THOMAS HOVENDEN'S HEROISM. The Bminent Artist Dyes Trying to Save a Little Chita, * Thomas Hovenden, the artist, was in- stantly killed yesterday-afternoon at the grade crossing ofa trolley road and a branch of the PennsyWimnia railroad in Plymouth township, not gar from Norris- town, Pa. Owing to a legql fight, the trol- ley cars do not cross the other tracks, and passengers must change cars. A freight train had just moved away when the pas- sengers in the trolley car, including the artist, started across. Just’ then a passen- ger train was seen rapidly approaching. All jumped back but a fite-year-old gi Mr. Hovenden noticed ,the-child's danger, and, springing onto the track, right in front of the engine, attempted to save her life. He was just a second tog late, however, and both were struck by the engine. While the child was hurled to one side, Mr. Hoven- den was caught by the cowcatcher and car- ried fifty yards. Whén the two were picked up it was found that they were dead. Both had their skulls crushed and death must have been instantaneous. A pathetic incident occured just then. A little boy, seeing the crowd about the prostrated man, ran forward, and eagerly asked if,he could be of any service or should he go for a doctor. He was told that the man was dead. With childish curl- osity he pressed forward to learn who the victim was, and taking one glance fell in a swoon. It was his father, and the kindly disposed lad was Thomas, the nine-year-old son of the artist. Thomas Hovenden was one of the most conspicuous of American painters. No one of his time had earned a wider popularity or enjoyed to a higher degree the admira- tion and respect of his profession. Born in Ireland, December 28, 1840, he began his studies in Dublin, but came to this country in the early period of the war. In 1874 he went to Paris, where he worked under Cabanel, and immediately began to exhibit in the Salon These pictures were mainly ef Breton peasant life. His studies in Brit- anny led to an interest in the heroic strug- gles of the people, and in 1880 he exhibited the picture of the Vendean peasants arm- ing for battle, “In Hoc Signo Vinces;” which established his reputation. In this year Hovenden returned to New York, where the picture just named was exhibited at the National Academy. The sympathy with the weak and humble that was a deminating influence in his charac- ter interested him in the negroes, and for several years his pictures. were generally of their life. He settled at, Plymouth Meet- ing, and he and his wife set up their studio in an old barn that had done service on the underground railway. Here he painted some of the best of his negro pictures, and notably the “Last Moments of John Brown.” In the plain Perinsylvania home he found his material, transfiguring it with a touch of art. It is necessary to mention only one of his later pictures, “Breaking Home Ties,” to awaken q universal sym- pathy. No picture was ever painted In America that reached as deep as this into the universal heart of the people. The “Bringing Home the Bride,” which follow- ed this, was less successful. He was a thorough master of the whole technical range of his profession and experimented with and mastered every-new method that came along, though his own serious style was already well formed. He painted Jand- scape, flowers, portraits, all brilliantly; he was one of the most successful American etchers; he was widely and deeply read, and with his Irish impetuosity he had an Irish- man’s warmth of heart and sincerity of affection that made him one of the best- loved men in the profession. Mr. Hovenden came to Washington in the fall of 1893, and opened a studio on 17th street. During the following winter he gave an exhibition of his works at the V. G. Fischer gallery, which was one of the mest successful of the year. Mr. Hovenden was warmly welcomed by the Washington artists, and made many friends during his two years’ sojourn here. coo Another “Hope” Story. “The Madness of Lord Harry Culver- hese,” by Anthony Hope, will be publish- ed complete in Saturday’s Star, extensively ard beautifully illustrated. The scenes are in Strelsau, in the forest of the Castle of Zenda, made so familiar by Hope’s famous book. THE CASE OF ERNEST GREEN Rey. Mr. Brooks Has Some Remarks to Make. His Characterization of the Act of Taking the Fruit—A Reply to Mr. LeDuc. fo the Editor of The Evening Star: Under the caption “Fruit Stealing on Washington Heights,” Mr. H. M. Le Duc gave to the readers of The E£vening Star Friday last an article, in which he takes me to task for a certain remark m.ade by me at the funeral of the unfortu- rate victim of Miss Elizabeth Flagler’s awakened wrath—Ernest Green—as to the moral quality of the last earthly act of the dead boy. Mr. Le Duc thinks that I made a great mistake and am guilty of the “minimizing of crime” when I speak of that act as an act of indiscretion. In his opinion, the act was a simple case of “fruit stealing.” His opinion, however, is not founded upon truth, It is a mere assumption. In asking tke