The Bathing Beach.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Allow few words in favor Of the bathing
beach. am one of the many in this city who
have watched and admired the untiring efforts
of Mr.. Stevens to establish a creditable free
bathing beach for this city, with the hope that
success would crown his efforts. No one ac-
quainted with the history of nations will doubt
the utility Of outdoor sports and recreati ons,
and none Is OF greater value than that of bathing
The site selected is an admirable one and, aside
from local interests, may 1t not be great at
traction to summer tourists? Who among the
many constantly coming from every state in
the Union would not highly prize the privilege
of going down and padding in the historic Po-
monument, and in view Of the Capitol,
White House, Treasury, State, War and
Navy building, Arlington. &c.9 Let us hope
that Congress will grant liberal appropriation
and that ere long fine bathing beach will be
not only one Of the city's attractions but
blessing to the large number who by force of
circumstances remain here instead of packing
up and hieing themselves away to Cape May or
Atlantic City for their summer bath On a re-
cent visit to the beach l found Mr.. Stevens and
his assistant both very polite and agreeable gen.
tlemen, and 1T seemed to me specially fitted for
their work. Those who had suits could get
room without charge, and those having none
could hire one for Is cents. All the boys were
looked after in a most fatherly way, and those
who could not swim were turned away in so
gentle manner that they were rather inclined
to laugh than cry. l know many will join me
in hop ng that Mr.. Stevens will stick to his pur-
pose and that all who can aid in any wav will
do 70, and that at no distant day we shall have
q bathing beach which will be a credit to the
city. Would not the subject bear some agita-
ton? What do others think of it? d. II. j.

A WARNING TO OTHERS.
The Sentence Imposed on George Hawk
for Assaults In the Soldiers Home

The Sentence Imposed on George Hawkins
for Assaults In the Soldiers Home.
The trial Of George Hawkins, the negro ar
rested for numerous assaults in the Soldiers
Home grounds, was concluded in the Police
Court yesterday afternoon. The court heard
the testimony, in addition to what was given
several days ago, as printed in The STAR at the
time, and Lawyer Darlington offered testimony
to show the good character Of the defendant.
Judge Mills held the prisoner guilty of the
charge, and in passing sentence the court had
something to say about protecting the public
parks from invasion by such persons. The
parks, said the judge, should be places where
ladies could walk alone without fear Of molesta-
ton. If lady is not safe with male escort it
is difficult to imagine what would happen to a
lady should she go alone. The judge said that
he intended to do all in his power to make the
parks what they ought to be, and one act in that
direction would be to make an example of this
prisoner. The court had no doubt as to the
guilt Of the prisoner, as he knew the complain
ant to be an honorable citizen, who would not
state untruth. A sentence Of 1854 days in
Jail was imposed, and Mr.. Darlington gave
notice of a motion for a new trial.

POLICE COURT ANNALS.
The Cases That Were Heard This Morning
and How They Were Settled.

anu now They Were Settled.
Mr.. Alexander r. Mullowney, assistant dis
trict attorney, is off somewhere in the wild west
enjoying himself, and during his absence Mr..
Clagett is representing the government in the
Police Court. Mr.. Clagett does not have high
appreciation of the character of the persons who
come there on business One evidence of it is
the fact that he carries his last years straw hat
about the court and seldom risks leaving it on
his desk or chair. There is no such thing in the
court room a hat rack, and keys to the lock-
ers are not provided.
When the court opened this morning there
were but few prisoners in the dock and Mr..
Clagett did not have many cases to be tried.
Jerry Green, a colored man. was one of the
defendants and the charge against him was an
assault on Peter Boon.
Guilty" replied Jerry when arraigned.
This mans been going with my wife and that 9
what caused the trouble"
Statements were heard on either side and the
judge thought that Jerry almost justified
in what he did. As he was technically guilty Of
the charge fine of ii was imposed.
Howard Herndon's trial was a short one. He
was charged with assaulting Martha Anderson
and as the affair complained of was of triflng
nature the court accepted the personal bond of
the defendant.
Another defendant was Hattie Hughes. The
PoisoA WHO com Planned OF being ll-treated was
a boy named Ernest Williamson. Hattie story
showed that she had more cause for complaint
than did the boy.
He always done beat me-" she said, and the
judge dismissed the case.
Ella Brooks was charged with an assault on
Arthur Blackwell She was out on So collateral
and because of her failure to appear the money
was forfeited.
A dairyman named Charles Bohannan was
accused OF having assaulted boy named Jas.
Monroe. The boy, it appeared, threw stones at
the defendants COWS, and the latter grabbed
him and threatened to turn him over to the
police. The boy claimed that the defenda ut
struck him and kicked him, but the evidence n
other witnesses showed that the boy greatly ex-
aggerated the facts Judge Mills thought that
Mr.. Bohannan was right in trying to protect
his animals against the stone throwing and dis
missed the charge
David Crouch, an old citizen from South
Washington, appeared for trial on charge of
threats, but there was no one present to prose-
cute him
Had you been drinking?'' was inquired
II wasn't full he replied. Policeman Hay
den told the court that Crouch was arrested on
complaint Of his wife, but the wife did not
