GENEROUS CHILDREN.
Response to a Call for Charity at
Peabody School.

On Thursday Miss Cahalin, the principal
Of the Peabody School on West Mission
street, made a request of the children of
the higher grades to bring old clothes,
shoes and stockings for some poor chill

attend school because they have hardly
any clothes.
The principals attent ton was called by

The children of the school responded to
the appeal with promptness. Yesterday

There will be no need of children stay

vide for them now, and none of the other
children will know anything about it.
Some of the little misses who donated
have darned stockings for the poor them

One of the Last Chapters of
Celebrated Case.

When the case of Giovanni Abbatti, the
counterfeiter, was called in the United
States District Court yesterday Attorney
George A. Knight, for the defense, stated
that his client desired to withdraw the plea
of not guilty and would enter plea of
guilty. The attorney also stated that
when the time came for the defendant to
appear for sentence Abbatsi would make a
statement Of facts that would undoubt-
edly be of benefit to the Government Off
Gals.
The plea of guilty came as a surprise to
Assistant District Attorney Shurtleff,
who has had charge of the case, and to
Secret Service Detective Harris, who
worked up the evidence against the men.
further surprise awaited them in the I'M
official announcement that when C.. NJ.
Murry, an accomplish of Abbatti. ap-
peared in court this morning he would fol-
low the lead of his companion in crime
and enter plea of guilty. The time of
sentence was fixed for next Monday N orn-
ing.
The conviction of Abbatti and Murray Is
one OF the last chapters in the greatest
c0unterfeIting case in the history of Cali
fornia. The gang of counterfeiters con-
sisted of g. A6batti, Poalo VScOnte. G.

to spirit away Laura L. Weeks, one of the
Governments witnesses. Miss Welks. who
has often been referred TO as the mysteri-
Gus woman in white" claims that Avery
I. White, Stockton attorney. paid her
$500 and was To give her more if she would
go to either Mexico or Canada. That the
plot miscarried was not because the woman
would not accept the bride, but because
the balance of the money was not forth
coming. The defense of her husband thus
far is said TO have cost Mrs. Howell $685.

In his letter Senator Ostrom then quotes
the measure which bears his name and
then proceeds to analyze its provisions re-
lating to the sale of bags from the prison

"Why." he asks. twas such a law

EnRlish Funeral Etfouette,

There is one divisin of English eti. quette which strikes an American as worthy of note, and yhat is in connec- tion with the dead. On the day of a funeral every house in the immediate vi cinity has the blinds lowered until the last carriage has passed. Every boy is taught to lift his hat as the hearse goes by, whether it be the funeral car of the noble or the pauper's hearse.
 During the interval between the death and the time that the body is removed, often 8 week, no shouting must be in- dulged in by the children of the neigh borhood, and no games must be played near the desolated home. The merest acquaintance sends card by servant bearing message of sympathy, but there is no intrusion upon the mourners ex- oept by the most intimate friends. Those who attend the funeral services always wear black gowns, bonnets and gloves, and all letters of coincidence must be written upon black edged paper and in- closed in an envelope to match.
 English ladies do not go to the grave, though there have been some notable ex- captions during the last few years in the cases of wives of prominent men. Their departure from the old custom is one of many indications that English women are preparing to take their Kghtful place in the world-that they are no longer content to be regarded as helpless crea- tures-but may the day be far distant when they shall lose the gentle courtesy which Is the charm of the EnsAsh home. -New York Times.

It was always expected that new pa- tients would cry for at least half day. Umberto was a rogue who seemed to take delight in prolonging this period of initiation. He was an Italian boy of 8, with large head, big brown, half won dering and half roguish eyes, and the crookedest legs, which made him wad- dle like a duck. Once it was noticed that even on the second and third days after admission some children in his ward would be crying for home as in the very beginnings thing explained only when the tricks of this young ras- cal were discovered. He would watch until all was quiet and the nurse had stepped out of the ward for minute on some duty, and then would call to the newcomer, ''Say, say, doan' you wan to see you muddar" Whereupon the food gates would open once nore.-Harper's Young People. ......

Georgia's Terrifying Spring.

There is a spring in Brooks county, Ga., which in very short time converts wood and several other substances into hard rock. The peculiar qualities of this Georgia fountain have been known since early in the century, when an old "ba'r hunter" accidentally lost his knife in the basin which has been hollowed out of the granite strata by the ceaseless bub- bling of the water. A month later the old trapper again repaired to the spring and was agreeably surprised to find his favorite knife. The water had had no effect upon the bright steel, not even to the extent of leaving speck of rust, but with the wood of the knife's handle it was far different. The petrifying parti- cles with which the water is so highly impregnated had entered every pore and sap tube in the wood, and what was but a few weeks before hickory handle of "home make" was now two thin slabs of solid stone, woodlike in appearance, but as hard and unyielding as a chip from & granite powder. To this day the place is known as "old Moore's petrifying spring."-St. Louis Republic.
