The Methodist Home of the Aged.

Six years ago some of the Methodists of
Washington felt the necessity Of providing
for the aged and infirm of their church
suitable home, where either sex, who had
no means Of support, might find COM
Portable resting place in which to spend
their declining years. The present site of
the home, a portion of Trinidad, was Sc
cured. and after the first payments the
work was given into the care of a board of
managers, composed of eight women from
each Methodist church in the city. Most
gratifying results have attended the efforts
of these ladies. During the time they have
raised in cash for the Indebtedness and
support of the institution $15,50O and have
given tender care to twenty-three aged peo-
ple A small Indebtedness rests upon the
property, which they plan to liquidate in
the near future, and then provide more
commodious quarters. that will enable them
to receive all persons entitled to admission.
Today they celebrate the opening at
the home grounds. 18th and streets

Against the Railroad.

The case of Rupp agt the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company, which
has been on trial in Judge McComas' court
for the past four days. ended yesterday with
a verdict against the railroad for $500.
The plaintiff, a newsboy twelve years of
age, lost his left leg last June by being
run over by cable car NJ street in
Georgetown. He jumped from a going
in the opposite direction, it was claimed,
through fright occasioned by threats made
by the conductor. Messrs. W. D. Davidge
and Enoch Totten appeared for the rail-
road and Mr.. C. c. Tucker for the plaintiff

MIR. McHugh's Recollection.

FROM returns received at the headquar-
tefs In this city of the Journeymen Stone
cutters Association of North America.
there is every reason to believe that Mr..
James +. McHugh, president OF the local
Federation of Labor, who has been grand
secretary-treasurer of the Journeymen
Stonecutters Association of North Amer
lea for several years, will be reelected to
the position by a greater majority than he
tas ever yet received, The choice is made
by the various lodges of the order through
out the United States and Canada I'm their
individual meetings, and already The re-
turns show that Mr.. McHUgh is the choice
of more than majority of the lodges. The
reelection of Mr.. McHugh insures the con-
tinuance Of the headquarters OF the order
in Washington.

Clifford was, in second place, fifty yards

Sir Walter. and the people broke forth in
a pandemonlum Of cheers.

Hon. James Saffell has been dropping
Lotes Of the scores Of games in other
cities from the roof Of the Washington
grand stand long enough to know that II is
high time to have the score board in left
field washed off very soon unless he wants
the entire local ball population to be afiiict-
ed with ear-sightedness The board is
pretty far away at best, but ii seems to be
located clear out in the Soldiers Home
grounds when Saffell jr, pastes up his
pretty ciphers and marks up his straight
ones. Game after game leaves it's coating
Of chalk filmily spread over the surface
until the whole looks like an etching Of
the fmpressionist school and figures are at
terrible discount. Water is fairly cheap
nowadays. even If the aqueduct tunnel is
not finished, and few bucketsful, or even
few drops used daily on the board would
vastly improve the appearance Of things
and would spread great Joy among the
rooters. There is a trifie of discomfort
among some of the regulars that the local
score Is not included among those that are
displayed on the big board, but that is a
small hardship. 1t is useless annoyance,
however. that the scores of the other
games should not be clearly and Clearly
presented.
