great trouble with a good many gentlemen

MERELY PATRIOTIC.
Explanation of a Lawyer for Two
AnacOstia Bows,

The discharge of a firecracker on JET
ferson Street, Anacostia, yesterday, half
an hour before school time, disturbed the
serenity of Professor Selden Ely. princi-
pal of the Van Buren school, and he COM
planned to Janitor Estep, who is a special
policeman. The latter went among a
crowd of schoolboys and secured Albert
Sears and Felix Driscoll two of the pu-
pills. The professor determined to appear
against them. and accordingly they were
arraigned in the Police Court by Police
man Ryan. charged with setting off fire
works in the street The evidence showed
that only one firecracker was discharged
and that in front of the home of the
Sears boy, who lives near the school
building.
Professor Ely said: LAS 1 was sitting
at my desk l heard the explosion of a
cracker. / arose from my desk and saw
the Driscoll and Sears boy. l sent the
boys to my room. and after consultation
with the teachers determined to have
them arrested
The counsel for the boys explained that
the day was Flag Day, and the boys were
merely patriotic. He asked that no fine
be imposed.
Judge Scott, after a personal inquiry,
concluded to accept the boys personal
bands, and released them.
Mr.. Pugh represented that 1t was bad
practice to take personal bonds in such
cases. Il have other cases here and they
will expect the same leinency," remarked
the prosecuting attorney.

CHILDREN OF THE POOR.
Special Effort for Their BENEFIT by
the Salvation Army.

special effort Is to be made by the Sal
walton Army in this city to reach those
children Of the poor whose church and
Sunday-school facilities are limited, to
put it mildly. The movement will begin
this week, when a meeting will be held
on Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock, for
the especial benefit of the young folk.
Mrs. Wray. wife Of Capt. Wray. who is
in charge of the work at No. corps, at
No. $50 Pennsylvania Avenue, has had a
large and varied experience in the junior
work of the Army. and she will today be-
gin to visit among the families OF the
neglected and the otherwise sadly-condi-
toned poor with the particular purpose
to gain the consent of the parents to
their children attending the meetings.
which 1t is intended to conduct every
week. There will be special features to
interest the young at each service.
1t is declared emphatically that these
meetings are not intended for the pur-
pose of interesting the children in the
Salvation Army, particularly. but are
meant merely to give them advantages
from which they are precluded, in many
instances.

VIOLATING THE MAILS.
Arrest of a Trusted Employe ON
Serious Charge.

Serious Charge.
Daniel U. Scott, colored, was arrested
yesterday by Deputy Marshal E. L. Tur-
ner on the charge of robbing the mails.
Scott was taken before United States
Commissioner Mills and gave bond for
his appearance to answer the charge
against him.
Scott. 1t is said, has been in the en-
ployment of the United States Govern
ment since 1883 and had come to be rec
ognized as one of the most Trustworthy
of its employees. He has during late years
been employed in the Department of the
Interior and had charge of the mails.
1t was his duty to go to the city post
Office every morning and sign for the
mail for the Interior, and on its arrival
was intrusted with opening the letters
For some time past letters which con-
tanned money for employees in the De-
partment have been missed, had on ac-
count of the high regard with which Scott
was held by the executive officers of the
Interior. no suspicion ever fell on him.
Within the last few months, however
letters containing large sums of money
were missed and all investigation to find
the person guilty of the robberies failed.
1t was then decided to place the matter
in the hands of the secret service ofIicers
No one, however. suspected the deyelop-
ments which resulted yesterday in the
arrest of Scott.
During his employment In the Gov
ernment service Scott has amassed con-
siderable money and was known as a
saving, thrifty man. He kept his own
team and every day at o'clock his wife
would drive to the Department and re-
turn to their home with him.

PASSING OF A PITCHER.
Medical Authority Tells Why
Rusie's Arm Is Distressed.

ut has been my experience in my practice to
examine many athletes, and among them one or
two baseball pitchers who have since left the dia.
mond, owing to complications among the muscles
OF their forearm that were brought about through
curve pitching writes DR.. Alexander Morgan.
of New York. "In the case of a famous college
pitcher, l found that the tendons, converging at
and Joined to the fibula, had begun to curl up
where they had become detached. These tendons
perform the work Of holding the muscles fast to
the bones, and when any portion of them hap
pens to be separated from the bone itself, il
necessarily weakens the muscle involved A low
grade Inflammation sets in and the swelling adds
to the pain of displacement. II immediate rest
is not taken, SO that the tendon can re-establish
its association with the bone. the distress becomes
almost unbearable, and any additional labor adj.
ded to its work will in a short time DESTROY a
pitchers best prospects. 1t is almost as had to
overwork detached tendon as it is to fight with
a broken arm. The motions necessary to pitch a
curve ball and give it speed shock the arm vio-
iently, and there is hardly any doubt in nv
mbind that Rusie's arm is similarly affected. He
should have at least two weeks rest.
