ARABELLA AND ARAMINTA

Miss Gertrude Smiths Stories Presented to
the Friday Morning Ciwb
Miss Gertrude Smith. author OF the
charming series Of tales for children,
The Arabella and Araminta Stories, was
present at the meeting Of the Friday
Morning club yesterday, and read
number Of extracts from the book.
A discussion as to the most suitable
and appreciated reading for tiny folks
followed, in which it was the general
expression that Miss Smiths stories had
proved the most fascinating reading OF
the day. Miss Todd, q clever kinder
gartner, opened the discussion in q short
address bearing psychologically on the
amount of power very small children
possessed to comprehend what was read
to them. She mentioned many beautiful
stories, simply written, that ostensibly
possessed all the attributes for engag-
ing the interest of little children. yet
failed to attract them. In the Arabella
and Araminta stories, Miss Todd said,
the wee children Of the kindergarten
simply reveled; the repeated demand for
them having become SO clamorous they
had to be withdrawn.
Mrs. Fred Fay also read q paper on
juvenile literature that was full OF inter-

DISPLAYS for the Chamber

The donations to the chamber Of COM
merle were confined to sample of the
citron of commerce from D. d. Johnson,
Norwalk; lot of pretty cut flowers sent
in by Mrs. o. w. Childs and flowers from
the state school at Whittier.
AS for the rest the chamber was al
most deserted today, all hands being oc-
cupied in some manner in the popular
demonstration made in honor of Senator
White. Mrs. Virgins remained to look
after matters at the chamber, and as
the public were mostly occupied in the
fitting business of paying honor to the
great Senator few were about the cham
ber. Mrs. Virgins attention was
mainly directed to herding the turtles,
which, made very much alive by the
extreme heat of the day, and seeming to
have the desire to welcome "our Steve,'
were all day making frantic efforts to
get down stairs.

HAS A PISHY LOOK
Contents Of Note Found In Bottle Floating
In Westlake

While fishing at Westlake park with
a companion yesterday morning Louis
Atkinson of No. 1916 Bryant avenue
found that he needed a cork as a float
for his line. Seeing bottle bobbing
about in the water he picked it up to
secure the stopper. To his surprise the
glass inclosed note which read as fol-
lows:
ITO our friends: When you find this
you will know we are both at the bot
tom of the lake and have passed in our
checks. Remember us to our friends.
BERT CRAWFORD,
CHARLES THORNTON"
Who the parties are who signed their
names to the message is not known. and
it is the opinion of the police that the
note was put into the bottle and thrown
into the lake as hoax. The paper on
which it was written was stained and
worn as though 1t had been carried in
a pocket for some time. No date was
affixed and it is undoubtedly the product
of the small brains of some fool who
thought thereby to create sensation.

krauss Violin Recital

Arnold Krauss, one Of the local virtu-
osos of the violin, gave a very enjoyable
recital at the Blanchard -Fitzgerald
music hall last night. Mr.. Krauss was
in fine form and his artistic efforts met
with high approval from somewhat
sparse audience; the brilliance Of his
execution and the fullness Of the tone
were especially noticeable in his render
ing of Hubay's Fantasie on Carmen.
AS an encore he gave the never tiresome
but almost inevitable Cavatina by Raft
Mr.. Krauss found faithful and sympa-
thetic accompaniste in Miss Blanche

A LIVELY RUNAWAY
naddened Horses Stopped In Their Career by
Telegraph Pole

An exciting runaway occurred on Los
Angeles street last evening shortly af-
ter Z o'clock. At that hour pair of
horses attached to O. heavy dirt wagon
came plunging along from the direction
of Third street. driverless and mad with
fear. Down as far as Sixth street they
ran, but attempted to turn down the
latter thoroughfare. AS they swung
around the corner they ran onto the
sidewalk and into q telegraph pole.
One horse went on one side and one
on the other, the pole Of the wagon
striking fair in the center Of the post.
The runaway was effectually stopped,
with no further damage than a splint-
cred tongue. Where 1t struck the tel
egraph pole the tongue penetrated to the
depth Of three inches, showing the ter
rifle force and speed at which the mad
dened animals were travelling.

