She is past fifty now, her hair slightly streaked with gray and her face somewhat rugged and weather- beaten, but she is still alert and strong and can man her boat in the roughest weather as quickly and as well as when, at sixteen, she began her wonderful record of life- saving with the rescue of four small boys whose boat capsized in the harbor before her. She is the only woman lighthouse keeper in this country, and the government does not intend to dupiicate her or appoint a successor when her work is done—but It has delighted to honor this ploneer of her sex In the work, and the department freely admits that no light is cared for by any other employe along the coast as that of Lime Rock is looked after by its woman keeper, Ida Lewiz ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Nai ge set = ae Personal, Social and General Notes of Interest.

Trop’ cyclones or hurricanes are very probable. Fog west of the forty-first meridian across the Grand Banks and east of New land, icebergs in the vicinity of Belle Isle and a few east of Newfoundland south of the fiftieth paraltel. The review for July shows that icebergs were reported in considerable number as far west as Cape Race, near Belle Isle, and for 200 miles eastward their number was excessively large, and one steamer sighted hundreds on July 11 off Cape Race and Belle Isle. ——__-e-+_____. Lawn Party, ee College Campus, Monday night. = THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. + APS Aaa POLICE cCoURT a Some Victims of Strong Procession. Ned Lacey, a full-grown colored man, from the vicinity of the government print- ing office, went to Capitol Park last even- ing and enjoyed a ride on the “flying horses,” which reminded him of his boy- hood days. Ned certainly had a good time, and he gave vent to his feelings by making loud noises, but his happy evening was brought to a sad ending when Policeman Creagh arrested him and charged him with disorderly conduct. Although he was lock- ed up all night, pleasant recollections of the “merry-go-round” put him in good humor this morning, and he told Judge Taylor his story in a manner which indicated a desire on his part to return to the lively crowd and enjoy another ride rather than go down on the farm. After hearing the story, the court wanted to know if Ned had been locked up all night, and, being told that he had, the judge thought ‘he had been sufficiently pun- ished, "and discharged him. Leander Norris, a man about thirty-five years old, was also in the tolls. He was ar- rested for trying to earn his ving selling vegetables without first having obtained a license. More than a month ago he tried to sell his horse and wagon, because bus- iness was dull, but he did not succeed, and so he thought he would continue to sell in order to earn money enough to pay his board. But Policeman Vanzant arrested him. “This ts another case of a man trying to make an honest living and getting into trouble,” remarked the court. The officer said he would be willing to have the court suspend sentence In the case if the defendant will promise not to repeat the offense. The promise was made, and the man was released on his own recog- nizance. Among the prisoners was a colored boy named Joseph Brookings, who was arrested for being present at a crap game in front of Calvary Baptist Church, where he was found by Officer Goss. “I wasn't playing the game,” the boy said to the judge, “and I didn’t know it as against the law to look on. “That's the story they all tell,” Judge Taylor said to the boy. “That ain't no story,” said the boy. “Ten dollars or thirty days.” Johanna Quill was too drunk to walk without assistance, but the South Wash- ington whisky she drank did not affect the of her tongue. She wanted to create a scene in court, but she said guilty and Bailiff Kendig picked Ler up and had her out of sight in less than a minute. Mr. Pugh had made a statement to the court about Johanna, in which he said she was as well known in court as even the judge himself. He moved for the imposition of the maximum penalty, and the court gave her six months on the farm in default of bond. John Connors imitated the man who de- serted the commonweal army when he walked on the grass in the Capitol grounds and the usual fine, $5 or fifteen days on the farm, followed. Two young men from London, Alfred Waters and Edward Maple, were in court us vagrants, it being alleged that they were found begging. One of the young men said he had been a singer in the grand opera, but he is now without funds and is anxious to return to London. He came here with his compan- jon, he said, to see the British minister, but failed to get assistance. They promised to leave the city and the court released them on their personal bonds. William Reynolds was found in Wheat- ley's mili last night. He had been drinking and Policeman Bloom charged him with being a vagrant. “I came here from Currberland,” the pris- o:er told the court. “There I was thrown cut of work by the miners’ strike, and I came here to get a job and look after my claim. Next Wednesday I will get $240 from the government.” He was sent down until Thursday. Annie Gant was also a prisoner. She is a colored resilient of the “Division. lawyer Moss plead guilty for her and asked for a light sentence. ‘The judge let her off with a month's sen- tence. John Gleason was drunk when called for trial, and in a rambling way he said he would be much obliged if the judge would let him go. Policeman Espey told the court that John was in his normal condition, and told of the number of times he had been in the toils. Sixty day: Edward Scott, another old offender, was brought in. He said he wanted to return to his work. “You will have to work for the District for thirty day the judge told him. —__.>—_— CHILDREN'S COUNTRY HOME. Place Where Little Ones Get the Pure Air. One of the most deserving charities that appeal to Washington people is the Chil- dren's Country Home, which provides a fortnight’s outing for the poor little ones of the city, who-would otherwise not have the chance to get a good breath of fresh country air the long summer through. ‘The unusually hot weather that prevailed all through tne month of July has caused an immense amount of discomfort and act- ual suffering among the children who have only the hot streets and pavements for a playground, so that there has been an un- precedented call upon the resources of the heme, which is located in one of the coolest and most deifghtful spots in the Rock Creek valley. It takes such a small amount to send a chifi out into the country for a couple of weeks that it seems too bad that re cannot enjoy the blessing, especially hen it is remembered that such an outing may be the means of saving health, and even life. During the past six weeks more than eighty children have been benefited by a stay at the home, and next week twenty more will be taken out, where they can wede In the cooling streams and have all outdoors and plenty of tresh air for their royal childish sports. ee As in years gone by, The Evening Star will be glad to receive contributions for this worthy charity. The sum given need not be a large ore to be of use, and any amount, large or small, will be acknowl- edged in the Star and promptly turned over to the authorities of the home. —_»——— WANT REPRESENTATION. Colored Representatives om Board of Assessors Asked. The Commissioners have received a peti- tion from a number of residents and tax payers of the District calling attention to the fact that in the appointment of the last board of revision of taxes for this District the colored tax payers were deprived of the benefit of minority representation they had heretofore had in the important matter of taxation since the formation of the District government, im 1578. The petition reads as follows: “Deing apprehensive that this unjust omis- sion might be accepted as a precedent by your honorable body, therefore we respect- fully petition you to continue the policy of justice toward us that characterized the ac- tion of the District Commissioners wher the atter of appointment was at their disposal, and that you accredit to the 80,000 colored people of this District (many ef whom are property owners) one of their number as a& representative on the board of assessors, nied under the bill now pending gress. Your petitioners believe action on your part will be re- y all fair-minded persons as emi- nently just, when considered from the point of our property interest, intelligence and numerical relation to the population of th: District. Your petitioners feel further justi fled In-making the request that prejudic on aecount of col Id not be considered e against us in mat- . When we bring od character and fitness for the position in the individual seeking it.” > Darlington Men Arrested for Mioting.

