Halloween Parties.

Halloween is always hailed with
JOY by the hostess who wishes to en-
terrain formally and without frou-
frous. Decorative schemes bringing
into use autumn leaves and fall col
orngs afford a pleasing change and
are easily worked out. The October
numbers of the popular magazines
bristle with suggestions for the Hal
loween entertainer.
Although it is early for announce
ments, the Halloween of 1910 will
probably be an evening of gayety
and good times. Several of the clubs
of the city have made it a custom to
entertain on that evening, and will
no doubt choose Halloween as the
occasion for the opening of the com
ing winter social season.

A letter from the Rhode Island Citi-
zens' Association to the Commission
ers, received recently, bears the fol-
lowing:
The grounds surrounding the Lang
don School are in very bad condition,
and there is much need for grading.
There are many trees around the build
ing, and the grounds are surrounded
almost by a forest. and with proper
grading and care these grounds could
be made into the finest in the District.
There is an old abandoned we'll near
the building that formerly supplied
water for the school. and, while there
is a covering over the top, it is more
or less Of a danger and menace to the
lives Of our children to have it remain
longer in this condition, and as suf-
ficient material is close at hand to fill
the we'll, this should be done"
The association also urged teach
ers' retiring room. When the school
was built, twelve years ago. there was
no sewer connection, and toilet facilities
could not be installed. The inspector
of plumbing has now arranged for the
necessary conveniences, and they will

.FLEECED OF HIS ROLL
STRANGERS GOT $45S FROM
VIRGINIA VISITOR.
Worked One of the Oldest of Con-
fdence Games on Unsuspect-
ing Southerner.

A story told at police headquarters yes
terday afternoon by Clarence Davis of
Glenallen. Va. recalled to older MEM
bers or the force the days when conf
dence men had full sway here. The Vir-
ginian related that three men had in
weighed him into matching twenty-five
cent pieces in a room at the Raleigh
Hotel. and that they had disappeared,
one of them taking $45S belonging to him.
Davis reached this city last Monday
and registered at a hotel near John
Marshall place and Pennsylvania avenue.
Wednesday ne was seated on the coping
at the northwest corner Of Pennsylvania
avenue and eth street when stranger
spoke to him. He did not hesitate to tell
the stranger he was from near Rich
mond, and the latter said he was &C
quainted with people in Richmond
Claimed to Be Bricklayer.
The Virginian informed the stranger
that he was thinking of going to New
York, and that he was bricklayer by
trade.
$50 am l a bricklayer." the stranger
said, land I'm out of work"
Come to New York with me- Davis
told him, land 1 will see that you get a
job"
Soon a second man, a red-haired in
dividual, who said he was an Englishman,
appeared and was introduced. A drink
was suggested. The men had one in a
saloon on Pennsylvania avenue.
Davis said he would go back to Rich
mond and draw his money from bank
in order that he might have funds enough
to see him through his trip to New
York. Accompanied by Smith, the man
who first accosted him, Davis went to
here yesterday afternoon. The red-haired
man and a friend met them and the
quartet went to the hotel where the al
legged sWindlerS had taken room.
Gave Roll to Stranger.
A game Of matching quarters was in
dulged in and Davis lost what silver
change he had. 1t was then necessary
for him to get out his roll of bills. 1t
was the first time Lawrence and Hop
kins, as the two who were met yesterday
were known, had seen the roll. At the
suggestion of one Of the men, Davis
handed his roll to Hopkins to hold. Law
renee then said he wanted to get a check
cashed, and it was while he was pre-
tending he was looking for man to
cash it that those in the party became
separated.
Davis related his story to Inspector
Boardn1an and Detective Vermillion, and
furnished descriptions Of the trio. The
police are now engaged in search for
