He Broke Off a Piece Because His Wife Wanted Him to—Other Police Court Cases. Business in the Police Court is getting dull for the lawyers and some of them are anxious to go on campaign tours for the side that will pay the most money. “I want to go down in Maryland and stump the state for Bryan,” said one of the colored lawyers during the regular free-for-all political discussion today. “If the committee will give me $500 I won't be seen her again until after the election.” “But Bryan will carry the state without any assistance,” remarked another. “I don’t know so much about that,” re- torted the man who wants $500. “There are too many Quakers in Maryland, and unless there is some good work done the state will surely go for McKinley.” Judge Kimball's appearance in court put a stop to the discussion In the procession were five men, while about the court there were a dozen lawyers. Before court open- ed some of them had stood on the front porch ana watched the “Black Maria” for clients, while others were on the lookout for friends of the unfortunate, but the fees paid all the legal lights would not have treated ali the lawyers to dinner. Will Come for His Boy. The morning mail was delivered as usual and one letter received by the court was from the father of a boy who had been arrested several days ago. His father lives at Tyrone, Pa., and said he would soon be here for his bos Several days ago the boy was found with two colored boys and the three of them were arrested as tramps. When they reached court the white boy teld an im- probable story, and Judge Kimball held the boy, as he thought it would do him no harm to separate him from his nomad com- paniors. I've been away from home just three weeks,” he said, but the court did not be- lieve his story, for his clothes had the ap- pearance of having been worn on the road a much longer time. After six months’ absence the boy will now be returned to his parents. A New Jersey Clergyman. There were not many prisoners in the dock, but there were several defendants on the outside, among them being the Rev. Martin L Rhodes, a Methodist preacher from Flanders, Morris county, N. J. Seated in court was the defendant's wife, a handsome and stylishly dressed young woman, it was stated that they were on their bridal trip. “Pm guilt: answered the New Jersey ime when arraigned on a charge of de- ing the Washington monument. “I did honghtlessly,” he added. He told me he wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been for his wife,” said Waiter Jones, the watchman. he wanted a p' of the monument, and he broke it off his umbrella.” As I said before,” said the defendant, “I did it thought! The piece of marble was loose and I broke it off with my un- ith of the pieces,” said the displaying a piece of marble, were othars.”” “The idea of people breaking the monu- ment in this way is more than I can under- sta remarked the court. “He said he did it because his wife want- ed it,” the officer interrupted, “and I thought I would arrest him.” The Judge's Remarks. “You did perfectly right,” the court told him. “I can’t understand the insane im- pulse people have to destroy monuments and statuary that are put up for all time. What good a little piece of marble will do anybody I can’t understand. Another in- ane impulse people have is to write their ny $ on monuments, as if people cared to w who John Smith or Jim Jones is.” He's a stranger in town and was just going through the city,” broke in Precinct tive Sutton, who was anxious to help the visitor out of his trouble. “That makes no difference,” “He should have known better. have to pay a fine of $10.” ‘Is that the best you can do?” asked the vine I might have made it more,’ the court told hin. The fine was paid, and the minister and his wife resumed their sight seeing. A Policeman's Pistol. It has been a long time since the court has been troubied because of the reckless discharge of firearms by a policeman, but this moraing Judge Kimball had ocyasion te make some pointed remarks tu Police- man C. C. Smith of Sguth Wasaington. ‘Ten days ago there was a crap game in progress in Wonder’s. court, near the de- molished car shed of the Me:rovolitan Street Railroad Company, when the officer appeared and caused a stampede. “I saw the game,” said the offi picked up $2.15 and the bones. The officer described the trouble he had with the crapshooters, and said they jump- ed on him and took his ciub awty. Cutler Dunmore, a young colored man, was on trial, and he made a Genial cf the charge. “L was in a house when the policeman had trouble with the boys,” he said, “and went out when I heard a pistol shot.” I saw the boys who were :n the game, said a colored girl who was a witness, ‘and I know Cutler wasn’t there.” “How do you know he wasn’t there Because | saw them, and I know Cutler was in a house. But I saw the policeman when he shot at one of them." Another colored girl gave evidence, but she stated that tke policeman fired in the nd the