TRIAL OF MRS. BRADLEY.
Not Likely That Counsel Will Be
Ready Before Middle Of June.

The matter Of setting a date for the be-
ginning Of the trial Of Mrs. Annie NJ. Brad
ley, indicted for first degree murder in
connection with the shooting Of former SEN
ator Arthur M. Brown of Utah at the
Raleigh Hotel last December and his sub
sequent death, did not come up before JUS
tice Stafford today. It Is expected that II
Attorneys Wells, Hoover & Wells receive
certain information which they are looking
for from the west counsel will go into Grim
inal Court No. / tomorrow morning and
ask Justice Stafford to appoint the Tine for
the trial.
It is understood to be agreeable to the
court that the earliest possible date on
which counsel can agree be set for the
trial It may be the middle of June before
the defense can be prepared, owing to the
taking of a number of dispositions of wit
nesses, whom 1t was not thought necessary
to bring here. These dispositions, 1t Is
said, are necessary for the defense, and 1t
is thought the case will not be called until
all the depositions are In the hands OF
local counsel for Mrs. Bradley. ..
The date of May 20 has been mentioned
for beginning the trial. but for the reason
named it is not considered likely that the ne
over until next fall, in the event Judge
Orlando W.. Powers of Salt Lake City OF
counsel for the defense, who has been i'll,
is unable to secure the dispositions referred
to in time for an earlier trial.

LAST OF THE SEASON.
Proceedings at Meeting Of the Maine
Association.

The Maine Association held largely at
tended meeting, the last Of the season, at
its rooms at the w. c. T. u. building last
Saturday evening.
Mr.. Ben NARROW sang song of his own
composition. He was followed by Mr..
George w. Hall. Of the civil service COM
mission, who gave an illustrated talk on
Three Freaks Of Popular History"
when we see monstrosity, an object
that exists in defiance Of natural laws, we
call it a freak of nature" he stated. $50
when an erroneous belief prevails in def
ance of well-known or easily ascertainable
facts. it may properly be called a freak OF
history"
The first freak" mentioned was the So
called witchcraft delusion, for which the
New England Puritans have borne the re-
proach.
1.-The truth is" Mr.. Hall said, ''that the
Puritans were the victims and not the per-
secutors, and the witchcraft tragedy was
due wholly to the malignant jealousy OF
one man, hater of all things Puritan.
Rev. Samuel Paris. He attempted to rid
himself Of his Puritan opponents by maxi
Ing use Of the decisions of three or four
little girls, who had become half crazed by
the tricks Of a pretended sorceress, a slave
In Paris family.
But the freak which has done the great
est injustice is that by which the inven-
ton Of the Monitor Is ascribed to John
Ericsson. Ericsson had nothing whatever
to do with the invention of the Monitor
and was simply the constructing engineer
employed by the contractors.
'The inventor was DR.. Theodore r. Tim
by, now living in Brooklyn, at the age OF
eighty-ntne years, who first submitted his
model Of a revolving turret to the War
Department in 1871. HIS first design was
for system Of coast defenses. In 1S43 he
designed what he called floating battery.
In general appearance it was entirely like
the Monitor. Ericsson departed somewhat
from the original plan in building the sub
structure, the part below the armored
deck Timby protested that the change
would make the vessel unseaworthy, and
sure enough the Monitor went down in
about the first gale that it met. Timby
placed the pilot house on the top Of the
turret.
1.-THE third freak was the story OF Bar
bara Fritchie and her flag. The real
heroine Of that occasion was Mary Guam
trille, who now sleeps In a beautiful lot in
Glenwood cemetery in this city"
The meeting was closed with recitation
by Mrs. Isabella Chase Of Bangor, Me.

FISHERMEN WERE LUCKY.
Return With Long Strings Of White
Perch and Other Varieties.

The water in the Potomac river and
weather conditions yesterday were ideal
for the hundreds Of anglers who spent the
day on the water. Boatmen found 1t almost
impossible to supply the demand for small
craft, so many fishermen having turned out
with rod and line to try their luck. The
early morning cars going in the direction Of
Georgetown were well filled with men carry
ing bait buckets and other fishing parapher-
MALTA. and in the afternoon the eastbound
cars returned them to their homes with
thousands of white perch, few catfish
plenty of herring, and a small number Of
shad.
Anglers who failed to catch long strings
of white perch yesterday had bad luck
only because they were without the proper
ball. for with those who used soft crabs It
was merely a question of dropping the bait
In the water and pulling out the line. Sew
eral anglers caught herring yesterday. It
is an unusual thing for herring to take the
bait. but 1T is not an unusual thing for
them to be snagged at this season of the
year when they are so plentiful.
While most of the fishing yesterday was
done in the deep water about Analostan
Island and between the Aqueduct and Chain
bridges, many anglers sought the waters of
the Eastern branch and along the creeks
below the city.

lance Saturday.

The annual outing of the Union Soldiers
Alliance Saturday afternoon, with planked
shad dinner at Marshall Hall as an accom-
paniment, was in every way a delightfully."-
pleasant occasion. This unique organization
of one hundred veterans Of the war of the
rebellion has for a score Of years visited
Marshall Hall in May each year, with a
planked shad dinner and fraternal camp
fire as the object.
The occasion of Saturday was regarded as
the most interesting of the SERIES There
were four past national commanders CT the
Grand Army OF the Republic present, three
as guests, and Gen. s. g. Burdett, an active
member. The peroration in his address
was: II have requested that when my last
hour comes some one shall step to the

of my life, and play Yankee Doodle
Gen. John C. Black gave an Grafton in his
usual happy vein: Col. King. pension agent,
past department commander. gave a pa
triotic address, and Corporal Jim" Tanner
cheered his comrades in an Grafton on
camaraderie lines.
Col. HoratiO c. King, recording secretary
or the Army OF the Potoi-- &c, was voted the
orator of the occasion. His many interest
ing camp life stories was clfmaxed by tins
one. which struck terror to the only bach
elor member of the Union Soldiers Alliance:
"A maiden lady was asked why she did
not marry.

dog that growls. q parrot that swears and
cat that stays out at nights
The soldiers alliance was organized

those in good standing in the posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic, limited to a
membership of 1GO. The roster today
shows 81, by reason of the age limit
and those mustered out by death. There

their wives and daughters and invited

voted to be a delightful one

AT THE Y. II. G. A.
Lecture on Neglected Neighbors" by
Associated Charities Secretary.


Secretary Weller of the Associated Chari-
ties spoke on Neglected Neighbors' at the
Y. NJ. C. A. yesterday. He reviewed the
story of the good Samaritan and suggested
that Christianity is incomplete If 1t does
not lead to consideration and helpful serv-
ice for neglected children and adults in
whatever section of our city they may be
found
1t was urged that applicants for aid be
referred to the Associated Charities, whose
agents have the time and training to study
their needs thoroughly and to bring about
such charitable treatment as will prevent
their needs of further begging.
That neglected neighbors need much more
than mere material aims was emphasized
by Mr.. Weller, who told the stories of sew
eral typical families. AS an introduction to
volunteer service, the speaker recommended
the stamp savings system and invited the
young men of tie audience to give an hour
or two once a week to visiting q selected
list of families or q certain neighborhood to
collect the small savings of the people and
to bring In good influences and practical
helps toward self-help. Other lines of vol
unteer service were suggested.
After the meeting a dozen or more of the
men present offered to assist, and some OF
them made cash contributions toward the
maintenance of the work.
