DYNAMITE FOUND.
Bundle Fished From the Eastern
Branch Yesterday Afternoon.
Go trashy spreads.)

While fishing from boat on the Eastern
branch yesterday afternoon D. E. Leslie of
I05 9TH street southeast snagged a bundle
and upon bringing it to the surface it was
found to contain five sticks of dynamite,
with caps and fuse A brick had been tied
to the bundle, evidently for the purpose of
Keeping the explosive under water. The
dynamite was wrapped in a copy of The
Evening Star dated October q last, and had
not therefore been in the water more than
month.
The package was taken to Bailey's boat
house. near the Navy Yard bridge, and the
police We're notified Today the explosive
was turned over to Harbormaster Sutton,
with instruction. to dispose of it. How the
dynamite happened to get in the river or
who put it there the police do not know.
It was found under the bridge, and had it
exploded there the bridge would undoubt-
eddy have suffered damage. The police are
satisfied that the bundle was dropped over
board from the bridge by a pedestrian or a
passenger on an electric car.
NO significance was attached by the po-
lice to the finding of the dynamite 1t is
their belief that the explosive was pur-
chased for use by farmer, and that the
purchaser became frightened and threw it
overheard where he thought 1t would do no
damage.

model the house at AS 18th street north

purposes and the upper stories for living
rooms She asked to be allowed to build
up the entire space of the lot. The Com
missioners have informed the applicant that
she will be allowed to build the lower story
over the whole lot, but that the upper sto-
ries must conform with the building regula-
lions and allow 10 per cent of space for

Homicide Through Neglect.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Religious zeal amounting to fanaticism
should be allowed to go to the most absurd
extreme SO long as 1t does not interfere
with life, liberty or property rights. But
when any religious sect undertakes to de-
prive the sick of physicians and medicines
1t is time to call a halt Every person OF
common sense will call In a medical expert
for every case of serious illness. Not to do
so may practically amount to homicide or
suicide. A parent or other person in charge
of an infant may be punished for neglect
ing it. Apparently the faith curist not only
violates the license laws. but he II guilty
of cuipable negligence In failing to furnish
medicines and medical aid for the sick and
helpless If religious enthusiasts are to be
allowed to experiment on the sick there
will be but little use for license law.

Indian summer Is about to open."

Indian summer Is about to OPEN"
While researching for certain data in the
Library of Congress, a few days since, the
writer happened to come across the follow
ing, apropos of the present subject, In
Thompson's History of Vermont, published
in 1872:
TT has been said, though %e do not
vouch for it's truth, that it was a maxim
with the aborigines of this country, which
had been handed down from time imme-
mortal, that there would be thirty smoxy
days both in the spring and autumn Of
each year, and that reliance upon the oc-
currence of that number in autumn was
such that they had no fears of winter set
ting in till the number was completed. The
phenomenon occurred between the middle
Of October and the middle of December.
but principally In November, and it being
usually attended by an almost perfect calm
and high temperature during the cay, our
ancestors, perhaps In allusion to the above
maxim, gave it the name of Indian sum-
mer."
Various other authorities also agree with
Mr.. Thompson, stating that Indian summer
date, but that 1t may occur ct any time
between the middle of September and the
list of December, and may-in fact, usually
does-last several weeks. The air is filled
with blush haze-much more apparent
when looking of to distance-and the
weather Is calm and settled, with little or
no rain. The haze is simply smoke or dust,
probably both, which hovers near the earth.
A change, with more or less winds, causes
this characteristic to disappear.
To the lover of the woods and fields In
dian summer is perhaps the most delightful
and enchanting season of the whole year.
All nature seems at rest; the trees have
fulfilled their mission and are fast shedding
their withered leaves; the wild flowers have
almost entirely disappeared. and all that
lends color to the prevailing browns are
occasional and sbelated sfrost-tinsed leaves Of
the maple sumac &c. Tha genial SUM-
shine and buoyant air. togeths~ with the
all-pervading feeling OF calmEess and rest.

The Strike Breaker.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

The million and half of men who COM
pose the American Federation of Labor I'M
derstood Mr.. Gompers when he replied to
President Eliot. 1t is true that, judging
from the press reports, Mr.. Gompers was
not as felicitous as many of us would have
him on all occasions; still, there was not
the slightest doubt as to what was meant
by the term strike breaker In this connec-
ton, and President Roosevelt is far re-
moved from a strike breaker as George
! Washington from Benedict Arnold.
The strike breaker is Well-known ee-.
ment In our present industrial life, and
more despicable creature 1t were hard to
conJure from very Sums OF the magma
ton. AT times he is a Hessian mercenary,
again merely tory; but always traitor
and an enemy to his fellow workers.
No amount of juggling with the data Of
etnlcs VIII ever make nero out OF a
traitor, no matter how much personal
bravery he may exhibit in the accomplish
ment of his treason.
The strike breaker proper, is a mercenary
furnished by the Pinkerton and similar
agencies. He is sent wherever there is
trouble-today he Is a motorman, tomorrow
coal miner. He Is not expected to work,
as rule. His presence in large numbers Is
intended to scare the weakened among
the strikers into returning to work, when
the strike breaker is moved on or turned
loose to resume his role of highwayman or
housebreaker He is lower in the scale than
| the non-union man, scab orSrat.
During the revolution, prof. Jameson says
many of the tories were patriotic in their
adherence to the crowns, believing that sep
aration Were suicidal for the colonies; yet
when the majority voted for independence
the high motives of the4oyalists stood them
| in poor stead when .theyofell into patriot
hands. AS the revolutions progressed they
We're treated with increasing harshness.
Iories We're ostracizedA and In some cases
tarred and feathered Fl Acts banishing them
and confiscating their property were passed
by most of the colonial conventions" And
l have no doubt that the President Eiiots
of the rebels" and lauded the traitors as
heroes" J. A. HENNESY.

ton. The royal party is due to reach