court He r, “and Harry Wallace appeared on the st and corroborated what the def2ndant said. ‘A policeman who discharges his pistol in this way ought to be brought up on charges,” said Judge Kimball to the of-, fi I had a tussie with them,” interrupted the officer. The Officer Lectured. “you had no business to discharge your‘ pistol,” the judge said. “The case was one of misdemeanor and not felony, and there was no life in danger. Both Judge Miller and myself have warned officers so much about this very thing. In this case there was no excuse for putting the iives of peo- in peril. By the time the judges of the Court warn policemen a few more times aboutthis shooting on the streets it will be stopped.” ‘The judge repeated that he -hought the officer should be brought up on_ charges ard dismissed the charge against Dunmore. James F_ Brown, arrested on complaint of his mother, because of his intemperate habits, was locked up all night and was in the tolls this morning. His mother did not appear and he was réleased. Harry Freeman and Willis Banks, col- ored, charged with disorderly conduct, ad- mitted their guilt and were fined $5 each. aes iG DRAMATIZED. SLUMMIN ic Portenyal of the Missionary Work of the Salvationists. Members of the Salvation Army rendered the comedietta “The Drunkard’s Home” jast night at Salvation Hall. The opening scene showed the sordid, poverty-stricken home of Pat. and Mary O’Flanigan, parts taken by Lieutenant McDonald and Cap- tain Hill, and all degrees and phases of domestic intoxication. The second scene showed Salvation missionaries singing and praying with the drunkard in the effort to save them, their exhortations finally suc- ceeding. The last scene was a Salvation Army meeting, with Pat O’Flanigan and his wife professing reiigion and expressing gratitude to the Salvationists for their rescue. During the performance Captain Blanche Cox took occasion to explain the application of the scenes to the every day work of the Salvation sisters in the army. ——— Gra: Special for Tomorrow.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Oondition of the Trestle Work on the Great Falls Railroad. Benevolent Society Affairs d Other Local Notes of General Inter- est to All Residents. The condition of-the trestles on the Great Falls electric railroad is receiving con- siderable attention from a good many reai- dents of this section of the city. Whether the recent heavy wind storm damaged the trestles or not is not known, but there is some change made. The cars in now pass- ing over most of the trestles are of suffi- cient weight to make the wood work groan and creak, as if under extra heavy strain. This, while it may not be dangerous, is rather hard on the nerves of the vassen- sers of the car, who would hardly survive the fall should the trestles give way and the car fall. This would especially be the case of the trestle work over Green Springs and the place known as College Pond. President Jacob P. Clark, when spoken to regarding the condition of the road by a Star reporter, stated that there was noth- ing the matter with the road. In this time of the year the trestles are bound to creak, he said. He was obliged to use the road every day. He said that the trestles were put up under the immediate super- vision of the engineer department, and were strong enough to hold any weight that :night be put on them. In addition to this, the railroad, to prevent any accidenis, had all of the trestles inspected every week and after every heavv storm, for fear of some damage being done. The trestles were examined after the heavy storm of Tuesday, and no damage was found to have been done. Benevolent Society. At a recent meeting of the Ladies’ Benev- olent Society considerable interest for the welfare of the poor of the West End was evinced and plans for the winter work mapped out. This society is one of the oldest charitable organizations in the Dis- trict, having a record of fifty-six years cf uninterrupted work. The society was or- ganized June 1840, Though its work- ings have been somewhat unknown to the public, it has accomplished a vast amount ef good. Though old in years, it is vigorous end strong in growth, both for the Aged Women's Home and the general poor and all in need. The organization has the good wishes and the financial help of all of the charity-loving people of Georgetown. Denth of Harry Gladmon. Harry M. Gladmon, a well-known resi- dent, died yesterday, a few days over thir- ty-four years of age. A resident of George- town all his life, he was largely acquainted. Recently ke kept the grocery store at the corner of 28th street and Olive avenue. it has only been a short time ago since his wife died, several children surviving her. The funeral will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2 o'clock from the residence of the mother ef the deceased, at 1210 28th street. Want It Improved. The crendition of 32d street from P street to 35th street has often been the subject, of comment