A Merchant in Financial Difficulties Missing From the City. Mr. James C. Addison, a paper dealer on Louisiana avenue, who made an assign- ment several days ago, has been missing from the city for two or three days, and his friends seem anxious about him. Mr. Smith, who is now in charge of Mr. Addison’s business, today told a Star re- porter that-he had not the slightest knowl- edge of where Mr. Addison is, and that he had today sent to Baltimore, where the missing man has relatives, to ascertain if they have seen anything of him. Mr. Smith added that his own impression was that Mr. Addison had left him for a few days in order to secure a little rest and to re- cuperate, as he was greatly worried over the turn his business affairs have taken. it was Mr. Smith's opinion that Mr. Addi- son will return to Washington and attend a meeting of his creditors called for Mon- day next. Mr. Addison is a widower, and so far as is known has no relatives in this city. He had a room at No. 808 K street northwest, and it was there learned that he had not been at his room since Tuesday evening. He left no word in reference to his intended movements. ———.__ South Carolina Soctety. The first monthly meeting of the South Carolina Society, organized recently, will be held tomorrow night in the post-gradu- ate hall of the Georgetown Law School. The names of many new applicants for membership will be submitted by the ex- ecutive committee, which passes upon ap- Piications before they are presented to the society. An address wili be delivered by the Rev. Charles A. Stakely, D. D., cnd Prof. C. Meriwether will talk on “The Colonial History of South Carolina.” It is probable that there will be a dis- cussion over the question of turning the society into a club, but it is not likely that this feature will meet with the approba- tion of a majority of the members at this thine. The society was organized purely vor the purpose of bringing South Carolinians into closer social relations, and as this will be accomplished by the regular monthly meetings it is not thought that there will be any change to a club.

Lafayette LOCAL DOGS ON SHOW “The Potomac Boat Club held its annual meeting at the boat house last evening, the meeting being well attended and the greatest enthusiesm being displayed. Re- ports were received from the various offi- ec*s, and the cutlook seems exceptionally bright for an unusvally active season. The election of officers and the selection of standing committees were the most im- pcrtant business transacted, all of the offi- cers, beginning with the vice president, be- ing re-elected. These were as follows: President, G. M. Fague; vice president, S. Roulette; treasurer, C. G: Warden; sec- retary, E. Richard Gasch; captain, W. M. Officy; first Keutenant, John J. Nolan; sec- ond Heuterent, John C. Exner. After the election of officers the standing committees were selected, as follows: Ad- mission of members, Messrs. Quinn, Exner and Guasch; finance, Messrs. Ofley, Doyle and Fague; boat house committee, Messrs. Mashinger, Merritt and Nolan. Several vacar cies In the board of govern- ors were also filled by the appointment of Messrs. W. E. H. Merritt, G.

