Give the Horse n Chance.

To the EditcT Of The Evening Star:
Those Of our citizens who have suf-
fcient supply of coal will do the horse a
kindness if they will refrain from ordering
more until the streets are in better condi-
ton. The last few days have been unusual
ly hard on draught horses. Many of our
horses are overworked at all times. Any
admirer Of good horses who has visited
London will not have failed to notice the
well-cared-for draught horses. They are
worked hard and required to draw heavy
loads. but they are not hurried. Don't hurry
the horses when drawing a heavy load A
horse will work ten or twelve hours per
day for many years if handled by careful
drivers, If not loaded too heavily and not
driven too fast.
When about to start a heavy load give
your team a chance to get good foot
hold. 1t may save sprain-perhaps a balk.
About year ago noticed a finely match
ed team of browns hitched to delivery
wagon. If l Lad not seen them several
times since l would hardly recognize them
now. With careful handling they would
have done good work for ten or fifteen
years, but overworked and driven as they
are another year will almost kill them
Faithful animals! Cruel owners or drivers,
or both! J. X III

FOR GREATER WIDTH.
CommissiOners Make Report on Wis
cOnsin Avenue Bill.

The District Commissioners have made
report to Congress on Senate bill 2o53. pro-
viding for the widening of Wisconsin ave-
nue., or Tenleytown road, to width of 10
feet from its intersection with 9th street
to the District line. The bill provides that
upon the dedication to the District OF 10
per centum of the land necessary to make
the road 100 feet wide proceedings shall be
instituted to acquire the remainder by pur-
chase or condemnation.
The Commissioners express the opinion
that rs per centum of the land will come
To the District free of cost by reason OF
donations from time to time as new sub
divisions are recorded. AS to the acqu1si-
tion of the remaining p per cent, this be-
ing made up of subdivided property, some
oG which is built upon, it would seem equl-
table, the Commissioners think, that 1t be
acquired as provided for in the bill, the es-
timated cost of which is $4,000. If no do
nations are made, the estimated cost, ac-
cerding to the report is s175,O0o.
The Commissioners state that they are
in favor of the widening of this avenue
as provided in the BILL and would like to
see the improvement accomplished. fhey
express regret, however, that on account
oe the present state of the District finances
they cannot see their way clear to recon-
mend the expenditure

PROMINENT DIVINE DEAD
REV. WILLIAM j. MCKNIGHT, DID,,
PASSES AWAY.
Man of Years and HonOrs-His Active
Career as Minister of
the Gospel.

Rev. William ]. Mcknight, DID, died
last evening at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Jane Mex Goode, 2012 10th street.
DR.. Mcknight suffered stroke of paraiy-
sis Wednesday, the second within year.
and although he possessed an amount OF
vitality that was surprising he was unable
to resist the weakening effects and SO
passed away. The first stroke came last
year while he was in Florida, where he
had been in the habit of spending the win
tiers for a number of years past. He had
never entirely recovered from its effects
His wife and four daughters survive him.
DR.. Mcknight was well known in church
circles in this city. where he had spent the
greater portion of the years of his retire
ment from the duties of permanent
church pastorate. AS minister Of the
Presbyterian Church he was frequently
called upon to officiate in the churches of
that denomination, and in that direction
as well as in purely missionary effort, he
gave freely of his time and thought.
DIR. Mcknight was born in Mecklenburg
county, North Carolina, seventy-three
years ago. In futherance of a decision
which he made at an early age to devote his
life to preaching the gospel he entered
the Princeton Theological Seminary, where
he finished the second year of his course
with high honors.
Seeks a Mild Climate.
Being obliged, on account of his health. to
seek the milder climate of the south he
entered the Theological Seminary at CO.
lumbia, s. c., where he completed his
course and graduated in the year 1852.
His first pastorate was the First Presby-
terian Church at Darville, KY, and later
he became the pastor of the Second Church
of the same city. Soon after he was settled
in his first charge. in the year 1855, DR.. Nc
Knight married Miss Susan Ham of Ken
lucky. Subsequently he was called to the
church in Arundale. Ohio, and then went to
Springfield. Ohio In the latter place he
was in charge of the First Presbyterian
Church for six years.
For thirteen years he was pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of New Bruins
wick, n. j., beginning his service in that
place in the year 1880. Nearly nine years
ago he gave up the eXacting duties of the
active ministry and made his residence in
this city.
Even in the retirement which came with
advancing years DIR. Mcknight was able to
respond to many calls, and his work espe-
cially in Florida, was of that character
which carries the gospel to those who are
without it. He was a man of high ideals
and faithful and devoted minister, and an
affectionate husband and father. When In
the city and not engaged in discharging the
duties of his profession he was an attend
ant, with his family, at the Church of the
Covenant

JOSEPH E. HAYDEN DEAD.
Former L. s. Consul the Victim of
Heart Disease.

Mr.. Joseph E. Hayden. formerly a repre-
sentative of this country In Italy, died Of
heart disease at his home, 9S5 H street, last
night. He had been confined to his room
about two weeks, being afflicted with a car
buncIe his neck. This undoubtedly
hastened his death.
Mr.. Hayden was a native Of California,
but came to this city at an early age. Az
ter a short service in the patent office he
was appointed assistant United States dis
trict attorney during President Hayes ad-
ministratfon. Subsequently President Har-
rison appointed him consul at Breslau,
Germany. He remained there two years
and was then made United States consul
at Stockholm, serving there an equal pc
riod when he was transferred to the con-
sulate at CaStellamare di Stabia, Italy.
. After four years efficient service at that
post he, last October, returned to his home
in this city. His wife and four children
survive him. Funeral services will be held
at the Sacred Heart Church, Mount Pleas
ant, tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.

THE CODE RESPONSIBLE.
Statement of Police Court Judges He
specting COMMITMENTS.

The intendant of the workhouse recently
reported to the District Commissioners
that more prisoners were being sent to the
workhouse than formerly from the Ponce
Court and proportionately fewer to the DIS
trict Jail. The matter was referred to the
judges of the Police Court, who have re-
piled, stating that under section 934 of the
new code in all cases, either on the United
States the District side Of the court,
where the Imprisonment Is six months or
less. confinement must be served in the jail
or Workhouse We have thought 1t best,
their letter states 'to send such cases to
the workhouse because of the fact that en-
ployment- is there given to prisoners, while
at the jail the prisoners are idle and have
nothing to take up their time. Such jail
Imprisonment is. in our judgment, not to
the best interests Of the prisoner. If the
Commissioners desire to temporarily
send such prisoners to Jail on account Of
the limited capacity of the workhouse We
would be glad Of such an intimation.'
