RECKLESS DRIVING.
Thomas Barton Fined $40 for Endan-
eeriug Life Of Child.

On a charge of reckless driving, which
threatened the life of little child playing
in an alley, Thomas Barton, colored, a
driver of huckster wagon, was before
Judge O'Neal in the Police Court today.
The court was convinced Of the reckless
driving and imposed a sentence of $50 fine
or sixty days in the workhouse. Barton
rode down in the van this afternoon.
Barton was driving a huckster wagon
through Aliens court southwest yesterday
afternoon. An oil wagon was standing in
the alley, and among those playing around
was the little son of Edward Young. Bar
ton was trotting his horse through the al
ley, and attempted to pass the oil wagon.
The child was caught between the fence
on the side of the alley and the front
wheel of the huckster wagon.
The father of the child saw the danger,
rushed to the wagon and with desperate
strength held it while a friend pulled the
child from under the wheel. The little boy
had been bruised ON his forehead and his
ankle was sprained.
Il didn't see the child or I should not
have driven there" said Barton In his own
behalf.
You ought to be thankful you are not
charged with murder" was Judge O'Neaps
comment "A fine of $40 is very light"

toms Requiring Medical Examination.

DR.. Joseph McOscar, forty-one years old.
whose home is at Waterville Lucas coun-
ty, Ohio, was arrested in this city this
morning on suspicion that he is insane, and
taken to the sixth precinct police station
to be examined by the police surgeons.
Several weeks ago. it is stated. the physi-
clan showed signs of religious mania, caus-
ing his family great uneasiness His wife,
thinking a change of scene and air might
benefit him, started with her sister and
children to take him on trip. They went
to Niagara and other places and reached
this city last Thursday. securing accom-
modations at 21S John Marshall place.
The doctor never attempted violence, but
would always do as his wife requested until
this morning, when his conduct annoyed
the family and proprietor of the house. The
latter sent for the police and had them
take him for safe keeping. Arrangements
were made to have the police surgeons
examine him later in the day and pass upon
the question Of his sanity.

DETERMINED CAMPAIGN.
Effort to Secure Better Lighting for
Brightwood Avenue.

1t is probable that an even more deter
mined campaign than has been undertaken
before Congress during the past three
years will be inaugurated at the approach
ing session of the Senate and House by
the District authorities and by citizens of
Brightwood and adjoining suburbs to Sc
cure better lighting facilities for Bright
wood avenue.
The intended advocacy of this matter be-
fore the appropriations committee was in
a sense forecasted by Walter C. Allen, cleo
trical engineer sof the District. today when
he spoke of the increase of $4,000 re-
quested In his annual estimates, recently
submitted to the Commissioners, in the APP
preparation for extension of the arc light
ing service. For three years Mr.. Allen has
regularly included In his estimates an item
of 5000. which it was intended should be
used for installing and maintaining cleo
trio arc lamps along Brightwood avenue
from the Rock Creek Church road to the
District line, but Congress with just as
much regularity has cut out the item.
Without the specifically appropriated
funds, Mr. Allen declared 1t was impossi-
Bile to extend the arc lamps further, but
he emphatically stated his sympathy with
the position in favor of the improvement
taken by The Star. and said that arc lamps
were probably needed more on Brightwood
avenue than on any other outlying thor
oughfare in the District. Mr.. Allen also
declared that he had frequently written let
tiers, explaining the whole matter to the
citizens associations of Brightwood, Ta-
koma Park and other suburbs, and they
have his assurance that as soon as the
money is available the lamps will be placed

Mr.. Sumwalt's Address
In his address Mr.. Sumwalt said In part:
1.-The two big questions before every one
of us tonight are What we have to DO and
How to do it. Both questions are easily
answered This world must be brought to
Christ. This society is not a social and a
fraternal body, but we are here to do the
duty of the apostles, bringing the world to
Jesus Christ. How are we to do 1t? The
first great need is enthusiasm. Those who
have been the pillars of the Christian re-
ligion have succeeded because they were
enthusiastic.
by enthusiasm / do not mean the clap
ping of hands or the stamping of feet but l
speak of enthusiasm which comes from the
heart, that spirit by which such men as
Wesley Luther and Knox We're inspired in
their great deeds. We must be in earnest,
and in earnestness carry the gospel to some
one near by.
American spirit to do things we'll and we
should feel that there is a sacred obligation
to do everything in the best way possible. +"
