TO USE AUTOMOBILES.

Brigadier General Greely, Chief
Signal Officer, has invited pro-
posals for furnishing the army
with three horseless carriages.
with which some interesting ex-
periments will be conducted. The
experiments will be performed in
the vicinity Of this city, says a
Washington telegram. Possess
ing an electric motor and battery,
it is General Greely's idea that
the carriage may be used for
paying out wire and promptly
connecting two points between
which communication is desired.
II such communications are de-
sired under the present system, il
/ is necessary to load instruments
into a wagon or on horseback
and send them to their destina-
ton. As the horseless carriage
possesses the necessary electrical
appliances for its own operations,
it is believed that it will be more
convenient for such use.
This experiment is one Of q
number that will be tried. Gen.
eral Greely's progressiveness has
been a matter of much comment
in army and scientific circles,
and it is said that the horseles,
carriage experiments are the firs
to be conducted in any army il
the world.

thought of shutting off the me-

to understand how,sane and GEN

the police court yesterday, but the per-
formance was not as interesting as 1t
generally is on trial day. the bill being
very short and the specia1ties of little i'm

a warning Judge Sullivan issued to huck-
sters who peddle impure food stuffs about
the city. Dam Crowley and H. Herman
were on trial for selling a case Of rotten
ielles in violation of the health regula-
items. 1t was proved that Herman was
not implicated in the deal and his case
was dismissed, but with regard to Crow
ley. the case being proved, Judge Sullivan
took occasion to read lecture on ped
dlers who buy condemned stuff, fruit and
many other articles of diet, and hawk
it about the residence sections. The de-
PENDANT had pleaded ignorance of the fact
that the jellies were not good but Judge
Sullivan was in doubt and said it was time
to make an example to act as a warning
to others. He accordingly fined Crowley
$40.
T. H. Bridget, plain drunk, was fined
the usual amount, S.. In the cases of
George Pollock and William Mcintyre
who were accused of assault the COM
planning witnesses failed to appear and
the defendants were discharged.

A STORY OF CRUELTY.
Mildred Clark Makes Grave Accusations
Against Her Mother

girl Of Is or 16 years of age who gave
the name of Mildred E. Clark visited po-
lice headquarters yesterday and told Cap
tain O'Leary story of cruel treatment
which she said she was subjected to by a
heartless mother. The girl said her mother
had been married twice, but had separated
from both her husbands and was now liv-
ing with another man at 210 Dakota
street. She said her mother accused her
of the same violation of morals of which
she was herself guilty. When she rebelled
against the unjust accusations the mother
would beat her and once had threatened
to shoot her. She said she could stand
the mothers treatment no longer and
as she was strong enough to work, she
had decided to get something to do and
leave home. She was afraid the mother
would interfere, however. and she wanted
to know if the police would protect her
in such an event. Captain O'Leary re-
ferred the girl to the county attorney.
