GENERAL GOSSIP as James J. Johnson, a young “hobo,” who said he was from Mississtppl, complained at police headquarters last night that he had been unmercifully beaten by two watchmen in the Southern railway freight yard, without provocation. He was given @ place to sleep end this morning John Loven and John Turner, the watchmen, Were summoned before the mayor. Johnson said he was walking some dls:ance from the track and was on his way to the police station to get a night’s lodging, when Loven fired a pistol at him several times, the bullets passing in rather unpleasant Proximity to his head, and ordered him to halt, which he did. After coming up with him, he sald, Turner would hit him witn a club and let him get a short distance away, when Loven would level the pistol at him and make him come back to them. Leven claimed that he fired the pistoF to frighten away three negro tramps and Turner said they were forced to tap John- son several times to get him off the com- pany’s premises. Both men said they had to be very severe on the tramps, and it was utterly impossible to place all of them under arrest. The “hobo” made a speecn to the court worthy of William Jeanings Bryan, proving himself an orator of no mean caliber. ‘The mayor presented the watchmen with copies of the regulations gcverning the police and dismissed the cage. G, Hatley Norton’s Hiness. A letter from Dr. Wm. M. Smith, who is at the bedside of Mr. G. Hatley Norton, who {s ill near Old Sweet Springs, says his patient is in a critical condition, and the worst is expected. Besides Mr.’ Nor- ton’s family Messrs. 8. G. Brent and Louls C. Barley are also with him. Fined $20 for Asnault. Thomas Gibson, the negro man who cut Lizaie Richardson in the abdomen a few days ago, mention of which was made tn The Star at the time, was apprehended by the police last night and was gtven a hear- ing before the mayor this morning. The weman tried to shield Gibson in her testt- mony, and said he had expressed sorrow for the act and had given her #4 with which to pay for medical attention. Gib- son claimed that he was drinking at the time and had the knife in his hand, having heen cutting an apple, when he became engaged in a friendly scuffe with the woman, during which she was cut. His hoor dectded that there was a more se- rious aspect to the case than the evidence showed, and imposed a fine of $20 on the prisoner. Dropped Her Pocket Book. Constable Will Webster appeared at the mayor's court this morning, having in charge a negro man, and closely followed by an old lady, who gave her name as Mrs. C. B. Lowe of Washington. Mr. Webster said Mrs. Lowe had called on him at the ferry house a few minutes before to help her catch a negro who had gone up an al- ley with her pocket book, which she had ‘dropped. They went up the alley and found a negro named Ed. Mocabee, whe speedily gave up the book, claiming he had picked it up, and as there were so many people on the street he did not know who had dropped it. There was no evidence to show that he had stolen it, and he was dis- missed. Failure to Pay His Board. Dennis Daly, a white man, who claims Washtngton as his home, has been working on the new sewer in this city and has been boarding with Mrs, John Murphy, on north Payne street. Daly had not paid his board for several weeks, and Mrs. Murphy locked him out of the house last night. Daly climbed over a shed in the rear of the house and tried to effect an entrance through the back door, when Mrs. Mur- phy’s son had him arrested for trespassing on his property. In the mayor's court this morning he claimed that he was merely making an effort to get his clothes out of the house, and upon his promise to make no further trouble he was dismissed, Mr. Murphy agreeing to deliver his effects to him, Charged With Stealing. Andrew Whiting, colored, has been hekd at police headquarters since Tuesday await- ing the claimant of a box of tobac:o which Officer Davis found him trying to dispose of for 7% cents. Whiting told conflicting stories about how he came into easion of the tobacce, but last night theimepatery, was cleared up when W. H. Whiting, a colored grocer, whose store is on Gibbon street, identified the box and claimed that it was stolen from his place en Tuesday af- terroon. His clerk corroborated his testl- mony, and Whiting, the thief, was fined 312, Cases in the Mayer's Court. The following cases were disposed of by Mayor Thompson this morning: Dennis Daly, white, charged with tres- passing on the property of John Murphy, was dismissed with a