THE SMALL BOY AND HIS BROTHER Also His Sister and His Aunt Were Out. THE CLINGING GIRL ‘This was a great day on the river front with the small boys who had skates, and even for those who had no skates,but could slide. The ice has been growing thicker and thicker since the coli weather set in, and the light fall of suow Sunday night put a slick surface over the parts which had become corrugated by thawing. Conse- quently when the boys reached the river front this morning, and they got there very early, they found an ideal condition await- ing them. The weather was moderate, there wasgno wind to speak of and the skating was perfect. - Not only did the small boy and his big brother enjoy themselves, however, for it was not long before their elders became Putting Them On. aware of what was going on and hastened to take part in the fun. There were a num- ber of young ladies.on the ice today, and middle-aged men did not disdain to renews their youth by putting on the steel runners and teaching the boys how it was done in the olden time. Along the shore congregated the boys who had no skates. They made a slide on the smocth sufface ef the ice, greasing it down occasionally with a little snow to keep . up the slipperiness. Then with a whoop and a hurrah they would take a long run to get an impetus and slide out over the And the Ice Cracked. ice until their career came to an untimely end by slipping down with a dull thud. Sometimes three or four would go dewn in a heap together, and then such a mixture of legs and arms would ensue as to puzzle anyone but a small boy how to untangle the knot. Bumped heads and scratched faces often resulted from these tumbies, but the little fellows paid no attention to mishaps of this kind. Playing Polo. ‘The sturdy youths with polo sticks were very much in evidence, and numerous games of “shinny on your own side” were in progress simultaneously on the glittering surface of the tidal basin. With clang of skates and wild Indian whoops they sped across the ice field and woe betide the luck- less person who stood in the way of their FOR THE HEART. CARDINE ‘A prominent medical practiticner recently said that during the last fifteen years he has noted no less than seventy-three cases of deaths of elderly persons resulting from running after street cars.

It was a favorite pas- time to knock the ball into a crowd of girls fluttering tim'dly on the ice, and then the boys would sh in and indulge in a mad scramble for the ball to the terror and dis- may of the girls, and with an accompani- ment of feminine shrieks. The Champion Skater. Of course, the middle-aged man who was the champion skater of his township in his youth was on hand, giving points to the youngsters on how to cut a figure eight and do other wonderful feats. It some- Her First Appearance. times happened that the middle-aged man would go down, to the manifegt delight of the crowd, who seemed tq get more fun out of his misfortune than anything else. The small boys would dance around and deliver that irritating kind of laughter which the small boy knows so well how to do, and which is so annoying to the person who is being made the butt of their sport. Two Kinds of Girls. Then there was the young girl who is just learning to skate, and who was ac- companied on the ice by the tender and attentive young man who is so solicitous of her welfare that he never lets go of her for a moment. It was nice to watch these couples, the girl with her little goo-goos of terror for fear she is going to fall, and the solicitude of her escort, who, with the perspiration breaking out on his face, tries Put ‘Em on, Boss? to keep his own uncertain footing and as- sume as much protection asehe can over his fair charge. In vivid contrast to this couple was the girl who knows how to skate and is preud of it, and with some! muscular young fellow skims the river with graceful swing and steady stride, to the unutterable envy of all beginners. Going Through. | Occasionally some yenturesome skater broke through the ice and was rescued, glad to escape with nothing more serious than an icy ducking. There was an amus- ing incident when a fat man, weighing probably 300 pounds, broke through the ice in shallow water. Attracted by his loud calls for help a crowd collected and some one finally brought a plank. The fat man,.after a number of efforts, managed to crawl out on the plank, but the sight cf the 3u0-pound man trying to balance him- self on the six-inch plank was so ludicrous that every one had to laugh. When te at last reached a safe footing on firm ice and realized that he was the subject of the crowd’s mirth he asked, with an injured air, what they were laughing at. He could not see anything funny in it at all. River Skaters. The river was lined with skaters today for miles above the Aqueduct bridge. The ice is smooth and clear there, and but for the danger resulting from numerous air holes, caused by the action of the rapid current underneath, the skating would te perfect. A number of parties skated up to Cabin John bridge during the day and home again in the afternoon, or returned by the electric cars if they were too tired for fur- their exercise. The Eastern branch was in good condi- tion for fice sports, and Capitol Hill was well represented during the day. The fact Fancy Figures. of its being a holiday brought more adults to the ice, and the presence of men lent a feeling of greater security to the timid ones. ‘A number of young people from Anacos- tia held an informal carnival on the ice, in which their friends from the city par- ticipated. A lively polo game was also made up, and a delightful afternoon's sport was enjoyed. While the Potomac ts frozen from the Long bridge up, it is still open in the Washington channel and from Alexandria down. There is ice in some of the bays and wide reaches of the river, but the channel is sufficiently free to permit unim- peded navigation between Washington and Norfolk. — Quiet but Effective Hold Up. At Livingston, Ala., last night two mask- ed robbers boarded the south-bound ex- press train No. 3 on the Alabama Great Southern road, which left Birmingham at 3:20 p.m., and robbed the express car of its valuables. The scene of the robbery ts 120 miles south of Birmingham and details are meager. It seems that the robbers, dis- guised as passengers, after boarding the train, waited until it was"again in motion and then, going out on the platform, they put on their masks and entered the ex- press car, and at the point of pistols com- pelléd the messenger to give up the con- tents of his safe, which is thought to have contained several thousand dollars. The robbery was committed very quietly and when it was completed the robbers backed out of the car with their pistols still on the express messenger and baggazemaster, who occupied the same car, and pulling the bell cord, got off when the train slowed up and took to the wood: ——___ +e4_____ Capt.

