A Delightful Entertainment at Rock- On last Saturday evening there was given at Mr. Hallowell’s, Sandy Spring, a unique entertainment, consisting of a series of tableaux, each representing one of C. D. Gibson’s well-known drawings in “Life.” The broad poreh at the front of the house at Rockland was the stage, while the large audience of invited guests was seated on the lawn, the hot weather making any but an al fresco entertainment a matter of suf- fering rather than pleasure, Twelve pictures were given, the explana- tory phrase of each being read by Mr. Hal- lowell during the rise of the curtain. Each scene Was an exact copy of the drawing as far as attitude and expression went, while the color introduced made a great addi- tion to the charm of Mr. Gibson's works. All the characters were taken by the guests of the house, including a number of Wash- ingtonians. Miss Mary Hallowell and” Mr, Robert Gibson of York, Pa., managed the affair, which was a great success, artisti- cally. Between each picture there was music, ihe performers being Mrs. Walter Galt and Mrs. Rudolph Kauffmann, tne Misses Uhler of A} dria and Mrs. Chichester of Sandy Spring.

I hear a good story of a Chicago plutocrat who ts one of the most conspicuous of the winter residents of Washington. He fin- ished a beautiful home in this city last fall, and the family had a house-warming. is daughter took the liberty to invite inform- ally Mr. William D. Howells, the novelict, whom: she had the pleasure of meeting at a reception the evening before, and when she presented him to her father ‘she said: “Papa, this is Mr, Howells, the famous writer.” “Glad to see you, Mr. Howells,” exclaim- e1 the multi-millionaire, “glad to make your acquaintance. Just step this w please,” and conducting his guest to dining room instructed the butler to open & fresh bottle and see that it was very cold. He drew two chairs beside a table in the corner, and when the glasses were filled, re- markel: “Im atways glad to have ‘you newspaper fellows come to my house, Mr. Howells. You're always welcome here, and when you want any items about the family you mast come Tight to me. I'd rather you would. I know you'll be wanting to print something about us. I suppose you have to fo Ht-for peonle like to read that sort of thing, but if you will come right to me, 1'll see that you get It straight.” Mr. Howells thanked his host for his thoughtfulness and promised to remember the injunction. At the same time he got ‘| i study from Jife for his next society novel. —-——---ee ste Electricity From Niagara. Secretary and Treasurer W. B.

No Disinterested Witnesses Saw Br Brady Knocked Down. Judge Miller today heard evidence in the case of the young man Timothy McCarty, charged with assault and reckless driving on the 16th of April at New York avenue and 15th street, when Mr. M. B. Brady, the photographer, was knocked down and sert- cusly injured, as printed in The Star at the time. Mr. Brady's ankle was broken and he is now using crutches. There was an ab- sence of proof to show any recklessness on the part of the defendant. Mr. Brady told of the accident, but could not say anything about the speed of the horse. He was crose- ing from the car track, going in the direc- tion of Riggs’ Bank, at the time he was struck and knocked down. The driver did rot stop Detective Lacy was also a witness. On the evening of the occurrence he was stand- ins on the corner. When he heard some one make an cutery he looked around and saw Mr. Brady lying in the street, where he had been knocked down. He saw the carriage moving away. The only other witnesses called were the young men who were in the carriage with the defendant at the time of the accident, ‘They said that Mr. McCarty was perfectly sober end they were goirg out for a short drive. It was just about dark when the ac- cident happened, and the witnesses said that he was not driving fast. But Mr. Pugh called the court’s atl™éen to the police regulations, a section of whiet provides that drivers of vehicles must make way at street crossings for pedestrians. The charge against the defendant included this section, and Mr. Pugh made a lengthy ar- gument in support of the District's side of the case. It was argued by Mr. Shillington. that Mr. Brady was not struck on a street crorsing, as meant by the law. The wit- nesses had located the affair in the street north of the railroad tracks and south of the ew York avenug curb line, and counsel contended that the crossing was from curt to curb in a direct line, and not diagonally across the street. After hearing the arguments the court called upon the defense for pro Shillington put the defendant He was driving at the time and said h not see Mr. Brady before he was struck, His horse was going at a moderate gait at the time, and when Mr. Brady was struc he GlcCarty) got excited and struck the orse. The judge dismissed the case, saying he had to rely upon the proof of the defendape and his friends.
