squalor and wret~hedness.

The average citizen Of Washington can
not appreciate the great sQuaior, that ex-
lists In some parts Of thea city. Saturday
night the police reported the death of a
baby on LIST street northwest, and yes
terday the coroner made an investigation.
The house is peopled by several families,
the one to which the baby in question be-
longed occupying room not twelve feet
square. Here not only was the greatest
evidence of poverty depicted, but the room
was reeking in filth. Beside the husband
and wife. there we're four children and
the corpse Of the youngest. a baby girl,
was laid out in one corner. Around it
were placed cans containing cracked ice,
and the little form had already begun to
show signs of decomposition. And yet the
family lived along right in the presence
of the dead without any seeming concern.
The other children played as If nothing
had happened, and the parents were not
the least perturbed in discussing the death
with the coroner. AS the latter left the
room he remarked: What a nest for dis
ease that Is"

AUTOMATIC CoUpLERs.
Discovery Of Device Which is Said to
be Perfect.

be Perfect.
For the past fifteen years, but especially
since the adjournment Of the conference
recently held In this city on the subject OF
automatic couplers. between the repre-
sentatives Of most Of the leading railroad
companies throughout the United States
and the interstate commerce commission,
the mechanical departments Of the rail-
way companies have been searching for
an automatic coupler for air brakes. which
would comply with the law passed some
years ago by Congress.
The Southern Railway Company has, 1t
Is asserted. at last found a device which
not only couples the cars. but uncouples
them with equal facility. This device is n
combination of air and steam couplers, and
Is intended to couple automatically the
senger cars or the air hose on freight cars.
Severe tests to which the device has been
subjected prove that thus far 1t is exactly
what 1t purports to be. One great adj
vantage which the coupler possesses is
that no one has to touch it. When the cars
come together the air signal and steam
hose all couple instantly and perfectly.
There is no screwing together by hand or
adjusting. There is no leak. and when it
Is desired to uncouple, the ordinary car
coupling being released, the cars pull apart
ana the device is not strained in the least
1t Is expected that the adoption Of this
rev device will save the Southern Rail-
way Company an expense Of many thous-
ands Of dollars per year. itlout attempt
Ing to go into detailed explanation Of It,
1t may be said that the attachment is fitted
underneath the car coupler, OF whatever
make. AS the cars come together a tongue
on each attachment attaches the other a
spring Ii forced open, two heads with
parallel surfaces. containing the orifices
leading to the air and steam pipes come
together and are held by a head and slot
under pressure Of a stifr spring. A perfect
adjustment is made, and the air, signal
and steam connections are completely
coupled. There are no complicated parts,
nothing to get out of order nothing to
wear and no strain on any part to cause
a break.
The merits of the coupler are that It re-
quires no attention from trainmen, saves
time In coupling. removes. an element of
danger from the work Of the employees, and
last, most important of all, In an eco
nomic sense, saves money by practically
dispensing with the use of hose II the
cars break apart the air uncouples with
out breaking any part Of the attachment.
II, for any reason. the air couples and
the cars do not, the air device suffers moth
ing when the cars pull apart, and it will
couple again when the cars come together
Placed with mechanical precision under
the car coupler, the impact is borne by the
buffers above. and the air attachment be-
low gets only sufficient contact to make a
coupling.

By an act passed by the Maryland legis-
lature during the session just. ended, the
county commissioners Of Montgomery
county are authorized to issue bonds to
the amount Of SIS 1000, and to use the pro-
ceeds in Transforming the old Rockville

Echo and the Georgetown and Tenleytown
railroads, above Tenleytown, to Rockville
a distance of about ten miles, 1t is under
stood that arrangements will be made at
once to place the bonds and to begin the
work. This Improvement Is regarded by
the residents throughout that locality as
one OF great Importance, for the reason 1t
Will better the present facilities Of COM
munication with this city. Washington is
the market for a great deal Of the produce
raised In that section, and the farmers and
others who drive to the city have long
felt the necessity for better roads, 1t is
believed that when what Unknown as the

CHRISTIAN sCHLAG's SUICIDE.
His Dead Body Found ON Shores of
Eastern Branch.

His Dead Body Found ON Shores of
Eastern Branch.
The dead body of Christian Schlag was
found on the shore Of the Eastern Branch
some distance above Twining City, late Sat
urday afternoon. Schlag, who was a sa-
loonkeeper, disappeared from his home, No.
1928 H street northwest, about two weeks
ago. He had been sick, and his wife
thought when he left the house that he was
going to take an afternoon walk, as had
been his custom, and would be back in time
for supper. He did not return at the usual
time. however, and Mrs. Schlag SAINT for
some of her husbands most intimate
friends and informed them of the circum-
stances. The next day Inspector Mattingly
was asked to have the detectives look out
for him.
1t was supposed that he had gone to one
of the hospitals, but his name did not APP
pear on the records Of any of these institu-
tons. Friends had made every effort to
locate the missing man. and finally all hope
of his returning was abandoned. 1t was be-
lisved that he had left the city, and some
of his friends suggested that he had gons
to Germany.
Saturday afternoon Mr. A. Thorn of
Twining City was cunning along the shore
Of the branch, and while on his way home
he discovered the body of a man in a clump
Of bushes some distance above high-watsr
mark. At first he thought 1t was some one
asleep. but upon closer inspection he found
that 1t was the body of q dead man.
The police were notified and thu body was
removed to the morgue. Papers and a
watch and chain on the body revealed the
identity. The discovery of the watch and
monsy on the body showed that no robbery
had been committed.
1t developed that the dead man had suf-
fered from rheumatism and had been in
the habit Of taking morphine pills. When
he left home hs had q box of pills in his
pocket. and 1t Is thought he took q number
of them with suicidal intent
Coroner Carr yesterday examined the
body and gave a certificate Of death In &C.
cordance with -ths circumstances. The body
was then turned over to the family.
