omm mendation of Clemency Was
Made by the Jury.

Mildred Farrell. alias Mildred Shank
ling, eoiored, was convicted in Judge Coles
court yesterday OF manslaughter in causing
the death of the twin babies OF Rosetta
Washington. negro girl. The jury made
recommendations OF mercy with the verdict
and Judge Cole sentenced the woman to
three years at Albany.
Rosetta Washington. whois about twenty
five years old, testified that she had been
in trouble before. onthis occasion she went
to the Shanking woman's house in South
Washingtonand had an operationperfurmed.
Next day she gave birth TO two children
one of them was dead, the other lived u few
hours Thistestimony ywassupportedbyl that
OF the girls mother, Mrs. Winnie Washing
ton, and Others.
Sergt DAILY testified as to the arrest or
Mildred Shankling, or Farrell. He SAID
he went with Policeman Owens to the house
and posted Mr.. owens in the rear while he
wenttothefront. Inspitc this prccaution
the woman escaped. He learned that she
had probably gone TO neighbor's and
with Owens went there. The neighbor said
she had not seen Mildred, but while he WAS
standing looking about the place he OBJ
served a pillow case fall from above with
out any apparent cause.
He sent Mr.. Owens in enc direction while
he went in another. Hefound dry goods
box with lot of clothing in it. The
clothing was moved about in singular
manner and when he investigated he found
Mildred secreted under it.
At this point i'll his narrative, the defend
ant. who is an intelligent looking colored
woman, smiled broadly.
You have caught = good many people
for whom you have looked in a dry goods
box?" asked Attorney Taylor, who was
conducting the defense.
NO; | don't know that have" replied
the sergeant.
Mr. TAYLOR tried to have him remember
catching a Presbyterian preacher in
barrel. but Judge Cole ruled out this line of
questions
The defendant. III testirying. tried TO
show that the prosecution was spiteful,
because she would not pay Mrs. Washing
ton $50 to escape, but Mrs. Warrington
denied it.
Judge Cole charged the jury that Ro-
setta Washington was an accomplice in
the crime upon her testimony, and CON
viction could not legally be based upon her
testimony. unless corroborated in some
material point by other evidence.
Mr. Birney stated that the government
could not ask for a conviction of murder
because of lack of proof that the defendant
knew the children TO be quick, within the
legal meaning OF the word. Judge Cole
accordingly directed that only verdict
for manslaughter could be returned.

HELD UP BY new WOMEN
Senate Committee Will Keep
Back a Favorable Report.
IT WAS FOR A COLLEGE
Act to incorporate the National Uni
versity in Danger Because Young
Ladies Are Sot Admitted to the
LawDepartment-P Progress Already
Made In Fighting the Measure.

The new woman of Washington is wide
awake to her material interests. She has
no hesltaucy, either, in telling people all
about it.
Yesterday she held up one piece of legis-
lation, and She may succeed in defeating
the measure. Today she will receive un-
expected aid from a most unsupported
source.
The bill the new woman is against just
now is the one which would incorporate
the National University. This institution
is not new college, in fact it has been
in existence for a number of years. 1t
is largely due TO this fact that the op-
position has arisen.
The university has been chartered uEdcr
the general law of the District, now it
wants to be chartered by special act OF
Congress. The plan presented was SO
strong that Sena tor Gannger, of the
subcommittee of the District Senate Com
mittee, having it i'll charge. had written
favorable report, and it was TO have
been SO reported TO the whole committee
today
THE REPORT WAS READY.
The report would have recommended
the passage of the measure on the ground
that 1t was a reputable institution OF
learning, and tie committee thought it
very unwise that any institution of learn
ing within the District Should be char.
tered other than by, special act.
The passa ge OF, the measure just now is
asked because in II short time it is pro-
posed to provide that all colleges not
chartered S hall not corduct their basi-
peSc ,,DIaSc i,,-thc
Now. since the wemen OF the District are
protesting. ScnatorN5allingcr will hold back
his report. In addition, q member of the
committee from the University of the United
States will also appear before the District
Committee today TO oppose the measure.
The women of tile District are not OPP
posed to the National University because of
Itself. They are fighting it now because it
does not live up to7itS charter. In the law
department. women are excluded, and on
this ground the figlft is being made. Mrs. E.
S. Mussey, one of the wel-known women
lawyers OF the District, wrote, among other
things, as follows:
COMPLAINT STATED.
"The National University is now opcrat-
ing under Il charter under the general Dis
trict laws, which provides that the same
advantages shall b. given to young ladies
as young men for academic ana professional
education. III direct disregard of this pro-
vision the law department of the National
University has declined for the last ten
years to admit women, though many bright,
respectable and educated young women
have from time 10 time applied"
Mr.. Henry BlOunt, of The Oaks" has
also entered his objection, and Mrs. Belva
Lock wood was at the Capitol yesterday
calling on Senator Gallingcr. She entered
her protest and claimed that she spoke with
especial authority, since she was graduated
from the law department. The bill will be
hung up now until the women are satisfied.

