HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Susie Jennifer Regarded as Response
Bile for Her ChiId's Death

Susie Jennifer. colored. was taken down
from the Washington Asylum Hospital to
the morgue this morning to be present at
an inquest that was held over the remains
of her infant. The child, a boy, was born
about two weeks ago at the home Of the
young woman go z street southwest and
when Dr. Philip Brooks was summoned it
was not to be found in the house. Ascer-
tanning there had been a child born the
physician searched the premises and found
the dying child in the She'd where it had
been hidden in pile of rags. 1t was stated
to the jury that the child was in the shed
nearly three days before the physician was
summoned, and two days later the child
died
Attorney w Calvin Chase represented the
mony that his clients mind was weak. The
question of her mental condition. however,
the coroner stated, could not be considered
by the jury. The defendant who was still
weak sat in the room where the inquest
was held, but she seemed to take no inter-
est in the proceedings. She heard the wit
nesses state that she had complained of be-
ing sick after the child was born and of her
refusal to send for physician. After the
child was found in the she'd the witnesses
stated, Susie admitted she was it's mother
that the death of the child was due to lack
of attention.
The jury held Susie responsible for the
death of the infapt and she was committed
to jail. Attorney Chase says his client has
always been peculiar" or weak-mirded
and that such will be his plea should the
case reach the criminal court.

How the Speaker Acts.

Uncle Joe Cannon in action is certainly
picturesque and interesting figure. When
chairman of the committee on appropria-
lions and vigorously defending his bills
Or opposing amendments, he always inter
ested the members and the galleries. Earn
est in manner and with gestures which
would excite mirth and laughter he al
ways had the House in good humor. even
when refusing a large number of members
something they wanted, AS Speaker, he
Yields the gavel IN his 5left hand. In itself
an oddly. But when he counts a quorum.
which John Sharp Williams compels him
to do very frequently these days, he grabs
the gavel around its head and points the
handle toward the members he is counting
His arm is first bent like the voting emblem
of the labor party and then 1t shoots out
straight and the gavel is horizontally
poined for an instant. This action is kept
up, and western men are reminded of a bad
man shooting the lights out in a mining
camp booze joint. 1t is amusing, this per-
torrance of Uncle Joe. 1t caused Williams
to tell the story of the lady who constant
ly asked q gentleman the time of day
facial action of the man with the watch SO
interested her little boy that he stopped
crying. And then he added:
SO sometimes L expect that I want a
quorum counted because the movements of
the Speakers gavel amuse US so that they
keep the House quiet and put everyb body in
good humor.' Iaughter)
But while Williams acknowledged that
tho members of the House were "grown-up
boys, as all men are he wanted it under
stood beyond any question that there was
no trffiing with sacred things, as he said:
But want the country to understand
that there is nobody In the House of Rep
resentatves that is laughing at or making
the fundamental law of the republic of the
United States"

The Clean City Club.
From the Chicago Tribune.

=
A practical outcome of the recent move
nent for clean city with it's attendant en-
listment of interest on the part of the school
children is the organization of the Clean
City Club with a button. such as a child
dearly loves to wear, as It's distinctive
badge. 1t is a suggestion from the Hull
House and seems to have four simple rules
as Its constitution:
Pick up at least one piece of paper from the
street every day
clean your own back yard and porches and try to
interest the boys and girls next door.
Keep at least one flower In the window.
Be smiling and clean yourself.
The Idea is reported to be so popular that
the newly organized corps of workers hopes
to have a membership of LOCO by the end Of
its first week. In a friendly contest held
under its auspices between groups. each
with its own captain, good deal of interest
on the part of older people was developed.

METRIC LEGISLATION.
Further Legislation on the Subject Is
Denounced
suplee in the Engineering News.

