AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Prospects of a Railroad Extension to Falls Church. BREEZY AND BEAUTIFUL. Bay Ridge and the Many Striking Im- provements There. A pleasant party of newspaper men ran down to Bay Ridge Saturday afteruoon as the guests of District Passenger Agent S. B. Hege of the Baltimore and Ohio ratl- Whe Route Partly Graded—Two Girls road, and spent several delightful hours Escape From the Reform School—Notes. ‘Woodbridge and Turner, the new owners of the Washington and Arlington Railroad Company, are making preparations to ex- tend their road to Falls Church from a point pear Fort Myer, over the route laid out in 1876 by Voss, the northerner, who contem- Plated the building of a narrow-gauge road to the point now in question. The route for @ long distance has already been graded. This morning laborers, under the direction of Mr. Harry Phillips, the company’s agent here, began the work of laying off, grading apd excavating for the large L-shaped frame depot that is to be constructed near the road’s aqueduct terminus. It is also contempiated, it is said, by those acquainted with the movements of the promoters, to establish a power house in Virginia and give up the idea of getting the motive power from Georgetown, as has heretofore been done. The great desire of the company, however, is to get a direct connection by way of the Aqueduct bridge piers, through the construction of a side railroad bridge. These projected operations have had a splendid effect on real estate dealers in ia property. Flattering offers have Within the past few days been made for real estate along the proposed line and extension. The new depot now being pre- pared for will be used principally for storing the cars and office purposes. Woodbridge and Turner’s purchase of the Washington aud Arlington road has been ratifled by the court. They Have Escaped. At about 4:30 o'clock tits morning two fmmates of the Girls’ Reform School, on the upper Conduit road, made thcir escape from the house of retention. Louisa Harrison was one and Lucinda Gilmore the other. Both are colored, the former light brown, tall and slender, the latter somewhat dark- er and short and stout. Their ages are fourteen and sixteen, respectively. They were both attired in checked dresses of light shades. ‘The cook at the reform school is suspected of having assisted the girls to escape. It would have been next to impossi- bie for them to have. gotten out of the building without inside help. Once out-of the big house, the walls were climbed and liberty reached. Louisa Harrison formerly lived on New Jersey avenue and Lucinda Gilmore on M street between 9th and 10th. They re- flected no credit upon the communities in which they moved. Children’s Day. The children, teachers and friends of the Tenleytown Baptist Church crowded that house cf worship yesterday at 3 p.m. to listen to the children’s exercises. Plants and flowers in profusion decorated the ehureh. A large liberty bell of daisies, which hung from a rod in the center of the room, and a cross of honeysuckle on the piatform were particularly admired. The music was under tne direction of Mr. Thompson, and the children’s exercises un- der the direction of Mrs. G. W. McCullough, the wife of the pastor. The following, who participated, did especially weil: Lottie Payne, John King, May Schaffer, Virgie Harding, Lena Thompson, Eugenie Houser, Myrtle Phillips, Cora Balding, Delia Houser, Annie Wendell, Regenia Harding, Crissie Thompson, Beil Bykes, Matti King, For- rest Yowle, Ethel Burrows, Maggie Thomp- son, Annie Hunter, Bessie Houser, Viola Burroughs, Nettie Trail, Leroy MeCobb, Annie McCobb, Mollie Wendell and Etta Hurley. In the evening the pastor admin- istered the rite of baptism before an inter- ested congregation. Yesterday was alsc children’s day at the West Street Presby- terian and the Congress Street M. P. Churches. Paragraphs. A musical and literary entertainment and} competitive drill of the Boys’ Brigade will be held this evening at the Peck Memorial Chapel, 28th and M streets, the branch of Covenant, which, through the efforts of the Rev. Alvin Smith, has become so popular among the young people. While standing on the corner of 34th and M streets Saturday night about 11 o'clock Frederick Anderson, a resident of Alexan- dria, was struck on the head with a brick thrown by some unknown party. His skull was severely injured and a condition next to one of senselessness bors tg 2 was taken to the Emergency Hi ital repairs. ¢ The pulpit of the German Lutheran Church here was yesterday occupied by the Rev. L. M. Kuhns, D. D., who will officiate as pastor until the Rev. Geo. Nixdorf'’s suc- cessor is appointed. Capt. Wilson of the Western High School Cadets entertained his men on Saturday evening at his home on Q street. a COXEY BACK CAMP. With Browne and Jones He is Drag- ged in Triam The leaders of the Commonweal of Christ, who have been undergoing twenty days’ im- prisonment in the Washington jail, were re- leased from custody