dent occurred a few minutes before Il
o'clock last night in Convention Hall
The engineer Of the electric light plant of
the hall Joseph E. Nash, accidentally per-
rnitted his clothing to be caught in shaft
of the engine. Realizing his predicament
Nash shouted to his fireman, Henry Cross
who was the only other person in the room
at the time, to stop the engine. The I'M
fortunate man was whirled around by the
shaft several times, his head striking
against the floor and wall at each revoiu-
ton. In a few seconds the engine was
stopped, and then it was learned that all
of Nash's clothing had been torn from his
body. His nose was cut open and he had
suffered a cut under the left eye and an
other on the head. while his shoulder and
feet were crushed. The injured man was
removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where his
wounds were properly attended to.

time. He is twenty-six years of age and
unmarried At one time he was an engt-
neer on the steamer Wakefield, but has
been employed at Convention Hall for six
weeks past. His home is at S14 Sth street

He Must Have Been n Visitor.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I wish to call your attention to one ex-
ssperating way in which the great lack of
manners which at least one man in Wash
ineton DOS sesses Is manifested. Sunday
evening my escort and / boarded a 18th
street car on the avenue and secured seats.
The car having gone a few blocks was
re pidly filled with ladies, to one Of whom,
accompanied evidently by her husband, my
escort gave his seat. In a few moments
the man in the corner next said lady lett
the car. and in the twinkling of an eye the
husband settled into the vacated space,
leaving my escort to stand for the entire
journey hCme as a reward for his courtesy.

INCREASED DEATH RATE.
Brought About by the Change in the
Weather.

The severe change in the weather during
the past week-from Indian summer tenn
perature to arctic cold-was followed by an
increase in the mortality Of the city as
compared with the previous week. The
cause for this increase is general. With the
exception of the smallpox cases now under
treatment and either isolated or in quaran-
tine. there is no epidemic disease prevalent.
The slight increase in the deaths from
acute lung diseases-of which there were
nineteen-fs not above the usual average
for this season Of the year. Like influences
undoubtedly resulted in a rise in the rate
of mortality from brain and kidney dis
eases. Diphtheria and scarlet fever are at
a minimum, and the two deaths only from
the former indicate that it does not exist
the total population was 2O.S as against the
annual mean of 232, thus showing that the
health Of the city is that much better than
the general average. The total deaths were

The Capital City Club Holds an Enter
tanning Meeting,

The Capital City Club Of Amateur Jour-
nalists held its last meeting at the resi-
dence of the Misses Chandlee. Owing to
the absence of the president and vice
president, Mr.. Edwin Smith was called
upon to preside as chairman. Several new
members were enrolled, which gave evil
dence of increased interest in the club.
Many affairs relating to the organization
were discussed and several committees
formed. especially one to busy itself in
the coming campaign 1t was with much
regret that the resignation of the treas
urer, Mr.. Wilbur Underwood, was accept
ed, and Mr.. John Hall was elected In his
place.
After the business meeting a program.
both literary and musical, was prepared
for the amusement of the club. Mr.. HART
talked on the illustrations in the maya
zines, especially noting how the light ana
shade told so much. He spoke particu-
larly of the picture of Evangeline and
how it's portrayal made him have a
higher respect and admiration for the
poet. The eyes and expression Of the face
told of kindness, of love, of womanhood.
In fact, it was to him the type of true
woman.
Miss Grace Chandlee spoke on an article
about flowers, which told why certain
flowers painted by the Japanese are al
ways the same. This is due to the fact
from nature, yet all the other productions
of this same flower are copied from the
first painting, for the Japanese are very
fond of following the rules and forms of
their forefathers. In this way they con-
tinue to exaggerate their mistakes instead
of correcting them. Often this set rule
will be found in their landscapes, in which
they use as few lines as possible.
The secretary, Sarah Willard Howe, read
an original story, entitled The Pumpkin
Pie which has just been published In
western paper, and which was the prize
story of the Christmas number.
Mr.. Hopkins, member of the club, play
ed violin solo. with Miss Chandlee as
acccmpanist. Miss Ethel Armes and Miss
Penning favored the club with Rotations
which were all the more appreciated be-
cause they were called upon without any
preparation. The entire program was
thoroughly enjoyed. and all who partici-
pated received hearty applause. The even
ing closed with a conversation game
which was both amusing and pleasing.

