CHOKED BY A CHESTNUT.
Fatal Accident to Six-Year-Old James
A Reed

A chestnut hull lodging in his windpipe
caused the death last night at the Emer-
gency Hospital of James A Reed, the six
yearold child of Mrs. B. l.. Reed, VINO lives
at Cos 9th street northwest. The boy at
tended the Abbott School and was playing
about the building after o'clock when the
piece of the nut lodged in his windpipe. His
brother and several school mates were play
ing with him, but they did not become
alarmed until his face showed signs of be-
coming discolored. Then one of the boys
entered the school and informed a teacher
of what had happened. At the teachers
suggestion the boys took their companion
home. The boy was unable to stop cough
ing. Almost everybody who him
thought he had the Group, but he was able
to tell that his trouble had been caused by
a piece of chestnut. His condition became
so serious that he removed to the
Emergency Hospital. An operation was
performed. but the physicians were unable
to relieve the sufferer, who had became I'M
conscious about the time he reached the
hospital. DR.. Morhart and other surgeons
worked on the boy until the last breath had
left his body. Mrs. Reed, the boys mother
is employed in the bureau of engraving and
printing The boy was removed from the
hospital last night to her home from where
the funeral will occur probably Monday.

Free Coal.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In the editorial in Thursdays Star head
ed Free Coal present reaffirmations are
cited of the old democratic policy against
restricting foreign coal, and also the mo-
tives that would now, as heretofore, mill
tate against 1t in the coal-producing states
Can coal, as one of the chief items in our
natural wealth, necessarily limited in
amount, and not renewable when once used,
properly be considered in our tariff Iegisa-
ton as in the same category with agricul-
tural products, manufactured goods and
the like? Every ton of coal imported comes
from the other fellows tage-every ton
exported hastens the day when ours will be
exhausted. The money that changes hands
can be produced in myriad other ways
the ton of coal In only one; g. e., by digging
1t out of the ground. Why should we be
eager to dig it out now. use it up and buy
from the other fellow later? Why not buy
from him now Gf he is willing to sell
cheap and sell to him later? Whatever is
constantly used and not inexhaustible is
sure to continually advance in price.
Almost every one seems now to appreciate
the value of protective tariff in developing
home industries: but is this a home indus
try that it is profitable to the nation at
large to have developed? v. c. T.

try. The parish Is one of the wealthiest in
the United States and It's field of work is
wide Mrs. Roosevelt and children are Wor-
shippers at the church. and many prom-
nent society people of the national capital
are also affiliated with the parish.
The Rev. DR.. Smith is at present rector of
an important charge in Northampton Mass

cation greatly regret his departure from
that city.
He was born in New York city in 1860 and
is the son of the late Rev John Cotton
Smith, noted clergyman of New York His
early education was received in public and
private schools in his native city. He later
attended Amherst College, graduating from
that institution in the class of 1882. Hav-
ing decided to enter the ministry he took
up course of study in the Cambridge
Theological Seminary, and was graduated
In 1885. DR.. Smiths first charge was at
Beverly. Mass, where he served as rector
OF St Peters Church from 1885 till 1888,
when he was called to Trinity Church in
Boston as the assistant to the late Bishop
Phillips Brooks He served at Trinity
Church until 1893, when he was called to
St Johns Episcopal Church at Northamp-
ton, where he has filled the position of
rector OF that parish until the present time.
He has spent the last year in travel abroad
having but recently returned to this coun-
fr 10 Ill H.I
has three children.
Dr Smith is considered as preacher of
more than ordinary ability. He is a man of
pleasing personality and an energetic church
worker and 1t is stated he has been I'M
usually popular with the congrega lions
with which he has been affiliated
The members of the parish and vestry of
ST. johns seem very we'll pleased with the
selection of the new rector and anticipate a
successful and agreeable term of church
work under his direction.

Washington Barracks Improveme

The building of the new sea wall on the
banks of the Washington barracks has been
greatly interfered with recently by the un-
usually high tides, which prevented the put

In spite of this difficulty the work on the wall
is progressing and now about two-thirds of
the western side IS completed. The work
completed represents only about fourth of
the work TO be done. and it will be well
into next summer before the entire wall is
completed and the work of filling in the re-
claimed land is begun. Twenty or thirty
