mas the following which will be en-
dorsed by every fair Minded man.
a southern newspaper announces
that negroes and white men who com
nit rape in the South are lyDched be-
cause of a we'll founded d%istrust of the
law. This is not SO. There is never
the slightest fear that a jury in the
South will fail to convict the commiter
OF rape, and in nearly all the South
cru States the penalty is death If a
southern crowd, in possession Of one
OF these unspeakbale wretches, knew
that he would be hanged the next
day II left to the law. it would still
hang him promptly to the first avail.
able limb. The reason is obvious.
Southern men will not consent that
the victim OF al outrage shall have
added to her agony of shame by hav-
ing to appear in court and recite the
details OF the crime committed against
her. The gentlemen who edit pa pers
may Wag their heads in hvpocriticai
condemnation as much as they please.
But while the South is peopled from
border to border with men whose
veins runs undefiled the blood OF
American forefathers, the wretch who
rohs a M of her honor by force
Will swing for it. And may God
speed the avenger on their righteous
always.

DIET FOR THE SICK.
Practical Method of Adding to the
Charity Fund.

Practical Method of Adding to the
Charity Fund.
For the benefit of the diet kitchen, oper-
ated under the direction of the Associated
Charities, a tent has been located at 18th
street and Columbia road, where refresh
ments are sold. The grounds are prettily
decorated, and a large sign attracts the
attention of people passing that way.
Speaking of the 'diet kitchen" Mrs.
Sarah S. Fuller, who started it in quiet
way little more than a year ago, said:
1.-The kitchen is a place where the sick
poor, who cannot get the kind Of food they
need at home, can have it furnished them
by the request of the physician, who sends
an order for it as he would send to the
druggist for medicine. Nothing is given ex-
cept it Is ordered by the attending physi-
clan.
"Since the kitchen was started at GIG B
street southeast inc thekoffice of the sixth
division, it has been continuously MAIN
tanned. Now thatit issrecognized by the
physicians who have sent for diet for their
patients as of realdbendht to the sick it is
desirable to have the hea dquarters in some
central location. and sehd from there to the
several parts of they city the diet to be dis
tributed each day. TO Help raise money for
this, and defray the sunmer expenses, the
ladies are holding 1his sale.

are many familiarn names. Mrs John M.
Johnston of Nebraska ais honorary presi-
dent, and Mrs. Eobarfs wife of the Vice
President, leads the list of patronesses.

A Benefit to Be, Given Them Mt Glen
Echo.
Arrangements are in progress for a testi-
mon1al benefit on a mammoth scale to the
Morton Cadets, in order to place the crack
drill company on a firm financial footing
The recent trip to San Antonio, Tex, for
the purpose Of participating in the inter-
state drill, put the company to an expense
of nearly $1,000. Contrary to all expecta-
tons, the command was not awarded the
first prize of 5000, but was required to
content itself with second money-$1 600
The result was an Indebtedness of several
hundred dollars. and it is the hope of the
enterprising young military organization
that its friends and the public generally
will rally generously and by thousands at
the coming testimonial.
The benefit is to be held next Thursday
evening at Glen Echo, and every effort
will be made to have the attractions so
great that the immense amphitheater will
be crowded. In addition to the regular
program of the Glen, including the accom-
plished Fadettes the grotto trio of juve-
nile singers, Robert Emmett Walsh, Paul
Brady and Horace Laws; Lynch and
Trainor, and the military marvels, the
always entertaining cInematographe, with
scores of new views, the cream of the To-
cal talent, vocal, instrumental and literary,

JUDGE DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM.
James Howard Sent to Jail for Theft
of Spoons.


of Spoons.
James Howard, who was arrested last
evening on the charge of stealing half a
dozen silver tea spoons and n berry spoon
from Leo F. Zweisser, was today sent to
Jail by Judge Mills for sixty days without
the alternative of a fine.
After the evidence for the prosecution
was closed, during which the property in
question was fully identified by Mr. Zweis-
sler as his own, Howard took the stand.
He made a statement under oath that he
had purchased the spoons said to have
been stolen in Baltimore, and tried to make
Judge Mills believe the two lots were
alike.
Pushing the lot produced by the prisoner
toward him the court stated that there
was no use for Howard to attempt to de-
ceive him.
At this point Attorney J. B. O'Neill ask
ed Howard if there had been any difficulty
between Mr.. Zweissler and himself
Evidently Howard regarded this as a
good point, for he quickly replied:

sions on the character of a relative Of

Held for Action of Grand jury

Carrie Prather, colored was today held
by Judge Mills in $500 for the action of
the grand jury to answer the charge of
stealing 800 from George Curtis. Mr.
Curtis, who is farmer residing in Prince
Georges county, Nd, and dealer in the
Washington markets, testified that yester-
day he delivered some fruit at a house
where the woman was employed, and laid
his pocket book containing the money en-
hat rack In the hall. Forgetting that
he had done SO he proceeded on his way.
out soon missed 1t, and returned to the
house. The Prather girl denied having
seen Mr. Curtis money, but Judge Mills
thought 1t was case for the grand jury,
and held the woman as stated.

WAS AN OFFENSE.
NJ. Nj. FIannery Fined for Ringing a
Train He'll.

Train BELL.
A peculiar case, involving nice point of
law, came before Justice Carr of Hyatts-
vile yesterday afternoon. 1t seems that
the evening of August 5, when the Bay
Ridge train was nearing Riverdale, some
one pulled the bell rope. Conductor ]. E..
Gary singled out M. NJ. FIal merry of River
dale as the offender, and hen the train
stopped turned him over to Detective Geo.
Browning and Constable Barr.
The charge of disorderly conduct was
preferred against Flannery, and yesterday
the state attempted to prove that the pull
ing of q bell rope on train constituted
that offense. Messrs. McDevitt and Earle,
attorneys for Flannery, commended that in
the absence of special statute the ringing
of the bell was not even"a misdemeanor,
and could not possibly constitute disorderly
conduct.
Justice Carr decided that any interference
with the duties of the railroad officials was
a species of disorderly conduct. He con-
siGered the attempt to stop a train by a
private citizen very grave offense. He
therefore fined Flannery $40 and costs

About noon yesterday a well-dressed man
wheeling a bicycle made his appearance
in Hyattsville and informed p. II. Leakin,
the agent at the depot. that he had been

his life could not be saved. He finally &C
cepted glass of brandy. and was induced
to lie down.

THREE COMING VACANCIES.
Heads Of Navy Department Bureaus
to Be Determined On.

Three naval bureau Offices become vacant
on the same day, September 3, and there is
considerable competition for the appoint
ments. The bureaus are those OF construc-
ton and repair, whose chief is now Con-
structor Hichborn; the bureau OF equip
ment. headed by Commander Chadwick
and the bureau of medicine and surgery,
presided over by DIR. Tryon. These officers
were all appointed by President Cleveland
four years ago.
1t is expected that Commodore Hchborn
will be appointed for another term of four
years. There are several aspirants for The
Office of chief of the bureau of equipment
with Commander r. ID. Bradford as the
most probable appointee. While 1t Is pos
s:ble that Surgeon General Tryon may be
reappointed, there is a strong probability
that Medical Director Bates, the Presi-
dents physician, will be placed at the head
OF the bureau of medicine and surgery.
These matters will be attended to by the
President near the end of the present
month.
