To the Editor Of the National Republican:
''HollY Tree Lunch Room No. 2" will be open
to the public Tuesday, June 2. Monday even
ing, at o'clock, devotional exercises will be
held. All are invited. No better illustration can
be given of the needs of just such places than q
Circumstance that occurred last week.
A member Of the committee in charge Of "Holly
Tree No. l." returning home in company with her
husband, when the good man very gently sug-
gested he thought the hour I'll o'clock) rather
late for women to be away from their homes
She replied, 1--WE will count the number of saloons

You may count at least ten persons for each places
when multiplied will make more men away from
home and subject to temptation than the whole
number Of members Of the Woman's Temperance
Union"
The husband could not resist the argument
and encouraged her and all to go forward in this
good work. While more than thousand Of these
places are so temptingly open every night, there
Is field of labor white for the harvest " but the
laborers are few.
The Union would gladly add 0 reading-room to

Ancient and Modern Cstspults.

Before the invention Of gunpoWder and the In
PRODUCTION of artillery It's place in siege operations
was supplied by the catapult, q military engine
which discharged stone and arrows upon the
enemy. A weapon bearing the same name, and
doubtless constructed upon the same principle,
although on q smaller scale, has recently become
in England the source Of what is denounced as g
homicidal psstime. Persons while walking
through the parks or waiting at railway stations
in London have been suddenly struck in the face
by stones discharged from these eatapults, and in
some instances have narrowly escaped most
serious injury from the missiles. While the
Princess Of Wales and i've Of her children were
travelling on the Great Western railway to Wind
sor not long since, the window Of the saloon car
riage in which the royal party were was struck
by q stone evidently discharged from catapult,
and the plate glass, although q Qusrter Of an
inch thick, was broken. Fortunately none Of the
occupants were sitting close to the window or
serious consequences might have followed. It was
at first surmiSed that the perpetrator Of the prank
or ou rage was an Eton boy, but the Eton College
ChToniele now states that after minute inVesti-
cation conducted by the masters and leading boys
Of the school, by London detectives and local
ofhcisls no evidence has been found that could In
any way criminate any one OF the boys. Search
for the real offender is still being prosecuted.
Similar casualties occur in this country daily
from the use Of rubber elastic sings for the pur-
pose Of hurting missiles.

The trial Of Jerome ]. Hlnds charged with

was terminated Saturday afternoon, in the Orim-
inal Court, Judge Macarthur.
At the opening of the court, as indeed through

which he contended not only failed to prove
Kinds to be guilty, but actually proved that he
was innocent, and that there was q conspiracy
against him, he closed with warm appeal to the
Jury.
Judge Spence, United States Solicitor for the
Post Once Department, closed the case. He
summed up the evidence, and urged the Jury to
do Justice.
After Mr.. Justice Macarthur had charged the

LUEATICs REMARKS.

He Raves About the Washington Monument
An English gentleman Of fine personal appear
anee, 3 stranger in the Capital, entered an F.
street car day or two since, and in a short time
began soliloquiZing as follows: "God bless Vic
toria! God bless the Queen the mother devoted
10 her country and beloved BY her subjects. God
bless the British Empire and her people! They
are loyal people, proud Of their Queen and coun-
try 7" When the car came in sight Of the Wash
iIgton monument he clasped his hands apparently
in distress Of mind, and exclaimed: America! /!
poor America Though great, she has no patriot
tsm, no love Of country" Pointing his finger to
the monument, he said: "Yonder stands Americas
disgrace! No American can look upon 1t without
shame. That monument was designed to be
erected in honor Of Q man who belonged not ex-
clusivelY to this nation, but whose fame has
spread throughout the world" Everybody felt
great commisselation for the eloquent gentleman,
as they soon discovered from his language that
his mind was impaired, and yet in his WRnderings
he told truth that may yet awaken some
of our people to q sense OF their patriotic duty.