by the residents and property owners on the thoroughfare. The street is paved the entire distance with cobblestones, and is perhaps the last thoroughfare in the A town paved with that old-style material. petition has been in circulation for som time past, which has now been signed almost all of the residents and property owrers, requesting the improvement of the thoroughfare. As soon as all of the signa- teres are on the petition the matter wil! be forwarded to Congress as the best means of obtaining the lorg-looked-for re! lief. Work Stopped. The work on the parsonage of the Ten- leytown E. Church, which was begun a few days ago, as noted in The Star, has been stopped. The cause of this is not given out. By some it is claimed that there was no title to the land upon which the parsonage 1s to be erected, the property be- ing given for the site of a church. It is gererally understood, however, that the work of the building was stopped at thi order of the presiding elder of the district conference, Rev. Luther B. Wilson, who, it is alleged, tekes the view that the con-’ gregaticn is not rich enough to support a married minister, who would most likely be calied upon to occupy the parochial res~ idence. Notes. Miss Rae Lippincott of Philadelphia and 3 Nellie Hirshberger of Morristown, Pa, e returued to their homes, after a plea: ant visit to the Misses Blackman of 204) 5th street. Miss Hirshberger will return in the early winter for a few weeks’ visi to her uncle, Dr. Lamb of Washington. Dr. A. B. Shekell of 32d street is confined to his residence with a slight attack of illness. The funeral of Mrs. Mollie Dodson was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from Trin- ity Catholic Church, and was largely at- tended. Clayton E. Emig and others have sold to T. Edward Dromgold lots 7 and 8, block 11 in Clark and others’ subdivision of Whit haven. The property was sold for $2,225, stbject to a trust of $400. Herry Johnson of 2¥21 Dumbarton ave- nue was taken sick yesterday at the cor- ner of 3ist and M Streets, and was re- moved to his home in the patrol wagon. James F. Brown, a white huckster, whose age is given ac forty-five, was arrested yes- terday by Policeman Hess upon complaint of Elzabeth Brown, who charges him with ng an habitual drunkard. Chines Thomas and Theodore Wilson, both cclored, and aged nineteen, were ar- rested about 3:30 o'clock this morning on @ charge of throwing missiles. Ee The Name of the White House. To the Ecitor of The Evening Star: Replying to a statement in The Star of October 3, as to the origin of the popular name for the Executive Mansion, I believe it is generally conceded that the house was dubbed White House in honor and memory of the house of that name in New Kent county, Virginia, where Gen. Washington met and won the “charming Widow Cus- tis.” Certainly L. C. Holloway, in her work on “The Ladies of the White House,” is of this opinion, for she says: “Washington de- voted much of his time to the planning and laying out of the city which bears his name. Passing along the Gcorgetown road, he halted in front of the place designated as the White House, so-calied in honor of the former home of his wife, and intended as a residence for the President. Workmen were then laying the foundation of ‘his building, afterward burnt.” Mr. John Cotton-Smith, member from Connecticut, who came to the city with the first Congress to sit in Washington, de- scribing his first view of the ‘wilderness city,” says: “One wing’of the Capitol only had’ been erected, which, with the Presi- dent's house, a mile distant from it, both constructed with white sandstone, were striking objects, in dismal contrast with the scene around them.” So # is proven that from the first the house was, in ap- pearance, white. After the British destroy- ed the Executive Mansion Madison rented the “‘octogan house,” belonging to Col. John Tayloe, and situated at the corner of sth and New York avenue. It was there the treaty of Ghent wassigned. From New York avenue Madison removed to the cor- ner of 19th and Pennsylvania avenue, and there, I think, finished his term, the White House not being sufficiently restored for habitat:on until Monroe's time. Therefore, if Madison alluded to the White House in giving an invitation to call, it must have been prior to the burning and subsequent “coat of white paint.” a Liquor Dealers. The annual meeting of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association was held yesterday and officers for the ensuing year were se- lected as follows: President, E. L. Jordan; vice president, Joseph L. Schlottz; financial secretary, E. Trieber; recording secretary, George Davidson; treasurer, William Mc- Guire; Messrs. Jordan, Davidson and Wil- liam Whelan were elected delegates to the national convention of liquor dealers, which meets at Cleveland, Ohio, Monday next, and continues for four days. ee Number 1 Cypress Shingles, every one guaranteel perfect, at $3.25 for 1,000; 4x20.

