CUT HER BABY'S THROAT.
While Temporarily Insane Mother
Kills Her Infant.

Pittsburg Pa, July 5.-When Frank W.
Law, IA timer, reached his home at Ale
gheny yesterday a horrible sight met his
eyes. Seated in Il rocker was his wife,
holding across her lap her eighteen-da y-old
baby with its throat cut. Upon seeing lier
husband. the woman cried:
my God! L have killed my Child.
What do you think of me? What will my
children think of me?'
Her clothes were covered with blood
Lying on the floor in a pool of blood
was her husbands razor, with which SHE
had killed the baby. When the husband
tried to take the dead baby from the
woman she cIuDg to it, and begged pite-
ously for permission to hold the lifeless
form.
For several hours the wild mother sat
there, refusing TO give up the child. Last
evening the family doctor, II. E. Ramsay,
corpse.
The chiid's mother told the officials
her name was Ida Louisa Law, and that
she suffered terribly since the baby's
birth.
Mrs. Law cried "a great deal, and was
extrernelynervous. She is thirty three years
old. DR.. Ramsay corroborated her state
ment concerning her suffering since the child
was born. He thought that she was tem-
porarily insane when she committed the
deed. The physician forbade the wo-
mans removal to prison, sc she was placed
under surveillance ut her home.

this way, both merchants and workmen will

sisted upon-that the aboiit on of all con

buildings will benefit not only the District

the workingmen and all Others having any
connection whate'sar with it. The profit

pIished, however. the Commiss oners' new

uM ONTRARY to the general impress
" sion" said E. Il. Cluuss, vice presi-
dent OF the Anheuser- Busch Brew
ing Company, at the Raleigh, "the
United States today are the largest
exporters Of beer in the world. For many
years Germany had the reputation ormaking
the best beer, but our brewers have been
gradually creeping up, until now the Amcrl
can product disputes precedence with the
German brew in every corner of the globe.
"Our beer has greatly outdistanced all
rivals In South America, Africa, Australia,
Mexico, and has gained foothoid even III
Europe. Last year the brewers OF this
country shipped beer TO England and Ger
many. ton OF one brewery
alone was over 800 COO barrels. The eS-
port beer differs from that for domestic
use, us II larger quantity OF hops enters into
its composition, making 1t stronger, and
ii is allowed to attain greater age. These
qualities are given it SO that it may stand
the long sea voyage and the hotter climate
of the importing countries without impair
ing its flavor or strength. Most of the beer
from ST. Louis is shipped to San Francisco,
where it is sent all over the world"
.eIDON'T recollect time when there was
such universal interest taken in poll
tics,'' said William ". Kelser. an
old newspaper man, who is at the Riggs
House "Everywhere nothing is heard but
politics.
Coming over In the train yesterday,
sat back and listened. ALI around me the
passengers had formed themselves into
impromptu debating societies. In the seat
in front an old farmer, with evident Popu-
listic tendencies, was shouting the .tenets
of the free-silver faith into the ears OF a
young commercial traveller who sat beside
him.
Immediately to my left two colored
brethren had waxed wroth upon the sup
preston of the negro vote il he South. The
conductor, while collecting tickets, would
stand ten minutes beside each seat giving
the occupants the benefit of his views,
while the colored porter discussed gold
with silver-quarter tip still in his hand.
ITO cap the climax, the trainboy came in
with his arm full of campaign literature.
which, he said, had entirely superseded
novels for train reading. So l bought a
couple of books and proceeded to educate
myself up to the level of my neighbors."
