negro woman named Martha Lewis, who lives
on the hill near Wythe and Pitt streets, east Of
Portner's brewery. On his arrival at the house
he was refused admission. but put his back
against the door and forced it open. Martha
Lewis got away out OF her back window, and
the crowd in the house fell upon Officer TIGER
with sticks and stones and attempted to kill
him. He was driven out of the house, after
suffering an avalanche of blows and having a
bad cut made in his head. Surgical assistance
was given him, and it was found that the princi-
pal injury was severe scalp wound.

that their steamer did not call and take them

The Fastest Mile on Record.

from the Baltimore American.
This year promises to beat all its predeces-
sors in the way of sporting events Especially
is this true on the turf. Yesterday, at Chi
cago, the great western FLY Maori ran mile
in one minute th!rty-nine and four-fiTths Sec
onds, the fastest mile ever recorded in a race.
1t was n great piece of work, probably the
greatest ever known. In 1871. at Louisville,
len Brock ran mile against time IA 49,,
but even THIS, made under ~ much more favor
able circumstances. was only one-tWe ntieth of
a second faster than Maori's performance
among the annoyances of a race. LII we take
the outside time, Maori ran in less than the
figure given, but the ofhcial time goes on
record. We are obliged to accept that The
fastest previous time made in a race was lao
at Sheepshead Bay by Stuyyesant in 1877. and
by Dadge very recently at Sheepshead Bay
Maorls achievement was undoubtedly due to
the extra prize of $1,000 which was offered to
the horse that broke the record. This is a
good feature to incorporate into all racing
events. Under the present oircumstanc es.
when horse has race III hand he is slowed
up, and the people do not get the full benefits
OF his possibilities. Take the case of the won
derful colt FL Rio Rey. which came under the
wire the other day under pull in very nearly
record time. A good-sized prize for beating
the record would have made that race almost
phenomenal

DANCING NOT ALLOWED THERE
Sensation In Georgia Over the Proposed
Ball in the New Capitol.

An Atlanta, Ca, special to the Philadelphia
Press says: Georgia has sensation ON the
dancing question. The magnificent new capt.
tol building, which has only been occupied by
the state for a few days, was to have been the
scene of a grand ball on the Sth OF August,
given by the citizens of Atlanta in honor of
the state house officials and the members OF the
legislature, now in session in the new building.
ArranSem, nts were being made on a most ex-
tensive scale, the mere item of invitations
alone costing $1,000
All ola sudden. however. the alarm was
sounded by some extreme chaTcLmen ia one of
the secular papers y. the state and The cry was
taken up b! th2 antl-dancing element of the
Methodist and Baptist churches III every part
OF the state. They wrote communicat lions to
the papers and complained very loudly that it
woIId never do to desecrate the magnificent
new capitol of the state by allowing Z. dance to
take place iii it. 1t had the desired effect The
Resolution pending III the senate to grant the
use of the building 10 the citizens committee
IN charge of the affair WAS reported back yes
terday with the recommend itlon that it be
passed providing they did not allow danciu;,
on the occasion OF the reception. The senate
favored the amendment by about three TO one.
This had the effect OF putting stop to the pro-
ceedings, as the reception will not be given
with the dancing feature knocked out.

THE REFRESHING SHOWERS.
To Continue Until To-morrow-A Tall
with the Weather Prophet.

Lieut.. Thompson, who Is in charge Of the
July weather forecasts, has called up sufficient
clouds in the neighborhood to give us a re-
freshing rain. This morning he divided his
attention between the maps in front of him
and the heavy bank of black clouds visible
through the open western window. Over on
the table was the thermograph engaged in its
slow climb toward the point Of no further
endurance. but it had fallen behind the record
Of yesterday by about a degree. Still the
lieutenant could not see sufficient GOODNESS
ahead to forecast fall in temperature so he
predicted 'heavy showers, clearing on Sunday,
stationary temperature"
sHAKY ABOUT HIS SUNDAY WEATHER.
He explained to The STAR reporter that he
was a little shaky about his Sunday weather,
for it was very uncertain whether or not the
storm that is now central over western New
York and is bringing rain all to the west Of US,
clear up here before late tomorrow afternoon.
Still if it began raining here before night the
chances were good for a clearing tomorrow
morning. He thought that it would be heavy
rain, as in the western part of Virginia and
Pennsylvania this morning several severe rain
falls had occurred.
The temperature, he thought, will remain
about as it was yesterday. between SO and 80
but the presence of the clouds and the humid
condition of the atmosphere will cause a preya'
lent feeling Of discomfort and considerable
doubt as to the accuracy of the thermometer.
AFTER THE RAIN-wHAT?
There is an area of high barometer behind
the storm that will probably cause clear, warm
pleasant weather on Monday and possibly on
other days of next week.
The country is we'll balanced in temperature,
there being no excessive heat or chill any.
where. Temperatures vary but to 4 degrees
and in the most erratic manners. Two towns
side by side have the same degrees Of heat, and
two others similarly located some distance away
vary several degrees. But the average is ex-
tremely good, and the readings are unusually
even.

