business at Radford, went to j.. O..
Hanes' European Hotel, on Jefferson
street, last night, and planted himself
in an arm chair in the doorway. Pretty
soon tho chair went over backwards,
and Hancock went with it. Mr.. Hanes
picked up the chair and told the man
he had better put on his shoes and get
away.
Hancock said no wanted room, and

cock then put on his shoes and went
away. Some time afterward he came
back and told Mr.. Hanes he had prom

had not. Hancock then called him O

stunning blow on the side of the head
with stone tied up in a handkerchief.

THE DISTRICT TRINITY.

The Washington Post is making
vigorous and commendable drive at the
peculiar tripartite government which
rules over the District of Columbia. A
suitable motto for inscription over the
portals of the District building would
be Chancellor Oxienstern's remarka
BILE aphorism: "Behold with how little
wisdom the world is governed"
The three commissioners hold star
chamber proceedings, in which the in
terests of quarter of million of peo-
Pile are discussed and settled as arbitra-
rily as though they were the Car Of
Russia rolled into three. Individually,
good men have been selec ted for CON-
missioncrs, but invariably discord has
run rampant in every board since the
commission system was established. 1t
is radically wrong. A free people can
never be successfully governed from
above. Until the District of Columbia
becomes free unit, and the citizens
have power to elect their own rulers and
depose unsatisfactory servants, there
will always be discord.
The system is an anomaly and slap
in the face Of free institu tons. Citi
Zens of the District of Columbia have no
moro actual voice in the control of their
own affairs than SO many Russians.

a Church Lawn Party.

The lady managers of the fair which
was to have been given this week by
the Lee Street Methodist Church, but
which was postponed, have decided to
substitute lawn party, which will be
held on the hill on Commonwealth ave-
nue., opposite Hotel Roanoke next Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
cone-shaped roof will be erected over
the grounds, which will be made attrac-
tive with Japanese lanterns, different
colored lights and beautiful women.
The programme, which has been ar
ranged with great care, is a unique one,
and all Indications point to the fact that
the affair will be very successful one.
