AUTUMN IS COMING Approach of the Most Delightful Season of the Year. CHARMING DAYS, GLORICOS NIGHTS Suggested by a Philosophizing and Poetic Tramp. HARDSHIPS OF HYGIENE An ancient and dilapidated tramp, with hickory shirt open and inviting the breezes to cool a weather-beaten cuticle, stood waiting his turn at the pump at 3d street and Indiana avenue this morning. “Warter!” he ejaculated, with a disdain- ful sniff, as he eyed the dipper with some- thing like suspicion. “Warter! Ez it I didn't hev troubles enuff ‘ithout bein’ fo'ced up agin thet! A-doorin’ ov th’ hot" days I hed munny, but shied away fum booze, bekase booze Is bad w’en th’ thomy- ter goes up erbove ninety.

Tharfo’ I drinks warter this mawn- in’, w’en th’ weather is jest right fur as- simylatin’ of th’ verdant gin sling er th’ festive schooner beer. “It on’y goes ter prove,”. continued the tramp, after taking his. dipperful of water and wiping a wry face on his tattered sleeve, “thet a too clost observince ov th’ rools ov hygen is lable ter be misleadin’ to er mortarfyin’ degree. P'raps sum: philos- serfer ud say thet ef I'd a kep ez clost er tab on moral laws ez I did on them ob kealth I'd er still hed boodle secreted aroun’ my overalls, but thet’s neither here nur theer.

I’m mightily like wegetation in th’ fall, w’en I gits th’ price, an’ I heered er long-hair tramp wunse de- scribe me at sech er time right down ter th’ groun’. He sez, sez he: “Leaves hez they times ter fall, And so hez 1; Th’ reason thet we falls Is ‘cause We both gits dry. “Th, on'y difrunce ’tw!xt Th’ leaves an’ me, Is, I falls harder an’ Mo’ frequeatles.” An’ they’s mo’ truth ‘n poitry in thet, mister, er I'm er dood. As he walked off in an uncertain way down the street the leaves from the maples and sycamores fell around him and gave the weather man of The Star the first dis- tnct impression in It of the fact that autumn seemed to be coming on apace sure enough. The gutters were littered with the ery foliage «hat dropped from the boughs, and across the p: and reservations there were glints of brown end yellow, not alto- gether due to the steady, hot and dry spell through which Washington is helplessly passing. The thought of the coming days put new vigor in the veins and fresh hop in the heart. The present seemed less di agreeable as the mind looked back to the past years aud remembered those delightful autumns extemling from September right up to Christmas, with every day full of sparkling ozone, bringing color to wan cheeks as it did to the lingering leaves, and making life doubly worth living, when it was spent in Wasaingion. It was a cheer- ing retrospect, and it inspired the still more pleasant anticipation that in but a little two or thr2e weeks this fortunate community will be entering upon just such another season, where delightful days will be followed by nights of nirvana, and none will care to remember that a thermometer ever registered higher than 77 in the shade. So the present weather paled into insig- nificance and the less said about it the better. ——$_— THE counrTs. Equity Court No. 2—Judge Cole. Mitchell agt. Pierce, et al.; order correct- ing decrees.

Forecast till § p.m. Sunday—For New England and eastern New York, fair, fol- lowed by showers Sunday afternoon; south- easterly winds. For the District of Columbia, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, rain; southerly winds. For Virginia, rain; southeasterly winds. The gulf storm, as will be seen by the map, is fairly on the land today. The in- dications are that it will not develop any special severity, though rather heavy rains will accompany it as it moves up the At- lantic states, especially if it joins the storm in the lake region. The area of high pressure stretching from Florida to Nova Scotia will tend to keep back these storm conditions, and in con- sequence there may be more or less steady rain for thirty-six hours in the middle Atlantic states. Over an inch of rain has fallen in North Carolina during the last twenty-four hours. The second point of importance to be noted on this map fs the high pressure area in Alberta, to the north of Montana. For about two weeks low pressures only have appeared in this region, and the pres- ent change to high pressure betokens a cooling of the air where previously there has been a heating. Tide Table.

