HEAVIEST PENALTY IMPOSED.
One Year Less Day for Man Who
Whipped a Child.

mo punishment, 1 think is too bad for
a man who will cruelty beat and whip a
little child" was Judge Kimballs COM
ment in the case of Joseph LEVEL, colored,
in the Police Court this morning. He was
charged with assault on Clara Cole, nine
years old The sentence was the heaviest
that the law allows-one year, less a day,
in Jail.
The story of the crueltes which were
inflicted on the little child by the huge,
powerful man was told by several wit
nesses, who had seen some of the trouble
and by the little girl herself. She said that
she was living with the defendant, who
was her uncle in Willow Tree alley AT
various times, she said, her uncle had
beaten her with heavy strap while hold
ing her across his knee. When the girl
was taken into custody by the police for
examination marks and scars from those
beatings were found on the girls legs and
body. A few days ago the matter came
to a crisis. when the neighbors learned
that he had thrown the child onto the floor
after lifting her up by her dress. and had
tossed her from one room to another.
The neighbors told Policemen Green and
Shelby of the fourth precinct of the cruelty,
and they Investigated the case 1t was
found, however, that he had taken the child
and walked it from Washington to where
its mother lived in Virginia, d distance of
fully ten miles. The girl was found by the
officers in that place, but Level was ar
rested here.
II admit that l beat that child with a
whip" said the defendant, but l cid 1t to
correct her tor telling stories.'
In a statement to the police the mother
said that she had seen her uncle wash the
child in salt water after whipping it, and,
putting her in a sack, hang her in a tree.
That did not come before the court here, as
the occurrence was in Virginia
The attention of the board OF children's
guardians was called TO the child, and
they will investigate further The child
was temporarily turned over to an aunt

THE DEWEY'S CRUISE
Floating Dry Dock Leaves To-
day on a $4,000 Mile Trip.
GOING TO SUBIG BAY
MAY TAKE THREE MONTHS TO
REACH THE PHILIPPINES.
Apprehension Entertained by Many
Naval Neutrality-suspicious. With
the Miantonomah.

When the big floating dry dock Dewey
today fishes up the last one OF her eight
1o,GO-pound mushroom anchors and starts
off Down Chesapeake bay from Solomon g
Island, bound on a 14,00O-mi.e cruise to the
Philippines, she will be the subject of the
deepest concern to the Navy Department
and to every American sailor until she
safely drops those anchors in the quiet
waters of Subig bay. For many naval Of
ficers are really very doubtful whether the
trip can be made in safety, and few would
be surprised were the big dock to come to
grief on the way out. The Havana floating
dock was, it IS true, towed down to that
port from Scotland but that voyage was
short in comparison with that lying before
the Dewey, and the periis of the way were
much fewer, with many more chances to
make safe harbors in case of bad weather,
and to enable the tow boats to take on
coal.

Precautions Against Disaster.

Enough water will be admitted into her
compartments TO bring her draft down to
twelve feet to give her stability, and the
sections of the dock have been so strongly
braced and keyed together that it is be-
lieved by the constructors there is no dan
ger of the structure collapsing or hog
ging' when it rides two or three of the
big Atlantic rollers. 1t is calculated in
case of severe storms and high head winds
to throw off the tow lines and submerge
the dock thirty or forty feet below the sur
face of the sea, leaving only the upper
work exposed. which would indeed in case
of need make very safe lee for the tow
ing vessels to lie in until the severity of
the weather abated. Estimates vary con-
siderably as to the length of the cruise. but
few place the time at less than three
months.

the Dewey's in American naval history was
that of the big double turreted monitor
Miantonomah, in 1867. She was then the
very latest type OF naval architecture, and
was sent across the Atlantic and into the
Mediterranean as show ship" to let the
Europeans get an idea for themselves of
how far ahead of them the Americans had
gone as result of the sea fighting of the
civil war. One of the officers, now rear
to this side of the world, tells an entertain
ing story of the trials and tribulations Of
that trip. The monitor could not carry
enough coal to cross at full speed under
her own steam, so she was loaded with coal
boxes on the decks until the ship was al
most awash, and started al a four-kRot
speed across the Atlantic 1t happens that
between four and five knots is the calcu-
lated speed of the Dewey.
the navy owned al that time a big side
wheeler named the Atlanta, and that ship
towed and steered the Miantonomah clear
across the Atlantic. She took the course
that will be followed by the Dewey in the
reversed direction going from Gibraltar to
Cape Verde Islands: across the West In
dian Islands, up to the Bahamas and so on
to Delaware bay. At Cape Verde the tow
was met by a schooner sent ont from this
side laden with coal, and with that fresh
supply the monitor was brought across.
Several times the towing lines broke, but
on the whole there were no serious vicissi-
tudes and naval officers here are hoping
that the Dewey with her four towboats
will do as well

RHEUMATISM IN A PORTRAIT

The London Lancet is of the opin-
ion that the earliest record of rheu-
matte noduies is to be found in a
portrait of a lady about thirty years
otherwise known as Cvazzola, a
Veronese painter who lived from
1886 to 1922.
The portrait is one of collection
left by Signor Morelli to the Academy
of Bergamo. The hands attract at
tention at once, as seeming to be
much older than the face. A strong
light rests upon the left hand, which
is in central position.
The abductor indicis and other
lnterossei are strikingly wasted, the
interphalangeal points of the first
two fingers are markedly enlarged,
and there are typical rheumatic nod
ules over the head Of the second
phalanx of the index and over the
proximal ends of both the proximal
phalanges of the middle finger"
Through the midst Of technicality
the layman can discern the image OF
protracted suffering. II a complete
list of the remedies recommended
by her friends had accompanied the
portrait the story would be told in
full.

Mr. Hyde and said there was but five
minutes in which to make the 9:1+

and asked for his dressing gown. He
then proceeded deliberately to the tel

hold the train until he got thera.
Whereupon MrHyde ordered his
valet to shave and dress his Hyde

LOVE AND BLACK PAINT.

Cupil has been after H. H Cook
with sharp stick
H. II. Cook lives in Elgin, I'll.
It seems that Cupid has a summer
home at Elgin and spends a good
deal Of Tine there.
One Of the favorite haunts of Gu
Ills estate is Lovers Lane,
Now this lane runs directly past
Cooks house. and right under Cock 5
bedroom window is a garden seat.
What good would Lovers Lane
be without a garden seat?
But Cook. cruel, heartless Cook,
objects. He says he can't sleep with
such silly talk going on under his
window. Of course it would be in
terestine eac9eh to k p air-st anY-
one awake, but Cock wants to sleep.
At night when one cant sleep
thoughts are likely to come to one.
Thoughts came 70 Cook, ugly, fnhu.
man thoughts.
One of these thoughts was that for
a few cents he could buy a paint brush
and can of black paint annd give
that particular garden seat bad repil-
tation.
This he proceeded to do He was
Lot satisfied with giving the seat one
rerntation. He put a fresh one on
every night for a week or so.
Then Cupid discovered what was
