STOLE A COPY OF Colored Boy Fined and Lectured for the Offense. * Arthur Hall, a colored boy, about fifteen years old, was today sent to jail for fifteen days in default of the payment of a fine of $5. imposed by Judge Kimball for stealing a copy of The Star from Mr. Albert Foy. Hall admitted his guilt. “I do not know of a meaner crime,” said Judge Kimball to the accused, “than to steal a copy of The Star, or any other daily paper. For a man to go out to his front door of an evening and expect to find his Star and be disappointed, because some boy or man has stolen it, is the cause ef the commission of much sin, and if you are ever brought here again on a similar charge I will send you to the reform school.” Mr. Foy said he had been following Hall for three weeks, as he had long suspected that he was stealing his papers, but was unable to detect him in the act until last evening. The accused denied this and s: he had taken but one copy of The Star, above stated. He also denied that he had ever before been arrested on a criminal charge, but his brother contradicted this statement. ns ITs AL MEETING. Local Luther League Receives ports and Elects Officers.

Prompt Action Saves the Lives of Two Ven- turesome Skaters, allation of Officers by Two Lecal Ledges—Trinity Church Mission— General nad Personal. But for the prompt action of Detective Larry Kilmartin, Policeman Wheeler and an unknown white man, Hugh Martin, of 2217 I street, and Clarence Barclay of 2210 age, would not be in the land of the living today. The boys attend school, and after the session yesterday determined to enjoy a skate. They went on the Rock creek ice, near the M street bridge, to have some sport, not being aware of the danger there. Young Martin fell through, after going a short distance, and his friend bravely went to his rescue. He, too, broke through, and both boys, while struggling in the water, cried lustily for help. Their cries were heard by the two police- man and the unknown man, and they ran to the rescue. The unknown man went over the icy surface and dragged Barclay from the er. Martin had in the mean- time become exhausted and chilled, and kad gone under the ice. An ax was se- cured and a hole was cut in the ice about fifteen feet distant, and the boy was for- tunately rescued and brought ashore. He as unconscious, but by dint of hard work le was resuscitated, and later both youths were sent to their homes. Odd Fellows Install Officers, The officers of Covenant Lodge, No. 13, I. O. O.

The mission at Trinity Catholic Church will commence next Sunday morning, Jan- uary 16, and continue for a period of two weeks. For over a month past the subject has been discussed from the altar of the church, and it is expected that all of the services will be well attended. It is under- stood the mission will be conducted by Father Himmell, who conducted the last event of the kind at the same church. In case he is unable to attend, one of the fathers of the Society of Jesus will per- form the task. The whole of the first week will be for women. and the second week is reserved for the men. The Knights of John. At the last regular meeting of St. Augus- tine Commandery, No. 254, R. C. U.

ASKS FOR MORE MONEY. Appropriation Required to Continue Hand Cleaning of Streets. Mr. W. Stutler, superintendent of street sweeping, today submitted to the District Commissioners a recommendation for a deficiency appropriation of $7,201.35 to con- tinue the present schedule of hand clean- ing of the streets and avenues of the city for the remainder of the fiscal year. Mr. Stutler stated to the Commissioners, in support of his recommendation, that the estimated amount set aside for such class of work for the current fiscal year was $32,077.67, the average number of yards cleaned daily being 426,000, at 32 cents per 1,000 square yards. Up to January 1 the amount expended was $18,149.42, leaving an unexpended balance of $13,928.25. As the sum of $21,129.60 will be required, it is esti- mated, to carry on the work for the re- mainder of tae fiscal year, the sum of $7,201.35, therefore, becomes necessary to be appropriated to pay for the work. The de- ficiency is said to be due to the fact that the hand cleanitig system has proved so satisfactory that the Commissioners direct- ed additional streets to be so cleaned. —_.—_ The New Civil Service Bill. At a meeting of the regular House com- mittee on civil service reform an under- standing was reached that the republicar conference bill modifying the law should be considered at the next meeting.

