A Brave Bootblack Saves a Child From Probable Death—Other Items of Interest. Within the past two or three weeks sev- eral hundred mail boxes have been placed upon ‘the residences in this section of the city. The boxes are not the kind adopted by the Post Office Department, where the carrier is required to deposit and collect the mail on every trip, and where a little sign, working automatically, announces if any mail is in the box, without requiring the letter carrier to open the same to as- certain. Instead the boxes are plain cast iron affairs, and it is understood they have been placed all over the city. The people purchase them in good faith, and partially believe that they are compelled to have them on their doors, or else suffer the con- sequence. ‘The box in question, which ts flat shaped, with only three sides, is fastened on the jam of the door, which when closed completes the fourth side. The only way to see what is in the box is to open the door. A small slot is provided for the placing of the letters in the box by the carrier, while the lettering on the box states that it is United States mail. The agent of the concern who has been placing the box on the market, who thoroughly worked the town, claims to have sold over 300 boxes. It is not exactly sold, but an agreement is mutually understood that the box is to remain in the possession of the company, while the householder pays in advance 25 cents, which is equiv- alent to five years’ rental of the mail boxes. The boxes themselves do not cost over 5 cents to make them. The household- er is not permitted to remove them when moving from the house, but upon notifying the company a man will be sent by them to do the work. The boxes are fastened to the door jam by only four screws and can easily be removed. The agent of the company who visited this section of the city took in most all of the unpretentious residences, and exhibited the circular of the Post Office Department requiring all houses to have boxes placed for the reception and collection of the mail. This had the effect of frightening a good many people, who made no objection when the price was announced at twenty-five cents for five years’ rental. Had the price beeen steeper there would have been some objection, but the moderate Imit for the cheap box influenced many people to sub- scribe rather than raise any objection. It | is impossible for the carrier to collect any mail from this style of box, though it is an easy enough matter to place the letters in the box when delivering mail. Not long ago the company had a wagon in George- town loaded with these boxes, which were being put up in various houses that had subscribed to the use of the same. - For the Home for Incurables. The annual tea party and dance for the benefit of the Home for Incurables will be held this year tomorrow afternoon at Rau- scher'’s Hall, corner of- Connecticut avenue and L street. The event promises to be more of a social success than ever before, the affair being given to raise funds to carry the worthy charity through the warm summer months. The party will open at 3 o'clock in the afternoon for chil- dren, end at 5 o'clock the youngsters will be permitted to dance. At 8:30 o'clock there will be fancy dancing by a number of coming promising social lights, who have been trained for the same by Mrs. Norris of Baltimore. Mrs. Gen. Phil Sheridan and Mrs. John F. Rodgers will have charge of the fancy table, assisted by a host of young Jadies. Miss Helen Long, the daughter of Secretary Long; Miss Lovering, daughter of Representative Lovering, and Miss Sim- kins will have charge of the flower tables, the floral beauties all being donated. Miss Myer will have charge of the candy table; Mrs. McGuire in charge of the tea table, with a number of fair assistants; and Mrs. George Westinghouse, at the head of the perfumery and toilet table. Mrs. Ham- mond and Mrs. George Lothrop Bradley will have charge of the cake table, contri- butions for this table being solicited. One Georgetown lady, prominent in society, whose name is withheld, has donated twenty-five handsomely dressed dolls for the affair. AB e Bootblack. A daring rescue occurred yesterday morn- ing in front of the office of the First Co- operative Building Association, on 32d street. There was a band on one side of the street, and the little child of Mr. I. J. Beck- er, a tailor cf 1323 32d street, started to run across the street to see it. Just as the child started to run, a car of the Tenley- town line came down the street. The child reached the middle of the street without seeing the car, and those who Witnessed the incident expected to see the tot ground to pieces under the wheels. Sandy Alexander, a colored bootblack, seeing the predica- ment, dashed across the street in front of the moving car, at which the motormai: was struggling to put the brakes down hard, grasped the child in his arms and escaped beir.g struck by the car by only a hair's breadth. General News. There is a good prospect of a large party cf Georgetown people taking a trip through California this summer. Among those who contemplate going are Mrs. E. J. Young, Miss Emma Godie, Mr. and Mrs. George Birch and son and Mr. and Mrs. George W. King. The party will leave the city scme ume in July and be gone for several weeks. The funeral of