Washington, Oct. 5.-A desperate hand to hand encounter with an arm ed insane man who was determined to see President Roosevelt, occurred in the vestibule of the white house, shortly before noon today. The man who gave the name of Peter Elliott and his home as Minneapolis was over powered by the officers ov duty at the white house. He was then placed in a police van. in the custody of two officers, and started for the jail. Seeming to realize then for the first time that he was under arrest, Elliott began a most furious struggle for his liberty. He drew a revolver and at tempted to shoot Officer Cissell, who finally wrenched the weapon from the maniac's hand. The officers were un- able to control the violent man.
 Officer Cissell summoned help, by discharging his revolver when Chief Officer Thomas Stone Parker, of the white house force, rushed to the van and assisted in overpowering the viol-

judge gave him sixteen years in state prison, iustifying the unusually heavy sentence on the ground that the house broken into belonged to ''One of the most respectable families on Staten Island. :"
 The state prison at Sing Sing is so unsanitary that it has been condemned as unfit for human habitatiOn by the state board of health, the state prison commission, and the New York prison association. The cells are SO infected with tuberculosis that prisoners who enter in perfect health soon contract the disease, and a sentence to d short Imprisonment is often practically a sentence of death.
 This young German. whose conduct daring the six years that he has been in prison has always been perfect, has just been pardOhed out; but in what condition: \ medical expert who has examined him reports that ''the whole of the left lung is involved with the tuberculosis process. and the apex of the right lung also shows evidence of trouble" 7" Efforts are now being made to secure his pardon from the German government for the military offense of desertion, so that be may go home to his mother to die.
 This is only one instance; there are other states where conditions are fully as bad. Such facts are an object les son showing the need of having the more humane half of society, the ma ternal element, more fully represented i'll public affairs.
 if the mothers of New York and other states had a vote, would they keep up prisons so unwhOlesome as to infiict capital punishment upon men and boys who have been sentenced only to a short term of confinement?

CLUB LADIES
 TALK BUSINESS
Interesting Meeting Ot
 the Monday Club.
Plans Are Formulated For the Practical Work of the
 Next Year.

The Monday club held its initial meeting for the year on Monday after noon in the bright sunny and cheer ful room in the new public school building, occupied by the kinder garten. There was a good attendance of members. and great interest was i manifested in the meeting. The pres ident, Mrs BID. Billiughurst, presid- ed, and Mrs. T. A. Bate read the minutes of the last meeting which were approved by the club. In ac- cordanee with custom the president made her annual address, in which she expressed her views on what par ticular work the club should engage in during the year outside of the rOu- tine of regular literary work. At the conclusion of her address other mem bers were given an opportunity of ex- l pressing their views on the same sub ject, and the opportunity was taken advantage of by several members. The various addresses demonstrated that the members have three things upper most in their minds for the practical work of the club, viz. aid to the free library, beautifying the grounds of the public school and the introduc- tion of manual training in the schools.
 It will be remembered that the Mon day club took the initiative towards establishing the free library, and it was solely through the efforts of its mem bers that the enterprise was under taken. After it had been gotten we'll under way, it was practically taken out of the hands of the club in some way or other, just how no one seems to know, and it dropped into a state of inocuOus desuetude, in which con- dition it remained for two or three years. Now that the building has been erected and aid is needed, the members of the club have returned to their first lOve-and object of their creation, and passed a motion to appro- Pildtc clO ptE mOutu lONdiuS us sup port.
 A few years ago the club took up the subject of beautifying the school rooms and for that purpose secured a number of fine pictures and presented them to the schools and along this same line now they take up the ques- ton of beautifying the grounds, which will no doubt develop equally satis- factory results.
 Manual training for the public schools has also been subject dear to the hearts of many of the members and it is a subject worthy of their best efforts and will no doubt result in the final accomplishment of the ob- iect.
 The club is divided this year into different sections each of which holds a separate meeting during the month, the musical section being in session this afternoon at the residence of Mrs J. c. Herndon. Yesterdays meeting had musical section annex to it, be- ing a beautiful solo. rendered most sweetly by Mrs. May Buck Fine.
 The club decided to hold its regular meetings during the year ID the kin dergaIten room in the public school building.> The members yesterday visited the sewing room presided over by Miss Corbett, and which is being maintained by a member of the club, and were highly pleased with the methods employed by Miss Corbett, who thoroughly understands her busi- ness and who will make a success of this department.

The English farmer makes use Of
mathematics in his work, says a Lon
don paper. Suppose, for example, that
he wishes to know the weight of his
turnip crop while it is still in the
ground, which is sometimes a matter
of Importance, a simple calculation
will give him the information.
1t is the custom in England to plant
turnips in ridges twenty-eight inches
apart; this makes ninety ridges to the
acre. The farmer selects a row where
the crop seems about the average and
pulls up all the turnips in a measured
yard of the row and weighs them.
Assuming that they weigh ten
pounds, c simple calculation shows
that the crop averages a little more
than twenty-eight tons to the acre. IL
they weigh eleven pounds, the average
will be about thirty-one tons to the
acre.

A Plea For Descriptive Titles.

Setting aside the food not to be
counted as literature, the naming of a
book that is worthy Of a name is a
matter of real moment. Two methods
see-l TO have been followed-that of
using the name of a leading character,
as "Jane Eyre" and Rob Roy" the
other that of giving some hint of the
nature of the book. as in VANITY Fair
and The Cloister and the Hearth"
The first method has no justification.
What we plead for is that a title shall
contain the soul or the keynote of the
book. Then the author and reader
start on fair terms. Jane Austen, a
consummate artist, understood this
well, as in pride and Prejudice" but
forsook her advantage in 'Emma"-a
better book and susceptible to as tell
ing a title. 1t is difficult to estimate
what would have been the loss to lit
erature if 1.-The Scarlet Letter. had
been labeled Hester Prynne' and
1.-The House of Seven Gables'-a title
that has worked its way into architec-
ture-had been called THE Pyn-
cheons DIR Theodore T. Munger in
Booklovers' Magazine.

THE SOUP PLATE.
A seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why II Was Invented.

A valet Of Louis XIV. published a
cookbook In 1855 in which he gives as
follows the reason for the invention OF
the hollow soup plate:
The plates of the guests will be hol-
low in order that they may help them
selves to as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take it
spoonful by spoonful, because Of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon 90 from the mouth
TO the tureen.
Guests, il will be seen, used their
own spoons to fill their plates, the large
spoon TO be used for serving the soup
not being invented till some time later.
Yet even a hundred years after the in
vention of the soup plate Q749 a work
on civility advised that all the dishes
should be so placed on the table that
every one could reach them with his
spoon and that if the soup was served
in a dish %tureen) every one should
help himself with his own spoon with
out seeming to be in a hurry. A work
on that appeared just before
the French revolution deemed 1t best
to advise its readers that IL was impo-
lite to pass the spoon back and forth
between the mouth and the tureen.

A Famous Emerald.

The emerald is mentioned by st.
John in his Apocalypse. An emerald
of inestimable value ornamented the
bezel of the ring of Polycrates. king of
Samos. That monarch, having been all
his life favored by fortune, determined
to put his luck to a severe test. He
threw the ring into the sea. The next
day he went fishing.
The record of that days sport still re-
mains unbroken. His majesty caught
a fine fish, and in the inside of the fish
he found his ring. That happened in
the year $50 of the foundation of Rome,
and the ring, considered as a talisman,
was placed among the royal treasures
of the Temple of Concord.
