Mr. H. F. Kriger, the defendant in
the above slut, was shown the above
clipping in our presence and stated
tnat it was the first intimation he
had of any suit beng brought against
him. He said that as to the charge
to his parting the two, it is false, as
he has letters to show that the only
thing he did was to advise Mrs. Her.
del when she complained to him OF
her husbands treatment to seek the
aid and advise of an attorney.
Mr.. Kriger further stated that he
was at one time Mrs. Hendel's guard
ian and has always felt an interest in
her life, and regrets very much to be
brought before the public in any sucll
suit. He emphasized the fact that he
is innocent of all the charges prefer
ed. and stated that he will prove his
entire innocence when the case comes
up, if it ever does, in Vicksburg.
The above denial and statement
should set at rest all doubt of any
wrongful action on the part of Mr.
Kriger, if such doubt exists, and i
is hardly probable that any one who
knows Mr.. Kriger has any such
doubts. He does not impress one a!
being a gay Lothario, but instead
is just such a kindly looking individ-
ual as would inspire anyone with col
| fdence and full trust.
The 6linfl oft he suit by Mr.. Hen
del has caused Mr.. Kriger much un
desired popularity and has distressed
him no little. But he has the assur
ance that his many friends in Green
vile and elsewhere have never doubt
ed his charactr and integrity, and h
remains in their esteem the sam
man of highest honor that has alway
been his reputation to bear.

A sad case came to the notice Of the DO
lice OF the Georgetown precinct yesterday

ton made by them a young woman. virgie
Wells, not yet twenty-three years old, is
locked I'D to answer a charge of having
abandoned her infant son. The child,
which is three weeks DID, is being cared
for at the Georgetown University Hospital.
Behind the case is sad story Of al
legged betrayal and desertion. Virgie Wells
as the young woman gave her name. Is
from Virginia. She roomed In the neighbor-
hood Of seth and o streets with the father
of the child. she told the police. prior to
the time she went to the hospital. Being
without funds it was necessary for her
to go to a local hospital. where the child
was born. She was recently discharged
from the hospital and took her infant with
her. which she carried about the streets
Friday Finally she sought place of rest
at the house of detention. She left the
house of detention yesterday morning with
out having the slightest idea of where she
was going or what she was going to do
The woman was weak, not having fully re-
covered from her recent Illness. and yes
terday afternoon about $50 O'Clock she
stopped at College pond. near the first
treStle on the Cabin John electric road.
Desiring to seek assistance at the house
of friends she placed the little one upon
the grass and left 1t there while she went
on her mission. When she returned to the
vicinity of the pond the infant had dis
appeared. She was subsequently arrested
and charged with inhuman treatment Of
the child. During the short time the mother
was away. small boy named Harry Fear
son. who lives at 1910 n street, was at
tracted to the child by its cries He told
a policeman that the infant was there. and
the waif was taken of to the hospital.
A further investigation of the case Is be-
ing made by the police. and 1t Is likely that

cared for at the house of detention until
she Is taken to court tomorrow.

The Spelling Of the Name Clark.
To the Editor of The Star:

The proper name Clark has been spelled
clerk. the former being derived from old
French the common noun 'clerc," meaning
a scholar, and itself originating through
contraction of the Latin word Glorious"
persons the dertvat1ve 'cierc came in time
to be applied to those individuals possessed
of more than ordinary learning. Henry 1.
King of England, third Of the Norman line
the second son Of William the Conqueror
to wear the English crown, was Surnamed
"Beaucierc, or fine scholar. The English
tongue, approximating the sound OF a
French vowel. produced clark. and, in time
the spelling became phonetic. The sc" at
ter tie Is not needed. 1t may have orig
mated through the use Of the Anglo-Saxon
suftix to form the possessive case. the les, +"
which is still used In German for that pur-
find 1.-The Clerke's Tale" THE Scholars
Tale In modern English-the name not be-
ing used as a proper name. 1t may be that
the "e" should be classed with those
changes named in the history OF the Anglo
Norman dialect as a parastical, post-
tonic re-" However 1t be, 1t seems to me-
clear that William Clark's family have not
claimed 1t. have in my possession fine

Inasmuch as the water pressure Is to be

1t would be we'll to give through your
widely read paper some information tend
ing to relieve the householder, well as
prevent damage to property resulting from
a heavy pressure the pipes and boilers
which through long use may be weak. In
the first place be sure there Is stopcock
easily accessible and in good order, so that
It may be turned by the householder this
stopcock to control the entire supply to
the house. Should a break In the pipe oc-
eur first turn off the water at this STOP
cock and then open both faucets at the
sink or bath tub and allow them to remain
open. so that steam coming from the hot
water boiler may escape. Then send for
reliable plumber. A mistaken idea prevails
that 1t Is dangerous to keep a fire In the
range while the water is shut Off. AS
matter of fact the boiler Is full Of water at
the time the water Is cut Off and none can
be drawn of except by the faucet at the
bottom of the boiler, and this faucet must
not be opened except in a case where the
boiler Is broken. then the fire should be
drawn and the boiler emptied; but II the
break Is In the pipes and no water Is drawn
from the bottom of the boiler and the hot
water faucets are allowed to remain open
there IL no danger OF any explosion even II
the fire is kept for week. The boiler must
be entirely flied with water before q drop

corresponding with a tea kettle setting on

through the spout. So long as there IL any

to ESCAPE there can be no explosion. and
