Annie Chase, a little colored girl, was in Judge Kimbali's court this morning because she laughed in the vestibule of Mount Zion Church, ‘When I reached the church last nigh: said Annie, ‘some one was praying, and, of course, it’s against the rules of the church to go in during prayer. But Policeman Hebrew was there, and because I wouldn't go in he dragged me out and locked me up.” The policeman told the court that the girl went in the vestibule of the church twice and he said she actually laughed. Pastor Willbariks appeared on the stand, and although he could not identify four- teen-year-old Annie, he said that the church door opened twice last evening and attracted the attention of persons in the meeting. “While I don’t know anything about this particular girl,” said the pastor, “the peo- ple out in that neighborhood are very un- ruly, and we have been trying to civilize them.” He said that the church officials had ex- perienced considerable trouble with the dis- orderly element about 12th street north- east, In the neighborhood of the Case Church. Judge Kimball talked to Annie about her conduct and released her on her personal onds. Will Read Trilby. Annie Crawford wiJl read “Trilb when she returns te the work ho this even- ing.

It was expected that Judge Cole would today render his decision in the case of those sugar trust witnesses not yet passed upon by him, Judge Cole stated to a Star reporter this morning, however, that he had been so busily engaged with other Guties during the past several days that he had been unable to prepare his opinion in ime for delivery today. He stated that he hoped to be able to render his decision some time next week, possibly on Wed- nesday, but not later than next Saturday. ‘The indicted persons whose cases are yet to be decided by Judge Cqle are Newspaper Cerrespondents Edward’ and Shriver, President Havemeyer and Secretary Searies of the American Sugar Refining Company, and Broker Seymour. Like Brokers Ma- cartney and Chapman, whose case was passed upon by the Court of Appeals last Monday, these persons were indicted last summer for refusing to answer certain questions asked them by Senator Gray's sugar trust investigating committee. All demarred to the indictments, and in the ase of Messrs. Macartney and Chapman Judge Cole overruled the demurrers, and the Court of Appeals this week affirmed that decision. While there were several questions in the cases of Messrs. Edwards, Shriver, Have- meyer, Searles and Seymour differing from those raised in the case of Messrs. Macart- ney and Chapman, it is said that there was no very great material difference. FORT DEAD. Fermerly Manager of Albaugh's and Originator of Summer Opera. Mr. Samuel W.

ORGANIZED HELP Aid for Poor and Suffering Ex- tended by Generous Hands. THE CENTRAL UNION MISSION Some Contributions Received for the Poor Today. MANY ARE IN WANT Suffering from hunger is a terrible thing, and to be cold is almost as bad. A coi wave is predicted tonight, and the suffer- irgs of hundreds will be intensified. The work done by individuals and organiza- tions to relieve distress in a time of need must send a thrill of pleasure through the coldest heart. During the past week the Central Union Mission has aided between seventy-five and one hundred families daily and shelter- ed and fed 125 men and women in its build- irg. One poor, homeless family of five per- sons has been housed’since last Saturday. As the industrial department is self-sup- porting, the men and women who are Icdged and fed at the mission cost the charitable public nothing, but the families to whom food, clothing or fuel is sent are supplied out of the gifts of the people for the relief of the poor. To keep the dining room, kitchen, wood yard, laundry and dor- mitories running requires the services of twenty persons, but they are selected from among the unemployed, so that their em- plcyment is itself a work of charity, al- though it involves no draft on the charity fund. It has required the constant labors of half a dozen persons during the past week to record the names of applicants for aid, investigate their needs, prepare bas- kets of provisicns and distribute them. The mission owns cne delivery wagon and horse, but has been obliged to hire another in order to mzet the demands, be- sides vsing the street cars freely in deliver- ing baskets. To save labor and expense families have been required to come to the mission and take away their baskets when- ever {t was possible for them to do so. In addition to the persons devoting their en- tire time to this work, the volunteer work- ers of the mission have rendered much as- sistance, especially in reporting cases of worthy poor in their own sections of the city. The Branches. ‘The mission has ten branches in different parts of the city, and about all these branches are poor people who have to be helped and who are already well known to the workers. These have been aided in the usual way withcut the trouble of a new in- vestigation in each case. All the supplies sent out by the mission are purchased at wholesale instead of giving small orders to retail alers. While this involves added labor for the missicn, it results in a great saving of expense and makes {t possible to aid a larger number of pergons. A comi tee of half a dozen women will hereafter have charge of the distribution of clothing. They are now sorting it for convenience of distribution, and commencing with next ay they will spend the time from lock each afternoon in fitting the needy with clothing. A system of registra- tion is in vegue in the mission which will hereafter enable the workers to give the whcle history of a charity case in a minute. Not Used to It. The mission is helping many families this season whom it would be cruel to class mong the indigent, and their names are not displayed in the public records. It weuld probably astonish charitable people in this city to know how many families are in destitution who have hitherto been well to do and far above the ranks of the crdin ome ¢f them suffer un- told d pfore their true condition is The busy mission werkers nd time today to thank The Star for ervice in behalf of the poor. Mr. the chairman of the board of di- said he never knew great dailies before to take such a deep pcrsonal inter- est im the work of relieving the poor, and he thought The Star especially was deserv- ing of the highest commendation for its magnificent service.

The Many Advantages of Washington as a Place of Reside From the United States Investor. It is universally acknowleds Washington is one of the most delightful cities for re lence in this count Washington is no longer a city of “mag- nificent intention: it has made uv for lack of enterprise in earlier years by rapié strides forward since 1870. places have been reclaimed, and 1 blossoms like the rose. From a neglected southern village—where pigs and goats < puted one’s right of way throuzh mud and dust—it has become one of the most beau- tiful cities ir the world, famous alike for- its fine buildings and broad, shady streets. Nowhere else has so much attention been given to arboriculture; there are over 7 KX) trees in the streets and parks—some- thing more than 800 varieties—and in sum mer the capital is literally rrayed in liv- ing green.” Beantifal and Prosperous. And the city is not only beautiful but prosperous; the rapid growth of business. and the undeveloped resources of the dis- trict promise well for. the future, while every year increases the number ef wealthy men who make Washington their winter residence, thereby adding to the prosperity as well as to the social life cf the capitah Probably in time we shall have the Na- tional University which Gen. Washington planned to establish here; the bonds which he left for that purpose proved worthh and the corner stone of that institution has never been laid, in spite of ex-Senator- Edmunds’ eloquent and able efforts in its behalf. Nevertheless, Washington is “fast becoming the acknowledged home of learner ing, literature and art;” it attracts alike scientists, statesmen, politicians, men of letters and artirts, as well as the business man and pleasure seeker; there is grist for all their mills. Many Advantages. The Cengressional Library, which the largest in this country, is a veritable gold mine to the schol It cortains nearly seven hundred thousand hooks, innumer- able periodicals, pamphlets, files of old newspapers, and many valuable matu- scripts—treasures that a lifetime of re- search awould fail to exhaust.

There is a ing, that when once a person Washington, nothing but pover will make him change the p dence. In no other city can people of mode means live so comfortably; the wide streets and many parks are a godsend to the poor; and the rich are equally delighted with’ the Leautiful drives, elegant homes, and the brilliant social life of the capital. Frank Millet, the artist, who has roameg all over the world, and is a great admirer of Washington still, is ve de- clared during his last vis weeks ago, “After all, there is sim no place in the world like this. And will some one try to explain just what constitutes the charm and the difference?” 0 CAPITOL TOPICS. For Okinhomna’s Admission.