yesterday. There was no demonstration at the jail, Messrs. Coxey, Brown and Jones being driven quietly to the National Hotel, where the first-named was met by his wife. In the afternoon Oklahoma Sam drove the party out to the Coxey camp near Highlands. At the District line the conveyance was met by about two hundred of the more enthusiastic commonwealers, who removed the horses from the vehicle and drew Mr. Coxey and his right and left bowers to the Staegmaier place in triumph. During the day Carl Brown treated the address so familiar to the ears of those who heard it and Coxey also made a few remarks. The latter ex- Pressed himself in his usual confident strain about the eventual result of his movement, | and announced that he had made arrange- ments to speak at many different points | throughout the country, for which he would Teceive substantial remuneration, and said that with the proceeds derived from this fource he would provide for the supply of the commissary. There have been contri- butions of cash and provisions received during the past few days, and the character of the food supply is somewhat improved in quality as well as quantity. Coxey insists that the men who are ranged under his ban- rer will remain in the vicinity of Washing- ton until next winter, or longer, if the bills of which he is the author are not acted upon in the meantime. He asserts that many recruits are on their way to this city, | and that a big demonstration will be heid | by the commcnweal in Washington on July | 4. The Galvin contingent is camped half a| mile from the Coxey encampment. Galvin | said yesterday that his men would never return to Camp Bastile. The commonweal | leaders reminded him, he said, of a lot of | fakirs at a circus, and had he known as| ™uch of them when he first started out as he did now he never would have come here | Joining them.

Those familiar with the portion of the Chesapeake coast upon whose sandy bluff Bay Ridge is situated find it hard to believe that such a transformation has been effected in a few thort years, but the result is only another proof of what wise foresight wiil accom- pligh when assisted by a lavish expenditure of money. While every year has seen many improvements added to the enterprise, those of the past few months have served to wonderfully increase the already notable attractions of the rescrt, and Bay Ridge }the Breezy is now equally deserving of being called Bay Ridge the Beautiful. Last October and November violent storms spent their fury on the Chesapeake coast, and were angriest at Bay Ridge, but the havoc they wrought only served to make the spot more cttractive in the improvements they caused. Another storm came along three or four weeks ago and did much damage, but this also resulted in what will be to the ad- vantage of the thousands of visitors this summer, as the repairs which it demanded led to the suggestion of still further pleas- ant additions to the comforts and con- veniences that abounded, and consequently Bay Ridge is now as nearly perfect in its appointments as a public resort well can be. Mr. C. E. Woolford, the wide awake and energetic manager of the resort, took Mr. Hege and his guests in charge upon their arrival and introduced them to the thousand and one forms of amusement which ha been provided for the delectation of the multitudes who will be patrons during the coming months. The new panorama ts destined to become a popular feature, as it deserves. It is a very large affair, and by means of fifty electric lights visitors will be treated to @ view of innumerable lovely pictures, in- cluding striking scenes from the world’s fair and the San Francisco mid-winter ex- Position, while the historical program will coritain reproductions of all the inaugural parades held in Washington since Lincoln's first. The herd of riding horses, the‘ fa- mous Chincoteague ponies, has been in- creased, and the race tracks having been moved up nearer to the carousal will make riding even more popular than it has been heretofore. It would bewilder one to begin to recite the numerous forms of healthful amusement which have been provided; but it must not be imagined that the tastes of pleasure seekers alone have been catered to by the management. Thou- sands of people will zo to Bay Ridge in the future, as they have in the past, to spend a } day in quiet rest and invigorate their dust- filled city lungs with the glorious pure air that wafts in upon the cool breezes of the Chesapeake, ‘and the comforts for such pa- Mea have been provided with a prodigal hand. The lawns skirting the main building fronts have been greatly improved and beautified and now glisten with green sod, with brilliant beds of flowers scattered here and there through them. A new roof has been placed upon the immense cafe, which has been also increased in size, and the kitchens have been remodeled so as to per- mit of great improvement in the rapid serv- ing of meals. In the matter of the cuisine, Manager Woolford has recognized its im- portance, and the