MUST GIVE UP CHILD.


John F.. Bowden was before Judge
Rogers in the appellate court this af-
ternoon on charge of contempt or
court. Some tine ago the court gave
Bowdens wife Louella Bowden the
custody OF her children pending the
hearing of a petition for divorce filed
by Mrs. Bowden. Mr.. Bowden took one
of the children TO Fall River, Mass. The
order of the court was that the children
were not to be taken out OF the juris-
dictfon of the court MIR. Bowden got
Mrs. Bowden TO give her written con-
sent 10 the child being taken away. but
she claims this consent was given for
only one day and that Mr.. Bowden has
since refused to give the child up. Mr..
Bowdcn said the reason he kept the
child was it's undertaking had not
been changed In four weeks and there
was other evidence OF It's being poorly
cared for.
Judge Rogers directed Bowden to re-
turn the child TO It's mother but did
not think Il necessary 10 take any fur
thcr Proceedings.
Van Slyck a Mumford are Mrs Bow
dens attorneys and r. p. Owen was
counsel FOR the defendant.

ROBBED WHILE He SLEPT.
KnssNa Relieved ofAll Ills Apparel and Cutting is
Arrested for The Theft.

William a. Cutting was brought into
the Sixth district court today in a state
of undress which almost brought him
under the ban of the law for quite a
different offense with which he stood
charged.
William wore the remnants of a call
leo shirt, torn undershirt, a disrepu-
table pair OF pantaloons and a far away
look.
He was accused OF stealing clothing
of the value of $17 from Mathew Kin
sella, and pleading not guilty, was held
I'm $500 for trial next Friday.
Kinsella came here from a place near
Boston and during Thursday got pretty
drunk. Cutting, who is a strapping big
fellow, picked up Kinsella and took him
TO q hotel on North Main street. and oc-
cupied the same room with him.
Kinsella thought that he was in the
hands of a good Samaritan and felt
thankful that he had not fallen into the
hands of the Philstines. as he consid-
cred the police to be.
Early yesterday morning Kinsella
had change of heart-he hadn't much
else to change. for his whilom friend

still had on the stolen garments. Ii was
because he was forced TO Jail with them
that Cutting made so disreputable an
appearance when brought before Judge
And yet William said that
he wasn't guilty.

JUST A MERE BOY.
but for His Electric Gun $3OO,OOO
Has Been offered by the BRIT
ish Government.

1t is generally supposed that in in
ventive ingenuity the Yankee boy leads
the world, and we always point with
pride to our Zen Franklns, Eli Whit
neys, and Tom Edisons, but an English
lad not yet of age, with an invention
for which he has already refused more
than a quarter of a million dollars. has
made a pretty fair start in the direction
of fame.
This noiseless and smokeless electric
gun invented by MIR. Newman, young
apprentice at Whitehead's torpedo fac
Tory, exists ut present only in the tiny
model weighing seven pounds.
With this small weapon, however, the
inventor has made very satisfactory
experiments, shattering a target at "a
distance of a mile and also at five miles
range. The gun has a very high muzzle
velocity. 1t is said that the inventor
has refused an offer of C 900 from the
admiralty for his invention. Meanwhile
he is carefully guarding his secret while
he constructs a model weighing 100
weight. This he hopes to try probably
in July. Mr.. Newman is the son of a
Portland grocer. His genius has de-
veloped early, for he is still in his TWEEN
tieth year.

SOAP SPOILS BEER.
Two Ounces of 1t VIII Speedily Ruin
Million Dollars Worth
of Lager.

do you know that $1,000,000 worth
of beer could be utterly spoiled by two
ounces of soap?" said Madison avenue
saloonist to Cincinnati Enquirer man.
"Well, it's fact. A little pellet of soap
any Kind of soap-dropped into n cask
containing hundreds of gallons would
knock the life out of it quicker than
you could say Jack Robinson. The lye
and the grease in the soap simply stops
the fermentation of the beer, and it
loses its effervescence at once. Some
years ago prominent brewing com
pany of this town had 10000 gallons of
a particularly fine brew stored in it's
cellars. One day member of the firm
tapped one of the casks, and subse-
quently others, and discovered that they
had 10000 gallons of fluid that wasn't
worth as much as SO much water. Every
gallon of ii was as lifeless as canal
aqua pura. A brewmaster who had
short time previous lost his position
with the firm was suspected of the job,
in revenge for his dismissal but the
brewing company had no proof, and, be-
sides, the man might have been inno-
cent. But there was every evidence that
soap had been used"

ARTIFICIAL-LIMB BUSINESS.
The War with Spain Had No Effect
Some improvements Re-
Gently Made.

The only wounded soldier of the late
war who has reached New York and
been supplied with an artificial leg was
a member of the Astor battery, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser
During the civil war 10000 men were
deprived of limbs, and in the recent
war only 30, half of whom met with
their losses either in camp or on war
vessels, not in action.
The manufacture of artificial limbs
has been developed rapidly of late; one
firm alone in this city has on its books
the names of 10000 persons who have
been or are to be supplied with artifi-
cial limbs.
The proprietor of one of the largest
manufactures in this city said recent
ly: WARS have very little effect on our
business. The railroads are the great
est destroyers of life and limb, not eX-
cepting disease. find that 100, 900 per-
sons are killed or MANNED yearly on the
railroads of the United States alone,
principally employees, very small per-
centage being passengers. Up to this
time the manufacture of artificial
limbs has been considered local in
dustry, but so great degree of perfec-
tion has been attained that New York
manufacturers are shipping to all parts
of the world"
Recent improvements are the rubber
hand and foot. The ductile fingers are
made of Norway iron, the most MALE
able of metals, which enables the per-
son wearing the hand to have it easily
assume any position. The improved
foot has a spring mattress embodied in
the rubber, which gives it greater elas-
ticity, durability and natural action
than those with articulated joints used

NAME RECALLS TRAGEDY.
Stream I'm Colorado Christened by
Spaniards the River of
Lost Souls.

When Spain owned all Mexico and
Florida, as the vast region of the Mis-
sissippi valley was called long before
the United States had an existence as
separate government, the command
ing officer at Santa Fe received an order
to open communication with the coun-
try of Florida. For this purpose an in
fantry regiment was selected, 1t left
Santa Fe rather late in the season and
wintered at point on the old trail now
known as Trinidad. In the spring the
colonel, leaving all camp followers be-
hind him, both men and women,
marched down the stream, known to
he Mexicans as the River lie Purgatoire,
but to the Americans in Colorado,
through which the river flows, as the
"Picketwire," which flows for many
miles through magnificent canyons.
Not one of the regiment returned or
was ever heard of. When all hone had
departed irom the wives, children and
friends left behind at Trinidad, infor-
wall was sent up through the land. The
priests and people then called this
stream "El Rio de las Animal Perditas
(the river of lost souls)." Years after,
when the Spanish power was weakened
and French trappers came into the
country under the auspices of the fur
companies, they adopted more con-
else name; they called the river lie
Purgatoire." Then came the great
American bullwhacker. Utterly unable
to twist his tongue into any such
Frenchified expressions, he called the
stream with the sad story "Picketwire,
and by that name it is known to all
frontiersmen, trappers and the settlers
