YIELDED TO TEMPTATION.
Pearl Dimes Charged With Large
Number of Thcfts.

Pearl Dimes, coored, twenty-eight years
old, was arrested about 1 clock this morn
ing by Detectives Boyd, Parham and Har-
tigan and locked up on q charge of theft.
Shortly after her release from the peni-
Tertiary, not many months ago, she return
ed here and found employment at the Law
yers' Club, $50 Louisiana avenue. She
frankly admitted that she had been in
prison, but declared to Mrs. Rudd, owner
of the place, that she would be honest in
the future. Pearl was a good domestic,
and Mrs. Rudd who is always doing char
liable acts, gave her employment. She was
employed as housemaid, and had access to
all parts of the house.
Before she had been at work many weeks,
il Is said the woman yielded to tempta-
Gle she continued the depredations III so
systematic a manner that what she took
from the house was not missed. Two days
ago a young woman named Emma Moon
arrived here from Charlottesville, Va, and,
being unable to get employment, she waa
cared for at the house of detention. Mrs.
Rudd, learning of the womans misfortune.
went to the house of detention, saw her and
gave her position in the house TO tide her
over until she could get permanent posi-
ton. Early last night Miss Moons trunk
was forced open and robbed of SIG.
When the detectives learned of the rob
berry they at once suspected feafl, ana
visited her house in Madison alley. She
was not at home. and it was not until
about / O'Clock. that she returned home.
She was with her husband, and both We're

been in South Washington. Benjamin
Dimes, the husband, was also arrested.
but he was subsequently released.
Pearl was taken to the Police Court this
morning. ana while she was there waiting
for her case to be called the detectives Wis
tied her house and recovered about 800
worth Of alleged stolen property, including
knives, forks, spoons and articles of wear
Ing apparel. An umbrella taken from the
room Of David Noonan was also found.

Baireuth.
From the North American Review

From the North American REVIEW.
Bareuth is the last place to go to for the
ideal artist, and yet, though the Baireuth
performances are far from perfect, those
given elsewhere are always something of a
compromise in comparison. For In the Bal
reuth Treater, the singers chief difficulty
was solved by Wagner himself. By sinking
the orchestra in a pit he made it possible
FOR the singer to whisper If he wants to
(and that is not too often) and yet be heard
above the orchestra The effect of this
device is astounding; the orchestration Of
Tristan" which elsewhere may seem an
unwieldy mass of sound that forces the
singer to shout or stand agape. is at Bal
reuth fine lacework accompaniment full
of wonderful detail and capable of the
minutest shades. 1t seems to be the most
difficult of a conductors many difficult
duties to obtain a real piano from full
Wagnerian orchestra; for it is not until
every member of the band has got his part
thoroughly into his head, and on his fingers
or lips, as the case may be, that anything
approaching piano is to be hoped for. In
Tristan which Is very fully scored. there
are passages in which it is wellnigh i'm
possible not to cover the voice. How seldom,
outside Baireuth, does Isolde suco eed in
making herself heard all through the Lie
beStod!

ANACOSTIA ITEMS.
Plan for Avoiding Annoyance to
Northumberland Items.

Plan for Avoiding Annoyance to
Residents-GeneralI Items.
A plan has been brought to the attention
of the officials Of the Anacostia street car
company whereby, it is claimed, the an
noyance caused residents of Monroe street,
near Grant street In Anacostia, by the
shifting Of cars at the transfer station
there will be done away with, a quicker
service given on the line between Con-
gress Heights and Anacostia, and more
satisfaction given patrons generally In that
section, than is now the case. The propo-
sition involves the double tracking of Mon
roe street from the Anacostia transfer
point to the foot of the Nichols avenue
hill, the transferring to be done at that
place. It has been shown how 1t will not
be necessary to obstruct this point with
the cars, and a proposed shelter for pa
irons of the line has been suggested as pos
sible to be built on a convenient piece of
vacant land. The matter Is being carefully
considered by the officials referred to.
The Anacostia Orchestra entertained It's
friends at a progressive euchre party last
evening In Haines' Hall, Anacostia. A
large number Of people participated In the
playing. The ladies' first prize was won
by Mrs. William A. Pyles, while the gem
tlemen's first was secured by Mr.. Howell
Of Washington. Lesser prizes were also
given. The affair was brought to q close

