FED PIG FOOD TO CHILDREN.
Judge De Lacy Reads Lecture to
Father Of Five.

Hans Morrison. according to tales told
in the Juvenile Court yesterday feeds his
pigeons, his pigs and his five children the
same kind Of food. The neighbors think
1t a shame and some of them told Judge
DeLacy so.
1T is dreadful and makes my heart
sick for the little Ones" volunteered a
motherly looking woman who lives near
the Morrison home.
Morrison was paroled for sixty days.
Judge De Lacy censured the defendant
and told him he must Immediately fur
nish nourishing food for his family. The
court thought that bread purchased for
pigs was unfit for children.
Economy is a commendable thing
commented the court. but it is carried
too far when it deprives children of the
necessities of life.
Morrison promised to do better.

FIRST OFFICER COMMENDED.
Bravery of ]. S. Townsend Aboard
Mississippi Saves Lives.

First Officer ]. S. Townsend of the
United States collier Hannibal has re-
ceived a personal letter from the acting
secretary of the navy commencing the
promptness. GOODNESS and disregard OF
personal danger" which characterized his
action during the coaling OF the L. s. s.
Mississippi In Hampton roads the 18th
instant. The commanding officer of the
Mississippi called the attention OF the
Navy Department to the meritorious con-
duct of First Officer Townsend on the
occasion in question while the Hannibal
was coaiing the battleship.
In topping up one of the Golfers
hatch and in which a score of the crew
OF this vessel were at work" says the
captain of the Mississippi. 'some one on
the collier let go the lift and the boom
started down on the run. Townsend
grasped the running end and. forehanting
it with part Of the standing gear. held
on in spite Of the fact that he was
dragged half way up the mast and had
the palms Of both hands so seriously
skinned as to incapacitate him for duty.
1T is my opinion that his act saved the
lives of several men. The behavior of
First officer Townsend is deserving of
official commentator, as he could easily
have avoided the danger and injury to
himself but, realizing fully the peril OF
the men under the boom. he deliberately
chose the part of sacrificing himself.
strongly recommend the recognition Of
First Officer Townsend's behavior

"It's wonderful, remarkable
it's a shame to sell them so very
low" Il never thought fine
piano could be bought so very
rheaply." These are expressions
actually heard today in the ware
rooms at 1218-122o F street,
where the w. F. Frederick Music
Company is selling off the whole
Knabe stock of splendid pianos.
The word bargain" is used SO
much and abused so much that
it has lost it's real meaning to
most people, so surfeited are they
with so-called bargains in all
lines of business. But what other
word can be used to express it
when goods like Knabe pianos
are being sold off at prices never
before seen attached to knabe
piano?
The Frederick Music Company
bought this whole knabe bust
ness. including over 600 pianos, to
get the agency for the Knabe.
Haines Bros. and other pianos
controlled by the American Piano
Company. 1t was a big deal and
took a big lot of money. A GER
tain sum was charged off for the
agencies and the balance pro-
rated to each instrument bought,
with the result that the price at
tached to them does not even rep
resent net cash wholesale cost :;
much less than that, in many
cases it is not more than one-half
of the value of the instrument.
In addition to the splendid lot
of Knabe Grands and Uprights
there are many of those standard,
