Marine Uniform Eouna.

marines uniform that was believed to
have been worn by 8. W. Mills, member
of the marine corps. was found in the
shrubbery In the White lot. Just south of
the Presidents house. at an early hour this
morning In one Of the pockets was a let
ter addressed to Mills. which had been writ
ten by the mans mother. who is in New
Jersey The woman in the letter asks him
to get his discharge II he can and return
home.
Mills had been sick, and only yesterday
he was discharged from the Naval Hospi-
tai. When the clothes were found the DO
lice had an idea that the man who had
worn them had jumped into the river, but
the officers at the barracks think he has
left this jurisdiction.
The clothes were found by Samuel s..
Skidmore of i44l Ohio avenue, and turned
over to the police.

Now comes the report that three children
at an orphans home have been murdered
by the use of formaldehyde in the milk
on which they are fed. 1t appears that. ii
the same institution. during the summer Of
1898. thirty children died, supposedly from
the same cause. We throw up our hands
in horror when we hear that in China and
India girl babies are drowned to put them
out of the world. because grinding poverty
makes 1t SO difficult for their parents to
rear them. What shall We think of the
temper OF our own community that will not
prevent the slaughter Of the innocents,
caused by sordid greed for a few dollars
that may be saved by drugging milk?
Again we adjure the board of health TO
make the most searching investigation and
see that everything possible is done to
secure the fullest penalty of the law
" herever milk has been drugged. We fail
to see why charge of mansaughter is not
the proper thing in this. just as In any other
case of willful poisoning.

Something for Women to Think Over
From the American Sportsman

Does it not seem almost incredible that
a good Christian woman. with a heart as
tender as a spring chicken, should wear an
ornament in a Christian church that cost
the life of SO beautiful a creature as an
egret. a scarlet tanger or a Baltimore
oriole? What satisfaction can there be in
a headgear plume that cost the life OF a
mother-bird, whose fedglings were left to
starve in the nest? And yet. from the
Everglades of Florida to the arctic circle.
the beautiful plumage birds are hunted
solely for the barbaric purpose of decorat-
ing ladies' bonnets.
