instructions"
She would not explain what the in
structions were, but demanded the
right to get Greed NJ. Fulton, a prom
inent Washington attorney and per
sonal friend of her family, on the
long distance wire.
Judge Swami granted this request,
and. accompanied by FIVE court at
PENDANTS and seven detectives, Mrs
FitZhugh went to a public telephone
booth and called up Washington

Rumors spread quickly that Mr..
Levy had advised her to change her
plea to guilty and that she had re-
fused. This proved later to have been
the case.
The response from Washington
stated that Mr. Fulton's telephone had
been disconnected.
When informed Of this Mrs. FItz-
hugh collapsed, and DR.. Mcguire Of
the Tombs, was hastily sent for. She
rejected his services and announced
that she would fight the battle alone.
Judge Swami would not permit It and
ordered her to procure counsel imme-
diately
Plea of equity" Comes.
The trial was resumed at 2:15 p m,
and Judge Swami announced that
Louis Spiegel, a criminal lawyer, of
346 Broadway, had been retained to
continue the case. Motions to dis
charge the jury on the ground Of a
mistrial were denied, and then for two
hours whispered conversations were
had between the lawyer for Mrs.
Fitzhugh, Judge Swami and the de-
PENDANT.
At 8 o'clock the jury was recalled,
and Albert Church, brother-in-law Of
Miss Dorothy Fisk took the stand.
Before he could testify however, Mr..
Spiegel stopped the case again and
requested the right further to con-
suit with his client.
At this point Judge Swami con-
ferred with the Assistant District At
torney, who whispered 10 the defend
ant She thereupon arose and plead
ed guilty to second degree grand lar
ceny on both indictments. Judge
Swami Immediately remanded her to
the Tombs for sentence.
Washington friends of Mrs Ran

save her from prison.

Stick to Your Bargain.

During the campaign TO win the
privilege of having the Panama Expo
sition held at San Francisco, the
boomers" assured Congress in most
positive terms that no money appro-
priation would be asked for 1t was,
in fact. one OF the strongest arguments
brought forth. and it turned the scales
in favor of the Golden Gate City to
the great disappointment of New Or
leans. In short, the exposition was
awarded to San Francisco in return
for the promise that no money was to
be demanded from the Federal gov
ernment. There was in reality but lit
tie interest, if any, in the show, with
the exception of the two cities that
craved it. The idea was opposed by
many even on the ground that the ex-
position business was overdone and
that no one could foretell how much it
would cost the government. This lat
ter objection was met by the San
Francisco boomers with the assurance
that nothing would be asked for.
And yet it is now proposed that Con-
gress shall appropriate 100000 and
provide seven commissioners. who
shall serve for four years, at a salary
of $500 year. This said Repre-
sentative Lenroot. comes nearer to a
piece of graft than anything that l
have seen in the House for a long
time" 1t seems, too. that the Califor-
mans, who boast of their self-reliance
and self-eficiency, ought to be humil-
lated at the mere suggestion that they
cannot carry through this work with

Future of Turkey.

II is not likely that Turkey will be
driven out Of Europe as a result of the
recent war, comments the indianapolis
News. On the contrary. II is generally
understood that she will be allowed TO
retain possession of a considerable por-
tioH OF her European territory. But the
Turks individuals seem TO feel the
pressur. of forces that il is impossible
to resist. forces that are driving them
back to Asia. One hundred thousand of
them have already left Europe for the
old home of their race They are being
assisted by the Red Cross Society, and
their own government is providing them
with free farms beyond the Posphorus.
Such shifting OF population as this is
certainly significant.
The Turks really do not belong to
Europe at all. More and more of them
will realize that fact as the years go by
Race consciousness will still further i'm
press il on them. Western civilization Is
to-day dominant throughout the world
The West is not becoming like the East
the East is becoming like the West.
Southeastern Europe will. therefore, in
creasingly take tone from the rest OF
Europe-and not from Turkey. So the
Turks will feel less and less at home in
Europe. and feel more and more drawn
to Asia.

UNPOETIC ALDERMAN BROWN.
As New York Sees His Ordinance
Against Shaking for Cigars.

An intrusive and meddlIng Alderman !,
Humer Brown by name. has had the au-
dacity to strike a blow at one OF the
Unique and most widely approved insti-
tutions OF Kansas City. He is the father
and, all travellers will hope, the sole sup
porter of a proposed ordinance designed
to abolish the happy custom Of dice shak-
ing for cigars with the beautiful young
Missouri women who adorn the tobacco
departments OF the Kansas City hotels.
II is the practice of these captivating
young creatures TO offer. when a man
buys smoke. to shake dice with him.

woman to receive adequate compensation
for her goods and her time il he is

proposal advanced a few years ago. The
terms differed with the environment, but
the gross result was a combination of
tobacco, mild gaming and feminine
charm at one soothing. enlivening. and.
of course. elevating. This pleasant rec

We have nothing but contempt for him.
We regard him with disdain. He would

Whitman's 'Higher-up" Trail.

New York, through its District At
torncYs hunt after corrupt policemen
and methods. has become a byword
in the entire country But bad as this
could not help to be in its demoraliz-
ing effect on the police force and in
the reproaches heaped upon the me-
tropolis, it would have been a great
deal worse to continue to hold the
lid down" From the very first begin
ming of the probe it was the business
of the New York police department to
try TO get all the facts that had caused
the disgusting rumors to spread. And
it was the duty Of Commissioner
Waldo to lend every aid possible to
the efforts of the District Attorney to
get at these facts. More than that.
Now that Mr. Whitman seems to be
almost ready to expose the story of
New York police corruption, every
policeman who knows that he is not
guilty-and there are numbers of such
should join in this hunt after his COL
leagues that are supposed to he GRIM

Metallic masses with a porous. spongy
structure; sponges that are solid instead
of flexible and that can be filled with
liquid. but not squeezed dry again-this
is what an inventor from Denmark has
just given to the world. This spongy
form Of metal is already of great use
in making storage batteries, and II will
probably find employment in scores Of
ways not only for a minimum mass but
also where II is wished to impregnate
the metal with some liquid or semi
liquid substance. In La Nature, the
manufacture and uses of this new prod
uct are described. The invention is based
on the fact that an alloy, say of lead
and antimony, half and half, Is found TO
consist of a coarse network of large
crystals, which were the first to solIdify,
filled in with a mass of fine crystals
formed later and are called the "eutectic
alloy" At temperatures between those

MODERN INVENTIONS
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwaah."

