ALEXANDRA HAPPENINGS The Mt, Vernon Road to Be Completed ‘ Soon. | The Miscellancous News of the Day in the City Across the Potomac— Police Court Business, It is now definitely stated that the Mt. Vernon Railroad Company have made sat- isfactory arrangements with Mr. Frank Hume for the building of their road through his place, and that the work of finishing the read will be prosecuted rapid- ly. All rights of way have now been se- cured, and those in position to know say that by the 15th cr not later than the 20th of May cars will be running through from Washingion to Mount Vernon. The com- pany, it is said, will put {40 men to work in order tc finish the work so as to accom- modate the summer travel, which is stead- ily increasing, over the road. Police Court. Business in the police court has been rather large for the past month. This morning Mayor Thompson had only one cese to dispose of, that of J. C. Thompson, a negro “hobo,” arrested by Officer Knigat as a suspicious character. He was ordered to leave the city within an hour. Several nuisance cases were brought to the atten- tion of the mayor, who ordered that they should be abated at once. Fixing the Grades. The Washington Southern Railroad Com- pany have gangs of men at work on Henry and Fayette streets placing their tracks on thcge thoroughfares on a proper grade. When this shall have been done the city council will take immediate steps toward paving Fayette street and cutting down the west sidewalk north of Cameron stra The square between King and Cameroz has been in an unsightly condition for some time, the drainage being defective, causing puddles of stagnant water to form in several places. Good Templars Elect Officers. ‘The following cfficera have been elected by the Golden Light Lodge of Good Tem- plars for the ensuing year: J. H.

Thompson Education in To the Editor of The Evening Star: Please allow me space In one of your columns to say a word more in reply to a communication signed “Member of Class 'S1." The person who wrote the editorial praising the one of The Star's ts of the opinion that the Colored High School is of very Uttle benefit to the ne- gro of the District of Columbia, if any, and that the true sclution of the negro futurity is “industrial education.” the person so mistaken in of his or ber ideas as he or she is now. pei son says, “That, as a rule, there is literary tendencies, ' science, among the negro race.” Why, when person speaks Ike that he or she must be making a comparison between the two races. The white race has been acquiring the above named things ever since the days of Colet, More and others, where, in fa negro has had only thirty years ca his position in life, and comparing the two races and aliowing for time, the ratlo between them is equal. Now, if the person 1s consistent, why should he advo- cate So much “industrial education,” when a rule there is no money among the negro race? The person knows that there is discrimination in every field of labor. Then who is to feed these mechanles—th negro race? “No, they have no mon So, with the “thdustrial education, will be as bad off as with the “ac education.” has an academic education who cannot grasp an “industrial education” with more firmness? No, the negro needs as much academic education as he can get so as to fill the positions which he clamors for and which he is refused, because, it is claimed, he is meapable of holding. In conclusion, 1 think that because Prof. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute has endeavored to tell us of some of the things we lack, thet some of the Weaker ones of our race have endeavored to swallow a larger mouthful than practi- cable; that Is to sey, they are champloning the cause of “industrial education” as the potent factor for the elevation of our race. So I cannot see the person's gréund for ccmplaining, unless I can apply it to his or her failing to get a position as teacher upon the graduation of said person. A HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLAR. ee MISS BARTON'S EXPEDITION. he demic But where is the person who Received Here of the Work Going on in Armenia. Mr. George H. Pullman, financial secre- tary of the Red Cross Society, and a mem- ber of the expedition to Armenia, has writ- ten a letter to B. if. Warner & Co. of this city, dated at Constantinople, April 14, in which he says: “Having been so completely occupied with our enormous work in Armenia, we have not had one minute's time to think of home interests. Now each and all the ob- stacles have been successfully overcome, and we have three large expeditions in the field. One at Orfa, another at Harpout, and a third at dread Marasch, where hundreds und thousands are dying of the scourge of typhus and smallpox. bach expedition has a great caravan of fifty camels heavily lagen, and all are doing splendid relief work without obstruction or hindrance. When we can finish here we have not the most remote idea, but we fear it will be long months after our lease expires. “We are working here in the cause of humanity and saving thousands and tens oft thousands of lives. The great Joy in thus being able to save life is our only re- ward, and ample It is. “Miss Barton is well and sends her kind- embrances to you.” ——— “DONATION DAY.” News BDiort Tomorrow to Raise Funds for the Ascociated Charitie: ‘The managers of the Associated Charities jeted arrangements yesterday for can- ug the city for donations for the poor. Tomorrow was designated ‘Donation day and the members of the board will give their time to the solicitation of contributions. The city has been districted, and a member of the board will act as chairman in each district. F. L. Moore will be in charge of the workers in Georgetown, Miss Spofford will superintend the work in the second division, Mrs. Dr. Hood in the third, Mrs. W. H. Baldwin and Miss K. B. Hosmer will work in the northeast, while Mrs. J. W. Babson will be In charge in the southeast. John Joy Edson, S. W. Woodward and T. W. Smith will canvass the business section. No money will be taken tomorrow; only subscriptions asked. Money can be sent direct to the central office, or will be called for at any time specified by the contributors. The amount required for the summer's work is about $2,000, and it Is hoped this sum may be raised this week. The main object of the board this season is to pro- vide occupation for many of the poor, and enable them to become self-supporting. THAT WOODEN ROOF. What the New York Regulations Quoted by Mr. Carlisle Say. A correspondent of The Star writes: “The Secretary of the Treasury is evi- dently misinformed when he states, in ref- erence to the roof of the new post office building, ‘the roof as now Jlesigned con- forms to the building ordinances of the cities of Chicago and New York as being @ fire-proof structure.’ “Section 492 of the regulations in force in New York states: ‘Every bullding hereaf- ter erected (for whicn plans have not been heretofore filed and approved), the height of which exceeds elghty feet, shall be built fire-proof; that is to say, all be con- structed with walls of bi , Stone, fron or other hard incombustible materials, in which timber lintels er bond timbers shall not be placed, and .n which the floors aud roofs shall be of materials similar to the walls. The stairs and staircase landings shall be built entirely of brick, store, iron or othes hard incombustible materials. No wood work or other inflammatls materials shall be used In any of the partitions, fur- rings or ceilings ia any such fire-proof buildings, excepting, however, that the doors and windows and their frames, the trims, casings, the interior finish aad the floor boards and sleep2rs directly thereun- der may be made of wood.’ “Section 484 of these same regulations seems to have a direct bearing also on the subject. That section says: ‘If a mansard or any other roof having a pitch of over sixty degrees be placed on any building, except a wooden building, or a dwelling house, not exceeding thirty-six feet in height, it shall be constructed of iron raft- ers, and lathed wi iron on che tnside and plastered, or filled in with fire-proof material not less than three inches thick, and covered with metal, slate or tile.’ ‘These regulations are now in force in New York, und they have formed a basis for the committee recently appointed by the Commiss‘on to revise building regu- lations of the District.’ Another ccrrespondent of The Star re- fers to a statement in Secretary Carlisle's letter that the cost of labor and material for making the desired change in the roof would amount to $35,000, and the superin- tendence for six months. $7,000. The writ- er thinks twenty per cent for superintend- ence exorbitant when, he says, the best architects charge only three per cent and five per cant for similar services.

