DECIDES AGAINST MOTHER
JUSTICE BARNARD DISMISSES
HABEAS CORPUS PETITION.
Ponders Long and Rules in Favor of
Foster Parent of Anna
Marie Kane.

The ancient judgment of King Solomon
was reversed late yesterday afternoon by
Justice Barnard of the District Supreme
! Court, when the custody of seven-year-
old Anna Marie Kane was given to her
+! fost mother, Mrs. Anna NJ. Kane. OIL
459 l street northwest. despite the tear
full pleadings of Mrs. Katherine Binder
Jacob of Rochester \. Y. the real
| mother of the child.
After hearing the appeal of the mother
to have the child returned to her, cir
cumstances having compelled her to part
with Anna when the baby was only ten
days old. and the equally earnest plea
Of Mrs. Kane, that she be not separated
from the child. whom she had tenderiy
reared from infancy and between whom
and herself had grown up the tenderest
affection, Justice Barnard found himself
beset with difficult task. Unlike Solo
| mon, he could not order division OF
the child and thereby decide which Wom-
an had the greater love. but must de-
pend on the evidence alone
The Justice pondered the matter for a
long time, then announced That q sepafa-
ton from the foster mother, the only
parent the child had known. would not be
| TO the best interest of little Anna, and as
| the courts almost universally consider
| the welfare of the child in such proceed

! leave the little girl in the care OF Mrs
Kane.
| Mrs jacob. hearing the decision, fell
back in her chair in a swoon. and on be-
| ing restored made an effort to reach the
side of the child, but was again over
come and tainted. The child looked won
deringly at the unconscious mother ana
sought the protecting arms OF her foster
mother. Mrs. jacob soon recovered and
was led weeping from the courtroom.
Court Gives Views.
Justice Barnard said that while the
paper signed by Mrs. jacob seven years
ago. voluntarily giving her child to Mrs
Kane. could not be held as legal adoption
and in spite Of the fact that the real
mother might give her child more worldly
advantages. it was his opinion that the
love which had grown up between the
| foster mother and child, and which was
evidenced in numerous little episodes in
court. could not be made up for. and that
| the separation would work for no good
| to the little girl.

The value of the work and advice of

proof that the astronomical work of the
observatory could be more intelligently
and uniformly administered with the ad-
vice OF body like the board selected
mainly from the astronomical staff of the
observatory: therefore, following the gen.
eral principles embodied in the recon-
mendations of the chief OF the bureau of
equipment and superintendent in their
combined letter, dated September I, 1891
an order was issued creating Il council
believing that it would become an import
ant element in the administrative machin-
cry of the observatory and insure that
continuity Of policy and effort which is
absolutely essential to it's efficiency.
The main feature of a plan of work
for this observatory should be the estab-
lishment and continued maintenance OF
meridian observations for absolute posi-
stars which are to be made fundamental.

The report reviews the work of the as

To Tax Lend Values.

The greatest innovation yet proposed
has been presented to the British par
lament by the ministry 1t is, indeed,
long step forward. The proposal is
that land values shall be taxed 20 per
cent Of their increase at stated times.
All the land in the kingdom is to be
appraised and from this date at the
time of transfer or of the death of the
owner the government will step in for,
20 per cent of the the increased value
recorded since the appraisement. This
is recognition of the Henry George
theory that the increased value Of land
due to the increase of population should
90 to the community. A corner lot in
thriving city is made valuable not by
any act of tie owner, but through the
growth and development of the COM
munity, and it is proposed in England
that fair share of this increase shall
divert to the State.
Henry George held that there should
be but one form oflax and that it should
be upon this "unearned increment" in
the increased value of land. His pro-
posal has made but slight Roadway in
the United States and it was hardly an
ticipated that the English government
would take such a step forward in this
direction. The George theory is that
the land is as essential to life as air
and water aud should not be any more
subject to private control and that no
man should have more than he could
use. By taxing vacant land at full
valuation aud appropriating practically
all of this increase to the benefit of the
community, George hoped to make land
practically as free as air and water as
no one could hold it solely for specu-
lative purposes. Boise Citizen.

Copper Tempered at Last.
cTechnical World Magazine,

(Technlcal world Magazlne)
Through installing another com
pound for horax, while working at his
trade as jeweler, David Lamon, of
Denver, has suddenly found himself in
possession of the much sought after
method of hardening copper. This pow
der, instead of softening the metal, as
borax does, instantly changed the
heated copper into such degree of
tirmness that manipulation was impos.
sible. Qnick to take the advantage
that fortune had so unexpectedly thrust
upon him, the jeweler at once made a
critical analysis of the compound, de-
termined the ingredients and finally
protected his wonderful secret by a
patent.
The art that was old when the pyra-
mids we're building, and which crumbled
into dust with its discoverers, to remain
mystery and hopeless secret for
centuries, has again been given to the
world by the fortunate blunder of an
unsuspecting jeweler.
Heretofore the combined efforts OF
earnest scientists to treat and harden
this metal have been in either glazing
the surface or by addition of certain
substances in the molten state. Neither
of these processes has really accom-
plished all that could be desired, MOI
has the treatment been put into practi
cal use.
Contrary to these methods the La
mon process not only hardens the
copper, but tempers it as we'll. 1t is
neither treated in the molten state mol
glazed, but the finished product, in any
and all shapes, is given complete anc
lasting physical change. The tensil,
strength is increased and the life of th'
metal heightened more than treble.

Never will church meet its purpose
if it Is merely comprised of a body Of
men, he said ut is not simply a fra

seeking lofty objects. 1t is partnership
with God. If you know what the will
of God is, you have not far to go to
know the mission of the church. The
church is in the world to transform per-
sons out of a condition of crime into
place of safety. And though some peo-
Die are SO pessimistic as to believe the
entire world cannot be saved, they are
mistaken. 1t can be. and that is the mis-
sion of the church.

In Van Camps you get the whole milk

you less than half-milk. See what dif-

When Van Camps is drunk cold, it has

in sterilization. In cooking or coffee-where
you heat the milk anyway-the slight sealded

Serves Every Purpose

For coffee or cereals, add one part water,

For cooking or drinking, add little more

Van Camps gives to milk dishes rich
ness and favor which you never get from
raw milk.
Milkman's milk separates-before and at
ter you get it. So your cooking milk, usu-
ally, is scarcely more than q half-milk.