Singular Hiding Place Selected by Two Rough Characters. About ten o'clock last evening Detective Helan and Patrolman Flather raided the rusty boiler of the old steamer Coit, on the flats of the Potomac, abgut two and a half miles from the Long Bridge on the District line, and arrested ;Wm. White, alias Chas. Brown, alias €has,, Harris, and Peter Gaskins, both colored, on the charge of stealing a cow from the pasture of Wm. P. Magruder, at Bladensburg, owned by Chas. Gaither, colored.. Deputy Sheriff Hickey of Prince George's county, Mary- land, and John E. Bowles assisted the officers in making the arrests, They had to descend a steep embankment at the railroad bridge in order to get into the boiler, The thieves had, made prepara- tions to stay there for same time, as they had a number of cooking utensils and ccal-oil lamps in their place. of hiding. They at first defied the, officers, but the latter drew their revolvers and compelled them to surrender. White was sent to Hyattsville early this morning, tried before Justice -Carr and committed to jail at Marlboro’ to await the action of the grand jury, at the October term of the circuit court. Gaskins is held by the District police au- thorities for further investigation. White, it appears, stole the cow and employed Gibson to dispose of it in Washington, and the latter was arrested by Detective He- lan, Patrolman Flather and Sergeant Joe Acton while trying to sell the animal yes- terday morning. White was on hand when the officers arrested his pal, but managed to escape them for the time being. Gibson was brought to Hyattsville yesterday morn- ing by Acton and Helan in a surrey. Jus- tice Carr issued a warrant for his arrest, and Deputy Sheriff Hickey and John BE. Bowles went to Washington yesterday with Gaither, who identified the cow. Gib- son was committed to jail last evening to await the action of the grand jury for being implicated In the case, and made a full confesston to the officers. giving them the hiding place of his companions. This was what led to the arrest of the other men. ————— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Charles Johnson and Emma Jane Winters; William E. Sherwood and Janie A. Sher- wood, both of Fairfax Court House, Va.; James R. Plott and Alice O. Dudley, both 4 Va.; George Hoffman of Cin- io. and Minnie Schmidt of Louis- ; Benjamin Beckwith and Fannie ville, Ky Mathews. ———— A New Ribbon Bicycle Chain. From the New York World. A Frenehman has patented a metallic ribbon, intended to replace the chain now in use on bicycles. The objection to the chain is that it quickly becomes smutty. The metallic ribbon is made of steel of the quality used in piano wires, and at regular intervals orifices are cut. The rprocket wheel engages the ribbon with the aid of these holes. This ribbon can be cleansed in a moment, a point that will be appre- ciated by cyclists who have been called upon to perform the noisome task of cleansing the chain with kerosene after a single day's journey.

The Dispute Between Third Baptist Church Members Settled Out of Court. The trouble between members of the Third Baptist Church,. colored, growing out of the handling of the funds collected from the sale of tickets for an excursion, as published in Thursday's Star, has ended. Prosecuting Attorney Jeffords has nolle prossed the charge of embezzlement pre- ferred against Edward Taornton by W. C. Kelly. W. C. Kelly is not a minister or pastor of the church, as was understood by the police at the time of the arrest, and Thornton is not an official of the church. Rev. James H. Lee is pastor of the church. The case was nolle prossed because there was a satisfactory settle- ment out of court. —— Transfees of Real Extate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Rufus H. Thayer to Elizabeth P.

