The arrest Of William Mckenzie, colored,
of Hillsdale yesterday afternoon about
o'clock in Anacostia on a charge of pur-
Joining a pocket book containing 500, the
property of Mrs. S. Meloy of st. Elizabeth's
Asylum, was followed by his identification
as the party who picked up the money
Mrs. Meloy lost her pocket book Friday
evening last as she was leaving an Anacos-
tia car on Monroe street, Anacostia. She
looked for il, but without success and
later she notified the police of the Anacos-
tia station Of her loss. They heard nothing
of the purse or money, however
Mrs. Meloy remembered that as she had
left the car in Anacostia at the time she
lost her pocket book Mr.. Patrick Barrett
OF st. EliZabeths Asylum had boarded the
same car on his journey to Piney Point
She communicated with him and he was
able to tell that he had seen one of the
Mckenzie youths pick up the pocket book
from the floor of the car. He returned to
St Elizabcth's yesterday with this intelli-
gence, but left on his return to Piuty
Point before he was called to go to the
police station In Anacostia to identify one
of two prisoners. a police officer was sent
in search of Mr. Barrett and he was found
as he was about to board boat at the
wharf for Piney Point. He returned to
Anacostia and at the station house identi-
fled William Mckenzie as the culprit The
prisoner will not be tried until Mr.. Barrett
returns.

PROFANE AND DIsORDERLY.
Grave Charges Made in Police Court
Against John Walsh.

John Walsh Of Scott avenue northwest
was today charged in the Police Court
with profanity and disorderly conduct and
soud bonds to come into court for sentence
on the 18th instant. The judge stated he
released Walsh with much regret under the
circumstances shown to exist
The testimony showed that Mrs. WALSH
was taken very i'll yesterday, and The ply
-ician who attended her announced to the
family that she would soon die. A priest
was sent for and he hurried to the house
to administer extreme unction. While ne
was performing the sad office. il is alleged,
Walsh, who was in a very much intuxi-
Gated condition. interfcred TO such an extent
with the work of the doctor and of the
priest that officer was sent for and he
was taken to the eighth precinct station
and locked up. About hour later Mrs.
Walsh died.
An uncle Of the woman went to the sta
tion 10 notify Walsh Of the sad occurrence,
and when informed Of il, il is said the
man answered with 4 horrible expression
that he was glad his wife was dead.
Walsh admitted the accusation. but said
he was so overcome with grief when he
found his wife dying not to be account
able for his conduct. Judge Mills replied
that the pending case was the most brutal
he had ever heard Of, and were 1t not for
tho fact of there being five little children
to be provided for and the funeral arrange
ments to be made he would impose on
law for the offenffse of which he had been
convicted. Walsh was then released from
custody to report in court ON the date
stated.

REFORM IN CHRISTIAN BURIAL.
Expense and Display Discouraged by
Churchman's League.

At recent meeting Of the Churchman
League of the District Of Columbia resolu-
tions were adopted to the effect that the
league approves of the principle of econo-
my and simplicity in the conduct OF funer-
ais and requests the cooperation of the
reverend clergy in securing this reform,
either by preaching sermons in advocacy
of the same or by personal influence with
their parishoners.
The league has recently sent out to all the
clergy of the diocese its conclusions and
suggestions upon the subject of burial re-
form. Among other things, 1t Is stated that
needless expense has been caused by the
exuberant display of flowers and floral en-
blemS: money has been practically thrown
away in costly caskets to be hidden away
forever; extravaganza is shown in furnish
ing vehicles to convey more or less dtsin-
terested persons to the grave; the meaning
of burial is disguised, and its purpose
thwarted by the erection of expensive
vaults or hricked graves.
In addition to the argument which natu-
rally occurs to every one in this connection,
the sinfulness of extravaganza, especially
a such times. we would the appeal
states, urge the teachings Of St Paul, as
constantly read In our service, that the
body is to dissolve into its original ele
ments. Anything which tends to the
preservation Of the body is evidently anti
Christian The use of metal coffins and Of
masonry to receive the remains retards the
natural law. In addition, this practice is
essentially heather, being merely an imper-
feet imitation of the custom of the Egyp-
tians, which was based upon an entirely
different conception of the future from that
taught by our faith There Is a natural
body and there Is spiritual body. When
the natural body shall have done Its work
1t is by divine decree to be resolved The
body. If deposited in proper soil, will quick
ly disappear, the earth itself deodorZing
and disinfecting all impurities during the
process"
To restore to Christian burial Its true
meaning, and to relieve those whose re-
sources are TOO meager to admit of display,
1t IS suggested that all Christians, the rich
as we'll as the poor, agree to the subjoned
proposals: Discountefance all floral gifts
except few loose flowers to be provided
by the immediate mourners; procure the
simplest caskets Of wood, which will easily
perish, without ornaments, except a plain
cross; allow none but the family to escort
the body to the final resting place. and
discontinue the use Of vaults and bricked
graves.

