The past week was Nantucket's warmest

only reached 50 degrees. No wonder the
Washington people come SO far to get a
good, cool Atlantic breeze and a minimum
temperature during the night ranging from
81 degrees to "a degrees.
The pleasures for the week have been
principally straw rides. moonlight sailing
parties and beach teas. Pond fishing was
enjoyed by many.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
WASHINGTON GROVE, August "a, 1899.
The services of the Salvation Army today
were led by Mrs. Ensign Clifford. Adjutant
Berriman had the afternoon service under
his direction and made an earnest appeal
to those who were non-Christian to take a
decided stand for the right.
The incidents related by the officers of
their army life very entertaining to the
large numbers of country people who at
tend the meetings. as well to the resi-
dents of the Grove
A lantern lecture was given this evening.
The building was crowded, many being I'M
able to obtain seats. The lecture was very
instructive. Pictures of all branches of the
army work were thrown upon the canvas.
Slides showing prominent members of the
army were greeted with 'volleys' and sa-
lutes on the drum. The lieutenant who
had the drum in charge was one of the re-
Gently imprisoned officers.
Tomorrow evening song service will be
held, and some of the favorites of other
years will be sung by request.

horse stumbled and fell. Mrs. Farquhar
was jerked over the front of the cart, and
before she could recover from the fall the
wheel of the vehicle passed over her left
leg, breaking both bones. Mr.. Farquhar.
who was riding his wheel alongside the
cart, went to his wife's assistance. Sac was
carried into a nearby house and medical
aid summoned. DR.. Green responded and
reduced the fracture. Mrs. Farquhar was
also slightly bruised about the body and
suffered considerably from shock. Neither
child was hurt.
In addition to the claim of Henry He

for the $500 reward offered for Information
leading to the arrest and conviction of the
murderer of Louis and Dora Rosenstein.
two other claims have been filed with the
county commissioners. r. Dorsey Trun-
die. as attorney for Charles c. Clark of
Washington, has put in claim for the
money, and Policeman William w. Easley
has also made application. Mr.. Clark
states in his petition that Taylor surren-
dered to him after he Clark ordered him
to do so, and Policeman Easley, in his ap-
plication. alleges that he was the first man
to lay hands upon Taylor and that the ar
rest is credited to him at the station house
to which the prisoner was carried. Each
claimant filed affidavits in support of his
claim The. question will probably be set
tied at the next meeting of the commits
sioners.
1t is understood that the prohibition
party of this county will make no nominal

cratic ticket who are not satisfactory to the

MIDSUMMER AT OLD WHITE.

Mt West Virginia Resort.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs. w. Va,
August y. 1899.
The midsummer time at the 'Old White
should be. The weather is cool and the
nights are bracing, making one feel better
in tight jacket than an evening gown.
Many of the people here appreciate the
beauties and comforts of the place more
than they do the gayeties.
EX-Secretary of the Navy Herbert is
here. He is meeting many friends, and the
ladies besiege him. whenever possible. as
he appears on the galleries or in the draw
ing room. for it is a well-known fact that
his brilliant speeches are not all made to
large audiences.
Mrs. Hemingway of Mississippi, formerly
MISS George, daughter of Senator George,
ard a former Washington favorite in high
social circles, is here with her beautiful
and popular daughter, Miss Emma. Miss
Enrol Brown of Washington is a great
favorite at the White. Mrs. Breckinridge
and family, who have been here for sew
eral weeks, returned to Washington this
morning. Mrs L. P. Blackburn. widow of
Ex-Governor Blackburn of Kentucky, is
now here with Washington and Louisville
friends Col. G. A. Mills of Washington is
also guest here. Alfred ]. Stofer and G.
H. German of Washington are among the
late arrivals.
Many fine private and public balls have
been given during the past week, in which
Washington fashionable folk figured most
charmingly. For instance, Miss Bessie Lee
and Miss Emma Hume and Miss Enrol
Brown were quite charming powdered
beauties of century gone, in the gay bal
poudre. Indeed this was such a lovely ball
that the photographer was sent for and
took fiashlight picture of all the dancers.
The children'S fancy ball was another
fine feature of the week.
Minister WI Ting-Fang of the Chinese
legation is fast improving in his dancing
lessons, and his little son. Chao-Chu, is as
graceful as an American lad of the same
age.

OBJECT TO DOG TAX.
Hyattsvf1le Citizens Resolve to Re-
sist the Collection.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
EVANSVILLE. Md, August -. 1899
A circular sent to each resident of the
town by the commissioners of the village, de-
handing that the dog tax be paid by GER
tain date, has met with general protest
The cause of the dissatisfaction is alleged
to be that the taxation of dogs has not
been carried out thoroughly, and that a
number of residents who have heretofore
paid their taxes regularly have been the
only ones called upon to settle. These par
ties claim that majority of those who
own dogs have never paid one cent during
the five six years since the taxation
was authorized
A number of gentlemen have agreed to
contribute 81 each for the purpose of re-
tanning a lawyer to fight this question. as
the taxation is declared to be unjust. The
majority of the dogs which overrun the
village it is claimed. are owned by people
who live just beyond the corporation limits.
The officers say they will energetically push
the collection of this tax. The dogs that
are not properly tagged will be taken up
and held for forty-eight hours. after which.
if they are not redeemed, they will be
killed.

e Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Wouldn't there be less danger of race
troubles in the south IL the state and NUM-
cipal authorities displayed the same alert
ness and energy for the suppression of law
lessness on the part of the whites that they
show for the suppression of lawlessness on
the part of the negroes? In other words
why is 1t so easy to compel the negroes to
obey the law and so difficult to enforce the
laws against white malefactors? A sue
cessful negro uprising is almost impossible
in the south, simply because of the properly
prompt and vigorous measures adopted by
the authorities to crush 1t out in its in
cipiency, but in the case of an uprising Of
white men the authorities seem supineiy
helpless until after the mob has vented it's
fury and dispersed of its own accord. These
queries are suggested by the recent exe
perience at Darien, Ga. A. J. c.,
