William SinI0nston, a middle-aSed white
u-an, was in the Police Court this morning
on the technical charge of assault, though
the offense was of more serious sort than
usual. He was arrested yesterday after
noon in the grounds near the National
Museum by William =. WCeden, captain OF
the watch, who testified that he saw Simon
stOn near the fountain lirst with a little boy
and little girl
Capt. " eeden said that afterward he caught
Simonston taking improper liberties with
the girl, who is SOlIen-hdired little tot
six years of age. The defendants plea was
that De was very fond OF children, these
two in particular, and that he was simply
holdlns them to Keep them from falling INTO
the water. He told Il fairly straight story,
and deniei earnestly that he had been
guilty Of any such shameful act. The childs
father Was pat upon the stand, however,
and testified that On a Sunday morning not
long ago he saw Sim0nston IN the vestiDule
Of his place in a questionable act. In view
Of this additional evidence as to Simon
stOn's character, Judge kiiabdll sent MIN
10 jail for SIX months

ne Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
BY a recent arrival. we have advices from
our sister Tor brother) planet Mars. which
happens to be nearer to the earth than
usual, and, of course, betokens war. 1t
seems. however. that Mars is not scene
of warfare at all. A letter which appears
in the Martial Gazette will give some idea
of it, The letter is dated from Anthro-
MORPHEUS or the next beyond nearer the
sun, evidently referring to this world of
ours. The writer says his transit through
the etherium was easy and rapid until he
reached dense mass of floating vapor, by
which he nearly Suffocated. Descend
ing further, he saw SwdrmS of Insignificant
creatures crawling on the land, but the
surface was mostly water in a violent state
of agitation. Those creatures he found to
be the people, and they were of all colors,
white black red etc. They were fast
ened down to the ground, and unable to
rise above it, and in this respect worse off
than other creatures called birds and fishes.
The people dug into the ground for nearly
everything, and even cut down the shade
trees. They appeared to take their world
very hard, and to use 1t badly, to their
own damage.
What struck the correspondent most
forcibly was the difference of language.
laws, manners and customs. There was no
homogeneity, and every part Of the world
was at variance with every other part.
Neither did the people agree among them
selves.
The people Che writes) have to study
very hard to learn anything, and are not
sure of anything when they do learn it.
Then they accumulate what they call I'll
braries'' of this learning, the mass of which
is useless.
He then notes the ''industrials,' much of
which he regards as unnecessary labor,
injurious, and destructive of human life.
But the strange thing was the distileries,
breweries and rum shops. He read in the
papers Of daily murders, suicides and rob-
berries from this cause, and is inclined
to the opinion that the whole race will be
destroyed by it. The way the people travel
the writes) is by means of Snorting ma
chine, running on strips of iron, laid on
the ground. 1t is fed with fire and water,
and, Of course, will either explode or jump
the track at some time or other. Besides,
it is so arranged that these fiery machines
often run into each other, and kill the
passengers. Such things Che writes are
taken very easily, since human life Is es-
timated at its commercial value only. On
the sea, the people go in large boxes, which
are either driven by the wind, or by turn
ing a wheel in the water. Many of them
are wrecked. but the people appear accus-
toned to disaster, and do not seem to care
what happened. They have no idea of a
peaceable existence. Is.