THOSE QUARTER SEATS. A Grand Stand Patron Objects to the Change. To the Eaitor of ‘The- Evening Star: Permit me, through the medium of your columns, as one who for many years has regularly patronized the representative ball team of our city, and never to a greater ex- tent than during the perlod of which Mr. Wagner has had control, to make a few observations upon that gentleman's in- genious explanation appearing in The Star of yesterday as to the cause of the increase in the number of fifty-cent seats, to the sacrifice of the position of the bleachers. He says that, as.the owners of the visiting teams are entitled to half the receipts, and it being their wish that more room be pro- vided for fifty-cent patrons, the arrange- ment he has made was in accordance with their demands. Now, had the gentleman realized how foolish his statement sounded he would surely have remained quiet, for any observer attendant upon the games for the past few years can readily recall the fact that not ogee during the whole season (possibly excepting the opening game) has the seating capacity of the fifty-cent seats been to the slightest extent tested. On the contrary, at at least 75 per cent of the games Bose seats were not more than two-thirds filled, for I have frequently noticed that inWhat portion immediately to the east of the grand siand not more than a half dozen seats would be occupied. Now comes the query Why, under such circum- stances, would any visiting team demand or even request“that more fifty-cent seats be provided, whgn those already there are far in excess oF the number who patronize them, and why -would not the owner of a visiting team (prefer to see well-filled “bleachers” to empty “dress circle” seats? An unbiased judgment reduces Mr. Wag: ner’s reason to simply this: By covering the fifty-cent seats and removing the quarter seats further into the outfield he hopes to be able, in congequence of the exposure to the sun. together’ with the greater distance at which the game may be viewed, to force the patrons of the bleachers to place an- other twenty-five cents in his coffers. Because of this injustice to the stanchest portion of the base ball patrons, I will here- after withhold my mite, which has not been twenty-five cents, but treble that amount. So the injustice is not to me personally, or to any others who patronize the grand stand, though we can all raise our voices in oppo- sition to such treatment of our fellow root- ers. AN EX-PATRO. A Regular'’s Views. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Star's interview yesterday with Mr. Wagner, Intended on his part to put himself right with the base ball public, has put into an official statement all the grievance that has been claimed on the part of the bleach- er patrons. Mr. Wagner knows as well as we who use the bleachers that the upper or western end was the only desirable place, and he also knows that this is the reason why they are now to be cut off, In the hope that his 25-cent patrons will develop into 50- cent ones. Let him know that this is our limit, and that if we had wanted to get rid of our money any faster that there were but precious few days last year when we could not have gratified that desire. How many days last season did the 50-cent bleachers next to the grand stand on the right field side, with a seating capacity of perhaps 200, have a dozen in them? REGULAR. TOMORROW. LAFAYETTE Game With Columbian University at Capitol Park. ‘The crack base ball team from Lafayette College, at Easton, Pa., will return from their southern trip and play the team of the Columbian University tomorrow after- noon at 4:10, at Capitol Park. The Lafayette team played Monday with Georgetown, one of the prettiest and most scientific games ever seen in Washington. Although it was their first game of the season,, their playing was characterized by sharpness and snap, and the fact that they kad no errors shows their excellence. They will reach Washington from Chapel Hill, N. C., tomorrow morning. Manager Thomas W. Pomercy has charge of tne party. The team is captained by Wilson S. Rothermel, who played on the Atlantic City team last summer, on which played Messrs. Harley, McCarthy and Mahoney of the Georgetown team. The batting order of the Lafayette team will be es follows: Sigman, p.; Barclay, c.; Walbridge, 3d b.; Rothermel 2d b.; Caot.4 Driesbuch, s.s.; Saxton, Lf.; Warm, 1st b.: Lawer, ¢.f.; Clarke, c.f. Captain Greene of the Columbians will probably pitch Cummings, who is fast making a reputation. - Ladies will be admitted to the grand stand without extra charge. IVES RAN OUT THE GAME. Grent Billiards in the Contest With Schuefer. Madison Square Garden Concert Hail, New York, held a large crowd last night eager to see Frank C. Ives and Jacob Schaefer cross cues for the first time at the 18-inch balk-line game. Ives won the break and chose the white ball. The first good werk of the evening was accomplished in the fifth inning. Ives failed to score, yut Schaefer played’ very pretty billiards and forged ahead rapidly. When he had made fifty by good all-round Play he was loudly applauded, and the ap- plause was renewed when the scorer called Schaefer's best run on Monday night was 76, and he had thus beaten his previous highest run. His ninety-seventh shot, a difficult. masse,. was beautifully executed and the audience cheered roundly. ‘There was ancther outburst when Jacob passed the century mark. He kept on until he had scored 115, and after failing on a long two- cushion shot, be gave way to Ives, who was just 110 point# behind, the score standing: Schaefer, 153; Ives, 43. Ives’ face bore a very determined expres- sion when he began his sixth inning, and by @ succession of draws and gathering shots he soon put up fifty and continued until his seventy-fourth shot, a difficult attempt to bank off two cushions for a carom, His cue ball passed between the red and white, missing both by the narrowest of margins. Schaefer's sixth brought out some of the prettiest work that he ever accomplished, 2, 189 6—EIGHTEEN PAGES, and although he only made 68, the inning eg more replete with brilliant plays than the one. In the tenth inning Ives scored 70 points, and Schaefer failed again to score. The champion struck a fast gait in the eleventh inning end very quickly ran up 119. In the eighteenth Ives again got his nerve and ran out the game with an unfinished break of 103 amid a good deal of excitement and cheering at the end of the last play. The ‘summary: Ives—0, 39, 1, 3, 0, 78, 27, 8, 1, 70, 119, 21, 45, 3, 1, 27, 0, 64, 103600. Highest run, 119; average, 31 11-19.

