i. Is Always Morning or Evening
with the People of Washington.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - Strangers to
Washington often remark upon the GUS
tom of addressing one at all times of the
day by the uniform salutation, Good
morning" 1t sounds odd to a Westerner to
hear one address him with Good morning
at o'clock in the afternoon.
This custom is as old as the Congress of
the United States and the hours of execu-
tive business in the various departments.
1t is said to be directly due to the morn
ing hour in Congress. The standing rules
of the two houses of Congress provide for
a morning hour" which extends from u
to O'Clock and that provision has made
il common TO refer to morning business"
i'm Congress- which occurs before the reg
ular order" 1t is frequently that the regu-
lar order is not resumed. and the morning
nour is extended until 4 or o'clock in the
afternoon, especially IN the latter days of
a Congress, and when there is a great jam
of business. In the executive departments
reference is made TO the mornings work.
during the entire day. This is all, of course,
official parlance. The custom has grown so
that il extends throughout social life and
In all sorts of private business, until Ii is
morning until all government business is
at an end in Washington. When the sun
goes down and twilight sets in IL is Good
evening" 1t is never afternoon in the ma
tiOnal capital.

A CowARDLY ASSAULT.
A Young Lady Hit With a Rock by
an Unknown Man.

Miss Kate Burke, young lady living
on North High street just beyond Mr..
d. F. Scott's residence, was the victim
last Saturday night OF a most cowardly
assault by some unknown man. Miss
Burke was on her way out home and
had reached the High street bridge when
she noticed man cross from the oppo.
site side of the street and fall in few
steps behind her. She paid no attention
to him and he continued following her
until they reached a point near DR.. Rud.
isill's residence when he stepped up
closer to her. She stepped aside, think.
ing he wanted to pass her, when sudden.
ly and without the least warning he
struck her vicious blow full in the face
with large rock which. he had in his
hand. She was stunned for a moment
but her screams attracted the attention
OF DIR. Rudisill, who came out Just in
time to see the fellow making his way
across the street and through scott's
field. Miss Burke was taken to her
home and physician summoned. His
examination showed that her in
juries were not dangerous, although
they were very painful. A deep cash
in the forehead, which laid the bone
bare, showed with what force the blow
was given.
1t is thought that robbery was intend.
ed but that the fellow was frightened
away before he could make any furthe,
attempt to secure the money which Miss
Burke had with her. She had come ur
street that evening with considerable
sum for the purpose of paying Building
Association dues but was too late to pay
in the money. Before starting home
she made several purchases in North
High street stores and it is probable thai
her money was seen there by the mar
who afterwards tried to get it.
The man was unknown to her but she
gives description of him which may re
suit in his being found. She thinks ht
was white man, tall and rather slender
with light mustache and wearing /.
long overcoat, which she thinks had .
cape attached to it.
Indignation is high over the Outrage
and if the cowardly brute is caught h'
should get the full extent of the law
The police have what they think is
pretty good clew and it wouldn't be sur
prising if there should be an arrest in
few days.
