Sleeping Rooms for Children.

From Babyhood
Possibly the attention Of very few mothers
has been directed to the importance Of the
position of their children's beds. With certain
orderly, careful mothers a small alcove adj
joining their sleeping room is generally con-
sidered suitable; leaving the main room so
much freer for other uses. But to what fate
are we consigning our child when we exile him
to the alcove? Here turks all the stale. vitiated.
or, as we might say, dead air, undisturbed by
the freer currents of the main room. The
child breathing this air. night after night, ex-
periences loss of vitality, a tendency to
colds, and a languid, depressed condition
in the morning, quite different from
the refreshed awakening in pure
air. 1t has been demonstrated that
the beds nearest the walls in hospitals have
the highest rate Of mortality, they being sub
ject to influences of polluted air similar to the
alcove of the bedroom. The existence of bad
ventilation around the corners and sides of
rooms has been so well demonstrated that il
has given rise to the building of rotunda hos
pitfalls, where the air along the floors rises as il
reaches the wall, effectually ventilating the
whole. The first suggestion of this idea came
from the dropping of small piece of paper
near the center of a rotunda. where IL skimmed
along the floor and rose as it reached the wall.
In an ordinary room similar experiment with
piece of thistle-down will indicate the usual
direction OF the air currents.

Two men, one about 40 years old and the
other -, called on Lewis T. Wood, a Jersey

themselves as agents Of the York safe company

THE CHARGE OF AssAULTINa THE MISSES FARRAR
WITHDRAWN.
The case of Mr.. James NJ. Leach. IT,, chief of
the pay division, sixth auditors office, who had
some trouble at the house of the Misses Farrar,
No. 1405 h street, where he boarded, as pub
lished in Tuesdays STAR, was called for trial
in the Police Court this morning. He was
charged with assaulting Miss Eta and Miss
Ada Farrar, and also with carrying a loaded
revolver.
Mr.. Shillington called the attention of Judge
Miller to the case, stated the facts as published
in Tuesdays STAR. and said that matters had
been so arranged that he desired to enter a
nolle. pros in the assault cases. As to the charge
Of carrying concealed weapons he understood
that Mr.. Leach was willing to plead guilty and
pay fine of $40.
Mr.. Campbell Darlington, for Mr.. Leach,
said that he was willing to do as the prescott
ing attorney had intimated. He desired to say,
however, that he did not think the court would
impose fine should the case 60 to trial. The
defendant. he said. had the weapon, but he
thought he was justified by the facts in having
it in his possession.
The judge said that where there is such a
misunderstanding in which ladies are involved
it is better to settle the matter in some way
without trial
So the penalty was only imposed for carrying
the pistol, Mr.. Leach having settled his bill

Origin of an Old Saving.

The saying, Those who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones" originated as follows:
AT the union Of England and Scotland in 1908
great numbers of Scotchmen iocked to Lon
don. Buckingham hated the Scotch bitterly,
and encouraged marauders to break the win
dows of houses occupied by them. Some of
dows of the dukes house, which had SO many
that it was called the ''Glass House." The
duke complained TO the king, and the mon
arch replied, All, Steenie. Steenie, those who

The Samoan difficulty is not BY a long shot

Evidence in the Mudd-Compton contest was
taken at Upper Marlboro, Md, yesterday be-
fore Jos. S. Wilson. examiner. The Baltimore
Sun says: VIM. Brown, of Marlboro, was
sworn. He said he was seventy-two years old.
and on the morning of election his vote was re-
fused by the judges because the name William
Brown was checked as voting. When asked how
he would have voted he replied. ''For Mudd
and Grant" Charles H. Green gave similar
testimony. Mr.. James W. Mckee, president of
the republican club of Washington swore that
he knew Richard II. Club, who was refused his
vote by the judges of Surratt's district. He adj
mitted that objection had been raised by re-
publicans as to Clubs registration owing to
non-residence, and that Clubs uncle objected
to his voting owing to his minority. Andrew
V. Robey testified that he Club on the day
Of election, and club told him the judges would
not let him vote. He would have voted the re-
publican ticket.
Evidence in the case was also taken in Leon
ardtown yesterday, Mr.. Nudd. the contestant
appearing for himself, and B. II. Camalier for
MIR. Compton. After several witnesses had
been examined, Mr.. Sidney E. Mudd. the con-
testant, testified as follows: was the regular

