has been accomplished by him. While in the

THE POLICE COURT JURY.

Thirteen Talesnnen Excused and the Rest
Ordered to Report Tomorrow.
Twenty-Five of the twenty-six persons whose
names were drawn from the box to serve as
jurors during the July term Of the Police Court
answered in court this morning when their
names were called On account of the day
being q legal holiday Prosecuting Attorney
Mullowney expressed some doubt as to the
validity of jury organized today. Judge
Kimball, however, was satisfied that the act of
March 8, 1891, settled that question, but in
order to avoid any possible complications in
the future and prevent the trouble which
might ensue the court decided not to organize
the jury.
In order to incur a. little expense as possible
the court listened to the various excuses made by
was that their acceptance as jurors would in
lure the business of the respective talesmen.
Some were merchants and had not the necessary
clerks to leave in charge OF their places of busi
ness, while others were clerks whose import
ance was such that their employers business
would suffer by their absence. few
sick excuses we're given, and one man
asked to be excused on account Of
his wife's sickness. One man from Georgetown
was too deaf to be Of much use in the Jury box
and he was excused. In all the court excused
thirteen men and the others were notified to re-
turn tomorrow when additional names will be
drawn from the box. It IL more than probable
that the jury will not be organized before We'd
nesday, so that before that time no jury cases
can be heard.

There was no special holiday proclaimed nor
formal observance of the Fourth of July at

HE COULDN'T SWIM.

That's the Reason He Was Refused Bath
on the Bathing Beach.
The bathing beach is closed to you sir
You cannot swim"
1t was the guardian of the peace who spoke
and he was addressing Young man who stood
shivering in a bathing suit after vainly en-
desvoring to secure permission to take a
dip.
''Well. suppose 1 can't. am willing to take
the chances. and if 1 drown it is my own looI
out" said the young enthusiast.
That makes no difference. You cannot &c
in here. 1t is the Commissioner ORDER
Then I'll go in over here" he said. indicat-
ing point hundred feet east of the beach
where twenty-five youngsters were disporting
themselves.
IF Won are properly clad / cannot stop you.
But the place is dangerous and 1 would advise
you not to go there"
''But what am to do?'' appealed the young
man. Il want TO learn to swim and if that
place is dangerous and this place only open to
swimmers perhaps I'd better follow the advice
the mother gave to her daughter:
Mother may 60 Learn to swim?
Yes my darling daughter.
Hang your clothes on hickory limb,
But don't go near the water"
The policeman laughed and replied:
Il appreciate your position young man and
would like TO help YOU. The entire trouble.
however. is just this: Congress allows a small
appropriation for q bathing beach and the
money is expended. 1t is found that twice
thai sum is really necessary to make the
beach safe. The public cry for it and the Com
missioners throw il open. Several people are
drowned and then this same public cries out
anew and heaps blame upon the
Commissioners for sanctioning the opening
of an unsafe place. There was but one thing
for the city rulers to do-close the beach until
additional funds could be secured to render il
safe. Then another complaint went mp from
the public. A hearing was given by the Com
missioners to those interested in the matter,
and the former expressed great desire to
throw open the beach if ii was SAFE for as
they very properly said: IF we open this
beach the presumption is that it is safe, and
parents viii trust their children there. Should
an accident occur we would be partially to
blame So the Commissioners did the only
proper thing under the circumstances. They
appointed a committee to investigate the beach
and report its condition with regards to safety.
This committee was composed of two good
swimmers, and the examination of the beach
was thorough. Enough was discovered to show
that the beach was unsafe to those who could
not swim unless a stationary fence was erected
at the edge of the fill. As there is no money to
build such fence, for the appropriation is long
since exhausted. the only thing to do was to
limit the use of the beach to swimmers only.
That is the whole story. and I cannot see how
any sensible man can blame the Commissioners
in their desire to protect the lives Of the
citizens"

The local wheelmen generally are celebrating

most of them went in the mountainous country.
either in Maryland or West Virginia Many of
those who left here Saturday afternoon went by
train to such places Hagerstown, Martins
burg or Cumberland and spent yesterday on the
fine roads of Washington county or on the lime
stone pike through the Shenandoah valley.
More than twenty members of the Capital Club
are spending the day in the vicinity of Gettys-
burg, after ride from Hagerstown via PEN
mar yesterday, while the Arlingtons ore some
where on the road in the vicinity of Frederick.
There were many wheelmen who did not go
away Saturday or yesterday, and early this
morning groups of them, mounted on their
rode out of town to enjoy the day in
the country.
There was no run of the Columbia Club to-
day, as the lawn party opened at o'clock this
afternoon. The rain yesterday had bad effect
on the decorations. but the club members were
Mt work early this morning and before the time
FOR the opening everything was put in order.
There was music in attendance, and dancing
will be indulged in this evening on the tempo
rary floor constructed on the lawn.
Referring to the published statement that the
recent Irvington- Milburn race was run under the
auspices of the League of American Wheelmen,
it is denied that the organization mentioned
sanctions any racing on the public highways.
Speaking Of the matter a member Of the organ
ization says:
The L. A. W. does not sanction road racing.
The practice is unlawful and dangerous. One
fatal accident and several serious ones have
been caused by it in England, and the sport
loving Britons are now declaring against it.
"Cycle road races have been allowed in this
country by sufferance, but they are always IL
legal, and cannot be run without interfering
more or less with the legitimate rights OF other
users of the highways.
"The league has nothing to do with road
racing. 1t never recognizes or countenances
the practice, but, en- the contrary, always ig-
nores it. The league cannot afford to sanction
any Illegal or improper use OF the public
roads and has 20 disposition to do so. 1t de-
sires to gain and hold the respect OF good cltl-
zens for wheelmen, and for this reason strives
to induce cyclers at all times to obey the laws