Last evening Inspector Hollinberger re- ceived word from New York of the arrest of a man supposed to be George Duncan, alias Hunt, who is charged with having rebbed a room in Willard’s Hotel several days ago of two sealskin sacques. The wraps belonged to the Misses Newman of 125 Elliott place, Brooklyn, and were taken during the absence of the young ladies frem their room. A day later the wraps, which are valued at $400, were pawned in Baltimore for 39, and were recovered from the pawnshop by Detectives Horne and Weedon, who had charge of the case. ‘The man, George Duncan, who was stop- ping at the hotel at the time and disap- peared, claimed that he was a commerciai man. Last night Detective Weedon and one of the empivyes of the hotel went to New York to identify the prisoner under arrest there and bring him back for trial. —_—.___ 100 ft. boards for one dollar, best lumber.

Lloyd, the law#er, introduced himself in Judge Miller's court today, when he apeared to charge George B, Durham, a cripple, who was spoken of as “Judge” Durham, with making threats. “He's from Kentucky, sah,” added Lloyd, Pointing to the defendamt. Lloyd occuples rooms in the building corner of 6th and D streets, opposite the Police Court, and Dur- ham occupies rooms in ‘the same building. The men have had a dispute about writing will for a patient in Providence Hospital, and Lloyd feared he might be the victim of a tragedy. Lloyd told an amusing story of the trouble in the law building, all of which, he said, resulted from trouble over the will. Durham, he claimed, had a knife and pistol, and had used the worst language imagin- able, so far as threats were concerned. “What is your business, Mr. Lloyd?” asked ex-Congressman Turner, who repre- sented the defendant. ‘I’m a pettifogger, claim agent and law- yer, sah,” he answered, “and a very poor lawyer at that, sah." “Were you not an actor?” “I was a poor sort of an actor once, sah,” he said, “and I am told you made a poor Congrestman. I drink whisky, sah, and get drunk sometimes, but I never robbed any- body, and can buy and sell yo “Your honor,” said counsel, “I’m getting tired of this, and I hope you will make the witness answer the questions.” “I'll answer them with pleasure, sah,” said Lloyd, “and I’m in a hurry, too, for I have an engagement to make an argument before the Secretary of the Navy, and there's money in it for me.” “Did you write the will for the patient in the hospital?” “Yes, sah,’ answered Lloyd, “and if Judge m says I didn't, he’s a Mar, sah.” hat will do,” Judge Miller said, “we'll have no more of this. If you don’t keep quiet you will have to leave the court.” He refused to leave or keep quiet when spoken to by a bailiff, and finaliy he was permitted to remain in court, with the un- derstanding that he should keep quiet. The case proceeded, and Mrs. Lloyd was called to the stand to substantiate what her husband had said. She repeated the foul and threatening language alleged to have been used by the defendant, and sev- eral Umes while she was on the stand her husband had to be called to account. The colored janitor was called, and he Save his version of the affair. "He had heard the war of words going on in the building for some time, and had heard threats made, “What ig Mr. Lloyd’s reputation?” asked Mr. Turner. “What is his reputation for peace and good order?” The witness evidently thought that coun- sel had intended the question as a joke, for he was too much amused to answer, The defendant then got on the stand to tell his side of the ridiculous affair. He had had several disagreeable conversations with » and Was proceeding to tell of the Tuesday evening affair, when Lloyd, who bad remained silent for at least two min- utes, made another outbreak. This. time, the patience of the court had ceased to be a virtue, and the bailiffs were directed to remove the lawyer-actor from the court. Then there was a resistance, and force had to be used to get aim out of court. Lioyd’s little child screamed, his wife cried, and for a short time all was confusion. When quiet had been restored the case proceeded, and the charge against the de- tendant was dismissed. High School Boys, Get Together. Only two more days to score in the Ster- Ing bicycle contest.