AS to Eating.

Beets are among the most difficult
vegetables to be digested, requiring
nearly four hours.
Maximus, the Emperor Of Rome, was
able to eat whole quarter of an OK at
one meal.
Men of great size do not always have
stomachs in proportion to their hight
or weight.
Vinegar taken with food greatly de-
laws and sometimes entirely prevents
proper digestion.
A man from 80 to 75 years of age
needs only two-thirds of the food re-
quired for working man.
Cocoa is believed to have no effect
either in promoting or retarding the di-
gestion of other food.
Condiments and stimulants are not
really foods. They are simply whips 60
appetite or digestion.
All foods should be carefully chewed,
because the gastric juice is thus ena-
bled the better to do it's work.
Never go to bed hungry. A little light
refreshments before lying down con-
duces to healthful sleep.
Beef soup is much harder of digestion
than would be supposed The time re-
quired is four hours.
Suet dumplings require about five
hours for proper digestion, and with
some people they never digest at all.
Many worms and caterpillars have no
special stomach The whole interior of
the body serves that purpose.

MARDI GRAS.
We had been told it would not be
really safe for us to venture on the
streets without an escort, so our friends
kindly called for us after dinner and we
went forth with our eyes and ears
open. As walking was a simple impoS-
sibility we adjourned to the Hof Thea
ter Cafe, where we could sit down and
watch the students without fear of
disturbance This year nearly all Of
them had chosen to dress as girls, and
the array was a bewildering one, as
they passed back and forth through
the cafe. There were simple little coun-
try maids with pink Mother Hubbard,
a sun bonnet and downcast eyes. Then
would come a huge peasant girl from
the Tyrol, and next a gay and laughing
Carmencita with her tambourine and
streaming hair. Perhaps the next one
to pass us would be fin de steele tailor
made girl, whose disguise would almost
defy detection until you saw the manly
stride. which is unmistakable. One
can initiate the voice, possibly the man
ners of woman, but never her walk.
THESE STUDENTS
All entered so thoroughly into their
character that try as one would they
could never make them forget them
selves Our friend, as an artist, knew
many of them personally, so we had a
chance to judge for ourselves, but as
their English and my German were
about on a par we did not progress
very rapidly. During the entire even
ing and even in the afternoon an or
chestra played at intervals, and as the
fun became more lively everyone would
join in the chorus and sing with their
entire soul. The favorite seemed to be
a new Rhinish song, which could never
be played too often, and at each repe-
tition would be greeted with renewed
applause During the entire day we
saw nothing which in any way could
offend lady. The students were hav-
ing the jolliest of times and throwing
themselves entirely into the spirit of
the day, but they never forgot they
were gentlemen, and the way in which
old and young, rich and poor, entered
into the sport made quite an impress
sion upon US independent and demo-
cratic Americans. Sometimes I wonder
if we are as democratic as we imag-
inc. Toward dark we adjourned to the
far-famed
RATH HAUS KELLER,
Where we supped and bad the jolliest
kind of time, but one had to be on the
watch constantly, otherwise you would
look down and find your bread had
mysteriously disappeared or your glass
had suddenly become empty for those
in mask felt that the day was theirs,
as we'll as everything eatable and drink
able in sight. At midnight the music
ceased, and although the fun continued
for some time longer, the streets soon
became quiet, and we fancied all the
cowboys and peasants, the dancing
girls and the country maids, the hand
organ men and the princes were soon
enjoying a well-earned repose, thinking
of the rest of the forty days that were
before them, or perhaps planning new
frolics for the following year. E. P. N.
