LOWER COURT SUSTAINED,
Court of Appeals Delivers Opinion in
a Local Contention

In addition to those reported yesterday
In The Star, the Court of Appeals, late
yesterday afternoon, handed down an opin-
len in the case of the Fidelity and Deposit
Company against Samuel L. Beck. The Or
der OF the lower court was affirmed
The matter at issue was an appeal from
an order passed by Judge Cox of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. quashing an applica-
ton for writ of certiorar from the court
of Justice Of the Peace Church, made on
the alleged ground that the justice of the
peace had preceded without jurisdiction
in the case on trial before him.
In the opnion the Court Of Appeals took
occasion to remark: But whether that
jurisdiction was judiciously and impartially
exercised is different question. Sharp
and technical points in procedure before
Justices of the peace are not to be COM
mended, and wherever it is apparent that
they have been resorted to as means to
accomplish an end they always tend to ex-
cite suspicion of the want of fairness of the
result attained"

Insulting School Girlx.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There has been some complaint lately
about men insulting school girls on their
way to and from school. One of these mis-
creants-not a tramp but well-dressed
man-headed off two school girls twice on
their way to school one day last week in
the northwest section and insulted them
They ran as if for their lives. If these lines
should meet the eye of this creature, or OF
any who know him, it would be well for
him to understand that he is being hunted
up, and that there are a variety of ways
of dealin with mad dogs and beings of his
kind. c.

women both married, who were employed
in the colored patients dining rooms at

tered against each

Satisfied that systematic stealing from the
asylum was going on the plan was per-
fected which led to the capture of the cul-
prits.

lum force. both in citizens clothes. were
present at the gate house. the entrance

Not a Low but n Small Politician.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the Edltor oe The Evening Star:
AS bad as was the alleged diplomatic
break of Minister Dupuy de Lone in the
letter to Editor Canalejas, the translator
has made one paragraph appear much more
offensive than it is in the original This is
In the most vital (or more properly speak
ing, the most fataD point of the letter,
wherein Senior de LONE is made to refer to
President Mckinley as a low politician"
The Spanish word used is "poiticastro,"
which means small politician" The old
English equivalent, now obsolete, was
''politicaster," word of the same form as
"pcetaster," meaning small or insignift-
cant poet. 1t is true, the Spanish word
'poiiticastro" implies contempt, but to
translate it as low politician Is violent
distortion of its true meaning, as it does
not convey impression of underhanded
methods or baseness of any kind
We are told that even the devil should
have his due. If guilty, the decree which
made Lord Sackville-West skedaddle east
ought to be applied to the writer in this
case, but the letter is bad enough without
attributing to its author an insult to the
President of the United States which he
evidently did not intend to utter.

Retail Sale of Wood.

Reporting on an inquiry of Mr.. " Baldwin
Johnson, which was referred to him by
the District Commissioners, the attorney
for the District states that, in his opinion,
there is no law here regulating the retail

quires that wood brought to the city for
sale shall be measured: but a Subsequent
act OF the legislative assembly. creating the
Office of measurer of wood, relates oniy to
wood brought to the District for sale and
