A Tiny Walif Appears as Defendant in Police Court. The youngest defendant that ever figured in a Police Court proceeding in the Dis- trict of Columbia was arraigned today by the clerk. The tiniest bit of humanity im- aginable was carried to the front when Marjorie Moore was called, and Marjorie did “not seem to care what disposition might be made of her case. “Marjorie Moore,” read the clerk, “it is charged that you, being a child under six- teen years of age, to wit, three months, ure destitute of a suitable home and ade- quate means of earning ‘an honest.living.” Frances Day, who had Marjorie in charge, explained that several weeks azo an unknown woman left the child with her, promising to pay $1 a week for its board and keep. The woman had failed to reap- pear, and the supposition was that the mother had abandoned the baby. ‘Without further ado, Judge Kimball com- mitted Marjorie to the care of the board of children’s guardians. 2 Alaska Gold Dust is hard to get.

The trip of the Mercer-Swaim combina- tion through western Pennsylvania and Indiana has been given up on account of guarantees not being assured by the ciubs with whom it was expected to play. The Baltimores practiced ail morning and will go after the four games hington as though the players’ lives depended upon them. The Senators took things easy yesterday, visiting friends and the theaters. They are ail in good shape and promise a hard contest. The third game of the Steinart cup series between the Toronto and Syracuse yester- day was played in Toronto and went to the heme club by the score of 14 to 12, making three straight wins for the Canucks, Two thousand spectators witnessed the gainw Willis, lately drafted by the Boston club, Pitehed for Syracuse, and was an easy mark, twenty hits being made by the ronto boys. Gaston and Casey were Man- ager Irwin's battery. One more victory for Tcronto and the series will be over. The Bostons stopped in Newark yester- day on their way to Brooklyn and defeated the Newark club by 10 to 3. Mills, a new man, pitched for Boston, and allowed bet five safe hits to be made off of his de- livery. Carrick and Coogaa pitched for Newark, and both were hit hard. The Baltimore club expzcts to leave home Saturday night for Boston for the opening game Monday in Boston in the Temple cup series. Corbett's thumb did not show much injury yesterday, and he will certainly pitch in one of the Washington games. The extra game with the Senators will be play- ed Friday, an open date.

Both Brooklyn and Washington are fighting for a place in the first division, remarks the Philadelphia In. quirer.

If Baltimore should win three and lose one in the series with Washington its percentage would be 2100, and the Orioles would be the cham. picns for the fourth successive time.

In th; - ning, says the Pittsburg Post, ‘Thornton Was the first man up, and he was sent to base on balls. Donahue hoop-snaked the ball into right field for a single, sending Thornten to third. Ryan dumped the ball for a sacrifice, going out at first, but ad- vancing each runner a_ base. Callahan tried his best to land on the ball, but struck: out.

I never studied harder nor racked my brain to teit what was the best thing to do nor watched every move more closely than on Méhddy. -¥ felt after Fri- day’s game that We were in great danger of losing, because our pitchers were not in form, with the single exception of Hoffer. “I knew that the pitcher whom the Bos- ton club particuMitly Yeared was Corbett. I knew that if Corbett got to pitching any kind of good balli'we could win the game. He wanted te go in, and I thought, ‘If only he shows form we are safe.’ From the very first balj,he;felivered I knew he would not do, betatse he was pitching in wretched form. I,wgg.just on the verge of taking him out when his hand was hurt. “Nops had pit a fine game against the Bostons in ton, and while he has rot been showing his best farm lately, 1 thought him our next best chance. He had not gotten half through the inning before I saw clearly he would not do. He was not pitching in form at all, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before the Bostons would begin to hammer him. Besides that, he wos not well®and showed lack of nerve and confidence. He,was not exhibiting the least signs of being a win- ner. I could see his finish plainly. “It was not because the visitors made three runs on Nops that I took him out, for I know that Stenzel’s weak muff gave them two of them, nor that two hits had been made on him. But it was because Nops was not pitching bail, and I knew it, that I took him out. “Then came the queston of who should be put in. I have heard people blame me today for not putting Amole in at that time. They blamed me in New York for putting Amole in instead of Hoffer. Amvle was hit hard in New York and was not effective. I knew it was an uncertainty, very much of an uncertainty, as to wheth- er he could win. Dr. Pond had pitched part of Friday’s game and had not shown winning form. I had been watching Hoffer in practice and he showed more form thant any of the pitchers. I knew he had beaten the Bostons and pitched great ball Satur- day, and he was ready and anxious to go in. ‘If you will win,’ I said to Hoffer, ‘I will make you a handsome present.’ He was my last chance. If he failed I knew it was all up for that game. 1 wanted somebody right then and there to stop the Bostons’ scoring, and if we could have stopped them then, Nichols would have lost heart and the game would have been easy. “We had Nichols going in the first two innings, and the only reason he came back was the encouragement received from his team’s hitting and keeping up with our run-making. “Hoffer’s collapse in the seventh inning came through his getting several new baiis in succession. That worried him, the Bos- tons made a few runs, and it was up. I did not take him out in the middle of the inning because none of the other pitchers were warmed up at that time. It all came in a few moments. Hoffer had been dcing well, when all at once. ‘bing,’ ‘bing,’ ‘bing,’ and the game was lost. “I substituted Amole not because I thought there was any chance to win, but I knew Hoffer was done and I wanted to stop the slaughter. Of course, Amole did well. “Phe game wis Tost to us’ and won by Boston. Amole had ail io gain, nothing to lose and could pitch well, while his op- ponents, having the game won, were not trying so hard. I do not believe he could have'done as well had he been put in at the critical moment. You may know how I could have won that game, but I do not.” LAURELS FOR STAR POINTER.