Enthusiastic Gathering Last. Night.’ On the occasion of the opening of the scholastic year of the law department of Georgetown University last evening, about six hundred students, alumni and. friends of the university gatherel in the main lecture hall of the law building, on E street northwest. The faculty, headed by J. Havehs Richards, & J., president of. the university,’ came imte: the: hall at: 6:43 o'clock, and took seats ,on the platform. On their entrance the audience rose en masse, and for the space of five minutes cheers for Georgetown and. for each. indi- vidual member of the faculty were given with great enthusiasm. When the cheering had. substded Father Richards, ‘inva short address, welcomed the students of former | years, who showed thelz loyalty to George- town by being there, and the students just entering. He assured them that much de- pended on their individual efforts in secur- ing a legal education, and pledged the ut- most assistance and devotion on tne part of himself and of the faculty to assist them in every possible way in their efforts. He then introduced Judge Louis : McComas of the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbla as-the orator of the evening. ‘Judge McComas said, among. other things, that he-woutd spare the assemblage an oratton;‘ that he had. only. Tuesday returned to the city from a vacation, and was not aware that he was expected to appear before them until then, and he thought that it was their gain that he had not been noti- fied earlier. He spoke also of his recent visit to Lincoln and Gray’s Inns and to the Inner Temple, in London, where Bacon, Blackstone and otker men great in the legal profession had gained their knowledge, and said it was an inspiration to him to have been there. He congratulated the students on being members of one of the oldest universities in the new world and one of the best; also that they were mem- bers of the law department of that untver- sity which numbered among Its faculty members of the Supreme Court of : the United States end of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, and some of the keenest, ablest, greatest and most bril- liant lawyers of the District bar. After Judge McComas’ address announce- ments were made by each of the professors as to the lectures to be given by them. Justice Morris said he would meet the post-graduate class in constitutional law. He hoped the present political strife would leave enough of that venerated document, the Constitution, to be useful-and instruc- tive to them. Prof. M. J.

An unusual sight met the ey2s of pe- destrians on F street this morning when the thoroughfare, on the north side, be- tween 12th and 13th streets, was carefully and thoroughly swept and cleaned by pri- vate parties. Inquiry brought to light the fact that the street had not been swept since two days before the severe storm of last week, in spite of complaints made to the District Commissioners. Finally, be- coming indignant at the condition of things, the business men and property owners from 12th to 13th streets, without excep- tion, determined to take matters into their own hands and sweep the street. The nec- essary money was subscribed without de- lay and the thoroughfare now looks spic and span. think it is a shame,” said Mr. Kimon Nicolaides, one of the business men of the bleck, in conversation with a Star repor- ter, “that matters should be permitted to reach such a state in a city of the size of Washington. I will admit that the street sweeping department had some excuse for not looking after those streets that were blockaded with trees and branches as a result of the storm. I suppose it was the duty of the parking commission to look after the trees, but on F street there was tot a tree down, and absclutely no ob- struction to interfere with the street sweep- ers. A personai appeal was made to the Commissioners to rectify the evil, but no good resulted therefrom. {[ visited every business man and every person residing along F street between 12th and 13th streets, and they agreed with me that we must adopt active measures. Therefore we employed men to do the work, and the fact that it was necessary for us to do so, I think, is a serious reflection on the au- thorities. However, it 1s our intention to see that our section of the thoroughfare is kept clean, even if we must bear the cost of the sweeping. ——— GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY LECTURES.

