SOSSOSOS EO: 'F. 8. WILLIAMS & CO. Richard Goodall’s Reputation and the Circumstances Against Him. There was a game of crap in progress in Naylor’s alley yesterday afternoon when Policemen Trumbo-and McDonald reached there. The players stampeded when the officers appeared, ar@-ore of them, Rich- ard GoodaH, took the “bones” with him, but did not stop t6 pick up the money. James Wrignt, who also figured in the game, and Goodall, were apprehended and locked up. This morning, when the case was heard in the Police Court, the officers gave Goodall so bad a name that the pen- alty imposed on him was much more than the amount assessed against Wright. “He's the leader of a gang of crap shoot- ers,” was what one of the patrolmen said, “and I believe he has been here fully twenty times for shooting crap.” “Here are the bones,” he added; “and they are loaded in such a manner that the Players caunot win.” - “Goodall is the worst one in that part of the city,” said the other officer. “Deed, judge, I wasn’t in the game yes- terday,” said Goodall. “I did have the ‘bones’ in my pocket, but I have them most all the time.” “Twenty dollars or ajxty days on the farm,” said Judge Scott. Wright was fined half this amount. ————— FROM NATURAL CAUSES. ciation on Sal: of Poiso the Pharmaceutical Association of —35e. for full pint bottle. ‘The tollet necessities that you'll take on your summer outing wili cost_con- siderably LESS than you'd think, if you do all your buying HERE. ‘Our prices are always the VERY LOWEST— for all that, we handle only the best. “IANDOLL revents sunburn. .....

Detective Weedon, who investigated the case of Fa~-is Chappell, the little girl feund in 35 able a condition on her fether’s premises, .=a:sday night, as pub- lished in yesterday’s Star, decides,that the child had not been assaulted, but that she had fallen when she attempted to climb the fence. In addition to the shock she would have received by such a fall, it is stated, the child was also sick, and the combination resulted in throwing her into convulsions. Dr. Burton, her attending physician, who yesterday thought differently, has now con- cluded that nv assault was committed. Her trouble, he thinks, was due to natural causes, and perhaps excitement attending her return home through the rear prem- ises and over the fence. If there was really a young man in the alley at the time, as was stated by neighbors yester- day, it is thought he was simply there for the purpose of helping Fannie over the fence; but even this is denied.

Where Washingtonians Are Enjoying the Summer Picasurce—interest- img Personals—Notes. ‘The activity sure to come with the last month of the summer has reached both Newport and Bar Harbor, and both are as gay in their own way as a Washington win- ter. The yacht 1aces in that harbor have given a particularly aquatic tone to its everyday pleasuring, and dinners and lawn parties* without number have been fitting accompaniments to the diyersions on land. The ball season, if it starts at ail, will likely’ be a short and merry one, for so far memories of the grand doings of the past year have been rather the thing, rather than any extraordinary preparations for the present. Debutantes and debut balls are puheard of, so far, and titled folks from across the water have seemingly given this stmmer city the go-by-in their travels. Mrs. Brice’s garden party for the Vice President and Mrs. Hobart was graced by an over abundance of men, a fact which would give nobody in Washington any un- easiness, but it appears the part of the gal- lant brigade deserving criticism were those who attended in bicycle togs, a rather free and easy interpretation to an invitation of so much social importance. The Hobarts had a busy time of it while they were at Newport, but are probably enjoying tha mere placid features of the life at Lake Champlain. ‘The spectacle presented by the President, V:ce President and @ large part of the cab- iret taking their summer vacation under the same hotel roof is one which augurs well for their agreement on other matters, especially domestic and social affairs, which go so far toward personal comfort in their acsociation with each other. Or- dinarily there is precious little unanimity of opinion in these matters between pres- idential and vice presidential households, and the latter have been obliged to take ccrsiderable trouble to keep themselves to the front, and their plans or the absence, of them had very little effect on what the rest of the official clan had on hand. Now al! this has changed, and if it continues will make considerable difference in the winter’s social program. There seems to be more famillar names in the liste of those entertaining and being ertertained at Bar Harbor than at Newport. Things are not carried out in quite such a sumptuous style. but nevertheless small fortunes are expended in the name of hos- pitality, and the results are accompanied by a certain picturesqueness which is very attractive and satisfactory. The Barneys, O’Donrells, McMillans, Montgomerys are all participating in the general activity, while at Sorrento Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris and Mrs. Fuller give their friends mary pleasant occasions.

Four youthful train jumpers were in the toils at the Police Court this morning on charges, and Judge Scott heard the case. They were arrested last night by Special Officer Marstail, who found them on a train going east. At the police station they registered as John Bryan, Robert Conner, Luther Hagris and John Scott. “Why were you boys on this train?” the judge inquired. “I was going to Philadelphia,” said one here is your home?” ‘Ashiand.” He said he was just taking a trip about the country and he hai an idea that he might get work in Philadelphia. “This practice of jumping on trains is a dangerous one,” remarked Judge Scott, “and it is also unlawful. 1 am going to do my best to stop it.” The boys were fined $10 or thirty days each. — a The Speed of the Dupont. According to a report received at the Navy Department, the torpedo boat Du- pont went at the rate of 27.99 knots per hour for a brief pericd on her tial trip yesterday. That was on the second run over the course, bui on the third run (there were to have been five under the terms of the trial) the condensers failed, and the speed dropped down so rapidly that the trial was abandoned. — ———s MARRIED.