REFORMERS FALL OUT 2iC_oc va P Dr. Parkhurst Critisises the Lexow Investi- ns ott 6h Says ‘That It Prred in Handling Supt. Byrnes S86 ‘Bénderly—Action of (hg: Seventy. The executivé cdmmittee of the Society for the Prevention of Vice of New York, which consistd “ofDr. Parkhurst, Frank Moss, assistant to Committee Counsel Goff, and Mr. Kennesgn, ‘held a consultation yes- terday. After. zhes conference Dr. Park- hurst issued a Statement which had been indorsed by the committee. The document began by stating that the Lexow committee was regarded with distrust at the time of {ts appointment, but was supported by the Society for the Prevention of Crime to the fullest extent. As it became apparent that the committee was: pushing its work vigor- ously and impartially it gained the public confidence. This- continued until Byrnes came under investigation. Then the committee flinched. The pur- suit of lines that might easily have con- ducted to the real inwardness of Byrnes’ character and conduct was discouraged. As the head of a rotten department, the pre- sumption was on the side of his being as criminal as any other member of the force. The hesitancy to handle him as Inspector Williams was handled could not proceed from any prior conviction of his innccence, but it was because Byrnes had put the committee under obligations to him by consenting .to help defeat Tammany Hall and by furnishing the committee's counsel with information. Dr. Parkhurst says this was a blunder. He charges that Byrnes has omitied no effort to crush the Society for the Preven- tion of Crime, and if the head of the police department could have had his way there would have been no Lexow committee and Grant would have been mayor instead of Strong. Supt. Byrnes Quoted. In the course of the statement the fol- lowing occurs: “It will be proper to introduce at this point, by way of indicating more fully Mr. Byrnes’ attitude toward us, the following extracts from formal statements by him made in December, -1802. “*A& society for the prevention of crime— that is a fine title for an association of men who have from their leader down pro- voked about every crime they denounced. Not only have: they blackmailers among them, but they have men who have been guilty of the most abominable practices, of acts, which, when they are made pub- lic, you will find the utmost difficulty in describing in print. * * * I cannot un- derstand how men who are presumably decent, respectable members of society can tolerate the idea of putting forth a number of spies to practice on the fears of these most unfortunate women. The cruelty of it amazes me. Are not these poor things Sufti- elently cursed as it Is their condition sufficiently pitiablée without Sts being neces- sary further to abuse and rob them? In Gardner’s cfse the threat of an indict- ment was held over them like a club, and they were foreed to pay (Mr. Byrnes well knew that Clifton was a police agent to trap Gardner), end” this, mind you, was made possible By thé formation of this ir- responsible socigty. “The members of it are the guilty perdons. "Without their backing these scoundrels' d® agents would have been powerless.” However, let them wait a little while. Let’ them wait until the public knows {vhat,'has been done. There is law, fortunately, 3nd the victims are not friendless as long as’ that law exists. “I have read over, ve refully thé statemeris maie by Dr. Parkhurst, and as far as I could perhdps expect they corrob- orste what J Haye $2id about him and his methods.

That was what his, society was organized for and what his predecessor labored for. Dr. Parkhurstsays dlatly that that is not his aim.

Dr. How- ard Crosby _saw..other opportunities and other ends, and he found occasion more than once framklynto thank the police. ““True charity begins at home. I shall be prepared, -when Pr. Parkhurst comes “to me in a-proper spirit-of inquiry, to show him a well-trodden "path that leads from the very door of his church, as it were, to a brothel, within a gunshot'away, upon which his “shadows” might exploit them- selves, with advantage to the security ‘and good repute of his congregation, and with better sticcess than they have achieved in thefr present vain hunt.’ “Our agents, acting in the legitimate dis- charge of their duties as representatives of. a society chartered by the state, were mobbed a year or more ago by the toughs and thugs thet sprang to the relief of Byrnes and his department when we pressed them uncomfortably at the Essex Market police court. "Bhe papers next morning were iull of the details of the out- rage, but Mr. Byrnes, on examination, was unable to discover that any outrage had been committed necessitating action on his part, and in that way official announce- ment was made that the agents of our so- ciety need not look for official protection, and were to be considered as legitimate prey. “Now, that is Byrnes. He is the man that we have had steadily in our eye for three years, and he has had us just as steadily in his eye. The community knows our work har meant nothing but the over- throw of misrule in this city. Byrnes has known that as well as the public, and yet he has fought us, Now, why has not the senatorial committee, through its counsel, made itself familiar with- these mat- ters? We have urged that Mr. Byrnes should be asked whether prior to the sena- torial. investigation he was knowing of the rottenness of the police force. He either was or he was not. If he was, and still kept his mouth shut, he was unspeakably vile; and if he was not, he was unspeak- ably imbecile. “Now, why did not the committee insist that Mr. Goff, in his characteristic manner, should brol Mr. Byrnes on that bifurcated dilemma? I am nothing but a minister; but if I had been a lawyer of Mr. Goff’s ability I would have put Mr. Byrnes on that toasting iron, and I would have guar- anteed to broil out of him all of his offi- cial reputability inside of one day‘s ses- sion, provided, of course, the committee would have allowed me to do so, The committee of seventy of New York adopted a vete of confidence in Senator Lexow yesterday. The seventy’s meeting was the first they have held since election. The committee has not been idle, however, as the reported action of its subcommittee, to whom much cf its authority has heen delegated, has shown from time to time. Foremost in importance among its under- takings was the preparations and provid- ing for public -hearfngs before the mayor on special city, legjslation. These meas- ures were reported hy Wm. B.

