A MEAN Joke.
John Bircham Wanted to
Brighten His Mother.
She thought He Was Murdered and
Became Frantic With Griei.
Third District Police and a Grocer
Were all Fooled.

John Bircham, % years old, son OF Mrs.
Jesse Robbins, OF "a Transit street, has
OF late been drinking rather heavily.
This morning his mother took him TO
task about the matter. and wanted him
TO be what he was before he got into
bsd company-a good boy. The two
talked for an hour or more, and when
the conversation ended Mrs. Robbins
thought that she had won her boy back
from the path of intemperance. The sub
ject had been discussed by both in most
pleasant way, and when she con-
cluded the mother told her son 10 go to
bed and have a nap, and whatever he did,
not to go out of the bouse until she re-
TUNED from the store. John said that he
would not and he kept his word. The
mother started for the store TO purchase
u supply of meat and groceries 70 the
day, and was in somewhat happy
mood, for she thought that Johnnie was
going TO be good. D
Upon her return to the h( ie she went
to her sons room and what sight for a
mother. There in corner OF the room
was John kneeling, and in his back was
a knife. Blood could be seen in every
part of the room.
Mrs. Robbins screamed for help, and
the first TO respond was the groceryman,
who came in with the articles purchased
by her, but few moments before. The
groceryman saw the kneeling form in the
corner and the blood. He went out of
the house and shouted: "John Bircham
has been murdered. ~
He ran his horse all OF the distance to
the Wickenden street station, where he
told Captain McGill that Bircham had
been murdered. The captain and three
officers jumped into the grocer's wagon
and were driven rapidly TO the scene OF
the outrage. Upon their arrival at the
house the police found much difficulty in
effecting an entrance, as the crowd about
the doors leading TO the house was so
large. The cries of the distressed mother
We're heard by all. When the captain got
into the house, he was told by the
mother what had happened. She did not
think that he had been murdered, but had
committed suicide, and just becuse she
mad talked 10 him as mother should.
She then led the captain TO the room,
where the man was. The captain took
hold of tho arm, but there was no arm
there. He then took off the derby hat,
and he found no head. The captain
looked at the blood and said that ii was
off color The captain heard smothered
laugh, and looking about, found john In
bed, laughing as II he would die, and
said that he could not stand ii any longer
he had TO laugh or ''bust," and SO he
laughed.
Captain McGill then went to the bed
side, and asked him why he played such
a trick on his mother. He said that he
did 1t TO frighten her. He accomplished
lis object.
As soon as his mother went out John
took his cloth hes and filled them with such
articles as he could find, and placed
them in the position as seen by his
mother. He then went into the kitchen,
took the carving knife and tomato catsur
bottle. The former be ran into the
body of the dummy and the latter he
sprinkled about the object and floor.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
An Ordinance by Which Mr. Hopkins
Nav Have n Vacation

At the Board OF Aldermen this afternoon
there WAS a bill passed for an orninant e
granting leave OF absence to the inspector
of buildings, Mr.. Hopkins. This action
must be concurred in by the Common
Council, and then the inspector has full
authority TO take rest. There is no
question but what be deserves it, for in
the last 13 years he has enjoyed just
three vacations, but the bill suggests a
somewhat unique state of affairs.
The officials OF this department, as
those OF few Others, are allowed no va
cation, and 1t is always necessary for
them 10 have special ordinance framed
in order to get away. Mr.. Hopkins assis-
tant, Charles T.. Myers, has been on duty
for five years without any time "of, "
except Sundays and holidays. But that
is not the particularly unique part of the
situation. When the inspector goes away
there is no one left behind who is author
lied 10 assume his full powers. Mr.. My
ers may grant permits to build with the
customary restrictions, but II there is
necessity for issuing an order relative to
q dangerous building, no matter how ur-
gent the case may be, he has no more au-
thority TO do il than the senler of weights
and measures. Therefore. the city is,
theoretically powerless until the inspec-
tors leave OF absence expires. Mr. My
ers is not a deputy, but merely clerk,
and for him to be properly qualified dur
ing his chiefs absence, another bill must
pass the board and council making him
inspector pro tenn.
There is no committee over this depart
ment, and its dealings must be direct
with the City Council.
