Editor of The Evening Star

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 wish to correct the erroneous state
ment made in the article in regard to the
career of Albert l.. johnson, whose death
is announced in Wednesdays issue Of The
Star. The article states he began life as a
street car driver" I, as his kinswoman, de-
sire to say that this statement is abso-
lutely incorrect, no member of our fam
lily ever occupied a mental position. The
late Mr.. Johnson. when very young man,
after the completion Of his education, ac-
cepted a position Of trust and RESPONSE
blity in the Citizens Street Railroad Com
pany Of indianapolis, Ind, of which his
father, the late Colonel A. w. Johnson, was
president. Subsequently he was director
of a line in Cleveland owned by his
brother Tom L. Johnson. This was the
only experience and training in the street
car business, which, together with his tire
less energy, developed the faculties of mind
and body that made him the successful
promoter of railroads and the holder of
vast interests. l. B. d. H.

Berlin Correspondence London Chronicle.


In an article in the "Kreutz Zeitunp ~
warmly advocating temperance and the dis
use of alcohol in the army and navy, the
writer brings forward remarkable statistics
in support of his plea. In 100 army prisons
throughout Germany 46 per cent Of all
the murderers committed their crime while
under the influence of drink SiXty-three
per cent of the cases of manslauehter
"A per cent Of serious injury to the per-
son and II per cent of criminal immor-
atty are due to the same cause In the
navy, out of 1,671 punishable cases during
the last six years, 70 per cent of the most
serious cases have been due to drunken
ness
In the Grand Duchy Of Hesse, which is
rapidly acquiring the reputation of being
the most radical state in Germany, the
minister of justice has issued a rescript
providing for the better treatment of no
Htical prisoners than of those convicted of
ordinary crime. They may provide their
own food and nationally employ them
selves, and will not be clad in prison garb.
Moreover. they are allowed a reasonable
use Of the national beverage This and sew
eral other liberal enactments of recent
years are mainly due to the initiative of
the young grand duke, who some months
ago brought a storm of abuse about him
by publicly engaging In conversation with
one of the leading social democrats Of the
grand duchy.

Rome and New York.


Ancient Rome as summer resort was in
some things better off than modern New
York is now. Cicero and Virgil and Horace
and all their compatriots cast little light
raiment over their shoulders in hot wealth
er, and it foated in graceful waves. Their
garments We're sleeveless and without
starch. They wore no collars around their
necks, no bands upon their wrists, no
stockings and no hat, no close shoes. Their
sandals were open to all the winds that
blew. And think of the Roman baths No
other city ever known so lavishly sup
piled with opportunities for bathing. Those
old Romans were not so slow Their water
supply never ran short, and their aQueduct
commissioners never dalled with any
Ramapo schemes to despoil the city treas
ury.
In even the most populous of the tene-
ment districts of the eternal city in the
times of Augustus and of the later Caesars
there was all the water on tap at all times
which man, woman or child could desire
And no Roman head of household how
ever small his means might be, was COM
PEELED to endure discomfort for lack Of
baths.
After all, is it certain that our Tammary
lmperator and consulS and other great Of
hcers of state do as much for the common
people of New York as the rulers OF the
immortal city of Romulus did for the nass-
es on the banks of the Tiber? Might it not
be well for Imperator Croker and Consul
Van Wyck and all the pro-consus from
Diver to Devery to give some thought to
that subject?

Wood Pavement.
From the Hartford Times

The city of Springfield will invest LOCO
this year on wood paving. 1t seems to be
believed that such improvements have been
made In the processes of treating wood as
to render it a desirable material for paw
ing. Very little wood pavement has been
laid in this country since the wasteful ex-
periments of Chicago and the District OF
Columbia quarter of q century ago Many
millions of dollars were thrown away in
those cities in the laying of pavements
which went all to pieces within year or
two after they were laid. The wood is now
subjected to elaborate treatment under
pressure. which is alleged to give 1t en-
durance. But the processes are expensive,
and hence Springfield's wood pavement is
to cost more than good asphalt pavement
would cost. There is a prejudice against
asphalt in Springfield and some of the
residents think that that atrocity, brick
pavement, Is preferable. For people who
like that sort Of thing a brick pavement
Is undoubtedly what they ought 10 have.
but it Is the cruellest thing in the world
for horses feet, and ought to be forbidden
by the state laws. Brick pavemcnts were
up to date" in southern cities. like Alex
andria, Va, "befo' de wah.' There is an
apparent desire on the part Of many of our
smaller municipalities to treat the whole
paving question as II it were necessary Cor
them to test every possible feature of 1t
for themselves. Five or eight years hence
the Springfield folks will know q lot about
wood pavement that other people know al
ready, but the facts will be greatly in
creased in value because they have been
'threshed OUT in Springfield. Mass.

