Fined for Drunkenness.

Policeman Frank Howard of the fourth
precinct has reached the conclusion that
he is better policeman than he is mis-
sionary. He was informed that Amelia Lee
colored, had had a death in the family and
that she was doing the best she could to
drown her sorrow with rumo The police
man was disposed to overlook her conduct
shortly after the death, but Amelia was
patronizing the saloons so much that he
concluded he would do some missionary
work in her behalf.
Il advised her several times to stop drink
ing" said the policeman to Judge Scott
this morning, but she got worse instead
of better, and Saturday night her conduct
was such that had to arrest her.
Amelia denied that had been drinking

clared Critically Hurt.

trouble occurred until about the time the
game was to be brought to close.

Thompsons friends were in the game
with him and one of them, it is said. be-
came involved in the row with Bailey. 1t

then used the pick handle. Bailey is twen-
ty-seven years old and Thompson is five
years older He Is about six feet tall and
weighs about 40 pounds. During the in

Effort Made in Behalf Of Carroll Insti-
tute Dramatic Club.

A movement has been started for the
reorganization of the dramatic club of Car
roll Institute. The former dramatic club
connected with the institute became one of
the best known organizations of its kind in
the country. Many well-known actors and
actresses graduated from its ranks, and its
productions were quite as good as many of
the dramatic offerings of the local theaters.
The old Carroll Institute Dramatic Club
was the successor of the Lawrence Barrett
Dramatic Club, and contained many of the
same people, In the older organization such
people as Charles B. Hanford. David
Bangs, Helena Lackaye Wilton Lackaye.
Clarence B. Rheem, Frank B. Noyes. Anita
Hendrie, Ann Hathaway and James A. Ma
honey were included in the membership
When the Carroll Institute Club was form
ed the Lackayes, Anne Hathaway, Mr.. Ma
honey, Anita Hendr.e and number of new
aspfrants for stage honors came in. The
new organization was maintained with I'M
varying success for many years. and was
then allowed to wane because of the deser-
ton OF many of its members to the pro-
fessional stage. The movement to resur-
rect the club was started a few months
ago, and Mr.. William s. Mccarthy was
DESIGNATED to further the plans. Mr.. Nc
Carthy was one of the most prominent
members of the club in its best days, and
he pushed his work of reorganization SO
far that a meeting was held short time
ago when was largely attended, and dur
Ing the course of which such enthusiasm
was shown that Mr.. Mccarthy was much
encouraged. Another meeting will be held
Thursday evening. Mr.. Mccarthy is tenn
porary chairman of the new club and Mr..
John Sheridan Knight Is it's secretary 1t
is expected that a permanent organization
OF the club will be effected Thursday night
and permanent officers elected. Then some
steps will be taken toward making ar
engagements for a production some time
during the coming winter.
The regular bi-weekly meeting of the
Literary Society of Carroll Institute will be
held this evening at o'clock. An interest
ing program will be presented. The first
dance Of the season will be given Thurs
day evening, November II.

called to New Mexico by the illness of his
daughter. Mr.. La Mothe congratulated the
school upon still having for it's superintend
ent the man who had built it up during the
past twenty-five years. He read letters
from Rev. Louis G. Wood, now of Charles
ton, S. c., and Bishop Paret of Maryland
to the Sunday school, both of whom spoke

cred by Rev William r. Turner, rector of
the Church of ST. Michael and All Angels.

Hutchinson was presented with loving
cup of silver. DR.. NJ. F. Finley. librarian OF
the school made the presentation speech,
commenting on the devotion to duty and the
self-denial of the superintendent through
out his long term of service. Mr.. Hutch
inson accepted the tribute in few words

Separate Estimate Necessary.

The commissioners have decided to ask
Congress to appropriate a sum sufficient to
replace with asphalt the granite block pave
ment on Sd street between d and streets
southeast, in the vicinity of Providence
Hospital. This item has just been called to
the attention of the Commissioners, and
was not presented in time to be included in
the Commissioners annual estimates, so
that it will have to be presented to Con-
gress separately.
The Commissioners believe this improve
ment is desirable, in view of the fact that
the passing of wagons over the block pave
ment causes great annoyance and perhaps
serious disturbance to the patients in the
hospital. The last act of Congress appro-
priating for streets in the city limits di-
rected that none of the funds should be
used to replace granite block pavements
with asphalt.

mitted to the Commissioners a report rela-
tive to the complaint of the trustees of
Israel Colored NJ E. Church, at list and B
streets southwest. against being charged
for water used by the church. One of the
inspectors of the water department inform
ed the Janitor of the church that the water
would be turned off unless the bill against
the church for water used during the sum-

lions. and that every consideration has been
shown the church in question.

Two Addresses ron the Subject by
Kihachf fffrayama.

Aucm A114yAMa.
Two addresses were delivered last even
ing at the Keller Memorial Lutheran
Church by Kihachi HifayamA native jap
anese and the colonel of the Japanese "regi-
ment' of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation Of this city. The subject of both
addresses was Christianity in its relation
to Japan. Mr.. Hirayama is a graduate OF
the Harvard Theological Seminary and has
been in the United States five years.
In his first address, which was begun at
$50 o'clock, he said the recognition given
to women and children in the Christian
countries with which he was familiar had
made deep impression on him. Especial
~ was this noticeable in the United States
he said, comparing the conditions In this
country In this respect with those of his
own land In the manner of treating the
women and children may be found the best
example of the difference between Christian
ana heathen countries, according to Mr..
Hirayama.
He spoke of the ignorance and supersti-
ton of the eastern nations as being great
hindrance to the development of Christian
anese empire. he said, there were 10000
Christians. This number, he added, is divid-
ed into $1,000 Protestants. 600OO Roman
Catholics and 10000. Greek Catholics. He
urged that Christian missionaries try to
give their beliefs a strong hold among the
more educated classes in these lands They
have made the greatest Roadway among these
classes In Japan, according to his state
ments, while on the other hand. 1t is among
the lower classes that the strongest hold
has been obtained in China and other east
ern countries.
Mr.. Hirayama also said that the national
spirit of Japan demanded a Japanese Chris
tianity and not an outside or foreign
church. He also said that his countrymen
were slow to recognize UNCONVENTIONAL diff
ferences, being naturally moved by spirit
of unity.
The second address was devoted principal
ly to an exposition of the methods by which
Christianity had been introduced into the
east and the progress it has made there.
