Did Their Dutv Well.

One of the many squads which have heen
doing quiet, but excellent, work during
the strike is that under Sergeant S. a..
Weiss, III command OF picked men from
Company of the Seventieth Regiment.
Sergeant Weiss and his faithful men
succeeded the Howitzers as guard at tie
car barns at lakewood Cemetery. They
have given full protection TO the COM
pany's property. Sergeant Weiss devised
a little scheme which would place them
at an advantage to any persons attempt.
Ing to destroy any property committed
to their keeping They had occasion to
use 1t one night. and it worked admirably
Those with Sergeant Weiss were: Cor

MYstcrlouIY Shot.

Conductor Hamilton, one OF the now
employees of the Passenger and Power
Company, was rather mysteriously shot
In the hand yesterday with a revolver
near Sixth Street. Fulton. Tho wound
was apparently inflicted by the man him
self, though he alleges that he was shot
ir the left hand by some one else. Two
SLOTS were heard. and tho conductor
emerged Immediately afterwards from an
alley into which he had gone.
Two chambers Of q revolver which he
carried were empty. While no one save
the man himself knows the exact cir
cumstances or the cause OF the shoot
ing, tho circumstantial evidence that he
shot himself, either accidentally or In
tentionally Is apparently strong. Just
what his motive could have been Is not
clear. a severe flesh wound was in
tlictcd, which was treated by Dr. Sutton,
of the battalion headquarters, after which
the man went to the car barn.

SEVEN PINES LINE
One or Two Stone Thrown, But Things
Kept Very Orderly Otherwise.

1t is generally supposed that all armored
train among the kopjes Of Boerland looked
something like the Seven Pines car which
came into Richmond shortly after
o'clock last night. On the whole, 1t was
distinctly n picturesque exhibition OF the
privileges and advantages of latter-day
civilization In the old Commonwealth OF
Virginia.
The very name Of Seven Pines smells
Of battle, and perhaps in the days of 60
'G5 the cars. IL they had had any, would
have looked like they did yesterday. But
tho sight was deceptive to the eye. Trou-
bile was expected, but trouble came not.
and the evening closed without eventfui
happening. The last car scuddcd along
through the gathering darkness with Il
swordcd lieutenant upon the front step,
pcering into the fields and bushes as they
iiew by. and with its cleaning bayonets
brstlinE from the windows, and finally
pulled up with n start at the sheds, unable
to explain how 1t got there without being
dynamited or something OF the sort.
The much-dreaded line was opened In
the morning and continued In operation
until dark. The first car started about
S o'clock III the morning, and was hailed
with delight by many long-suffcring peo-
pie along the route. At Intervals Of an
hour other cars wore run. and for a long
time without incident of any sort. Each
one was we'll protected by soldiers. and
there were no demonstrations along the
line.
About o'clock in the evening a few
stones were thrown and one of them

BOARD OF CHARITIES.
1t Has Saved Much Money for the Dis
trict

Inc board of charities has saved to the
District during the last fiscal year nearly
$-ooo IN one branch of it's work alone
namely, that Of supervising the INDECENT
insane. Until the board of charities be-
gan by careful investigation and inteli.
gent effort to eliminate from the list Of
INDECENT patients at the Government Hos
p,tal for the Insane charged to the District
Oh Columbia those not properly entitled to
support at the cost of the District the
District was paying every year for large
number of patients not properly charge
able to it, chiefly non-residents, many of
them cranks from out of town. Other pa
tlentS charged to the District Of Columbia
mad relatives able to support them at the
asylum. and others still were properly
chargeable upon the United States govern
ment rather than upon the District govern
Tent. By returning non-residents to their
homes in the states to be cared for by the
authorities there. while requiring well-to-do
relatives to support patients. by securing
the transfer to the United States roll of
patients properly chargeable to it, the
board of charities reduced the cost to the
District of Columbia.
According to statement furnished Com
missioner mcfarland by Secretary Wilson
of the board of charities today the amount OF
the reduction during the last fiscal year was
$2l, 12O while the cost of returning persons
to their homes or legal residences was ST.
from the roll of indigents charged to the
District Of Columbia was ninety-six.
Eighty-five were non-residents returned to
the states, seven were transferred to the
pay list, and four to the United States roll.
This work, of course, continues.
Today Secretary Wilson handed Commits
sioner Macfarland and the latter trans
mitted to the collector of taxes a check for
1.121. Is for the cost Of maintenance Of a
patient committed to the insane asylum
August %. 1898, as an INDECENT patient
charged to the District of Columbia Since
her commitment" said Secretary Wilson,
she has received a considerable Inherit
ance. and through the attorney for the ad-
ministratrix of the estate we have arranged
for the payment Of this bill. The inciosed
check Is in payment up to and including
September 80. 1903. From that date the pa
t1ent Will be carried at the asylum as pay
patient. and payments will be made direct
ly to the superintendent of the asylum"
Commissioner Macfarland considers this
a good illustration of the economical phase
of the work done by the board Of charities
since its creation three years ago. Mr. Mac
farland said today that the economies eff
fected by the board Of charities in different
directions had already saved the District
Of Columbia far more than the cost of the
boards work
