A Letter From Judge KimbalI.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In an editorial in Wednesdays Star on
the subject of establishing the whipping
post for wife heaters in this District, it is
stated that 1.-The truth is that wife beating,
to confine the matter to the terms of the
Presidents recommendation, is an unusual
offense today, in any community" The
fact is that a day seldom passes in which 1
do not have one or more husbands before
me, charged with wife beating and hun
dredS of cases are tried in this District
every year, and there is crying need Of a
remedy, and in my judgment the whipping
post is the best punishment for that Of
tense in most cases. This class of offenders
are usually unable to pay fine and if pun
ished must be sent to JAIL where they live
the life which to them is perfect happiness
plenty to eat, warm place to sleep and
nothing to do; while the poor wife, in ad-
dition to being beaten, has her support
taken away and is the real one to endure
the punishment. l had a case today where
the wife a small woman, had been beaten
all over by her husband who was a large.
brawny man. She told her story to the
jury, who quickly brought in verdict of
guilty. The wife then asked me not to send
him to Jail, for she had two children and
she needed his support What could l do?
L had to grant the wfe's prayer, after CIV
ing him severe talking to, which 1 fear
made little impression on him, and 1 also
fear he will believe that he can beat his
wife whenever he wants to, and she will
get him off. Had / had the power to sem
tence him to personal punishment at the
whipping post and then to work to support
his wife and family some good would have
resulted.
1 am glad the President has made the
recommendation he did in his message and
hope The Star will use it's influence to Sc
cure it's enactment into law.
l. G. KlMBALL, Judge Police Court.

An English cousin was over for Horse
Show week and between riding her hunters
and driving four -in-hand and being a beauty
and sorting blue ribbons the New York
girl was puzzled about showing sufficient
and proper hospitality TO her foreign rel
ative.
For in some strange way the English girl
is much more foreign in New York than the
New York girl ever is in London. She regards
life as a social steeplecbase. and prepares
10 rideit by cloalsing herself In early English
tradition So in spite of her adorable voice
and kissable skin she is bit dreary in the
ring
The New York girl realized that the
social season wasn't on, and that, although
she liked the Horse Show. II was possible
that her cousin would find hall dozen
trips sufficient The theatre she herself
refused 10 take 30 early in the season, apd
no she planned for weelt of restaurant
merry making, OF public feeding and public
visiting.
Everybody was in town just for the week
and the smart restaurants were really
the place 10 introduce her cousin to the
women at luncheon, TO the young men at
tea, and 70 the older matronE, the old beaux
and the famous sporting men at dinner.
The first luncheon MAS on Tuesday
But who do we meet, and what do we
wearf asked the cousin when luncheon
wes mentioned. Hkni how cum We get haolt
In time for the afternoon show? II really
The sun., 1904-11-20

seems as though we should have TO hurry
1T seems 80, but we won't replied the
New York girl, 'for no one gets back TO the
show before 4 O'Clock. Oh, yes, 1t opens
sooner, but there are only Judges and horses
early in the afternoon, and they don't
count
THE horses don't count?- repeated the
visiting cousin. why, at Richmond we
go any sort of weather In any sort Of dress
to see the winners of red ribbons. We
wear our smart clothes II it's fine. Of course;
but il it's bad no one minds goloshes or
mackintoshee. and the horses are the real
show, and the Queen, OF course, IL she
chance 10 be there, Is stared at"
Il see,' unused the New York girl. 1T
all sounds very sensible and prudent and
uninteresting Over here we have the
show as an excuse to fill boxes 1t is really
the fell beauty market. and for New York
at least II has put out OF business the old
saying that marriages are made in heaven. "
my dear, really, beg Of you.' but the
gentle remonstrance for romance and re-
ligion passed UNDECIDED.
1t Is fact just the same. More OF our
set get engaged at the Horse Show than
any other time OF the year, not, of course,
including summer engagements, but
they're nothing. They're Just moonlight
affairs, and don't last, except yachting
proposals, which are little more serious.
But YOU really announce Horse Show
engagements and meet his people. II they're
in this country, and all his friends come
10 your box, and you're great belle for a
The sun., 1904-11-20

week at least
And then relief came to the Mortified
English cousin as the cab stopped at Forty
fourth street and all conversation ended
In the crowd Of women revolving from
street into vestibule.
But we haven't dressed from the
cousin in dismay at the gorgeous costumes
In the dressing room.
1T doesn't matter. Our crowd don't
dress as much Horse Show week this year.
They will very generally have luncheon
in morning frocks just as we are doing.
You'll see lot OF short skirts and plain
little turbans in the dining room. You see,
we dress as we choose in New York.
In the evenings, OF course, the dressing
will be sumptuous, but picturesque and
audacious and insolent rather than merely
servile, correct imitation OF foreign
standards. You see now that we have your
coronets we're no longer afraid OF your
criticism
And then slowly they were engineered
by the breathless head waiter past groups
OF beautifully and plainly frocked women
In various stages Of fury about unreserved
tables and tables away from the entrance
and tables in too sb ong q light, for the
smart Horse Show luncheon crowd 60 TO
see one another. TO nod or chat or gossip
from table to table, to visit about, and no
one wants a corner, or TO be in outdoor
light which is franker than small brothers.
Their own table was just under the centre
stream OF mellow yellow light with the
music as they glanced up and friends at

TROLLEY HONEYMOONS.
Advent OF Electric Cars Increases Marriages
I'm Towns Near Chicago.
Tro,n he CHICAGO Tribune

FROM the CHICAGO Tribune.
Near-Chcago towns have broken all RECORDS
In the matter of marriages during this much
of the year 1904 In Rockford during the ten
months up to Nov. ! there had been 6sl mar
riages. In the same period in 1908 there were
5e4, and In 1902 400
The electric railways are In measure re-
sponsble for the increase OF this class OF
business. There are now three lnteIuroan
lines centring in the town. They pring ih
hundreds of couples from other towns anu
from across the state line in Wisconsin,
The same increase is noticeable IN other
electric railway centres. Aurora, althoush
IL is not q county seat, gets great deal OF
business Of this class. The town Is now con
nected with Chicago, Joliet, ana an Oh tle
Fox River towns. the third rail system grid
ironing the most prosperous sec'iohs Oh tue
near-C Chicago territory.
The court officers are performing most OF
the out OF town marriages. Now ana then
a minister is hunted up and the ceremony
said in the parsonage. A Rockford minister
relates that recently Wisconsin young man
gave up his last dime to be married In his
parlor He had saved enough to carry him
self and bride back home on the trolley line.
But 10 cents Of his store OF cash remained.
He apologiZed 10 the minister Tor his not
being able to offer more, and when the parson
found that he was giving up his last cent
he refused to accept II, telling the blushlng
groom that lac was quite welcome to his ser
vices and insisting that he keep his money.
But the young Badger refused to do any such
thing: he laid il within the reach of the good
pastor and went of with his bride as happy
as II he was carrying with him pocketful
OF coin.