The Children's Country Home.

The children are this season established in
their new home at the corner OF Broad Branch
and Grant roads. the ground for which was pre-
sented by Mr.. c. c. Glover. The gifts oil
money. it is stated have not been so large at
usual this year. yet the expenses have been
greater i'll consequence of the removal and
establishment in the new home.
Seventeen children can be accommodated al
one time i'll the home. Each child is allowed
to remain for two weeks, though If any are
found to be greatly in need of u longer holi-
day it liz given til m. Among those recently
admitted to enjoy the country air was young
g.rl who had been discharged from the hos
pital cured and who was yet too weak and
delicate to work or be made comfortable in her
own home.
There is also in the institution family of
three destitute children, one baby. The
mother of these little children was ill. and only
after being relieved of the care of them could
she be taken to hospital to receive necessary
medical attention. Any contributions of money
will be most acceptable to the managers OF the
home, and The EVENING STAR will receive
them.

The Family Physicians DUTY,

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
A family physician should be the family
health officer also, and make occasional sani-
tary surveys of the premises. look over the bill
of fare and suggest such changes and improve
ments as he may deem necessary for the bene-
fit of all. and for the delicate in particular.
Some physicians might think this beneath
their dignity, but those who have the health of
their patrons at heart will not object to it.
These tony chaps are among the first to charge
the death of patient to the bad sanitary con-
dition of the house in which he lived, or to his
indulgence in improper food. This may all be
true, but does it exonerate the physician?
Wasn't it his duty to warn his patient
OF the danger that beset him? True, he
may not have known it, but he could have
found it out if he had taken sufficient interest
in his patient to inspect the premises and to in
quire what he was eating. Physicians owe it to
themselves to inquire as to the sanitary condi-
ton Of the houses of their patrons. By 90 do
ing they will be enabled to determine the
causes OF disease and to remove them. II you
will ask your family physician to inspect the
premises he win do SO, and viii cheerfully
give you suggestions concerning them that may
save the lives Of your children.

board Of pension examiners Of this district,

A MINISTER'S RASH TALK.
Why the Rev. Monroe Drew of Leclaire,
Iowa, Has Left that State.

Leclaire. Iowa, is a river town II miles north
Of Davenport, noted for the number of steam
boat and raftmen, who live and congregate
there. 1t is agitated now as It has never been
stirred before by a sweeping charge made by
the Presbyterian minister from the pulpit last
Sunday night TO the effect that a virtuous
woman between the ages of sixteen and twenty
five years could not be found in the place. The
pastor is known the Rev. Monroe Drew. and
he is quite young man. He came from Chi
cago four months ago, and has been preaching
to growing congregations He was sensational
in his ways OF putting Gospel truths, and
many were drawn to his services out of curl
osity. Last Sunday Mr.. Drew particularly
severe. saying that immortality had captured
the town. lie stated in all seriousness that he
had been told a woman of honor did not live
in Leclaire. At the end of the service the
young preacher was surrounded by his hearers,
who made
VIOLENT PROTESTS
at such unbecoming language. The next day
be was waited upon by thirty young ladies. and
public retraction was demanded. Mr.. Drew
wanted to take back his words privately. and
TO apologize to has callers. but they would have
none of It, The next step WAS the calling of q
mass-meeting. which held Thursday night
III the largest hall In the town. More than four
invited the minister TO attend. but a report
from Port Byron saws that he lie. this state aud
went over into Illinois, fearing personal injury.
The meeting was organized by ealing justice

Rotary. Some very plain words of denuncis-
ton we're INDUCED in, and later committee
composed OF two men and thr women. all
married, was appointed to prepare a report
PUBLIC INDIGNATION.
After elaboration the report was submitted.
1t expresses indignation at the statement made
from the pulpit and asserts confidence in the
character of the young ladies Of the place. IL
demands of the trustees of the church the i'm
mediate discharge of Rev. Mr.. Drew and avows
public contempt for the outrageous insult to
the community. All Presbyterian churches
are warned not to have anything TO do with
Rev. Mr.. Drew. Lawyers have been consulted
with the view Of instituting suits for SANDER.
Mutterings of tar and feathers are often heard,
and some OF the young ladies declare that they
will not let the matter drop until public
traction is made, coupled with an apology aud
promise not to enter the pulpit again.
