Last night a man named Mastin and
giving his place of residence as Payne
county Oklahoma, was nabbed by Of
ficer Jim Antrim and thrown in the cool
er.
Mastin caused great excitement on
North Lawrence avenue and had two
families terrified for as much as an
hour.
Shortly after dark he met a student
named Miss James who halls from near
Sharon, Barber county and talked to
her only few seconds when he drew a
knife She screamed and ran into
house near the First Presbyterian
church He tried to follow her with
his knife blade glistening in the moon
light, but he was too drunk and she
escaped.
He remained on the sidewalk walking
nervously for nearly an hour with his
knife still open, muttering some inco-
herent words all the time. People
were afriad to put their heads out
doors for fear he void fire at them as
it was thought that he had a revolver
as well as a knife. Finally the man
stumbled away and when he had gone

police
Officer Antrim got on the trail of the
man and found him trying to get up a
stairway on East Douglas avenue.
Nm one seemed to know much about
Mastin in Wichita. He told a res
taurant clerk night before last that he
was a cattleman and came to Wichita
to see the sights. He had then about
$500 in his possession, but when he was
arrested last night he had very little
money. He seemed to know the young
lady he attacked but she says she does

KENDALL GREEN ATHLETICS.
Planning the Maxe-Up and Trip OF the
Base Ball Team.

For the past two months the students Of
Gallaudet College at Kendall Green have
been hard at work preparing for their
usual gymnastic exhibition, which Is to
take place on Friday evening, March 10,
in the gymnasium. Besides the regular
class work, Erd, a member of the fresh
man class and an all-round athlete, Will
lead classes in mat, horizontal bar and
parallel bar work. Howard, another good
one, we'll known to the lovers of foot ball,
will lead the line in front of the long horse,
and high jumping will be led by Price, a
young man of the Introductory class.
The committee in charge Of the affair
have done everything to make the exhibit
tion success, and large attendance will
surely witness it. Instructor Joyce, with
few of his pupils, will be an attraction.
Although the weather has not been sucn
as to permit outdoor practice, yet base
ball has not been a dead subject to the
students The candidates number about
fifteen, and the absence of Cummings and
Boxley, the battery. and First Baseman
Ryan of last years team will not be so
badly felt as was at first thought, as there
is quite good supply in the last class.
The only discouraging news from the col
lege is the dislocation of Wagner's left
arm at the shoulder. This happened while
he was at work in the gym" but he Is
expected to be able to take his place at
practice in a week or so. Price and Ros-
son will do most Of the work back of the
plates while k1ene, Seasons, Smielan and
Erd will be put in the box. Dudley, Wag-
ner and Erd, when not in the box, will be
given trials on first, second and third
bases. Price will be at short stop, and for
the outfield Capt. Brockhagen has so far
not been able to make any decisions, but
in all probability Connor will be in left
field. Womstaff in center and Capt. Brock
hagen keeps his place in right field.
Besides these there are two or three can
didates for the outfields and change may
be made at any time. Hubbard will cover
second base until Wagner is able to play
and may keep the place.
Manager Kiene has been quite busy and
has the following scheduled games:
At fome-April 10, Johns Hopkins Uni
versity: May Is. Baltimore City College;
May %, Maryland Agricultural College
Abroad-April 20, naval cadets at An
napolis; Apr.i II, Episcopal hign school, at
Alexandria; May 1, Maryland Agricultural
College, at College Park; May IL, Johns
Hopkins University, at Baltimore; May %.
Baltimore City College, at Baltimore; June
8, Western Maryland College, at West

Besides these several practice games
have been arranged with the teams of CO.

"THE PUBLIC WANTS JOYCE"
A Base Ball Correspondent on the
Local Outlook.