Williams is rector,were out in full force Sunday evening to render, as is the custom of the parish, the second ser- vice of the day. The little ones in th neat chairs filled the chancel, while the larger children cecupied the privecipal part of the bedy ef-ithe church, adults filling the remaining pews in the rear. The six or eight carols sung by the school were, as usual, taught ine children by their rector, who not only superintends his Sunday school, but is associated with his children in everything they undertake. The voices of the youth of this large school were in beautiful harmony, and the sacred Christmas songs most impressively render- ed. Archdeacon Williams made an address appropriate to the season, and within the most easy comprehension of the children of the school, concluding. his remarks in ad- vice to the scholars. ——— Wills Fitea. The following wills were filed toda of Mary Ellei Shaw, dated April making her daughter, Anna Virginia Shaw, executrix, and giving her the balan€e of a life insurance policy after the payment of the deceased’s debts. The residue of the property is divided between this daughter and Antoinette and Susan P. Shaw, two other daughters. That of Ann Franklin Washingten, dated November 3, 1894, mak- ing ‘Thomas Francis executor, and making Emily Young, a friend, principal bene- ficiary. That of Daniel Joseph Sexton, mak- ing his widow, Anna M. Sexton, sole bene- ficiary, executrix and guardian of their son. And the sealed will of the late Wm. C. Martin, which was not opened. The city building, one of the finest struc- tures in Biddeford, Me., was destroyed by fire Sunday morning, entailing a_total loss of more than $100,000. James Elliott, a fireman, was nearly frozen to death,and one of the prisoners in the police station, which was in the building, was uncon- scious when discovered. MR. BOUTELLE’S EXPERIENCE With the cialism of the Superv — ing Architect’s Office. Waehington Corr. of the Philadelphia Press. Representative Boutelle of Maine has had an annoying and at the same time amusing experience. with the red tapeism of the ‘treasury Department. Some years ago he secured an appropriation of $50,000 for a pest office building at Houlton, Me. Bids were-asked for, but they were all in excess of. the amount appropriated. Mr. Boutelle then secured an additional appropriation of $15,000 ‘and bids were again called for. Much to. the surprise of everyone a bid came in for $45,000 and the contract was let. The building is now about completed, and, after sundry extras have been met, there remains a balance of some $12,000 to the credit-of the building. It has just been discovered that the build- ing has been titted throughout with gas pipe, but no arrangement has been made for electric lighting. With a balance of several. thousand dollars to its credit, Mr. Boutelle thought there would be no dif }culty in having electric wires put in, es- pecialy as there is no gas in Houlton. He hcaMed upon thesupervising architect and tated the case, but was surprised whem ‘that official said: “This department has nothing to do with relectri¢ lighting. ‘The specifications call for gas and gas it will have to be.” “But, my dear sir,” -remonstrated Mr. Beutelle, “there is no gas plant nearer than Bangor, 200 miles away “I -ean't help that,” r d the supervis- ing architect. ‘The law says we must make plans: for lighting public buildings with gas. No one has authority to change the order except the chief clerk of the de- partment.” It seemed preposterous that the chief clerk of the Treasury Department, Logan Carlisle, the politi boss of that depart- ment, should decide a question that related purely to architectural matters; neverthe- less Mr. Boutelle wrote to the chief clerk. As might be expected from a partisan off cial to a member of the opposi lit- tle courtcsy was shown to the Congressman and the request for electric wires was re- fused. As there is no gas in the city, this fine new government building has to be lighted with ker n€ lamps and tallow dip can- dies, because a little technicality prevents the supervising arehitect from changing the specifications from gas to electric light. The city itself boasts of two electric light plants. The public streets are a blaze of light, as ‘are ell the business houses, but the post office building is left in semi-dark- ness, the only light coming from ill-smell- ing oil lamps. —— Ex-Auditor Coulter Dead.
