He Will Leave.

I've got money IN my pocket and I'm
not a vagrant," said a man named Charles
Thornton when arraigned in Judge KIM
balls court this morning. The man, who
only has one leg. was found making an
effort to beat his way out Of the city on

How long have you been here?" the
Judge inquired.
Several days." was his answer
Where have you been stoppingr'
Almost anywhere"
The prisoner said he had been driving a
bus at st. Augustine, Fla, all the winter
and he is now on his way home to Niagara

He had $50 in his pocket when arrested

"And what are you going to do now?"
the court asked him.

I'm ready to go to Baltimore" he an

The Belt Line.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
see the public is awakening to the fact
that the Belt line railroad is not only max
ing Of itself a monopoly, but a nuisance.
For about two months now 1t has been
disconneoting its once continuous rail line
around the city and making two roads of
itself, a practice at once unjustif1able, in
convenient and I am fully assured illegal.
1t oblIges its passengers to get of at 18th
either dust, rain or heat, with no shelter,
Theater-goers, who have heretofore patron
lied this road freely because of its all
round accommodations, are now not only
subject to this Inconvenience, but are often
made late at the thea tiers by reason of
delays and interrupted cars. More than
this, six or seven extra cars have been
taken off and the conductors discharged.
And now comes the nuisance Of havin g
the horses stalled in the street. with their
drivers yelling and sometimes cursing and
swearing q wish it were at the company
instead Of the horses, and all this in spite
of law, honesty or decency. And what
are they making by it? Certainly many
who live along the road will no longer
ride in their cars, preferrfng to go out of
their way to take other lines. And If all
were like myself every one who is able
would walk, If necessary, rather than pay
any fare to this corporation. When sum-
mer comes hundreds who have taken this
line for an outing, afternoons or evenings,
themselves and their families, will take
other lines which, at least, have equal
facilities and better accommodations.

Capturfnx Dogs.

Poundmaster Einstein is catching about
a score of dogs day. besides an occasional
cow, horse or goat, and very few of the
dogs are redeemed while nearly all the
other animals are taken out of pound by
their owners. At this season of the year
many owners Of grass-eating animals are
careless enough to allow their animals to
trespass on property of others in search OF
grass, and for this reason more of them
are impounded at this season than during
the winter. And this is just what has
caused several bitter neighborhood quarrels
recently, and has ended in the impounding
Of the animals and Police Court trials.
Speaking of the question of capturing
dogs, PoundmaSter Einstein said to a Star
reporter that he could catch more dogs in
South Washington than in any othef Sec
ton, for the reason that there are not so
many open lots across which the dogs may
run and escape. There are a number OF
alleys In this section. and when dog once
enters an alley. says the poundmaster. he
is almost certain to be captured, unless he
goes through gate or into a house, and
then, of course he cannot be pursued, as
the CANNES are taken only on public streets
and places and on vacant lots.

ASYLUM FOR REFUGEES.
Secretary Gresham Lays Down the
Doctrine for Merchant Vessels.

Doctrine for Merchant Vessels.
Secretary Gresham has laid down some
doctrine touching the rights of merchant
steamers in foreign ports to afford asylum
to refugees that may be Of great i'm
portance to commanders of vessels.
The Secretary says that while no general
rule can be laid down as a comprehensive
principle. merchant vessel In a foreign
port Is within the local jurisdiction Of the
country with respect to ohenses of Of
tenders against the laws thereof, and an
orderly demand for the surrender of a per-
son accused of crime by due process Of
law, with exhibition of a warrant Of ar
rest in the hands Of regularly accredited
officers Of the law. may not be disregarded
or resisted by the master Of the ship.
Arbitrary attempts to capture pas
senger by force may call for a disavowal
lives of innocent men and the property of
n friendly nation. Whether, II force be
threatened. the master of a vessel Is justi-
fled In putting in jeopardy, by his resist
ance. the interests confided to his care,
must be largely question for his discre-
ucn. That the passenger may have come
on board at the port where the demand is
made or at another port of the same coun-
try, is immaterial to the right of local
jurisdiction.
Secretary Gresham concludes with an
admonitien to American merchant captains
to permit the orderly operation of the law
in foreign ports on their ships and thus
avoid application for asylum of refugees
and the occasions for the exhibition of ar
bitIary force against their ships.

