"There ought to be another
Children i'm the Streets.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:
most heartily second all that was said by
sc. a. W." and others in Saturdays STAR
against the danger OF children playing in the
streets. i drive about the city nearly every
day, and my experience confirms all they say
One can scarcely drive a square in any direc-
ton, in the evening especially, Sundays and
all, without having TO stop or suddenly pull up
the horse to keep from running over children,
1t Is marvellous that more accidents do not
occur. do not see what parents can be think
ing of to let their children run such risks, as
pecially those using roller skates and velOci-
pedes Another serious trouble is that many
OF the children instead of trying to get out @f
the way, actually seem to try to get in the Way.
almost invariably running across just in front
OF the horse apparently seeming to think that
IL Is smart or an exhibition OF courage. Another
serious trouble arises from the habit of throw
ing stones, sticks, tin cans, old pans, pieces OF
wire, hoops and all sorts OF material into the
streets, not unfrequently throwing them at or
close by a passing horse 1t Is a shame and an
outrage that such practices should be tolerated:
and IL seems to me that if the police authori-
ties would really try they could soon put stop
to- it. OF course, the most of this is done by the
hOOdlums, generally the colored ones but if
their parents Will not teach them better the
authorities should. There is q law prohibiting
the throwing OF anything into the streets; and
L remember not many years since, when a mer-
chant was arrested for sweeping the litter from
his store into the street. Another great nuis-
ance Is the loose paper that is thrown out
horse and cause runaway than sheet of
paper whlrled by the wind suddenly i'm front of
a horse, and the person who will deliberately
throw paper in the street is as thOughtless nd
about as mean as he who throws banana peeI
Oh the sidewalks, and both ought to be severely
punished. ! do not see why the police and
other authorities do not make some effort to
stop sucn practices. A CITIZEN.

Latest Styles i'm Bracelets.

trOm the Jewellers Circular.
The bracelets worn to-day are in remarkable
contrast with the old-fashioned chain manacles
and stiff broad bands of former times. The lat
ter were valued chiefly according to size and
weight, while the present styles include only
such as are delicate and dainty in construction
and Of artistic pattern and finish. Numbered
with new things attracting deserved attention
and promising to have a long run are elastic re-
versible gold bracelets. These bracelets are
composed of little box-shapea sections strung
together on gold wire spring, and so arranged
that the bracelet can be slipped over the hand
with perfect ease, and yet adjust itself closely
to the arm when in place. By this arrange
ment troublesome fastenings are entirely dis
pensed with, and there Is not the slightest
danger of losing the bracelet from the arm. In
addition to the merits of flexibility, durability
and elasticity, is the fact that these bracelets
are reversible. They are equally well finished
on both sides, and show two distinct styles of
finish, affording two bracelets in one. For in
stance, the block pattern sections on one side
may present the "crackle," or OZARK" finish,
and on the other plain or etched surface; or
again, gems may appear on one side for even
ing wear, and a plain surface on the other for
less ceremonious occasions. The bracelets are
as readily turned as are strand of beads on
q rubber cord, with the advantage of a
durable gold wire coil In place Of destructible
rubber.

John Anderson, My 10.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
The publication in last Saturdays STAR of a
third stanza to Burns song of John Anderson,
My 10, John," calls to mind a third stanza,
also, which was produced at a literary reunion
in February, 1871, by the late DIR. C. c. Cox.
VINO sang the song in a spirited manner. 1t was,
stated that in many editions of Burns this beau
tifui song has only two stanZas, while i'll other
editions IL has as many as eight credited to the
scotch poet The following received by
DIR. Cox in a private letter from Connecticut
and said at the time probably erroneousy) 10
have been written by Mr.. Northrop, of Hartford:

FALLS CHURCH, VA, May 1 9th, 1886.
On the evening of the 18th inst, THE STAR,
over my initials, stated that the passenger rates
over the Washington, Ohio and Western rail-
road were not to be increased, Notwithstanding
published statement by the company to the
contrary. In the next issue of your paper it
was claimed that this railroad company had in
creased its Communication rates in one instance
from $50 to $50. 80 per quarter, and that people
living on the line of the road were contemplate

from the superintendent of the w. O., & w. X.

he states: I'm answer to your inquiry, would
say that there will be no increase In the COM
mutation rates this year over those in use last
year We have had much to complain of in
the past respecting this road, but as the present
management seems TO realize that the interests

A Cat Adopting n Coon Kitten.

