SHOT THROUGH THE ANKLE.
Policeman Christie Brings Down q
Thief With a Bullet.


Hackless Gilbert, colored was shot in
the foot by Policeman Christie on River
street yesterday morning about 3 o'clock
Gilbert and another negro, who made
his escape, had a lot of brasses which they
had stolen from the cars on the Central
railroad wharf and which they were just
putting into a boat at the market dock
when Policeman Christie discovered
them. Both men ran at the sight of the
officer, who called to them to halt. They
did not halt and Christie fired. putting a
ball through one Of GilbCrt's ankles, shat
tering it badly.
The other negro continued running and
escaped. Gilbert was taken to the bar
racks, and was afterwards carried to the
Georgia Infirmary for treatment. His
wound is serious and be may lose his foot.
He refused to give the name Of his accom-
pliCe who was with him at the time but
he is believed TO be a switchman at the
Central railroad wharf
The robbery of braSses from the Cen
trail railroad cars is continual, and proves
very annoying to the roads AS Jack
screws are carried on all the engines in
case of accident, it is very easy matter
for brakeman or switchman to steal out
a Jack and with the aid of an accomplice
jack up the aXles of the cars and steal
out the brasses, which are hidden away
until a convenient time is found to carry
them off.
The thieves find it very easy to dispose
of the brasses, as there are many dishon-
est persons who are glad to secure them at
low prices, without asking any questions
The railroad detectives are constantly
following up such cases, and unearthinq
the thieves and their fences, but as they
so about their work very quietly, very
little is heard of the cases.
If they can persuade Gilbert to confess
he may be able to give them some valu-
able pointers.

is 10 years Of age at the beginning Of ses-

and few of the boys are not sorry when their
term has ended. Usually four Of the boys
who are graduated from the pages position

their records for efficiency and faithfulness.

keep him out Of doors a great part Of the

considered more desirable than that OF a

must be on duty at O'Clock each morning,

Mr. Robert Downing. supported by
the beautiful Eugene Blair and an excel
lent company delighted two large au-
diences at the Mozart Academy yester-
day. "lngomar" was presented TO an
excellent matinee crowd OF spectators,
and the play appealed strongly TO them.
The piquancy and sweetness OF Miss
Blair. and the excellent histrionic tall
ent OF Mr.. Downing never appeared TO
better advantage. and had the play been
supplemented by prettier and newer
scenery it would have been all that
could be desired.
At the evening performance Richard,
the Hearted, was presented. It
tells the story OF the cOurtship Of Rich
ard i and the Princess OF Navarro, and
the plottngs OF the Earl OF Norfolk.
Five acts are required TO present the
tale Of love, war and diplomacy. and each
act serves to give but a small quota OF
the story. II drags its weary length along

THE COMMITTEES MISTAKE.
Tho Mixed Method of Convention and
Primary Satisfies Nobody.

The action Of the City Central Demo
cratic Committee Tuesday night was re
ceived with genuine surprise by the
Richmond public, when they read the
morning papers yesterday.
The matter was discussed everywhere
on the street to the exclusion of all
other questions Of the hour.
Indeed great disapproval was expressed
at the mixed method adopted by the Com
mitee, and it satisfies neither the candi-
dates nor the voters.
Some Of the candidates claim that the
Committe has unnecessarily saddled
them with very heavy expense. and
that no matter how hard they work or
how much money they spend in the legi-
innate expenses OF the primary. the re-
suit is doubtful and uncertain, and they
will still be subjected 10 the log-rolling
combinations and trickery Of a political
convention
The voters are even more outspOken
than the candidates They feel that the
committee has treated them to a sub
terfuge giving them a shadow for the
substance, and that at least they have
been denied the right Of choice in the
selection Of the candidates.
1t is the general opinion on the street
that the action Of the committee in
adopting a convention and intermediate
primary to nominate the candidates for
the State Senate and House Of Delegates
will create dissatisfaction IN the party,
and the committee is receiving any amount
OF uncomplimentary criticism because Of
the belief in the public mind that the
action OF the committee was the out
come Of political combinations 10 advance
the interests Of particular parties.
1t IS reported that the candidates are
so dissatisfied with the expensive and
complicated methods put upon them by
the committee that they will make CON-
mon cause by holding a meeting to-day
for the purpose OF peutloning the com
mttee for a primary pure and simple.
The concensus OF public opinion is that
the committee has made q mistake.

WOMEN m r1TERATURE.
The Distinctive Quality ofTemininity That
Once Prevailed.

There used to be in the literature pro-
duced By women distinct quality OF fem

although names of living writer's might DO

quality which everybody recognizes has a
charm cutie Distinction any grace ofstyle
as it il usually defined. 1t is as indefinable
as the charm Of beautiful woman. The
most that we can say Of it is that IL Is
note Of femininity.
No man, whatever his esprit, or his deli
cacy, or his lightness of touch, has ever
had il, not even the most effeminate among
men writer's 1t is a most desirable and
valuable quality, and the one quality that
women can and men cannot contribute TO
literature. In these days most women con
slider it a compliment il their anonymous
writings are taken to be the productions OF
men. And men-they are still so ungal-
lant-would be annoyed if this careless
judgment be passed upon their work,
sounds as If it were written by a woman
II is Understandable why women wish to
be thought to write like men on the theory
that literature, like other art, is sexless,
and that there is only one standard Of eX-
cellence. But it is not understandable why
women. enfranchised end come as an equal
into the kingdom Of letters, should wish to
drop a quality so fascinating and so full OF
r,otoncv and charm as that we are speaking
of. Practically in her competition with
men she has dropped it, We encounter it
less and less. And it is a grave question
whetherthe reinforcement Of literature by
an increasing number Of women who write
so that their productions cannot be distin-
guished from those of men is compensa-
ton for the loss of this lovely quality OF
femininity.
Is it necessary that women in gaining
knowledge and skill should sacrifice this
