A Heavy sentence.

Thomas Peterson, the Pasadena BUTCH
er who was charged with having outraged
little Eva Stratton, was sentenced yes
terday morning by Judge Cheney to an
imprisonment of fifty years at Folsom.
This, in the case of man of Peterson's
years, means for life. The Judge spoke
in the severest terms of the crime, and
said that he could see no reason why any
mercy should be shown its perpetrators
He expressed regret that the law did not
exact the death penalty for the ofense.
Peterson's face was ashen as he listened
70 the words which condemned him to Z
living death.

MISS DE VILLERS' SUICIDE.

A woman about forty years of age, calling
herself Z. De Villers, shot herself in her room
at the Grand Union hotel, New York. yesterday
noon. She registered as from Frederick, Nd.
She arrived at the Grand Union on Tuesday.
and the next day she went to furnished-room
house and wanted to hire room, saying she
would refurnish it herself, as she had furniture
at the Pennsylvania depot. The woman of the
house said she would give Miss De yillers an
answer at the hotel. The woman called We'd
nesday night. and received word that Miss De
Villers was engaged. She also called upon the
Belgian consul, and asked him about dsposing of
some Mississippi bonds. About noon yesterday
pistol shot was heard in her room. The door
vas forced, and the woman was found in bed
With revolver, clutched by each hand pointed
at her head. She made no effort to move, but
seemed to be conscious. Blood was flowing
from her mouth wnen a surgeon arrived. A
ball had entered the roof of her mouth and
passed through the top of her head, carrying
away piece of the skull. She was taken to
the hospital and died at midnight She is be-
Heved to have been music teacher. A card
was found with the name Mile. +. De Villers.

JOEL BARLOw's TOME.
Tho Acre ct Kalorama Consecrated "a
the Dead.

A STAR reporter who paid visit to Kalorama
this morning found the site of the old mansion
being graded and laid out in roads, terraces.
circles and squares in anticipation of the stalk
ing out OF villa plots and city lots. Down in the
southeastern corner Of the estate. on the corner
OF Massachusetts extension and 22d street
northwest, he found an acre of ground I'M
touched by pick or spade, still shaded by the
grand forest trees that once covered Kalorama.
and nearly in the center OF the acre the Barlow
vault. Quite an interesting history pertains to
this bit Of ground Mrs. Ruth Barlow. widow
OF the poet, dying in 1918, left a will. a
codicil to which, dated February "a. 1918. pro-
vided that her legatee should convey to such
reiigious society as she might point ont in a
future codicil an acre of ground out of said
estate to include the vault now built thereon
to be held las burial ground forever" and
provided an annual fund of $50 for keeping
vault and fence in repair. The poor lady died
three months afterward without ever having
designated the religious society and her be-
quest lapsed. After her death Thos. Barlow,
her nephew, and Henry Baldwin. her brother,
an associate justice of the Supreme Court. were
successfully owners of Kalorama. Judge Bald
win, IN 1881, sold it to Col Geo. Bomford. OF
the ordnance bureau, who had married his
sister, Clara Baldwin. When the latter gentle
man, in 1876, sold to Mr.. Lovett of New York,
he reserved in his deed the acre of ground
about the tomb for burial ground forever. -
as Mrs. Barlow had desired. The title is now
vested in the heirs of Col Bomford and all
the right they have in il is the right of burial.
The tomb was tightly boarded up by Mr. W. II.
Baldwin, Of this city, when Improvements be-
gan at kalorama, to protect it from the relic

The first inscription ON the marble slab of the
vault is as follows:

The knights. Of Pythias.

PREPARING TO CELEBRATE THE TwENTY-FIFTH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORDER.
On the 18th Of February next the twenty-fifth
anniversary Of the order Of Knights of Pythias,
which had its origin in this city, will take
place. The work of this order was written by
Mr.. Justus II. Rathbone. who took the classical
story of Damon and Pythias as its basis. This
he read to few friends who were SO well
pleased with it that they determined to form
an organization, and G lodge WIS instituted.
The first organized was Washington lodge
but owing to the excited condition of the coun-
try, the war not. being then closed, it became
extinct. The second lodge, Franklin. No. 2.
was formed in East Washington, and is now
the Oldest one of the order. From this small
beginning the order has grown. until now there
is scarcely locality in the country which does
not have X. of p. lodge or member. There
are also lodges in other countries. Besides the
lodges of the order in this country, there are
state grand lodges and supreme lodge of the
order, a uniformed military rank, of which
there are two divisions in this city. and an en-
dowment or insurance rank. Gen. VIM. Ward,
the supreme chancellor. who resides at New
ark, n. j., recognizing the fact that the silver
anniversary of the order occurs February 10
next, has issued a circular calling attention to
the fact, and directing all lodges to celebrate
the event in a proper manner.

