Clothes for Poor Pupils.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

Will you kindly allow me space in your
excellent paper to call the attention Of the
charitably inclined to the poorly clad chill
dren who attend the public schools in va
rious parts of the city, especially In the
southeastern and southwestern sections?
Now that the cold weather has set In,
they may be seen clothed in old garments
too small and too thin to keep them even
moderately warm, while hanging In the
closets of many houses are good, comforta-
Bile, outgrown clothes that would keep the
bitter cold from these little ones and glad
den their hearts if delicately offered, say
by loving teacher in an unobtrusiye man
ner. I would suggest to the charitably in
clined that they visit the school houses
nearest to their residences and ascertain
from the principals of the buildings if there
are any little children In need of warm
clothes, and If any. ask them to distribute
such goods among the deserving ones If un-
able to go to the schools note sent to Mrs
ANS. Station "B." will receive prompt at
tention by the writer who will notify the
principals Of several large buildings with
whom she has acquaintance, and l feel sure
that these kind and earnest teachers win
see that all garments sent will be given to
worthy and needy children. Why wait un-
til Christmas to do this good work? Give
these dear little boys and girls something

Mr.. William T. Riley, formerly resident
Of Glen Echo. this county, but now Of
Montauk, L. l., was awarded a verdict for
$500 in suit against the Washington and
Great Falls Electric Railway Company. Mr..
Riley sued for $4,000 The testimony
showed that on July 10, 1899, Mr.. Riley
rcde out from Washington on one of the
defendant company's cars and that just as
he aIighted at RiIey's station, Immediately
in front of his residence, and while stand
ing on the platform between the two tracks.

site direction. Mr. Riley was carried dis
tance of about sixty feet and both bones in
the lower part of his left leg were broken,
with the result that he is permanent
cripple, one leg being shorter than the
other.
The principal point in the case was the
