To the Editor of The Fvening Star: Every woman who Is a lady regrets, if she is aware of it, that she is causing an- noyance, especially when it is avoidable, to any one about her. It follows, then, that la- dies who obstruct the view of those sitting near them by wearing their hats do so either through ignorance of the fact that they are causing such obstruction, or from what they feel to be a cogent reason. What reason can this be? Not, surely, that their encovered heads look so bad that they are unwilling to show them—not the trouble of taking off and repiacing the hat—that would exhibit very little of the feeling of regret that every true lady must feel when she is aware that she is annoying another. It remains, then, that she is unable or un- willing to become singular among those AD 2. 2,000 "Ye who are maintaining the disagreeable fash- fon. There seems to be no other ground on which to account for her conduct. I am speaking of those who, by instinct and character, are ladies. 1s there not’ here a suggestion to those ladies who can, by an effort, bring their courage to the point of supporting by example those who would take pleasure in following—thus relieving at once the timid annoyer and the an- noyed? w. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Hats wern in public places should be se- lected not only to give pleasure to the wear- 1, but to those occupying seats in the rear. I have seen on several occasions where per- sone sitting benind hats that obstructed their view made it so unpleasant by _re- marks that the sensitive wearers would re- move them. For the comfort of the pleas3- ure seekers, it is necessary that the rays of lgnt should reach the eyes uninterrupt=i. If the rays are cut off by feathered hats, or s}Here Jam te see it finishe?. ] that saw it begug —: a hat that one has to strain his neck and eyes ty see, the fatigue results in a head- ache often, and all the pleasure of the even- ing is lost, and several days of discomfort follow. America is far ahead of Europe in giving comfort to railroad travelers, and why should not the same step be taken by theater managers for giving pleasure to their patrons? A very easy way is having a ladies dressing rocm and requiring the re- moval of street ha:s. In London and most European cities the ladies are not permit- ted to wear their hats in theaters. What gives more pleasure to actors than a full- dressed audience, or what gives more piezs- ure to those present than to witness all around with happy faces? Who can sit be- hind a hat seven inches in diameter, or peep through the porcupine quills for one hour without having a weary and sad face? You pity such people, and part of the pleas- ure of the evening is lost. We all want to be happy, and the only way is to help make others happy. So let one and all do their best in trying to give the least discomfort to those around them. M. ‘inate | TRIED TO RESTORE PEACE Lavinia Jones Says She Consulted a Doctor About It. The Remark: Prescriptions » He Furnished, She Says, Were Sa Failures—Had Him Arrested. Lavinia Jones, wife of Henry Jones, who lives on L street between 4th and 5th streets, has been married about three years, and, according to the story told in the Po- lice Court, she has not enjoyed peace in the family for two years. But this, she says, is not her fault, for her husbend is contrary, like all men who feel so inclined. In her effort to restore peace in the family, she says, she consulted Henry Powell, an elderly colored man, who claims that he is a preacher and herb doctor. Not being satisfied with what the missionary doctor had accomplished she caused his arrest, and he was tried on a charge of larceny. “I was told that he could bring peace in my house,” Lavinia told Judge Miller, “and uiat’s why 1 went to see hum and told him my trials.” “How did you come to go to him?” the court asked. “A lady told me about him,” she replied, “and 1 went to his home near 15th and O streets.” “And did he say he could restore peace?” “yes, sir; and 1 paid him §2 the first ime I saw him. He gave me a bottie of water, with pins, needles, sand and other stuff, and told me to put it in a cup of water om the stove and boil it. Every time the stopper came out I was to put it back. He told me to do this thirty minutes at a time, “Phen he gave me little bundies.”” “What kind of bundles?” interrupted the ecurt. “Rags with things tied up in them. One of them had sometning hard in it, and this was to be put in the bed and 1 was to have it under my left side.” you put it in the bed as he told a “Yes, indeed.”” nd did, it restore peace in the house?” “Oh, no.” Continuing, Lavinia said: “He then gave me a botue with some sweet stuff in it, and told me to rub under my arms with it and @ lot of other things. “What other things? “Weil, he wid me to wash in perfumery. “Was that tor the purpose of catching the old man’ “Yes, sir. “And did you catch hin “No, sir.” Lavinia said she paid Powell about §20 in all, giving him a small amount of money each time she called upon him. She foi- jowed his directions, and when they did no good she asked for the return of her money. “Did you tell your husband about this? “Oh, no,” answered Lavinia, “he told-me that this was all to be private.” For two years Lavinia said she boiled the bottle, used the little bundi: and bathed in perfumery, and finally concluded she had made a failure of it. The defendant denied every word that Lavinia had told the court. He told Judge Miller that he was a missionary and an herb doctor. Seven years ago, he said, the woman came to him to see him about her beau. “What kind of herbs do you use?” inter- rupted the court. “Gartield tea and other herbs that I can't Just carve out now.” 3 “Why can’t you carve them out “I can't just