Fast Time Has Been Impossible Thus

Out at Benning very little remains to be

ing to the Washington correspondent of the

AS to material for the racing, there are
enough horses now at the track, or quar-
tered in the neighborhood, to make big
fields for the entire meeting, but the bad
weather has made it difficult to get the
right sort Of preparations, and there is
hardly horse that is as fit as he should
be.
Rumors of fast work have been sent
broadcast for couple of weeks back, but
they have been greatly exaggerated The
best that has been done at the track is
mile in 1.52A. John McCafferty holds first
position with the two-year-olds, three of his
string showing five furlongs in 1.061a.
MIR. Belmont's lot are Quartered in a new

THE BOAT RACE PROBLEM.

NO Truth In the Report That the Sara
togn Course Had Been Selected.
The story emanating from Boston that
the Saratoga course had been definitely
chosen for the four-cornered boat race is
denied by the rowing authorities of the
University Of Pennsylvania.
AT the receat meeting of the regatta COM
mittee In New York, although no vote was
taken, canvass showed that Pennsylva-
MA, Harvard and Cornell were favorable to
Saratoga and that Columbia stubbornly held
cut for Poughkeepsie. 1t was agreed that
If Columbia could make arrangements to
Rave the river kept entirely clear of excur-
sion boats. the other colleges would vote for
Poughkeepsie instead of Saratoga. Ac-
ccrdingly the Columbia authorities had Sen
ator Hill introduce bill in Congress pro-
vid.ng that United States revenue cutters
should afford protection to spectators and
contestants at resattas ard college boat
races. No action has as yet been taken by
Congress on this bill. If passed, Pough-
keepsie will undoubtedly get the big race,
otherwise the contest will go to Saratoga
1t is likely that another meeting Of the
representatives from the four colleges will
be held at New York Saturday night.

the L. A. W., through the chairman of its
racing board, George D. Gideon, in sane
tioning bicycle races run in connection with

1t has been customary for the Amateur

The Bicycle Question Once More,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
You get some extraordinary suggestions
regarding the bicycle One chivalrous cor
respondent suggested that there should be
no pedestrians in the street or cross a
street ct other than intersections; also that
the people should not be allowed to stand
in the street while getting on the cars The
bicyclists seem through politics and other
influences inclined to run the world. In
New York state they have defeated in the
legislature an act compelling them to use
brakes. Here many of them are inclined
to oppose getting bells because they will
cost $30, OOO-not for one man probably, but
as at least 10000 bicyclists would divide
the sum it cannot be onerous. There will
never be any safety or relief from the con-
slant anxiety of those who are compelled
to use the streets until every bicycle is
licensed. A scorcher may run down an old
lady. but he never stops to pick her up.
as you will see in the record Of every ac-
cident; he is a coward. He mounts his BIZ
cycle and is out Of sight in moment Ber-
lin Is far and away ahead Of Washington in
protection of life. An application to use
the streets by bicyclist submits him to a
trial In room filled with posts Until he
can evade those, he gets no license. When
he does obtain it, each one bears a con-
spicuous number, which must be carried
plainly in sight, and his license limits the
rate of speed; that he shall not be without
his feet on the pedal and his hands on the
bar, and no coasting within the city limits
II every bcyclist in Washington were to
get his license in this way and carry his
number conspicuously, If a scorcher rides by.
1t will not be necessary to chase him and en-
danger all the people by rapid pursuing; it is
enough to take his number, and his IL
cense to ride may be withdrawn or sus-
pended. If the liberty of using the streets
is restored to him, the fee should be paid
over again 1t is not only that people that
are knocked down and bruised suffer- but
there is sense Of danger hanging over
all who come to Washington to enjoy it's
good government and beauty. At 18th
street, where passengers on the cable cars
are sufficiently confused by having to cross
the tracks for their tickets, and at the
same time pestered by newsboys, who
should be confined to the curb, they are
still further ratified by bicycles, which 20
by in fiocks. The District messenger BOYS
and those who deliver kilograms are very
reckless, and really ewffen two cars are
standing to exchange passengers no b.
cycle should be permitted to &c through the
throng at that time! AT present there is
no secured safety orh comfort in the city
that IS almost Perfect I'M every other pro-
vision. 9 =. RAo
