tired from riding hard race, or from
the pressure and tension of crowded

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The boys who fought the Civil War
and the girls who waited for them
grew up in days of widely varying
fads and amusements.
Many sidelights' on the age, which
history has passed over, are found in
the files of the Broadway Clipper for
1856, the only extant copy of which
has just been added to the rare book
collection Of the Library Of Congress.
It was the theatrical and sports
magazine Of the age, giving in great
detail the current stage news, the
goings and comings of actresses and
actors, the weekly prize fights, the
earliest base ball games, etc.
Washington Trailed as Sports Town.
Washington, it appears, was not
much of a sports town and it re-
ceives only occasional notices in the
theatrical and scandal columns.
Abolition talk was in the air and
invading the stage. The Clipper was
indignant about 1t and protested:
1.-THE hot-corn nonsense has finally
reached Washington. A little affair,
supposed to be seasonable, called
Border Ruf1ans, or Kansas Shrieks
for Freedom has been produced at
the National"
And it told of comedian named
Riley who has, it is said. married a
niece of the United States Senator
Woodbury.. No doubt members Of
the lady's family feel very riley"

He noted an appeal from his convic-
ton and was committed to the District
Jail pending determination OF the
appeal.
In freeing Whitaker today, Justice
Daniel w. O'Donoghue pointed out he
had actually served about two years
in Jail, the equivalent of the maxi
mum sentence imposed. The Court
of Appeals had recommended that
Whitaker be given credit for the time
spent in jail in view Of the delay IN
the final settlement of the case.
Looking at the substance OF the
law and in view of the circumstances
brought to nv attention, am going
to release Whitaker from the sentence
imposed in this court with the under
standing he Is to return to Florida
to serve out the sentence imposed
upon him there" Justice O'Donoghue
said.
Whitaker was arrested in the Fall
of 1892 and served six months in jail
before being brought to trial. He re-
mained in Jail until the latter part
of July, when the Court of Appeals
upheld his conviction. Means was
given a similar sentence in the con-
spiracy case, but under the law this
was made to run concurrently with a
15-year sentence imposed in another
case against him arising out of the
ransom hoax.
In his request to the court, Whit
aker complained that the food served
him and lack of exercise had impaired
his health. He asserted that IA
months in the District jail under
these conditions is equivalent to 10
years in the penitentiary."
Whitaker also has been forced to
give up his favorite indoor sport,
chess, because jail authorities will not
permit him to have other inmates as
opponents. He formerly was chess
champion of the District of Columbia.
Whitaker has been at the Jail since
his conviction in May, 1888. Means
served some months in the jail and
then was transferred to the Federal
penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa.
