Robsou's Joke ON His Friend.
OF Stuart Robson II Is said that in
his youth he was an incorrigible prac-
teal joker. He was travelling I'm Eng
land with a friend. a small man called
Bill, one summer, and on the Liverpool
train Bill fell asleep. While he slept
Robson stole his ticket from his pocket
In a little while the conductor was to
be seen approaching.
Tickets, Bill! Get out your ticket"
Robson said.
Bill, after a frantic search, said,
with an oath. that his ticket was lost.
Robson then advised him to escape
paying by hiding under the seat. This
Bill decided TO do. and when the con-
ductor appeared he lay on his back on
the dusty floor quite invisible.
Robson surrendered both tickets,
whereupon the conductor said:
Here are two tickets. Where is
your friend. sir!"
Under the seat there" the actor an
swered. II don't know why he wanted
to avoid you"
The conductor. surprised, looked un-
der the reat. and Bill smiled at him
sheepishly and then crawled awkward.

AFTERNOON COSTUMES.

Hand painted muslins and chiffons
are the favorite materials for those
who can afford them. but good imita-
tions are to be seen i'm the printed nets
and mulls. Many OF the latter intro
duce chine effects, and these soft ma
terials lend themselves admirably to
gaugings and tuckings.
Rough hats of yellow straw are very
smart trimmed with black ostrich
plumes-

recently was OF white crepe de chine

THE PLAN APPROVED
RIGGS BANK PROPOSAL ACCEPT
ED BY TRUST COMPANY.
Fifteen Thousand Shares of Stock to Be
Issued on Approval by
Stockholders.

A meeting of the directors of the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company was held
today at the Office of the company, 1905 G
street. The proposition made by what is
known as the Riggs Bank interest to pur-
chase 1900 shares of stock of the COM
pany to be issued in addition to the out
standing stock was unanimously accepted.
1t was directed that a meeting of the
stockholders OF the company be called for
the 18th of May. when the proposition is to
be submitted for-their approval.
A large proportion of the stockholders
have already signified their approval of
the proposition-in fact, all that have thus
far been heard from have stated that they
were in favor Of the proposed plan.
Now that the directors have Endorsed the
plan, all that remains to make 1t effective
is the sanction of the stockholders. When
that is made a matter of record, which will
be the 18th of May. the new stock will be
issued. When this change is accomplished
the stock of the company will be increased
from H,2J0,O0O to 100000 and the sur
plus from 100000 to 81 100000. The pre-
MUM of $50 per share paid for the $1,000
shares of new stock and amounting to
$500, 0O0 will be added to the surplus. Two
thousand five hundred shares will be offer
ed to the present stockholders at par in
the proportion of one additional share for
every five now owned.

INSTRUCTED SEWER.
Response to Request Made by Fred. A.
Schmidt

Fred A Schmidt of 516 9th street north
west has requested of the Commissioners
that INSTRUCTED sewer connection of
premises 1916 street northwest in the
alley. be remedied The superintendent of
sewers states the writer should be notified
to clear his sewer, and if it should be found
that it is connected with the abandoned
basin outlet he should make connection
with the sewer which is very near and in
good condition.
NO portion of the main sewer in the
alley" says Superintendent McComb, has
been abandoned. In February. 1900 two
were not necessary for the drainage of the
alley, and complaints had been received
that they were out of repair The pipes
connecting these basins were also aban-
doned and closed at the connection with
the public sewer. The writer thinks that
the service sewer of the house in the rear
of premises 1916 X street was connected
with the basin connection and that the
closing of the connection has caused the
obstruction of the sewer, which has re-
Gently developed. The plumbing regula-
lions have prohibited the connection OF
house sewers with basin connections or
trap-laterals; therefore, IL such connection
was made it was contrary to the regula-
lions. The record of the permit office
granted October 16. 1884 to connect two
houses in the alley in the rear of 1914 and
1916 X street indicates that the permit was
granted under the usual conditions"

AGAIN UNDER ARREST
POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH COM
PLICITY IN ROBBERY.
Three Others Also Implicated-Hear-
ings to Be Given in the
Police Court.

Samuel Payne. colored. who was recently
dismissed from the police force and who
was suspected of completely in the theft OF
$3.50 from George Vigopsky of Wilmington.
Del, as heretofore stated in The Star, was
placed under Arrest this morningand charged
with robbery in the case mentioned. Three
other colored people are also held under ar
rest in the case. One of them. James Left
witch. was brought here from New York
Saturday and committed to jail. p
Joseph Jones was given a hearing in New
York Saturday and committed for trial
here. and Bertha Page will be brought here
with him from New York tomorrow. The
woman was arrested in that city Thursday
night and held in 81 900 bail on a charge of
having relieved a New Yorker of 81.
When Detective Muller went to New York
to take her into custody the prosecuting at
torney consented to enter a nolle pros. In
the case, as she expressed willingness to
return here tomorrow without demanding
a hearing
The New York arrests were at the re-
quest of Detectives Muller. Baur and Lacy,
who made the investigation.
Claimed to Have Been Dragged.
George Vigopsky is a Delaware farmer
who stopped here two weeks ago while on
his way from Wilmington to Cincinnati long
enough to take several drinks and get rid
Of his money. 1t was his claim that he
had been drugged and robbed. The infor-
nation obtained by the detectives last week
was that Payne who was then a member of
the police force, was seen in the stranger s
company at local hotel When called upon
for a statement he denied that he was there,
and the detectives did not hold him. This
was because of the investigation made by
Maj. Sylvester and Capt Boardman. They
heard the testimony of several persons and
concluded that there was not enough
against Payne to Justify them in holding
him on suspicion.
1t is alleged by the detectives that Vigop-
sky was taken by the parties under arrest
to house on G street southwest and re-
heved of his wealth. Capt. Boardman said
to a Star reporter today that the parties
who were arrested in New York deny that
the man was robbed, and say he gave his
money away. These defendants, Capt.
Boardman stated claim that Payne was
with them. The detectives have learned
where the Page woman got a 500 bill
changed in this city before she went to New
York, and say that Jones spent $50 for a
diamond after he reached New York, and
afterward pawned it for less than one-half
the price he paid for 1t. Payne will proba-
bly, be given a hearign in the Police Court
tomorrow.
