More Domesticlty.

We have received so many kind and
sympathetic letters commiserating us
upon the loss of our Culinary Depart.
ment that we are moved to make
public acknowledgment OF the same.
One touch OF domcsticity makes the
whole world kin!
And now II some of our sympathetic
friends will only come and cook for
us .!
Speaking OF domestic and culinary
matters, as so many Washing ton ANS
are, does any one know what that
large, bright tin dish with the holes
In its sides Ia for? We have seen II In
other kitchens, as well as in our own,
and IL ls an object of mystery to our
untutorcd mind. Obviously IL could
not be used to boil an egg. The water
would all run out through the per.
forations In Its base. our general
knowledge OF the laws OF physics tells
w that. And tho same objection ap
plies to other possibilities OF culinary
adventure.
Perhaps II has no use at all. Per.
haps II IL just put there to make
things harder.
Some day we are going to write the
Drama OF the Dumbwaiier. II will be
the great American play. IL will be
universal In its appeal. and cosmopoi.
itan In character. IL will lie some.
where In the realm between laughter
and tears.

HAS ARM SEVERED.
Edward Williams Suffers Accident
While at Work at AitchesOn's
Planning Mill.

Edward Williams, about 40 years
old, had his arm accidentally severed
just below the elbow about one
o'clock this afternoon at the plan
ing mill of Aitcheson and Brothers
2l5 south Union street. The mar
was at work on one of the machines
and in some way managed to get
his arm twisted between a shaft and
belt, and the arm was cut clean.
He was hurried to the Alexandria
Hospital just after the accident
where Drs. S. B. Moore and w. NJ
Smith amputated the arm just above
the elbow, and reports are that he
has recovered from the shock and
loss of blood and is doing as well
as could be expected.
The victim of the accident lives
on the first block of Commerce St.
Several years ago, Mr.. Williams
lost part of his hand by a similar ac.
cident, it is stated.

BEAT WIFE WITH HAMMER
Threw Aside Clean Clothes and De
manded Beer

Baltimore, Aug. 10-"Had your
wife thrust a knife through your
heart it would have been no more
than you deserve Had she SO chosen
tor defend herself could and would
do nothing to her"
Such was the comment of Justice
Gerecht yesterday morning in the
Eastern Police Court before scntcnc-
ing Frank Trusky to six months in
the house of correction.
At the opening of the court ses-
sion Mrs. Mary Trusky, the wife, APP
peared before the magistrate and
asked for warrant for her husband
Only a part Of her face was visible
from beneath a mass of bandages and
of that her eyes were bloodshot and
her cheeks were terribly swollen.
The warrant was issued and Trusky
was arrested and brought before the
Judge a few minutes later, charged
with assaulting and beating his wife
with heavy lead hammer. The ham
mer was brought in as evidence.
The wife testified the trouble start
ed last night when her husband came
home from work. Knowing that he
would be in a perspiration after such
hot day she had ironed a clean
suit of underwear for him, which she
offered to him. He threw it aside,
she alleged, and demanded beer and
more beer. Then he started beating
her, using the hammer on top Of her
head and his fists OH her face. The
wife spent last night in sleepless
agony.
Other than that he was drunk, the
wife's testimony.
"You are brute and a brute's
punishment you are getting" said
Justice Gerecht in sentencing him.
