To the Editor of The Evening Star Apropos of Mr Baker's remarks in Tuesday's issue, I would like to say that the people of Georgetown are delighted that Mr. John A, Baker can afford to make such a nobie sacrifice for our benefit. His same kind regard for our interests made him secure the charter to build the River, Barge and Dock Company's road to the detriment of the gentlemen who intended to build to * ington and Western” with the assistance they anticipated. When it was found that the noble spirit who is bent on ben faction was in their way an effort was made to join interests. But his wish to collect toll over his short line made this impossible. The Wash- ington and Maryland charter was sold at cost to secure the Buitimore and Ohio's ability to build their road and compensate Mr. Baker for his valuable time and immiense offorts in way of explaining bis interests in Georgetown. When the road is completed the citizens will vote Mr. Baker their most sincere and un- adulterated thanks for his disinterestedness. 1 am not aware 24.biy ever being invited to take the interest in our affairs that he has so kindly shown, A Cirizes oF Gxonoxtowx. eee No Jim Crow Bathing Beach. To the Editor of The Evening Star: While it is not best to rush into print on every occasion, it is high: time now for some one to speak. Your correspondent of last night does not speak for “the majority of colored people,” unless he so considers himeelf. “The majority of colored people” like to feel free to go wherever they choose, without having the fact continually thrust before them that they black and therefore belong in the Jim Crow department. ‘This 1s uot “social equal- ity,” if we understand what is meant by the word “social.” All the colored people want is that unjust discriminations be removed and they be let alone to pursue their own course. ‘Then, when they exceed their privileges handle them as the white offenders of thelaw. Colored Prople have no time to crowd the bathing th and there is no fear of the white people not finding room as usual. We have enough of Jim Crow carson the railroads.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Last week I asked a certain question of Mr. Stevens in reference to the discrimination made at the bathing beach, In last evening's issue the reply came from said gentlema: Two of the main reasons for my asking the question are: First, I find no discrimination made in New York and other places in refer- ence to the free bath houses. The secondarises from the fact that I read ina foreign an account of the supposed negotiations now goin on to annex my native home to this CRANKS, PAUPERS AND TRAMPS. Some of the People That Go to Sanitary Om- cer Frank for Aid. With the opening of Congress come the ‘usual large number of cranke, paupers and per- sons having claims of all sqrts, genuine or imaginary, and during the season many of them fall into the hands of Sanitary Officer Frank. Some of those who come to look after claims are classed among the paupers and be- fore the claim is looked after they have to be sent out of the city on their way home, if they appear worthy of such treatment, and if not they are compelled to tramp it. Some of them land in the work house and be- come permanent residents while with others one term in that institution is enough and they are glad to take the road home Last week Sani- tary Officer Frank had nine cases of lunacy to look after. Two of the unfortunates were non- residents and each bad « peculiar hallucination which brought him in the category of cranks. ‘The others were residents of this city and will be given jury trials to determine the condition of their minds. Last week was also a busy one with non- resident paupers who wanted to be given trans- portation to their homes. -Those who were old and unable to walk were sent part of the way on their journey, while the young. able-bodied men were directed tothe shortest route and the eaviest road to walk to their destination. One sopleent for transportation was an old soldier who came ail the way ‘rom San Fran- cisco to look after his pension, and when he reuched licre he learned that he could not hasten action in bis case. He was sent part of the way home Then there were several vic- tims of the oyster dredgers, as published at the time, who were tenderiy cared for and sent on their way rejoicing. Tho genuine tramps who have infested the city rec lated in Tux Stam a week Ago, Gre not so numerous as they were at that time, as many of them have been taken into court by the police and either sent to the work house or given time to get out of town. The time in each instance was only a few hours, and it is unreceasary to stute that thoy stood not upon the order of their going. amped casei THE COUKTS.

