The F Street Tragedy.
the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your timely editorial in Tuesdays issue
anent the recent homicide on F street will
oe 1ndorsed by all law-abiding citizens
In referring to the law which is supposed
to furnish protection to person whose life
mas been threatened, pleciIg that party
under bonds to keep the peace, The Star
believes most men hesitate to appeal to
rh1s law because Of a foolish notion that 1t
SaVOrs OF cowardtce or unmapliness. While
the observation Is quite likely correct, for
man Is moro or less a vain animal there is
another motive. which The Star has over
looked In commenting on this unfortunate
occurrence The point is just this: When a
n an has every reason to believe that his
enemy Is determined to kill him. do YOU
rh1nk he can calm his mind by the simple
process OF having his foe put under bonds
to keep the peace? In fact, this very ac-
ton might only increase the already In
hamed passions of the party SO restrained
and increase his determination to carry
out his designs
AS an assertion, not a very bold one
either, your subscriber maintains that not
one man In a hundred would trust his life
to this precar1ous protection Of peace bonds
While do not defend the breaking of the
law IN any instance. argue that the law
Hg OF concealed weapons under certain cir
cumstances
Human nature cannot be entirely sup
pressed. notwithstanding the enlightenment
and efforts at arbitration of the present
day.
OF course, this communication is intended
to make no apology for the recent homicide
for the facts in this case are yet to be de-
termined; but the observations are simply
supplementary to the reasons given by The
Star as to why men dislike to appeal to the
law placing a party under peace bonds.

The Art Loan Exhibition.

AS stated in The Star Thursday, the art
lean exhibition. which is to be held after
Easter in the old Corcoran Gallery OF Art,
will not be for the benefit of the Home for
Incurables. This is due to action on the
part of the board Of managers of the instt-
tuition, and the result will doubtless be a
considerable financial loss to the home. The
ladies of the board have issued a statement
to their friends notifying them that their
action was based solely on the fact that
the exhibition is to be open for money
making purposes on Sunday. One OF the
ladies' said today: I'VE believe that, while
there may be legitimate differences OF opln-
ion as to free Sunday opening, there ought
to be Zone On the propriety of introducing
the principles of business traffic on that
Gay. unless compelled TO do SO by great
public necessity. AS this action of the
board will deprive the home Of much-need-
ed funds to sustain the summer work, 1t is
he ped that these who sympathize with the
action of the board will largely increase
their subscriptions and gifts, though the

Points Of Difference,

While the District Commissioners, as
stated in yesterdays Star, concurred gen.
orally in the report of Captain Beach on
the subject of the extension of the lines of
the Metropolitan and Capital Traction rail-
ways into and through Columbia Heights
and Mt. Pleasant, they differed with him in
the matter Of the extension Of the lines OF
the Metropolitan company east of 14th
street. Captain Beach recommended 11th
street and New Jersey avenue. while the
Commissioners recommended, as they have
before, that the line be extended out Sher-
man avenue.
that on the west the lines Of the Capital
traction Company run to Sheridan and
10th streets, instead Of to Park street, as
recommended by Captain Beach, and thence
east to 14th street, the construction to be

Customs of Indfa,

A lecture on Caste and Customs of In
Ola" was delivered by Rev. Dr. Hira Singh
Puri of the Punjab. India, at the Western
Presbyterian Church last night before an
audience made up of prominent literary
and scientific people of the city. Prof. Nc
Gee presided and introduced Dr. Puri. The
lecturer, in most entertaining way, re-
ferred to India as a land noted the world
over for its meekness, gentleness, kindness,
modesty and wealth. He gave some en-
tightening views on caste, and said that
superstition was the most potent instru-
ment for every form Of evil which has de-
generated India and kept her back in the
progress Of nations. He laid part of this
degeneracy at the door of foreign settlers.
He said women had in the past, thousands
of years ago. been treated with every con-
sideration and led in the affairs of the ma
ton. whereas now they were regarded as
an inferior being. and no family feared a
greater calamity than the birth Of a daugh-
ter. The lecturer received hearty applause
at several stages Of his discourse, and con-
tinued evidences of appreciation when he
finished his lecture.