improvement in the menu and the manrer in which it fs served is worthy of special comment. Last year the employment of young wcmen as waitresses was tried as an experiment, but this seasoa colored men of long experience in the busi- ness are engaged, and as the best hotels in the country have been ransacked for their best servants, a corps of quick, energetic, intelligent and polite waiters has been se- cured. There carrot be too much praise given to the cuisine Itself. Soft-shell crab, fried chicken and sea trout dinners will be- come favorite means of attracting congenial parties of good livers to Bay Ridge, if the other visitors to the resort are affected like the newspaper men were. The cooking is excellent, and the attention all that could be desired, while the pleasure of enjoying such a repast, virtually out of doors, en- hances its zest. Of course, everything ‘is in readiness for the hosts of bathers who will seek the bay for a plunge into its reirivigorating waters. ‘The bathing houses are all new and equipped with all the latest comforts, while an en- rely new set of suits has been purchased. The storms of last fall and this spring had the effect of making the beach wider, and, of course, this wili prove a splendid im- Provement for the crowds of water lovers. Altogether Bay. Ridge is a perfect waterside Paradise, and the tired out and dissatisfied will find new strength and new spirits — its breezy and beautiful surround- THE POLLOCK KINDERGARTEN, - The severteenth annual commencement of the Kindergarten Normal Institutes, which have reached such an enviable de- gree of excellence under the direction of Mrs. Louise and Miss Susie Pollock, will be held In All Souls’ Chuch on the evening of | June 13, when a most entertaining program will be carried out by the scholars. The ex- ercises will consist of songs and plays, such as are ised in the daily routine of the pupils, and a number of excellent es- says upon subjects connected with the kin- ergarten system will be delivered. Judge Arthur MacArthur will confer the diplomas upon the graduating class, which consists of Mary Edith Baldwin, Iowa; Mary How- ard Bayly, Maryland; Eilen Fannie Burden, England; Emma Eugenia Calvert, Mary- land; Mrs. L. M. Cleveland, South Dakota; Edith Elisabeth Daskam, ‘District of Co- lumbia; Bertha Emma Enderle, District of Columbia; Frances Virginia Fisher, Dela- | ware; M.

Thomas Tibbetts, a cabman, Who keeps a small store on N street southeast near New Jersey avenue, is under arrest on a charge | of having used a hatchet on the head of a man named Peter H. Alvey, who lives only a few squares away from the little store kept by the cabman. Alvey’s wife hus been clerking in Tibbetts’ store, Alvey objected to his wife's employment in the little store, and on more than one occasion, it is said, he had created trouble there. Saturday night Alvey called at the store to see Tib- betts, and a fight was the result. Tibbetts The River City Threatened With aSerions Coal Famine. Many Items of General and Local In- terest to Everybody—Social and Personal Happenings. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the eity council will be held tomorrow night, when business of importance to the city will be brought up. Quite a shug sum was realized by the entertainment under the auspices of the Columbia Fire Company on Saturday night, which will materially aid the boys in their trip to Hagerstown on the lth in- stant. The Baker Dramatic Company ren- dered “The Confederate Spy” in a very creditable manner. Despite the warm weather of yesterday the congregations in the various churches were fairly large and for the first time in many weeks the resident rectors officiated. At the Northern and Southern Methodist churches last night the annual children’s services were held. There were music and recitations and addresses by the pastors. The chancels were prettily decorated with flowers and potted plants. The town has again been flooded with “green goods” circulars, offering big in- ducements on account of the hard times. Several prominent merchants have received these confidential letters inclosing what is supposed to be a clipping from a New York newspaper showing how impossible it is to convict one for passing this money. They also give directions as to how the money can be gotten. The Alexandria Athletics were beaten in a game of ball at Rockville on Saturday afternoon by the Rockville team, the score being 15 to 5. These teams will play an- other game at Riverside Park on Thursday next. The cars of the electric road were crowded to their fullest capacity yesterday with people from Alexandria and Washington who desired té get the cool breezes of the country. All day long they went to River- side Park and Mount Vernon, Special cars were run to the latter place for the ac- commodation of those who did not wish to go into the rush at Riverside Park. Many Washingtonians visited Old Christ Church, the Marshall Hoi and other points of hig interest in and around Alexan- ria. Mrs. John Strider, wife