JUST fl NEIGHBORLY ROW
Hagon Has Broken Ribs; lyoo
Charged Wllti Assault.
SEQUEL TO POLICE COURT TRIAL
Lyon Objected to Noises Made by
Hauan, lhe Latter Wanted to Fight
And tho Battle Came After Justice
Christian Had Imposed Fine.
Joseph Hunan linn a couple of
broken ribs and C. It. Lyon is charg?
ed with assault as a result of the
trial of the catio of iho Common?
wealth versus Hagau, before Acting
Justice Christian in tho police court
yesterday morning.
The trouble started Sunday, when
Lyon, who lives on Forty-second
street, took ids neighbor, lingua, to
task for making too much noise. Ha?
gau is said to have invited his neigh?
bor out for personal combat, and
Lyon, after starting to accept the
proposition, r< considered ami secured
a warrant against Hagau, charging
him with conduct calculated to pro?
voke a breach of the peace, etc. In
tho police court, Justice Christian Im?
posed a tine of *."> ii Lion Hagau.
In the afternoon Hagau, very much
dissatisfied with tho police court pro
ceedlngs, renewed his Invitation to
Lyon, and Oils lime the latter accept'
eil. When other neighbors had
pulled the pair apart, Hagau retired
to bis home for medical attention.
Later a warrant was .sworn out
against Lyon, nnd Justice Christian
will have another case to dispose of
this morning.
SMITH D. FRYE MARRIES.
One Time Customs Inspector Takes
A Bride in Baltimore.
Yesterday's Washington Herald
contained the following Item:
"Smith 1). Fry. formerly a Wash?
ington newspaper correspondent und
an employe of the auditor's division
of the Postofflco Department, ami
Miss Bleanor M. Hogers, of this city,
an employe of the same branch ot
the government service, were mar?
ried in Baltimore yesterday, only a
few of their friends being present at
the ceremony.
"Mr. Fry? left Washington last
year and. for a time, mrtdo ills home
at Newport News. Miss Hogers Is
well known here, where she had lived
some years. After a bridal tour, the
conide will go to Mr. Frye's home.
Tlie two became acquainted while
working in tlie audlt?r'8 department
of the postofllce."
For about a year Mr. Frye was an
inspector of customs in tho iocal
ofllce. He left here two months ago
for fJluefleid, Wost Virginia, to be?
come managing editor of a paper In
that city. He held on to his position
In the customs service for some time,
but It Is understood that he resigned
a week or so ago. The Herald ac?
count of the wedding makes no men?
tion of Hluollold, hut it is supposed
here that Mr. Frye is still connected
with the newspaper there.
Newest Leather.
How would you like to wear whale
skin shoes? That promises to he the
next commercial product, as experi?
ments with whale leather are already
meeting with some success. This
leather resembles kid, Is very thin
nnd tough and w. 11 take color readily.
Too bad, after all this time, to just
discover a use for the poor whale, \>3
sides Its bones and oil! What a sad
waste of material there lias been
since the whaling business started
rolling up fortunes almost a century
ago; nnd not only shoes but long
gloves, they sny. will soon he made
of the whale's skin. Kid and rat will
have to look lo their laurels if tho
women like if.
The Loaded Jinlkisha.
In "Paradoxes Of Nature and Sci?

for n distance ?f forty nil Ich or more

now easy to accept, In vlow of all wo
have lately learned of tho wonderful
endurance of the JnpiinoBo. when wo
are told, further, that the jltirlklshn
man, oven If In' wer,, to earn nothing
extra for tho extra work, would rath

The statement, however, is justitiell
by the mechanical facts. It is ens'er,
oll a level road which is In good eon
<litton. to draw die jiurikisha loaded
than to draw it empty. It dopends
upon the gain obtained by putting a
load upon wheels. Ii is far easier to
draw three hundred weight In a I ghl
truck along a railway platform than
to entry one hundred weight on the
back, making an extra weight for the
legs to support. The jiurikisha man
returning with his carriage empty, has
to carry his own weight on bis legs.
It would pay him well to gci part
of Ills WO gill off Ills legs on the,
wheels, even if they had to carry In ,
addition twice as much as they take
off his legs. Hut the jinrikishn Is not
built so that he can ride it ami pro i
pel it at the sumo time, as one does'
a bicycle or a railway trolley. The!
only way he run transfer part of Iis
weight to the wheels, while drawing!
(he Jiurikisha along the roads, is j.'y
leaning on the shafts.