Prof, Garner Takes Simian Small Talk With 2 Big Phonograph Prof. Robert I. Garner, the enthusiastic ad- mirer of the monkey tribe and the man who is making investigations into the monkey lan- Guage with the use of a big phonograph, re- turned to New York yesterday morning from Bridgeport and made another trial with bia machine at the monkey house in Central Park. ‘Mr. Garner has been interviewing Barnum & Bailey's exhibits and he says he has made some extra good registerings. Yesterday morning he spent nearly three hours with Jake Cook and his pets. The monkeys were remarkably talkative, and Mr. Garner's phonograph took some good impressions. He returned to Washington last night aud he will make other experiments. From here he goes to the Cincinnati zoo and several others in the west. He leaves for Africa via London, Marseilles and the Caxary Islands the middle of this month to pursue siill further his investigations, His idea is to make com- parisons, with the aid of his phonograph, be- tween the vocabulary of the Americanized monkey and the monkey in its wild and un- tamed state. oo An Attempt Which Nearly Scared Three of Them to Fits, Acting on the advice of United States Attor- ney D. 8. Alexander of Buffalo Acting Secretary Spaulding recently instructed the collector of customs at Buffalo, Ogdensburg, Suspension Bridge and Piatteburg, N Y., to cause photo- graphs to be taken of all Chinamen arrested for unlawful entry into the United States from Canada. It is expceted in this way to establish & positive identification of Chinamen who re. turn to this country after having once been de- ported to Canada. Yesterday Lee Yick, Yan Bow and Lee Lok, three Chinamen who have been in jail at Lock- port N-¥.. for the past month, were ordered ack to Canada by Commissioner Pound. They were the first victims of the camera, and Dep- uty United States Marshal Tom Weave: and his assistants had a circus in obtaining the pic- tures. Lee Lick thought he was about to be exe- cuted and howled like a heathen when the lens was shot on him. It took four officers to hold him. His companions heard his yells and thought they were about to be tortured. ‘An interpreter was sent for and explained the matter. Then the Chinamen made grim faces and twisted their countenances into all sorts of contortions. LATE NEWS FROM HAWAII.

SAT THE BASE BALL SITUATION. Consolidation Depends on the League Buy-, ing Off Three Association Clubs. ‘The association was to have met in Indian- apolis yesterday morning, but owing to the non-arrival of their representatives of Boston, Baltimore and Washington the meeting was postponed until 2 o'clock. It was three o'clock in the afternoon before the association got down to business, and the session was very brief. Chris Von der Ahe made a short speech, urging the association to consolidate with the league. When he had fin- ished his remarks Von der Ahe moved the elec- tion by ballot of & committee of three to con- fer with the league committee. President Williams of Chicago objected to this method and wanted the power of appoint- ment given to President Pheipa. This was everruicd and the Chicago man submitted. The committee named were Von der Abe of St. Louis, Vonderhorst of Baltimore and Elliott of the Athletics. ‘The icague did not have a fall representa- tion until late in rhe afternoon aud ite meeting was deferred to 7 o'clock. Nick Young John I, Rogers A. J. Reach, A. H. Soden and W. H. Conant were all delayed. They arrived, how- ever, in time for the mecting. At midnight the league was still in session. The subject under discussion was the report of Brush, iiobinson and Lyrne, the special com- mittee to which was lett the arrangements of a plan for consolidation. This committee met reprosentatives of the jon in St. Louis one week ago and two pl of the settlement of affairs were agreed upon. Both, it is understood, embody the twelve plan, the points of difference being in Tegard to the disposition of piayers and the scheme of a graded salary scheduie. ‘The Columbus, Chicagoand Milwaukee Clubs will each ask a big bonus for stepping down and ont. ‘ihe general feeling is that if the league accepts its committee 8 proposition in the purchsse price of the three clubs matters will be settled, otherwise the twelve-club league plan will have to be abandoned 4 FATHER'S SAD RETURN.

Freda Biack, aged thirty-four years, the wife of Max Black, a Polander, and their four-year- old son were the unfortunates who were brutally murdered for » few paltry dollars. Max Black, the husband, left his home shortly before 7 o'clock in the morning to go to work. He returned at 6:30 in the evening and was surprised to find the door of his apart- ments locked. Repeated knocking failed to gain him admission, and, finally,suspecting that all wax not right, he burst open the door. A horrible sight met his gaze.

