The Good Luck of Brakeman Sup

]. P. Hammett, a brakeman, thirty years
old. on the Pennsylvania road fell from a
car in the New Jersey avenue yards last
night and was badly hurt. His car had
been shunted into u side switch, which had
a sharp curve. He knew nothing about the
curve. and the jerk of the car caused him
to lose his balance and fall off His head
struck rail and rendered him unconscious.
Several yard brakemen went to Ham

was bleeding profuseiy. They concluded
he was dead, and tcIephoned for the coro-
ner. VINO ordered the body taken to the
m0rcrue.
On the way there two brakemen who
went along discovered signs of life. They
had the supp osed corpse conveyed to Prov
ide2cs Hospital. Soon after reaching the
hospital Eammett came 10, and under
medical treatment began to improve rapid
ly. Hammetts home is in Baltimore, with
his parents. He is unmarried, and had
been in Washington but Il little while. To-
day he is resting comfortably, and his
chances for recovery are considered good

In the rame of American women and
Womankind in ger eral, l beg TO express
the hope that such thing will not be
done. | think if this young girl could
speak she herself would say, DO moi do
it, l did only what was my duty, and
only what thousands of other girls would
have done under like circumstances. Put
your money to a better Use"
Monuments are raised to mark rare viz

like the above would be to mark wcma My
purity as a rare and exceptional thing.

circumstances, would have doEe differently

taken for granted, one of those things. like
personal cleanliness, conspicuous only by
its absence.
And again, what bearing has this case
on the sui ject of social purity? When girls
sacrifice ther honor, ii is through yielding
to great temptation-wholy foreign TO the
case Of n young girl pursued by drunken,
brutal negro. Brave, pure and true. This
il the note of praise accorded this
young girl by every one, note which
should sound sweet strain OF comfort to
her mothers heart. But let us not, as a
city, erect q monument for the world to
read, This girl died fighting for her

Listen to My Tale of Woe.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
At the request Of many sufferers I desire
to ask you If there is any redress for tired
people against the ever prevalent young
woman with piano and voice. We have
discussed lynching, surreptitious poisoning.
ETC., but can agree upon nothing definite,
except that death should be melted out to
Elvira on our block, which is on Capitol
HILL We seek advice. and to this end give
you a little synopsis of our woes:
EiVira begins the morning at about 6
o'clock with two hours of "fve-fnger
exercise" This is apparently to get up
steam. We then have "ten-fnger'' wres-
tie, interspersed with songs, for the rest
Of the morning. Ten or fifteen minutes in
PERMISSION for lunch follows, and then there
Is repetition of the morning work After
g o'clock dinner the poor suffering neigh
borhood Is tortured with the banging and
thrashng Of the wretched instrument until
10 or IL at night.
These are the simple unvarnished facts
in the case. Sleep is rendered impossible
within radius Of half block Of this
Hateful house, and often we must close the
windows to render conversation tntelligt-
lie. Hot weather seems to stimulate our
Elvira to unusual eXertiors, and she will
doubtless last all summer
L should like to hear the experiences of
sc me OF your readers regarding the Elyiras
upon their respective blocks. Do thew
grin ana bear with them, and take their
daily dose Of the "Maidens Prayer with
fortitude, or have there been mysterious
disappearance? In the case of a disap-
pearance, do the friends, if any, make a
troublesome search? Is there any remedy.
legal or other wise, for such a state of az
fairs, except violence?
By giving us judicious advice upon this
grave subject, you will greatly obi ge MANY
tormented readers. MINERVA

Our Trees and Their Preservation.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
On my way to my Office this morning
down 11th street, in front of the PaIais
Royal, l found a squad of men at work
reforming the curling. What arrested my
attention was a man with an ak cutting
through the roots Of a splendid sycamore
Glane tree, close to the trunk, perpen-
dicularly. In surprise 1 asked a man
seemingly supervising the work-who au-
thorized this cutting
Wei, l do What is the purpose of
it?' The roots in the way of the
curbing. well, very soon a new small
tree will be required-probably If not
and this continues to grow as it and its
fellows do, it will soon force your runy
curbstone out Of place. Why not adjust
your curb to the tree, and not cut the tree