of the well-known “Capt. John,” ticket agent at the W. and O. depot, died at her residence in this city | last night, after an illness of a few weeks. The police authorities here have been asked by John L. Clark, station keeper of the third precinct in Washington, to be on the lookout for two men, who entered the store of Jos. Erches, on the corner of 7th and K streets northwest, Washington, and stole a suit of clothes and other articles. Peter Hoy and Ed. Dean were quite badly hurt while playing ball on Saturday afternoon. They both started after a “fly” ball at the same time and collided with such force that Mr. Dean was knocked senseless and Mr. Hoy was badly cut about the head and face. Both are up and about today, though badly bruised up. Much complaint is made that the River ‘View steamers, though adve-tised to do so, do not stop here with any degree of regu- larity. Crowds are often left on the wharf as the steamers glide swiftly by. Application has been made for the forma- | tion of another council of the Junior Order United American Mechanics in this city. and about thirty men have signified <heir intention of joinirg. The Mount Ve-non regents attended ser- vices at old Pohick Church yesterday Rev. S. A. Wallis preached an excellent sermon, St. Mary's Academy will close for the session on the 24th instant. What the manufacturers are going to do for coal is now the question that is agi- tating the minds of the business men of this city. Not a single boat load of coul has come in for many weeks, and from what can be learned, there will not b2 >ne for many more. The supply in the various coal yards is becoming exausted, and the mer- chants only sell to these with whom they have contracts. Some of the plants‘ have now commenced to burn wood and more will do so as soon as their limited supply is exhausted. Many large vessels are around waiting to go to Georgetown to load with coal for other ports, but the captains say that there is no coal in sight and they have no advices of any on the way. There were twenty cases“6f the usual Sat- urday night and Sunday drunk and di orderly conduct tried before the mayor this morning, and fines ranging trom two to ten dollars were assessed against them. David Middleton and Hcnry Campbell, two negro dudes from Washington, who were trying to clean up Oronoco street’ by fast driving In a fix they had brought from Washington.were fined $19 and $5, respectively. Five keepers of houses of ill-fame were fined $5 each for selling be+r without a license. The health officer started on his rounds again this morning. He will take in th first and third wards. awe Cards are out for the rarrii of Miss Virgie Price, daughter of Mr. ba Price, and Mr. Jas. R. Thompson. The ceremony will take place on the 19th instant at the Fifth Baptist Church in Washington. ——__ A Window Smasher. Tomorrow morning in the Police Court @ colored boy about sixteen years old, who is variously known as William Henderson, William Twine, John Wilson and a dozen other names, will be arraigned on four charges of burglary. The boy is an alleged window smasher, and his errest, the police think, will explain a number of robberies that have been committed recently. ‘The boy who has so many names was arrested about 2 o'clock Friday morning at the store of John H. Magruder, on Connecticut avenue, where he smashed a large plate glass window. A woman saw the act com- | mitted and made a report of the occur- rence. When the boy smashed the window with his hatchet he disappeared from the place and was seen to enter an alley in the neighborhood. Policeman Keleher and Pri- vate Watchman Trammell, who went to investigate the case, were satisfied that the boy would return to get in the store or take something through the hole he had made in the glass, and so they waited. In less than an hour’s time the boy appeared, and feeling satisfied that there was no one about to watch him, he started toward the store, and then the officers arrested him, finding on him the hatchet with which he broke the window. After his arrest and incarceration Pre- cinct Detective McGlue went to work on the case and has now succeeded in tracing the prisoner to Abbott's store, Brown's store, corner of 20th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, and Burns’ grocery store, near Georgetown, where similar burglaries were committed. There was a similar rob- bery committed at O’Leary’s saloon and is lame and could not move about without trouble, and, being umable to defend him- self with his fists, he used a hatchet on Alvey’s head, and the wound was of a nature that required his removal to the Emergency Hospital! for treatment. The blade of the hatchet struck alvey’s fore- head and, it was thought, peneirated the brain. Policemen Smith and M:Kie ar- rested Tibbetts, and had him in the Police Court this morning. The case was contin- ued to await the result of Alvey’s injury. This morning he was resting easy. eS C. T. Caxmnon’s WIL. Saturday afternoon a copy cf the will of the late Calvin T.

