False Representation.


False Representation.
J. F. McKenna, thirty-five years old, who
lives at No. 62S A street southeast, was
arrested this morning on warrant charg-
ing him with having obtained $33 from DR..
Siegfried Genthe, who lives at No. 13 Iowa
circle, which sum, it Is alleged. was paid
over to McKenna because he claimed to be
member of the committee appointed to
solicit contributions in aid of the Beers
The name of Patrick O'Farrell, a member
o. the committee, appears on the warrant as
a witness.
When Detective Miller was given the war
rant this morning he went to McKenna's >
house to serve it. but learning he had gone
to the Shoreham Hotel, the detective fol-
lowed and found him there At the re-
quest of the man charged the detective
consented to wait for him to eat his break
fast. After being in the dining room
short time McKenna left the table. Detec-
tive Miller followed him. ard he made OBJ
lection. The officer finally reached the con-
ciusion that McKenna was going to give
him the slip, and informed him that he
would have to accompany him to the sta
ton. Then. the detective says. McKehns
put his hand behind him and said:
IF you follow me L IL kill you.
A struggle followed and McKenna was
taken from the hotel without being given
an opportunity to get his hat.
McKenna was escorted to the patrol box
at 14th street and New York avenue. and
from there he was sent to the first pre-
cinct station. Unless bond is furnished for
him he will be held until tomorrow NORM

Retirement and Pensioning of Clerks.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Thousands Of Washingtonians are deeply
interested In the varied propositions to en-
able the classified service to be relieved of
employees who, by disability from age and
other causes, are no longer efficient. The
heads of departments admit that the ques-
ton is too much for them. Many of these
employees have been worn out in the gov
ernment service, and not a few Of them,
superadded to the irfirmities of age, have
been disabled in their successful efforts to
keep the Union whole.
When Influence" dictated not by sell
fishness, but by pure sympathy and patri-
otto gratitude, is brought to bear upon the
head of a department, the nobility of his
nature makes it almost impossible for him
to resist the appeal. 'What, turn out a
faithful servant to eat the bitter bread of
dependence until welcome death closes the
sad chapter! I can't do it!' and, right or
wrong, Of his own act, he builds up . civil

1t is no longer doubtful that Agui-
naldo and his murderous insurgents
are inspired to continue hopeless
war against oQEe-hJJfFa1e men in the

assurances that they have received
from this country that the next Presl-
Dental election will reverse the policy
of the government, haul down the
Stars and Stripes which have been
planted in the far East by the heroism
of our army and navy, and give the
Philippines back to anarchy.
The Philadelphia Times remarks
that some honest and many political
demasogues have united to give every
possible encouragement to the Fill

The whole country is now mourning
the loss OF one of the ablest, bravest
and most heroic of our military com
manders in the Philippines, who has
fallen in front of the firing line with
his heart pierced by an insurgents
bullet.
General Lawton had been long with
the army; had the best possible OPP
portunities to understand the situa-
ton correctly; and now that he has
given his life as n sacrifice in the bat
tie to give freedom and government of
law to the Filipinos, his expressions
on the subject will not only be read
with great interest, but his judgment
will be very generally received as cor

COMPANY DINNERS.
They Are Dreaded by Guests and
Make the Hostess Nervous.

They Are Dreaded by Guests and
Make the Hostess Nervous.
Writing on Making Company of
Guests" Edward Box, in The Ladies'
Home Journal, considers at n curious
fact that American housewives are so
loath to believe that dinner with fuss
and feathers Is dreaded by the vast
ma fprlty of people. The highest COM
plmeIft we can possibly show guest
at dinner rs TO let him partake Of an
ordinary meaI,>to let him come quietly
In and be one of che family yet this
Is the very compliment which we with
hold from him. Instead OF giving n
guest what he would relish most re
give him what he really enjoys least.
Let a hostess he ever so graceful
and tactful, let there be years of eX-
periencc on her shoulders, yet nothing
can conceal from her guests that the
dinner which she Is serving Is other
than an unusual one, 1t Is formal af-
fair, and no amount of grace can make
anything else of it, for nothing speaks
so loudly or so uncrringly as formal
company dipner. Every course shows
1t; every movement of the waitress pro-
claims 1t; every piece of china fairly
cries out the occasion.
and of course no one at the table
really enjoys 1t. The guest certainly
does not. because he knows he Is being
made company of, and that feeling Is
always enough to offset every enjoy
ment. The hostess does not, for she
hasn't the time. Her eyes are for the
table and her servants, not for her
guest."
