night was an address by Mr.. J. d. Balti-
more member of the faculty of the Arm

the qualities needful to make a good steam

of the steam engine and spoke of the mark
ed advance made in recent years In steam
machinery. He cautioned his hearers, first,
that they should have a thorough know

While on duty at Brentwood Sunday
evening Constables Robert L. Payne and
Wallace c. Raybold found white man
lying between the tracks of the City and
Suburban railway at the Hill street cross
ing. The man gave his name as Harry
Horn, and. according to the officers, was
so drunk that he could not move His loud
curslng attracted the attention of the con-
stables, who placed him on the next car
along and took him to Hyattsville. Had
the officers failed to discover him. it is re-
garded as certain the man would have been

Verdict for the Defendant.

The second trial of the case of Ida I.
Rockwell against the Capital Traction
Company resulted late yesterday in a YER
dict for the defendant. The plaintiff sued
to recover damages, claiming that her
signature to a release of the company from
liability for certain personal injuries re-
ceived by her in q railroad accident was
obtained by fraud practiced on her by d
representative OF the company. At the first
trial Justice Barnard took the case from
the jury. The matter was appealed and
the Court of Appeals held that it was
question OF fact for the jury to decide on
the alleged fraud.

Fun in Chasing Whales

The whaling bark John and Win
throp, Captain Shorey, reached port
early yesterday morning, forty-six
days from Okhotsk sea and twenty
six days from Dutch Harbor Her
cruise was marked with more than a
little excitement. She met with fairly
good luck and brought to port 5000
pounds of whalebone and $50 barrels
of oil.
Two whales that the John and Win
throp's crew failed to secure gave the
Wha]emen two thrilling experiences,
but by the greatest of good luck no
lives were lost in either chase.
One whale, which grows in size with
each telling of the tale of it's escape,
towed one of the blubber hunters
boats for many miles at a frantic pace.
When the whales endurance seemed
to have reached it's limit and the
whalemen were preparing to admins

DecoIIete Not in Their Line.

An amusing story is told of the
queen of Holland and the Misses Kuy-
per, daughters of the prime minister.
1t was the first court ball of the season
and the Misses Kuyper we're invited.
They had never been to such func-
ton before and at once the difficulty
of dress arose; low-necked dresses, of
course, must be worn, and the ladies
did not consider the wearing of such
dresses was consistent with their re-
ligious principles. They applied for
q dispensation, but the mistress of the
ceremonies replied CURLY to the effect
that there seemed to be no valid rea-
son for any departure from the time
honored custom Of the Dutch court.
Then DR.. Kuyper made a direct ap-
peal to the queen, when a compromise
was effected. It ended by the ladies
staying away from the ball, but taking
tea with their young sovereign the
same afternoon, when their high-neck-
ed dresses were, of course, the correct
thing.

}Wi1d Dogs Of India

Mrs. Nora Gardner describes an ex-
perience while hunting big game in
the central provinces of India as fol-
lows: 1--WE had been shooting for
some months and up to certain date
had had very good luck. Tigers and
other beasts were all plentiful, and
our bag was a good one. Suddenly
our luck changed. Blank day follow
ed blank day-not because we had
missed easy shots or had to reproach
ourselves for losing wounded beasts;
but simply that we had seen nothing
IN the shape of a wild animal to shoot
Pachmark, the hot-weather station of
these parts, was just above us, so
my husband and I, with few SER
wants and baggage coolies, started to
climb up the hill. He and we're rid
ing little in front when he drew nv
attention to a number of kites and
vultures circling in the air just ahead.
Here this, of course, meant carrion or
a dying beast of some kind, and we
sent on 'syce' to see what it was.
The man came creeping back on all
tours. Wild dog, sahib! Wild dogn

MY husband got his rifle as quick
ly as possible. He crept forward and

The First Penny Paper

The newspapers of a century ago
were very different from those of to-
day. They were serious sheets in
tended for business Offices and were
delivered by special messengers. The
man who first thought of a bright,
newsy and cheap paper is almost un-
known, says the Washington Star. He
was Horatio D. Sheppard, and, strange
to say, he was not a journalist. He
was a student of medicine, who used
to pass daily through Chatham street,
New York, where all sorts of things
were sold for few cents He noticed
that the cheapest articles sold most
readily. Nobody seemed to mind spend
ing cent. Suddenly the thought of
1-cent newspaper came to his mind
to be sold by boys, just as peanuts
and candy were sold.
Sheppard tried to interest the print
ers Of the town in his plan. They
laughed at it, as people laughed when
Fulton spoke of steamboat. To sell

Woman's Stand for Rights

The first recorded public meeting
in the interest Of "woman's rights"
was held in the town of Medford in
1901, says the Boston Herald. The
gallery Of the church was occupied by
the young unmarried people of the
congregation, one side and one-half
the front gallery being given to the
young women. But in the seating in
this eventful year the young men
were given the entire front of the gal
lery as we'll and the young women
were only allowed one side Of the gal
lery.
Then it was that things began to
happen. Treatment like this wasn't
to be tolerated even for a moment
The blood Of the .uture mothers of
the revolution was fully aroused and
the young women made such an up
roar and commotion that it speedily
became town matter and a town
meeting was called to restore to them
their rights in half of the front gal
lery.