New Orleans yesterday changed its fire ex- tinguishing system and the board of control of the old volunteer department turned over the apparatus, engines, &c., to the commissioners of the paid department. The system has been entirely volunteer since April, 1824, when » company was organized in a cotton press. It went through the order of bucket brigade and hand engines, and at last reached a fine degree of efficiency with modern engines and most im- proved apparatus. Recently the council de- cided to place the town under a paid depart- ment, and, purchasing the property of the old system, formed the organization which went into effect yesterday. ‘The last twenty-four hours’ existence of the volunteer department was marked by inde- fatigable labor and by a sad casualty. M. Socaler, oue of the largest jewelers in the south, was burned out Monday night, the fire being caused by an electric wire coming in contact with paper ornamentation on the ceil- ing. Most of the stock wae saved, but the loss will exceed $5,000. break yesterday morning the bells sounded an alarm, which brought the depart- ment to the four-story brick building 56 South Peters strect. ‘The wind was blowing hard and made fire fighting o hard task. Chief of the Department O'Connor was in charge and was directing Matthew Hannon, a hoseman of Co- lumbia, "No. 5, who was playing @ stream of water on the fire. The chief took the brass nozzle and continued pumping on the blazing debris, while Hannon went to recover his hat, which’ bad blown off. About this time a tel- ephone wire fell and hung down in the door- way. The chie’ paid no attention to it and continued pumping. Suddenly he struck the wire with the stream. ‘The water proved to be an excellent conductor, for a current of elec- tricity ran down the stream and the bri nozzle and through the chief. The telephone was crossed with an electric light wire. The chief for a few seconds was stunned. Meantime Hannon had secured his hat and camo back to continue his fight on the fire. Un- conscious of his danger he bounded to the iof's side and as he did so the swinging wire struck him on the shoulder. He cried, “Oh, God!” and threw out his arms, The wire wang away from him, but rebounding came in contact with Hannon’s lef: arm. ‘The un- fortunate man shrieked once more and then, 4s if to throw the deadly wire from him, he graxped it with both hauds, and without a moan fell face downward, dead. One thousand people saw Hannon die, and the ordeal was so terrible that the firemen were for a time de- moralized. New Tin Plate Works Near Baltimore.

Returns From the Election Indicate In- ereased Democratic Pluralities. Boston, Lynn, Worcester and Newburyport held municipal elections yesterday. In Boston the re-election of Mayor Nathan Matthews, jr., was looked upon as certain The republican candidate was the Hon.Horace G. Allen, ex-president of the common council. The prohibitionists nominated Samuel B. Shap- leigh, a well-known merchant of Boston. The campaign was conducted quietly, but the re- turns indicate that larger total vote has been polled than last year, and that Mayor Mat- thews has been re-elected by an increased plu- rality. Only about 140 precincts out of 205 have yet been figured up, and judging by these returns Mayor Matthews’ plurality will be not Jess than 14,000, as against 12,253 last year. The principal interest contcred in the alder- manic contests. From present indications the Lourd of aldermen will equally divided or possibly stand seven republicans to five demo- crats. The make-up of the common council cannot yot be foretold. There were ten mem- bers of the school board voted for, eight to serve three years, one to serve two years and ‘one to serve one year. One of the candidates was Miss Alice T. M. Miller, colored, nominated by the republicans. In all there were nineteen nominations made for school board vacancies, the various nomi- nees being indorsed by republicans, democrats, women voters, prohibitionists and’ the public school union. a HAD THE GIKLS’ SUPPORT.

