4 Child That Is N Marvellous

Not until January will little Fannie
Erdofy reach the mature age of four years,

same ancient city on the Danube. He has
the characteristic Magyar features well

with great purity and has the further
polyglot accomplishment of speaking Hun
garian, French. German, Italian, Spanish,
Greek (Romanic). Turkish. Finnish, and
that most turgid and difficult OF all tongues,
Basque. Mrs Erdofy speaks fluently En-
Slovenian. and so little Fannie has lived
all her life in a pathological atmosphere,
adverbs and coniunctions. Instead of doll
babies she played with irregular verbs.
and the ablative absolute and the subjune-
tive mood have been familiar objects to
her from her earlier infancy.
She speaks German like Berlinese,
French like a Parisenne, Hungarian as
glsh with a Harlem accent. She is very
fond of Central park and as she lives
to its attractions. Her mother has OBJ

park Fannie cannot be induced to talk any

be futile. Ancient languages have their
own imperishable and reserved place in
the love and learning Of mankind. All
modern tongues. many of them surviving
civil prescription, should be cherished by
those to whom they are cradle speech
and studied by all who can. English is
the language of destiny. They to whom
it is cradle speech can we'll afford to
study it with worship. 1t should be
their care TO protect it against violation
or intrusions. For noble sentiment. pro-
found truth, broad wisdom or eloQuence
or tenderness, it is needless to wander
from it into other tongues, be their true
accents lost i'm the dim music OF an
tiquity or be their organic forms plastic
in the pottery of cOntemporaneous life

tone of social life is purest and manifest
where the young men behave neither as
Young monkeys nor as rakes; where the
conditions for complete moral autonomy
are most fully established. At the same

HE WAS A. TAMMANY LEADER
A New York Italian Charged With
Selling Standardization Pnners

Selling Standardization Papers
Vincenzo de Vito, an Italian, charged with
procuring naturalization papers by fraud
and perjury and selling them for S15, was
held yesterday at Brooklyn in $1,000 bail
for examination Thursday The wholesale
naturalization that takes place in New
York just before every registration has
seemed suspicious to a good many people
Applicants presented themselves in such
large numbers that perjury could have been
committed without detection. and probably
has been. But that a regular business was
made of the sale of the fraudulent paDers
was hardly believed until the facts in de
NitO's case were presented. Now ii is
charged that in this criminal enterprise he
had several rivals, and one of them. a
banker in Canal street, New York is keep
ing out of the reach of the Brooklyn de-
tectives.
De Vito. who was caught. is engaged in
a peculiar business combination of bank
ing, politics and selling liquor. The prin-
cipal business of his bank is in issuing
exchange Cor his Italo-American friends
In politics he is supposed leader of the
Italians for Tammany Hall, and in that
position he has been very useful to the
wigwam in piling up majOrities in the lower
wards of the city. De Vito would march
to the polls on election day a long line of
his friends, most of whom could speak but
little English, and would vote them for
Tammany.

The Torture of Dumb Animals.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
a walk along the thoroughfares of WASH
ington, or any other city. will bring to the
attention many instances of gross abuses
inflicted upon mans best and most valued
friend among the lower animals-the horse
Teams heavily loaded and brea thing in
gasps are urged with whip and voice to
greater speed. Coal carts pass by with one
horse often staggering under a load sufti-
Gent for two. They not only draw a load.
but carry another on their backs as well.
A common abuse is In sending out coal
horses when the streets are icy. At such
times the horses are almost certain to slip
and fall fiat, and they are fortunate II they
receive no greater injury than bad bruises.
Three accidents of this kind were witnessed
by me the past winter: at one of them IL
required the united eXertion of five men TO
lift the shafts and back the cart from the
horse, which had received severe bruises
and cuts. In spite of this experience, how
ever, the colored driver hitched up again
and led the horse along, the latter showing
every sign of fear. A delay of an hour or
two would have enabled the driver TO pro-
coed in safety. One of the most open abuses
the worst torture the horse is subjected to
in public-is the overdraw check-rein.
Horses are frequently seen with heads
checked up so high that their noses point
almost straight out In front on a line par
allel with the back.
Let the reader throw his own head back
until his nose or chin is parallel with the
ground. and he will readily perceive that
the horse is obliged to use its eyes unnat-
orally. 1t sees out of the corners or lower
edges, and the ground where il steps and
for some distance in front is entirely out Of
its small range Of vision. Let another per-
son fasten the readers head back, for only
few minutes. and a most unpleasant IL
Illustration will be received of the unnatur-
alness and constant torture produced by the
overdraw check. Watch a horse, checked
up in this manner. when he is standing
still. Notice him turn his head around,
first TO one side and then TO the other, until
the check-rein is slackened. His only OBJ
ject is to relieve the strain on his mouth
and neck.
The overdraw check-rein permanently in
lures the horses eyes. and finally forever
destroys that beautiful contour Of the neck
which goes far toward making the animal
an object Of admiration. Ii also Injuries the
horses PAGES and causes him TO stumble.
&c. All this and more will the observing
person witness. Some of the abuses are
not so apparent on many of the streets OF
Washington. where smooth pavernents
and easy grades are the rule. But the
cruelty of the overdraw check alone is
enough to enlist the svmpathes OF all.
