rhe Foundling Asylum,

To the Editor of The Times:
Having visited several of the largest and best
conducted children's homes in this country.
among them the Franklin County Children's
Home, at Columbus, Ohio, where / spent four
days investigating the institution, its modus
operandi, and management, ! was very much
astonished at reading Anna P. Thomas letter
in regard to the Founding Asylum Of this city,
which, / think, shows perfect ignorance Of the
subject in hand.
In the first place, she seems to gather ali her
information from a friend, who only spent q
half hour in the institution. Therefore, be-
lieve it my duty to speak of what have seen
during the past week while. spending five hours
each day in all parts of the institution, seeing
and tasting Of what has been fed 70 the little
ones.
The institution is under the care OF the best
matron and corps of the most patient nurses ever
brought under my observation, and my visits
have been during the most trying time. As 70
the evidence OF ''literal starvation" there IS
not the slightest foundation for such criticism.
| made a careful investigation of the food and
the mode of preparing it, and very much
impressed with the good quality and the scien-
ti6e way in which it is prepared. l also noticed
how quick they to throw out everything
that was at all doubtful.
l was pleased to how happy and contented
each child seemed TO be, well how per-
fectly healthy all over six months old appeared.
/ was also impressed with how quick they to
obey when they are spoken TO, and l have not
yet heard a cross word spoken by anyone about
the place. As to cleanliness, investigated that
feature very carefully, and found 1t of the
very highest standard II is easy for some people
to write and inform the public upon subjects
they not at ali acquainted with, l would
advise Anna p. Thomas to go and investigate
the institution for herself before she attempts

Boston, Aug. THE Senators made a
very feeble showing at the bat this after
noon, managing 10 scratch one little hit in
the whole game Boston did not do very
much in the scoring line of Dinneen, ex-
cept in the first and last innings, but hit
him freely all the way through. Willis
was in great form and puzzled his oppo-
nenss soreIy. Dinneen made the only hit
of him, accomplishing this feat in the
sixth inning when he was first man to
bat. He was forced by Slagie, however,
and the next two men were retired. But
for a bad throw of Bergen in the first in
ming in trying to retire o'Brien Washing
ton would have doubtless failed 10 score.
After the first inning but one man got as
far as second in the game Washington
got men on bases IN the Seventh and
eighth innings through gifts OF Willis, but
in both cases a double play followed of
the next bafsman. The superb fielding Of
Collins had considerable to DO with the
splendid showing Of his pitcher, as be
played wonderful game and cut of mere
than one base hit. Lowe did himself proud
at second. There was nothing especially
noteworthy on the Washington side The
men did not play wen together, especially
in the outfieid- Both o'Brien and Freeman
missed halls that Slagle could have taken
with ease. Padden put up good game at
short and McGann again showed that there
was no doubt about his abilities as one OF
the best OF first basemen.
After Siagle had famed in the first in

The District Lencue.

The game between the Eastern Athletic
Club and the Congress Heights team at
National Park yesterday was full of in
cidents and excitement, and came near
ending in row. The Eastern Athletic
Club boys kept up a constant kick against
the umpire, Mr.. Gorden. charging him
with giving them the bad end of all the
close decisions At the close of the eighth
inning before the evening shadows had
grown dense, Mr.. Gordon called the game.
This enraged the Athletic young men, who
contended that it was sufficiently light
for at least one more inning and as they
had struck a batting streak, they thought
they should not be so>arbitrarily shut off.
Pandemonium reigncd for a time, but Cor
don was inexorable, and the teams left
the field. The Congress Heights outplayed
their opponents The score by innings:

To the Editor of The Times:
In the article -. N. Johnson Reprimanded," !"
in this mornings Times, occurs this sentence:
johnson also indignant with the press of
this city for saying colored women instead of
colored ladies when speaking of the committee
of colored people"
Is it not strange how fond the coored race

me some time ago that the colored girl came
TO him day, saying that ''the ash gentle
at the gate for the ashes" To which
my friend replied: II guess the slop gentle
man will be along shortly
The use of the word lady is awful. and is APP
piled to so many things, that it is hard to say
who is one and who is not; the coored people
use it exclusively. until at last, in desperation
have come TO the conclusion to use the word
woman when speaking of the white race and
lady of the colored. To the word woman
is always sweeter than the hackneyed word lady
Mr.. Johnson is right. Let our colored friends
use the word lady; whites will use the nobier

THE SENATORS RETURN.
The Present Trip Has Been Fairly
Satisfacfory

The Senators will arrive today from Bos-
ton after giving the Champions a material
hoist up the pennant ladder. 1t was con-
fdentiy expected Washington would win
one Of the three games played at Boston,
but such was not the case. The trip as a
whole was fairly satisfactory. Five games
were lost by one run, showing that the
Senators were playing good bah. One
pleasant feature about the Senator's trip is
the many complimentary things said about
them by the Western press. The team has
forty-four games yet TO play upon the
