tendcnt of the railway mail service, who
resides at 1852 Hardwood avenue, has for
warded to the Attorney General charges

constable, is not a fit person to fill the
place he holds. According to Mr. Chap

characterizes as an unjust suit, instituted
against his wife and himself by a certain
real estate agent, to recover S1s0-the suit
Deing decided in favor of the Chapmans-it

in a very unbecoming and ungentlemanly
manner, and made a false return on pa
pers given him 10 serve on Mrs. Chapman
He swore at the trial, 1t is stated that
Mrs. Chapman received the papers, she
being at the time zen dishabile' and in
the bath room, when, in fact, she did not
receive them.

has referred the charges to the United
States attorney for the District of Colum-
bia for investigation and report.

HARRY PROCTOR's HEROIC DEED.
Rescues q Little Child From the
Waves,

Mr.. Harry T. Proctor of this city, son of
Detective Charles w. Proctor, and now a
student in the University OF Chicago, per-
formed deed few evenings ago which
has ELECTED much favorable comment in
some of the papers of that city.
While Mr. Proctor and friend were sit
ting on bench in Jackson Park near the
lake shore they noticed some little girls
playing near the edge of the water and
banterfng the breakers. Soon one of them
was seen standing at the lowest part Of the
sloping beach near where the water is ten
feet deep. When q breaker came rolling
UP she would retreat and then follow il
back as the waves receded. This was kept
up until she lost her footing as the rolling
mass Of water struck her, and was carried
out into the lake as the billow rolled back
ward.
A cry Of alarm was raised, and Mr. Proc
tor, without delay, plunged into the lake.
He battled against the driving waves and
reached the child just in the nick of time.
When laid on the beach she was uncon-
sc1ous, but was soon revived and was sent
home in cab.
me glris fescuer, as soon as he saw that
the little one was safe, made his way to the
university to escape the throngs which
sought to do him honor.

The Effect of Lynching,

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
Let me, as one of your readers, make pub
H0 acknowledgment for your editorial on
the Alexandria lynching, and to express the
hope that not once, but many times, you
will thus rehuke the rampant, evil spirit
that is hurrying us on to a race conflict of
reprisal and retaliation; wherein we shall
witness a repetition of all the horrors of a
Sepoy mutiny.
Detestable as is the crime and the GRIM
inal that receives punishment at the hands
of a mob composed in part of leading citi-
zens," equally detestable is the mob that
affects the role of avenger, assembling in
large numbers with murder. nay savage
butchery, in the hearts of it's members 1t
not only violates the law directed against
the destruction of human life, but it strikes
an infamous blow at all the institutions of
organized society. 1t substitutes anarchy
in the place of social order. 1t makes wild
animals of human beings. Not infreuuently
it sheds innocent blood in it's lust for a
victim. 1t degrades, debases and dsgraces
all concerned in its mad saturnalia
To those who uphold and advocate the
rule of the mob, take warning. AS We sow,
so shall we reap. The seeds of murder that
you are sowing today, your children shall
reap in the undying hatred of the race
from which you chiefly select the victims
of your murderous purpose.

THE SUM MER SEASON
Many Business Men Are Out of the City Just
Now.
Difficult to Launch Any New Enter.
prise at This Time of
the Year.

People who attempt to do business in
this city at this season of the year are apt
to meet with one difficulty, which is dis
couragingly common They find that men
whose cooperation they need are out of
the city. OF course the word business is
used in a rather restricted sense and does
not apply to the rather broad field where
goods are offered at retail sale. But in
most avenues of everyday activity, where
the combined energies of individuals are
required to produce results, there are de-
lays made necessary by the custom of
summer holidays. While 1t is not true, as
the ordinary phrase goes, that everybody
is out of town." still there is no doubt that
a good many people whose help is needed
in business enterprises are either out of
town or just going away or just coming
back. In this state of affairs most men
give up the attempt of beginning any
thing lew, and the practice is to defer af
fairs of the sort until the fall. The cur
rent business is maintained, and in most
instances that is about all. OF course the
holiday summer season is not a welcome
period to a class of men who don't care for
a time of rest and recreation for them
selves. much preferring to continue in the
accustomed round of duties. But such men
find the current too strong for them, and
they are obliged to yield to the customs up
held by majority.
A Letting Up Everywhere.
The holiday season, however is not
merely a local custom, but during the hot
months of summer there is a letting up in
the rush of business in all portions of the
country. Some go off for a rest and change
and others, finding they are unable to
maintain business activity by themselves
give up in despair and follow them
So that either motive or the hot weather.
or perhaps mingling of both. has brought
about the present fashion of vacation in
business during the heated term.
AS stated this custom is perhaps not
more general in this city than in others,
but still the fact remains that there does
come a pause in the round of business.
Men who take no vacations as a rule have
but little to do except to attend to minor
details. They may have plenty of good
schemes which promise golden returns, but
they find it is a hopeless task to attempt to
launch them during the summer. There is
neither the money nor the brains available,
nor, the other hand, is there a public
whose patronage can be depended upon.
Not in the City.
The phrase everybody out of town has
a real meaning to those who attempt to do
anything during the dog days. If there is
any doubt in the mind of any one on this
subject, let him make the rounds of the
offices of those whom he is accustomed to
do business with or use the telephone, and
he will soon have convincing proof that
many of the people In his world at least
are not in the city.

Crowds at Chevy Csase Lake.

Those who visited Chevy Chase lake again
yesterday afternoon and evening were fully
rewarded for their trip to that delightful
pleasure resort. The wonderful Meters
family of swimmers and divers began an
engagement on Tuesday, and, Judging from
the large thr0ngs and hearty applause that
their really marvellous performances on the
lake brought corth, this week will be one
of the most successful and attractive in
the history of the resort. The fact that the
performt rs are all mere children, made their
teatS the more marvellous and daring. Miss
Bessie and Master Tommie the elder two
aged thirteen and ten years, respectively
performed innumerable tricks and acrobatic
feats in the water. An imitation drowning
and rescue was ingeniously planned and
carried cut Without warning Tommie
who had mingled with the audience fell
headlOng into the water. The unprepared
spectators feared an accident, when Miss
Bessie, completely attired in street dress
Owed In and rescued the seemingly drown
ing lad. TIL hit of the show, however. was
made when out on the lake came the tiniest
of rowbOatS. manned by Baby Elma as
surediy the smallest sculer alive. This lit
tie tot is but three years of age and hand
led her craft with consummate skill. The
performance concluded with a daring sixty
loot dive, which was accomplished in grace
tul fashion, The dancing pavilion was
thronged after the exhibition with the
many inoulgers in this popular form of
amusement. and the shooting and bowling
galleries, merry-go-round and the boats on
the lake also had their share of interest and
patronage. Daily exhibitions at 5 and at
sop pm Will be given the balance of the
week No admission fee is charged