The Junior Christian Endeavorers of the District are planning some very practical work for the coming summer. They have in mind the establishment of a “Children’s Country Home," which shall be supported by the contributions of the members of Junior Christian Endeavor Societies in this city. Since there are about 32 of these so- cleties, with a total membership of over 1,000, the home will doubtless receive the support necessary to make it the success which its object deserves. The plan in de- tail is to rent and furnish a house at some | point in the country near to the city, where poor children can be sent for a vacation. A | competent matron will be put in charge, and she will be assisted from time to time by the various young ladies who are super- intendents of junior societies of Christian Endeavor. The promoters of the scheme have ar- ranged for an entertainment to be given at the Lutheran Memorial Church, Monday evening, June 18, at 8 o'clock. The funds procured from this source will doubtless be sufficient to put the enterprise upon a good financial basis, and the balance of the money necessary to support the institution will be secured from contributions. —— Kindergarten Teachers Graduate. The graduating class of 1894 of the Eliza- beth Peabody Kindergarten Normal School held its commencement in the parlors of Mrs. Louisa Mann, the principal of the echool, on Saturday evening. Miss Mary E. Doolittle read an essay on “Modeling and Drawing in the Kin rten;” Miss M, El- len Stuart, one on the “Development of the Child Through and Miss Faith Tyler on “Kteligious Influence.” ‘The dergarten songs, with movement plays. A specially interesting feature of the exhibi- tion was a direction lesson in paper folding, the audience serving as pupils, each mem- urday.

Irrepressible Arlie Latham made himself heard once or twice Saturday afternoon at National Park. The Cincinnati third base-j man was happy, for his club won the third game of the series from Washington, and it deserved to win, for not a club in the league would have been able to overcome the perfect flelding of the Porkopolitans. Chamberlain pitched for Cincinnati and was so well supported that only four hits were made; but, on the other hand, Comiskey’s men had no diffculty in securing fifteen hits off Petty and Mercer, who succeeded him in the seventh inning. The features of the game were the fielding of Shortstop Smith and the sensational catche® by Mc- Carthy and Holliday, the latter saving three runs by his catch of Cartwright’s Jong fly.

The St. Louis Browns arrived in the city yesterday and, after a good rest, will un- doubtedly make Washington work for the victory this afternoon. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. Earl Wagner in Philadelphia on Saturday. Tommy Dowd’'s many friends in this city wil! doubtless give him a warm welcome. Former Washington players are to be found in nearly every league club. Mackenste’s Batting Won It. The second championship game of the series with Yale was played Saturday after- Poon on the Princeton grounds. Bradley pitched for Princeton the first five innings. He gave five men bases on balls, and Alt- man was substituted in the sixth or Altman pitched a strong game to the end. Mackenzie's battirg was the prominent feature of the game. He made two home runs, with a man on base each time. Score: R.H.E. 090020200 x468 Princeton Yale .... 9010000160-275 Brown Beats Harvard.

The ffty-second annual games of the New York Athletic Club were held at Travers Island, near New York, Saturday afternoon. Unveual interest was attached to the games by the competition of Yale men who are to go to England shortly to meet the Oxford cracks. The Yale men were Capt. O. A. Hickok, E. H. Cady, J. A. Morgan, A. Pond, G. F, Sanford and L. P. Sheldon, and a number of lesser lights. Pond and Sheldon, how- ever, were the only Yale winners, the for- rer winning the 44-yard handicap, and the latter the 220-yard hurdle handicap. The one-mile relay race was most ex- citing, and resulted in the breaking of the record, the time being 3 minutes 242-5 sec- | onds. The previous record was 3 minutes 25 4-5 seconds, held by Harvard. , The race was between the Boston and the New York Athletic Clubs. The first pair to run were H. C. Hubb, New York, and T. F. Keene, Boston. Keene finished one yard ahead. The race was then taken up by F. Rowe, Boston, and 8S. K. Gera New York. Gerard passed Rowe and finished a yard ahead. Next came tee 29 Sands, New York, end F. W. Lord, ston. Sands finished six yar ead. E. W. Allen, New York, and S. W. Mer- rill, Boston, then came on to finish. Mer- rill strove hard and reduced New York's lead to three yards at the finish. Putting the sixteen-pound shot was interesting, on account of O. A. Hickok, captain of the Yale team, who took second place, beating his intercollegiate record of forty-two feet, made two weeks ago, by nine inches. This is far ahead of the Oxford record. In throwing the sixteen-pound hammer, Hickok increased his record made at the intercollegiate games from 123 feet 9 inches to 125 feet 1 inch. Summaries: Seventy. Seidler, N . C., 9 feet, won; A.

