Garden, a florist on Minnesota averue, was shot in ‘the face and painfully injured a day or two since by some unkxrown gunner, who was hunting either in the marshes of the Anacostia river or on the shore. Mrs. Casker, who lives close to the shore, was walking towards the river at the time the gun was fired, and. she received several grains of shot in the face. In view of the almost constant firing by gunners in this neighborhood Sergt.- Arderson has deter- mined to at once detail an officer to patrol the shore and persons found violating the law will be arrested. Much excitement was occasioned last night on Fillmore and Jackson streets by Cherles Rainey, who, wearing only his underclothes, ran down Fillmore street gcreaming at the top of his voice. Word was sent to the Anacostia substation and Serst. Anderson and Officers Robie and Reagan started in pursulgof the man, and overhauled him a short distance from the staticn. Rainey fought desperately, and it was only with considerable difficulty that he was gotten to the station. His condi- tion was such that two physicians were sent for. Afcer examining Rainey they de- cided that he was suffering from the ef- fects of drirk. John Gustafzon died yesterday from con~ sumption at the home of Mr. William Scantlebury, where he had resided for some time. Mr. Gustafson had suffered with the disease for a considerable period. His funeral will take place Monday, and he will be buried in Congressional cemetery. Officer Allen yesterday arrested William Hall and Maggie Hall, who had been sum- moned as witnesses in a case before the Police Court, but failed to respond. Thomas Alder, whose name has of late appeared frequently in the papers in. con- nection with various escapades, has re- turned to Anacostia, and now says he did not try to commit suicide in a barn near Silver Hill, Md., as was reported. ——.—__ TAKOMA PARK.

A practical movement was made a few days ago in the neighborhood of Brandy toward the solution of the good roads problem for Virginia, and a unique contest tcok place between two rock crushers, one = from Illinots and the other from Pennsyl- vania. The two machines were placed side by side in a field containing some very hard rocks. A committee consisting of Mr. A. G. Willis of Lignum and Messrs. Tayicy Clark and J. E. Whitlock of Brandy were appointed to decide upon the merits of the two crushers, and after over an hour's contest the preference was given to the western machine and it was pur- chased by the road board of the Brandy and Stevensburg districts, and will be at ence put to work macadamizing the roads, which badly need improvement.

The specifi- cations are in the hands of the printers, and bids for the work will be received next week. A large crop of hay has been harvested in the vicinity of Brandy, and the hay press is busy going from farm to farm baling the hay for market.

This is probably the best crop of that article ever raised here. George H. Brooke of Pennsylvania Uni- versity has gone to Canada to engage in foot ball practice with the team of which he has long been a prominent member. For twenty years or more Mr. James Stabler of the Sandy Spring neighborhood in Montgomery county, Md., has given a watermelon party at his house, and many of his friends and their friends congregate annually on these interesting occasions to make merry and do justice to the big, juicy, tempting melons that are grown on the place. The party for this year took place last Wednesday evening, and “Uncle Jim,” as everybody calls Mr. Stabler in the county, was in fine feather. He received his guests in his usual cordial manner, and the evening was most pleasantly spent. In addition to the feast of melons, and they had been in the big spring cooling for a couple of days, there was much singing by the talent present, including both ladies and gentlemen, contributors to this part of the entertainment. It was an ideal night, the moon lighting the way for those who had to come for miles from their homes to “Uncle Jim's.” In the yard, on the porch and in the dining room the guests were scattered according to fancy to do justice to the luscious watermelons, and they en- joyed them, too. 2 ‘Among the mafly present were Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.

The Hyattsville Herald, owned and edited by Mr. Edward L. Latimer, has ceased to exist, having issued its final number yes- terday. This paper was started in Jan- uary, 1893, by R. Ford Combs, Edward A. Fuller and W. Brooke Hunter, and has changed hands twice since that time. Mr. B. W. Beavans, the road supervisor of this district, has a force at work grad- ing and graveling the road at Chillum. A suspension bridge has been built across the Eastern branch between Bladensburg and the Island, in the lower portion of that town. An eccentric individual has been amusing himself by going to a number of houses in this town to engage board, giving a dif- ferent name at each house, and claiming to be the foreman of a force at work upon the road for the new electric railway. He took breakfast at one house and dinner at another, and then skipped the town. Mrs. Sewell of Washington is visiting her niece, Miss Margaret Shreve, at Green Hill, near Bladensburg. A pleasant dance was given last night at Walton's Hotel, near Bladensburg, which was largely attended by the young people. Miss Annie Long has returned from a on weeks’ visit to Berkeley Springs, W.

