PLIGHT OF A BASHFUL MAN.
He Would Have Gone If He Could
Have Summoned Up Courage
to Ask for His Hat.

"1 always was a bashful sort of fellow
when l was young" said Ananias Fisher, as
he passed his plate for the third piece
of pie. He was dining out with friends and
wished them to understand his tempera-
ment
But I was broken of that habit before
L Was %. 1t was either a case of get over
it or stay all night, and 1 got over it" he
said, as his plate was returned with good
sized piece of pie such as Topeka house
keepers make. Il was calling, out on Fill
more street, and when | went in | forgot all
about putting my hat on the rack in the
hall, and carried it into the parlor with me-
house came in she said 'how-dye-do' and sat
her $50 pounds down on that hat.
i beg your pardon, | said.
why, what's the matter" she asked
for guess looked kind of bewildered
%, nothing L answered. L just got a
stitch IN my heart
eve went on talking, and 1 thought that
when she got up l could sneak that hat, but
she talked and talked.
1T got along to nine o'clock, and l knew
l ought to go, but l was too bashful to say
anything, so l Just waited. Then the clock
struck ten, and | knew | was staying too
long, but | could not get that hat.
" Is 1t moonlight? asked the 280pound
lady.
Il said it was, and knew she wanted me to
go, but l did not have the nerve to ask
for that Gat. Just as the clock struck II
she -blurted out: why don't you COZ
50, will if you will give me that hat
said
"'What hat?'
My hat
"'Where is it?'
"'You are sitting on it.
"'Me" and she jumped up.
There was my hat, and it looked much
sat upon, but no more than that womsn.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY.
A New Feature for Next Season Under
COnsld rnIiOn.

meeting of the concert committee of
the Choral Society was held last night at
the residence of the president. Mr.. VIM.
Bruce King. The chairman of the commit
tee, Mr. Edwin a. Hill. presided, and all
the members Were present. Messrs. II. NJ.
Paul. s Meade and Charles Louis Pollard.
beside Miss Leavitt, who acted pianist
The committee took into detailed cousid-
Grafton an interesting plan which has been
professionally agreed on for the last con-
cert of the next season. The purpose Is to
present program illustrating the historic
development of opera. Solos and choruses
will be selected, beginning with the early
Italian operate works and continuing
through such composers as Glueck, Mozart.
Beethoven and DoniZetti, and the later
writer's, not only including Wagner. but the
young Italian school of the present day.
The purpose is to secure operate soloists
of high standard to illustrate the different
schools Of operate composition and they
will be heard in concerted work with the
society. No definite agreement as to pro-
gram was reached. this will necessarily
involve the examination of very many
Works, but II seems probable that one of
the great choTuses from Nerdis Aida will
be chosen, a duet and chorous from Mo-
zart's Don Giovanni and perhaps the pray
er from Cavalleria Rusticana. -
Another meeting will be held next week
and these will be continued during the sum

Judge and Jury Made Short Work of
the Murderer.

John Alfred Brown was found guilty OF
murder by the jury at Frederick yesterday,
and Judge McSherry promptly sentenced
him to be hanged.
States Attorney Kinks of Frederick
county closed for the state. AT 3:o5 o'clock
Mr.. Kinks concluded and the case was
given to the jury with the usual brief IN
structions as to the forms of verdict. There
was a very general belief that the jury
would be unable to reach a verdict for DIT
least several hours. When they retired the
court turned Its attention to assembling
the grand jury in another case. When a
message came. few minutes after the
grand jury had retired, that the jury In
Browns case had.agreed upon a verdict. IT
was general surprise. and the court room
quickly refilled, Brown being hurriedly
brought in and seated again In the dock.
At 3:25 o'clock, just fifteen minutes after II
had retired, the jury was again seated in
court, and Foreman Sanner, in response 10
the clerks query, stood up and answered,
Guilty of murder in the first degree"
1t Is understood that two ballots were
taken in the jury room. On the first one
man voted for acquittal.
Chief Judge McSherry proceeded imme-
diately to sentence the prisoner. Brown,
who appeared to be very nervous while
Judge McSherry was speaking, was imme-
diateiy handcuffed and led out Of the court
house and over to the jail by the sheriff
and several deputies, a small crowd follow
ing.
Brown. who is much depressed by his
conviction, sticks to it that he is innocent.
and efforts to get him to confess and tell
where he hid his share of the booty were
in vain. Taylor was greatly pleased by the
news of Browns conviction.
1t is said that the governors object in
deferring the execution of Taylor until
August Is is that he anticipated the convic-
ton of Brown and desired to fix both execu-
lions on the same day, SO as to spare ex-
pense to the people of Rockville.
The murder for which Taylor and Brown
were tried and convicted occurred Satur-
day morning, May IL. Early that morning
Louis Rosenstein and his wife, Dora Ro-
senstein, We're found at their home in Sill
dell, Montgomery county, with their heads
shockingly battered and crushed and lying
in pools of blood. Neither one was dead,
but both were unconscious. They were car
ried to the Maryland University Hospital in
Baltimore, where Louis Rosenstein died the
following day without regaining conscious
ness. Mrs. Rosenstein lay unconscious at
the hospital until the following Thursday,
when she, too, died.

