11. The Infants first bad a start, then lost it, and in the ninth made a spurt and made four runs—just one short of a tie. O'Brien and Zimmer and Dwyer and Darling were in the points. Ansou's men made 10 hits and 3 errors and the Babes 11 hits and 6 errors, ASSOCIATION GAMES, At St. Louis—St. Louis, 19; Kansas City, 1. At Columbus—Athletics, 10; Columbus, 5.

This made a balance of 3,457 in favor of the east and a grand total of 14,457. Al Myers is not hitting the ball nowadays, his base-hit column being # blank nearly every day.

How the Bills of Fare Have Changed— Getting the Best of Bar Keepers. “Free lunch from 11 to 2” is the sign seen hanging at the doors of many down-town saloons, Although the reading of the sign gives the impression that “all are invited” that is not the case. It does not follow because the word “free” is used that it means for every- body to enter and eat until his hunger is satis- fied, for if such was the case it would take at least one hundred long counters well stocked with eatables to supply the demand that would be made atevery such place, The lunch in- dicated is intended as a “bait” to catch cus- tomers for the drinking bar. Some saloons have ‘free lunch” counters that will outdo many lunches put up at ordinary lunch rooms. The set out is changed each day, so that the variety is ample to satisfy almost any one who frequents such places. “The old standard free lunch won't do now,” said a saloon mero in conversation with a Srar reporter. ‘There was a time whencheese, mustard and rye bread or crackers were upon every free lunch counter, and customers ex- pected nothing better. But now it is different. The drinkersare not of the same class they were a few years ago. The persons who used to drink at the common saloon were chiefly such persons as those who hung about the streets and did nothing for a living but gamble or watch their chances to pick upa ‘sucker’. In those days people kept liquors in their own houses, and consequently there was not the ne- cessity for visiting saloons to get a drink that there isnow. Then there was not so much drunkenness as there is now. “Rushing the growler,” he continued, “has become quite popular iu recent years, and in- deed it has become so popular that there is not so much money made as there was when the ‘growler’ was seldom thought of. When a per- son is thirsty nowadays and his fands are lim- ited he doesn’t walk into a saloon and call for a glass of beer, but he goes and gets a ‘growler,” # tin pan, bucket or can of some kind, and sends around for @ nickel’s worth of beer, for he knows he will get at least twice as much beer as he could if he went im and called for a glass, even if that glass was a stovepipe. “Yes, the nee is becoming too popular,” he continue: “It injures trade. It’s nothing unusual to see a colored man come in with a tomato can and get 5 cents’ worth of beer. You see, the can holds a quart, and drawing beer in such a vessel is very deceptive. The chances are that the customer gets the best of the bar- gain every time. Well, after making the pur- chase he will step outside on the pavement and drink the contents of the growler, and some- times a man will have the audacity to stand up before the bar and drink the beer he has pur- chased in the can. “There's cheating in all trades but ours,” he said, and then he winked as he told how he sometimes fooled such customers by giving them the drippings from the spigot, “But it’s good beer,” he added, ‘‘only it’s a little stale,” —<——_——__ To ATLANTIC City via BauTrmone AND Oxt0.— Special train leaves Washington depot at 4:30 _ Saturday, August 31, Parlor cars Wash- ington to Philadelphia and parlor cars from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, Thirty miautes will be allowed at Philadelphia depot for supper.

To the Editor of Tux EVENING Star: The text of the opinion rendered by the as- sistant district attorney in reference to the in- tent of the law of the legislative assembly of the District of Columbia giving the prefer- ence to the graduates of the Washington normal school is deserving of some public notice. The law in question was introduced in the council by me while a member of that body and the ig ong of the act were then fully explained. The Washington normal school was established to give to the advanced grammar (we had not thena high school in name, dvanced grammar pupils pursued high school studies) a professional training for serv- ice in the primary schools of this District. Three classes of certificates were then and are after the game pe was compelled to ride back ~ the Continental in astreet car.—Philadelphia n 3 The Young Hoys defeated the Young Ameri- ca'e F saatamipag by the score of 14 to 2, and after- ward won a game from the Red Stars, 12 to 1. ident Young has received the protest of the Philadelphia club against allowing Boston to be credited with Monday's game, He will refer it to the board of directors. Philadelphia plays here tomorrow and Fri- day. Saturday's game is also, of course, sched- uled for this city, but the Philadelphia man- agers are making an effort to have that game played in their city instead of here. The Essex team won from the Mulveys yes- terday by the score of 9 to 3 Boston leads New York 33 points now. These two teams play in New York the latter part of the week. Look out for fun!

