ALLEGED ASSAULT.
Attorney Clinkscales Accuses Woman
Of Beating Him Over the Head.

Marion T. Clinkscales, colored attorney
is soon to appear upon the witness stand IN
a case of alleged assault. He called on the
clerk Of the court this morning. stated his
grievance against Lizzie Colen, colored, and
a warrant was issued commanding the
police to arrest her.
1t is alleged that the trouble dates back
t. time when the attorney and Attorney
Kicks, also coIored. had heated discussion
in the Police Court. AT that time, 1t is
alleged Clinkscales made statement
which attracted the attention of the young
woman who had been employed as a clerk
in the office of Attorney Kicks
II Is stated that Attorney Clinkscales was
seated in his home at 739 4th street last
night about o'clock, waiting for pros
pective client to call He had received a
postal during the afternoon from suppos-
ed Mrs Jones making an appointment with
him. The woman did not call at the APP
pointed hour and the attorney waited more
than an hour, thinking she might have been
uravoidably delayed
The door bell rang about o'clock, and
the attorney went to the door. where he
found small boy, who said he had been
sent thereby woman whose son had
beer arrested and who wanted him to come
to see her about the case. Leaving word at
home that he would be gone but short
time he started away with the boy. He had
gone only about one square and was near
the corner of Massachusetts avenue and
Sd street when he met woman, though
not client. 1t proved to be a woman who
had a grievance. and who dealt him n Sc
we're blow on the head, knocking him down.
Blood streamed from wound the woman
inflicted and almost blinded him. While he
was still upon the ground other blows were
administered
Being unable to get up while the blows
were being showered upon him. the attorney
resorted to the use of lung power. He
shouted murder police and fire, and a large
crowd soon gathered.
Evidently satisfied that she. had inflicted
enough damage, the woman departed before
the police arrived She was not to be found
when an officer appeared and inquired what
was the matter. Attorney Clinkscales' In
juries were treated In nearby drug store
and then he told the police OF what had
happened.
The warrant will probably be served in
time to have the case In court tomorrow

TRACKS TO BE REMOVED.
Excavation for Representatives Of
fee Building Half Completed.

About half of the excavation for the new
Office building for the House of Representa-
tives has been completed, but before the
rest of that work is done it will be neces-
sary to tear up the little railway that runs
across the east plaza of the Capitol in order
that the surroundings of that place may not
be marred when Congress meets next
month.
This little railway has for months been
engaged In carrying the eXcavated material
from the site of the House Office building to
where it is needed in raising the grade to
accommodate the union station and it's ap-
proaches north of the Capitol grounds
The award of the jury in the case Of the
condemnation of land north of the Capito,
grounds for an office building for the Sem
ate has not yet been accepted by the gov
eminent. and of course until that is done
that land cannot be touched for construc-
ton purposes.

A BALLOON FARM.

A Unique Business Carried on in
Western New York.
There is at present a general interest
ments of Santos Dumont are largely
responsible, and in view of this many
will read with more than ordinary in
terest the clever description of the
great balloon farm of Carl e. Myers,
| written by Chauncey McGovern for
Pearson's. "You would be inclined to
think you were dreaming" says Mr..
McGovern, 'were you to walk through
the farm Of Carl E. Myers, nine miles
from the city of Utica, State of New
York. Here can be seen, on constant
view, in summer time, a large variety
of aerial craft-airships that actually
fly, just as they do in the story books,
doing strange things that you had sup
posed could never happen in reality.
Besides the array of new kinds Of
air craft, it is fact little known that
every American-made hydrogen balloon
| in use in the United States-whether
by the government or by private indi-
viduals-is a product of this one farm.
Most striking among the things to
be seen at the balloon farm is a flying
machine that really flies, not merely a
working model of an airship that
flies few feet along track on the
ground, but fully completed flying
machine that scars into the actual
skies as high as any bird-a machine
that ascends. that turns and dives as
readily as an eagle does.
MANY other curious aerial vessels
have been turned out from the Myers
balloon farm, and some greater Won
ders are in course of construction 1t
is not only his own inventions that Mr..
Myers constructs on his balloon farm.
He makes all sorts of aerial contriv-
ances-scientific kites, freak balloons,
air vessels-for other inventors.
1.-THE greatest number of the balloon
farm products, however, are big hy-
drogen balloons"

Athletic. Harm College Girls.