readers of The Star to accept his state- ment as correct Mr. Le Due says: “The facts are, as witnessed by the boys them- selves before the coroner's jury, that they went to Gen. Flagler’s for the purpose of getting the pears.” I have the testimony of the lads before me, as printed in The Evening Star Saturday, August 3, 1895. C. C. H. Perry, one of the boys in question, according to that testimony, had passed the Flagler residence repeatedly and never had touched the fruit, and at the time of the tragedy the elght boys who were fired upon were “‘on their way out to play ball.” There is absolutely nothing in the evidence sub- mitted by the boys before the coroner’s jury that in any manner indicates that they set out from home for the purpose of steal- ing or otherwise securing the fruit which grows on Washington Heights. It is ad- mitted that when they reached the Flagler residence and saw the fruit some of the party “stopped there to get some pears.” Charles Nale says all the boys stopped. It was the sight of the fruit that caused the boys to slacken their pace, but such was their appreciation of the property rights of others that they made no attempt to enter Gen. Flagler’s premises nor to touch the trees of his orchard. Mr. Le Duc wrongs both the living and the dead in’ putting into the mouths of the boys who testified before the coroner's jury at the inquest of Earnest Green words which their lips never uttered. The act of Earn- est Green which I call an indiscretion consisted in taking from the parking in front of Gen. Flagler’s residence a cast-off pear by reaching his hand through the openings of the iron fence. The one way to determine the moral quality of that act is to ascertain the moral state of the actor at the time of acting. 1f Earnest Green intended to take what belonged to Gen. Flagler and appropriate it to his own use or gratification without Gen. Fiagler’s permission, the act was one of theft. What I krow of Earnest Green prompts me to say that in taking a discarded pear from the ground in front of Gen. Flagler’s res:dence it was not his intention to take it without the consent of Gen. Flagler. ‘That consent was inferred. Was not the infererce reasonable? Does not the hunter pursue his game from forest to forest on the inferred consent of the lend owners over whose lands he passes? Do not many of the poor patrons of every dry goods heuse, in the moment of special need, pick from the flcor and appropriate to their own use pins which lie here and there in their path, on the inferred consent of the owners of these establishments? Do not the poor, by the almost universal consent cf land owrers—a consent inferred from the mere force of custom—scour the woods and the corners cf the fences of such per- sons for miles around, in order to secure and carry away uncultivated berries, which they use or sell for their gratification, or the advarcement of their own personal in- terests? And it is by such unwritten consent, in- ferred, because it is well-nigh universal in some sections of the country, that the passing stranger tastes, with impunity, the discarded fruit which covers the ground be- neath trees near the public highway. It is not to be supposed that Earnest Green, so young and altogether unused to people whose niggardliness of soul prizes a of half-ripe, worm-eaten fruit, which is theirs, above the value of a human soul, which is God's and His Christ's, would have concluded that the guardian of the discarded pear which he picked from the ground and ate was an exception to the ordinary owners of orchard trees. Herein was the mistake of the child. His was an error of judgment. A child of wider and closer observation would have acted differ- ently. It is not well to presume that city people, who use city property as orchards in which are grown their favorite br: of fruit, are as lberal to the passing stranger as the old farmers of the Vir- ginias, the Carolinas and the states gener- ally in which colored people for centuries have had their being. But Mr. Le Due is not satisfied with drawing upon his imagination for testi- mony in his effort to convict Earnest Green of theft and me of undervaluing the de- merits of a crime. He cites an experience of his own with merciiess thieves who rob- bed his orchard of every single bit of fruit ere it was half ripe, and adds the following —strong alike in invective and the element of the untrue: “And this is what our Brother Brooks calls an indiscretion, and even intimates It is parallel to.the act of our Savior in plucking ears of corn on the Sabbath day.” Now, the truth is, I never heard of Mr. Le Duce’s fruit trees until now, and, there- fore, could say nothing about them at the funeral of Ernest Green: nor have I at any time said thai ealing in any form, or by anybody, is an act of indiscretion. Judging Earnest Green by the character of the mo- tive which I conceived that he entertained in his last earthly act, and the customs of fruit growers in many parts of the country, I pronounced his deed guiltless of all moral obliquity. I spoke