From Harper's. The dress and behavior of the Chinese will not offend Europeans. The women of cen- tral China are not merely most mod»st— they are as completely dressed as any wo- men I have ever seen. They are covered from neck to heels in a costume co:nposed of a jacket and trousers. As Mr. Weldon says: “Their comvlete freedom of move- ment is calculated to produce the most per- fect nation, physically. It is God’s provi- der-ce that this menace to the safety of the world is offset by their innutritious food and their fondness for the crippling of wo- men's feet.” In Japan nakedness is what startles the newcomer on all sides. In China “the altogether” that Trilby posed for is a product that I saw only in the cases of less than half a dozen children. 1 am told that in the country one sees wo- men half bared above the waist when the sun shines tropically, but I cannot prove that. I_ saw one farmer girl with only her pad-like frontlet of cotton on above her trousers, but I cannot announce a national custom upon that slender basis. On the other hand, I saw the women at every sort of labor, squatted down upon the river's edge, climbing like boys, wrestling, frolick- ing, rowing boats with their feet, wading streams, yet never having occasion to re- gard that jealous modesty which is safe- guarded in their dress and in their souls from infancy onward. I never—except in two instances among thousands—raised my eyes to have them meet those of a woman that she did not cast hers down, or turn and run inioors as fast as her “golden lilies’—goat’s feet, Weldon calls them— would carry her. Eyen in the night resorts of the gentle- men, where the bejeweled sing-song girls ply their service of song and attendance during the formal dinrers of men of means, I never saw the suggestion of improper be- havior on the men’s or the wom=2n’s part. To be sure, these women made bold to rub their hands softly against my hair (where I keep what I have, in the back) to see how our shorn hair feels. And they finger- ed my collar and cuffs, and gently touched my plank-like shirt front, and giggled just as little children do under similar circum- stances at home. So like little children were they that I could not bear to think them different In any respect—there in that garden where baby girls only fetched a dollar in the market, until the price rose recently, in Shanghai, because of the ¢m- icyment of girls in the silk-filature fac- ries. - * ———__+-e+___ Reaction Aguinst “Scorching.” From the Minneapolis Tribune. A Chicago paper brings the cheering in- telligence that the recent tendency of bi- cycling club runs to develop into races and scorches has at length caused something of a reaction. A number of riders have organized for mutual protection and have adopted a set of rules intended to permit the enjoyment of the wheel without the usual fast riding and hard work dependent upon the sport. Runs are to be taken once or twice a week under conditions that pre- vent overexertion. The captain is to carry on his machine a speed meter, which will be in such a position that the pace will be at all times known. The speed is to be Umited to six miles an hour, and any mem- ber found riding faster than that will pay for the refreshment of the party at the next hostlery. It would be a good thing if such clubs were organized everywhere, and if, in ad- dition to this, each rider would organize a club all by himself with a constitution and bylaws absolutely prohibiting scorching and the recumbent forward position on the wheel. The Des Moines Register truthfully says that bicycle riding (meaning as it is generally practiced) can no longer be re- garded as a healthful exercise. Everybody has heard of the bicycle back, and now physicians are Calling attention to the bi- eycle face, with its anxious, strained ex- pression and downcast eyes. The scorcher passing through the country sees only a streak of dusty roadway; there can be no broadness of vision and love of nature, such as one associates with horseback rid- ing. The scorcher looks neither to the clover on his right nor the cornfields on his left, to the trees and landscape, nor to the skies above him. His whole energies are concentrated on a mere mechanical exploit. It is time for an effective revolt a; it scorching. If anything can make Blercliny unpopular scorching will do {t. It is rent on the race track, but in amateur and pleasure riding it has no more place than the style of the’ jockey has on horseback riding among ladies and gentlemen. —————_—_+e«___—__ Another Explanation.

