MAYOR and common council consider the
same necessary for the public benefit. The
Judgment of the appellate court is final.
These sidewalks were laid under an act OF
the legislature of 1906 authorizing the
mayor and common council to lay SIDE
walks in Hyattsville wherever in their
Judgment the public benefit required the
work, and to assess the cost thereof against
the abutting property owners.
Several property owners on the north
side of Johnson avenue filed bill in the
circuit court of Prince George county ask
ing that the mayor and common council be
restrained from collecting the assessment:
A demurrer was filed to the bill by counsel
for the corporation. and Judge Merrick
overruled the demurrer and declared the
law unconstitutional. From this decision
the town appealed, and the case was ar
gued in the court of appeals two weeks ago
today by Messrs. Robert w. Wells and
Marion Duckett for the town, and James
C. Rogers and F. Snowden Hill for the
property owners.

A elimpse of AIdrieh.

On the day when he last entered the
Atlantic Office, in January, Mr.. Aldrich
seemed. for the first time, to have
grown old. One Of his friends spoke
of 1t as he went out. Up till that
morning the weight Of seventy years
had scarcely seemed to touch the erect,
jaunty figure The lines that time
had written around his clear blue eyes
and firm mouth conveyed no hint of
senility. His hair was scarcely gray.
His voice, slightly husky in its graver.
sweeter tones, retained a delicious
youthful crispness as it curled and
broke. wavelike. into flashing raillery.
He had just completed his poem for
the Longfellow centenary, his first
verse after some years Of silence, and
when it was praised to his face-for
who could help praising it-he blushed
with pleasure Ike a boy. Yet he had
passed threescore and ten. and the
shadow, Invisible as vet and quite un-
heraded, was drawing very near

1t has been common report about the

see a physician failed. He told Dan
O'Reilly that he would not have a doc

Thaw's dependency was evidenced
when he learned that Assistant Dis

Application doubtless will be made to

LEWIS ADMITS
BURYING CHILD
Mary Newlin's Stepfather Makes a
Partial Confession.
EUT DENIES He KILLED HER

West Chester, Pa, June 25.-Irwin
Lewis stepfather of 5-year-old Mary
Newlin, whose body was found buried
In aspit in the barnyard at her home,
neaf here, on Friday, was committed
to prison, following an inquest in the
case, on a formal charge of murder.
Before the inquest Lewis made a par
tial confession to District Attorney
MacElree, in which he said that the
child fell from the top of a wagon
shed and was killed. He said he saw
her fall and when he went TO pick her
up she was dead. He feared he might
be accused of killing her and he tied a
burlap bag over her head, fastened a
cord about her neck and buried her in
the pit in the barnyard, where he COW
cred the body over with refuse.
At the inquest, which was held at
Avondale, a small village near the
Lewis home, U. S. Clifford, the coro-
nRr's physician, who made a post NOR
tenn examination of the body, testified
that death was caused by suffocation
or asphyxiation. and there was moth
ing in the condition of the body to
show that the child had sustained such
injuries as to cause death. District
Attorney MacElres then repeated the
partial confession of Lewis, and the
jury returned a verdict that the child
came to her death at the hands of r.
win Lewis.
Mr.. MacElree testified as follows:
"On the Friday evening of the find
ing of the body questioned Lewis for
hours. At 10 o'clock 1 said to him:
Now, Lewis, I'm going to go. III give
you one last chance. l cant promise
you anything
"Then he told me hat when he went
home to feed the chickens at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon he saw little Mary on
the second floor of the wagon shed.
She fell off, he said, and when he ran
over to her she was dead.
"He then admitted burying her and
ended by saying: My God, what would
my wife and mother and sister think
of what I've said?'
THE case is pretty bad against
me, isn't it?' l said: Yes, Lewis, it is
pretty bad
81 secured the admission from
Lewis that he buried the body when
convinced him that l had a witness
who had seen him hoe the refuse over
the shallow grave He then told me
that he had buried the little girl, but
tried to make me believe that her
death had been accidental, insisting
that he had not murdered her"
Immediately after the inquest Lewis
was taken before Justice of the Peace
Lipp, where a formal case was made
out against the accused, and he was
committed to prison, being brought
here.
The condition of the body when
found and the testimony of the coro-
ners physician leave little room for
doubt, according to the district attor-
ney. that the child was buried alive
and was smothered in the grave.

MARK TwAIN,s TRIP.

Mark Twain, according to the ac-
counts of the voyage that he re-
Gently made home from England, was
the center of attraction on the ship
on which he travelled. Contrary to
the expectations of a good many Of
the passengers, who rather expected
to see him stand on his head and
cut I'D other monkey-shines, he proved
to be a grave, thoughtful man, and a
wonderful conversationlist. He was
always willing to talk. He told of a
midnight visit to Westminster Abbey
in company with Dean Stanley. They
spent some three hours among the
tombs and monuments, using a lantern
to get a view of them. A stray kitten
accompanied them, skipping from one
tomb to another. When they started
to leave the building, they missed the
kitten and went back to look for it.
They found it curled up and fast
asleep on Queen Elizabeth's stony
breast. Twain said that if the ca.
might look at king, surely small
kitten might make friends with a
queens tomb, and give a bit of life
and warmth TO the cold marble which
spelled out her career and her great
ness.