Washington Cor. Sporting News
I am getting nervous about Joyce; both
sides are too independent. If washington
did not need the hard-hitting captain, or if
there was any one to take his place at
third without imparing the infield at other
critical points, 1 wouldn't worry. But if
Crooks is placed at third it will weaken
short and second. and we will have to suf-
fer the same heartrendng experience at
that section of the territory which gave us
the marble heart last season.
To be candid and fair-both to joyce and
the Wagners-I think Joyce is worth $1,000.
1 understand he wants s., 100. A fair COM
promise would be the figures l name-S2, OoO
Joyce would be fool to play ball for less,
sum not to play "Scrappy" on the team
And there YOU are.
Joyce is not a star third baseman. He
has seen better days. He has glass leg
and his throwing arm is very lamp chim-
rey'' on foggy day. Yet, don't think nor
would 1 have the reader get 1t into his
head. that Joyce is out of it. Oh. no. He,
beau, Jack Boyle, Tom Brown and others
whom l could mention, who have essayed
to captain teams. Joyce is quick on the
field, and there is not batsman in the
league who has a more thorough knowledge
of the tricks of the cracker jack pitchers
than he. His experience and good eye are
worth 5000 to Washington or any other
club in the league.
think 1 know the Washington base ball
public. And I know they want Joyce A
matter of two or three hundred dollars
must not stand between the Wagners and
Joyce, unless they are content to lose
money.

The Tenleytown Railroad Sale.

From the Financial Review.
1t is understood that in the recent sale of
the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad
the purchasers bought 1,251 shares of the
capital stock for cash at $25 per share, and
took what would amount to three years
option upon 799 shares at $50, paying S.
per share down. Such option stock, whilst
held in escrow. is put in the name Of the
purchasers, with full voting power, but
with prohibition against increasing the
bonded debt upon the pro .Ity beyond
100000. The purchase thus aggregates
2,O5O shares out of the 1000 shares of the
entire capital stock. 1t is also understood
that the purchasers have secured a thirty
days option at par and accrued interest
upon the outstanding bonds of the company
100000, with the purpose Of paying off
that secured liability, and, thereafter. in
creasing the bonded debt to 100000; the
difference to be expended in putting the
property in first-class condition.

STATE HOUSE FRAUDS.

Startling Testimony Before q New
Jersey Committee.
The developments before the New Jersey
senate Investigating committee yesterday
brought to light the most disgraceful frauds
upon the state and positive proof of the
state being swindled of thousands of dol
lars.
Mr.. Corbin, counsel for the committee
said that in the past five years the state
house had been stripped in every room of
its handsome walnut furniture and cheap
oak furniture had been substituted at a
cost of $123,9O9. Many rooms had been fur
nished twice in that period and exorbitant
prices charged.
John Mullins of the firm of John Mullins
& Company of Jersey City, whose firm fur
the state house. produced his books, four of
which were mutilated by hundreds Of pages
being torn out. He testified that he did not
know how the books We're mutilated. The
police of Jersey City had suspected one of
his clerks. The mutilation took place the
night after the election in 1888 He denied
giving any commissions of any kind and
professed to having no knowledge Of his
books.
Eugene Murphy, formerly bookkeeper
for the firm, who was discharged in 1898
.'for playing the races" gave the prices on
goods bought by the firm and sold to the
double the purchase cost.
Mr. Mullins asked the witness once to
figure out the amount sold to the state for
"Barney Ford was getting impatient and
wanted his divvy."
A check was drawn for Ford the amount
being about 10 per cent of the bills He
would have to have a. missing personal
ledger to tell the exact amount Of the
check.
A dining room table and six chairs sent
to the home of ex-senator Michael Barrett,
was charged to the state; a desk and chair
valued at $11S was sent to the home Of
Leon Albeit, jr.. at Jersey City, and also
charged to the state. The state also paid
for an $1S senate chair, sent to H. NJ.
Negus of Red Bank.
These entries were taken from the firms
books.
Mr.. Mullins made statement that he
had only sent to Senator Barrett a desk
and chairs, in return for legal services.
and he did not know they were charged
to the state; neither did he know anything
about the chair sent to Red Bank.
The events of the day were highly sensa-
tional in what they disclosed. The COM
mittee adjourned to meet next Tuesday.

A Noble Woman.

From Kate Fields Washington.
Then 1 bade goodbye to an honest,
earnest woman who has given her life to
a great cause. Abuse has not curdled the
milk of human kindness flowing in her
veins. Poverty has not embittered her
generous soul. Susan B. Anthony, with
her honorable sey yenty-five years, is more
alive today than almost any woman Of my
acquaintance. Why? Because she is in
love with a noble idea. Love begets en-
thusiasm. Enthusiasm keeps soul and