remember,” was his re- spon Mpavinia was recalled, and questioned con- cerning her marriage. and she said she was separated from her husband. v” she was asked. “what church? “The Fourth Church.” “And are you taught this wa: “No, sir; but 1 thought if there was any way of restoring peace in the house I would restore it.” Judge Miller could not believe from the testimony that the missionary herb doctor was guilty of the offense charged, and ac- quitted him. —__ > For Local Suffrage. In response to an invitation issued by Dr. Robert Reyburn to those interested in securing suffrage for the citizens of the District, about a dozen persons attended a meeting which was held Thursday evening at Wesley Chapel. Dr. Reyburn was called to the chair, and J. M. Smith acted as sec- retary. In the course of some remarks Dr. Reyburn stated his belief that the opinion prevailed to a great extent in this-city that Its cilizeas should have the right of suf- and self-government. He contended the present form of the District gov- ernment was intended at first to be merely temporary. He thought that it would be a good plan to petition Congress to instruct the District Commissioners to order a pri- mary election, in order that the sentiment of the people of the District could be as- certained for or against the present form of government. He suggested that such petitions be left at convenient places throughout the elty to be signed. The at- tention of the meeting was called by Mr Gu av Augustin to the movement having the same end in view which had been in- augurated by the Federation of Labor. After further discussion the chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of one for the purpose of consulting with the dif- ferent local organizations to secure their co-operation in this movement. The chair- man appointed Mr. Augustin. The meeting then adjourned until aext Thursday even- ing. LATE SPORTING NEWS GOOD DAY FOR FAVORITES. Seven Won in Eleven Races at the Two Tracks. Four favorites and two outsiders won at the St. Asaph Junction track yesterday, over a track deep in mud. In the firet race, the ods just suited Tuscan, and, catching Bergen asleep on~Patthenia, got the ver- dict by a nese, auch to the disgust of Booknaker Whité, the owner of the filly. Mr. White got mére than even in the third race, however, whén' his horse Grampian, at odds of 15 to 1)'won by a length and a half from Blackfoot. Wernberg, who could not move the day, before, simply romped away from Longbrook and Melody in the second, at odds on In the fourth Curious was backed down, from 6 to 2 to J, starting favorite, and winning in a drive by half a length from Samaritan. In the fifth race Ed Kearney, at 1 to 3, just managed to beat Walcott, at 10 to 1, by a short nose, many believing that the decision should have been*no wofse than’a dead heat. In the last event Wilt Ellicott, at 3 to 5, was always in front, winning | easily by: two lengths from Haris, Little Billy, the other starter, six tg seven lergths back. On the Island. It was about an even thing between the bookies and the public at the Alexander Island track yesterday, three favorites and a second choice and an outsider winning. ‘There was a large crowd present, and the track was far from bad. As usual the fields were large and the racing above the aver- age. Nine bookmakers did business, and they found all the winners weil backed. Judge Oyster set down Jockeys R. King and Cook for the balance of the meeting for incompetent riding, and also advisea Trainer Lovell that his entries would have to move faster hereafter. The winners were: ‘Trixie Gardner, 4 and 7 to 5; Ponce de Leon, 3 to 5 and out; Rufas, 7 to 10 and 1 to 4; Ataman, 1 to 2 and out, and Lum, 10 and 4. Cornell's Crew to Go Abroad. The decision of the Correll authorities to send a crew to England next season, suys the New Yerk Sun, has called atientioa again to the attitude of Yale and Harvard toward Cornell in aquatic matters. The jast time that Corneli rowed against Yale and Harvard she beat them handily,but they have never allowed her to row with them since, though she has regularly asked for a race for upward of eighteen years. Cornell has made faster time over the New Lon- don course than either Yale or Harvard have at any time in gheir history. Yet they will not meet her in a race. If she is suc- cessful in ‘gland she may finally force the New Ergland colleges to give her a trial on the water, just as she has worked her way into first-class rank on the foot ball field. AMBRICAS* Lord Danraven Wants Them Started Of Marbiehend, but This Cannot Be. Lord Dunraven bas written to Secretary “Oddie of the New York Yacht Club that he would much prefer that the matches for the America's cup be sailed at Marblehead in- stead of the outer bay at New York, for the reason that the course wovld be much less crowded. He also thinks that the chal- lenger should not be restricted to one ves- sel, but should he. free to select the one making the best showing, as the Americans do. Secretary Oddie after a meeting the other night said: “The club unanimously decided by resolution that the next races for the America cup should be sailed off New York, und that Marblehead or Newport would no’ be considered under any circumstance: Regarding Lord Dunraven’s other, sugges- tions, Mr. Ocdie said that the entire letter was discussed and the matter placed in the hands of this special committee, which was appointed by Conishedore Brown: -Ex-Com- modore James D. Smith, A. Cass Canfield, J. Fraderic Tams,"Latham A. Fish, Philip Schuyler, Charles J. Paine and Gouverneur Kortright. Secretary Oddie cabled to Lord Dunraven that the races must be held off New York, and/ that a committee had been appointed to consider his letter. New Cup Challenger.

