THEY CELEBRATED,
Boys who Were Over Hilarious Last
Night.

The sidewalks and streets bore evidence
this morning of the good time enjoyed by
the small boys last night at the expense of
older persons. Flour was thrown by the
boys, and had the same quantity of flour
been donated to the bakers they could have
sold bread for two cents loaf for a week.
The boys spared no one who came within
their reach, some of them even going so far
as to throw flour on passengers in street
cars.
There was one arrest made for this con-
named George Wood. He was introduced to
Judge Kimball this morning as the leader of
one of the disorderly crowds, and the officer
also charged that he was profane.
Judge Kimball fined him SO or thirty days
on the farm, and remarked that he was sor-
ry the police did not catch all the boys in
the crowd.
Ernest Dammon, arrested for making a
bonfire in the street, forfeited S. collateral.
Clarence DUNCAN, colored and Horace
Green were given trial on charge Of
making a bonfire on the concrete pave
ment near 18th and N streets.
There was no proof that these particular
boys actually started the fire.
Judge Klmball, commenting on the case,
said that parents are to blame for the mis-
conduct on Halloween night in allowing
them to run the streets.
These boys were fined 81 each, and the
Judge said he hoped the officer would find
the boys who started the fire.

CORSON 4 MACARTNEY,
MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK STOCK

In Memory of DIR. yelling.

The Prime eton Alumni Association of the
District of Columbia ard Southern States
recently adopted resolutions in appreciation
Of the Christian character and distinguish
ed abilities OF their late associate, DIR.
James c. yelling whose recent and sudden
death saddened and shocked his friends and
the community. After graduating at Prince
ton College in 1914, DIR. yelling filled and
adorned more varied and important public
positions than is usually permitted TO even
gifted men. The association expressed the
sentiment that literary editor OF the
National Intelligencer in its palmiest days,
advocate in the political arena of the cause
of the Union in the great struggle OF 1850,
president of st. Johns College at Annapo-
lis, Md. professor of bellies lettres in Prince
ton College, and later president Of the Co
lumbar University at Washington, DIR.
Welling's influence as an educator was CO.
extensive with the Union; while In the field
of art, science and history, as president of
the board of trustees of the Corcoran Art
Gallery regent of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and president of the Cosmos Club of
Washington, his name is associated with
those who have done so much In the last
quarter of the century to place Washing
ton in its position as an Illuminating center
to the whole country"
At a meeting of the board OF visitors and
governors Of ST. Johns College, Annapolis,
held on the Sd of October, 1894, the death
of DR.. yelling having been announced by
the president of the college, the secretary
of the board was directed to address a let
ter of sympathy and coincidence to the
widow and family of DR.. yelling, on behalf
of the visitors and governors, expressing
their high appreciation OF his ability and
scholarly attainments; Of his many esti-
mable traits of character; his varied gifts as
a man of letters and educator of youth and
his worth as a citizen and upright Chris
tian gentleman; and also to express their
sincere regret at the termination Of his
honored career while still engaged in his
educational work, and in depicting with the
charm and vigor of his graphic pen the
stirring events which marked the history Of
his country during the most critical period
of its existence"

SHOT AT HIS RIVAL.
Nicholas Wood Had n Revolver and
Used 1t.