Athletics Harm College Girls.
Women will never compete with
mems colleges in athletics. I see alb
solutely no possibility Of that ever TAX
ing place. The women do not seek
competition, and it would be of no
benefit to them. Women were not
originally intended for such violent
exercise as man, and some Of the
things that they 60 into must strain
them. For women to put the shot is
preposterous ~
There may be women living who are
made in such a strange and unnatural
way that it is not injurious for them
to put the shot. but for the majority
of women it would be enough TO Lurt
them for life. Boating, also, is bad
for women. Womens colleges do not
have crews to any great extent, but
the women who do go into 1t will not
last long in their athletic life. Wom-
ems athletics are good thing in mod
Grafton, but for them to try to do all
that their brothers do Is a mistake.
They can never attain to what the
men are doing and will only hurt
themselves in the attempt.-President
Eliot Of Harvard.

CITY CROWDlNG.
It Is an Important Factor in the
Present Growth of Crime.

It IL an Important Factor in the
Present Growth of Crime.
The modern crowding Of the popula-
ton into cities is a factor of the first
importance Enthusiasts extravagant-
ly praise the virtues Of country popu-
lations, and as eXtravagantly dispar-
age the moral conditions of Cities. Thls
excites contradiction, and in the con-
troversy the fact is overlooked that the
profound changes, some beneficial and
others pernicious, have been and are
being silently wrought by the aggre-
CATION into cities of so large part of
the population. We are entering upon
the third generation of hotbed city life.
The offspring Of those whose occupa-
tions are sedentary, who use s1mu-
lants. lead irregular and excited lives,
must, with few exceptions, suffer from
inherited irritability Of the nervous
system. An abnormal strength and &C.
centricity of impulse must be the re-
suit. and this is fostered by city life.
A lamentable change has passed
over the country with regard to the
learning Of trades. Most temperaments
require manual labor in the earlier
wears of active life, and much exercise
at all periods. Labor unions deter
mine the number Of apprentices which
NAV be taken, and this number is so
small that it is impossible for the large
majority of growing boys to secure
either the knowledge Of trades or the
physical and mental benefits of steady
employment. Counting rooms and shops
are crowded with applicants for every
vacant place, while thousands are left
to roam the streets. having neither
trade, profession nor knowledge of
business.
The struggle for success in society,
finance, politics, literature, applied
science and art grows more fierce as
the cities grow larger; the prosperous
have often paid too dear for the
whisne;;" those who fail are, according
to Temperament, respondent or desper-
ate, and the consequence is steady
procession to the sanatarium or the
prison. And the number Of neurotic,
romantic, pampered youth Of both
sexes is incompatible. If the country
often underesdmates, the city often
overestimates, and the prematurely
blase youth is in an abnormal con-
dition which feeds upon itself. Under
such circumstances the very qualities
which made a good man may make

DOES NOT INDICATE LAZINESS
Many Men of Great Mentality Have
Been Fat Men.

Many Men Of Great Mentality Have
Been Fat Men.
Fat is not an indication of lazi-
ness,' said William Bailey, of the Gov
ernment Printing Office, who is one Of
the fattest and squarest men in the
employ Of Uncle Sam. Il am not put
ting myself in the list or 'peart' and
'bra1ny' fat men, but if one will take
the trouble to look about him he will
find good many heavyweights who
are not poky and slow, and who are
fully up to the average mentally. Some
of the greatest men the world ever
knew were plump, even to obesity,
and Napoleon was one Of these. All
these fellows with the withered and
parchment look do not possess all the
brain by any manner of means, but it
is said that the men of letters in an
cient times looked this way because
they were poorly paid and consequent
ly lived on slim rat1ons I notice there
are number of very heavyweight lit
erary men of the present day, and I
am not disposed to say that this is
simply because they are better paid
and fare more sumptuously every day.
There are a few Of the hteratti who,
like Sandery, flavor their crust with
thin slice Of bacon taken from a mouse
trap. DR.. johnson was feshy, even to
clumsiness, and so was his biograph-
ical shadow, Boswell. Balzac, the
great French novelist, was SO stout
that it was a good days exercise to
walk around him; and he was encir-
cled with bandages, as though he was
a hogshead. Rossini, the musical COM
poser, was regular Jumbo, as big as
big Winnie" and for seven years he
never saw his knee. Lablanche was
charged three fares when he Travelled,
and Jules Janin, the prince of critics,
had chin and cheeks which protruded
beyond his whiskers. And so a whole
list could be given. Lord Byron and
Eugene Sue, the author of 1.-THE Wan
dering Jew" so dreaded becoming fat
that they took lemon and vinegar to
prevent it, and many fat people of
the present day are taking something
o: the kind to prevent too much flesh.

he weighed 737 pounds, and 1t re-
