. WILDE LOOKS HAGGARD.
Evidently Appreciates the Gravity of
His Situation

Evidently Appreciates the Gravity of
His SituntfOn.~
LONDON, April 11.-Great crowds Of peo-
pie were gathered outside and inside the
Bow street police court today. when Oscar
Wilde and Alfred Taylor were brought
from the prison at an early hour in order
to be examined on remand on the charge
of having committed serious misdemeanors.
The court opened at IL o'clock, with both
prisoners in the dock Wilde looked hag-
gard and worn, and it was noticed that he
has greatly changed since he appeared on
the witness stand of the Old Bailey to
prosecute his suit for libel against the
Marquis of Queensberry, the collapse of
which action in such an unexpected and
sensational manner led to his arrest and
the subsequent terrible disclosures. Wilde
today was much more subdued. although
he smiled once or twice at certain Ques
ed to realize the gravity of the situation in
which he found himself. He was dressed
as faultlessly as ever. carrying a shining
silk hat in his hand. and displaying on his
ungloved fingers many sparkling gems.
Taylor, Wildes- fellow prisoner the man
who is charged with having acted as agent
for the author and dramatist, behaved in
the same sneeringly Indifferent M lner as
when arraigned last week. and was evil
IDENTIFY not as deeply impressed with the
seriousness of the charges brought against
him as was Wilde.
Sir Edward Clarke again appeared, for
Wilde, and two lawyers acted as counsel
for Taylor.
Delayed the PrOceedinRs.
The prisoners are evidently making a
desperate fight. Their lawyers today de-
layed the proceedings in every possible
way. and the examination of the accused
promises to be a protracted affair." Tay-
lor's lawyers said that he would recall all
of the witnesses who were examined on
Saturday last, as Taylor was not repre-
sented by counsel upon that occasion.
Charles Parker the nineteen-year-o old
witness who was examined on Saturday
last, and who related at length on the
stand, giving the most minute details his
intimacy with Wilde, was again placed in
the witness box today. He was subjected
to cross s-eXamination by Sir Edward Clarke
but his testimony was not shaken.
The ether witnesses of Saturday were not
present, but, by consent of counsel for the
prosecution, who promised to produce them
later, the proceedings were continued, and