of a specific case, and in the handling of that case intimated a par- allel between Earnest Green's act and the act of Christ's disciples, who ate of the standing grain in passing through the fields on the Sabbath day. In both Instances the food eaten was se- cured without leaving the ordinary path of travel; in both the consent of the rightful owner is inferred, and in both only an in- significantly small portion of the owner’s possessions are touched. Mr. Le Duc’s statement, like his testimony of the boys before the coroner’s jury, is wholly a thing of his own making. There is a vast dif- ference between taking a cast-off pin from the floor and tie willful and malicious rob- bery of a store of all the packages of pins to be found in the place. In the one case the consent of the owner is implied; in the other it is not; and therein lies the moral difference of the acts, a difference of qual- ity, and not one of mere quantity. I am truly amazed at Mr. Le Duc’s art of putting things. Let me say to Mr. Le Due, In conclusion, that I anticipated his one wise suggestion, and on Sunday morning, August 4, 18 preached a special sermon to children from the words, ‘‘Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” (liccl. 12 sermon I urged the little ch church and congregation never to do or undertake to do anything in iife without first consulting God, and to avoid whatever He does not incline them to do, after prayer, reflection and the reading of His word. In so doing they would he protected egainst acts of willful sin and the pains of indiscretion. In that address I did not see fit to heap reproach on the name of Earn- est Green, but made most of the oppor- tunity to teach little children to embrace Christ, and then to so keep the Lord he- fcre them as to shun tho very appearance of evil.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Kindly allow me the privilege of entering a protest through your columns against what seems to me to be a flagrant abuse of the rights of taxpayers and residents of Delaware avenue between K and I streets northeast. At present the avenue is com- pletely blocked with a barricade of drain pipes, making it anything and everything but pleasant for the residents adjoining the same. It is possible that these pipes were placed there by the District authorities, but it seems to me that a much more con- venient position could be secured than the one they are at present occupying, and one which would afford less injury and damage to the adjacent property holders. Private citizens are prosecuted for violating pro- visions of the ordinances respecting the publi¢ domain; therefore, in this case, where the converse is presented to us in that the District authorities are the ag- gressors, it would seem to ms immediate steps should be taken by them to repair the said injury and damage. I would state that when the so-called improvements were made on Delaware avenue some time ago extensive betterments were assessed; con- sequently the residents feel as though they were and are entitled to a more considerate treatment at the hands of the authorities. A PROPERTY HOLDER. ——— Held for the Grand Jury. Today in Judge Mills’ court a young man named Herman Donath was charged with obtaining from James W. Randolph the sum of $4 under alleged false pretenses. Donath had been employed as clerk at Cobb's Hotel, and Mr. Randolph, who is manager and husband of Cyrene, the dancer, had stopped there. He owed the hotel a bill and also had his trunk on stor- age. The defendant called upon him and presented the bill. Mr. Randolph says he represented himsclf as T. J. Hardisty, a private detective, and he (Randolph) finally gave him $4 cash and an order for $17. Judge Mills heard the proof and held Do- nath in $500 security for the grand jury. and Evalyn Dawson of Md., are the | ————S—S—S—S—S—SS= FLEET TROTTERS MATCHED. Local Horses Will Settle the Question of Supremacy at Rockville. Considerable interest has been awakened among local horsemen over the contro- versy that has been going on for some weeks between John Dugan, owner of Prin- cess Orloff, and Clayton Forney, who owns the trotting qualities of Nina Noble, as to the respective superiority of the two mares. The animals met Tuesday at Brightwood Park, and after a series of hot heats Nina won the decisive one by a nose. Mr. Dugan was not satisfied with the result and offered to race the Princess against Nina again, the best three in five- mile heats. After some discussion the match was made for $275, and it was agreed to trot it September 3, at Rockville, on the opening day of the annual fair of the Montgomery County Agricultural As- sociation, which will add a substantial purse to the side wagers. The mares are quite evenly matched, and a gocd deal of money is being wagered on the result, with Princess Orloff slightly the favorite. ——— Concert at the Barracks, Following is the program which Prof. Fanciulli has arranged for the concert at the barracks this evering by the band of the United States marine corps: March—Mystic Shrine.......
