aginary Child.

Mister, won't you please give me a few
pennies to help bury my dead child?' asked
a colored woman named Rose Spencer of a
storekeeper in Southeast Washington Sat-
urday morning.
When did your child die?' the merchant
asked her.
Rose made a prompt response, and tell
ing the age and ailment of the child, and
shed few tears as an evidence of good
faith. The merchant had reason to doubt
the truth of her story and declined to give
her any money.
Policeman Narrower learned from other
sources that night that a woman had been
soliciting aid by claiming she had a dead
child to bury. ard yesterday afternoon he
placed Rose behind the bars.
Mr. narrower she said. when arrested,
Il didn't tell no man | had a dead child"

the workhouse Tuesday, and since then, the
officer learned, she had been collecting
money instead of working. A citizen of
whom she had requested a sum of money
appeared against her in court this morn
ing, and Judge Kimball sent her down in

STORMY SCENES.
Almost q Fight In the New York Leg
islnture.

Albany, N. T., March 22.-The Assem-
bly,, after continuous session Of nearly
nine hours today, passed by party vote
the three New York city police bills One
Of these creates single headed police
commission; another divorces the bureau
Of elections from the control Of the police
commissioners and the third makes It a
misdemeanor for police otacer to inter
fers in any way with an election officer.
The session was devoted exclusively to an
acrimonious and vituperative political
debate, the sensational feature of which
was bitter encounter between Assem-
blymen Hamburger and Ware.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Har-
burger referred TO the alleged prosecu-
tion OF the flower girls in New York city
| by Gov. Roosevelt, when the latter was
| o police comm missioner.
| Mr.. Ware arose and said: Il never
he0rd of Il flower girl In New York.
don't believe Mr.. Harburger ever did.
| Mr.. hamburger retorted: ~ am sur
prised that man like MIR. Ware, wht
brought so many disreputable cases be
fore the excise board Of which l was q
member, should be ignorant of the exist
enoe OF such characters.
| Mr. Ware characterized the statement
made by MIR. Hamburger as an absolut.
falsshood.
| "While I was a member of the New
York city excise board, thundered fortl
Mr.. Hamburger. "every case that Mr.
Ware brought before us was thrown ou
by the board because Of the cisreputabl
| character of his clients and state thu
truth, so help me God"
Mr.. Ware endeavored to answer Mr.
Harburger. but Speaker Nixon rsppe'
the gentlemen to order and called upoi
the speaker to confine his remarks to th'
question before the house. After Mr.
| Hnrburger had ceased speaking Mr.. War
walked over to the formers desk ant
accosted him with the remark: "4ot
are loafer.' >"
1t looked as II u personal enuou1 te
would ensue but the friends OF both prln
cipals intsrfered and parted them. Tn
speaker also raped the members t
| order.