X.
The Commissioners this morning gave an
audience to Messrs. Thompson, jenkins, SUIT
ton. and Grace, a committee appointed by the
bricklayers at work on the new school building
at Brightwood. They claim that they are un-
able to collect their wages from the contractor
Mr.. Rothwell, as he says the brick work was
sublet, and the subcontractor is responsible.
The eighth clause Of stipulation in the contract
provides that sum equal to the estimated
amount OF the contract be held for a space Of
three months after the delivery of the build
ing, thereby guaranteeing the District against
all liability on account of liens; and further.
that the contracts be strictly and faithfully per-
formed to the satisfaction of and acceptance
by the Commissioners. Auditor Petty, to whom
the matter was referred, thinks that the above
stipulation is binding on the contractor for the
payment Of the men, and he will do everything
to see that they are paid

MoY CHUNG FINED.
A Lively Time with Chinese Interpreters
in the Police Court.

The trial Of Moy Chung Kee, the Chinese
grocer, at No. 10S ~ street, charged with
keeping a gambling establishment was re-
sumed in the Police Court this afternoon. Law
yer Walter called the defendant as the first wit
ness. Although Moy Chung Kee cohversed
with the policemen, his counsel called John
Gott japanese. as an interpreter. In answer
to the courts inquiries the interpreter gave the
information that Moy Chung Zee was "good
man."
What is your religion" asked counsel Of
the interpreter.
Congregational" responded John.
Through the interpreter. defendant said that
he occupied the second floor. He denied that
he had ever seen game Of poker or fan-tan
played in his room for money.
"Ask him." said counsel, ''if he ever showed
the officer book containing members Of q
club"
''He say" answered the Interpreter, che no
speak English, he no read English, and he
asked policeman what was in the book"
Chong Lee then made his appearance and
listened to see whether the interpreter truth
fully repeated the testimony or not. The first
question and answer met with an objection
from Chong, and Mr.. Shillington explained that
Chong was his interpreter.
INTERPRETERS DIFFER.
Moy Chung Kee made another denial of the
charge and said that he receives his friends on
Sundays and Mondays and they enjoy smoke
together. Several times Chong Lee took ex-
cepticns to the evidence as interpreted by John
Gott. and the latter stoutly objected to Chong
Lees presence in court il he (Gott) was to act
as interpreter. Colt then picked up the bible,
swore Chong Lee in his own language. Chong
in turn made John swear in the same manner.
A regular parrot-and-monkey time followed
and John was made to step aside. A lengthy
discussion then ensued, and Moy Foon, the de-
PENDANTS cousin, was sworn as interpreter.
This only lead to further trouble. for Chong
Lee took exceptions to what the new interpre-
ter said. He accused Moy Foon Of not only
asking the questions but also suggesting the
answers. The defendant was shown the paper
purporting to be the incorporation Of the Ce-
lestial pleasure club. He was unable to tell
exactly how he got possession Of the paper.
Moy Foon gave testimony for the defendant
and the court imposed fine of $50.

The person who attracted most attention was
probably Mr. Morrison. He was SO faithful in
his copy of Roman dress that he was the
subject of much comment. He appeared with
out the toga, in strict accordance with the
spirit of the age he represented. He was
wound tightly about the body with folds of
thin white stuff. which met above the right
shoulder. His entire right arm was barred
from above the top of the shoulder. His
really fine form was displayed as if in tights.
His legs and feet we're bare. He wore the SAN
