The charge of vagrancy preferred against Madge by Policeman Mellen was nolle prossed. This action it is expected and hoped will bring the career of the girl in the District of Co- lumbfa to an end. Had not signs of dissipation begun to ap- pear, Madge Fisher would today be an ur- brutally fracturing her arm, while placing Mary McGinn, was adjudged gullty of in- corrigibility and sentenced to the reform school until she should reach the age of twenty-or ars. No vacancy existed in the girls’ reform school, and Madge was held in jail until today. When the matter was cailed to the at- tention of the court this afternoon, Judge Miller remarked that he was in doubt 2s to whether or not the girl could be prop- erly charged in this city with incorrigibil- ity, when it was taken into constderation that her parents reside in New York. The incorrigible acts. he thought, must occur where the parents are present to have con- trol of the child. “{ held the girl,” said Judge Miller, “ve- cause I thought the facts justified such ac- tion and Because I considered it best for the girl, her mother stating under oath that the only salvation for her daughter rested in her being placed under the con- trol of the law. ‘The reform school for girls in this city is the result of long efforts on the part of philanthropic people. Unfortunately, though, some of the to the institution are with vice and villany, yond reformation. The school is not sufti- ciently large and no facilities exist for separating the inmates. I think it much better to devote the school to younger girls who have some chance of reforma- tion than to fill it up with those practi- cally past that stage.

The latter course will cer- tainly make her a vagrant. I do not want to do that.” Turning to Madge, who was in the w ness stand, © Miller asked: “What will you de for a living if you are permitied to zo to New York? Go home to my mother,” promptly. “You have had experience in the so- called pleasures and the evils of this sort of life,” said Judge Miller. ‘Those houses are all unlawful. You found refuge in one. You have been knocked around from post to pillar. You are a vagrant under the law, and if you went to the work house what would you be after your release? If committed to the reform school your very presence would be contaminating.

Funeral Services Over the Late Dr. J. Hendrickson McCarty. The funeral of J. Hendrickson McCarty, M.D., D.D., took place from the Metropal!- tan Episcopal Churen this afternoon, in- terment being at Glenwood cemetery. Rev. Hugh Johnston, pastor of theechurch, de- livered the sermon. rus Bussey made remarks in regar] to the work of Dr. McCarty as a niinister of the Gospel in the south during the perivd of reconstruc- tion after the war. Cornel Barlew, the chorister of the Sunday schoo! of the church, led in the songs during the cere- mony. Dr. McCarty had been a mem of the quarterly confecence of that church the past four years, and while the regular pastor as been absent from als charge Dr. McCarty was dep2nded upon to occupy the pulpit. He was much beloved by the whole congregation. The pallbearers : ere selecied from the ofticial insmbers of the church. The em- ployes at the government weather bureau attended in large numbers, as the deceased was the librarian of the bureau. The pul- pit was Icaded with flowers contributed by these friends. —__> Bothered by Cranks. Mcst positions have their trials as well as their pleasures, and that of pastor of the President's church is no exception to the rule. The pastor of Metropolitan Church, Rev. Hugh Johnston, D.D., is re- ceiving scores of letters from all over the country on all sorts of questions connected indirectly and directly with the President. Orly a few days ago he received a letter from a person evidently from this city, who signed his last name as “Welles,” in which he protested against there being a special sacramental service for the Pre: dent when he attends church next Sunda ‘The writer was evidently a man of educa tion and intelligence, but he is laboring under a misapprehension of facts which speak for themselves, namely, that the President is expected to observe his first communion in Washington as President next Sunday at Metropolitan Church, and that Rev. Bishop John F. Hurst ts to ad- minister it to the congregation and not to any one in particular. Dr. Johnston has re- plied in a letter to the point which wound up by advising the writer to change his paper. Numerous other epistles are being received on kindred subjects connected with the President and the Metropolitan, but the most of them from other states ask Dr. Johnston to use his good offices to secure them some job or other. Where these latter show that they are from de- serving persons Dr. Johnston will answer them with a circular letter pointing out the fact that from the very nature of his pcsition he, of all people, is precluded from asking favors of the President. If he dia not pursue this course it would take the to the correspondence. As it Is the work of opening and glancing over the letters is taking much of his time that is needed for other things. ——— Officers Elected, Fob000004eeeseose. ed: President, Mr. C. W.

The Argentine minister has protested against the proposed duty on hides and other raw materials coming from his country in great quantities to the United States. It is pointed out by him that when the United States in the Wilson act placed wool on the free list and placed no duty on hides, the govern- ment of Argentine voluntarily, in recog- nition cf the friendly spirit shown by the United States, responded by placing lum- ber, of which great stores were exported to Buenos Ayres, on their free list, and by reducing duties on other important imports from the United States. a a National Academy.
