The Old White Meeting House.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The New England newspapers are la
menting the gradual disappearance of the
old white meeting houses that were once
the distinguishing feature of the towns and
villages of that region. They are being
torn down and replaced by more modern
structures built after some Gothic design
or maybe patterned after some early En-
glish model. But with all the ambitious
features of the latter they awaken none Of
the thought and sentiment that the old
white meeting house. with its spire rising
from a grove of trees, created.
This is true not only of New England
but of the rest of the country as WELL The
old church buildings are rapidly disappear
ing from the landscape 1t is true that
many Of them were unsuccessful efforts at
architecture. They often justified the
criticism of the Irishman who said of
American architects that they puts up q
front to the street like ould Westminster
Abbey, but thin they thinks to chate the
Lord and makes the back part shabby"
And the railroads and new turnpikes have
brought many of these backs into greater
prominence than the fronts to the mortffi-
cation of later generation. But there are
some of these old white church buildings
still standing as mementos to the happy
choice of an architect or to the fact that
there was at least one man with taste and
culture ON the building committee.

CHARGE WAS DISMISSED.
Policeman Shipley Failed to Show He
Was Assaulted.

Richard Bates, cOlored was in a pitiable
condition when he appeared before Judge
Mills in the United States branch of the
Police Court today to answer to a charge
of assault preferred against him by Police
man Joseph Shipley of the second precinct.
His clothing was torn and covered with
blood, while one sleeve was missing from
his coat. Bates right eye was tightly
closed as the result of a severe cash beside
it, while his head, which had been cut in
several Places was bound up in bandages,
the wounds having been first closed with
numerous stitches. The mans wife, who
appeared in court to testify behalf of
her husband was also injured on the head
at the same time as was her husband. Po-
liceman Shipley, the complainant had a
wound on the top of his head in which six
stitches had been taken, and which it was
alleged had been inflicted by the defendant.
According TO the evidence given by the
government witnesses Bates, who resides in
Fenton place. was arrested about midnight
Saturday by Policemen Bartemen and Ship
ley for creating disorder. The last named
officer entered Bates home for the purpose
of taking him into custody, and according
to the evidence a struggle ensued between
the two. during which the colored man
struck the officer on the head with lighted
lamp, inhicting wound and setting the
house on fire. Barteman went to the other
officers assistance after the lamp was
thrown, ana Bates Wl1e also look nanQ
In the mix-up, and was injured on the head.
Bates and several of his witnesses de-
clared that the officers forced their way
into his house. and without saying word
began to beat him on the head and about
the body with their clubs. Several of the
witnesses for the defense declared that Of
ficer Barteman hurled the lighted lamp at
Bates. but they were unable to account for
the wound on Shipleys head. Bates denied
throwing the lamp and explained that he
did not know who did, or how the officer
was hurt.
Judge Mills, after hearing all Of the evil
dence, decided that Bates was not at fault
and dismissed the charge.

STORIES OF LAWYERS.
Amusing Anecdotes Of Celebrated En-.
glish Barristers.

from Blackwoods Magazine.
Apropos of witness and counsel,
think the most scathing retort that
sver read was the following. which saw
n some country newspaper report OF an
lssize case: counsel had been cross-ex-
,mining a witness for some time with very
title effect, and had sorely taxed the pa
fence of the judge. the jury and every one
n court. At last the Judge interviewed with
IN imperative hint to the learned gentle
nan to conclude his cross-examination. The
counsel who received this judicial intima-
ton with very bad grace. before telling
he witness to stand down accosted him
With the parting sarcasm: 'Ah, you're
lever fellow. very clever fellow! We can
IL see that!' The witness, bending over
rom the box, quietly retorted Il would re-
urn the compliment-if 1 were not on
,ath!'
Another story is told in the same article
# Edwin James, famous barrister who
vas disbarred for unprofessional conduct
Just he was about to be made solicitor
general. Edwin James was noted for his

lived in some West End chambers. for
which the unfortunate landlord could never
succeed in obtaining any rent. At last he
had recourse to an expedient which he
hoped might arouse his tenant to a sense
If his obligations. He asked him If he
would be kind enough to advise him on
little legal matter In which he was con-
,erned, and. on James acquiescing, drew up
statement specAying his own grievance
against the learned counsel and asking him
20 state what he considered the best course
for a landlord to take under such cOndi
tons The paper was returned to him the
next morning with the following sentence
;ubjoined:

nits of only one remedy: Patience.-Edwin

Police Seeking to Discover His Assail-
ants

Can't. Boardman was notified this after
noon of the serious illness at Garfield Hos
pital of Henry Mccullough. colored, of 1925
Madison street. The man was admitted to
the hospital one week ago, Capt. Boardman
was informed by DIR. Davis. four days after
he claimed he had been assaulted He had
a slight injury to his head but the bruises
did not indicate anything serious. There
was no indication of a fracture or con-
cussiOn and the story of the assault did not
attract much attention. The mans con-
dition. it is said. indicated that he may
have suffered fro man affection of the kid
neys. He told the doctors at the hospital
that man named PAISLEY was on Pennsyl-
vania avenue with him on the 7th of the
month and that they were assaulted by
two other men. 1t was during this alleged
assault he stated. that his head was in
tured. This morning when there was
change for the worse in the patients con-
dftion the police were notified and Capt.
Boardman detailed Detectives Helan and
Hartigan to make an investigation. The
officers went to the hospital to interview
the sick man and they also went in search
of his friend, PAISLEY. The latter, it is
stated. lives on M street northwest The
police have been informed that the mans
serious condition may be the result of
shock.