Extensive preparations are being made by Rabbi Stern of the Washington Hebrew Congregation and Dr. George W. Walter, organist, for the services to take place the Day of Atonement. These will be held at the First Congregational Church, begin- ning the evening of October 5 and contin- uing the following day. It is expected that the music will not only be of the usual high order, but much of it has, it is said, never befpre been sung by any choir in Washington. Rehearsals to enable the members of the choir to be- come proficient in their several parts have been already begun. The Day of Atonement, which is regarded as comprising the twenty-four hours fol- lowing sunset of October 5, is observed as a period of fasting, no faithful Hebrew permitting any food to pass his lips. The day is generally spent in the synagogues in prayer. The main feature is the me- morial service for the dead, and consisis of elaborate musical performances and pe- titions to God for the repose of the de- parted. In connection with this service is the custom of making offerings for the benefit Each inéividual pres- ent steps to the pulpit and tells the reader the names of deceased relatives, at the same time handing him a card, upon which he has written the amount he proposes to contribute. The reader, who, in Washing- ton and most other ciues, is the rabbi of the congregation, prays aloud in behalf of the dead, mentioning each one by name, and stating the amount of the offering. Three times during the afternoon services of the Day of Atonement the ark, con- taining the scroll of the law, is opened and the following is sung: “We bend the kni bow down and do homage before the Kin: of Kings, the Most Holy; blessed be He.” The concluding observance is the blowing of one blast of the ram's horn, while the whole congregation exclaims: “The Lord is Goa!” All business among Hebrews will be sus- pended while the services of the Day of Atonement continue. . A LANDMARK AT AUCTION. Sale Thix Afternoon of the National Bank of the Republic Building. What wiil be virtually the closing inci- dent in the liquidation of the National Bank of the Republic will be the sale at auction at 5 o'clock today by Duncanson Bros. of the bank real estate at the south- west corner of 7th and D streets norih- west.. The property consists of parts of sublots 9 and 10, in square and fronts 27 feet 3 inches on 7th street and 100 feet on D street. The building is four stories in height above a deep basement and occu- pies the eniire lot, an eight-foot alley bounding it in the rear. In the bank staie- ments for several years past the property h&s been declared at $70,000, and the fit- tings of the bank, consisting of improved safes, vaults, marble counters and other fixings, at $13,000. . it is understood that the sum of $60,000 cash was offered for the property a few days ago, but was refused. The building was erected in 1865 on the foundations of the old Patriotic Bank, which had occupied the corner up to that time. For purposes of a store or similar establishment the building would have to be remodeled throughout, if not entirely re- built. The lot upon which it stands com- prises 2,762 square feet. The result of the sale will be watched with much interest by real estate brokers and owners of prop- erty in that vicinity. ——_+—__. Transfers of Real Estate.

St. Johanais’ Congregation Chooses Successor to Rev. Hamm. Determined not to lose any time in secur- ing a successor to tneir late pastor, Rev. Marcus Hamm, the officers of St. Johannis’ Germar Lutheran Church, on 4% street southwest, met last Sunday and decided to extend a call to the Rev. George Brod- thage of Washington, Tazewell county, Ill, Last Saturday Rev. Dr. J. D. Severiaghaus, president of the German Theological Semi- nary at Chicago, arrived in Washington and, after a short conference between him and the officers of the church, the decision was reached. Very little is known here about the new minister, and, partly for this rexson, he was called for a year only. While ministers are averse to accepting a pulpit for a stated time, it is regarded as very cértain in this case that the reverend —— will not object to the stipula- jon, Rev. George Brodthage -vas born in Ger- many about 31 years ago. In his young manhood he entered one of the large Ger- Man universities, from which he was grad- vated something over seven years ago. Soon after graduation he came to this country and took a short course at Dr. Sev- cringhaus’ Theological Seminary, in order to familiarize himself with ‘American church work, for which his German educa- ticn had not fitted him. Since then he has been actively engaged in the ministry, and is a member of the Wartburg synod of the Lutheran evangelical general synod. It is not known whether he is familar with the English language sufliciently to preach in that tongue, and as St. Johannis’ Charen has jetided to have the evening service in Erglish, it was thought well to try him be- fcre giving him an extended cali. A pro- vision was inserted in the constitution of the churth several years ago which, if carried out, would have transferred ‘the cengregation te the Maryland synod, but as the former pastor, Rev. Hamm, was a member of the Missouri synod, this pro- vision practically became a dead letter. Now, however, it will probably be carried, and ithe congregation. is expected to apply nembership at the comii 5 the Maryland body.
