was by his own act that he went to prison. II e
was not prepared to go to the full length to
say that man once sentenced to death or i'm.
prisonment for life forfeits all right to his wife
and children, but that did not determine the
present case. He should decide II from the
welfare the court would have for the child.
From the manner in which the indenture was
procured, he should regard 1t rs no authority
at all, and 1t was better for the child that IL
should be with the mother. The child was re.
stored to its mother.
THE MOTHERS JOY.
AT this juncture the mother, who had b cen
sitting directly facing the Judge, with tears in
her eyes and trembling for the verdict seized
the littlo one, also crying, In her arms and,
kissing IL fervontly, started to leave the cham

the decision were manifested, but promptly
checked by the officials
Mr.. Miller wished to know, in case the child
was abused, what would be the consequence.
The court replied that IL the mother should
ill.treat the girl, and he was informed of the
matter be would attend to it,
Mr.. Miller then wished to know If the
grandmother could not be allowed to visit her
granddaughter and have her come to sec her
at times.
His Honor then replied that he would max e

be best for them to remain apart.
Mr.. Miller then gave notice of an appeal.
This closed the proceedings, and the parties,

Reflector, ON s,reet Lamps.

A trial of the American street.light reflector
was made last evening on several lamp-posts
on Fourteenth street, between q and II, under
the direction Of Mr. +. W. Jones, the agent.
The rodcctors are small plates of silvered glass,
and arc attached to the burner, one on either
SIDE In such manner as to form an angle, with
the light at the apex. and tho plates slanting
downward. The object Of the invention Is to
throw the light from the post to point be.
yond the present line of bright light, thus
oqualizing tho light between tho posts and
producing, IL is claimed, an increase of light on
the line Of street which cannot be otherwise
produced, except by a much larger consump-
ton of gas A number of gentlemen interested
In the matter were present at the test. A
comparison of the light when tho reHectors
were used and when not used was made with
the aid of their watches. IL was found that
with the refectors the figures on the watch
dials could be read at point at least twice rs
far from the post as with the ordinary burner.
An effort is to be made to have the invention
introduced In the District.

Colonel Casey ON the water supply.

Senator Dorsey presented to the Senate yes
terday communication from Colonel Thomas
i. Casey, United States Engineer in charge of
the Washington Aqucduct, in reply to a letter
from the Senate District Committee asking
him to give his views as to the best means Of
giving the residents of Capitol Hill and East
Washington q proper water supply, Colonel
Casey says
The easiest way to Increase the pressure In the
pipes upon the high grounds Is TO lay another main
from the distributing reservoir to Capitol Hill.
This main should be connected with the present
system Of pipes only on Capitol Hill and other por-
tons Of Washington Of equal higher altitude. II
should be three feet in diau'eter and located on y
route 10 be determined by careful survey. ltwoud
convey TO Capitol Hill, at mn elevation
Of l2j feet above tide, 100000 gallons In
twenty-four hours Colonel Casey approx
imately estimates the total cost of laying u
cast-iron main, three feet in diameter, from
the distributing reservoir 10 StHlmton Place, on
Capitol Hill distance Of about 2s 900 feet, to be
sNS9iS. The furnishing of this additional quantity
# water TO Washington would render the compile
tiOn of the dam at Great Falls Il necessity.

Home Influence.

Few can withstand the influence of home. This is why It should be the youths idea of purity; his father just and honorable, his mother an angel and his sisters diylnities. The woman that man, brought up among ladies, chooses for his wife sure to be lady, She may be hum- ble, even, but she will be refined He has had his model always before him, and they have fashioned his taste instlnctiveiy. In fact his whole conduct through life toward men and women will be better for re- fined home. It IS fact that all par ents ought to realize that to provide happy contentcd and cheerful home is as much part of their duty to their children as to educate them. If they are to learn that there are many unhappy marriages in the world, bIckerings and discontent, the knowledge should not come from the example of their own parents. If they are to hear profane and vio. lent language, it should not come from the mouth of the father, and the lad should not be initiated into the wiles of coquctte by the paint ed face or extravagant dress of his own mother. How can he be expect ed to choose good wife when the conduct of hls sisters teaches him that women are shallow, vain and conceited-that husband hunting is one of their life-and doing one's duty is to do the best for one's self in this world? It is because of such training as this that so many mems lives are failures.-Ex.