A BOYS GUEST ARRESTED.
Young Host Forgot to Tell His Mother
About His Friend.

A special to the New York Times from
New Brunswick, N. j., says: The fifteen
year-old son Of Mrs. Sarah Lemming Of
this city, while celebrating the Fourth OF
July, struck up an acquaintance with Ser
geant James Kerr, who has charge of the
local recruiting station for the United
States army. The boy was much impressed
with the blue uniform and martial bearing
Of his new friend, and when night came in
vited Kerr home to spend the night with
him. Young Lemming assigned Sergeant
Kerr to a room without informing his
mother that he had guest. During the
night Kerr snored very loudly, and Mrs
Lemming, hearing the strange sound, got
up to investigate. Going the rounds of the
rooms, she found Kerr asleep.
Mrs. Lemming promptly telephoned for
policeman, and when the officer came he
hustled Kerr out of the house and up to the
police station before the sergeant could ex-
plain who he was. Young Lemming became
aroused after his guest had been removed
SO unceremoniously from the house and
started off in pursuit. He found his soldier
friend at the police station trying to ex-
plain how he had come to be in the Lem
ming house. Young Lemming told the po-
lice that Sergeant Kerr was his guest and
he was released. The boy promised to tell
his mother the next time he brought
friend home with him.

THINGS SHARKS WILL EAT.
Tales of RaccOOns, Fish and Tin Cans
Told by Fishermen.

Tales of RaccoOns, Fish and Tin Cans
Told by Fishermen.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The capture of a shark at Punta Rasa,
Fla, the other day set the people at the
hotel to talking about the things found in
the stomach of sharks.
All hands agreed in the first place that
not a single instance was known along the
Florida coast where man had been eaten,
or even bitten by shark. Hands had been
snapped at when dabbled in the water from
a boat, but the sharks were voted to be too
cowardly to attack whole man wading or
swimming.
Munson told of a big shark caught at
Cocoanut Grove after a slight struggle. 1t
had swallowed the bait so completely that
the hook touched the vital spot and it
came In practically dead. 1t was nine feet
long, and had supped upon live raccoon,
which 1t had probably snapped from the
was out after coon oysters. The raccoon
was big one, and seemed to have been
dead only a few hours.
Van Morne supplemented this story by
telling about shark which he cut open at
Punta Rasa, and which contained thirty
two young sharks, all alive and able to
swim away when put in the water. This
was case of man catching thirty-three
sharks on one bait.
George Schultz told Of the sharks which
gathered at Key West when the trans
ports and soldiers were there. He said that
many of the fish were caught, and often
their stomachs contained little besides
empty beef cans, which had been thrown
from the ships. In one case a pair of sus-
penders and a shoe were found in the
stomach of big shark, but nobody sus-
pected that he had swallowed man.
Huddlestone added his quota by telling
OF twelve-foot shark which was netted
Off Sanibel Island last year. He saw it cut
open, and can bring ablebodied witnesses to
make affidavit that the stomach Of the
creature contained three full-grown peli-
cans, seven king crabs or horseshoe crabs,
undigested, and more than two bushels of
mullets In various stages Of decomposition.
John Weber of Toledo said that he had
s. en- a shark take in all but the head of a
lJo-pound tarpon which was being reeled
In at Boca Grande. The body of the big
tarpon was cut through as if by a knife
and 1t convinced the narrator that a Boca
Grande shark could bite a leg off a man
with ease.
After all the other stories were told
Schultz modestly remarked that only a
lew years ago he saw a shark opened at
Punta Hasa and it's stomach contained the
most indigestibie parts of a Florida st eer
He found the horns attached to the skull
and the hoofs all separated in The fish. AS
a Florida steer is only a few times larger
than Kansas jack rabbit. this story
seems quite plausible.

