CLARK WAS CONVICTED.
Attempted to Assault His Youthful
SfAter.fE-LaW.

Sfster-fE-Law.
Joseph Clark was sentenced to nine years
in the state penitentiaIy at Richmond in
the corporation court at Alexandria this
morning for attempting to rape little Ada
Clark, his wife's sister. There was a large
crowd in the court room when court was
opened. Clark was represented by Samuel
g. Brent. When the prisoner was brought
In and put in the dock he took Bible out
OF mis- pocket and read it through the trial
Ihe trial began at II o'clock, and a plea
OF not guilty was entered. Little Ada told
the same straightforward story she told
In the mayors court, and repeated before
the special grand jury. She said that Mrs.
Clark, mother of the accused. had made her
go to n. kemper, notary public. and make
the affidavit. Several other witnesses were
put On the stand, and their testimony was
substantially the same as already published
in The Star.
1t will be remembered that Clark on the
night of January rs called at the house
where Ada lives, and asked her to come to
MS nome where his wife cher sister, was
very sick and wanted her. At first the
girl refused to go. and Clark left, but re-
turned shortly and repeated the request,

ADA accompanied him. When they reac ched

that the little girl was to be spirited away,

THE FAMILY BREAKFAST,
Importance of Cheerfulness and Har-
mOny at That Meal.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Breakfast, as a rule, is not social meal
This is no doubt due in part to the fact
that the majority of those who seat them
selves at the table make 10 effort to con-
tribute anything TO the cheerfulness of
the occasion. Yet the success of the day,
morally and financially. depends largely
on the stfte of mind in which one rises
from breakfast The man who. surround
er with happy faces, has eaten leisurely,
not disdaining to Ehare in the pleasant
talk going on about him. is vastly better
fortified for the day than the man who has
hurried through the meal, with perhaps
no one out the cook or the butter to bid
him good morning. or at q table encircled
with the moody faces of those whose re-
marks tend only TO stir up strife. Break
fast table chickering's will send the best
of men out among his fellows feeling sour
and churlish, and make all who come in
contact with him co-sufferers.
The breakfast room ought always to be
the cheeriest room in the house and those
who come together at the family board
should make il a religious duty to come
with cheerful faces. If outside the skies
lower and the winds howl. there is all the
more need of cheeriness within. and though
my Lady Late Hours claims that no one
ought TO be expected to be more than half
civil in the early morning, the true altruist
sweetness and light in this breaking OF
Tread with his friends. And what worthy
excuse can person who lives nationally
and is IN ordinary health have to offer
for being crusty in the morning? However
dreary the world Tay have seemed the
night tefcre, the new day rarely fails to
bring new hope and courage; and one who
has slept fairly well. and risen in time to
give due attention to those twin duties,
the morning bath and the morning devo-
tons, ouf ut surely to be able to greet
the rest of the family with a smile.
One of the essentials for a comfortable
breakfast is punctuality. and this grace is
quite as important in household where
servarts are in attendance as in one where
the housewife is the cook. There are
times. no doubt. when il is the part of
wisdom to make the meal a movable feast.
but as a rule IL is better to have a reason
able hour fixed. with the understanding
that all who are able to come to the table
are expected TO be there at tie appointed
time In this regulation exception should
OF course be made for invaiids, and Dos
s!bly for visitors.

The Wheels Blocked.

Justice, so far as the United States
branch of the Police Court is concerned,
continues impeded because Of the lack Of
a district attorney. Since Monday about
forty persons have been committed to jail
owing to their inability to furnish collateral
to secure their attendance when the court
finally resumes business. At that time it
will unquestionably be necessary to work
extra hours in order to clear out the
clogged docket. In addition to those locked
up a large number Of parties charged with

United States have furnished the necessary
surety and are at liberty, temporarily at
least.

Timothy Henderson, a well-known negro
character, is locked up at the station
house, with the charge of assault with In
tent to kill'' opposite his name on the blot
ter. This charge may possibly be changed
to that of murder, as his victim. Ellis Day,
now lies at the Alexandria Infirmary in
critical condition.
Last night at 8 o'clock Ellis Day. a
young negro man, ran into the station
house at breakneck speed and reported
to Officer Atkinson, the station keeper.
that he had just been stabbed by Tim Hen
derson. Day was quickly gotten into the
cell room, when it was found that he was
bleeding profusely from stab wound in
the right shoulder, his clothes being COM
pletely saturated with the blood. DR.. VIM.
r. Purvis was hastily summoned. but be-
fore he arrived. however, Lieut.. James
Smith had succeeded in partially stopping
the flow of blood. When the doctor ar
rived, and after examining the wound, he
decided that Day had better be taken to
the infirmary, where he could give the
wound a more thorough examination and
proper attention. 1t was found on exami
nation that the knife had fractured the
collar bone, besides severing the main ar
terry.
DIR. Purvis told a Star reporter who was
present during the examination that he
considered Days condition as extremely
critical. as 1t was one of the most serious
stabs that he had ever seen. In the mean
time several policemen had been detailed

standing in the bar room talking to the
bartender Henderson, who Is employed in
the saloon. came in and endeavored to
raise row with him. Without saying any
thing to him, however, Day says he left
the bar, and Henderson followed him.
When they reached the street Henderson

der. II then ran to the station house as
fast as 1 could" said Day, land reported
the affair to Officer Atkinson"
Henderson was seen in his cell at the
station house, but he refused to make any
statement of the affair at first but when
told by Star reporter that his victim was
sabbed him, saying that he knew nothing
of the cutting whatever. He acknowledg
ed, however, having ordered Day out of
Levin's saloon. He does not seem to real
ize the seriousness of the affair."
He was taken before Mayor Thomson
this morning, who committed him for fur
ther eXamina ton to await the result of
Days injuries.

d:uon was somewhat improved, although
