MUST SUPPORT HIS SON.
Judge DeLacy Issues Order With
Penalty Attached.

On a charge of falling to support his
nine-year-old child, Gabriel Duncan, col
ored, fifty -eight-years old, was defend
ant in the Juvenile Court yesterday after
noon This Is the first case Of its kind,
it is said, to be brought in the newly con-
stituted Juvenile Court. At the conclusion
Of the evidence Judge DeLacy imposed
sentence of 500 fine or ninety days in the
workhouse, but suspended sentence on the
agreement of Duncan to pay $40 the 18th
of each month until the boy reaches the
age of fourteen years.
The cases of falling to support minor
children have heretofore sbeen brought in
the United States branch of the Police
Court; and at the last session of Congress
the law granting the Police Court juris-
diction to order husbands and fathers to
pay proper sums of money for the support
of their wives and minor children was
made more liberal. But the law creating
the Juvenile Court gave that court juris-
diction over cases of failure. to support
minor children.
Ollie Lyles appeared as the prosecuting
witness against Duncan. She testified that
he was the father of her child, Wilmont
failed to contribute to its support recently
Accompanying Duncan to the hearing was
his nineteen-year-ol bride and she was an
interested spectator to the trial.
II propose to make you and men like
you who fail to support their children, pay
for the proper support of those children, ;"
declared Judge. DeLacy in speaking to the
defendant. Following the declaration, he
imposed the sentence, as stated.

Faithful Porter in Star Composing
Room Passes Away.

Robert Crawford. colored. who had been
porter in the composing room of The
Evening Star for over twenty-three years,
died last evening at his residence. 1879 4th

arrangements have not yet been completed.

ices will take place Sunday afternoon at
his late residence.
Bob" as he was Familiarity known to the
men Of the composing room, was a faithful
employe. Throughout his long service he
was ever attentive to his duties.
Everybody liked Bob" and when the
news of his death was announced this
morning every man in the composing room
expressed genuine regret. During the past
years many Of the employees would send
Bob out at lunch time with orders for
lunch. sometimes as many as fifty, and
though he could neither read or write he
seldom made a mistake.
The immediate cause of "Bob's" death
was heart failure. brought on by throat
trouble, which he had complained Of for
some time. His wife survives him.

Bell Ringing.
ro the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The comments on bell-ringing in a late
Star recalled to memory some remarks
heard nearly forty years ago from a promi-
nent educator of New England. He visited
a large western normal school and made an
address to the gathering that assembled to
greet him. One topic was something like
this:
"Just now, while coming up the street,
heard the violent ringing of large bell.
thought 1t was fire alarm, but, no, 1t was
only the great bell on your building. They
said it was to call you together at certain
hour. Now, do you think that Is necessary?
Are there not good clocks in every house?
And do not most of you carry watches?
You are here to fit yourselves for the seri-
Gus business of long life. Do you expect
to be aided to keep all your appointments
by having some one ring a bell to notify
your Now, why would II not be a better
plan to let this bell-ringing stop and train
every young person to keep on the alert
watch the hour for his duties and be at his
post without the great bell?"
The same remarks are not inappropriate
to churches. The loud tocsin is relic of
the ancient poverty of the peasantry, who
had no timepieces. 1t was very well to
use 1t in those ages, but what is its useful
ness now2 AS a melodious event of the
Sabbath the ringing is a pleasant relief
from tedun, but call to worship Ii is
most unnecessary and decidedly ineffective

the court for the vacation of an order
requiring him to pay temporary alimony at
the rate OF $50 per month. If the order may
not be set aside Mr.. Dean asks that the

In refutation of the charge made by his

certain bruises on her body, Mr.. Dean tells
the court tht he discovered these or similar
bruises on his wife shortly after his mar
rage. To substantiate his claim he files
affidavits of three local physicians to whom
he applied for professional opinions as to
the cause of the bruises.
