MORTON CADETS, BENEFIT.
A Big Crowd Will Go to Glen Echo
Thursday Night.

A Big Crowd Will Go to Glen Echo
Thursday Night.
From the number of tickets already sold,
the indications are that an extra supply
of admission pasteboards will have to be
provided for the big testimonial benefit
to the Morton Cadets, to be held Thurs
day evening next at Glen Echo-on-the-
Potomac. The price of admission has been
fixed at twenty-five cents, but attached to
each ticket are two coupons, one good for
railroad fare from the District line to Glen
Echo and the other from Glen Echo to the
District line. This in reality makes the
price of admission only fifteen cents. The
coupons are good on all the railroads run
ming to the beautiful resort
The entertainment in the amphitheater
will probably be the finest ever attempted
of similar character. The program Will
include the Fadettes, the famous orchestra
of women from Boston: the entire Mount
Pleasant Band, Harlan and Wilkinson the
merrie monarchs of the Glen: Howard and
Leigh, the marvellous contortion:stS in their
original and entertaining sketch, the fish
erman and the frog: the Grotto trio of
Juvenile singers, Masters Walsh, Brady
and Lawrence; Lynch and Trainor the
military marvels: the cinematographe. with
scores of new views and a reproduction
of the San Antonio drill by the Morton
cadets. Quite number of other features
VIII probably be presented the arrange
mcnts for their appearance not yet being
completed.

moses Redmond r., was Saturday after
noon sent to tail hY Judge Mills for ninety
days, In default of bond of $3.50. for making
threats. and fined SO or sixty days for
malicious destruction of his fathers prop
erty. The father testified that Monday
morning last while on his way to work,
he heard his son h1aspheming. He did not
say anything 10 the boy at the time, but
While the family awere at supper in the
evening he rsproved the offender. What
followed, with the conversation between
the two. was thus related:
Moses. what fur was you disappearing
On the street this morning." was the first
inquiry.
Il want blasphemipg,' said the boy.
Now. Moses, there is no use fur you to
say that; heard you"
Moses, the old man went on to tell the
Judge, thea picked up the lighted lamp,
slammed it down on the table, and threat
ened to destroy things generally. The boy
was at once ordered out of the house, and
started TO go, but on the way stopped and
called back:
Il will hang on the gallows for you"
AS the cid man understood 1t, this meant
that Moses. jr, would kill Moses, ST., with
out further provocation, the first chance he
got.
After the boy left the father went Up
stairs and leaned out of a window to see If
ne could discover his sons whereabouts.
Mrs. Redmond, stepmother of the defend
ant, suggested that Moses would probably
throw stone at him, and advised him to
withdraw from the window. The head was
Withdrawn. but not moment too soon, for
almost instantly a stone thrown by the son
struck the window and smashed two of the
panes of glass to pieces.
The accused MADE denial of the charges,
but Judge Mills pronounced him guilty, and
punished him as above stated.

The death of Mr.. King was in a large
degree unexpected, and was due to car
buncle. He had enjoyed excellent health
during the greater part of his busy ca

put in an appearance on the upper part
of his back. The growth rapidly increased
in size, and had a telling effect on the I'M

Need of a Day Nursery.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The recent conviction of a colored woman
for the ill-treatment of a little child COM
miited to her care shows the necessity In
an intelligent community like the one in
which We reside of a public creche or day
nursery-this is the day of hard labor as
well as of elegant leisure. An asylum
wherein working women for a small sum
could place their offspring in the keeping
OF humane persons. from say in the
morning until or O'Clock In the evening.
such institutions are quite common in
France and Germany Let not the up-to-
date women of America show their remiss-
ness on this side of the Atlantic on this
much needed work of philanthropy 1t Is
cheaper to prevent crime than to punish 1t.
Let The Star open its columns for a fund.
and many of our charitable ladies' who en-
ploy women by the day will lend a hand to-
ward founding creche at the capital city.
Other cities will soon follow. These are
days OK cheap labor and hard work. as well
as elegant leisure for rich househnlders.

Several weeks ago Poundmaster Einstein
predicted that the dog tags issued this
year would exceed those of last year by at
least one thousand. and that the number of
dogs killed will be far in excess Of previous
years. This morning he said he thought
his prediction will soon be verified. Last
year more than seven thousand tags were
issued and he is confident the number this
year will be more than eight thousand.
The number Of dogs impounded last
week was the largest for any week since
the establishment OF the service, 3lS hav-
ing been killed and II remaining In pound
at the close Of the week.
This year the police are unusually active
in their warfare on unlicensed CANNES, ana

The Little WORKERS, succ....

The Sunday School Workers Band Of Cor
such M. E. Church is composed of five boys,
whose ages range from twelve to fifteen
years, and during its two years existence,
1t is said. great work has been accom-
plished. The boys are assisted in ell their
undertakings by a number of girls of cor
responding ages. The children banded
themselves together voluntarily, with the
idea of raising funds for church purposes,
and their jealous efforts merit the praise Of
all.
Recently. the band held its second annual
fair, which proved a great success. There
was quite large gathering each evening
and on the fifth, and last, the sum of $40,
all clear, was realized.
The Sunday school rooms, in WHICH the
fair was held. were handsomely decorated
and everywhere waved the stars and
stripes, holding a prominent place among
the flags of all nations" But the most
pleasing picture Of all was that of the
charming little ladies and polite little gen.
tlemen doing the honors of the occasion.

Winfield Sakers. who keeps small gro
Gerry store in Hyattsville, at an early hour
yesterday morning went to his stable in
the rear of the Presbyterian Church for
the purpose of feeding his horse. He was
surprised to find a colored woman, without
a shred of clothing upon her, seated In his
buggy.
The woman was crying and wringing her
hands as If in great trouble.
Sakers learned from her that her name
was Mary Little, and that she had been in
the employ of Mrs. Spencer on Pike ave-
nue. She said that Saturday night about
II o'clock, while returning from visit to
some friends. she was attacked by two col
ored men, who carried her to the shed,
tore off her clothing and assaulted her. She
cried repeatedly for help, but one of the
men held his hand over her mouth SO that
she could not be heard.
The woman could give no definite de-
scription of her assailants, and though the
authorities are at work upon the case, they
have very little hopes of fixing the offense
upon any ore.
