Electric Bells i'm the House.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-One of the char
acteristic features of the scene in the House
of Representatives passed away with the
closing days of the Fifty-third Congress
almost without notice. That is the hand
clapping to call pages that has gone through
the prosiest humdrum of Ordinary days, as
well as broken clear and sharp into the
noise and tumult of the most exciting occa-
Sions. Just at the end of the last session
a House resolution passed providing for
electric bells for every desk. The pages
will sit in the cloak room, one set for the
Republican side and another for the Demo
cratic and will be at hand quickly when a
member touches the button at his desk.
This will considerably facilitate the trans
action of business by relieving the crowd
ing about the Speakers desk. The boys
will not find SO much reason for congratu-
lation for il will take them off the floor
and deprive them of the privileges of hear
ing so fully what Is going on The Senate
will for the present go on In the old way.

AN ALEXANDRIA, IN TROUBLE
Percy Wimsatt, son of J. Samu Il Win,
satt of this city, has been arrested in
Washington on the charge of alb iucting
Irene Robertson, fourteen-year-old
school girl Of that city. The facts upon
which the arrest is based are that she
left Colonial Beach on the steamer
Richmond on the Fourth of July to re-
turn TO Washington. She net Wlmsatt
on the boat and renewed an acqualnt-
ance with him which her relatives
think got her into trouble on previous
occasion. Instead of returning 70 hef
friends in Washington as her SISTER,
Mrs. Rockwell, had undersioon sIe
would when she left Colonial beach,
she went to her sister, Mrs. Deliiah
Johnson. wife of john Johnson, a
butcher in Georgetown, and subse-
nuentIy left there for Falls Church
where she also has relatives. Some
Zine before Christmas Miss Robertson
met Young man (oelieved to have
been Wimsatt) at dancing school IN
Washington. He was an easy talking,
wall dressed, good looking young man
and appeared to have plenty OF
money. Miss Irene, though not yet
ont of short dresses, is well developed,
mas beautiful face, dark hair, clear
blue ewes and is fine dancer. She
talks freely and is as confiding as
child of her age who has seen good
deal of the world would be expected
IN he. She and her niece were soon
well acquainted with the polished
Young gentleman. They were togeth-
.er occasionally at parties and places OF
entertainment. One day he invited
them to 60 over to Baltimore with him.
They understood that he was an cleo
trician and could get passes on q steam
boat over there, which he was fitting
with electric lights, and they would
return to Washington in the early
evening. When they arrived at Balti-
mo e their companion took them to the
GOAT and not long after they steamed
away, as they thought, for Washing
ton. 1t proved instead that they were
on the way to Philadelphia. When
the girls got some intimation of this
from talk with passengers, they de-
manded of their friend where they
were going and when he said "Phila.
delphia," they declared they would tell
the captain and throw themselves on
his protection. 1t was mig hit when they
arrived in Philadelphia and heprop )sed
that they go to New York with him.
which they declined to do, and finally
compelled their companion to send
them back to Washington. Wimsatt
is twenty-three years old and is mar
ried. His wife is Miss Bertha Young, of
this city, where he was born and where
he lived large part of his life. He re-
fuses to tell the whereabouts of Miss
Robertson, saying that was nobody's
concern. J. s. Wimsatt last night gave
$500 bonds for his sous appearance
this morning.
When the case was called il the pc
lice court in Washington this morning
motion to continue was made and
granted, and the matter went over till
next week.