and washing out with filtered water the
precipitate which has collected in the
meshes of the sand. The rate of filtration
is much greater than is possible with the
natural method of filtration, the cleaning
being mechanically effected occupies but
a short time. The various devices for me-
chanical filtration are owned by corpora
tons engaged in the filter business. In
view of the fact that the rate of filtration
is much more rapid when this method is
used, IL is not necessary to spend much
money in the purchase of a site for its in
stallation, that when the price of land is
considerable the difference between the
original cost of installing the two systems
may be very great. The relatively large
cost of operating is however. a serious
drawback to mechanical filters. Those in
terested IN such hlters claim everything
for them. but how much they will accom-
plish remains to be seen. A recent eXami-
nation of the typhoid fever death rates at
various American cities in which mechan-
zeal filters are in use, and a comparison of
such death rates with those of cities hav-
ing sand filter beds, was not at all credit
able to the mechanical filters. We must
bear in mind, too, the statement of the
state board of health of Massachusetts.
which has very carefully investigated the
question of filtration of public water sup
plies, that no mechanical filter examined
by it removed enough bacteria to warrant
the board in recommending the city Uaw-
renee, Mass.,) to accept it,"
Experiments Being Conducted.
The experiments which are now being
conducted by the War Department to de-
termine the relative efficiency of sand and
mechanical filtration will be watched with
interest, but the subject has been so thor
oughly Investigated that nothing new can
be expected. Since the report of Captain
Symonds in 1886, there has been a ten
dency to regard army engineers as partial
to the mechanical method of filtration
But however that may be, 1t is not likely
that those financially interested in such
devices Will leave any stone unturned 10
secure "a favorable report on their appara-
tus; nor, If such report be unfavorable, to
endeavor to secure their installation here
by direct appeal to Congress. Sand filters
not being owned by anybody, must depend
entirely upon their merits

FIGHTING YELLOW JACK.
Twenty-Three Deaths Have Occurred
at Santiago.

ueaths nave occurred
at Santiago.
Surgeon General Sternberg has received
a letter from Major Hazard, chief surgeon
at Santiago, saying:
1.-The fever broke upon us suddenly, al
most without warning, the first case in a
dirty lodging house in town, but the second
and third cases almost simultaneously in
the barracks. We have no doubt that the
city is infected in various places, but spe-
cially in the barracks lately occupie> by
four companies and band of the 9Th In
fantry, from which have come the great
majority of our cases. The barracks and
hospital have been evacuated, as well as
all other public buildings, and all our troops
are in camp. The first two companies are
now free from yellow fever but the last
two have continued to furnish many cases.
On the I'd and Sd these infected companies
Were disinfected and sent into the foothills,
five miles away, where We expect good re-
suits. Up to this evening have about
lo4 cases, including fifteen civilians. with
total deaths of twenty-three. Our general
hospital Is not under canvas, but hope to
be able to have a frame structure put up.

AN ANSWER FILED.
Another Step in the Warrington and
Gettysburg Railroad Suit

In the suit for injunction filed in the name
of the Washington and Gettysburg Rail-
road Company and the Montgomery Con-
struction Company against George H Har-
ries and seven others. the answer of the
defendants was placed on record late yes
terday afternoon. The complainants seek
a decree restraining the defendants from
issuing any stocks or bonds in the name
or on the credit of the Washington and
Gettysburg Railway Company; from seek
ing subscriptions to the same and from
constructing line of railway into the Dis
trict of Columbia along the route from the
intersection of the boundary line with 18th
street northeast extended to the intersec-
ton of 10th street northeast with Rhode
Island avenue and from entering into con-
name of the Washington and Gettysburg
Railway Company.
In the answer it is declared that at a
duly authorized meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the railroad company the defendants
to the suit were properly elected directors,
and they thereupon took the prescribed
oath and complied with the law in every
way. The directors elected George H. Har-
ries president and general manager. Con-
tinuing. it is asserted in the answer that
a considerable portion of the road pro-
vided for in the charter has been construct
ed by them, in the District and in Mary
land. They also claim to have contracted
upon behalf of the company for the pur-
chase of land. They also state that thew
had confidently anticipated before the filing
of the suit to have the line completed from
Washington to Sandy Spring not later than
January l, 1899.