HOW AND WHEN The Anti-Saloon Revival Considers Ways and Means, The Methods by Which the Saloon Can Be Abolished and the Drink TraMc Stopped. A large and enthusiastic eudience was Present at the fourth of the meeiitgs of Smith, the second vice president of the District Anti-Saloon League, will introduce Rev. Hugh K. Walker of Baltimore as the principal speaker of the evening. Dr. Walker will speak upon the subject, “The Place of the Nation's Capital in the Na- tional Crusade.” Mr. Thrasher thrilled and delighted the audience by his graphic descriptions of the saloon evil and of the means of suc- cessfully fighting it. He characterized the saloon as the greatest enemy of God and humanity, as the foe of the school and of the home, and gave incidents from his own experience in proof of his charges. He recommended the federation of all forces posed to the saloon as practiced by the Anti-Saloon League of this District as the only correct answer to the question “How?” and in answer to the question “When?” said that the saloon would “go” the Anti-Saloon Revival, held last evening | when the people of the District became at Foundry Church. A number of seats | SUfficiently awake to its evils. reserved in the front were occupied by a number of the Order of Good Templars, who were present in uniform. Promptly at 7:30, under the direction of Percy S. Foster, the choir began the song service. After prayer, Grand Chief Templar Albert E. Shoemaker was introduced as the presiding | First, officer of the first part of the service. Mr. Shoemaker made a few remarks prefatory to the addresses to follow, regarding what the Order of Good Templars stood for. He stated that it was strictly a temperance organization, an active member of the Anti-Saloon League, and each member of | and others testi the order was pledged to use all proper means to abolish the liquor traffic in any shape or form. After reading the pledge subscribed to by eacn templar on joining the order Mr. Shoemaker introduced Miss Nellie Brown, who gave a recitation, en- titled, “Drink Did it,” which held the close attention of the audience througout. Mr. S. W. Russeil, grand superintendent of Juvenile Templars, made a short address explaining the object of the juvenile or- der to be the education of children for more usefulness in the future. “An ounce of prevention is wor:h a pound of cure,” quoted Mr. Russell, “and so we believe in beginning at the bottom and bringing up the children in a manner to fit them for greater usefulness in the future.” Mr. A. ‘T. Maupin, grand counselor of the order, made a short address, speaking more par- ticularly of the seeming apathy which e isted among Christian and temperance peo ple regarding tne great question at issue, the abolition of the saloon. President Whitman of Columbian Univer- sity was then introduced as che perma- nent presiding ofiicer of the evening. The oifering of the evening was then received, and the usual announcements made by Chairman Suter of the committee of ar- rangerents. Dr. Whitman introduced as the principal speaker of the evening Mr. 8. P. Thrasher, the secretary and general ger of the Law and Order League of who made an address on the loon Must Go! When? How? Mr. Turasher forcibly declared the salcon to be the greatest enemy of good ty, and the throughout the enemy of destroyer of countless homes the country. “The saloon labor,” said Mr. Thresher, “and this dec ration is made in full know!l¢ many evils being portrayed i nt political battle.” Mr. Thrasher read sev- eral communications as samp) ft large number of their kind constantly ing received by him from suffering women, asking for help and protection from homes wrecked by drink. The speaker was in favor of taking ad- vantage of and making the most of the present laws regarding the liquor traffic. He pointed out several ways in which the traffic could be minimized in the District of Columbia if only all organizations would unite under one s' lard and strive for the proper enforcement of what laws are now in existence. He cited from his own experience the effect of organized citizen- ship against the saloon, and urged the union of forces in the District of Columbia as the only means of accomplishing the end in view. The meeting closed with singing and the benediction. This evening the first part of the servic will be in charge of the Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society. Mrs. C!

In an inquiry by a marshal’s jury yeseter- day into the mental condition of James the usual monotony of such proceed- ings was interrupted by the unfortunate man going on the witness’ stand and in- sisting that he is not insane, but that his actions are controlled by spirits or powers which he cannot control. Drs. J. Wesley Boyce and T. B. McDonald ed that they had examined the man, and they had reached the con- clusion that he is mentally deranged and liable to become dangerously violent. The jury found the man to be deranged, although one of their members, Mr. R. A. Dimmick, refused to agree with the verdict. He declined to sign it, on the ground, it is said, that he (Dimmick) believed First's stery that he is not insane, but is conirolled by some unknown power.