Peprimand. Wm. Jackson, colored, assault on Mary packsens fined $5. atrick Duffy, white, assault on ete O'Brien, fined $%. ee Thomas Gtbson, colored, assault on Liz- zie Richardson with a knife, fined $20. Maggie O'Brien and Maud Tippett, both white, charged with being drunk and dis« orderly on the street, were sent to the work house for ninety days. Andrew Whiting, colored, charged with stealing a box of tobacco from W. H.Whit- ing, fined $12. John Louen and John Turner, white, charged with assault on J. J. Johnson,were dismissed. i George Stewart, a white man, halling from Washington, was fined $5 for inde- cent conduct. Richard Burnett, white, charged with as- sault on Arthur Mankin, was dismissed. Edward Macabee, colored, charged with taking a pocket book from Mrs. C. B. Lowe of Washington, was dismissed after giving up the pocket book and its contents, there being no evidence to show that his statement that he had found !t was untrue. Noten of Interent. The Bryan and Sewall Club will hold a meeting at the New Opera House tonight, to which every one is invited. Mr. Robert F. Knox, jr., of the First National Bank Is spending his vacation at Atlantic City. A large crowd went from this city to River View last night on the steamer Sam- uel J. Pentz to see the woman bicyelist coast down the “chute.” Officer Beach this morning arrested John Baggott, a white man, who has been want- ed since the 24th of March on a charge of disorderly conduct. He will be given a hearing by the mayor tonight. Mr. Albert C. Murdaugh of the real es- tate firm of Ellerson & Wemple, Washing- ton, D. C., yesterday sold to Mr. John Don- nelly the handsome residence on Prince street occupied by Dr. Wm. M. Smith and owned by Mr. Clarence Norment of Wash- ington. The remains of Mrs. Riley, who died at Providence Hospital, were brought here from Washington yesterday afternoon by Undertaker eatley. The funeral took place from St. Mary’s Church this morn- ing and was attended by many friends of the deceased, who formerly lived in this city. ~ ‘Some one fired a pistol on North Wash- ington street near the old cotton factory about 10:30 last night. Officer Howison tried to locate the effender, without suc- cess. Naval Orders. Lieut. Y. Noel has been detached from the Naval Academy and ordered as exec- utive officer of: the Bancroft; Lteat. Com- mander W. H. Reeder ordered to the Washington navy yard; Commander @ W. Farenholt erdered to command the Mo- Rocacy. MURDERERSMITH'S CRANIUM A Baltimore Physician Finds It to Be Abnormal. He Has a Dolichocephalic Develep- ment and His Facial Angle is Entirely Too Acute. Dr. William Lee Howard of Baltimore has been making a sclentific study of Smith, the murderer of Miss Marguerite Drowns, who {s now in the Baltimore county jail In an artiele appearing in the Maryland Medicai Journal Issued today, Dr. How- ard says: ae PS “I have been dtu@ying the case and per- sonality of Smith, the murderer of Miss Marguerite Drown; He is an croto- maniac. I do met gmtend to attempt to palliate Ris bloody éeed when I make this statement. TOR “For reasors that will be shown later, the sooner the law placés him where the repe- tition of such crime iy made impossible, and what ts more impprtant, where he is un- able to reproduée ‘ais kind, the better for humanity. “These sexual crigges are becoming too requent; it is a form of insanity in a large number of cased, When you nave a man unable to contrpl the sudden sexual im- pulse to such anjextent as to commit mur- der in the face of!snch powerful restrain- ing influences as a_certain knowledge of the fearful consequences which will fol- low such act, 1s he responsible? “The whole subject of sexual perversion is but little understood by the profession and the laity. Medical men recognize the powerful imfluence of the sexual sense on human character ard action, but few un- derstand its aberrations, anomalies and the role it plays in crime. “What is necessary is to prevent the reproduction of criminals. That can only be done by the unsexing of the sexual pervert, man er woman. No better means of suggestive restraint for the criminal classes could be devised than a eunuch walking daily in their midst. For such a crime as Smith committed the law as it is pow written is sufficient; but for all at- tempts of unnatural sexual desireg any such method as a few years’ inaprison- ment ts futile, unsclentific and of no cor- rective value. Such cases will be turned lecse to beccme the breeder of their kind. asures taken to prevent this is the so- lution of the problem. “The first glance at