THE TERRORS OF THE HOLDUP A Pancake Party's Fun at Narra- gansett. SOME OTHER- TOPICS ——————— Mr. and Mrs. John W Thompson are now in Seattle, where they will remain several weeks, ard where their friends have arranged a continuous round of en- tgrtainmenf for them. They had a very delightful journey through the Yellow- stone, being so fortunate as to entirely escape the “hold-up,” the latest sensation provided for tcurists there. Mr. and Mrs. ‘Thompson have in contemplation a leis- urely trip threugh California, before they make any plans for a more protracted absence from home. The tales told of the experiences of re- cent tourists through the Yellowstone, who were part of the time the recipients of very devoted attention from road agents, would be ludicrous were they not the re- citals of moments of extreme anxiety and terror. A lady in a party, which was fol- lowing a string of seven coaches, witness- ed the unysual spectacle to eastern eyes of the “hold-up.” The occupants of the seven coaches were asked to step out, give up to the tune of “money or your life.” All parted easily with the former, the ag- gregated value to the gentlemen of the toad, being about seven hundred dollars. The lady in question knew she could not escape, and with a woman's wit slipped her diamond rings in her mouth. Her terror overcame her, however, and when the men came toward her she screamed, “Oh, Mr. Robber, I have no jeweiry, when her sobbing words simply whistled through the rings. As no one is allowed to carry firearms through the park for fear of disturbing the game, the men who were forced to give up their valuables knew they could not help themselves, and might as well submit with grace. The personal satisfaction they will feel if the fellows are ever caught can hardly be expressed. Another Washington party who have just completed a tour of the park, with- cut unpleasant incidents, either, were Mr. and Mrs. Seaton Perry, Mrs. L. B. Webb, Mr. and Mrs. Beall Howard and Dr. and Mrs. Wythe Cook. Ex-Secretary and Mrs. Daniel S. Lamont have had a charming summer at Sorrento, where the colony of Washingtonians is large enough to be very companionable. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris are greatly pleased with the place as a summer home. With Bar Harbor so convenient, an occa- sional participation in its gayeties gives the touch with the world of pleasure which the younger members of the family desire. The Lamonts will stay there until late next month, and when they return to New York will take up housekeeping again. Mrs. La- mont will come to this city for a short stay in October. Col. Lamont, when he takes hold this autumn of his new duties assistant president ef the Northern will be obliged to be in St. Paul a large part of his time.

Bourne, rector of Grace Protestant Episcopal Church, West Wash- irgton, has tendered his resignation of that pesition to the vestry of the church and the same has been accepted by them, to take effect the Ist of October. Until tfen Mr. Bourne will continue in charge of the parish, and in the meantime the vestrymen have put themselves in communicaticn with the bishop of Washington, Dr. Satterlee, so that it is expected that a successor will be found speedily In fact, since the resigna- tion of the rector several applications have been received for the position, so much sought after are Washington charges, and the congregation will have a choice from among a number of available clergymen. Grace Church is not as well known to the Washington Episcopalians as some other of their churches, principally on account of its location, at 32d street, below Pennsyl- venia avenue, and consequently the resig- nation of the rector comes as a surprise. While the members of the parish decline to make their internal affairs known to the public, still it is thought that Rev. Mr. Bourne leaves the parisn partly on account ot its financial condition and partly on ac- count of his health. “The parish was formerly in charge of Christ Church, West Washington, but is now supported by its members with help from the board of missions of the Episcopal Church. it was founded in 1866 by Gover- nor Cooke, and for many years was looked From who immediately preceded Rev. Bourne, died in its mi a ir. Bourne -took the 7 CUBAN FLAG WIL FLY. ‘The Excersion to Marshal Hall Next Taesday Promises Saccess, The Cuban flag will fly from the mast- head of the steamer Macalester on her three trips next Tuesday, and float over the lawns of Marshall Hall all day. The three excursions will be for the bene- fit of the Cuban hospital fund. under the jcint auspices of the National Cuban League, of which General Wm. Henry Browne {3 president, and the Woman's Na- tional Cuban League, of which Mrs. Clara Bell Brown is director general. They will receipt to the Marshall Hall Steamboat Company on August 31 for one-half the entire day's receipts. The various committees are as follows: Press, which includes well-known news- paper men; committee on tickets, compris- ing the entire force of the Woman's Na- tional League, headed by Mra. Brown a! Mrs. Lincoln, the two chief officers. The licket committee from the men’s league is Mr. Frank Hume, Dr. Vowles, Colonel Clayton, Mr. J. A. Wynkoop and Mr. J. & Bonnet. In addition to these a reception com- mittee of twenty-five prominent citizens will be appointed. Speeches will be made at Marshall Hall by ex-Senator Butler, 8. 3. Yoder, C. B. Turner and Dr. Foster R. Winn of the Cuban army, who will tell the story of Senorita Evangeline Cisneros, a3 he knows it from her personal acquaint- ance. Invitations have been sent to E. B. Hay, Hub T. Smith and others. Tickets have been placed at all prominent stores along the line of F street and the avenue. The officers of the two leagues will form a part of the reception committee. A good time is assured. The large advance sale of tickets speaks well for the industry of the two leagues. ——— INTEREST “JOHNNY” PRICE, Local Detectives May Be Represented at His Final Hearing. Local detectives are very much interested in the outcome of the hearing of the case of “Johnny” Price, the alleged professional crook, who ts charged with the theft of a satchel containing nearly $1,700 of the funds of the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany. The satchel, as published in The Star at the time, was taken from the Va- toldi dining room on the last day of March, while Superintendent Badendrier, in whose custody the money had been, was eating lurch. Price was arrested in New York, and United States Commissioner Shields con- tinued the case until Saturday of next week, after he had heard the evidence then submitted. All the testimony is in, so that no witnesses from here will have to go to New York next week. Because of the im- pertance of the case, however, it is Hkely that a local detective or a representative of the district attorney's office will go to New York and be present when the case is finally disposed of by the commissioner. ee Rules for Reform School. A new set of rules for the government of the girls’ reform schoo! has been promul- gated and submitted to the Commissioners fer adoption. They are practically the same as heretofore. Provision is made for corporal punishment, when necessary, to be administered as a kind, intelligent, and jvdicious parent- would. < —_—__— Danger at a Grade Crossing. Chairman Helstein of the committee on lights, sewers and water of the Northeast Citizens’ Association has written a letter to the Commissioners calling attention to the dangerous railroad crossings on Flor- ida avenue northeast, which, he says, are left unprotected between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. every day. He urges the establishment of more lights cn H_ street and additional school facilities in Rosedale. ais Condition Not S: Complaint has been registered with the health cfficer by Maj. Humphrey, the de- pot quartermaster of the army here, of the condition of certain bodies of soldiers sent to Arlington for burial, and declining to receive them hereafter unless in a san- itary condition. He calls attention to two cases in justification for this action. T! health officer has promised to better the conditions, and has notified the under- takers to be mcre careful in the future. —_—_— “Use Penna. R.
