Many of the market customers this morumg were young ladies, who selected from the choicest fruits, vegetables, &c., to fill their picnic baskets, THE JUDGE AND THE SMALL Boy. This morning Judge Miller inquired of Pros- eenting Attorney Dumont what, if any, action had been taken about allowing the boys the frecdom of the streets tomorrow. Mr. Dumont said he did not know of any action except that Major Moore had said that he wanted to keep the boys out of the woodsheds and back yards as far as possible so as to protect property from fire. He did not say that the police could catch them on the streets easier than they could in the back yards, The judge then re- ferred to the law which prohibits the use of fireworks and asked why it was that the deal- ers were being given permits to sell them. Mr. Dumont said he had also thought of that question. Judge Miller thought that something should be done to notify the boys in advance as to whether they are to be prosecuted or not, so that they could act accordingly. The judge thought that the Commissioners might have inseried in the section of the police regulations probibiting the use of fireworks « provision allowing the discharge of fireworks within cer- tain limits, The lowest penalty, the judge said, is $10. When the cases are ‘brought to the court's attention they of course have to be tried ac- cording to law. ‘There was one case brought under the sec- tion referred to this morning. A boy named Edward Shreves was charged by Policeman Mellen with exploding torpedoes on the street. He plead guilty and the court imposed the lowest penalty, 210 or five days on the farm, THE LIGHT INFANTRY. Arrangements in Progress to go Into Camp at Cape May. The Washington Light Infantry Corps held its regular monthly meeting last night. An invitation from the Shenandoah Valley Agri- cultural Association to attend its annual fair in September was declined with thanks, because the corps would not have time to take such a trip after its summer encampment, Arrange- ments for the corp’s excursion down the Poto- mac on the 15th instant were completed. J. E. Taylor and Thomas F, Evers were elected active members and the name of Dr. Aaron Baldwin was placed on the honorary contributing roll. It is almost certain that the infantry will camp on the awn of the Stockton Hotel at Cape May during the last week in August, The corps favors that place and the committee having that matter in charge is also favorably disposed, The committec. consisting of Capts, Harrison Dingman, Allison Nailor, jr., Andrew Kelly and John Miller and Sergt.

To the Editor of Tue EVENING STAR: In our otherwise beautiful city there are certain nuisances which, for the sake of public comfort and our own reputation, should be abated, The following is one: Nine-tenths of all the litter which accumulates in our streets is caused by the droppings of horses. Owing to the asphalt pavements absorption is impos- sible, the result being that during these sum- mer ‘months this filth is acted upou by the sun, and an exceedingly disagreeable odor pervades the entire atmosphere of the city, penetrating even private residences. The more solid por- tion as it dries and is pulverized by passing vehicles mingles in the air which we are com- pelled to inhale at every breath. Such a state of affairs is a disgrace to Washiugton—and doubly so since it cau be easily rectified. Why not follow the example of coutinental cities and employ a brigade of boys. from ten to fifteen years of age, tor wove these droppings a8 soon as seen? In the usiest thoroughfares of London such boys. paid and controlled by the government, may be seen at ali hours of the day, with brush and shovel in hand, always on the alert to clean up droppings as they occur and carry them to convenient and suit- able receptacles, which in turn are regularly emptied. Besides relieving us of an offensive eyesore such an arrangement would atford employment to at least a part of the army of juvenile lovfers that now floods our city. When this nuisar abated, then let us goa step further and e the streets sprinkled every day —for to sprinkle them in their present con- dition is, with the aid of the heat, only to increase their obnoxions odor. Vv. ee The Potomac Regatta. A business mecting of the governors of the Potomac Boat Club was held last night and seventeen new members were elected.