Miss Fannie A. Perley, who died yesterday at the Homeopathic Hospiial, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence of Mr. H. A. Charles, at Glen Echo. The inter- ment will be at Beechmont cemetery @nd wiil be private. The annual competitive drill of the boys’ brigade of the Peck Memortal Chapel, as- sisted by the Georgetown Instrumental Club, Mr. Vinton Birch, leader, and other excellent artists, will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at the chapel, corner of 28th and M streets. Divorce Alimeny Prayed. Florence Dobbins, in petitioning for di- vorce from Robert M. Dobbins, states that they were married here August 20, 1892, and charges him with deserting her the following December. She’ asks for permis- sion to resume her maiden name of Lefevre and for alimony at the rate of $75 a month. = “Want” ads. in The Star pay becat they bring answers. og THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at bars, or lines of cqual air pressure, drawn for each’ Bet Gi WEATHER MAB! 4 swe Sea Tht --¥ mail Wu Hh 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

Peyton H: Railroad Train—General News 1, a Farmer, Killed by a of a Thriving Community. The Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 30, 1897. Mr. John H. Greene, attorney for Richard Burnett, who is in the jail at Fairfax Court House charged with arson, in burning the barn of Mr. Constant Ponnett in West End several nights ago, a full account of which appeared in The Star, went to Fair- fax Court House yesterday for the pur- pose of having Burnett admitted to bail. George Chichester and the negro Jamieson are also locked up at Fairfax on the same charge, but they are as yet without coun- sel. Mr. Greene appeared before Judge Lips- combe at the conclusion of the Lewis trial and made his request, but the judge told Mr. Greene that it was not his custom to let prisoners out on bail before hearing the evidence; that the commonwealth’s attor- ney had been so busily engaged with the Lewis case for the past several days and had not had time to look into the case, so he felt compelled to deny the request. Mr. Greene, it is said, will endeavor to take some action before the court of appeals. This arson case will not come up in the county court until a successor to Judge Chichester is appointed. When the case was spoken of at Fairfax Court House and Commonwealth's Attor- ney Love was seeking information he went to Sergeant James T. Smith of the Alex- andria police force, who made the arrest. Sergeant Smith told Mr. Love as well as he remembered the circumstances, “but,” said Sergeant Smith, “you had better get a copy of tcday’s (Wednesday's) Star; it has a complete and correct account of the affair." Commonwealth's Attorney Love at once procured a copy of The Stay, and it will be used as a basis for his working up the case. Police Court Proceedings. In the police court this morning the fol- lowing cases were disposed of: Blanch Washington, charged with disorderly con- duct, case continued; John Gagus, charged with indecent conduct, fined $10 or twenty days in jail; Ruth Jones, charged with dis- orderly conduct, dismissed. Struck by a Train and Killed. Peyton Hall, a well-known farmer, who resided near Franconia station, on the Washington Southern railroad, about five miles southwest of this city, was instantly killed by being struck by a train Wednes- day night. Mr. Hall had been in this city all day and was on his way home. He stopped his team to get a drink of water from a spring on the wayside. He had hardly gotten out of his wagon before his horses became scared and ran off, leaving him. He started to walk home, and it {s sup- posed that he fell asleep on the track. His remains were picked up horribly mangled. Injured in a Runaway. The horse attached to the corporation cart, with George Rogers driving, ran away on Prince street this morning, turn- ed into Reyal and overturned the cart in front of the electric railway office, throw- ing Rogers off against a tree and bruising him up pretty badly. Parker Discharged. Arthur Parker, who was charged with avenging the murder of his sister by kill- ing her paramour in Alexandria county sev- eral weeks ago, has been discharged by Justice Hall, before whom he was given @ second hearing.

It Will Re Full of Varied and Inter- esting Reading Matter. The ladies of Washington will be particu- larly interested in Saturday's Star because it will contain the first of a series of illus- trated fashion letters by the recognized European dictators of styles, such as Felix, Drecoll and Werth. These court modelers have always carefully guarded their designs until their openings—May 8 for the spring and September 8 for the autumn—and as the American season opens before the European, previous years’ styles have as a rule prevailed. These modelers create thelr designs several months in advance of the season, and arrangements have been made by which The Star will be enabled to pub- lish each week a signed letter from one of them, with suitable illustrations. Tomor- row’s special letter will be on Gowns and Fabrics, by Jules Bistgr, the famous mod- eler of Berlin. The following are some of the other fea- tures to appear in tomorrow’s Star: THE MOVING FEVER (illustrated). It is raging in Washington at present, and many people are affected.