Acting Secretary McAdoo today received @ telegram from Admiral Kirkland, com- manding the European squadron, saying that the cruiser Marblehead left Graves- end this morning for Gibraltar, in pursu- ance of orders to proceed to Syria for the protection of American interests in that country. It is expected that the cruiser wili make only a short stop at Gibraltar, and will lose no time in continuing her trip fo the Syrian coast. Her commander will be expected to co-operate with Min- ister Terrell in Investigating the recent outrages at Tarsus and Marsovan, and in seeing that American interests in that vi- cinity are fully respected. The warship will also afford an asylum for ali American citizens who may require a temporary place of refuge. ———— Cruising of the Monterey. < The Navy Department is informed that the coast defense vessel Monterey, which has just completed a creditable cruise to Chile, left San Diego this morning for Redondo Beach on her way to San Fran- cisco. Naval officials are highly gratified at the cruising capabilities of this vessel, as demonstrated on her recent long cruise along the coast of Central and South America. Effects From Overcycling. Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson in the North American Review. There are further injuries done to the youth, male or female, through other or- gans of the body, and especially through the heart. Dr. Kolb, as well as myself, has found that it is the heart that is principal- ly exercised during cycling. So soon as brisk cycling has commenced the motions of the heart begin to increase. In this re- spect cycling differs from many other ex- ercises. Rowing tells most on the breath- ing organs; dumbbells and other exercises where the muscles are moved without pro- gression of the body tell most on the muscles; while in climbing and long pe- destrian feats it is the nervous system that is most given to suffer. There is not a cycle rider of any age in whom the heart is not Influenced so as to do more work, and although in skilled cyclists and train- ed cyclists a certain balance is set up which equalizes the motion, such riders are not exempt from danger. I have known the beats of the heart to rise from 80 to 200 ir. the minute in the first exercise of ridirg, an increase which, for the time, more than doubles the amount of work donc—a vcry serious fact when we remem- ber that the extreme natural motion of the heart allows it to perform a task equal to raising net less than 122 foot-tons in the course of twenty-four hours—that is to say, over five foot-tons an hour. In the young we may apply the same argument to the heart as we have done to the skeleton; the beart Is undergoing its development, and {t !s an organ which cannot without danger be whipped on -be- yond its natural pace. What occurs with { under such circumstances is that it gro’ larger than it ought to grow, that It works out of harmony with the rest of the body, and is then most easily agitated by in- fluences and impressicns acting upon it through the mind. I have many times seen this truth illustrated too plaiuly, and I doubt whether in the young, after ex- treme exercise, such as that which arises from a prolcnged race, the heart ey. comes down to its natural beat for a period of less than three days devoted to repose. VENDERS OF FRUIT A Business That Has Fallen Into the Hands of Italians, CAPITAEISTS WHO EMPLOY THEM Said to Have Been Amassed Out of Push Carts. Fortunes THE ORGAN MONOPOLY ———— In no ‘line of busit.ess are capitalists ™ore powerful than the men who own the push carts en which Italians whee! around bananas, together with strect organs and candy stands that spring up wherever crowds assemble with a stock of candy and very light-colored taffy, which are sold for five cents a package. There is a prevailing idea that the ftal- lans who sell fruit about the city and who gather in pennies by grinding an organ or selling taffy are miniature capitalists struggling to establish themselves in busi- ness.’ This is a great mistake, for, as a rule, these men do not own the push carts on which their wares are wheeled about and would not be able to pay $25 a year for the privilege of selling fruit. They not only do not have to put up the money to get a license to grisid an organ on the public thoroughfares, but they are not put to the expense of having their or- gans tuned. The candy venders have no need of money with which to buy the little wooden table on which they place tMeir Sweets or the candy itself. All this is done by men of their own nationality who are credited with having amassed fortunes from their business. The Italian street venders are the most close-mouthed class of people in the com- munity.. They know nothing ebout their own business or the busiress of any of their kind and are mute if asked ques- tions. If any one inquires about the way trade is progressing with them, there is but one answer. It is this: “No maka the mon for paya the rent. Losa mon ala time. Go back Italia land mighta sooa.”” Yet, notwithstanding this discouraging outlook in business, fruit stands, fruit push carts, the organ grinders and the candy venders keep at their werk, and every lit- tle while one of them says farewell to his countrymen and goes back to Italy for the purpose of resting for the balance of his aays on his earnings in this country. The Push Cart Trust. It is estimated that there are over 100 push carts for fruit in Washington. The great majority of these carts are « wned by one man and they are all the property of not more than three men. These magnates keep the carts going and pay the men who push them about a percentage on the sales. There is a very considerable repair shop lo- cated in an alley between Pennsylvania avenue, B street and Ist and 2d streets, and it is to this shop that all the broken- down h carts are taken to be ded. It is part of the contract of the prop: of the cart to repair ordinaty injuries not resulting from carelessness on the part of the man in whose charge it is given. But if it is broken through any carelessness of the pusher, the cost is charged up to him. Not far from this repair shop is located the candy factory where much of the cheap candy sold by street venders is made. When this candy is sold at a price less than that for which white sugar can be bought it seems very strange how a profit can be eked out. But there is a profit, of course, and {t not cnly pays the man who sells the goods, but pays the capitalist who is back of him. Stendy Employment for All. No Itatian who has the strength to push a candy or fruit cart, or who can griad an organ, need be out of work in Washington at any time. This fact is the result uf the organization among Italians here. As soon as an Italian lands in the city he Is direct- ed by one of his friends to one of the maz- nates in the lines of pusfness monopolized by his countrymen. These gentlemen look him over, give him a lecture on nonesty, and set him up in business. A push cart that has seen a good deal of wear and tear, the market value of which would be about $10, Is given him, and he is told where he can go daily to be loaded up with bananas. Then he is given a license, which alone is worth $25 a year, and if he is energetic he will make enough money to pay his em- ployer well for the capital-Investe], as well as to pay his own expenses and permit him to save money. But the love of ccuntry- men isnot so strong in the Italian breast as to countenance laziness or dishones if it Is detected. The Itallans must work, and the only evidence that will be accepted by the owners of the push carts, as showing that they really have worked, is the amount of sales made, while the only evi- dence of honesty is the prompt remittance of money secured from these sales. Every day the account is squared, and there must be no shortage. If rotten fruit should be discovered by a man in charg2 of a push cart he dare not throw it away, but allows it to remain in the cart until he has turned in his account, and then he presents the decayed fruit to be received back and credited to him. But even such evidence as this is not taken without questioning, for the preprietor knows that {t Is possible for the man to have sold his good fruit and to have purchased the rotten stuff from some Ee? x ane price which was cred- ed against him fot | f ha rece've, r the fresher fruit he a man In charge of a push cart is ar- rested and has to pay a fine in the Police Court, it is the capitatist who backs him up in business who puts up the money, pro- vided the fine is a less amount than the man could earn dufing the time he would have to serve a sentence in jall, were he to accept the alternative and be incarcerate‘. The great success of these fruit venders and candy men is accomplished because they lose nothing. Everything they have must be sold, and {f the fruit advances too closely on a state of rottenness, the price is lowered so that the newsboys, hoot. blacks and other street urchins are’ tempt. ed to but it because of the large amount they cen get for their money. An Organ Monopoly. Nearly every street organ In the city of Washington is owned by one man, and he receives a percentage on the money taken in by the organ grinder as rent on the in- strument. He keeps the organ in repair and provides a license for the man, It is said that one of the men who is a large capitalist in the matter of orzans and push carts owns nearly all the prop- erty on a square west of 9th street and south of Pennsylvania avenue. The same man is also credited with owning Houses on E street which would probably be valued at $100,009, But although the capitalist secures @ profit that allows him to amass such a fortune, the Italian employes generally seem quite content with the system under which they work, for it permits them to be at work always, and the wares in which they deal are of such a character that the hard times do not seem to affect their sales. The ambition of every manipulator of a push cart is to save enough money to set himself up in business in a fruit stand. In a number of fastances two or more fruit stands are owned by one man, but such businesses ere more generally owned hy the individual running them than in other in- dustries in which the Italians embark. The hours of the men who tend to these stands are generally from about 8 o'clock in the morning until 12 midnight. The usual pay for men who do this work on salary is $20 per month, and with this money they not only maintain themselves, but save an amount that would astonish the average clerk whose salary is from three to five | times as great. But the most general dread among the Italians fs that some one wil) get an idea that they have money, and they take great pains to impress upon people with whom they come in contact the idea | that they have not a cent in the worid. They answer any question regardi financiai condition in the same tenor as the replies of the owners of fruit st: “No mon.