Alexander Kent, D. D., who has been in the city during the summer, has devote] his time to keeping up interest in the church work, and the result is that the People’s Church las recetved quite a number of additions to the membership rolls. The Young People’s Society has held some successful meetings on the lawns of members living outside the city. Rev. Edward S. Todd, D. D., pastor of Hamline M. E, Church, has left the city for a short vacation before beginning the winter’s work. Dr. Todd has resided in Eckington during the summer, and has conducted nearly all the services at Ham- line himself. During his absence the pul- pit will be filled by a supply, who will conduct all the services, both weekly and Sunday. Sunday, the 15th of next month, the Church of All Souls (Unitarian) will be opened for worship, having been closed exactly two months. Rey. Rush Rhees Shippen, the pastor, in a few days will re- turn from Jamaica Plain, Mass., where he has spent the summer, and will conduct the services until the end of October, when he departs for his new charge in Brock- ton, Mass. Some minor repairs have been made to the edifice. It is confidently expected that the new parish hall of Trinity Protestant Episco- pal Church will be put to greater use this coming fall and winter than it was last winter and spring. Plans are being form- ed whereby an organization of young men may be formed and debates, a course of lectures, etc., are planned. A gymnasium and bowling alley may also be added to the equipment of the hall. During the summer Yokefellows’ Chap- ter, Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, of the Eastern Presbyterian Church has been engaged in a study of the Bible under the direction of Dr. William Dobson and others. The object of the work has been to prepare each one participating for mis- sicnary efforts. Only five more weeks remain before the Children’s Country Home at Falls Church, established by the local Junior Christian Endeavor Union, is to be closed for the summer. That the home is popular is demonstrated by the fact that applica- tions still continue to be made. The list of superintendents who will have charge frcm now on fs as follows: August 28 to September 4, Miss C. M. Searle of Calvary Baptist Church; September 4 to 11, Mrs. W. H. Pennell of the First Congregational Church provides a substitute; September 11 to 18, Miss E. R. Folks of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church; September 18 to 25, J. T. Cockerille provides a substitute, and September 25 to October 1, Miss M. B. Allen of the Independent Methodist Church, Aceccrding to the understanding at the last meeting of the Presbyterlan Ministers’ Association, which took place in June, the reopening session of the association will be held the first Monday in October. At this meeting the officers are to be re- elected and plans for the coming year mapped out. As soon as the condition of the interior permits of it, a new carpet, for which the Ladies’ Mite Society of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church have raised money, will be laid down. This will be in keeping with the other improvements to the edifice. The committee in charge of preparations for the national conference of Unitarian churches, which meets in this city from the 2ist of next October until the 24th, inclu- sive, expects a large attendance of dele- gates and visitors, though Washington is cousidered a southern city, and the strong- hold of Unitarianism is in New England. Some important questions are expected to be brought up for discussion, and such ad- dresses as will be of :interdenominational interest will be delivered at the Metzerott Music Hail, while the Business sessions are to be held at the Church of All Souls, at the corner of 14th and L streets. Director D. W. Middleton of the vested choir of Trinity P. EB, Church ts preparing to begin the musical portion of the serv- ices of the church again, with the full vest- ed choir. During the heated term a sextet composed of Miss Haley, first soprano; Miss Baliman, alto, and the Misses Wheel- er and Washington, secend sopranos; Mr. Lane, tenor, and J. Strother Miller, jr., basso, have sung the choral services. The Western Presbyterian Chapter of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip will soon give up the open-air services which they haye been holding in a tent at the corner of Virginia avenue and 24th streets, and transfer them to a mission school, ‘to which will be attached a free dispensaty, under the direction of: Dr. J. Thomas Kel- ly, jr. W. I. Simpson will have general chareg, In addition to the school and dis- pensary, a gymnasium and brotherhood reading room and library is to be estab- lished. Rev. S. M. Newman, D.D., pastor of the First Congregational Church, will soon re- turr from Franconia, N.H., in the White mountains, where he has been spending the entire summer. Prof, Isaac Clark of How- ard University, with an intermission or two, has regularly filled the pulpit and at- tended to the other ministerial duties of the pastor. Sunday, the 25th of this month, was the last Sabbath on which Mr. George W. Law- rence officiated as the director of the choir of Mt. Vernon M. E. Church. Heretofore the musical portion of the services has been rendered by a chorus choir, number- ing about fifteen, but from now on the or- ganist and new precentor are to lead the congregational singing. R. S. Fountain has been engaged as precentor, and Miss Flor- ence Ball as organist. The sessions of the Lutheran Ministers’ Association are soon to begin for the fall and winter term. it is likely that much iinportant work will soon be started short- ly, under the auspices of the association. A committee has already selected a de- sirable site for a Lutheran Church in Mt. Pleasant and the furtherance of this pro- ject is to be one of the labors of fhe as- sociation. Rey. Dr. C. C. Meador, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church, has closed his thirty- ninth year since bis ordination to the min- istry and also as pastor of the Fifth Church. The church was organized by Dr. Meador. Among the improvements that are being made to the Church of St. Michael's and All Angels’ is a gallery running round a portion of the interior of the edifice; 1805 will be a notable year in the history of the church, for then the congregation wus organized us a separate parish from St. John’s, and the edifice itself has been much improved. The gallery addition was made necessary on account of the increase in the membership of the church. At the last meeting of the Methodist Ministers’ Association, a committee, con- sisting of Presiding Elder Luther B. Wil- son and Revs. L. T. Widerman and Alex- ander Bielaski, was appointed to arrange for a series of mass meetings in the early fall, in the interest of missions. While the committee has not yet prepared much of the program, still some well known speak- ers have been engaged to deliver addresses. Miss Bessie Farrar of Virginia, well known among members of the Christian churches in this city, will start the com- ing month for India as a missionary, under the auspices of the Women’s Board of Mis- sions of the Christian Church. Miss Far- rar’s outfit numbers, amongst other gifts, several presents from the two churches in Washington. Rey. John E. Fout of the United Breth- ren Memorial Church fwili leave next week for his vacation, accompanied by Mrs. Fout. He is to go dirett to his former home in West Virginia and will remain there nearly all of September. The serv- ices at the church will!be conducted by various clergymen, both: weekly and on Sunday, The Sunday;school has held its sessions right through the summer. Monday week the Methodist Ministers’ Association will meet again after an in- terval of a month anf @ half. As nearly every one of the local péstors is home, a full attendance is expected.

