To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Through the medium of your valued paper,
reaching as it does, the homes of a MAORI
ty of Washington residents. l wish to call
attention to the evident and unfeeling dis
regard of the proper treatment of the
horse.
1t is to the manner Of overlooking to ex-
cess the express wagons which convey
trunks, valises, ETC., to and from the de-
pots that l desire to call particular notice;
in behalf of an human feeling. in behalf
Of a common realization of right.
Two instances of this unwarranted and
excessive overlooking have been brought to
my notice within the past few days. the
first Occurring on 9th street, particularly
evidencing the very apparent brutal treat
ment Of this same Quadruped. On this &C.
casion the rear springs of the wagon were
so weighed down by the immense load upon
them that they met, touching each other,
" lille the trunks and valises rose high above
the drivers head. To this wagon was hitched
one horse, one horse to pull this vast load,
and what wonder that he could not move
it, for it was such a load as two horses
would be working faithfully to pull
Have we no law that will punish these Of
tenders? If not, let our esteemed trium-
virate see to it that there is such munict-
pal regulation as will bring these offenders
within the arm of the law.
Moreover, will not our Humane Society
brethren second this appeal for municipal
Intervention If there be not a regulation
under which these violators can be pun
ished? S. c. NJ.

Trouble at the Mission

During the noon-hour prayer meeting at
the Central Union Mission today there was
a scene enacted in the auditorium on the
upper floor which called for police inter-
ference. Two young men. James Brady
and Thomas Gardner. called on Superin-
tendent ponnelly to ask for an exchange of
tickets. They had lodging tickets, but at
noon they thought they needed food more
than they did bed. and this was the eX-
change they wanted to make.
Brady was under the influence of liquor.
and Superintendent Donnelly did not care
to have any dealings with him, but Brady
had no idea of going without his dinner,
and before there could be a peaceable set
t'ement of the difficulty there was a fight.
In this trouble James Welsh, who has
been at the mission several days, figured,
and blows passed between him and Brady.
SO it is charged.
Gardner says he would not see his friend
Brady assaulted. and he struck WEIGH.
Detectives Boyd and Proctor responded to
a call for the police, ard arrested Gardner
and Brady. They charged that WEIGH had
committed the first assault. and wanted
him arrested, but he was only summoned
as a witness.

The stir of activity attendant upon the
annual session of the Supreme Castle,
Knights of the Golden Eagle, began in
earnest today. As stated in The Star Sat
urday, it is expected that fully 10000 MEM
bers of the order will be in the city at the
opening of the session tomorrow.
The reception committee. of which Mr.
F. C.. Townsend is chairman, has not been
idle today.
Representatives are stationed at the rail-
road depots to meet the incoming knights
and escort them to quarters. The arrivals
have been somewhat slow, but there are al
ready sufficient men in the attractive and
distinctive uniform of the order to be seen
in the streets to signify that something I'M
usual on the tapis The visitors will prob
ably reach the city in swarms tonight and
early tomorrow morning.
The principal feature of interest to the
public in connection with the session Is the
big parade at 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
in which 5000 men will probably participate.
The line of march will be as follows:
From I'd street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, on Pennsylvania avenue to 14th
street, to F street, to 18th street, to Penhsyl-
vania avenue, to 18th street, countermarch
to Executive Mansion, passing through the
grounds of the same, continuing on Pennsyl-
vania avenue to 18th street, to Pennsylvania
avenue, to 9th street, and there dismiss.
The column will pass in review before the
supreme chief and lieutenant general on
Pennsylvania avenue near 9th street, on the
return march. All general, field and staff
officers, marshals and aids will parade
mounted.

Is 1t 1873 or 17SS:

