ON CHARGE OF THEFT.
Stylishly Dressed Woman in Custody

gave her name as Florence Vernon, was
arrested last night by Precinct Detective

Of William A. Weeds overcoat. Both the
prisoner and Weed are from New York. It
Is alleged that they met in this city few
nights ago and went to a dining room,
where, it is charged, the money was taken.
The woman now in custody occupied q
room on Pennsylvania avenue near 7th
street. When placed under arrest she had
$3.50 and tewelry worth about $500 In her
possession. She denied that she had ever
been with Weed. This morning she was

CONSIDERING THE MATTER,
Believed That Justice Bingham Will
Retire Next Summer.

In connection with the rumor, reference
to which was made yesterday in The Star,
that Chief Jusetice Bingham of the SUI
preme Court Of the District Of Columbia
contemplates retiring from the bench in the
near future 1t may be stated authoritatively
that the chief justice has the matter under
consideration, but has not yet reached a
conclusion.
He has been eligible for retirement for
several years, but his desire always has
been to continue his active duties as long
as his health would permit.
The general impression about the city
hall is that Chief Justice Bingham will
leave the bench as soon as he disposes of
the considerable amount of business that is
pending in his court-certainly by the end
of June, the time for taking the usual sum-
mer recess,

The Odd Old Rhvme.

When we were children, long ago.
And played the games that we all know.
As fox and geese or hide and seek,
In summertime or winters bleak
We had the oldest way to find
Who'd be the fox or who would bliAd,
For someone stood up every tine
And slowly said this quaint old rhyme:
Monkey, monkey, bottle o. beer,
How many monkeys are there here?
One, two, three
out
goes
And when the last one was struck out,
Away we go with laugh and shout,
To scurry swiftly TO and fro
And make our tracks across the snow
And when we wished 10 change the game
We'd pick boy and let him name
Once more the old and simple rhyme
And step out just one at time;
Monkey, monkey, bottle o. beer.
How many monkeys are there heres
One, two, three
out
goes
he."
In after years, when youth had flown
And we to older men had grown,
We looked about us and found out
How Fortune tossed all men about;
We saw the tickle goddess stand
With moving lips and waving hand
And count out slowly every day
That simple rhyme the same old way:
Monkey. monkey, bottle o. beer,
How many monkeys are there heres
One, two, three
goes
he."
And when the heart beats faint and slow,
And when the hair turns white as snow;
When heads are bowed and backs are bent
BY irksome loads that life has sent;
When tottering step and sightless eye
Proclaim the end of life is nigh,
Old Death will stand there grim and gray
And say that rhyme the same old way
Monkey, monkey, bottle o. beer,
How many monkeys are there hereY
One, two, three
goes
