the suit, neither party shall be admit

LOCAL NEWS OF THE DAY
COURT OF APPEALS


A tragic accident occurred here
last night, resulting in the death of
Miss Matilda Chase, lineal descen-
dant of Samuel Chase, a Maryland
signer Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence Miss Chase lives in spacious
house Oh Maryland avenue, built in
the olden times, with ample rooms,
broad halls and spacious stair ways.
Her relatives, two young people, Mr..
Orlando and Miss Nellie Ridout. left
her sitting before the open crate in a
spacious hall at ten O'Clock where it
was her custom to read the Scriptures
before retiring. What followed Miss
Chase relates: "She sat there until
twelve o'clock, when she observed
she was on fire at the bottom of her
night dress. She endeavored to put
it out, and wrapped herself in rug,
but the flames gained on her, and
burned all her clothing off, save a
woolen undergarment She then
walked up stairs to her room, threw
the burning shreds from her into the
fireplace to save the house from bur.
ing washed her hands and called Miss
Nellie Ridout " 1t is thought Miss
Chase fell asleep and canght fire, as it
was 2 o'clock this morning when she
called for assistance, and not mid.
night as she supposed. Miss Chase re.
mained conscious to the last and died
at 1870 this morning. She was about
90 years old, the granddaughter of
Judge Jeremiah Townly Chase and
the great-grand daughter of Sam
uel Chase. She is a sister-in-law to

would cease or be in any considerable
degree diminished" How does he
know that drunkenness has not di-
minished ? Has he sneaked around
town hunting up places where the IL
legal sale of whiskey is carried on,
and drawn his conclusions from what
he has discovered In those vile
haunts? Is he 'blind fanatico in the

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Please allow me through your columns to cor
rect a mistake in yesterdays issue. notice in
the "secretarys report of Associated Charities
the following statement: Every case reported
during the year has received careful, prompt
and thorough attention" Above all things a
charitable organization should confine itself TO
the truth. Four mouths ago /, in person, re-
ported most worthy case to the Associated
Charities" an aged couple, the husband
stricken with paralysis while going out i'm Tie
horrible weather of last spring TO earn his daily
bread. His wife, a sufferer Tor years. and, at
the time receiving treatment at the hospital,
was compelled to forget herself and devote her
entire time to nursing her husband and sewing
for living. For eight months now he has been
on his back hOpeiessly paralyZed and she
almost crushed beneath the burdens of life.
Imagine my surprise on returning to the city
after an absence OF four months to find that the
Associated Charities" SO called, had taken no
notice whatever of the case, and my still
greater surprise on seeing the "secretarys re-
port in yesterdays issue. TRUTH.