Has it ever occurred to any one to ques-
ton the accuracy of the legend Built in
1888" which is inscribed on the tablet af-
fixed to the barn of the Mt. Vernon estate?
That the date is prochronism seems
probable from the fact that the mansion
itself had not then been built, and 1t is not
likely that the barn antedates the dwelling
house.
But the inscription is open to suspicion on
other grounds. 1t looks as If its figures
had been restored after suffering more or
less placement, and one may hazard the
conjecture that in retouching the original
some modern painter, mstaking the blurred
and half-obliterated Fights for threes. unwit-
tingingly transformed 1ISS into 1888. The
former date is assumed to be correct for the
reason that in a letter of December 4. 1885,
President-elect Washington wrote to Ar
thur Young of England as follows:
The building of brick barn has occu-
pied much of my attention this summer
1t is constructed according to the plan you
had the goodness to send me, but with some
additions.
"a friend at my elbow suggests that now
sdays candidates for the presidency employ
their time, not in building barns, but in
mending their fences.)
Now the structural proportions of the
present barn correspond very nearly with
the plan and specifications furnished by
Arthur Young, as described in his Annals
of Agriculture" the variations being suf
ficently accounted for by Washington's
phrase, with some additions"
These circumstances afford strong pre-
sumptive evidence in favor of my hypothesis
that the original date was changed by a
tracerS blunder.
If this view be correct, the barn built by
OUR first President should become an object
of peculiar interest to the visitor at Mt.
Vernon, whereas one can feel only languid
curiousity concerning it, on the superstition
that it was erected before the father of his
country had completed the first year of his
life, namely, in 1913. w. H. RAND.

HONORING LIBERTY BELL.
A Big Reception Given Last Night Mt
Knoxville.


Like q benediction the liberty bell sped
through the Roanoke valley, over the Blue
Ridge mountains, and down through the
valley of east Tennessee, yesterday There
was no firing of guns. no blaring of brass
bands, no wild hurrah, but the country that
furnished so many Union soldiers during
the rebellion demonstrated beyond question
its loyalty and patriotism. Sunday schools
OF all denominations were marshaled by
their pastors; educational institutions turn
ed out the youth of Virginia and Tenres-
see, and bLllet-scarred ex-confederates
walked side by size with G. A. r. verer-
ans, uncovering their heads in salute
At ElliSton a greatgrandSon of Patrick
Henry, himself a white-haired man of sew
enty, pressed forward and craved pernl:s-
sion to touch the bell. Here full Sunday
school sang a patriotic hymn.
1t was dark when Knoxville was reached
but people swarmed on the bridge over the
railroad into the big railroad yards where
the bell car was sidetracked. There was
no formal reception, but Mayor Thomp-
son. with the board of aldermen, received
the party. With them were committees of
Daughters of the Revolution and other
patriotic organizations. The crush of peo-
pie was tremendous and until nearly mid
night there was a stream Of people around
the bell Today the bell will push through
eastern Tennessee to Chattanooga, where
the exercises include a pilgrimage to the
battlefield of Chickamauga and Lookout
mountain.

cused of Robbing n Store.
Two young men went into George w.
Fechner's jewelry store. No. 231 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, Saturday afternoon and pre-
tended they wanted to make a purchase.
One of them madeSa selection. but did not
make purchase. They hurried out of the
store. and when they had gone the proprie-
tor of the store discovered that a gold
watch, silver watch, silver chain and gold
pin were missing. Soon afterward Police
man Bateman found the young men in a
neighboring pawnshop and recovered he
pin and chain. Both men pretended to he
very drunk, and one. OF them who gave his
name as William Norton, said that the
other man, Thomas Palmer, had used him
as tool.
When Policeman Bateman reached the
pawnshop and placed the men under ar
rest Palmer resisted, and during the strlg-
gle that ensued the officer found 1t neces-
sary to use his club. Palmer, who is an
employe of the District water department.
gave his name as Dunn when he reached
the police station. The police say that he
has only been here about a year, and Sc
cured his position through the influence of
persons connected with the Central Union
Mission. A pedestrian, who witnessed the
arrest, saw one of the men have a silver
watch in his possession, but the watch was
not found on him at the station.
When the case was called in the Police
Court this morning the charge against the
prisoners was grand larceny.
Miss Nina Fechner, fifteen years cid,
daughter of the proprietor, was the prin-
cipal witness. She told the court that the
men came in the store and one Of them,
Norton, said he wanted to purchase a pres
ent for his "best girl"
She showed him several pieces of jewell
~, and no finally decided upon a pin
There was a broken glass in one Of the
show cases, and she suspected that Palmer
wanted to get his hand through the open
ing.
When Norton decided upon the pin he
got her to write card and then he want
ed to see something that was in the win
dow. She turned her back to go to the
window, and that instant she heard noise
as If made by the other mans hand in the
show case She turned and walked to he
case and both men departed.
Then she missed the articles and called
in Officer Bateman.
Policeman Bateman told the court that
as soon as he heard the complaint he went
to the pawnshop and found the young
men.
Judge Miller held the defendants for the
action Of the grand jury. and fixed the
bond at $500.
