The Young Mems Christian Association
announces that Ralph Conner and F. Hop
.kinson Smith. the well-known authors, are
to be In Washington during the next ten
days, and will give two evenings Of read
ings which, it Is believed Will attract more
than the usual amount of interest.
Ralph Connor-or, to be more exact, Rev.
Chas. W. Gordon-makes/t the journey from
Winnipeg. Manitoba, where he is the pastor
Of church, to this city for the purpose of
addressing the mass meeting for men in
the Lafayette Opera House Sunday after
noon. In addition to this he has consented
to give an evening Of readings from his
own works Monday evening. This event
will be held in the First Congregational
Church, through the courtesy Of the trus-
tees of that church. Ever since BLACK
Rock appeared about four years ago, the
name of Ralph Common has been as widely
known as any novelist of recent days. 1t
has been said by some critics that he and
Ian McCiaren established style of writing
in which they excel.
F. Hopkinson Smith will appear In star

OF speakers. Stations Of the cross will be re-
cited each Friday evening during Lent Last
night. at the opening OF the special SER
vices. Rev. p. c. Gavin Of the Cathedral in

Messrs.~ Butler & Osterman. the local firm
to which was awarded the contract for the
erection of the public school in Good Hope,
today broke ground for the building. The
site is at the corner of the Hamilton and
Walker roads.
Catching stranded bass in Anacostia river
Is the pursuit daily engaged in now by men
in boats. The fish are unable to return to
the river proper on account fthe ice and
the water leaving the flats practically bare,
so that but little difficulty Is experienced In
landing them by hand. Two Anacostia men
Tuesday visited the scene in boat and
succeeded In capturing by hand twelve fine
bass, which when weighed aggregated
twenty-five pounds. Yesterday other men
did likewise. Some of the fish so stranded
are said to be dead. but are preserved by
the ice.
Preparations are in progress which will
result In the establishment of a reading
room in the waiting station on Nichols ave-
nue., Congress Heights. The residents OF
the town have long desired place where
the youthful members of the community
might meet and engage in innocent recrea-
ton. and for this purpose 1t has been de-
cided to put portion of the waiting room
to this use.

ANOTHER BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Rock Island Acquires Control Of the
Frisco Properties,

The New York Herald of today says: In
deal between the Rock Island railway
and the st. Louis and San Francisco, COM
pleted in this city yesterday. In which con-
troll OF the latter passes TO the former,
there has been brought into existence an
immense and powerful system. which COM
pletely changes the railroad map Of the
United States. and which by one stroke
places the great Rock Island system among
the first of the transcontinental properties.
Rumors which have been current for sew
eral days past OF change in control of
the Frisco as the st. Louis anu San Fran
cisco is commonly known, crystallized yes
terday In a statement that the Rock Island
had acquired control. and that the trans
action would be carried out through the
banking house OF ]. P. Morgan C Co. The
truth of this statement was admitted last
night by one of the most important inter-
ests in the Frisco management. It was
tacitly admitted by the members of the
Rock Island party in the city. and at the
Office OF J. p. Morgan & CO. 1t was said
that no announcement In the matter could
yet be made

THE SYMPATHETIC DODGE.
Charge of False Pretenses Proved
Against VIM. l.. Jones.

William l.. Jones. carpenter, who resides
at 1O11 Virginia avenue southeast, was ar
rested in the northeast section Of the city
at an early hour this morning by Policemen
Wall and Hayes of the fifth precinct on a
charge of false pretenses, preferred by
George Premier of 7O7 I street southeast.
1--WE been on a spree for the last two
weeks, and don't remember what has oc-
Cured during that time" was the plea
made by Jones when he appeared before
Judge Kimball of the Police Court later In
the day to answer to the charge.
The testimony Of Mr.. Prender and several
other witnesses failed to refresh the defend
ants memory and he still declared that he
did not remember of doing what they said
he did The evidence was to the effect that
he called on Mr.. Prender Tuesday of last
week and claimed that his child had died
during the night and that he was without
funds to pay the funeral expenses, where
upon Mr.. Prender gave him sum of
money. The next day Jones called at
building under course Of construction, where
he had been employed, and, with tears
streaming down his cheeks. told his fellow
workmen that he. had not only lost his
child. but that his. wife had died early that
morning, and that he did not possess any
money. The men sympath ized with him In
his double loss and took up collection
amounting to $31 80, which they turned
over to him. Some Of his fellow workmen
interested themselves in the matter, with
the intention of Aiding him further. but in'
vestigation revealed the fact that they had
been imposed upon and that Jones wife
and child were not dead. Complaint was
made to the police and his arrest followed.
"a man who would work upon the sympa-
thies of charitable people by telling false
hood, and especially one of the kind told by
this man. should be punished to the full ex-
tent Of the law" Prosecuting Attorney
Ralph Given said In addressing the court
after the evidence had been submitted.
Judge Kinrball fully agreed with the pros
ecutor, and imposed fine of 5000 on Jones.
with 1854 days in jail as the alternative.
