Dangerous Habits.
tor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
One can but be amazed at the reckless
ness of persons in getting in the way of
cable and electric cars Scarcely a day
passes that one or more serious accidents
do not occur from this cause. The drivers
of vehicles bicyclists and pedestrians con-
stantly attempt to cross the tracks in
front of the moving cars, when if they
would but wait a few seconds only or cross
in rear all sucn danger would be avoided.
Not only this, but people stand so close
to the track as to be struck and knocked
down!
In this correction I suggest also that
the police should keep the street, especially
at 7th and the avenue, clear of the large
number of idle negro boys who congregate
there as they obstruct the passage Of
others and of vehicles at that dangerous
crossing.
Another fact that strikes me as bad
manners, to say the least. is that nearly
every person who first occupies scat in
car plants himself at the end, thereby
later, especially ladies' and children, who
find it difficult enough at best to get On
the summer cars of the Metropolitan line,
because of the very high step.
If those who enter first would occupy
the middle portion Of the sea all this would
be avoided.
This same want of attention to the con-
venience of others is exhibited also by
those who stand in the middle of the side
walk to converse often blocking the pas
simply from thoughtlessness that this is
done. but it is nevertheless a bad habit,
and Is, to say the least, an evidence of
| a want of that politehess- and spirit of ac-
| truly cultivated and welhbred PEOPLE.

Position of the SeabOarsl.

The position taken by all the other lines
involved in the restoration OF rates is
well known, but that of the Seaboard is not
SO clearly understood, and prominent
official Of the latter who was asked to
state how the Seaboard regarded the mat
ter said:
The restoration of all rates from Nor
folk and Portsmouth to the south has no
significance further than that We fol-
lowing the same policy which We pursued
when the Injunction order of Judge Simon
ton was issued. We are thus showing 10
Judge Speer in this case our entire good
faith in connection with his order, and
the desire of the Seaboard Air Line TO be
considered under all circumstances law
abiding corporation.
las we We're forced by Judge Speer's Or
der to restore rates in the state of Georgia
We felt IL only right to apply the same
rule to or customers in all the other sta,es
through which We operate. Our policy has
been not to discriminate for or against any
person or locality favoring Is with bus
mess. In all our reductions We have taken
care that all points should be equally
benefited. In reducing rates the third and
fourth clauses of the act to- regulate COM
merce have been absolutely complied with
and when reduced rates 10 Attain we
also brought intermediate points in line.
Merchants in northern cities whose ira lie
Is with the south are anticipating an i'm
mediate rush of orders for goods TO be
shipped before the date named for the
restoration of rates by the Southern
States Freight Association, which Is the
2Sth instant.

Want Juntfce. Not Charity.

The usual Sunday afternoon meeting was
held by local single takers yesterday af-
ternoon near the Rawlirs monument, on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue and resolutions were
adopted declaring that justice and charity
are incompatible. THAT, if given justice,
labor-the creator of all wealth-need not
ask charity of the non-producers. That, If
exerted in behalf of justice. the noble ef-
forts now wasted on charity would be a
thousandfold more beneficial to the human
race. That supplanting justice by charity,
equal freedom by special privilege, and uni
versal liberty by grasping monopoly caus-
ed our social ills, which will vanish only
through removal of these fundamental
wrongs"

Assaulted His Sweetheart.

William, alias Tobe, Parker, colored, was
sentenced by Judge Miller this afternoon
to eleven months and twenty-nine days in
jail for assaulting his sweetheart, Nellie
Hawkins. Parker treated Nellie In an
exceedingly brutal manner, and in im-
posing sentence the court took occasion
to speak Of the crying need Of a whipping
post as a punishment for such offenders.
A case with circumstances of d similar
nature was that against Charles Whitley,
also colored. Whitley went TO the house
of Margaret Ruffin Saturday night and
made himself obnoxious. Among other
things he threw a china bowl at Mar
garet The decree of the court was six
months in jail.