A Tribute to the Matured Female by One ‘Who Has Studied Her, From the Troy Press. At forty, if ever, the ladies know how to make the most of themselves, which is untrue of the vast majority in the twenties. Perhaps at no other age is the best type of woman more strikingly beautiful. She understands how to exercise her gifts and charms in most effective fashion. The grace of perfect self-possession, often wanting in young women, is hers If she was diffident, awkward and inexperienced, contact ith society hae removed these imperfections. {f she was gushing, emotional, affected and too talkative, she has corrected these faults and is warily winsome where before she was positively wenrisome. In the normal evolution of taste she has acquired the rare art of dressing fault- lessly and so avoiding the detracting infelisities of earlier years, Her selections of style, color and material harmonize with her figure, com- plexion and the occasion, and she doesn't look ‘a day over thirty.” The woman of forty is infinitely more av- tractive to men than she will be in later life, when her fine complexion fades, wrinkles leave their year-marks acrossherbrow, silver threads her glossy hair, her eyes lose their luster and her step its sprightliness. She may always be agreeable, but never again so fascinating. ‘The woman of forty! She is distracting, de- lightful, diviney Her society is a solace which robs remembrance of all remorse and poverty of all pain. The spell of her dark, depthless eyes wakens latent emotions into ecstatic life, while the music of her yoice thrills and fills the soul with joy unspeakable. Grace, good- pessand gentleness supplement the rare and ravishing of face and figure, and her welcoming smile is s precious beside which wealth and and lomsare but tute of har’ bissutaga bas ‘Destentes er jueathed to man aught else so istetianing aoe incomparable as woman of forty. ——_<oo— ‘They Favor Using Force for Ireland.

A Strange Case Which Will Be Settled by the Chancery Court. Avcase which has been pending over five years is at last to be decided by the New Jersey court of chancery. On the afternoon of August 29, 1886, five boys—Charles Fox, Thomas Fox, Robert Devine, William Cashman and William Crawford, the latter a New Yorker—were stroll- ing home along the Pennsylvania railroad at Elizabeth, after being swimming in the Eliza- beth river, when they came upon a bali of rags as large a8 a child's head, which was lying alongside the track. Young Crawford picked it up, but a moment later threw itaway. Then Cashman ran after it, brought it back and the boys began pelting each other with it. Growing tired of this sport ‘one of them suggested that it be opened to sce what was insida. Cashman cut the cords bind- ing the ball together, and to bis astonishment and that of his companio: interior was found to be composed of bank notes, mostly one and two-doliar bills. The lade ran home with their prize, and Mrs. Fox took the treasur> to Chief Keron, accompanied by all the The money was given to him for safe keeping Until an owner could be found. Mr. Keron counted the money and found £775, Posited it under seal in the First National Bank at Elizabeth, and advertised extensively in all tho New York and New Jersey papers for tue owner. Numerous applicants appeared, but none of them could describe correctly the contents of the ball. tion who was entitled to the find. Crawford's father insisted that it all belonged to because the latter first discovered ti Crawford was on a short vinit to bis cousins,the Foxes, and that waa how he happened to be present. The other boys all stoutly disputed the Crawford claim, they insisting that ashe threw the bail away he had forfeited his right tothe whole of the money. The parents of Cashman claimed that hus title to the money was the best, he having cut the ball and picked it upafter Crawford thew away hisluck. They were wiiling, however, to have an equal division between tho five lads, but Crawford's father would not consent, he demanding ail or none, and he engaged Lawyer Heltield of Jlainfeld to push his claim. ‘The Elizabeth boys secured Senator Marsh and Mr. Keron eng: counsel. ‘The matter was taken to the cour chancery, and on Monday Chancellor MeGill ordered Mr. Keron to turn the disputed treasure over to the court of chancery. ‘This was done yesterday, Senator Marsh taking the money to ‘Trenton. ‘The whole matter has been turned over by the chancellor to Vice Chancellor Van Vliet at Newark, who will take testimony as to the Particulars of the finding of the money and make a final disposa! of it. The probabilities are that after the court of chancery and the lawyers engaged in the case get their fees there will be precious little left for whomsoever shall be adjudged to be entitled to the money. +e —__—_ The Federation of Labor Convention.