The first seven grades were held to be filled by normal pupils as they qualified, as follows: To pass the examination for admission to the normal school was equivalent to a first-class teachers’ certificate. Gradua- tion was equivalent to a second-class certifi- cate, and after teaching one year and demon- strating ability to “govern and instruct a school,” upon the recommendation of the su- perintendents the board granted a normal diploma, which was equivalent to # third-class teachers’ certificate, and which was also re- garded as ample qualifications to teach in the first seven grades. The pupils having gone through all the grades of our schools and be- come ‘familiar with the system and discipline, and having been professionally fitted to teach in our schools, were required to promise at least two years’ service as teachers in the pub- lic schools of the District of Columbia if their services were needed. The graduates of our normal schools are specially prepared to teach in the schools of this district the same as the cadets of West Point and the naval academy to enter our army and navy as officers, All things are not equal, therefore, when others not professionally fitted in our normal schools are appointed to the places that rightly belong to them. There was and is another equally important reason for giving the ae ence to our own normal graduates, viz: Pupils who were bright at studies and showed great aptitude to teach were encouraged to remain in the schools and their nts had reasonable and jest expectations of their employment as teachers should they thus qualify themselves, The normal schools have served asa healthy stimulus to pupils of the high schools. The action of the so far as the colored normal uates are concerned, is unjust to them and ‘njurious to the schools, discounting their own professional schools and allowing individual ference to supplant what » fair interpreta- the law shows is a violation of the law nd the spirit and intent of the rules of the board made and adopted to carry out the law, and does a wrong oe many parents whe have contributed to the support of the schools and mad t sacrifices to. keep their children in the schools.

Politics in W: committee finds itself in an awkward position. Ite chairman, Mr. 8. F. Culbertson, was ap- pointed several months ago to s position in the internal revenue service, with headquarters at Philedelphia, Its secretary, Mr. George T. Leighman, died last fall, while more recently the treasurer of the committee received an appointment in the internal revenue service and ison duty in Baltimore. The committee, therefore, finds itself without a head, and with no one of official authority to call it togother, As the democrats have already called a county convention, it is necessary that this committee should be moving. The only way out of the difficulty which now embarrasses the republican committee is that the members, inclu one representative from each of the twenty-three districts of the county, call the committee by common consent. Alex. R, Hagner, a member of the Washing- ton county bar, has been appointed United States commissioner for the fourth circuit in and for the wnat casa district, to succeed Mr. Albert Small of Hagerstown. A meeting of the citizens of Williamsport and the surrounding country was held last evening to take action with reference to the restoration of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. It was largely attended and was presided over by Victor Cushwa, esq. After s general dis- cussion a committee was appointed to formu- late a call for meetings to be held in each dis- trict of the county to elect ten delegates toa convention to be held in Hagerstown at a date to be hereafter named, to take action toward the restoration of the canal as a water-way. Suits have been entered in the adjoining counties of Franklin and Adams,.Pa,, against the Western Maryland railroad company. The matter to be settled is the right of the western extension of the Western Maryland railroad company to occupy and use without compen- sation the embankments and trucks of the old Tape Worm (Thaddeus Stevens’ road), made fifty years by the commonwealth of Penn- sylvani then abandoned. The right is nied by the land owners and asserted by the company as successors to all the rights of the commonwealth. As the question new and close, affecting other interests besides those directly involved, the course of these suits will be watched with great interest, Mr. Rowland Hoffman, while plowing in « field at Antietam near the old historical Dunk- ard church a day or two ago, unearthed a skel- eton—that of a confederate soldigr. The re- ees were in an excellent state of preserva- ion. The farmers of Washington county can now count on the corn crop to fill up the shortage in their wheat yield. A large percentage of the crop was planted early and is now 80 ma- tured that unfavorable weather would not affect the yield. Reports from every section are fa- vorable for an immense crop.

She was the property of Roderick Dorsey of this county and was sold by him to a rich planter from Georgia, who took her back to that state.