Every one of them had been stranded at some time or other, and each had known what it meant to be “busted and a Jong way from home." Several stories had been told of how the narrators accomplished their return to New York after their companies had been disbanded in some far western city, leaving them penniless and friendless, Nat- urally they were curious to know how their friend who made the statement that he had traveled free from Omaha to New York suc- ceeded in doing so, and he told them how, “It was sixteen years ago,” he said, “that I! was with a company that was stranded in Omaha, None of us had any money, and we all | were anxious to get back to New York, where | only was there hope of getting another engage: ment. Those who had friends in the east sent for and secured remittances by telegraph, while others. who had none. borrowed if they | could, or pawned their valuables for enough to take them through, I made up my mind that I would get along without borrowing or asking for help from home. It took me acouple of days to perfect a scheme {or traveling to New York, aud on the day I determined to put it im operation I had only €2 to my name. “Tdecided to board the night express for | the east and try the scheme I had studied out. It cost me tifty cents to cross the United States | transfer bridge over the Missouri river to | Council Binffs, It was dusk when I boarded a Rock Isiand train for the east. I had with me only a valise, having left my trunks to be for- | warded by express, Going into the last of the | coaches I proceeded to make myself comfort- | able. Putting ona soft traveling hat I placed in the band what appeared to be a long-distance ticket mace of an old calendar and so folded as to resemble the sectional tickets used then as veral other ped an acquaintance with | three or four of them long before tho train started, being careful that they shonld notice the ticket in my hat. With an old gentleman | who occupied the seat in front of me { became | extremely friendly, and as he was near-sighted | I showed him the foided ticket in my hat and | commented on the cumbersomeness of long- distauce tickets in general. Just before tho train started I opened the window, laid my head upon my arms, which were folded on the window sill, and waited for the conductor, meanwhile feigning sleep. My lett arm hgld the hat upon my head in such’ a way that®a forward motion of the arm would cause it to fall off. “The train was running fast and the night was dark when the cry of ‘tickets’ announced the coming of the conductor. I trembled as the critical moment approached, for the fail- | uro of the scheme ment serious consequences | tome. However, I steadied myself, and when | the conductor reached my seat I was pare p. Idid not hear his em- phatic call of ‘tickets! nor feel him gently touch my shoulder. Then he shook me a little, and still I did not move. Becoming impatient he gave me quite an energetic shake, where- upon I started up, threw my left arm forward and, just as I had calculated, out of the window flew iny hat. I rubbed my eyes sicepily, as if I did not know what had happened, and then pe- n fumbling in my pockets for my ticket. Suddenly L appeared to realize that my hat was cone, “Where's my hat! New York is in my “Your hat fell out of the window,’ said the conductor, ‘but I didn’t see any ticket in the band, Hurry up and search your pockets.’ “I know it was m my hat,’ I declare then began to sco! use he had shaken me so hard as to throw my hat out of the window. At this point the passengers noticed what was going on, and the old gentlcman in front kindly came to my assistance. He had seen the ticket in my hat and knew it was a long-distance ticket from the way it was folded. Three other passengers had noticed my ticket and were | kind enough to tell the conductor so. 1 con- | I cried; ‘my ticket to and hat and ticket. The conductor dida’t feel quite sure yet that I was honest, and tried to bluff me by threatening to put me off the traim if I failed to produce a ticket or pay my fare. “You dare to try it,’ said I, ‘and you'll | deeply regret it. Ican prove by the agent at Omaha that I bought the ticket. and when I get to Chicago {mtend to report this affair and demand a ticket to New York. Perhaps your rudeness in shaking me so hard may get you into trouble, or they may take the price of the ticket to New York out of your wages." ““T’ll see you again when I finish the train,’ said the conductor, wildly, as he left me to continue his work. Ina few minutes he came in again and sat down in the seat with me to ask % few questions, Ieonccaled my identity and told a simple story that I was on my way home to New York atter a brief visit to some Omaha friends, Finally he became convinced that [ was all right, and then told me that be would not like to be reported because he had had some trouble with the suporintendent, and anything might be used asa pretext for bis discharge. ‘To ask for a pass to New York would involve an explanation which might get him into trouble. Would Ibe satistied if be got the conductor on the Pennsylvanis road, that is, the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, to take sne with him and pass me through? I reluctantly consented, and when we got to chieago he made the necessary arrangements, rough in fine style, sleeping in a Pullman the second night, asa courtesy to the rt d of the Rock Island conductor. At Chi- cago my rough friend wanted to buy me a new hat, bat I wouldn't allow that.
