DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH. A Story From Life—A Bet Its Re- sult. On 9th street southeast just below M street, where ashes and refuse matter from stores and dwellings are deposited, and where rag pickers spend hours each day, there lives an elderly colored woman mamed Shorter. Her home ts in a dilapi- dated frame shanty overlooking the dump and low marshy ground adjoining the navy yard property. Part of the house has been torn away, as though the flood had paid an unwelcome visit to the modest little home, where there are not so many indi- cations of poverty and suffering. Although the outward appearances are unfavorable, and the inside fixtures and odor uninviting, there ts a marked degree of happiness in the three rooms, which are occupied by the widow and her large family. When a Star reporter called at the house last evening the rear door leading to the kitchen was wide open, and near the stove, in which there was a red hot fire, was a bed. On this downy couch rested a child of the widow. This child was suffering from an attack of pneumonia, and the mother was doing all in her power to save the sick one | from an early grave, although an older son | had taken his own life with a quart of | whisky. The front door of the house was se..rely fastened against the possible in- Yasin by the successor of the late Mr. | Jackson, otherwise called the “Ghost Kob- George Shorter was the name of Mrs. Shorter’s oldest son. He was born just/ thirty years ago, and had lived at home} with his poor old mother until month be- fore last, when he deserted her humbie little home and went to live in a house in Loudon place, not many squares away. Three or four times a week he visited his mother, and it was to her house that he was carried when he made his last mis- step. That was Friday evening last, when he put a bottle to his mouth and kept it there until a quart of whisky gurgled down his throat. He had made a bet that he could drink two pints of “good licker.” Wanting that particular kind of intoxicant he went to a grocery store in the vicinity of the place where he lived and gave 50! cents of his hard-earned cash for a whole quart. A few minutes later he was asleep on the sidewalk, and fearing he would get arrested, one of his friends dragged him into a hay shed and there he was | left to die. But the man who had sold him that with which he ended his life took | pity on him and had him taken to his mother’s home. He was speechless and | unconscious, and a physician called to his bedside was unable to revive him. His mother was powerless to help him. She had one sick child on her hands, and the excitement caused by * George’s being brought home in so serious a condition | had operated against the sick child's | chances for recovery. And so George had | to be taken to the hospital. His mother | did not have wealth enough to pay for his entrance into one of the city hospitals and | so he had to go to the Washington Asylum Hospital, where the indigent sick are re- | ceived and cared for. To that institution he was taken in one of Sanitary Officer | Frank's ambulances. There he remained for nearly twenty-four hours, and no one | is able to tell the exact minute that he breathed his last. Yesterday morning the mother called at the asylum and was told that her son Would be buried in the afternoon, and,when | during that part of the day a friend called | to witness the interment, he was told that | the body had been placed in the vault. } Butter Prices Take a Tumble. ‘There was a drop in the price of butter Yesterday at the factories in Hl and as is the case, always, I immediately give my Patrons the benefit of the reduction. 40c. | “Elgin” butter now % cents.

THE GINKO TREE Will Probably Be Planted Along the Aven Just at this time the Commis: ners are discussing she «tvisabMity of yl a Tow of trees oa eaci of Pennsy.vania avenue its en‘ire lcrgih. Cap:. Powell brought the matter to the attenticn of the Commissioners at % recent mee of he board and the Commissioners were ail faver- ably inclined. The most important quest'on to settle in connection with this 1s v bat variety of iree is best adapted for ine pur- pose. Pennsylvaaia avenue ty so thorovglly covered that it is difficult for anv moisiure to get through to the roots of the trees. For that reason, the tres, after a few years begin to decay, and « brisk wind blows them down. Capt. Powel proposes to urge, no matter what specie of tree is adopted, to make provision for an ample space around the base and sow grass seed therein. This would give the moisture an opportunity to get through to the roots of the tree and thereby prolong its life. All along the avenue the trees with a very few excep- tions are scraggy in appearance and the Commissioners are daily receiving requests that they be taken away. These complaints have not all been based on the fll appear- ance of the trees entirely. Some mer- chants insisted that the large maples with their over-reaching branches completely ob- secured their places of business and were a nuisance in that they fostered the cater- Pillar. It is the intention of the Commissioners to provide a tree that will combine a tidy breeding place for caterpillars. It is be- lieved that the Ginko tree is the one best suited for the purpose and the parking com- mission has been called upon to submit its views upon the desirability and adapta- bility of the tree for Pennsyivania avenue. Apropos of the pending action, the Com- missioners today received a letter from Mr. George Simmons of 102% Roanoke street northwest, bearing on the subject of the Ginko tree. He say: “It is hardy, thrifty and clear, and for beauty of ramification and foliage cannot be surpassed. It is tall, slender and graceful. In autumn its unique foliage of deep golden tint is most beautiful and attractive, and it is well into winter before it sheds its pretty dress. Some fine specimens of this tree can be seen in the gardens of the Department of Agriculture. It will also be found on Pierce place northwest and on some other of the city thoroughfares. It grows rapidly in any soil and is always of pleasing ap- pearance. By the way, the Ginko is a native of China and Japan (like so many of the beautiful plants that adorn our gardens and lawns) and was introduced into this country by the great financier, Alexander Hamilton, in 1784. The trees then planted by Mr. Hamilton in his country place near Philadelphia are said to be still living. The trees being highly ornamental are now used extensively on lawns, gardens and streets in eve-y part of our country, giving satisfac- tion everywhere.” —_—_s—__— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. 5 A Meeting to Promote the Projected Falls Church Road. Preparations are being inade for a big meeting of those interested in the proposed electric railroad to be constructed from Washington to Falls Church, by way of the town of Ballston.