Of the officers Kidwelrs temper became
pitched to white heat He swore that
step taken over his doorsill would result in
the manufacture of official mincemeat. To
illustrate his threat he fourished two
razors, while a revolver was near at hand.
The officers. though averse to being
carved, moved in. Caution preceded them
and strategy went. too. A capture of the
man followed. His revolver and two razors
went along to the station with him.
Coal Arrivals.
Five thousand tons of coal were shipped
from Cumberland to Williamsport during
the last week in March. This is a record
breaker for that particular period.
Georgetown's receipts by way of the canal
since the opening have been unusually
heavy. There is tremendous hustle among
boatmen and coal shippers.
This season promises to be banner one
fer the canal.
General Manager G. L. Nicolson of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal has been elect
ed to fill vacancy on the Georgetown
Gas Light Company's board.
School Affair.
The Fillmore school teachers are ar
ranging an entertainment, to be participat-
ed in by their pupils, that will be replete
with pleasing features. There will be a
Gypsy Cantata,'' dumbbell drill and wand
drill, fancy dances. musical selections and
an array of sunfiowers." The date of the
affair has been fixed as the 18th instant
and the place Linthicum Hall. Parents are
exhibiting a very material interest in the
approaching event.
Notes.
DR.. Harry Warfield Howell, son of the
rector of Grace Church here, has returned
to his home after the completion Of his
medical studies and hospital experience.
James Douglass. accused of stealing a
shotgun from Canal Boatman George Null
gan, was at the station last night.
Tony Walker was run over last night at
the corner of Potomac and NJ streets by
a horse and carriage driven by some un-
known party. The man received such pain
full injuries that he had to be conveyed to
his home.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS Dis trict Commissioner Powell elected
to address me through your columns,
may properly reply through the same chan
mel. The matter in the Financial Review,
criticised by him, was part of long edl-
torial seeking to show how the harmonious
support of all classes of our citizens might
be secure at the next Congress in support
of the sewer and bond bill. Three general
propositions were discussed, and the con-
text clearly shows that the third was IN
tended to present, and did present, simply
the idea that the moral support of the gen
eral body of the community could be best
secured by giving greater publicity TO the
details of the proposed sewer and street
extensions. Neither improper motives nor
actions were attributed TO the District
Commissioners, nor we've they intended TO
be attributed.
The avowed object was to produce har-
monious action on all parts. The thought
was only that the most liberal opportuni-
ties to individuals, or to committees or to
chance callers, to inspect map hung upon
wall in the Commissioners board room
or similar limited methods of publication,
were not sufficient notice to so inform the
great body of our taxpayers as to enlist
their intelligent cooperation and moral
support. While exercising, and intending
to exercise, a full right to commend or to
criticise the official conduct of our Com
missioners, as, in my opinion, facts may
justify, the Financial Review has never
Intentionally reflected upon their personal
or private acts or motives.
Major Powell makes it clear, however, in
his interview" that the material point of
difference between him and myself is that
he believes his duty to be exhausted in
giving to 1.-The public the utmost freedom
to examine the maps hanging up
in the board room,'' which view he clenches
by asking, isn't that publicity enough?"
l believe, on the contrary, that where
300, 600 people are asked to assume an in
debtedness of $7,O00,0OO, publication 20 that
entire community by hanging map upon
the wall of a room closed entirely to the
public on one secular day of each week,
and on at least three hours of every other
secular day, and not in general sense
open to the public at all other times, is
just about as up-to-date a performance as
would be notice of a foreclosure sale by the
old-time way of posting on the court house
door. The major, refusing expressly in
bis published interview to give the COM
pleted maps to The Star for publication,
stands inside the public square and rings
a bell. 1 would publish facts, figures and
maps broadcast through the public press.

Witnesses explained that the boy was

office and took the revolver from the desk.
why did you take this revolver" Judge
Miller asked him.
Il don't know he answered.
you evidently wanted to play some ro-
mantle game on your bicycle with the
pistol" said the judge. You wanted to
pose as a bandit. Your head is full of
everything but work, and you probably
thought you were having some fun"
'And he's still having his fun" remarked
Mr.. Mullowny. He is giving the Jail Off
cials lots of trouble by yelling and whist

Judge Miller told the prisoner that he
was too dangerous to be at large, and fined
him $50 or sixty days.
The charge of shooting the girl will be
tried when the latter is able to appear.
The bullet is still in her leg, and she will
in all probability be confined to her bed for

Miss Alice Sampson, the daughter Of
Thomas Sampson, dealer in milk at 1908
New York avenue northwest, was married
yesterday afternoon to .Chastine Mason,
the incident being of more than passing
interest because of the opposition to the
match on the part of tine parents of the
bride. Miss Alice was the eldest of three
daughters and was engaged in business
with her father. Mason until last July was
in the employ of Mr.. Sampson as a driver,
but was disc harged because of the atten-
ton he paid to Miss Alice. The couple cor
responded, however, and yesterday quietly
proceeded to the residence Of Rev. l. w.
Canter, pastor of Mount Vernon Place NJ
E. Church, and were Joined in wedlock,
although Mr.. Sampson did all in his power
to prevent the marriage. 1t is understood
that Mr.. and Mrs. Mason have gone to
the home of the former, in Orange county,
Va
Mr. Sampson expresses the belief that
Mason has negro blood in his veins, and
declares that he will never forgive the
young people for their act. 1t is denied,
however, that Mason has any colored blood.
He is a nephew of the army sergeant who
gained some notoriety by attempting to
shoot Guiteau, the murderer of President
Garfield.