him altogether such figure that imagina-
tion cannot fern an idea of a fury from
the pit to look more frfghtful."
Perhaps not one of those old pirates, un-
less it was Captain Kidd, was closely
identified with our early colonial history
as Blackboard All of his depredations
were committed along our coasts, where
his terrible figure would be seen. now
swooping down upon some peaceful mer-
chant coaster, now running ashore to devas-
tate some plantation or settlement: now
appearing in some seaport town to barter
or trade with the merchants or planters
with the goods that he had just been taking
from some sloop or schooner off the shore.
1t would be impossible here to recount
all of his bold and desperate adventures
along our American sea-board.
That which shall be told is how he ter
roriZad and robbed the town of Charlest ton,
in South Carolina. How he and Governor
Eden of North Carolina shared the spoilS
of the French barque laden with its then
precious freightage of sugar, how he fought
his last fight and how he left behind him
a hidden treasure that has never yet been
unearthed.
Captain Edward Teach began his pirate
life about the year 1716 sailing from the
Island Of Providence in the West Indies
with a Captain Hornigold (another notable
pirate) to the Main OF America, taking in
course of a month among other prizes a
large French and richly freighted Guinea
man bound to Martinique.
This large and powerful ship Captain
ing it 'The Queen Anne's Revenge" a
name that was to become notable along
the Atlantic coast in the two or three
years that followed.
1t is not proposed here to tell of the ad-
ventures that happened to him in all OF
that time; of how he captured vessel after
vessel; OF how he fought a famous battle
with the man-of-war Scarborough, beating
off the kings ship after an engagement
that lasted for several hours. 1t is only
needfuI to say that he joined with him a
number of other pirate crafts then sailn G
under Major Stede Bonnet, and with this
fleet fairly swept the sea, sailing away
northward until he finally suddenly ap-
peared or the bar of Charleston, South
Carolina.
1t was a bright, warm day in the early
spring time. That morning the good ship
the Royal Princess, Captain Robert Clark
commander, had set sail from Charleston
harbor for England. with number of pas
sengers OF consideration aboard Of her.
Late in the afternoon little boat came

cattlemen are Sunday school superintend-
entS, but not ALL
Standing guard at night is a dangerous
business, and Mr.. Beicher came near being
killed at it last Thursday night. He was
inside the pens and had dismounted. The
cattle were all lying down quietly. but sud-
denly one of their wild, mysterious, uI-ex-
plaina BILE impulses to rur seized upon them
without a seconds warning, and on they
came. Mr.. Belcher attempted to mount
his horse, but the animal frightened by
the noise of the cattle, threw him to the
ground
Here" shouted Bud True, AS he wheeled
his horse around, up behind me"'
There was not moment to lose. Mr.
Belcher is not as active now as ne once
was, but in a twinkling he had yaulted up
behind Bud and away they went. Ten sec
onds later the cattle dashed over the place
where Mr.. Belcher had been thrown But
for his timely rescue he would nave met
an instantaneous and inevitable death be-
meath the trampling hoofs. The man who
rides ahead of the herd and starts them to
milling has his share of the danger, too.
Doubtless the reader has read that if a man
rides ahead the leaders Will follow him and
turn when he turns. In this way the herd
is made to circle round and round and
finally to stop. The miller needs sure
footed horse and needs to hold a firm rein.
Suppose in the darkness the horse steps in
hole in the ground and goes down. For
moment he hears the wild rush behind
him, and then
Woe to the rider and woe to the steed,
That falls in front of the mad stampede.
OF course, such persistent stampedes en-
tail serious financial loss. The lumber OF
the feeding troughs here cost originally
81 100. Then, too, fences cost something.
Fifty dead cattle cost something. The
heaviest item of loss. though, consists in
the amount of flesh that is lost in the
wild rushing about the country. 1t is
timated that 30c. worth of flesh is lost from
good, large steer on every such occasion.
Altogether. the sum which the Belchers
viii have to pay for their amusement dur
ing the first week will not fan far short
of 5000.
When cattle once get running, there is
only one absolutely reliable way to make
them quit. That is to ship them to St.
Louis or Chicago and have them killed for
beef This plan has never been known to
fail, and Mr.. Belcher is now making prep
arationS to adopt it.