EDUCATIONAL CLASSES.
banquet Given Young Students of the
v. NJ. c. A.

y. NJ. c. A.
The educational classes Of the Young
Mems Christian Association were the re-
cipients Of banquet, which was rendered
to them last evening by the lady friends of
the association. The repast was later
spersed with bright, witty speeches from
both teachers and officers of the association
and music by the Y. NJ. c. A. Orchestra.
The hall was handsomely decorated with
streamers and flags and presented a gala
appearance.
The members of the classes were out in
full force and the usual era of good feeling
and fellowship which pervades every en-
tertainment given by the Y. NJ. {. A.
reigned.
After the appetites of the boys had been
somewhat appeased, Mr.. Pugh announced
that although no regular program had been
prepared the spontaneous efforts would. be
all the more enjoyed, and it proved to lbe
the case.
]. A. Graham. a former pupil of the as
ISOLATION, gave an exhibition on the type
writer, making on the first trial 1916 words
in a minute and on the second trial l65, his
work winning him hearty round Of APP
plause. He was followed by E. P. HALEY.
jr., who gave a spirited rendition OF The
Royal Bowman" being forced to respond
to an encore. Mr.. E. l.. Shepherd presented
an umbrella to the teacher In geometry, ac-
companying it with neat little speech.
Fred E. Tasker made a witty speech and
wound up his remarks by presenting Mr..
William c. Henry, the teacher Of mathe-
mates, with a handsome carving set on
behalf of his class. Mr.. Henry responded
in feeling manner. l.. c. Williamson, the
president of the Young Mems Christian
Association, spoke for a few moments on
the advantages of a good education. Mr..
w. S. Washburn was introduced by Secre-
tary Pugh, and after a few remarks COM
plimentary to the scope of the work of the
Y. NJ. c. A, he proceeded to give out the
certificates which had been prepared for
the students. Honorable mention was
made Of the following: A. ". Brown, in
mechanical drawing, he finishing the two
years course in one year; A. b. Russ and
George E. Dunton, in the same study; ].
NJ. Croft, W. r. England W. l.. Miller and
G. H. Grapp, in bookkeeping; ]. L.
Fletcher, w. l.. Miller and A. w. Bayard,
in stenography; ]. n. Fluclkey, L. V. Crit
tenden and o. c. Saum, in physics: James
c. Adkins, d. S. Moore and Il. X. Gillespie,
in English; A. w. Bayard, T. Russell Hun
gerford and j. Z. Fletcher, in typewriting.
The list of those who received certificates
has already been printed in The Star.
The boys then took matters into their
own hands and passed a unanimous vote Of
thanks to Mrs. Pugh and the ladies who
had so generously assisted her. Then they
called for Prof. Sims. He made a few re-
marks Of congratulatory nature, and
then the banquet was brought to close by
Mr.. F. w. Lang, state secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association for
Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware and the
District of Columbia.

JAPAN's NEW ACQUISITION.
The Island of FormOsa Gained by the
Late War.

From the New York World.
Formosa 1.-THE beautiful" is about ninety
miles east of the southern central part of
China, opposite the cities Of Annoy and
Swatow. 1t is separated from China by the
Formosa channel, through which the Pa
cif1c Mail steamships pass going between
Yokohama and Hong Kong. The channel is
favorite locality for the typhoon.
The island is about 24O miles long; with
an average width of about 20 miles, A
chain of mountains stretches north and
south through the middle. Many of these
mountains are volcanic.
Along the entire western coast are numer-
Gus towns, inhabited principally by Chinese,
who have emigrated from Annoy, Swallow
and other places in the province of Fokien,
under which government 1t is. The popula-
ton of Formosa is estimated at about D.
100000 by the Chinese, but that undoubted-
ly is an overestimate.
The eastern coast is almost entirely in
habited by aboriginal savages, wholly I'M
like the Chinese. They have coarse. black
halr, which is cut squarely across at the
neck. They are large. erect and resemble
North American Indians much more than
their Chinese neighbors. They still indulge
in tattoong to a great extent.
The chief city on the western coast is Ke-
lung, at the northern extremity, very i'm
portant in consequence of its coal mines
and valuable coaling station. The export
600 tons year.
Tamsin. the next city in the northern
part is on the west coast, a few miles
from the extremity at the mouth Of the
Iamsin river. Its principal article of ex-
port is tea, of which over twenty million
pounds is shipped in year.
This tea has flavor different from any
in China. 1t is very popular in the United
States, which country takes over three
quarters of it's product.
Further south, on the western coast the
next most important cities are Tiwanfoo
and Takao, from which ports the principal
articles of export are sugar. camphor, Gin
namon, pepper. drugs. etc. The finest
oranges, pneapples, grapes, cocoanuts and
tobacco are extensively grown In this To-
cality, and, together with rice, maize. in
digo. jute, hemp and many other products,
are shipped to the China coast.
The vegetation of the island is wonderful
The tree-ferns and palms are the most
beautiful in the world. The rivers and
| coast are alive with excellent fish.

Pursuing the Lottery Company.