This meteorological paradox 1s presented here for the first time, and the attention of the weather bureau is called to it by The Star writer. It might also be noted that the rain was falling in other parts of the city, but we shall pacs that by. At this moment a clock in the vicinity struck 8 p.m., and ere the last stroke died away a solitary young man in conspicuous attire might have been seen emanating from a doorway not far from the street end of an alley. . Over the doorway three auriferous sphe- roids glinted and glistened in the gloam- ing, aided and assisted by an arc light. The young man carried in his right hand a lady's silk umbrella with a Dresden china knob for a handle. It was a dainty affair and must have cost $2.99, marked down from $3. As the young man came out of the door- way he glanced nervously towards the corner, where a fair young being was ap- parently awaiting his coming. When she saw him emerge she hastened to him with a radiant smile lighting the Uly bloom of her sweet young face, but when she observed the umbrella in his hand her countenance fell, and she would pare stepped on it, had she not stopped in time. “Oh, Harold,” she exclaimed in tones of bitter disappointment, “what ever is the matter?” “No ice cream tonight,” he hoarsely responded. “But my umbrella?” she said with a questioning nod towards it. “N. g.,” he answered. “Why, Harold,” and there was a quiver in her pretty red lps, “couldn’t you get anything on it?” “Nixy,” he growled. Not even enough to pay for the cream?” not, Harold? Did you try real ‘Of course I did, but the old duffer vouldn’t have it a minute, Kitty. He said it was a sign of bad luck to put up an umbrella in the house, and I couldn’t get a single plunk on it.” The girl laughed harshly and looked at him with true woman’s disdain, as he stood helpless, with the umbrella dangling limp and listless in his nervous grasp. It was hardly raining softly by this time and the girl was getting wet. “Well,” she snapped, with a petulant jerk at his arm, “I guess you can put up the umbrella cut here, can't you?” And he did so. ———__. A JUROR’S DIARY. His Impressions of Men and Things During a Trial. From Popular Science Monthly. The following record of a juryman’s ex- perience was made by a carpenter of more than average intelligence: The first day he was impressed with the magnitude of the case and the sadness of the prisoner. He did not sleep the first night, for the reason that four men occu- pied one room. The air was bad, and two men snored loudly. The second day he tried to remember all that the witnesses said, and Its bearing on the case, and at nigkt was very weary and went to bed early, but wakened and disturbed by the other jurors. The third day his head ached, and he could with difficulty follow the testimony. His appetite was poor and he was drowsy. The fourth day he was astonished to hear opposing evidence; statements which had been made by ap- parently honest men were affirmed to be faise. He was shocked, and his first im- pressions and personal interest were dis- turbed. His head ached, and he felt weak and nervous; his appetite and sleep were broken. The fifth day he gave up all ef- forts to follow the testimony or to vnder- stand what was said. He felt stupid and exceedingly tired. The other jurors be- gan to complain of the food and the sleep- ing rooms, and had several quarrels with each other on religious and political mat- ters. Foolish stories were told, and card- playing and personal boasting filled up the evenings. They all manifested disgust at the trial, and longed for the end, and de- clared they would never be caught in a similar case. On the sixth day the case was closed. The arguments of the attor- neys and the judge's charge seemed very dull and wearisome. He felt sick, looked forward to a release, and his interest in the case had died out. He could not un- derstand why so much was said that was contradictory, and why the judge should not tell them the real facts of the case. In the jury room no discussion” took place; each one voted “guilty” or “not guilty,” and when they found the majority was “guilty” most of them followed the majori- ty. Two of the minority became angry and refused to vote for over a day, except in favor of the prisoner. They gave no rea- sons-for their belief, only saying that they were right and the rest of the jury was wrong. Finally, one of these men was ac- cused of having some personal object in voting for the prisoner, and after a short altercation he changed and the other man followed him, and the verdict “guilty” was agreed upon. ———_—_-- e+ ___ Her Consolation.