Nicholas Wood is the name of a young
cClored man who tried to make work for
his employer last week. and now is on his
way to the penitentiary. He is a watch
man at the Columbian Harmony burying
ground, where he is supposed to see that
resurrectioniSts do not appear and rob the
graves. Holding such position, Nicholas
naturally carries a pistol, and If he had
only carried 1t about the city of the dead
at night he would probably not have gotten
himself in trouble. But a mixture of love
and pistol was more than he could bear,
and he tried to end the life of his success
full rival, and make another job for the
sexton of the cemetery. But his aim was
not true. and instead of beDeflting the sex
ton he made work for the police and Judge
Miller.
Annie Hamilton. a cclored maiden who
presiGes over the kitchen in the house of a
citizen near 18th and i streets, is the fair
iamse who caused the trouble. She had
loved Nicholas, but her affections had been
shifted to more prosperous young man
named Arm.'tead Lewis. Nicholas did not
like the idea of being Tilted by Annie, and
he core luded to puS out of the way the
young man who had succeeded him in
Annie's affections. Last Thursday night
was the time he selected for putting into
execution his ideas cor corning his rival.
Armed with the pistol he was supposed to
carry about the CEN etery. he called in the
awaited developments.
Arnstead Lewis was also in the neigh
borhood, and when Nicholas saw him with
his former sweetheart, and overheard their
convers alton, he endeavored to make known
his presence on the street.
Look out, I'll attend to him. he said.
and, drawing his revolver, he fired three
shots in rapid uccession. The bullets miss
ed their mark, but. one of them went
through Annie's dress, but did not injure
her.
Policeman Eaton, who was In the neigh
borhood at the time, was attracted to the
scene by hearing the pistol shots, but the
young man who had done the shooting had
disappeared. He got the mans name as
well the names of the witnesses, and
yesterday Precinct Detective Helan arrest
ed Wood. This morning, before Judge Mil
Ter, Wood was given hearing on a charge
of attempted murder.
He had admitted to the officers that he
fired the shot at Lewis, and claimed that
the latter had drawn knife on him.
Judge Miller held him for the action of
the grand jury, and he was committed in
default of $1,000 real estate security.

by the beard Of the Prophet. we have no
time for such. Let him be forthwith
chucked into the BoSphores. What next?"
Here a series Of feminine shrieks were
heard. and a wonian whose hair was
streaming down her back and the rouge on
whose cheeks was streaked with tear
marks threw herselfbat the Cadi's feet.
"Staffir allah!" exclaimedIthe Cadi What
ails you, woman? and why don't you buy
waterproof paint?' ,
II can't afford it, because / spend all my
money for theater tickets. But, your high
ness, 1 come here for justice against a man
who hath wronged me. The son Of Shitan
paid thirty-six shekels only yesterday, and
hath torn 1t into a thousand bits
who is the dog that hath done this, and
where did he do 1t? Speak, woman. Allah
kebur-God Is great and justice shall be
DONE"
1T was at the theater oh, fountain of all
wisdom. i do not belong to good society
and have no other place to display my fine
raiment, so l wore my new head-dress. Be
hind me sat a kafir who asked me to re-
move my head-dress so that he might bet
ter see the play. Why should 1? / had
paid for my seat and my head-dress, and 1
had right to sit In the one and wear the
other. So 1 simply turned around and
stared at the son of slave. For a long
time he twisted and 1dgeted and lodged
from side to side. and then rising up, seized
my head-dress, tore 1t to pieces and walked
out of the theater."
"Mustapha," asked the Cadi, did you
ever see this ooman before?'
Yes. your sublime perspicuity; I once
sat behind her at the theater."
And for what reason do you suppose the
slave destroyed her head-gear?'
Because he had the nerve your highness
l would have done the same thing If 1 had
not feared your highness might order me
to the bow-string.''
What punishment would you suggest for
the man, then, good Mustapha? ?"
If 1t please your sublime business I
think monument in the public square and
life pension would be about the proper
caper."
And the woman"
Let her be confined for life in a cell with
the windows just above the top of her head
so that she can never see anything but

'Wallah thaibLit is well said. Let IT
forthwith be done. Allah karlm!-God is
most merciful, Mahomet is His Prophet. and

him, am that particular Cadi"

by Judge Cole this afternoon to two years
in the Albany penitentiary for assaulting
Policeman Preston while the officer was
erdeavoring to effect the arrest Of one John
Johnson on the 10th Of last August. Judge
Cole, in passing sentence, said that the Of
Tense was one of the most serious with
which one could be charged. The maxim m
penalty of two years, he thought, should
be made at least ten years, and the mini

sistant District Attorney Jeffords remarke ed

The Proper Thing.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t seems to me that there is simple rem
edy at hand for the so-called "theater hat"
Let women who wear them be taught that
a well-dressed woman OF the world would
no more think of wearing a large hat to the
theater, or any evening affair, than she
would wear a cloth tailor-made walking
dress to a dinner party. The proper head
covering, If any Is worn, is small coronet,
with fiat bow in front, which Is no more
an obstruction for others than the hair.
