Her Husband Sick and Her Oldest Son
Arrested, a Woman Attempts Suicide.

A case showing the sad condition of affairs
existing in the Pelor family was called in the
Police Court this morning. The defendant in
the case was Walter E. Pelor, a fourteen-year-
old newsboy, who was charged with being a
suspicious person. He had been arrested for
breaking into peanut stand on F street. Two
colored boys who were implicated were used as
witnesses. Walter is the oldest of five children
His parents live at No. 974 Boundary street
northwest. Mr.. Pelor is painter by trade.
but he was recently taken i'll, and three days
ago he was sent to the Garfield hospital. Last
night the boy, who has been selling newspapers
and providing for the family as best he could.
was arrested. and this added another chapter
to the mothers troubles and she made up her
mind to end them. She procured bottle Of
laudanum and took dose of the deadly drug
large enough to prove fatal, but the unfortu-
nate woman was discovered by friends before
the laudanum had done its deadly work. DR..
Henderson was summoned and under his care
the patient recovered. Her friends feared that
if left alone Mrs. Pelor would repeat the
attempt. and to prevent her from doing SO
some one has remained with her since.
Judge Miller lectured the boy about his con-
duct and said that Notwithstanding the sad
condition of affairs existing at his home, other
peoples property must be protected.
Policeman Mulloy told the court that
the family was in destitute circum-
stances, and that he had asked for assistance
for them this morning. and Officer Rhodes gave
the information that Pelor and his wife were
Woodworking and industrious people.
Judge Miller, in sending the boy home 20 his
mother, gave him some good advice about his
future conduct. He was released on his per-
sonal bonds

THE LATE JOHN GILBERT.
The Veteran Actor Passes Away-Brief
Sketch of His Career.

John Gibbs Gilbert, the veteran actor, who
died in Boston yesterday afternoon, was born
in that city about 1870 His histrionic bent
was first manifested In amateur theatricals
His professional career was begun at the Old
fremont theater, Boston, November 2S 1923,
when he appeared as .Jaffier" to the .Belvi-
dera" of the beautiful and celebrated Mrs.
Duff. 1t and his portrayal of .Sir Edward
Mortimer" in 1.-The Iron Chest. which followed,
constituted an uncommonly successful debut.
From Boston Gilbert went west, south and
southwest working hard in stock companies
for six years. Afterward he went to Europe
Returning to his native country Mr. Gilbert
and his wife played in the Park and Bowery
theaters, New York. From 1851 to 1854 he was
at the Chestnut street theater. Philadelphia,
of which he was stage manager He was the
original Uncle Tom in that city, and it was
there also that he first played Macbeth and
..Falstaff" three characters that probably he
has never played anywhere but in the Chest
nut street theater. From 1854 to 1853 he was
at the New Boston theater. In the autumn of
1858 he reappeared in New FORK city, playing
Dominic Samson" in Guy Mannering," in
support of Charlotte Cushman, at Niblos gar
den.
Afterward he became attached to the stock
of the Arch street theater, Philadelphia, and
then he joined the Wallack-Davenport Combi-
nation, with which early in 1862 he returned to
New York, opening again at Niblos garden.
September o. 1862 as .'Sir Peter Teazle," he
made his first appearance at Wallack's theater
with which house, either at 18th street or at
30th, where he remained until the house
changed hands. Of late years he has played
mainly in notable revivals of the old comedies

The Hampton Investigation.

10 the EdltOr OF HE EVENING STAR:
That the unfortunate affair of HAMPTON
school has been dragged before the public is
not of my seeking. The investigation took
place eighteen months ago, at the request of
Secretary Lamar. not of Secretary Noble. as
stated in your article of the 18th. The evils
chlhy complained of had been rsmedied-that
OF the table by the officers of the school them
selves, that Of the dungeon by the order of the
government My report was resting quietly in
the Interior department. where it would have
rested probably for all time had not our friends
OF the board Of Indian commissioners seen fit
to bring II to light by publicly questioning the
justice OF Its criticisms. If your article had
given the testimony of the wardens of the
states prisons. as quoted in nv letter to Gen.
FISK, L think 1t would have strengthened the
convection OF the needless severity Of the dis
clpllne at Hampton. and also Of the mistake of
the commissioners in forcing the affair into
public view by a published attack upon NV
unpublished report 1t would not have
strained their charity to believe that nv in
terest in the school and my friendship for its
principal, Gen. Armstrong. would have pre-
vented me doing any injustice to the institu-
uon L. s. CHILDs.