The eleven which Princeton will meet today will be by far the most powerful team which has ever represented the University of Pennsylvania. TO BEAT THE LAW. Scheme Suggested by Tarfmen to Permit Pool Selling. Some Brooklyn turfmen are trying to get around the pool prohibition of the constitu- tional amendment recently adopted, or at any rate to have racing with as much spice as the pool business gives it. Three of the most notable tracks of the country are near Brooklyn, namely: Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend und Brighton Beach. The following scheme of Ed. Morse, the pool seller who manuged to evade at Mystic Park the Massachusetts law, was called up by the Brocklyn men. The auctioneer would hold up the picture of a horse. waar = Le =. this picture? at am iS ty dollars, $1 ni s9 on. “Sold at $100,” . enn “What name shall I give this horse, sir?” The name naturally would be that of the horse thet was the first cholee or favorite. Another picture would be shown, and “How much?" shouted. When bought the buyer would give it a name, which; as in the previous case, would be written under- neath the picture and handed to the buyer in exchange for his money, with the in- variable remark that the print call, of course, exactly alike) was a splendid per- trait of Alix or Directum ee. Kitty H., or whatever name the card bo After selling all the single choices a bunch of pictures corresponding to the number of horses left in the “field” would be of- fered. 4ow much for these works of art?” eight, ten twenty dollars. “Sold at twenty. What shall I call these?” The purchaser repties, eld” or “fiemuinder,” or something indicative of the fact that he had taken the field aginst the - sold-oll oices, and there would be a pool com- ete. All that remained then was to go through the same comedy over and cver again as long as the crowd would buy, and then holder$ ef the winning pictures cashed in as usual, and, as the recounter of this pretty little scheme put it, “there you ar ———_+e-. Gen, Birney Injured. The venerable Gen. William Pirney was badly injured about 5 o'clock last evening in a runaway acident on Ist strect near the District building, and now Hes at nis resi- dence, 221 Grant place, East Capitol street, in a rather serious condition. Cen. Birney, who is very fond of horses, was driving a young horse which was some- what green, down B street norcheast. At Ist street the animal became unmanageable and dashed down B street at quite a rapid rate. At Ist street northwest the vehicle collided with a Belt Line car, ray re off one of the wheels and throwing Gen. Bir- ney out and against 4 tree eee with wire. A moment latet the horse broke loo: from the wrecked carriage, and ran quite distance before he was captured. Gen. Birney was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried to a aeignboring drug store, where it was discovered that his face had been badly cut by the wire netting on the tree and that he had been bruised, al- though no bones appeared to have been broken. He was carried to his home, when his family physician found that he was suf- fering rather more from shock than any- thing else. The doctor expressed the opin- ion that while the age of his patient, seven- ty-five years, made his condition more ser- ious, nevertheless he believed that he would recove: in due time. District Attorney Bir- ney, a son of Gen. Birney, was soon at his father’s bedside, and expressed himself as believing trat no serious result would fol- low. District Attorney Birney, who was with his father all of last night, stated this morn- ing that while his father had improved con- siderably, he was still in a very serious con- dition. Mr. Birney explatned that what w most feared was the effect of the shock. His father's improvement during the night, however, gave them much hope, and as he was resting comfortably today, he was in- clined to believe that he would recover. cern Charities Incorporaica. been filed with the recorder of deeds incorporating the National Train- ing School for Missionarics of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the same to include the s Deaconess Home and the Sibley Hospital.
