the Board of Guardians.

Court this afternoon when Mary Gamer,
an eishteen-year-old girl, appeared before
Judge Miller and asked that her three
month-old infant, whose name was given
as John Paul Jones, be turned over to the
board of children's guardians. The facts
in the case revealed a repetition of the
old story of mans wrongs to a woman,
who had to stand all the trouble and dis
grace.
This young mother was totally unable to
support her child. She loved the child.
Notwithstanding the manner of its birth,
but being unable to provide the infant with
the necessaries of life, she could do nothing
other than ask that the District support
her offspring.
who is the father of the child?" Judge
Miller wanted to know, but the sad-faced
girl hung her head and the tears streamed
down her cheeks. She had been wrongel.
but even in the hour of her severest trial
she would not divuige the name of her be-
trayer
Judge Miller made the necessary order
and the child was taken from its mother
by Agent Parkman, to be cared for in some
charitable institution.

PROF. HUXLEY DEAD.
The World Much Indebted to the
Eminent naturalist.

Eminent naturalist.
LONDON, June 29.-Prof. Huxley. who
has teen Ill for some time, died at 3:45 pm.
Thomas Henry Huxley was born at Eal-
Ing, Middlesex, England. May 4, 1922. He
began his literary career while yet n stu
dent by contributing to the Medical Times
and Gazette In 1916 he joined the medical
service OF the royal navy. whence he was
selected the same year to accompany Capt.
Stanley as assistant surgeon TO the South
Pacific. In 1853 he resigned his position in
the navy. and in tho following year he sue
ceeded Prof. Edward Forbes as professor
of natural history in the Royal School of
Mines, an Office he held for many years. In
1863 and 1870 he was president both of the
Geological and chronological Societies; In
1870 he was president Of the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
and in 1872 he became secretary Of the
Royal Society. In 1872 he was elected LORD
rector of the University of Aberdeen.
Prof. Huxley did as much probably as
any Investigator to advance the science Of
zoology. and the world is indebted to him
for many important discoveries in each of
the larger divisions of the animal kingdom
To him is due the vertebral theory Of the
skull, which has been demonstrated so
clearly by Gegenbaur: and he was the first
to extend to man Darwin's theory Of natu-
raj selection.
In his three lectures in 1863 on MANS
Place in Nature he made an elaborate ex-
position of the doctrine of evolution as ap-
Piled to man, asserting that the anatomical
differences b-twean man and the higher
class of apes are of less valIe than those
between the highest and lowest apes.
Prof. Huxley was corresponding member
CT the principal foreign scientific societies.
and received honorary degrees from the
Universities of Breslau and Edinburgh.

THE SPANISH BUDGET.

Cuban Rebellion.

large Sum Provided to Suppress the
Cuban Rebellion.
AS 1t is understood that the Spanish
cortes adjourns on July l, there Is much
interest in the closing action Of the session
concerning pending questions with the
United States and the prosecution of the
Cuban contest. The entire budget has been
passed without crisis or adverse vote
threatening its existence. although it has
been in a minority in the cortes.
The most important item in the budget
is provision for raising sl20,0o0,000 to put
down the rebellion in Cuba. No important
tariff changes affecting the United States
have been made, but commission is at
work framing fiscal system applicable to
Cuba There has been no word yet as
To whether the Mora claim, urged By the
United States, has been included in the
budget, but the fact that no affirmative
action has been reported from Madrid in
dicates that the appropriation has not been
made.
1t is expected that the large sum provid-
ed for the Cuban uprising is specially in
tended for an offensive campaign next fall.
The present rainy season is said to prevent
operations of an extensive character, and
the recent call of Gen. Campos for 1900
more troops is understood to have been
in consequence of the contemplated fall
campaign.