The man who invented the souvenir
postal card was as big a genius as the
man who first thought of the collar but
ton, the dooEknob, and the fountain pen.
The souvenir card Is a boon to the
man who is too lazy to write and too
poor TO telegraph. BY its means fami-
lies have been reunited and old friends
brought together after years of silence.
BY the aid of a souvenir card, a l-cen'
stamp, and a lead pencil, one may say
"Hello," across trackless oceans and end
less plains with almost no effort at all.
The result is that when a man goes
abroad nowadays he not only gives his
family a pictorial diary of his trip. but
he renews his acquaintance with every
one whom he has known in the distant
past. A thirty-third degree souvenir card
tiend, when travelling. devotes eight hours
to sleeping, eight hours to eating, and
eight hours to souvenir cards.
A souvenir card takes the place of q
guide book, a camera, diary. and pri-
vate secretary. when the tourist strikes
new town he goes to the nearest SOU
venir cardery. even II 1t is more than
fifty feet away, and finds out what is
worth looking at in the place. When he
has done the town, he returns to the
CdTu store ana plChs out pictuIta OF the
sights that have impressed him. Then
he goes to his hotel and mails these
cards TO such persons who will be most
profoundly paralyzed with wonder at the
extent of his travels.
At one time popularity was determined
by elections and subscription contests
Now a mans popularity is measured by
the souvenir cards which he receives.

Tvyenty-four-ho Clocks.

From HsrTer's Weekly.
Many years ago the Italian Govern
ment established a standard twenty-four-
hour day as an official basis for record
ing and reporting time. All the railroads
in Italy run on schedules whose hours
are numbered continuously from mid
night TO midnight. Later the same sys-
TEN was adopted in Belgium, and within
the year also in France. One of the
chief obstacles to the adoption of the
plan in any country lies In the fact that
We are accustomed to our forenoon and
afternoon system Of calculations. and our
watches are all built on the twclve-hour
plan.
FrenchwOman. Nine Martha Ma
zaudrler. has devised a plan for recon-
CLING our old watch face habits with the
new system. Her plan consists essen
TALLY of a supplementary pointer and a
supplementary dial The scheme allows
of many different combinations. In one
style of watch the numbers from l TO
"a are arranged around the outer mar
gin and the numbers from l to l. in a
second circle nearer the center The
minute hand makes a complete revolu-
ton every hour, but there are two hours
hands; one makes a revolution in l2
hours. and the other one in "A hours One
can, therefore, tell at glance what
the time is according to either system.
To avoid confusion the two hour hands
can be differentiated by means of color
or form. In one style of watch the
smaller 12-hour dial is distinct from the
larger 24-hour dial and slightly raised
above it. The longer hour hand travels
between the two disks. only the very
tip of it being visible beyond the mar
gin of the smaller dial. In this way any
possible confusion of the eye by the pres
ence of third hand is entirely, avoided,

End of the Martyr" Role.

A relentless enforcement OF the law
henceforth, it is to be hoped, will have
4 calming influence upon the madness
that has afflicted these women. Still.
no one can foretcll the result. as the
entire movement is extraordinary. and
it would be unsafe to make any pre-.
diction as to their future plans ana
actions. Yet this shrinking from i'm
prisonment by those who thus far
courted it ought to be encouraging as
symptom. Those who know anything
about British jailS will admit that it
was not the spirit OF a martyr" which
prompted the militant suffragettes to
grow tired of confinement. but the cs-
tablished fact that these penal insti-
tutions are anything but a desirable
or pleasant abode for any woman. if
she can manage to stay out of them,
Hence the recent payment of fines in
preference. after a trial that was con-
vincing in its English severity. The
militant women found it far more
agreeable to have a brother, or
father, or relative, or friend pay their
fine and to contemplate jail prefer
ably from the outside. The claim is
made by their followers and admirers
that they did not pay the fines them
selves" but as long as they proftcd by

The 'Interior" Joke.

The efforts made to influence Presi-
dent-elect Wilson in his choice OF the
members of his Cabinet 10 doubt al
ford him amusement quite as often as
annoyance. The latest is the attempt
of five great Western agricultural
States to make Mr.. Wilson see that
"man from the interior" should be
selected by him to adninisteE the dc
partment of the Interior" because of
his familiarity with public lands, con-
servation, irrigation. Indians, &c,
is about the best thing in the way OF
a joke, and certainly will not influence
him in the least. Experience has taught
the lesson that a capable business man
without prejudiccs concerning the IS
sue upon which the conservationists
are so badly divided, perhaps may
make a far better Secretary of the In
terror than man who knows an ir-
rigation ditch from a dry farm.
Often one who has had part in the
controversies which have ragged in the
West over these matters has acquired
prejudices or formed convictions which
interfere with that broader vision
which is essential to a wise admins
tration. 1t is not at all certain that
an able man from the East, untouched
by even the most remote shadow of
the land scandals, or the irrigation
projects, or the conservation question.
would not best serve the purpose OF
Gov. Wilson to secure 4 competent
treatment of these questions.