The Robinsons Locked Their Little Girl Up for Hours. Policeman Samuel Wilson, who is the off- cer of the Humane Society in charge of the branch of the work intended to pro- tect children from inhuman parents and others, complained in the Police Court to- day that Johu Robinson, a colored laborer, was responsible for the alleged sufferings of his daughter, Emma Robinson, who is six years old. The Robinsons live on Ridge street, and the husband is employed on sewer work, while the wife is out In sarv- ice. Emma fs their only child, and instead of sending her to school, she was left at home alone during the day, and neighbors charged that she had been left there day after day without food or fire. Sometimes she had bread, but no water, so it was shown by witnesses, and the child’s appeal from her prison was what attracted their attention to the sad case. Robinson works eight hours a day. and all this time and a little more, the child has been left alone in the roo. Usually the doors were lock- ed and the keys either taken away or left outside, where Emma could not get them. Her father was in the dock this morning and two of his neighbors, Mrs. Lizzie Grayson and Ella Lomax, appeared as wit- nesses in the case, in the interest of the child. Officer Wilson and Policeman Evans were also witnesses in the case. “Mrs. Lumax, give me a drink of wate called che child ‘to tints witness, one cola ay. Mrs. Lomax told the court that she re- sponded to the girl's appeal. On this oc- casion she found a piece of bread in the room. Mrs. Grayson gave corroborative preof and said that on one occasion Mrs. Robin- son whipped the child one morning because the latter cried when she went out of the house. “The window sash was left out on one occasion,” said witness. “I bad heard him threaten to kill her, and I supposed he in- tended to do so by freezing her.” “Why aid you threaien to kill your “I only did it to scare her and make her, behave herself,” he answered. “One time* she went in this lady's rocm and ate a dozen eggs. That's more than I could eat myself. “Wasn't that because you had failed to feed her?” “No, sir; I always feed her.

With you and your wife working you shold have boarded the child.” “But I haven't _had work all the winter.” “A woman in the house offered to care fer the child if the parents would furnish the fuel,” said the policeman. “She never made the offer to me,” said Robinson, “Where is the child?” the court wanted to know. y." answered as al the house Sunday, n away Monday morning abou: said the defendant. Judge Miller wanted to know something of the appearance of the child, ani the policeman said she is fat and healthy look- ing.