To the Editor ofTHE EVENING STAR:
The statement in a recent issue of cat adopt
ing and caring for the young squirrels, is doubt
less correct Such events are not SO unusual
as many suppose. L knew of an instance in
Scion, n. Y. where a man captured some young
eoons and gave one to the young son of Gen.
Hathaway, then a member of Congress. He put
IT with litter of kittens, and the mother cat
took the same care of it as of the kittens. II
grew up and became perfectly tame, and would
follow lis mother like dog. He used to bring
III TO school, where il made "a deal of fun by ram
saeking the children's dinner baskets in search
OF sweet cake, OF which ii very fond. even
crawling into OvercOat pockets, and when too
small thrusting in its paws in search OF apples
or anything il could eat. VIC D.

There is q tale in the last number of the Pho
neer Mail which ought to prove useful to any
author on whom Capt. Mayne Reid's mantle
has fallen. A railway survey is being carried
on Through the North Cachar hills in Assam,
and among other difficulties II encounters Is the
number of man-eating tigers which infest the
district. A few weeks ago Mr.. Lodder, the as
jungle to work In the early morning with q
party OF nine men when tiger suddenly sprang
forward, seized one of the Goorkhas by the
throat and was of In an instant. Mr.. LOdder,
armed only with q Ratchet, at once gave chase !;
three of his men joined him, and following
bits Of the mans clothes, they ran the beast SO
close that after mile and half he was COM
PEELED to drop his victim. What was LEFT Of the
dead body was tied to a bamboo and the little
party pushed back with their burden. Every
English sportsman shoots tigers nowadays. but
there are probably few who, like Mr.. LOdder,
have run man-eatine tiger down and robbed
him Of his prey.

The Coming Contest in Virginia.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR THE GOVERNOR

The democratic state convention of Virginia
will meet June Goth to nominate state ticket.
Among those who are prominently mentioned
for the democratic nomination for governor this
year are Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of Alexandria; ex-
Judge Waller r. Staples, of Montgomery
county: Mr.. p. w. Mckinney, of Prince Ed
ward, and Congressman Geo. G. Cabell of DAN
willie. 1t seems to be pretty generally conceded
that the debt question will again be an active
issue in the contest this year. Both parties are
committed to the Riddieberger debt settlement
adopted by Mahones legislature. Objection
has already been urged against some of the
most prominent democratic candidates for gov
ernor that they have been in the habit of pay
cult in the present mood of the people of Vir-
ginia to find stronger objection against a can
didate than this. 1t is quite certain that no

BETRAYER.
About o'clock Saturday afternoon Rodolpho
Rodriguez, fourth cornet player In the Next
can band at the New Orleans exposition, was
shot four times and MORALLY wounded by John
c. Golding, an exposition gatekeeper. The
shooting occurred just outside the entrance to
the exposition grounds, near the gate and close
to the Mexican barracks. 1t grew out of atten-
tons paid by the Mexican 10 Goldings daugh-
ter, employed in one of the booths at the expo
sition. The girl had absented herself from
home, and when questioned on the subject
made q confession involving the Mexican.
Thereupon the father, after satisfying himself
of the identity of the Mexican by questioning
him, demanded reparation. This being refused,
Golding opened fire, shooting i've times In al.
Four of the bullets took effect in the Mexicans
arm, neck, back, and chest. Rodriguez ID
about 10 years old, the girl about IL, and very
pretty. Golding was arrested while I'm the act
OF firing the last shot in his pistol. The whole
affair was witnessed by q number OF the Mexi-
can mem bers of the band, 20 whom Roderiguez's
amour was well known, yet not one made the
slightest effort to save their companion.
Rodriguez is at the hospital in q dying con-
dition.

How Riel Can Re Tried.

The Toronto, Ontario, Mail, the govern
ment organ, says there are two processes by
which Riel can be tried. First by a military
general court-martial, and second by the ordi-
nary civil tribunal of the Northwest. AS an
American citizen he can be tried in the same
majesty in Canada. AS to those misguided
individuals who, being subjects of her majesty
In Canada, levied war in Canada with Rel
citizen of a foreign country, the law provides
that they may be tried either by militia court
martial or by the civil tribunal, and punish
ment on conviction Is death as felons. The
trial may be anywhere in the northwest terri
tories. An appeal can be taken to the court OF
queens bench In Manitoba. The sentence that
must be passed upon Riei and his associates ON
conviction, Is the death sentence.
