The high rate Of mortality among the

annoyance to municipal health boards.
because their endeayors to reduce it have
always failed.
on account Of incorrect representations
the great majority of our people has come
to believe that this excessive death rate
is due to peculiarities OF the race, and II
cannot be helped But an examination of
the moruary records kept before the

PREVENTS JAIL ESCAPES.
Prisoners Who Attempt to Break Out
Asphyxiate Themselves
InItt l.iUo InsI

One of the neatest inventions that have
been made recently is the enc planned by
F. V. Sinlms Mr.. SimmS was greatly in
terested in the Jail delivery, and immedi-
ately after the prisoners escaped he set 20
work to devise a plan To prevent any SINH
lar occurrence
AIr. Sinms proposes To surround each cell
by an alright compartment This Will be
filled with carbon diOxide under pressure
much higher than that of air. In each COM
partment there will be a small retOrt, con-
timing humps of marble, covered with di-
-luted sulphuric acid. This will fill the tank
with gas. In another part OF the COmpart-
mcnt small rubber balloon. partly filled
with air or other gas, is held in place by
wire frame.
Fastened to the top of the balloon is a
thin metal plate connected 20 an electric
wire Directly over the plate is the point
of a screw to which the otter wire is fast
ened. This screw is turned until il almost
touches the plate, and the wires are con-
nected with bell and battery. When
prisoner once bores a hole through the wall
of his cell the carbon dinxide fills the room
and lie is aSphyxiated.
In the meantime. the pressure being re-
dUccd in the compartment. the balloon viii
expand, and the plate viii come in contact
with the screw. When the circuit is closed
the bell will ring and arouse the turn
keys. Mr.. Simms did not explain about the
ventilation, and this seems to be the chief
dra wback to the plan. IL would be simple
matter for the prisoner tn open his win~
dOws and allow the gas tO escape.

Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, the generals

death OF her husband she was given a
pension OF $4,000 a year by Congress,
being the fourth Presidents widow to be
thus provided for, the Others being Mrs.
Tyler, Mrs. Polk, and Mrs. Garfield. Mrs
Grant was often with her husband on the

TO the family tree of George Washington

upon the streets, often driving but more
often walking. Pedestrians became ac-
customed to meeting him. and it was not
considered any unusual or extra ordinary
sight. On such occasions the President

GRANT AND THE TOURIST.
1t is related that one day when Grant was
walking along Fifteenth street an English
tourist came out of the Citizens Bank,
where he had gone to have some exchange
transferred into cash. The tourist slipped
on the top step. came down on the pave
ment with force that looSened his joints,
and nearly knocked Gen. Grant, who was
passing at the time. off his feet.
His hat rolled out in the street, but he
picked ii up and smilingly assured the un-
fortunate Englishman that no harm had
been done. When the latter hastened TO offer
lis apologies. A spectator asked the tourist
II he knew with whom he had collidad and
upon receiving a negative reply, told him
that IL was the President OF the United
States. The visitor expressed his unbound
ed establishment; first, that the President
should be thus walking along the street, and
second, that he should be SO polite and affa-
bic TO strangers.

Stuwvart and her son, Joseph Murray, We're
SAID to have cruelty treated her. The child
says her name is Leila Revely. but Mrs
S;uwvart calls her Josie stuwvart, and
claims to have adoption papers for her
She did not produce the papers.
Leila says SHE was SO frequently and
cruelty beaten that four months ago she
took paris green to end Ter miserable ex-
istcDce. She declared Friday that if size
could have found the poison Thursday
night she would never again have felt
blows and cuffs.
The direct cause OF the Humane So
ciety officers action was a beating which
John Murray gave Leila Thursday, after
noon. NeighDOrS and the child herself
say that he caught her in the street and
struck her with his fists. One witness
says that she protested to Murray, and he
threatened to treat her in the same man

Child because She ran into the street when
his mother gave her task.
Murray is thirty years old, of medium
size and build, and does nothing in par

Mcdonald. Murray and his mother say
that the girl swallowed paris green by
accident. They state that She was eating
chcese, and the poison got on it-by chance.
Dr. Bracket, who has an office on Nine

several days to restore her to health.
