A child Brutally Beaten.

SOUTH AMBoY, N. j., Ang. 30.-A sad
case of brutality to 3-year-old child
has just been brought to light through
the arrest of John Abbott, on complaint
of ]. Manning Roberts, young medical
student of this place. Roberts, having
heard that a child in a starving con-
dition was tortured by its parents in an
outlying part of the town, known as
Frog Hollow, made complaint before
Police Justice Grace and swore out 3
warrant tor the arrest of Abbott. The
latter was given hearing yesterday,
and in default of 81 900 was locked up to
await the action of the grand jury. Alb
bott has been living with woman
named Banta, of Perth Amboy, who is
said to be the mother of the child. The
child is covered with bruises from head
to foot. It had been, it is alleged, tor
tured by being knocked down with a
poker, being placed on red-hot stove,
held up by the back of the neck and
beaten until it became unconscious,
and by being all the while slowly starved
1t is alleged the child's life was insured
in several companies. Several witnesses
swore to the above facts at the hearing,
and will appear against Abbott before
the grand jury. The mother of the
child was given three days in which tc
leave town.

New YORK. Aug, 3O.-Edward Stolz,
the supposed lunatic who proposes to
kill Monsignore Satolli, the papal apple
gate, was arraignedIln the Harlem police
court today. Stolz appears to be suffer-

kill him. and making lunges at
imaginary objects. He said he formerly
kept saloon at Meadville, Pa. He sold
out, God having called him to kill
Satolli. A club of ten had been organized
to kill all priests, and he had been Sc
lected to strike the first blow. He was
sent to Bellevue hospital, where he will
undergo an examination as to his sanity.

Vegetable Ivory.

The vegetable ivory of commerce is
an albuminous substance formed from
a milky fluid in the fruit of q species
of palm indigenous to several parts of
Central and South America, but which
seems to flourish best in New Granada
and Peru. 1t corresponds to the meat
of the cocoanut, which latter is the fruit
of. another species of palm. When
vegetable ivory nuts are ripe they are
covered with a brown skin, are bean
shaped, the interior being perfectly
exYhite and very hard.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30 Contrary to expec-

day by the strike commission. s. G.
Wade, an employe of the legal depart
ment if the Rock Island road, said
much of the blockading of the railroad
track was the work of inexperienced
railroad men. W. R. Mooney, a North

said Debs and Howard had not advised
the men to strike They told the men
to use their own judgment. He was

THERE is one reform that should be
forced on congress by public opinion. and
that is the absolute prohibition of the at
tachment of new legislation as amend
ments to the general appropriation bills.
No better example of the viciousness of
the system need be sought for than was
presented by the senate this week when
an amendment to the sundry civil appro.
priation bill providing for the purchase of
the Malone SITE" upon which to build a
new government printing Office. was
adopted. 1t would be impossible to get
the house to agree to this purchase if pre-
scented in a separate bill; hence the action
of tee senate, upon which Malone has a
pull. to force the house to agree or tc
see an import Mt appropriation bill fail
1t is generally admitted that the Malone
lot is unsuited for the purpose and exces.
sive in price, and were it not for the per.
sistcnt lobbying of General Malone il
would never even have been sesiously
considered as among the eligible sites.
| 1t remains to be seen whether the house
will allow itself to be bulldozed into voting
a gratuity of public money to Genera
Malone just because certain senators wan
| to help him along.
