THE NET TIGHTENING.
The Negro, Perry, Charged With
Numbering Miss Morton, in Dam

ger.
Cambridge Mass. Nov. 1.-THE po-
lice spent to-day investigating the
past life and movements of George L.
o. Perry. the young negro who yes
terday, upon the release of Alan G.
Mason, was charged with the murder
of Miss Clara A. Morton. at .Waverly.
Tonight the Sonerville police found
Perry's sweetheart and after persua-
sion, got her to exhibit whatever jew
elry she had received from Perry.
Among the trinketS was a gold chain,
which was Immediately recognized as
having belonged to Miss McPhee. Pri-
vate marks on the chain proved the
identification, and the jeweler who sold
it to Miss McPhee later described his
own upon it. The chain had been given
by Perry's sweetheart to her sister.
The officers next secured letters writ
ten by Perry to his sweetheart and one
to her sister, and in the latter missive
there is reference to a chain and the
injunction not to say a word about it.
When Miss McPhee was in the hoSpi-
tai. during lucid moment, she asked:
Where is my chain?" At the time
there was an abrasion on her neck
caused by the forcible Tightening of a
chain worn there. After her death
search was made for the chain. but
it was not pawned in the vicinity. and
no clue to the murderer was secured
in this way. The police refuse to give
the names of the girls.
New York, Nov. IA negro about
20 years of age, giving the name of
Thomas Jenkins, was arrested here to-
night after snatching a pocketbook
from a woman in the street. The

A Church Built of One Tree.

Think of an entire church being con-
structed of the wood from "A single
tree! Santa Clara, California. has such
house of worship. In 1888 the first
Baptist service held in that region was
conducted under an oak tree. When
the same Baptist society decided to
build a church the site ON which the
tree stood was selected. This monster
of the forest. which cast an acre of
shade, was then cut down at II height
OF twenty-five feet and the timber was
cut into lumber. The big stump was
partially followed and allowed to
stand as the church tower. A high
stecple was erected on it, and the
church was built from the lumber
made from that giant oak. When the
church was completed loo feet of
lumber remained unused. The build
ing is thirty feet wide by seventy feet
deep. 1t Is II strong and handsome
structure and is one of the ''show
places" of Santa Clara.

Tho Empress of Japan.

In the matter of the emancipation of
Japanese women it is not generally
known that the lady who has done
more than anybody else for her sex In
the land of the chrysanthemum is the
present Japanese Empress. Her infin-
ence has been exerted in small things
as in large She has entirely revolu-
donized the education of girls. and
the cornerstone will be put on the sys-
tenn early next year by the opening OF
a university for women in Toxic. 1t
was she who. in the early seventies,
by her example, put an end to the old
custom of married women blackening
their teeth From the western point
of view the most commendable inno-
vation for which her majesty has
been responsible is the Introduction of
European dress in place of the fault
less costume of Japan. Still, there is
even a reason for this, the contention
being that Japanese lady is treated
more respectfully by her husband
when she is in European dress than
when retaining her national costume

LoNDoN's STOKE.
HOW 1T MAY De LgsseNED.
Legal Restrictions Likely to Fail
Must Rely on Gas and Electricity
Use Of Gas for Cooking Helps
Development of Electrical Power
Will Lead to Fewer Chimneys.

Legislation, unless of very drastic
and revolutionary character cannot
be looked upon us providing a possible
solution of the smoke problem in Lon
don. Signs are not wanting that II
will not be by legal methods. whether
carried into effect by local authorities
or In consequence of Individual effort,
that an increasing and permanent i'm
provement In the atmosphere OF Lon.
don may be brought about. Two
things most distinctly point to future
developments which will all be in the
right direction. These are the use
of gaseous fuel and the more general
adoption of electrical methods.
The gas which is used for lighting
purposes is now being largely employ
ed for purposes of cooking. aud also,
though in n smaller degree, for the
fires in the living rooms of houses.
The more this use of gas will con-
tinue to grow the less will he the
domestic smoke. But apart from the
inbOrn repugnace which many people
feel to gas fire in place of a coal
fire, the cost of Illuminating gas is
too great to permit its general adop-
ton. If only the gas companies would
provide second supply of gas. suit
able for heating purposes alone, then
the greatly reduced price of this would
give an impetus to the use
of gaseous fuel, and one way
would be opened toward the
lessening of the smoke. A gaseous
fuel suitable for heating alone, and
having no Illuminating qualities can
be made very cheaply, and could be
used in place of coal for many in
dustrial purposes.
But it is possible to look even little
further ahead, to the time when illum-
mating gas Will no longer be used,
and Its place be entirely taken up by
electricity. When this comes to pass.
London will still be intersectcd by
countless empty and useless gas pipes,
and would be more natural than replac-
Ing by the gas companies of their
present plant with II modified form
suitable for the generation of heat
ing gas to be distributed in the old
pipes instead of abandoning them AS
so much scrap iron. This would mean
that the domestic smoke, and that
from the smaller industrial fires would
be done away with.
This idea may appear to be rather ITO
plan, but II may be asked, who would
have dared TO predict thirty years ago
that in 1901 electric light would have
replaced illuminating gas to the extent
to which 1t has?
Another possibility. which amounts
almost to probability, is that IN the
course of n few years the development
of power will become much more CEN
tralized and will be distributed cleo
tricnlly. The further this is carried
the fewer will be the industrial chin
neys. and another stage will have
been reached towards II complete pur-
lficatiOn of the London atmospheric
Casters Magazine.
