The big headed, stumpy fusees USED
by smokers, and which will sizzle and
keep afire in the windiest weather, are
simply common matches with compo.
sition of the slow fire kind. The mix
ture in the big oval head is porous and
is made of charcoal, saltpeter, powdered
glass, gum and some sweet scented barks
all of it tipped with the igniting COM
position. These matches are dipped re-
peatedly until the proper amount of
composition is put on the head Of the

through melted stearin aud paraffin.
The wax hardens rapidly On the threads

THE BRANDED BABY.
San Francisccs Doctor Tried For Mark
ing a Fonndling and Acquitted.

San Franciscos Doctor Tried For Mark
ing a FonndIing and Acquitted.
DR.. e. n. Griffith of 1850 McAllister
street, who branded baby on the 18th
of December, has been tried for cruelty
to child and acquitted The circum-
stances of the case are still fresh in the
mind of the public. DR.. Griffith, after
marking the infant on the thigh with
the letter M and bar below the letter,
sent it TO the receiving hospital in
charge of Daniel McCloskey, a messen-
ger boy. He freely acknowledged that
he had marked the baby so that in some
future time the mother could identify
her offspring. At the trial ia police
court No. DR.. Griffith did not appear
at his ease.
When the accused took the stand in
his own defense, the hundreds of spec
tators in the courtroom crowded forward
so as not to lose a word of his testi-
mony. With an effort he recovered his
composure and stated that he had been
a practicing physician since 1876. He
does not believe that the mother of the
baby, who was born on Oct. l. is a mar
ried woman.
''Who put that mark on the baby?'
he was asked. Every one listened for
his reply, which was given in clear
voice.
81 placed that mark on the baby by
pricking the skin with cambria needle.
Then I rubbed wet gunpowder over the
surface, which was moistened by a few
drops of blood. [ was requested to mark
the child by its mother, who was obliged
to abandon it. She wanted to be able to
identify it, SO that if i'll the future she
should be in position to do SO she
might reclaim it. Iwent to drug store
to get some india ink for this purpose,
but as there was none in the store used
common gunpowder instead. The child
suffered no pain. - Dr. Griffith then
quoted medical authority on the nerves
of very young children. He said he gave
the little thing whisky and water and
sugar to deaden the pain should there
be any. He denied that he had used
either a hot iron Or an acid, and the
operation he performed, he said, was
not SO painful as a vaccination.
The witness added that he had an I'M.
derstanding with the baby S mother that
she would give him money to be used
for the little ones benefit in whatever
founding hospital it would find per-
manent lodging. In this respect thu
brand was to serve another purpose. In
case the child died the people in the
asylum could not draw the money by
substituting some other baby. A rela.
tive Of the baby was present when the
tattooing was done. DR.. Griffith declined
to answer any question bearing upon
the relatives of the baby, and the court
did not insist upon them.
Mrs. Amelia Griffith, mother of the
accused and the principal of the Golden
Gate primary school, testified to having
furnished the camb brio needle and being
in an adjoining room while the baby
was being tattooed.
The jury was out only five minutes
and returned verdict of not guilty.
DR.. Griffith's friends applauded, and the
baby brander heaved great sigh OF
relief and went away.-'ljan Francisco
Chronicle.