It appears from the published diplomatic
correspondence that the United States gov
eminent has been pursuing the old Louisi-
ana Lottery Company in Honduras and u.s.
ing its best efforts to prevent the establish
ment of a lottery scheme there. A little
over a year ago Acting Secretary Adee of
the State Department addressed a letter to
the American charge in Honduras inclosing
a petition from citizens of Louisiana on the
general subject OF lotteries, and pointing
out to the Hondurean government that the
old Louisiana Lottery Company, driven
from the United States. proposed to set IT.
self up in Honduras and use that country
as a base for the dissemination Of Its cir
culars and tickets in the United States. Mr..
Adee writes that this would seem to be a
subject of which the neighboring and Of
Tended states should take notice, and there
fore brings the matter to the notice of the
government of Honduras.

COL. McCLURE's SENSATION.
He Charges the Court Trying Him for
Libel With Unfairness.

A sensation was created in common pleas
court No. 8. Philadelphia, yesterday,
when Col A. K. Mcclure, editor of
the Times. arose, and addressing Judge
Gordon, charged that he was not being
treated fairly by the court. and also
that his witnesses were being bribed. He
then requested his counsel to withdraw
from the case. Judge Gordon stated that
the court was not showing any favors and
directed the case to proceed.
The cause Of the trouble was suit for
libel brought by ex-Mayor William B.Smith
Of this city against the Times. The alleg-
ed libel consisted in two articles published
in the Times on October and October 3,
1892, in which it was charged. that Mr..
Smith owed large sums of money,had given
bogus checks and fled from the, city.
A Verdict of $4,000 for Libel.
In the libel suit of ex-Mayor William B.
Smith against Col. A. K. Mcclure, pub
Usher and editor Of the Philadelphia Times,
the jury. after being out only ten minutes
yesterday, brought in a verdict in favor Of
the plaintiff for $4,000.

Wrecked the House.

This morning about 1 o'clock Policemen
Coghill and Whalen were standing at I'd
street and Pennsylvania avenue. when they
heard cries Of murder and police" COM
ing from a house a short distance away,
and going to house No. 230 I'd street they
broke open the door and entered. The first
thing that attracted their attention was
the badly demoralized condition Of the
household effects and a number of empty
beer bottles. Joseph Graves and his wife,
Alice had been INDUCING in some Of the
liquid refreshments, and were in q condi-
ton that rendered them unmindful of the
rights Of others. While the household ef-
Jured his wife. nor had she injured him.
The officers arrested them. and they for
feited their collateral in the Police Court

THE AFFAIRS OF SCHOOL DIS
TRICT NO. ?.

The reports of the school committee and
the treasurer of the village school district
are now being printed at The Phoenix Job
printing office and will be ready for dis
tributiOn tomorrow. The committee state !:
During this year We have tried TO eXer-
else wise economy and have spent only
such sums as seemed actually necessary.
Many things that were desirable we have
RETAINED from purchasing, when they did
not seem actually necessary. Yet we have
only reduced the floating debt by about
500. (Since the treasurers account was
made up about 500 has been received
from the state school taxi We now have
all buildings slated and they are all in good
repair so that apparently very little will
have TO be expended upon them during the
coming year. Ii ii We're possible to keep
your other expenditures within the same
limits as during the past year, this floating
debt might be paid without any increase
of the tax rate. However, an act of the
last legislature provided for free text books
and appliances in all the public schools.
In compliance with this law il will require
the expenditure of some $500 or $1,000:
this sum will be saved to the patrons of
the school, as they will not have to pur-
chase the school outfit for their children.
Another teacher will be required, as here
after stated, and in 1896 and each year for
the next twelve years $500 of your High
school bonds will become due. In order,
therefore, to meet these extra expenditures
and pay your floating debt, it will call for
an extra ten per cent tax. As compen-
sation for all this expenditure you have in
all your grades of school as good work and
as excellent results as in any similar schools
in, ha Il
lence is not made at random, but is made
by reason of a comparison of work per-
formed in different grades of our schools
with the work of the same grades in some
of the best schools in Massachusetts"
The work in the different departments
the past year is reviewed. Highly compli-
mentary mention is made of Miss Clay,
the retiring teacher Of the Chase street
primary, and of Miss Wart of the eighth
grade, who has also resigned. As whole
the work in the nine grades has never been
equal to that accomplished this year. Mod
ern education and the grade system are
subjects which are thoughtfully treated.
The resignation of Principal Horne, the
engagement of Mr.. Beverage as his sue
cessor, Miss Emerson's resignation and the
decoration of the school room are subjects
relating to the High school which are
touched upon.
From the closing paragraph of the re-
port: "To the future our faces are set with
high purposes and determination to win
the best education possible for the boys and
girls of Brattleboro. The progress has
been made and results achieved only by
your committee having a policy accord
ing TO which they have striyen to advance,
and by which they have been governed.
And this must continue to be the case if
higher and better things are to be attained"