Correction’s Fine Race. __ A finer day and a faster track could not have been desired for Saturday’s racing at Morris Park, and the excellent card brought out a large attendance. The chief interest was in the Toboggan Slide handicap, in which some of the best sprinters in America were engaged. Only two of the fifteen col- ored on the card declined the issue, and these were Wah Jim and Derfargilla. There was a long delay at the post, but Rowe finally got them off in good orcér, and Cor- “THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1894-TWELVE PAGES, them along to the quarter pole in 1-4 seconds, and to the half in 451-2, and had «very one digging in their toes at that point. Littlefield then took an easy pull on the mare, and she galloped home an easy winner in 1.101-2. In the last twenty yards Stonenell shot out of the bunch and challenged Roche for the place, but lost it by the shortest of heads. It was a beautiful contest. H FRIDAY’S BOAT RACE. | Cornell's Eight Not Up te the Stand- ard—Px yivania Con! it. ; The Cornell crew arrived at Torresdale, | Pa., from Ithaca yesterday morning and j were met at the railway station by the Penngylvania crew and others. They were | at once shown to their headquarters, which | adjoin the boat house and sleeping quarters of the Pennsylvania crew. The men, as well as Trainer Courtney, expressed them- selves pleased with the accommodations provided for them and the courteous wel- come they received. Courtney sa} “My men are far behind what the crews of for- mer years have been, and I have been com- pelled to make a number of changes. They | have got up to thirty-six strokes @ minute, | and Robbins has urged them up to thirty- ,elght, but I think the stroke will not be | forced beyond thirty-six, as they could not keep it up for four miles.” The Pennsyl- ¥ania crew also rested for the day. The _ Steam launch was out on the Schuylkill during the afternoon. It will be taken over to Torresdale this afternoan. The men are exceedingly confident that they will win the four-mile race on Friday. Crack College Shots. Yale and Princeton were the only colleges Tepreser.ted in the intercollegiate shoot Saturday morning. Princeton won (by score of 130 to 112, thus winning the silver cup offered by the Forest and Stream to the best college team. —-——_- ees —_____ Violating the Fishing Laws. ‘To the Edftor of The Bvering Star: I have conversed with a large number of anglers and others interested in protecting our fish supply, and find # unantmous senti- ment in favor of strictly enforcing the pen- alties of the law. Not only that, but they are keeping up a big thinking why the law has hot been car-ied out during this season, since ‘It’ passage early this spring. It-is well Known that a seine has been drawn nearly all the time at some point in the District, between darkness and daylight, during the fishing season, and many thous- ; and fish, which had escaped the network of the lower Potomac, taken and sold in the streets and markets of qur city; and fur- ther, one has only to go to Little Falls to witness the violation of the laws daily, and where on Sunday last, I am informed, there were eight violators at work at one time, and a gentleman and anglér from this city, who remonstrated, came very near being annihilated by the hoodiums, who seem to be in power in that neighborhood, instead of the police. During the past thous- ands of black bass, on their way to the spawning beds of the upper Potomac, have been taken by dip n at Little Falls and sold in our markets igh prices; and then sportsn en wonder why it is thet bass do not bite as they did at Great Falls, at High Point, at the Club House, at Duck Cove, at Seven Locks and at the rapids just be- low Cabin John bridge. Some few years back a catch of a dozen black bass was easy to accomplish by any one understand- ing the art. Stop the poaching and the tak- ing of bess until after the spawning season is over, and no better sport for the ongler | can be found than in the waters of the | Potomac between Little and Great Falls. Many black bass are also taken Great Falls by persons who, presumably. are fish- ing for shad and suckers, ani I have been surprised that no arrests have ever been made at this point-—all seeming to wink at | and many of them profiting by this open violation of the law of Maryland, and yet expect anglers to petronize them and spend their money in the neighborhood. Ww. — . Early Saturday Closings. ‘Te the Editor of The Evening Star: Your timely and manly editorial exposing the diaphanous excuse set up by. certain minor officials that they can find no war- rant of law for dismissing the department clérks at 3 o'clock oz Saturdays during the heated term deserves the thanks not only of the clerks, but of the community at large. It is truly refreshing when an able and popular journal go neatly punctures the pre- | tenses of these “would-be