The Culture of To-Day.


The culture which has grown with this pres
ent century has conferred its quota of happi-
ness on the generation of to-day. Those who
remember the old times know how their artis-
tic environments have invested life with IN
wonted grace, creating purer atmosphere, so
that existence ''seems sweetIy set to higher
key" A developed love of beauty and a better
knowledge of the fitness of things has made
itself felt in dress as much as in the accompa-
niments Of home life. The cut Of our gar
ments and the improved materials testify to
the touch Of the magician's wand, which has
turned the prim stiffness and unloveliness of
years ago to beauty.
Higher education and mental cultivation have
borne fruits easily discernible as the quaint old
poet George, Herbert puts it, upon body,
clothes and habitatiOn." 1t is possible to at
tach too much importance to appearances; but
Massinger was right in saying that outward
seeming is q tOlerably sure index to the mind.
The outward habit and superficial order of gar.
mentsin men and women give us taste of the
spirit and demonstrate the internal quality OF
the soul. Disorder and slovenly attire point
to degenerate blood and breeding"

Proper Homage to Women.

Proper Homage to Women.
HINT TO YOUNG MEN WHO WOULD SHINE IN
SOCIETY.
Kitty in the New York Times.
1t would be Of infinite help to young man
who really desires to secure pleasing manner
and address in his bearing toward women to
look upon himself with their eyes for while.
He would find first that he cannot be too
unfailing in respect toward a young woman
Avoid anything and everything in speech and
action that apr coaches a flippant familiarity.
The true woman resents this, as the French
say, to the tip of her nails. Some young men
are derelict in this particular, and would be
surprised, angry indeed, to be told of the fact
l sat in a crowded ballroom not long ago and
kept my eyes and ears open. 1 saw a young
man pick fan out of one young lady's lap, lean
over in front of her and tap q second young
lady-by no means lghtly-on the shoulder
with it to attract her attention. l saw another
approach a group of young ladies, and, stand
ing behind one Of them, deliberately push into
her hair q silver arrow that was slightly loos-
ened. am happy to say that this young man
was promptly rebuked. I do not think he will
soon forget the look of freezing dignity with
which the young lady turned Thanks" she
said, without q smile, II shall not need my

Dinners and Athletics.


Muldoon, the wrestler and athlete, advanced
the theory the other night that the reason New
Workers Of the type of Wright Sanford die
young comes from the fact that their dinners
are too heavy.
"a few more good restaurants in New
York." said Muldoon, would mean an increase
in corpulency among clubmen all over town.
No matter how good an athlete man is at
twenty-five or three, he is sure to 20 to pieces
within ten years or 30 if he INDUCES in heavy
dinners. Dinners have grown so late in New
York that It IL impossible for man to take any
exercise after the meal is over If he dined in
the middle of the day the natural exercise of
his business and pleasure would keep him on
the move until his food would be digested and
turned into muscle. Instead of this man
eats i've or six times as much as his stomach
Will bear, and then either sits down in an easy
chair and smokes half dozen cigars or else
lounges around in box at the theater until it

A Very Diminutive Baby.

Nestled in a small cotton-lined box in the
home Of Alexander Henning, on Thompson
avenue, Long Island City, yesterday, lay very
small baby. When born it weighed but fifteen
ounces, and this weight was increased in a
month to pound and half. Mrs. Henning
is a tall, muscular woman, and the mother of
fourteen children. When the baby in question
was born its mouth was so small that il was
almost unable to partake of nourishment, and
a small tube, not any larger than straw, was
used to furnish it. Even this was only with
difficulty inserted between its lips. The child
was in every way fully developed. Its limbs
were no larger than the little finger of q lady's
hand, while the nails of the fingers were hardly
percepfihle.

Frenchmen Who Do Not Smoke.

Victorien Sardou, Ernest Renan, Jules Simon,
Octave Feuillet, and Francisque Secrecy never
make use Of tobacco in any shape or form.
Alexander Dumas at one time enjoyed cigar
a. much a. most people, but he was advised by
his doctor one day to break himself Of the
habit. Dumas, who happened to be indulging
in weed" at the time, flung away the un-
finished ciger and has never had one between
bis lips since. Victor Hugo, Lamartine, Alfred
de vigny, the elder Dumas, and the veteran
savant, dc Chevreul, whose one-hundred-and-
third birthday the Parisians lately feted, are
among the other Distinguished Frenchmen Of
the century who never yielded TO the fascina-
ton Of the seductive weed.
