Tortures, CrippIes and DefOrmS.

A LUCKY ART STUDENT.

Few American art students
located in Paris are as lucky
as was the now famous illus
traitor, Oscar Holiday Bang
hart, the artist whose pictures
are creating so much favor
able comment and which are
at present being offered free
with The Sunday Call. His
work found almost immediate
acceptance with the great
Paris illustrated weeklies. So
from this source alone he was
in receipt of a large income,
besides being a wealthy man
from his commercial invest
ments. Consequently he was
not reduced to the straits Of
so many young American
students, who almost starve
while endeavoring to culti-
vate art on a little oatmeal.

MUST OBEY THE LAW
CHAUFFEURS FORBIDDEN TO
SPEED THEIR AUTOMOBILES.
Four Arrests Made, but Collateral For
feited in All but One
Case.

The bicycle policemen throughout the
city and county are paying particular at
tention to chauffeurs who insist in speed
ing their horseless vehicles over the smooth
streets Of the city and roads in the county
at a greater rate of speed than Is allowed
by law. AS a result of Judge Kimbalrs
declaration the other day of the intention
to impose severe fines on automobile opera
tors who do not obey the law to the letter,
there has been, the bicycle policemen re-
port. disposition upon the part of chauf-
feurs to run their machines within the
limit fixed by law.
Four offenders fell into the clutches of
the law during yesterday and last night,
but only one of them appeared in the court
this morning, the others preferring to take
the alternative and forfeit collateral. Geo.
c. Kendall, resident of New York, the
only one who appeared for a hearing, was
taken into custody by Mounted Policeman
Lauten while near the corner of 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue yesterday after
noon. When the case was called before
Judge kimball the officer testified that he
followed Kendall for two squares. and the
speed indicator on his bicycle registered a
speed of sixteen miles an hour.
Interpose Objection.
II don't how that be-" Kendall
uecIdTeu, BECAUSE tne DeSt speed L can
get out of my machine is eighteen miles an
hour, but might have been going little
over twelve miles when I WAS arrested"

then his honor said. land it will cost
You So
But your honor" Kendall protested,
I'm willing to bet that my machine was
not going at a rate of sixteen miles an
hour"
The csurt declined to take the bet and
Kendall paid the fine.
Robert S. Clark. young man who said
he was army officer was taken into GUS
tody by Mounted Policeman Rollins for
speeding his machine along 10th street
northwest. yesterday afternoon, for dis
lance of several squares at rate of TWEEN
tyfour miles an hour. He deposited $40
collateral at the tenth precinct police sta
ton. which was forfeited by his non-ap-
pearance in court this morning. A man
who gave his name as John Smith and
Frank Joy, a broker. each forfeited IS for
violating the law while on H street north
east last night.
Objection has been made about the small
amount of collateral taken at the station
houses. In numerous instances s. is all
that is demanded. which, 1t is stated, the
people would rather forfeit than to appear
in court and run the risk of being heavily
fined.

Illuminating Gas.
Rudolph Henry Peterson ended his life
last night by inhaliss illuminating gas.
To make certain he used a rubber tube.
His body was found by a sister.
Peterson was plumber, twenty-five
years old, and lived at sO4 H street north
west. where he ended his life. He was
employed by E. G. S1hafer. in 18th street.
The young man had been Respondent over
the death of his wife. which occurred
about three weeks ago. A six-weeks-old
child survived it's mother Peterson had
said nothing to his, friends or relatives
concerning his intention to take his life.
Before adjusting the tube he wrote note,
which he left on the table in the dining
room. In it he said he was tired of living.
and made the request that his body be
buried beside that of his wife. He also
wrote:
Don't light the gas in the kitchen, as
there would likely be an explosion"
Peterson was in apparently good spirits.
when he conversed with relatives and
friends in the house about 8 O'Clock, and
nothing more was seen of him until about
1885, when his sister went to the kitchen.
fortunately she did not make light in
the kitchen when she entered and no eX-
plcsion occurred.
She aroused the members of the family
and physician was summoned. Coroner
hewitt gave certificate of death in ac-
cordance with the facts. Members of the
Plumbers Union will probably arrange for
the funeral.