Smith shows a do- lichocephalio crantum, which Lombroso and Calori have shown {s a sign of de- generation. His facial angle is only about seventy-two degrees. His lower jaw is small and effeminate. Should he be placed by the side of the:congenital female crim- inal her jaw would be found strong, prom- inent and masculine tr appearance. It 1s interesting to see these anatomical an- titheses in criminals. “Regarding his position, Smith is out- wardly indifferent; should he be at liberty and have another attack of eroto-mania he would stop at no crime to satisfy his insane desires. —~e+—_ WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. A Material Advance In Batter, Egg» and Cheese—Firmer Feeling. The tendency of prices in the local whole- sale produce market today is upward, and especially iy this true of butter, eggs and cheese, whith produets show @ material advance over the prices quoted a week ago. Butter has jumped a cent and a half @ pound since then, eggs two cents a dozen and cheese about a cent a pound. These products are net unlikely to still further advance, particularly butter. The receipts of poultry have been somewhat Hght dur- ing the week, and prices have, therefore, slightly advanced. The supply of vege- tables and fruits continues large, with prices about as last quoted. Beef and other meats’ ghow no material change. The cooler weather has made the market firmer, and an improvement in both prod- ducts and-trade is already apparent. Stronger_ western advices have caused an advanée in butter of about two cents a pound in the top grades, despite the ef- fort of New York to bear prices down. The market is very ‘firm at the prevailing prices, and as the sypply is still very lim- {ted and the quality poor, an advance rather than a dedline in the present prices may be expected. The prices prevailing to- day are: Fancy Elgin and western ex 19 cents a pound; New York tubs, 12; dairy print, 14; west- ern, 10; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 15; dairy packed, Cheese is firmer, with higher prices, and ag receipts are light and the quality poor, another advance Is looked for. The follow- ing are today’s prices: New York state full cream, large, 9 cents a pound; flats, Wc., and ponys, 11. Eggs, although still very peor in quality, have materially advanced, and are very much firmer thaw for some time, and they exhibit an unmistakably upward tendency. Today's prices: Nearby fresh, 14 cents a dozen; western, L¥ cents, and southern, 12 to 12% cents. Light receipts of poultry have slightly advanced prices, although not to any very material extent, ag may be seer from the foltowing; Live chickeris} 10 to tH cents a pound: of@ fowts, 5 to T.cents; ducks, 9 to 1f cents, and geese, @ to 8 cents.

WHAT NEWPORT FINDS 70 THINK ABOUT Pleasant Mention of - Washing- tonians From Many Points. GOSSIPY NOTES Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle and Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Carlisle and family returned yesterday from thelr outing and every member of the party feels the better for it. Secretary and Mrs, Carlisle, both of whom were compietely fagged out when they went away, have returned in the best of health. Some part of the time they found as hot probably as the sufferers during the torrid wave did on shore, but the few days they spent in the neighborhood of Buz- zard’s Bay were ideal ones for perfect en- Joyment. They were entertained both at Gray Gables and at the home of Assist- ant Secretary Hamlin, while at Mafion. Mrs. Carlisie is going away again soon to make a visit to Mrs, Robert Pendleton Bowler at Bar Harbor, and probably the Secretary will accompany her. The visit has been one long promised. Newport has enjoyed a fortnight of great galety, the present week having been spe- cially interesting, and the coming one is full of events that will serve to keep gos- sipers 49 busy everywhere else as at the scene of action. Two young girls have been presented to society—Miss Van Alen, a granddaughter of the Astors, as well as the daughter of a man on whom attention was strongly directed a few years ago, and Miss Brooks, whose mother, Mrs. H. Morti- mer Brooks, own: one of the finest homes at Newport, and is one of {ts most con- splcuous entertainers. Thousands of dol- lars were spent on the blossoming forth of these two young maidens, and many chan- nels of trade recetved a new current of life by reason of it For the first a ball room was especially built. It was only a can- vas structure, to be sure, but no one would have suspected it from