ASKS COURT TO DECIDE.
Attorney Perry Unable to Dispose of
Money in His Hands.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia by Mr.
r. Ross Perry, attorney-a of this city,
by which he seeks instructions from the
court as to the disbursement of a fund
amounting to nearly $4,000, which is in his
keeping attorney 1t is stated that some
time ago the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company was sued by William Howard and
Laura =. Howard his wife as joint plain
tiGs, to recover damage for injuries sus-
tanned while Mrs Howard was a passenger
on a train of the railroad company, passing
through Carter county, Ky. In May, 1873.
judgment in favor Of the plaintiffs tor
S30.Wp reported. The matter was APP
pealed but the higher court sustained the
Judgment, and the 10Th of last June the
railroad company paid to Mr.. Perry, as at
torney for the plaintiffs, the amount stated.
After deducting his fee and certain other
expenses of litigation. Mr.. Perry has
manning in his hands S13,1ol.30
The difficulty confronting the attorney
consists OF a doubt as to whom the money
should he paid-Mr. Howard Mrs How
ard. Each claims the full amount and each
objects 20 Il being turned over to the
other. Mrs. Howard declares that for
long time prior to the accident she lived
apart from her husband, supporting her
self.
Mr. Perry informs the court that he is in
doubt to which of the defendants is en-
titled to receive the money. 1t has always
been a disputed point. he says, whether un-
der the laws of the District the husband or
the wife was entitled to the proceeds of
Judgment Obtained by their suing Jointly
for damages for an injury to the person of
the wife. 1t IS also, he says, a disputed
point whether the laws of the place of the
domicile of plaintiffs or the laws of the
place where the suit was brought or the
laws of the place where the accident oc-
CURED would determine the rights of the
parties to the proceeds of the Judgment
Mr.. Perry further says that he would
have no adequate protection in paying the
money in his possession to either of the
parties and asks that the court may de-
termine the issues between them, and that
he may make disbursement OF the fund
by the courts orders and under its pro-
tection

TAKES EXCEPTIONS.
DR.. ROsse Objects to Vigilance In
Quest of Boy Rathers.

DR.. Irving c. Rosse thinks the police of
the District might be better employed in
looking after Rraver offenders whom, he
charges they allow to escape than in ar
resting small boys for bathing. These ar
rests, states DR.. Rosse in a letter to Dis
trict Commissioner Macfarland, are usually
made where the boys are caught bathing at
some unfrequented wharf, or lonely pond,
in the vicinity of which, says Dr. Rosse, po-
licemen have been known to hide many
hours with view to making such arrests
While he would in no way countenance
exhibittOnism or exposure, DR.. Rosse says
1t seems to most sensible people that po-
lice stringency in this matter is carried too
far In the District. and calls, he believes,
for mitigation. The doctor declares that
the present course of the police strikes
terror to the mind Of many a small boy
who would otherwise learn the useful and
manly accomplishment. which, he believes
the municipal authorities should counte-
nance and encourage in every way possible
consistent with propriety.

H. 3 w Whitmore, past commander of the
Maryland division of the Sons of Veterans,
has received from Mr.. Frank Hume the
tender of fifty acres of ground near Arling-
ton and fronting on Mount Vernon avenue
as a site for the proposed national military
college. At the encampment of the organi-
zaion in Indianapolis In 1896 committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions 1t

Redfed, S. D. AT the annual meeting of
the commandery-in-chief during the early
part of next month at Syracuse N Y, the
location for the college will be chosen.
1t is proposed to establish the college as
memorial to the soldiers of the Union
army in the civil war and to the brave
women of that period. The officers and
members of the Maryland division, which
includes Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and
the District of Columbia, over 500 in num-
Der, are working under the direction of ID.
NJ. Rittenhouse, the commander, and G. s.
Whitmore. past commander of the division,
to have the college located here. The four
camps of the District, Columbia, Cushing
Lincoln and Freeman, which have over 200
members, are also assisting.
The cooperation and interest of the Dis
trict Commissioners have been secured and
II is proposed also to enlist in the cause
the influence and sympathy of the board
OF trade, the business Mems Associate
and other organizations identified with the
District. The magnitude Of the undertaking
can be appreciated when 1t is known that
the chairman of the national committee IS
opposed to starting actual operations with
out a fund of s2OO0,0OO. Subscriptions are
coming in, and during the second week in
June the college committee received pledges
averaging $1,000 day. The north and west
are working enthusiastically, and Illinois
and Iowa are each near the $4,000 mark
at this time while pledges from Rhode ISL

The BrishtwoOd Railroad Service.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
At the meeting of the Takoma Citizens
Association on Tuesday night Gen. Harries
stated that the Brightwood division Of the
allied lines of the Washington Traction
Company is now running a a loss of about
500, 600 per annum. Now, every one knows
that with a Accent fare and crowded cars
during six hours of each day any company
should be able to furnish fine service for q
five-mile road and make large profits. For
six hours of every day the Brightwood
company has heavy travel, and half of this
time 1t can hardly carry its passengers.
The service Is inexpensive and is done with
worn-out old cars, and If there is not a
heavy profit in it there is no escape from
the conclusion that there is a big leak
somewhere or msmanagement of the gross
est kind
If the Washington Traction corporation
paid more for the railroad and franchise
than 1t was worth, and If by bunging 1t
expended 100000 In betterments which
could have been easily placed by a COM
petent engineer who knows his business for
100000, then the patrons of this road
should not be made to reimburse the cor
poration for the money wasted by being
required to pay excessive car fares.
In Gen. Harries' bookkeeping 1t Is de-
sired to point out to the public flaw which
was obvious to every one who attended this
meeting. Gen. Harries admitted that the
Brightwood railroad division only received
credit for one-half of the passengers 1t car
ried. That is to say, that for the short ride
on the city line the Metropolitan division
receives full credit for all the tickets
given up on It's lines for transfers to the
Brightwood line, the latter not getting any
credit whatever therefor. 1t will take only
a short illustration to show the falIacy and
injustice of this system of bookkeeping, de.
vised undoubtedly as a ba sis for the present
call of increased fares. For instance,
should the Capital Traction Company buy
the Brightwood line it Is clear to every one
