foa a Worthy Object.
For some time past there has been a
movement on the part of the Metropolitan
Association of the A. A. u. to procure in
New York city, If possible, a playground
or gymnasium for the use of school chill
dren and all those not connected with
athletic clubs. At a recent meeting of
the association President Sullivan APP
pointed the following committee on public
gymnasium nj grounds: James j.
Frawley, chairman, Thomas Kane, John
p. Boyle and John Steil. This committee
has been quietly working to perfect their
plans, and it now looks as though it
would have the backing of the North
American Gymnastic Union, one OF the
strongest -gymnastic organizations in the
world, which is of course the governing
body, and has great influence. Julius F.

Proper attention must be paid to the
brushes one uses if one values her hair.
To begin with, brushes should be kept
spotIessly clean. Have them made of
moderately stiff brist1es, not too long,
and put in singly-that is, not close to-
gether. Closely set long bristles are
very liable to assist in spelling the hair.
They are apt to split at the ends and
catch the hair as it passes through them
and break it off. Watch the brushes
closely, and when a split bristle is found
it should be removed at once.
Even gum-chewing may stand one in
good stead upon occasion, as a young
woman of Camden, Me. found during
an ascent Of Mount Battle. She wore
a short skirt and 1t caught On a broken
bit Of s~hrubbery and was torn. She
calmly took the gum she was chewing
from her mouth put the torn parts Of
the dress into place and fixed them there
with it,, Anybody who has Inadvertently
stepped upon a piece OF gum put to less
good use will have difficulty in beliving
the story.

DEATH OF ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN
Mr.. VIM. n. Berkeley, who had been
confined to mis- home for some time by
failing health, consequent upon old
age, died about seven o'clock yesterday
evening. The deceased was So years
old, having been born at Centrevllle,
Fairfax county, November %. 1914.
He came to this city when sixteen
wears old and soon afterward began
mercantile pursuits in this city, and for
a third of century his drygoods store
near the southwest corner of King and
Fairfax streets was we'll known spot.
Mr. Berkeley took no active part in the
political affairs Of this city until the
outbreak of the war, when, being an
advocate of the union, he became a
member of the City Council and Jus.
tice of the Peace. While pronounced
in his political opinions, he was not OF a
radical spirit, but was rather inclined
to be conciliatory, and had the respect
ofboth factions. In 1866, year after
the close OF the war, the late Hugh
Latham was elected Mayor OF the city,
but he was subsequently deposed by
the military authorities, the State being
out of the union, and MIR. Berkeley was
appointed to the position. In 1870 MIR.
Latham was reelected, but in 1872 he
was again superseded by Mr. Berkeley,
who defeated him in the general cleo.
ton. President Grant, after his second
Inauguration in 1878, appointed Mr..
Berkeley Postmaster OF this city, to I'LL
a vacancy caused by the death OF Post
master n. 2. Trist, and he resigned the
Office of Mayor. He remained in the
postoflicc until superseded by Mr..
Lewis Mckenzie in 1877. During the
past twenty years he had held no Of
ice, nor had he engaged in any active
business. The deceased had during
most of his life been an earnest and
consistent member of Trinity M. E.
Church. He was known to all our
people, and was respected and esteem
ed. He leaves q widow and two sons
Rev. F. P. Berkeley, of Fauquier county,
and Mr.. Harry Berkeley, of Washington.

She been allowed to continue would
doubtless have unfolded tale OF con.
siderable length. She was reminded
that case of misdemeanor was out OF

difficulty was experienced in getting the
old woman to confine her charges to
the last twelve months. She was f.
nally made to testify to occurrep ces