its thoroughly ar- tistic appearance. The canvas which lined its walls was painted by Parisian artists, and each panel was a triumph in its way. For the second coming-out ball the many changes and additions recently made to Mrs. Brocks’ villa received their house-warming com- mendation. For both germans the favors were extremely pretty, and at the latter were all silver novelties. Both brides ap- peared in snowy white, satin and chiffon, and pearl ornaments, which costume is now as settled as are the same materials differ- ently developed for a bridal array. For the coming week. the leading event will be the marriage of Miss Gertrude Van- derbilt and Mr. Harsy Payne Whitney, which will occur Tuesday at neon tn the grand salon of “The Breakers,” the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Cornellus Vander- Dilt. The enfeebled condition of the bride's father throws something of a damper over the festivities, but it Is hoped that he will be able to take part in the ceremony. The flower girls will be Gladys Vanderbilt and Dorothy Whitney. It does net seem so very long ago since all fashionable Wash- ington attended the christening party of this last named young miss, who is now about as old as her sister, Mrs. Almeric Paget, was when she spent her Christmas vacations he: ‘There will be six bridesmaids, also, three of them cousins of the bride, and Payne Whitney will be best man for his brotner. One day of the past week express packages valued at $25.00) and their contents jewels, Were received by the bride,and the chances are that day's experiences have been re- peated again and again. Tt is unders:vod that the young couple will spend the early days of their honeymoon in the Berkshire bills, camping out and otherwise rusticat- ing far from intrusion and bother, on the jarge estate recently purchased there by ex-Secretary Whitney. To more quickly bring back health and strength to Mr. Vanderbilt a trip to Europe and a cruise on the Mediterranean aboard Mr. Wm. K. Vanderbilt's yacht 1s also contemplated. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her young daughter will accompany the invalid. In response to the thousands of inquiries made by friends during the first days of the par- alytic stroke Mrs. Vanderbilt has sent out engraved cards expressing her appreciation. This is a new departure in fashionable stationery methods and as such demands passing notice. Apropos of our late trouble in securing a convenient fund with which to entertain Li Hung Chang. if cur Presidents were as wealthy as Queen Victoria they might se! tle the business very quickly themselves, Inasmuch as by careful management the amount will sooner or later be reimbursed them. These facts represent the difference be- tween the manner of hospitality extended by the head of our own nation and the Queen of England. The only expense to which a President is virtually placed are his state dinners every winter. The num- ber rarely exceeds three, and the guests seldom number one hundred and fifty, alt told. At $5 a head, which is a liberal esti- mate, the cost will be under $500, which will not cut a very deep hole in a salary of fifty thousand a year. Queen Victoria, having a life-long tenure of offce, can do things very differently. Her drawing rooms are perfunctory events, which entail honor and dignity on those attending them, as well as great fatigue and weariness for both hostess and guests.« The garden par- tles at Buckingham Palace are occasions, however, where her guests really do break bread with her, and the royal style of hos- pitality has a chance of showing itself. Elght thousand persons were entertained at the last grand event, and $50,000 was used in the effort, which is not much, all things considered. Fine wines and the choicest fruits and viands were supplied, and the most gorgeous flowers and plants were brought from the royal conservatories at Windsor and Osborne to beautify the grounds. Lord and Lady Playfair and Lord and Ludy Bray of England are among the latest Lenox and Newport lions. Mr. and Mrs® Beecher, the latter the last bride in the Eousehold of the chief justice, are now at Sorrento, visiting Mrs. Fuller. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Patrick of 1921 13th street are spending the month of August at Saratoga Springs, their old home. Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Croffut and the wife and daughter of Major Powell, after having made tke tour of Ireland and England, were on the l7th sojourning at the Isle of Wight. They are expected home in Octe- ber.
