ters little mixed, because records of early
days and affairs in the District show that
Robert Fulton, the inventor. was for con-
siderable period the guest of Joel Barlow,
but it has never before been stated that
Joel Barlow was the inventor of steam
boat. Whether Fulton continued his ex-
periments while here has never been
shown. Less than month ago Commits
sioner Biddle, in debating a reply to an
other writer, who had made a similar re-
quest said:
Some years ago some private person
placed sign board in Rock Creek Park
stating that it was located at the spot
where Robert Fulton conducted his expert
ments with the steamboat The signboard
was erected without permit and as there
was no evidence brought forward to show
the historical correctness of this statement
the sign was removed AS far as known to
the Commissioners there is no direct evil
dence on this point, and it would not seem
desirable to place a marker as proposed
unless this fact was known. Further, 1t is
the opinion of the Commissioners that such
action would be matter for private indi-
viduals or historical society rather than
for the Commissioners"

ordered It removed. The last seen of the
sign 1t was reposing in pile of lumber in
the vicinity of the old mill in Rock Creek
Park. and the tabled spot where Fulton

TO come out into the open and furnish proof
that Rock creek at this point was really
the scene of Fultons early experiments
the Commissioners have been frequently
anonymously importuned to mark the place
In some appropriate manner. The follow

One day about four years ago
a sign bearing this legend appeared on

LONDON, October % 1908.
BY a singular coincidence, simultaneously
with the publication here of the cabled re
port of Joseph Choate's speech at the Lotus
Club, New York, wherein he expressed the
opinion that British law was superior to
the homemade article, and better admin
istered, we have been treated to a striking
of it's assinine qualities. With
black cap on head, British judge has SOL
EMMY pronounced sentence of death on an
old woman for the murder of her husband
whom she did not murder, and to complete
the farcical tragedy, British chaplain has
solemnly invoked the mercy of God on her
guilty soul" And all this with full knowi-
edge that she did not commit the crime for
which she was convicted, ana tnat she VIII
never be hanged for 1t.
In a condemned cell the aged victim OF
legal cruelty, whose sad plight has evoked
expressions of the deepest sympathy from
all classes, is awaiting the exercise of the
crowns prerogative of mercy. After brief
period of Imprisonment she will probably De
released-to exc out what remains or her
wretched existence branded as a murderess
Judge and jury are agreed that she should
never have been convicted. But they had
no other recourse than to conform to an an
tiQuated law.

Mrs. Marian Seddons story Is one of the
most pitiful that has ever been told In the
grim Old Bailey court. She was sixty-five
years old and her husband was seventy
eight. They had been married twelve years.
After their marriage they started confec-
tionery shop at Staines. For a time they
were fairly successful. Then trade fell off
and they moved to shop In Mortlake.
There things went from bad to worse. The
husbands health failed. When quarter day
came round they had not money enough TO
pay the rent. Death or the workhoHse

It Is believed by local railroadmen

Pacific will build their line from Lafa-

the two roads will be used as the ap-
prOsches to q transfer until such q

If the Southern Pacific builds their

make the same transfer on eastbound
freight and passengers, resulting in a
corresponding saving in time and ex-
