LOADED FOR VENGEANCE.
Annual Rival Football Match as
Played by the "OIrish."
From Ideas

luea&
II was the day on which the annual
rival football match was TO be played be-
tween the Ann Sthreet Bhoys vs.. Raj
ferty's .slashers, and Rafferty,. the center
forward OF the Slashers. was just leav-
ing home for the match when Mrs. Raj
ferty called out:
DRafferty, have yez got yer shillalagh?'
"oi have replied Rafferty,, dealing a
thunderous bang on the door with it.
Thin put a brick insoide yer hat Re
member the broken head the Ann Sthreet
Bhoys gave yez last season."
Thank ye for the hint. Mrs. Rafferty,,

Petit Larceny in the Home.

a stranger in Washington, who >hac
come here looking for work, which ht
failed to procure, and who had moi
tasted food for four days. could moi
overcome temptation and stole a bot
lie of milk from a doorway. He was
watched, apprehended, and last Satur-
day pleaded guilty before Judge Pugh
who, under the circumstances, had to
fine the poor devil, remitting the fine
however, at once by suspension OF
sentence, as soon as humane bluecoat
had posted his honor as to the true
facts in the case.
Homes must be protected, and pangs
of hunger are no excuse in the eyes OF
the law, as it is writ; but, oh, there arc
so many butts What is the use of
enumerating them! An empty stomach
has more influence over mans con-
science than the strongest desire to
get something to do, no matter how
honest his intentions or how eager he
may be TO remain respectable.
This. however, is. only one side of
petit larceny in our midst. No one
will oppose Judge Pugh or criticisc the
leniency he has shown in this instance
The unfortunate vino succumbS 10
temptation because he is almost dying
of hunger deserves human sympathy.
The lawyers present at his hearing
made this plain when they, one and all.
put their hands into their pockets
But it Is quite different story when
dwellers in. apartments. for instance,
are robbed of whatever may have been
placed at the door leading from the
corridor to their private rooms for their
personal use.
Such larceny is so much more repre-
hensible, as there is no one to see the
little trick, no wstchful eye of the law
TO prevent IT, or TO stop it. Instances
have been reported to this Office when
the morning paper was purloined by
inhabitants of the same dwelling, who,
when fearing that suspicion may point
TO them, replaced the sheet just as
silently as IT had been taken.
Paterfsmilias nowadays looks for his
morning paper to appear with his break
fast He is anxious to know the news
and whatever might interest him before
he buckles down to his days work
Ours is a busy life. To rob such a
man of his more than pleasure, of his
chance to post himself while eating his
breakfast in order to save some of his
valuable time, is as much of crime as
if the guilty ono had stolen anything
else of his personal property.
Several years ago this taking of
papers from house doors created quite
a stir in this city, and sharp lookout
was kept to catch the thieves. This
had the desired result, and for a time
nothing further was heard of this form
of 'robbing thy neighborp There may
even have been some kind of an excuse
for those depredations Perhaps in
some instances then papers had been
taken by some one who was scanning
the advertisements in desire TO pro-

Sewage Commission Meets.

The State Sewage Commission of Prince
Georges and Montgomery counties met at
the Office of Mr.. Jackson H. Ralston, in
Washington. on the afternoon of June 18th,
and after electine Mr.. W. T. S. Curtis chair
man, Mr.. Jackson H. Ralston vice-chair-
man and Mr.. 7. Howard Duckett secretary,
entered into general and thorough dis
cussion of the sewage and sanitary question
as it affects those parts of Prince George
and Montgomery counties adjacent to the
District of Columbia line.
The purpose of the commission, which
was recently appointed by the Governor,
is to investigate and report to the next
Legislature the best means of providing G
sewerage system for this territory. 1t was
agreed that before any positive steps coulC
be taken surveys of the area involved
would have to be obtained. DR.. Welcf
and DIR. Price. of the State Board of Health
agreed to conduct this work through theiI
sanitary survey department and to furnish
the commission with maps as soon as prac
ticable. 1t is expected these maps viii
show the natural drainage area and enable
the commission to divide the territory into
sanitary districts and treat each district
separately. 1t is then proposed to deter
mine the population and property value Of
each district and lay out the sewerage
system after the commission has gathered
all the data necessary to permit it to act
intelligently.
Two committees were appointed as fol-
lows:
ITO determine and report upon the ques-
ton of the best available method of sewage
disposal" Mr.. Jackson H. Ralston. Mr.. L.
L. Dent. DR.. J. D. Morgan, DIR. VIM L. Lewis
and Dr. WEIGH, of the State Board of Health.

of taxation for sewerage construction, Mr..