cannot understand why larger wire Is re-
Guired for the latter method because he
does not stop to consider the decrease in
the rate of heat radiation which results
from the change. So, also, the presence of
weak or defective insulation may cause q
series of infintesimal leaks from wire to
wire, which, added together. assume finite
proportions and may result in adding to
circ cult burden entirely ignored in calcula-
tons of wire sizes.
To guard aga INST the overheating the in

wire is not infrequently used to replace
these fuses, thus defeating the object Of the

Prevalence of Smallpox.
From the Springfield Republican.

1t is evident that there are in the United
States more cases of smallpox than for
many years. But for our comfort let 1t be
be called, is not half so destructive as the
tuberculosis that we always have with US,
and is much more easily handled. Small
pox is, in fact, not formidable as the
grip, which has grasped the whole country
again and Is epidemic in New York city to
the point where 1t is veritable scourge
Vaccination and modern methods Of ,real-
ment have robbed smallpox of the greater
part of it's danger. But this prevalence of
smallpox emphasizes the need of careful
attention to vaccination throughout the
whole community. In no other way can it
be prevented from gaining q foothoIi.

Boys Mind Impaired.

James Norman, colored, fourteen years
old, from whose manner of talking it is
inferred he has been associated with Ital-
ians, was locked up at the eighth precinct
station this morning on suspicion that his
mind is impaired. The police surgeons
failed to find that he was a proper subject
for treatment at the insane asylum, al
though they decided that his mental con-
6ition Is not good. He will be turned over
to his parents If they are found.
Norman was escorted to police headquar-
tiers yesterday afternoon by several col
ored boys, who declaredi that he had es-
capped from a local reformatory. Norman
denied the accusation and declared he
would leave the county when released, as
the police were always after him. He
is a newsboy and has been in the habit of
selling papers in the business section of
the city When the police learned that
he was not wanted at any local institution
they released him. He then went to the
vicinity of Florida avenue and 7th street,
where he was arrested today.

TRACTION COMPANY AFFAIRS
THE CURRENT GOSSIP IN LOCAL FL
NANCIAL CIRCLES.
Bearing of Projected improvements
on the Understood Situation of
the Gas Company.

Since the recent announcement in The
Star of the plans of the Washington Trac-
ton Company to enlarge the electric power
pant at 14th and B streets, with the ulti-
mate purpose of making this the central
and exclusive source of electric supply for
the entire system, there has been good
deal of discussion in local financial circles
about the affairs of this company. The
information now comes from sources that
are regarded as authoritative that the
S60O,O0O, which Is the estimated cost of the
work planned to be executed in the near
future, will be available when needed 1t
l.; not known exactly how this matter has
been financed, but the fact that the money
is declared to be available is regarded as
an evidence of the resources at the dis
posal of those controlling these properties,
as Well as of their confidence in the future
of the entire enterprise.
Another important phase of this proposed
Improvement in the local financial world
was the unmistakable evidence afforded
that the Washington Traction Company
has no idea of parting with its electric
lighting properties. It was inferred from
the language of the bill recently introduced
in Congress authorizing an increase in The
stock issue of the Washington Gas Com
pany that there was some understanding
about the acquisition of the electric light
ing companies in the interests of the former
concern, or at least a belief that these
properties might come into the market.
Now, however, it is generally believed that
the field of possible purchase opened up by
this bill is limited exclusively to the
Georgetown Gas Company, concern whose
capitalization is 5000 shares of the par
value of SO, and market value. $50 a con-
troll of which is owned by those who are
Interested In the Washington company
The current gossip is also to the effect
that those who are most largely concerned,
financially, in the affairs of the Washing
ton Traction Company are not giving en-
enlargement 10 the inte ests that are gener-
ally understood to be willing to assume
the responsibilities of this undertaking,
and that, according to this view, there is no
proba bility of any change in the control Of

With electric lighting, the overheating of