Te!cm-que I. Timaynis. whose literary
nom de plume is Edouard Dousard, and
who VAS arrested Saturday on the COM
Paint of SolcL J. Vlasto of the New York
Atlantis, the only Greek newspaper in
the country, who charged Mr.. Timayns
with sending obscene letter to him
through the mails, was held for the ac-
ton of the grand jury by United States
Commissioner Mills in the sum of $3.50
MIR. Whitman Ossood becoming his surety
As stated in The Star, the accused ad-
Hlitteti writing and mailing the alleged un-
lawful letter, but contending that a true
translation of its contents would d:sprove
the charge that IL IS an obscene one. After
hearing the testimony of experts Com
missioner Mills held that prima facie
case had been made out against Mr.. Ii
maynis, and required him to give bail to
await the action of the grand jury.

MIR. GRADY HURT.
He Was Unable to Respond to a
Serenade.

Serena0e.
During the storm Saturday the banner
suspended across Pennsylvania avenue by
the Central Democratic Club was blown
down, or rather so damaged that 1t was
taken down. The injury done is being re-
paired, and 1t is expected that the banner
will again be displayed today.
AS the weather Saturday deprived the au-
dience at Capitol Park Of the pleasure OF
hearing Mr.. Grady. number of those who
were desirous to have the opportunity to
listen to his eloquer1ce marched to the Met
ropolitan Hotel, preceded by band, and
rendered him serenade. 1t seems, how
ever, that Mr.. Grady had received an in
jury in one leg, due to kick from horse
ridden by a policeman, and so he did not
feel able to respond, which was a source
of disappointment to all concerned
AS Mr. Bryan has an engagement to

w. Va, he will, it is expected, pass through
this city on the evening Of the 18th, but he

Referred to the Coinage Laws.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

I most respectfully refer Mr.. Arthur s.
Browne to the Senate committee on finance
for the correction of any errors he NAV
think he has discovered in the figures
quoted in my note to The Star from pages
114-5 Of ''The Coinage Laws of the United
States. 1902 to 1894, with an Appendix of
Statistics Relating to Coins and Currency.
Fourth edition; revised and corrected to
August l, 1904; prepared under the direction
of the committee of finance, United States
Senate, March 3. 1894; submitted by Mr.
Voorhees, from the committee, and ordered
to be printed. Washington: Government
Printing Office. 1894"
But I must also express my satisfaction
to Mr.. Brown that he has discovered that
the coinage has exceeded the production
This reminds me Of Mr.. Evarts' reply to the
question whether he believed that General
Washington had thrown silver dollar
across the Potomac at Mt. Vernon. Mr..
Evarts thought lit probable because, you
know. silver went farther in those days
than now.' N. T.

Conductor Griffin Hit With His Fist

William f. Mills, the coach painter who
was knocked down at the corner of 18th
and F streets Friday night by a blow of
the fist struck by Conductor G. NJ. Griffin,
is still in a critical and dangerous condi-
ton. 4 fracture at the base of the skull,
indicated by the flow of blood from the
ear, seems TO be the vital injury. 1t is
where the surgeons cannot examine it,
He has been rational until yesterday he
went into convulsions.
Griffin will be held until it is known to
what extent Mills is hurt. Griffin admits
striking him q blow with his fist, but says
he only struck because he thought Mills
was about to attack him.

A TRUCE is LIKELY
Railroad Hostilities May Be Temporarily
Suspended.
Expected Effect of the Injunction
fer the Hearing Of the Case.

There is a growing impression in railway
circles and among business men that the
action Friday of Judge Hughes of the
United States circuit court of Virginia en-
joining the Atlantic Coast Line from carry
ing out its reduced tariff of rates, together
with that of Judge Speer Of Georgia of
a few days before, will cause a cessation of
hostilities between the lines of the South
ern Freight Association and the Seaboard
for month at least-the hearing of the
first named case being set by the court for
October 20. When, however, Judge Speer
will hear argument on the case before him
is not known, the latter has not yet
named day upon which to take up the
matter.
There are, however, many well-informed
persons who say they believe there will
not be a final adjustm of the questions
involved until there is a decision by the
Supreme Court In the matter, and that
this cannot be had for several years.
Fnr-Reaching Effects.
The far-reaching effects of Judge Speer's
decision can be estimated when it is taken
into consideration that the roads and
steamship lines involved are: Alabama
Great Southern, Southern. Alabama Mid
land, Brunswick and Western. Charleston
and Savannah, Savannah, Florida and
