Washingtons police have again demon
strated their capacity to apprehend GRIM
trails. The murderer Smith, whose afro
cious butchery was committed only last
evening, was captured without difficulty
and without the loss of valuable time. A
bit Of intelligent thought, an intimate
knowledge of the haunts of the suspected
man. and prompt action on the clues at
hand served to land the wretch behind the
bars even before the community was fully
aware of his crime. His confession makes
1t sure, Of course, that this labor has not
been in vain The authorities Of Mary
land owe debt Of gratitude to the police
of the District for their efficient aid.

A ChIld's Fancy.

Allowances should always be made for
the queer little fancies that take posses
sion of children at various stages of their

to the mother or nurse to find that what
yesterday was accepted as matter of
course is today rejected with high dis
dain, but such instances are continually
occurring, and must be met phflosophi-
cally. An Illustration of this point may
be gathered from the record of a pecu-
liarly docile and lovabie child, who, hav-
ing been accustomed from babyhood to be
put to bed awake without resenting it
by so much as a wbimper, suddenly re-
belled in the most unexpected way when
over two years old, insisting in the most
forcible manner upon having some one to
sit by her. CoaxiDg and punishment were
