WHO Is RESPONSIBLE?
Fishing i'm the Public Parks.

To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR:
In strOlling through the Smithsonian grounds
Monday evening, just south of the electric
light plant, where those picturesque little lakes
are located, with their diminutive islands,
capes, bays. peninsulas, straits, &c, l was
somewhat startled on turning an abrupt angle
OF the path TO catch glimpse of the hurriedly
departing forms of some half dozen boys who.
upon hearing my shoes Crunching the gravel,
scurried into the bushes like so many Zulus.
What could it mean. / wondered as l stood r-
resolute. imagining some boyish trick or other,
and looking about me closely. l did not re-
main long in ignorance of what the boys were
up TO. as several of them. becoming treasured

one with a fish-iine in hand and one a bright

prOpounded queries to a widc-awake boy when
he Is caught doing something of doubtful cor
rectness. can easily imagine the result.
Now. here the point are those fish placed
there for the occJllar enjoyment of visitors to
the park. or for the purpose of furnishing cruel
amusement - thought!css boys! If the former.

The Best Drilled Man.

Sergeant Gavin, of the Marion Rifles, captured
the championship of his company as the best
drilled man in the command. after a sharp and
exciting contest last night. There were twenty
four competitors. and for nearly three-quarters
OF an hour Capt. Chas Ourand. of the Washing
ton Light Infantry, did his best as judge. the
result being the retirement of eighteen men.
Gradually the contest narrowed down to Ser
gcant Gavin and Private Shoemaker and they
drilled side by side for nearly twenty minutes
before a slight infraction caused the privates'
downfall.

Serious Runaway Accidents.

Persons residing on street southwest be-
tween 9TH and 10th streets, were treated to a
novel horse race about O'Clock this morning
Two colored brick-cart drivers stopped their
teams on the street and went over to the ZOO
to see the animals While thus enjoying them
selves their horses started off on a race toward
9TH street. Further along the street they came
up with one OF the Independent ice company's
wagons. The horses attached to this wagon
started off and the three teams went through
TO 9TH street at a lively gait. Bid Bros beer
wagon was going west along b street. and the
driver attempted to turn the corner Of 9TH
street and clear the street for the racers. but
before he could get out of their way the four
teams came together and there was IA whole
sale smash-up. The driver of the beer wagon
jumped from his vehicle and escaped unin-
jured. His wagon demolished. and the
tongue OF the ice wagon was broken off. One
OF the spOkes III wheel of the beer wagon was
buried iii the body of one of the ice wagon !
horses and had to be sawed off at the fello. 1t
then took two men to pull it from the animal
The lamp-pOst at the corner WAS broken off at
the pavement. In a few minutes there was a
stream of beer and blood flowing toward the
sewer. The cart drivers Jared better than the
others. and drove away with their horses and
carts Uninjured.

More Regulation Called For.

From the Milwaukee :, ntinei
The soul is more than the body. and vet in
the flood Of bills to regulate things for the pro-
lection of the ignorant there is not one to pro-
vide for religious commission to pass on the
qualifications of those who propose to doctor
disordered souls in this state. In the treatment
of the distempered spirit no less than in the
treatment Of diseased bodies. there are certain
things which it Is assumed that preachers should
know Surely the religious doctor should be
able to read and eXpound the Scriptures intel
hgenty. which means a thorough and rare I'M
Outstanding of words. He should be able to
read the Hebrew well as the Greek. and he
should know all the results of the study of COM
paratiye religion. He should, perhaps, know
something of the modern science ofpsychology.
III we are to pay respect to learning in the
medical profession as We have i'll the horse
doctor profession, surely. we should pay the
same respect to learning III the pulpit.
Therefore, the medical bill should be fol-
lowed by religious bill for the establishment Of
IA board of religious examiners to shut out false
soul-doctCrs. just as the medical bill will shut
out Christian scientists and other false body
doctors. Then there should be a law to pro-
hibit the eating of hot biscuit and cold pie and
another to abolish the skillet From hot bis
cult, cold pie and fried things come personal
and social miseries and bloody revolutions
But for these things the south wOuld never
have rebelled. Cold pie is responsible for nine
tenthS OF the murders in New England. and
fried meat was the predisposng cause of Ku-
kluXlsm III the south. Let us have q cold-pie
commission along with our medical, horse-doc-
tor and religious commissions.