ecorncmists, who are seeking after a little cheap notoriety by adding to the many edicts which make the official life of the government clerk a bur- den, What with the mental anxiety brought about by endeavoring to decipher whether they have any “granduncles, grandaunts, Letrrmes poner vats grandnieces, stepgrandfathers’' or s' \dmothers” in office (see Treasury rtrient circular, No. 100, of June 26, 1693), keeping tab of. the fractions of a minute they are absent frem their desks, and dreaming of the hayoe the “Dockery commission” will bring about, it may be truly sald that the lot of the government clerk “is not a happy éne.” The writer is not one of them, but truly ‘}unpathizes, with them. How is it that our officials, whose supersensitive legal con- scientiousness prohibits their allowing the ured and hard-worked clerks to go (at 3 o'clock) on Saturday, can find warrant of law for their owa incoming and outgoing, reperting, as some of them do, at their cifices daily as late as 11 o'clock a m., and. taking from one to two hours for luacheon during the official day? Altogether tco. much attention, to the neglect of weightier matters, has of late been focused upcn the government clerk, both by Con- gress and the executive heads of depart- ments. Railroad experts, receiving frora the much-depleted treasu fabulous sal- aries (one a thousand dollars per annum more than is paid the Secretary of the Treasury, another a thousand dollars a year more than the pay of a member of Congress), hired by the Dockery, commis- sion, have been for a year engaged in the lverative business of finding out that a large percentage of the clerks may be safely dispensed With, and inaugurating a scheme Which, if enacted into law, will for a num- ber of years require even a greater clerical force to put it into successful operation, ard to bring order out of the chaos which the radical changes proposed must in- evitably bring sbout. Another sample of consistency and would-be economy. If the government wants the best services from the very able, efficient and faithful clerks, who, as a rule, fil! the various departmental Pcsitions, it is about time that the clerk should be treated with more consideration, end relieved of the burdens and anxieties ard harsh measures which are so need- lessly thrust upon him. INDEX. SSS ES SES A Boy Drowned. Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock a colored boy about eighteen years old was drowned in the river near the bathing beach. The deceased was a stranger in this locality, and his sad ending was re- ported to the police of the fourth precinct by a young white man, who gave his name as William Jacobson and his home as Chi- cago. He said he had been talking to the negro, who had told him that his name was Wiiliam Jones, and his home was at 23 108d street. The clothing of the drowned boy is held at the police station to await the recovery of the body. The police boat went out, and the members of the crew dragged for the body. This morning it was recovered and sent to the morgue. —___— Michael Landry, an American explorer, has been drowned in the mining regions east of Lake of the Woods, Manitoba.

Now, there is nothing reprehensible in such an exhibition, even if it does contain as many holy terrors in the canvas way as that in progress in my native town, but un- fortunately the directors of the affair have introduced a species of the now popular voting scheme into the arrangement. On a desk at the entrance to the show is a over which hangs a large placard boldly re- Questing visitors to write down in the vol- ume the name of the picture that pleases each of them the most. When I left home the leading works in the contest were the Picture of a pretty but inane female head and a seaside scene replete with a number of washerwomen, who were as spirituelie, te all appearnces, as a Vassar graduate, and who didn’t appear to have ever done a half day’s washing in their lives. They were really third-rate pictures by second- rate artists, but they seemed to have caught the passing public taste, and now @ how] is going up from the members of the community who really appreciate art. This is because of a well-founded belief that the art association adopted the voting system in order to find out which were the most Popular pictures, with a view to purchas- ing, for permanent exhibition, the works of art thus distinguished. I tell you, when it comes tc art, we western people are right in it. Of course the main object of an art gallery is to select the best examples of ancient and modern art with a view to the education of the people up to the best ideas, but our folks don't cate about what is coming along in the future, apparently. They want to fill their gallery walls with pictures of some kind and the voting scheme seems to give them the opportunity they seek without bothering themselves with little matters like discretion and dis- cernment.