He Was Too Previous.

Bishop Ellison Capers of South Car
DINA recently addressed a meeting OF
confederate veterans in Columbia.
In the couse of his address Bishop
Capers spoke of those men who de
ceive their wives, pretending that they
are detained late at their Offices on
business, when really they are spend
ing the evening at their offices or the
club.
These men, he said, ARE fewer
than the comic writer's of the press
would have us believe, but neverthe
less, here and there, they do exist
wish that they could all be caught as
nicely as one of them, a resident OF
Columbia was caught the other day
HE said to his wife as he was leav
ing home in the morning:
"'Oh, by the way, my dear, if I find
I canont get away from the works
in time for dinner to night I'll send
you a note by a messenger

that despite his clothes and peculiar

agreed to publish Sheppard's paper,
but insisted that the price must be 2

GAMBLING IN FORMER DAYS,
High Play an Important Feature OF
Enulish Societva Life.

English Society," Life.
We hear good deal Of gaming in
hares and other ways by society wom-
en- today, says the Liverpool Post In
former days many titled women not
only gambled, but kept gambling bells.
In 1745 the Baroness Mordington, who
kept one of these establishments in
the great Piazza, Covent Garden, ap.
pealed to the House of Lords on the
plea of her peerage to protect her from
the Intrusion of the law officers. Hap.
PLY the Lords decided that no person
is, entitled to privilege of peerage
against any prosecution for keeping a
gaming house. Perhaps the most no.
torious gamestress, however, was the
Countess of Buckin ghamshire, who, in
1897, was fined $50 for gaming, while
the man who kept the faro table for
her was fined 5000.
An extraordinary series of thefts
were perpetrated at the house of the
distinguished culprit, and the ruin of
many men was traceable to her estab-
llshment. Among the notable names
which occur in the list of gamblers of
the old days there comes at once to
mind those Of Lords Halifax, Anglesey
and SALISBURY. It was of this trio
that Locke tells the story of his sit
ting by and writing down the exple-
tlves they uttered as they sat at play.
Being questioned as to his occupation,
he replied to Lord Anglesey: "My
lord, am anxious not to lose anything
you utter"-an irony which made the
three ashamed and put an end to their
gaming

ter few finishing touches with har-
poons and bombs the big fish changed
it's course and headed for an ice field.
For more than mile it skirted the
ragged edge Of the pack, taking the
boat along at a pace that would have
satisfied Barney Oldfeld. Suddenly the
whale dived under the ice The boat
struck and shattered, and the jar sent
the crew sliding over the rough green
field of ice. Bruised, tired and disap-
pointed, the men were picked up by
another boat and taken back to the
John and Winthrop.
Another whale, with a whisk of his
f1uke, sent a boat flying into the air.
The occupants received bad scare
and a very cold bath. The boat was
smashed.
During the early part of the cruise
the John and Winthrop lost her rud-
der and was fitted with a new one at

nearly 300 yards away. He took a
hurried shot at the last in the pack
and missed. The rest galloped of
to the right, the one he had aimed
at going to the left. While we were
bemoaning our luck the *syce' touch
ed my husband. Look, sahib, he
comes back!' and, sure enough, away
to the right we saw the dog going
back to join the pack. How he cross
ed the track without our seeing him
is a mystery. He was already 200
yards off. My husband made a
most brilliant shot, and got the dog
just as it was crossing the bank to
the river
wild dogs are not only very shy,
but very cunning, and very seldom
shot. They do an immense amount of
damage. AS soon as pack takes pos
session of a jungle everything else
leaves it. Even a tiger will go if he
smells wild dog. This accounted for
our recent bad luck and the little
game we had seen lately. The one
we got was a young dog, rather like
fox, but with longer legs and body,
thinner brush and rounder ears.
There were six in the pack and they
were devouring young buck they
had just pulled down"

A Fable.


There was trouble among the stars,
In a vast dispute were involved,
And the question that was to be solved
Was which in the path in the sky
Should lead the procession on high?
Then interviewed the remainder of them
From the moon with her radiance dim,
10 the smallest whose CLEAN you may
trace
In the limitless bosom of space.
At length the dispute was declared
At an end. and the judgment was shared
And subscribed by them all. And they
said
1--WE have all agreed to be led
BY Saturn. and then shall come Mars
In the stately procession of stars
When they tried to fall into line
A hitch that they could not divine
InterpOsed. But never one saw
They were held in their place by a law
That could not be broken, although
They decreed that it should not be So
We may argue and make smooth on,
plan
In all OF the blindness of man;
Our Babels may build undismayed,
But the Immaculate Finger is laid
On it all! Though in purple We frame
Edicts and DEGREES in our name,
Yet still like the stars and the sun
In the orbit of nature we run:
For q churl will continue churl
And a genius of heart and of brain
In a garnet an emperor will reign!
