WHAT ONE GIRL DID.
Ministered to the Necessities Of Poor
Woman and Her Child.

The husband of Mary Campbell, colored
woman living at 80 Fenton street northeast,
went away to obtain employment two
months ago. leaving the woman entirely
destitute Meanwhile the only child Of the
couple, about a year old, was taken sick
and lay at the point of death, and the poor
woman herself was in such physical con-
the parties Of whom she rented her rooms
vacated the house, and then the agent ap-
peared and notified her that unless she was
out of the house by 3 o'clock the following
day her goods would be pitched into the
street AT this point Miss Bessie Graves, a
young girl. whose mother died nearly year
ago and who lives with her father at A K
street northeast, heard of the case. With
out a moments hesitation she went to see
the woman, found that herself and child
were actually starving. She supplied them
with food and then started out among her
friends and soon raised money enough to
rent @ room, which she did, and hired two
colored men to move the goods. She went
among her acquaintance with a basket and
soon brought In food enough to supply the
present needs of the woman. Saturday
morning the child died, and 1t devolved on
Miss Bessie to attend to getting the death
certificate, an insurance Of 50 and engage
an undertaken. She bought some white
goods and lace and with her own hands
made a finer outfit than the poor little
colored child had ever worn when living,
and bought 1t pair Of white slippers. All
this was done SO quietly and unostentatious-
ly that very few knew anything about it.

CITIZENS APPEAL TO JUDGE.
Effort to Prevent Violations of Law il
Prince Georges County.

Judge George c. Merrick has been ap-
pea1ed to as judge of the court Of Prince
Georges county, Md, to call the grand
Jury in special session for the purpose of
investigating certain charges made in re-
gard to the manner in which business is
being conducted by the keepers of some of
the resorts at Chesapeake Junction. The
appeal was made by a number of residents
Of the county whose homes are in the vi
cinity of Chesapeake Junction. In letter
sent to the judge the signers make a num-
Der Of allegations concerning alleged vio-
lations of the laws in the county and state
that now is the best time to make the
investigation, as the evidence is more easily
obtained during the summer than 1t Is
after the close Of the season.
The next regular session of the court will
not convene until October
1t Is reported that Baltimore and Wash
ington sporting men have recently been
negotiating for the purchase Of land in
Prince Georges county, on Central avenue,
not far from Chesapeake Junction, for the
purpose Of establishing a pool room such
as Is in operation in Alexandria county,
Virginia. Residents of the county who
heard Of what was going on called upon
one of the persons interested in the pro-
posed deal and informed him that he might
expect prosecutions under the gambling
law as soon as the sale begins Of pools on
horses. One land owner gave the informa-
ton that he would erect a high fence on
his property, which would prevent a short
cut being made from the cars at Chesa-
peake Junction to the pool room, and would
station a man guard with shotgun, if
necessary, to prevent trespass.
The proposed transfer of the property in
question has not yet been made, and the
outcome of the deal Is anxiously awaited by
the residents of the county
Constable William Radke of Prince
Georges county was arrested Saturday
afternoon on this side of the line at Chesa-
peake Junction because he had revolver
in his pocket. Policeman Foley arrested
him on complaint of third person. Today
Mr. Radke filed an affidavit in the Police
Court setting out that he had the weapon
on him by reason of holding a commission
as constable, and the charge against him
was nolle pressed by Prosecuting Attorney
Pugh
1t is reported that eleven warrants have
been issued against the proprietors of three
resorts at Chesapeake Junction, and that
the cases are to be heard Wednesday morn
ing before Magistrate Carr at Hyattsville.

COL. McKAY'S WILL.
Rumors as to Why It Has Not Yet
Been Filed,

The will of the late Col. Nathaniel Nc
Kay, concerning which there has been so
much comment the past three weeks has
not vet been filed for probate with the
register of Wills here.
There is considerable diversity Of opinion
in Washington regarding the value of Crl
McKay's estate, the amount being vari-
ously stated at from $500 900 to over 81, 900,
CO., There has been a rumor current re-
Gently to the effect that for various rea-
sons Col. Mckay, several months before
his death. transferred temporarily a large
portion of his property to other parties to
be held by them at Col. Mckay's option
This rumor, however, cannot be verified at
this time.
1t iS also stated that the deferred filing
of the will is for the purpose of effecting
a compromise with Col. Mckay's favorite
niece, who of late years, it is claimed was
the confidential adviser of the deceased
financier, for whom, it is intended, Col
Mckay ttended to provide by leaving ner
substantial share Of his property. His
unexpected death, 1t is claimed inter cred
with this purpose, and no provision was
made for his niece.
The attorneys for the estate decliae to
make any statement in regard 10 the
rumors at present, and nothing definite can
be learned in regard to the matter.

FALLING OFF IN DIVORCES
Not So Many Suits Under the New
Code


There has been noticeable falling off in
the number of suits for~divorce filed in the
District Supreme Court since the new code
went into operation. Under the old law he
tween 40 and 45 per cent of the suits filed
on the equity side Of the court were pro-
ceedings for divorce either absolute or linn
tied. but since the operation of the new
code. which allows divorce for only one
cause. the number of divorce suits is only
about or 6 per cent.
1t is the opinion of attorneys that the
provision in the new law which allows alb
solute divorce only for infidelity is not the
cause for the great decrease in marital liti-
CATION. but the principal cause is that in
limited divorces. which are allowed, the
guilty party is prohibited from remarrying.
While the old law was in effect, it is said
that in a majority of the cases there was
more or less collision between the parties
concerned. and frequently no defense at all
was made Under the present law, how
ever. such a course would not benefit the
guilty party, for he or she would not only
lose a wife or husband, but would also be
absolutely deprived of getting another.
