Memorial Circle.

circle, let me suggest that the circle be known
as the Memorial circle. "The 14th-street circle''
has nothing suggestive'in it, nor is it euphoni-
GUS. This statue Is a memorial to gallant man
OF whom not only the Army of the Cumberland
but the whole nation has reason to be proud
Besides. the Memorial church, one of the finest
and most picturesque churches of our city, looks
out directly upon this circle. The church Is q
memorial of Freedom and of Peace-a free
church for all the people
From the unveiiing of the Thomas statue let
the circle be baptized by the Army OF the Cum

HIS Yesterday, in the Criminal Court,
Judge Hagner, young man, named Henry
Kaiser. was tried and acquitted on a charge of
robbing Lewis Hawkins of 81 .05 on the 9th OF Oc-
tober last. Hawkins testified that he was 10
years old, and passing 18th and D streets two
parties came up, pretending to be friends of his,
and he invited them to drink. subsequently he
invited them to drink again, and he had alto
gether seven beers. They then walked him down
to 18th and B streets, when man named Cronin
seized him by the throat and another OF the party
took his money. A cOlored Waterman testified
to hearing the scuffie, and when he came out
two parties were moving off and Kaiser appeared
to be backing, when he drew his pistol and halted
him. Mr.. L. Tobriner submitted that a case had
not been made out, and the court directed YER
dict of acquittal. The judge took occasion to
remark that it was not creditable for a young
man to testify on the stand that he guZzled beer
like hog, and he give him some good advice, as
