PLIGHT OF LITTLE PICKANINNY.
Police Take Cnre of Child. Whose
Parents Are in JaiI

The youngest prisoner ever recorded on
a stationhouse blotter in the District was
brought into the Fifth precinct station
house last night by Bicycle Policeman
Bean, in the person of Pearl Simms, a
little negro girl, three years of age.
The story connected with the child's
arrest is pathetic one. Only a few days
ago its father, Zackarish Winfield, a we'll
known negro, living in the southeastern
section of the city, was taken into Gus
tody by the police and upon being ar
raigned for trial was sentenced to a
year and month in Jail on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons.
The father had hardly been sentenced
when the little ones mother, Pearl
Franklin Street southeast. was arrested
and sentenced to serve a month or more
in the workhouse. Thus 10 one was left
to take charge OF the child 1t drifted
around among the neighbors. and the fact
that it was not being properly cared for
reached the ears OF the Fifth precinct
authorities.
Bicycle Policeman Bean was sent ont
to investigate the matter and after hear
ing the details in the case, brought the
child into the stationhouse where its
name, age, together with the charge
against it, were entered on the big blot
ter. after which 1t was turned over to
the Board Of Children's Guardians to be
cared for.

LOOKING FOR MRS. THELoN
TheIon Leaves His Wife N
Small inhcritanrc

An effort is being made by the police
of this and other cities to locate Mrs.
Joseph Thelon, formerly Miss Annie
Anderson. of Sweden. to whom an iEheri-
lance of 81, 600 has fallen.
The estate was left by Joseph Thelon. a
veteran who died last week at the Hamp-
ton Soldiers Home.
Thelon served in the army from 1872
until March, 1882. when he was discharged
at Fort Douglas, Salt Lake City, Utah.
He came directly to this city enlisted in
the Signal Corps and was assigned to
duty at the Old quarters on G Street, be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Streets northwest.
He married Miss Anderson, whose peo-
pie lived at Bismarck y. D., at the home
of Joseph Collione a bookbinder in the
Government Printing Office. Two sons
were born, Etienne Stephen, and Oscar
Karl
He was discharged from the Signal
Corps in 1855. owing, it is said. to. in
temperance, and shortly afterwaru his
wife left him. and found work in Balti-
more as a domestic. Since then nothing
has been heard of her or the children.
Through the influence OF Senator Sew
ell. Thelon was admitted to the Soldiers
Home at Hampton. Va. where he seems
to have pruspered. and left about 81 900
in cash at the time of his death Mr..
I'll ellen has a brother Peter Boggs, liy-
ing at St. Paul, Mimi.

PORCH CLIMBERS
ENTER RESIDENCE
Quantity of Diamonds and
Jewelry Stolen.
Thieves Loot bureau in Bedroom on
Second Floor of n q Street Home
Police Have No Clue.

The residence of George w. CASTELAR,,
1854 @ Street northwest, was visited by
thieves last evening. some time between
and o'clock. Diamonds and jewelry
were taken to the value Of $3.50. The
police are wholly in the dark as TO the
identity of the thieves. 4 list of the
missing property will be sent out this
morning to various cities.
Work of Porch Climbers.
Indications point to professional sec
ond-story workers as responsible Tor the
robbery. While Mr. Casilear and family
were at dinner, it is supposed, the thieves
scaled the pillars supporting the front
porch. and thus entered the dwelling
through upper windows.
In front room of the second story,
usually occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. CASTELAR,,
was found a quantity of jewelry belong
ing to Mrs CASTELAR,. All of this was
taken, and the thieves, in ransacking
bureau drawers. left everything in the
room in more or less confusion.
JeUelry Taken From Bureau.
The missing jewelry was in one of the
drawers of bureau, which Vas closed,
but not locked. when Mrs. Casilear went
to dinner Early in their search, appar-
emily. this jewelry was discovered and
appropriated. Then the thieves searched
for more booty. but found nothing which
they cared to carry away with them.
1t is supposed they left the house by
the same method as that adopted in eff
fecting entrance. 1t was quite dark, and
no one seems to have seen them either
while entering or leaving the residence.
Discovered by Mrs. CASTELAR,.
Toward 8 o'clock Mrs. Casilear finished
dinner and made her way upstairs to her
own room. On entering she discovered
that a robbery had been committed and
word was Immediately sent to the po-
lice Detectives Weldon and Lacy were
sent to the house, where they made an
investigation.
They obtained a list OF the missing
jewelry, as follows: Gold ring, set three
diamonds, valued at $75: Tiffany ring. set
three diamonds, valued at $3.50 gold ring,
set sixteen pearls. SO: other rings and
two gold pins valued at S25; about $50
cash. and some small articles of jewelry.
The detectives noted the surroundings,
and II is said the robbery bore the un
mistakable stamp Of professional manipu-
lation. Nothing in the way of a clue was
left behind by the thieves. Every effort,
however, is to be made to round them
up and recover The stolen jewelry.

