REVOLVING CRIME OF MOTHER.
Used Red Hot Iron on Children Be-
cause They Made to Much Noise.

New York.-Two little tots, Nellie.
aged Z years, and Jennie, 2 years
younger, told Magistrate House In the
Harlem police court how their STEP
mother, Mrs Kate Cravius had brand
ed them with a red-hot stove litter
when in play they had made too much
noise. Twice during the recital, the
prisoner, a woman of intelligence and
of pleasing appearance, not more than
IS years of age, tainted.
When restored the woman admitted
that she had burned the children, but
said that at the time she was pos
sessed by an huaccountable mania.
The two girls, she said, had been play
ing with their dolls until the noise
and confusion robbed her OF her rea-
son and left a resistless impulse TO
punish the little ones. Selling the
stove-lid litter, she pressed the glow
ing end upon the back OF the right
hand of each child, causing scars that
the little ones will carry to their
graves.
A peculiar feature of the case was
the apparent affection for the children
felt by the prisoner, that attachment
being reciprocated.

SWETTENHAM IS
SEVERELY SCORED
The Kingston Daily Telegraph
Says Executive Has En-
tirely Lost His Head.
British Governor is Going Around the
City, Poking His Nose Into Petty
Details That His Subordnates
Should Attend to.

Kingston, Jamaica.--The lack of CO.
operation upon the part Of the govern
ment Is greatly hampering the work OF
extending relief, providing shelter for
the earthquake sufferers, pulling down
the unsafe walls and repairing the
damaged buildings, for which Governor
Swettenham is severely condemned.
The Daily Telegraph says:
His Excelency is still careering
around the city, poking his nose into
various corners and attend to petty
details which his subordinates ought
to attend to. The result is that when
prominent officials and other gentle
men In charge Of important work call
ut headquarters house to consult him
they cannot find the governor. There
Is total absence of deliberate, Or
ganized movement. This Is state Of
affairs on which the British and Colo
NAL governments cannot congratulate
themselves.
IAN instance OF the governors OBJ
structive measures is the enforcement
Of the regulation forbidding the re-
erection of buildings, even wooden
shacks, without the city surveyors ap-
proval Of the plans, which is causing
great delay and dissatisfaction. The
general opinion is that the governor
has completely lost his head and Ia
utterly unequal to the task OF meeting
the emergency"