The arrests were made by State Detective Newbold, Charles McCullough, L. A. Norment, K. D, Lucas and Henry Appelt are charged with the murder of Constable Pepper. 8. S. Nettles, Dr. J. C. Wileox, W.

Many Other Notes of General interest From West of Rock Creek— Social Notes. omen ‘The Rev. Stanley Bittheimer of the Theo- logical Seminary at Gettysburg has been called to the pastorate of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, corner 324 and Q streets, He will succeed the Rev. Geo. A. Nixdorf, who for twenty-three years has occupied the pulpit here. The Rev. Mr. Billheimer will preach his first pastoral sermon to- morrow morning at 11 o'clock, He has never before had a charge, being fresh from the seminary, yet he has preached at the Georgetown church before, making @ good impression. New life is to spring up in the Lutheran Church here. During the greater part of Mr. Nixdorf’s pastorate he received no salary. The congregation was too small to him without being strained, and he being able to support him- self independently, never asked that an effort be made. The congregation for years has been @ meager one. The church rolls show a mem- bership of thirty-six, but the regular at- tendance has not been for years over fif- teen or sixteen, On the resignation of the late pastor there was a strong desire made manifest by the congregation of Dr. Butler's church to get the control of the Georgetown church, Dr. Butler recommended the appointment’ of an assistant to himself, who should charge of the Georgetown church, look! to him as its head. The other branch the Lutheran Church in Washington, pre- sided over principally by Dr. Parsons, has been equally anxious to act in the capacity of local mother. At a recent congregational meeting at the Georgetown church, though, it was decided to depend on neither for sup- port or assistance. It was thought that with a new, young and ambitious minister and the increased interest that his appear- ance would instigate their church could im- crease her congregation with ease and stan@ independently. There were some present at this meeting who had not attended the church for years. Many others since have signified their intention of joining. There are said by the vestrymen to be enough Evangelical Lutherans in town to support a church handsomely. At the present time they are scattered among the thirteen Lu- theran churches of the District. The Georgetown church is a pretty litte struct- ure, with a seating capacity of about 300 and almost centrally located. It is sur- rounded with ample gtounds.