H. II. Suplee in the Engineering News.
1t must be clearly understood that we
have no direct quarrel with the metric sys-
tenn as such 1t has its merits and its de-
fects, as every system must have. Tho
real quarrel OF the American and British
engineer and manufacturer is with those
who would. by means of any legislation,
direct or implied, deprive him of the lib
erty Of using whichever system he finds
best adapted to his needs.
Many men may find a decimal system
more convenient for computation, using
either the metric system or the British
system decimally subdivided Others pre-
fer the method of continual dissection, this
having been found pre-eminently conven-
lent IN the workshop and for details OF
construction generally.
Since 1896 the citizens of the United
States, whether holding government posi-
lions or engaged IN civil industries, have
had the privilege OF using either system
legally and freely. In no case have the
friends OF the inch attempted to impose
their views upon the advocates of the
meter. Live and let live has been their
rule of conduct-a rule which appears to
have chafed severely upon those pho pre-
fer TO count on their fingers rather than
with their minds. II the advocates OF the
existing standards should endeavor to in
fuence legislation to prevent their neigh
bors from using their beloved millimeters
and Kilograms. fearful howl would arise;
but no such Lmpertinent interference is TO
be dreamed of. Let the advocates OF the
meter be fair-minded enough to give up
their scheme Of stacking the cards; let
there be square deal, and may the best
system win.

TALES OF HORROR.
A Few Stories of the Uneasy Skulls
Of Murdered Men and Women.

From Notes and Queries.
There is a skull said to be that of
negro murdered by his master. a Roman
Catholic priest, at Bettiscombe House, near
Bridport in Dorsetshire. Several attempts,
1t Is said, have been made to bury or other
wise dispose of this skull, with the inva-
riabIe results of dreadful screams proceed
ing from the grave, unaccountable disturb
ances about the house, and other equally
unpleasant occurrences. An account of the
house and skull, the authority of DR..
Richard Garrett, will be found in Ingram

second series, page 10. In the same vol
ume, at page 90, is notice of another
haunted house. Burton Agnes Hall. near
Bridlngton Here the skull is that of a
lady Of the Boynton family, who was at
tackled and murdered by two ruffianly men
dicants In the sixteenth century. Before
she expired she implored her sisters to pre-
serve her skull in the family mansion,
which was then being built. This was not
done at first. but finally the sisters were
compelled to comply with this strange re-
quest by the noises. resembling claps OF
thunder, which resounded through the
house every night until the skull was taken
from the grave. Several attempts have
been made to bury it, with the same results
as at Bettiscombe. At page 257 is rather

which first heated the iron red hot and then
the supply of hydrogen gas was diminished
and that of the oxygen increased. In this
case combustion took place as was desired,
but 1T not sufficiently thorough; the
resulting oxide of iron was imperfectly
heated, 1t lacked fiuidity. and consequently
was eliminated with difficulty. In addition.
the oxide mixed with other metal particles
and prevented Intimate contact with tic
oxygen. Thus at the end of a few seconds,
combustion ceased, and ii was necessary
for the heating flame to be again put in
operation, and then the oxygen jet. TINS
was not practical, and in the end the work
man only obtained an irregular cutting, the
edges of which were coated with oxide.
The new and successful method is to use
two pipes, moving along the mark to be
cut. The first is oxhydric pipe. which
heats the metal red-hot, and the second
the point of which rs about twenty-five cen
timeterS from the flrst-emitS a jet of oxy
gen which literally burns the iron. Under
these circumstances the operations are
more quickly performed and the heat does
not have time to be dissipated and the met
al does not fuse. In addition, the oxide is
very fluid and is easily expelled. The French
writer saws that the section Is clean as
that made by a saw and the width OF the
cut does not exceed two millimeters for a
plate fifteen millimeters in thickness or
three millimeters for a plate 100 millimeters
in thickness. The rate of speed for the M
teen miilimeter plate is twenty centimeters
a minute, and the consumption for every
millimeter of cutting is but few liters of
hydrogen and about the same amount of
oxygen. M. Lemaire says that the appara-
tus, which is very simple, is not only adapt
ed to cutting plates. but also tubes or
beams. A peculiar advantage is that the
section may be made according to any pat
tern desired; also, there is no modification
in the results when the metal varies; IL may
be hard or soft. tempered or not. Up to the
present great difficulty has been found in
getting a process which would cut armor
plates but II is claimed that the new proc
ess completely solves the problem.
