Denver, Col, June 23.-The mana gers

THREW HER ON THE FENDER.
A Fair BicycIist Gets Tangled Up
With nm Electric Car.

very unusual example of the utility Of
an electric car fender, and the display of
self-possesslon on the. part of a young wo-
man bicyclist, was exhibited yesterday af-
ternoon at 4:30 o'clock in front of the
Treasury Building A clerk in the Treas
ury Department was the nervy heroine OF
the occasion. This young lady, who either
was an amateur rider or who lost momen-
tary control of her wheel. was caught,
wheel and all, into the network Of the
fender on passing Navy Yard car. The
rider was thrown into an undignified heap
In the meshes, while her wheel covered
her. The motorman reversed his car, ap-
piled the brake, and brought his train to
sudden standstill, nearly unseating the
passengers, who viewed the collapse OF
rider and wheel and scrambled out of the
cars expecting to find a mangled woman
and damaged bicycle. What looked like
might be tragedy was turned into joy
Gus comedy.
The feminine. bicyclist sprang laughing
ly to her feet and. adjusting her rumpled
attire, sprang again on her wheel and
waving her hand to the amazed and SYM
pathetic motorman and conductor, merrily
called, You are losing time, go ahead, y
and lightly sprang on her wheel and rode
away. The astounded spectators recov-
cred their wits enough to give the spir-
tied young rider rousing cheer, while the
relieved train men drew deep breaths
and sped on the even tenor OF their way.
The whole accident went off with the
promptness which controls perfectly
managed stage climax.

SMITH TO HANG TODAY.
The Condemned Mnn Takes Spiritual
Comfort From Father Matthews.

Within the last few days it is said a
of Edward Smith, colored, who will today
be hanged In the District Jail for murder
ing Edmonia Jackson on November Is,
1897. Since his arrest, on the night OF No
yember 10 last, he has assumed a bold
front, pretended to despise religion, and
until very recently he has maintained that
he was able to attend to his own affairs,
and that when the time came he would not
falter, but would march to the scaffold and
surrender his life like man.
Since the execution of Strathers and
Winston on Friday last change seems 10
have come over Smiths mind. The bra
vado of which he proudly boasted has for
saken him, and II is stated that he is now
trembling at the fate which he will meet
today upon the gallows. Warden Harris
has been especially kind to the unfortu-
nate man, and when he learned that he
was in a measure relenting and beginning
to seriously consider that his end was rap
idly approaching he went to him and
asked that he be allowed to send for a
spiritual adviser for him. Smith was re-
luctant at first TO agree to this, but finally
consented, and Mr.. Harris sent for Father
James r. Matthews, of st. Cyprian's Cath
olic Church. After Father Matthews left
Smith last night the condemned man slept
more calmly than he has at any time dur
ing the last week or ten days. Warden
Harris has no fear that Smith will create
a scene, but will meet his death as he de-
termined to do long ago. So far as is pos
sible the warden will take every precau-
tion to prevent anything like a demonstra-
tion by the condemned man at the gallow3.

ing to Marshall Hall.
The members of the Washington Bar AS
sociation will TAX their annual outing to-
morrow at Marshall Hall. The guests OF
honor will be the Justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States, the Justices of
the Court of Appeals for the District, the
members of the Supreme Court of the Dis

While the annual outings of the local

guests tomorrow surpass any efforts made
in that line heretofore by .the committee

AS on former occasions of this kind, the
bill of fare for the annual dinner contains
but one entry-"shad bake"-but it is
said that this will be served in as many
different forms as the shapes into which
an astute disciple of Blackstone and Kent
can twist a common law statute.
Aside from the feast of shad the fea-
ture of the day will be a game of baseball
which will be played between two mines
composed of members of the association,
chosen because of their acknowledged abil-
ity to score against their opponents. 1t
has not yet been decided who shall be Sc
lected to umpire the game. 1t has been
suggested, however, that one of the Jus :
ticcs of the Supreme Court of the Urited
States be honored with the position for the
reason that there will be no higher author
ity to which the other" side can appeal
However this may be. and no matter
which side wins the game of baseball, it is
unanimously agreed among the members OF
the association that the outing promises
to be the most enjoyable ever given under
the auspices of the association.

others has been filed with the District
Commissioners complaining about the pa
troll box now located in Seventh Street,

to avoid the nuisance. 1t is claimed by
the petitioners that the box is used almost
exclusively in making arrests among the
negroes living in Navy Place.

ience to the Police Department In its pres

as colored prisoners, he stated, and were
the box placed in Navy Place it would not
only be difficult of approach, but would

their prisoners to the box in the alley.
The box will not be moved, but as soon