To the Elitor of The Eventag Star: Generally, I like to read Mr. August Donath’s communications, for I expeci to | find him on the right side of every question. But in his letter of Monday evening he seems to have ignored both morals and logic. The least hopeful way to “change human nature” for the better is to permit vice to “keep open house” for its education, in Places far removed from the atmosphere and influence of the horest and pure-mind- | ed. The aloofness of guilt is its perpetua- tion. To “corral” this form of evil, and raid it often enough to compel it to pay its tax to the city, in the shape of court fines, is practically to license it as a legitimate | business, or, at least, as a concession to the slow development of the human from the beast. It is because “vice always flourishes | most in secret” that the worst possible pol- | icy is to locate it out of sight and smell and touch of the clean and purifying forces of s00d and wholesome society. Let vice “in- | vade respectable localities” aud respectable | localities will invade it. The brother or son is far less likely to visit a questionable house in a neighborhood where reside his mother, sister or sweetheart than to sneak to it in a locality where he is not liable to encounter any acquaintance, save those bound upon the same errand. And I have uo hesitation in declaring that all effort to keep one-half of a vicious class controlled, and in a specified locality, is made, not for the better protection of society. not to offer any snred of remotest kope to that half of | the vicious which is to be “kept under the eye of the police,” but this effort is solely for the better protection of the other and worse half of this same vicious class, who | are not to be “controlled” or “kept under the eye of the police,” but who are to add illegally to the numbers of the “controlled,” | and also to prey legally upon the more mocent portions of society, among whom they are most recklessly “scattered” in ‘respectable localities,” without a word of | protest. On this subject. the expression of men’s sentiments is, as Nat Goodwia would say, “almost huma I heartily believe that if the dread, avoil- ed locality were reclaimed from its present uses, and its unfortunate residents offered a home, or even “scattered among decent people,” as is predicted with so much as- sumed horror, that the contact and comfort and love of good, pure women would be certain to develop in these sore hearts the desire and purpose toward a different life. At the same time, the “fallen” men would, be under the restraint of seeking compan- fons of their sort, if at all, in a coun‘er environment, and so the larger part of the whole deplorable business would fall of its own terrible weight, when its atmosphere was invaded by the vibrations of light and sweetness and purity, from wholesome si roundings. RUTH G. D. HAVE —— Lucas Convicted of Manslaughter. The trial of John Lucas for the murder of Oliver Taylor, last October, resulted in a verdict last evening of manslaughter. The prisoner was remanded to jail to await sentence, it being understood that the ver- dict is satisfactory to him, and that no mo- tion for a new trial will be made. The men were colored, and Lucas finding his wife and Taylor in a compromising position, as he claimed, at a house in Georgetown, an altercation occurred, during which, ac- cordirg to the witnesses for the govern- ment, Lucas struck Taylor down with a wooden potato masher and a brick. The prisoner contended that he was assaulted, and that he only struck Taylor with his fist in self-defense. The defense also claim- ed that death was due to pneumonia, and not to the blows. The jury retired at Sy o'clock yesterday afternoon, and reached a verdict In about half an hour's time. S. | in the public mind. Mr. —— = —— RAPID TRANSIT. Anacostia Bob-Ta! Cars Come in for Criticinm. A joint meeting of citizens of Anacostia and Southeast Washington was held last evening at Haines’ Hall, Pennsylvania ave- nue and Sth street southeast, to consider the question of rapid transit, mainly on the south side of the Anacostia river, but on this side also, so far as is necessary to bring that section into quicker communi- cation with the rest of the District. Mr. D. C. Fountain of East Washington Heights was called to the chair, and Rev. Geo. E. T. Stevenson, pastor of the Baptist Church of the same village, was made sec- retary. The principal address was by Mr. Steven son, and was delivered in that gentleman's usui vigorous style. He expressed the opinion that the District. Commissionera are not anxious to do anything to give tha people across the river rapid transit, and declared that such a view was the only ona that could be deduced from the course heretofore pursued by the Commissioners. Continuing, Mr. Stevenson said the peo- ple of East Washington Heights, and, in fact, all that neighborhood, including An- acostla, Congress Heights, Hillsdale, etc., want rapid transit as quickly as possible, and he believed that if Congress will pass the necessary legislation this much-to-be- desired result. could be secured within ninety days after the approval of the bill by the President. Mr. Stevenson urged that the agitation of the matter be kept up until rapid transit should become an accomplished fact. In closing his remarks, Mr. Stevenson said he was convinced that Senator Mc- Miilan and the members of the District committees in both houses of Congress want to give the people interested the re- lef asked for. He was, he sald, sick and tived of riding in the bob-tail cars of the Anacostia line. Speeches were also made by F. A. Leh- S. Barker, Thomas J. Brown and J. M. Keating, and a resolution was passed by an unanimous vote that Congress be sted to give the necessary authority to ure a better system of transportation between Anacostia and the section b and the central portion of the city, committee, composed of Messrs. Fountain, D. . A. Lehman, R. F. Bradbury, W. N. Freeman and Dr. A. M. Green, waa appointed to secure signers to a petition to Congress to pass the bill introduced by Senato™ Gibson bearing on the subject, and which, in the view of those at tha meeting, fits the case better than any ot the other bills which have been introduced into Congress on the question. —— METHODIST PROTESTANTS. ighth session of the Maryland conference, Methodist Protestant in Baltimore.

He has on knee pants and wore a heavy ulster when he went away. Clarence did net accidentally go off with companions on a railroad train and then could not get back, as so many boys do, but had made the preparations for a long journey, took with him an extra supply of clothing.

There was no reason for his leaving home so far as his father knows, for everything there has been pleasant, and not even an unkind word has been said to him. ——- THYROIDINE, Extract of the Thyro DINE fo ALL oF : : o Cirevlars and medical advice free CHEMICAL ©0., Washington, D, C.