Robert Leetch, Reese Alexander, Hartwell McCartney and Robert Tenney, all of this place, will leave next Tuesday to resume their studies at Lafayette Col- lege, Pennsylvania. The holiday season was of unusual length owing to the burn- ing of one of the handsome buildings of the university, involving a loss of about $160,000. Funeral services were held this morning shortly after 10 o'clock at the chapel in Oak Hill cemetery, over the remains of Miss Susan W. Turner, who died at Brook- lyn, N. Y., January 6. Policeman George Seymour, who for scme years has been connected with the Georgetown station, and who was recently transferred to the fourth precinct in South Washington, has resigned from the force. —_—— OPPOSITION TO BILL. Objections of Georgetown Merchants to Proposed Ferry. The bill pending in Congress in which permission is given for the establishment of a ferry acrcss the Potomac at the foot of G street, running to Analostan Island, a measure introduced for the Falls Church railroad, is going to meet with a good deal of opposition, it is said, when it comes up for discussion. The opposition will come mainly from Georgetown merchants, who are at present anxiously discussing the ef- fect it will have on Potomac river com- merce. ‘rhe river is particularly narrow at this point, and, it is claimed, the continual pass- ing to and fro of the ferry boats, with the obstruction already offered by the Long bridge, will affect navigation seriously. it is argued that this road should enter tae District by means of the present Aque- duct bridge, which should be so reconstruct- ed us to permit the extra passage of the cars without interfernmg with traffic. Men of experience in such matters positively assert that the present plier undergoing re- construction can be removed entirely and the bridge so spanned as to permit its re- moval without interfering with its strength, at a saving to the government, at the same time removing an obstruction from the channel, and expediting the passage of the ice in winter. It Js claimed that very few bridges are constructed at the present day with a span less than two or three of the spans of the present Aqueduct bridge thrown into one. It is also asserted that the piers of the present bridge have sus- tained a weight eqval to ten times that to which they arg now subjected. The greater the weight of the superstructure, the better the service of the piers, it is said. It is claimed, also, that a saving of ten or fifteen minutes can be affected in crossing the Aqueduct bridge on cars instead of cross- ing the river and entering Washington by means of a ferry. —_—_-_ LIMIT OF THE LAW. Colored Woman Sentenced to Peni- tentiary for Six Years, Annie Ross, alias Mary Williams, alias Annie Henderson, a middle-aged colored woman, was today sentenced to serve a total of six years in the New Jersey state prison at Trenton, she having pleaded guilty to two indictments, each charging second offense petit larceny. The sen- tence, which was imposed by Chief Justice Bingham in Criminal Court No. 1, was the limit of the law—three years in each case. ‘The offenses involved the larceny of per- household goods from Charles C. Adams. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN H streef, each about fourteen years of ARCHITECTS IN SESSION The Annual Meeting of Washington Chapter Bold fart Brena am Sketch of the Organization as Given by Mg, Glenn Brown—Elec- ‘tion’ of Officers. t td a Sy The annual meeting of the Washington Chapter, Americdn Institute of Architects, was heki lagt night at the chapter room of the institute, 096 F street northwest. It was the tenth anniversary meeting of the founding of'the chapter in Washington. An election was held, at which the fol- lewing were re-elected officers for the en- suing year: J. C. Horrblower, president; J. G. Hill, vice president; E. W. Donn, jr., secretary; W. J. Morris, treasurer; J. R. Marshall, W. N. Poindexter, Glenn Brown, committee on admissions. An Interesting paper on the history of the chapter was read by Mr. Glenn Brown. He stated that before the year 1887 there was no permanent organization of archi- tects In Washington, although about 1880 @ local society started. It had but a brief existence. . In the spring of 1887 the American In- stitute of Architects was represented in Washington by the following members: W. E. Bell, Adoif Cluss, John Moser, J. L. Smithmyer and Glenn Brown, as fellows. The asscclate members were William Poin- dexter, C. A. Didden, 8. M. Howard, O. Von Nerta, P. J. Peltz. With this number it was thobght a chapter of the Ameri- can Institute of Architects could be formed here, and letters were sent to architects requesting them to become members. The Initial Meeting. The first meeting was held June 9, 1887, in Mr. Didden’s office, 709 13th street, with the following architects present: John Moser, Glenn Brewn, William Poindexter, C. A. Diddea, 8. M. Howard and O. Von Nerta. A temporary organization was ef- fected, William Poindexter being made temporary chairman and Glenn Brown tem- porary seeretary. The followirg names were selected at the first meeting of architects who were not members of the institute, to co-operate in the formation of the chapter: Horn- blower & Marshall, J. G. Hill, Read & Kirkus, W. Bruce Gray, H. L. Page, Kim- ball & Low, E. C. Garnier, A. B. Mullet, Robert Stead, T. F. Schneider and H. H. Law. The constitution and by-laws were adopted at the meeting held July 17. Ata meeting held August 11, the same year, the ciganization of the chapter was compieted by the election of the following officers: J. L. Smithmvyer, president; William Poin- dexter, vice president; Glenn Brown, sec- retary; C. A. Didden, treasurer; J. R.’ Mar- shall, Adolf Cluss and C. H. Read, commit- tee on admissions. Application was made for admission to the institute, and a char- ter was issued to the chapter September 21, 1887, The chapter has lost only one member by death, Mr. Paul Schultz. Methods of the Association. The Washington Chapter has numbered among its menbers three supervising arch- itects of the United States treasury and an architect of the Capitol. It held its first meetings in the offices of its mem- bers until Mr. Robert Stead tendered it a room free of expense, which it has oc- cupied since.! To accomplish the objects of the organizaticn, as stated in the con- stitution, the chapter has availed itself of four methods: Social intercourse, dis- cussion and <actich on public topics of in- terest to the ‘profession and community, exhibitions and talks and the collection of an architectural library. Several efforts have been made to elect honorary members, but, as this requir the unanimous vote of the executive com- mittee, only» one has been thus chosen, John 8. Billings, U. 8. A. ‘The following members have served as presidents of the chapter: J. L. Smith- myer, elected August 11 and re-elected Oc- tober 9, 1887; Adolf Cluss, October 5, 1888; y. M. Poindexter, October, 1889-90; J. Rush Marshall, October, 1801 (after which time the election was changed to January), again January 6, 1803; Glenn Brown, Ja uary, 1894; Robert Stead, January, 1595-06; J. C. Hornblower, January, 1507, and re- elected last night. The chapter was invited by the Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia to aid in the revision of the building regulations in 1891 and in 1896. Among the questions which have frequently been before the chapter for action has been that of re- quiring architects to vass an examination befcre they should be allowed to practice their profession, but it has never been settled definitely. — A VERY CLOSE CALL. How a Country Editor Was Mistaken for a Burglar. “The recent safe robberies out in Mary- land recall a little incident that happened to me out in my town some years ago,” said a western man to a Star reporter. “One night the post office was broken open ard some fifty or seventy dollars taken. Two nights afterward the main store in the place was burglarized. Then a perfect epi- démic of robberies came upon the place. First one store and then another would be broken open and never a clue left behind. Finally there was a meeting of the towns- people and it was decided that squads of three men should be stationed around the town and nab the fellows who had been committing the depredations. I was edit- ing the country paper at that time, and the night upon which the meeting took place I was in my office working hard to get out the sheet by morning. I knew nothing of the citizens’ meeting, and there- fore nothing about the squads of men who were to patrol the town. “It was 2 o'clock in the morning before I had finished my labors. My brother and I locked up the office and started for home. As we neared the post office we saw three men standing in the ehadow of a tree near by. My brother clutched my arm and whispered that they were undoubtedly the burglars, and that we had better pass on, secure a posse of men and return. After we had gone a few paces I looked cau- tiously back and to my dismay found that the men were following close behind us. We crossed the street, thinking to shake our pursuers, but they also crossed and qvickened thelr pace. I was wholly ua- armed, but my brother had a pistol. It had but two loads in it, however. They called to us to stop and began firing upon us. My brother turned and emptied his pistol, and then we broke into a dead run, with the men close at our heels. Well, we outran them and were nearing the end of the town when three other men loomed up before us. One of them had a double-bar- reled shotgun aimed at my head when I caught sightiof him, and I stopped short in my trackseunderneath a lamp post. ‘Good heavens!’ exclaimed the man with the gunj ‘is © you, Jim? I thought you were a burgtar, ‘#nd in another minute I would have blown you to pieces.’ By this time the other squad had come up, and there was a. general cry of amazement when the trye state of affairs was made known. I’ve’been in many tight places, but that was the €losést call I ever had.” CHARLES MEYERS’ RASH ACT. i allows Garbdiic Acid and is Pain- =fully Burned, Charles Meyers, thirty-three years old, who was ee in the United States army, acid last night in what at@ne used was believed§by. wife to be an attempt to commit dhicis Despondency, the re- sult of being out of employment, it is re- ported by the police as the cause for the rash act.

Experience of an In- ianapolis Gentleman. No trouble is more common or more misunder- stood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are sur- Prised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies; the real seat of the mischief {s lost sight of; the stomach is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the Usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous yspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitatcs and is irregular; in others the kid- neys are affected; in others the bowels are con- stipated, with headachée; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect strect, Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows: ‘A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few Ines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a suf- ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They sometimes gave temporary relief antil the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper with Uttle physical exercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above 1s written not for notoriety, but is based on actual fact. “Respectfully yours, “A. W. SHARPER, “61 Prospect Street, Indianapolis, Ind.”” It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of stomach. They cure sour stom- ach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn, constipation and headache.
