Agnes Whites Onense,

little woman, whose name was given
as Agnes K White, was in Judge Kimballs
court this morning on a charge Of disorder

arrested for four years until yesterday. al
though Bailiff Kendig said she was in
court three months ago.
Agnes was considerably under the infiu-
ence of liquor yesterday afternoon. and had
her arms filled with bundles when she
reached Florida avenue and 9th street Her
bundles We're so numerous that she dropped
several of them. One of them contained a
bottle of whisky, and when Policeman
Buckley attempted to assist her she inag-
med he had her liquor. A second bottle OF
whisky. which the woman had, she threw
IN the street. The bottle smashed and the
liquor went in the slot of the electric car
tracks. Then Mrs White became noisy and
profane, and her arrest followed
She begged Judge Kirnball today to re-
lease her, saying she had a place Of en-
ployment near Rockville and she did not
want TO remain in The city during the holt

The Dog Muzzle Order.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Surely the Commissioners might delay
the muzzling order for dogs at least fort
night that owners of dogs might be able
to procure properly fitting muzZles for their
pets.
At present there are none to be bought in
the District. 1t is not practicable to keep
a dog entirely in the house for two or three
weeks and yet if the dog is given exercise
there is the risk of his being carried off III
a wagon of swapping ours and kept in the
pound until the owner can get down there
to pay the fine, bringing him back with the
very disease in mis- system which We are
most anxious to avoid. The Christmas
traffic makes it doubly difficult to procure
goods from a distance so that 1t will be at
least two or three weeks, the storekeepers
say, before the supply of muzZles in the
District will be equal to the demand.
1t seems strange to people endowed with
common sense that those in authority
should promuigate laws impossible of full
fillment.