War is Now Over.

A dispatch from Moundsville, w. Va,
dated yesterday, says: Ever since the
close of the civil war Richard PAUL, a
Union soldier, has been telling at camp
fires and when in a genial mood how Jim"
Reed, who wore the gray and who enlisted
in the confederate army from Tyler county,
had made desperate personal effort in
battle to take his life. He also declared
that until he met Reed and licked him
the war would never be over.
"Comrade' PAUL was at the SisterSville
demonstration yesterday, and on the boat
coming home he met Jim Reed for the
first time since they met in battle. Reed
recognized Paul and offered his hand, but
PAUL struck his old-time adversary in the
face.
Reed was daZed for moment, but quick
ly recovered and gave PAUL a sound beat

and big lump on his head He gave Reed
his hand after the battle was over, and
said he was satisfied to let the war be Off

Whttefish as Evidence.


The return Of the whitefish to the vicinity
of Chicago Is taken as proof positive of the
improvement in the water or that part OF
the lake due to the diversion Of the sewage
through the canal to the Mississippi river
and St. Louis In old times the fish were
caught near Chicago. Then as the sewage
poured in they moved away, and at last
went far beyond the four-mile crib at
which water for thelsuppay Of the city was
pumped. For miles beyond that there were
no whitefish. owathex have come back
to that point and e gooa many are being
caught there. There seems to be no doubt
that the return of the FISH is really due to
the pollution of the, water having ceased
They are about as fastidious in their TASTES
as trout, and 1t isIyeares since the water
that was thought good enough for Chicago
ans to drink has been good enough for
whitefish to live in, IT. may vet happen
that the minor pollHtion, of the lake from
small sewers and surface drainage will be
reduced to a point which win permit. the
case the moral of what has been seen now
cannot be ignored. u

ARMS AND CRESTS.
If Americans Must Have Them They
Must lse Them Discreetiy.
From the London Fashion.

l'uI the tcnuou dSuL'u
Heraidry, as We all know is the science
that arose out of the medieval fashion Of
wearing devices of various sorts upon
ones clothes and headdress. in order that
one might be distinguishable from other
individuals of the same rank in life in case
1t ever came to rough-and- misunderstanding
er in the tented field or in the tavern yard
of the middle ages Today the fashion of
wearing what have come to be known as
heraldic insignia has degenerated, as the
sense of color and form in clothes has de-
generated, until it has nearly reached the
vanishing point, or is, at any rate, even
to the small extent to which it is still
prevalent misapplied or wrongly used.
The modern drmigerous parsonage is con-
tent TO place his crest upon his harness and
his servants buttons. to paint his arms
upon his carriage door, or his hatchment,
or his marble tomb; to have it reproduced
on seal OF signet ring. on his bookplate
or his writing paper Now the reproduce
ton of crest and shield of arms. and even
of badge and device. upon seal or signet
nay be held to be perfectly correct. At
tacbed to a document. IL is a sign definite
ly attestng its originator. On bookplate,
too as being the seal of possession set
upon volume by its owner, such a repro
duCIion is correct.
The man of taste who possesses the right
TO bear arms and the knowledge of how
they should be borne will confine himself
TO welI-designed bookplate and three
seals-a large one with all his armorial in
sigma correctly displayed: a small privy
seal TO hang from his watch chain and en-
graved with his shield OF arms possibly
surmOunted by his crest upon a helmet
10 crest should ever be represented apart
from its shield. or except resting upon it's
appropriate helmet or northumberland.
as the case may be-and a sgnet ring
which should bear the shield only. or per-
haps cipher combined with proper her
aldic ensign or device. but not a
crest. Articles made of the precious
metals, too. such as a flask or
watch. may be engraved with some
heraldic device. But this custom may
be carried too far. and articles of derog-
atory nature should never be so ornament
ed Shields Of arms on college blazers
for instance, are more or less in their right
place, and the armorial device stamped
upon a book cover is as correct. So also
are arms worked upon tapestry or hang
ings and kindred articles, or painted upon
prOperly-shaped and sized shields and hung
upon walls But here We wander into
other worlds. removed from that one where
personal apparel there chiefly lives" and
until We return to the days of tabards and
trunk hose, or coat armor and heaulme
there will be little more to be said about
the personal aspect of bearing arms"