The District Commissioners some days
ago received from Mr.. w. b. kellogg a
request that he be allowed to pay the
proportionate amount of the assessment
against the east seventy-six feet of lot
of land taken for the extension of Co
lumbia Road, in order to permit the sub
division to be recorded by the contractors,
Messrs. Kennedy &. Davis, and that they

east of Thirteenth Street was condemned
and confirmed by the court, March 20,
1901. He says that the amount of the
of the assessment was $14, $50

to the same parties who owned the land
against which the assessment was made,
no part of the assessment having been
paid, except the south part of lot 4. block

acted upon before. and it is the practice

that the total amount of the assessment
must be paid before the subdivision is

Mr.. Richards states that bill has been
presented in Congress giving the Com

the Commissioners OF the District, sub
hitting a statement of reasons why per

FOR VIOLATING THE
SMOKE REGULATION
Washington Traction Com
pany Forfeits Snug Sun.
Appear in Court to Answer to
Twelve InformatiOns.

Lindley E. Sinclair, as superintendent
and general manager of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company, forfeited
collateral amc uniting to $500 when called
in the Police Court yesterday to answer
twelve different informations charging
him with violating the smoke law. The
warrants named four different power
houses of the company.
Judge Scott was disinclined 10 declare
forfeiture of the money without hearing
from Mr.. Sinclair. He said the amount
was not a trivial one, and that he de-
sired the company should have hearing.
Refused TO Appear in Court.
Mr.. Sinclair, when communicated with
over the telephone. replied that he did
not wish to appear in court, as the COM
pany had done all that 1t was possible
to do to comply with the law; that on
several other occasions he had explained
the position of the corporation, and it
would be useless to make further plea.
Mr.. Sinclair had hardly finished his talk
when Assistant City Solicitor James L.
Pugh was called upon by the Health De-
partment to issue another warrant, charg
ing him with violating the smoke law at
the Columbia Railway powerhouse. This
case will probably come before the court
today.

tees the case will not be taken up for

LINEMAN RESCUES A STRAY CAT.
Climbs Telegraph Pole and Brings
Tabby Down From Crosstrees-

Considerable excitement was created in
the neigbborhood of Ninth Street and
Florida Avenue northeast yesterday by
small, dirty-looking cat. which was
perched upon one of the crosstrees of a
large telegraph pole and whose cries were
heartrending.
The unfortunate feline had been chased
up the pole early in the morning by
couple of dogs, and after the departure
of the CANNES was greatly disturbed TO
find that it was impossible for it 10 come
down again.
Her shrill cries of meow" rang through
the streets all day, and she was surround
cd by groups of citizens who tried every
means possible to release her from her
position, but to no avail.
The Ninth precinct police were finally
appealed TO by some open-hearted citizen,
and they in turn notified Lineman Breen
of the District switchboard system, who
proceeded to the spot.
Breen fastened on his spurs and with
little difficulty succeeded in removing
kitty from her perilous position. He then
took her to his home, where she was
given wholesome dinner

ORDERLIES NEEDED At
WASHINGTON ASYLUM.
Dr.. D. Percy Hickling Favors
Appointment of Six.
RepOrt of Attending Physician on
Subject Forwarded to the Dis
trict missiOncrs.

DR.. D. Percy Hickling, visiting physi-
clan to the Washington Asylum Hospital.
recently called the attention of the Dis
trict Commissioners to the unsatisfactory
work done by the orderlies in the male
wards of the hospital.
He stated that the duties of an order
ly of hospital ward are most important,
and consist in handling bed patients who
are not seriously sick, also the bathing
of the same class of patients, the giving
of tub baths to male patients and re-
straining delirious or unruly patients, as
well as to do the stretcher work of the
institution and to have general supervi-
sion of the discipline of the ward.
DR.. Hickling observes that some of the
duties of the orderles are required to be
performed constantly during all hours Of
the day and night. The only provision
made at the present time, he says, for
the performance of these duties is from
the convalescent patients. two Of whom
receive S. per month.
Work Badly Performed.
at is needless to say" DR.. Hickling
work is badly performed and is source
of constant trouble. Acts of cruelty, ex
cessive indulgence in alcohol, and re-
peated acts of negligence and accidents
often occur, from which the patients suf-
fer. and from which they should be pro-
tected."
He recommends that six orderlles be
provided for. two for each male ward and
two for the new receiving ward, and that
the appropriation be made Immediately
available. These men should receive, he
thinks, S25 per month, and should not
sleep at the institution. This arrange
ment would require about twelve hours
duty from each orderly, and would give
each building a constant supervision and
be of great assistance TO the work of
the hospital.
The secretary OF the Board of Chari-
ties sent the letter TO the municipal au-
thorities with the recommendation that
an appropriation for six orderlies at S25
per moth be requested as a supplemental
estimate for the fiscal year 1903.

ALLEGES WIFE OPENS HIS MAIL

kins to Prevent 1t.
A petition was filed in the Supreme
Court of the District yesterday ty Dr.
Henry W. Haskins, in which he appeals to
the court to prevent his wife, Estell Has
kins, from destroying and in any way in
terfering with his mail.
He says his wife is prompted to take
and destroy his mail through pure mean
ness and jealousy. All the letters which
come to his Office during his absence, Dr.
Haskins alleges, his wife takes possession
of, and either destroys or hides them from
him.
This conduct on the part of his wife,
DR.. Haskins states. tends to greatly in
jure his business as a practicing physl-
clan. Often patients, he says, send him
notes and letters which require immedi-
ate attention and consideration. When
such fall into the hands of his wife, he
declares, she keeps them and he is LETT
in total ignorance of the wants of his
patients.

any way interfering with his mail or bust
