Famous Statue Again on Barney Lawn
WASHINGTON. "Natalie,' the' fam
ous Barney statue, bas reap
peared. Emerging from the seclusion
Into which it made an enforced retire
ment last fall the lovely bit of mar
ble, which may or may not be a rep
resentation of the loveliness of Miss
xxaiaue umora Barney by her sister,
tMlss Laura, again stands on the lawn
of Studio House, the palatial real-

Hemmlck.
No vandal eye, however, will be per
mitted to gaze upon the nndraped
loveliness of the statue which set all
jWashlngtou talking last fall. The
caretaker of the Barney-Hemmlck
home has not forgotten the stir the
statue caused and the order of the
chief of police, Major Richard Sylves
ter, which caused It to be boxed and
taken Indoors. The Improvised fence
of barrel staves which the caretaker
erected last year between the lawn
and the street, where thousands gath
ered to gaze on the statue, has been
replaced by a high concrete wail, pen
etrated only by a gateway. Hence
only those who have field glasses and
residences which command a view of
the Barney-Hemmlck backyard will be
able to see the statue. Talented and
vivacious Mrs. Barney-Hemmlck (It
was only last spring she was married
in Paris to Christian Hemmlck, thirty
live' years her Junior) bas returned
from Europe with her husband.
Mrs. Barney, the mother, was much
put out by the stir made by the
statue. The Barney family pooh pooh
the Idea that the statue was Inspired
by or represents Miss Natalie Barney.
They say a professional model was
used by Miss Laura Barney, as she
then was, who maintains a .studio In
Paris. Some acquaintances Insist,
With the Idea of preparing a fitting
surrounding for the Btatue an elab
orate garden will be laid out about
the Barney home. Unique plans, re
flecting the originality and artistic
taste of the mistress of the mansion,
have been drawn. The statue will oo

lll-Flttlng, Shoes to Blame.
The cause of many broken Insteps
comes from imperfectly fitted shoes.
When fitting, if there is too much
space left In the toe of the shoe there
no doubt about it that as soon as
the shoe Is worn for a short time the
heel will begin to chafe and cause the
wearer much annoyance that could be
well dispensed with-, if the clerk Is
given enough time to fit the foot right.
The ball of the foot should be at the

Lightning Seemingly at Play.
That the gambols of electricity are
most fearful and wonderful was Illus
trated In the month of June, 1873,
when, according to Flammarlon, the
electric current entered a butcher's
shop and followed the Iron bara from
which the quarters of meat were hung
until It reached a hook on which the
skinned carcass of a whole ox was
suspended. This was galvanized, and
tor several seconds It was frightfully
contorted as if in convulsions.
Highway Building Soon to Be General
MORE money is being expended In
the good roads movement through
out the United States this year than
has ever before been utilized for this
purpose. Some results of the work
being done by the Touring Club of
America In conjunction with the Amer
ican Association for Highway Im
provement toward educating the pub
lic to the value of Improved highways
throughout the country are illustrated
In a chart JuBt prepared by the United
States office of public roads, which
shows that nearly fifteen thousand
miles of transcontinenal, Interstate
and trunk line roads are contemplated
in various sections of the country.
Although the chart was prepared by
tha office of Dublic roads. It does not
by any means represent all the work
that bas been projected or Is aided
financially by the government
Practically every state In the Union
Is benefited to some, extent by the pro
posed new highways, and the wide
spread Interest In the good roads
movement Indicates that the time 1b
not far distant when the United States
will be Interlaced by a complete sys
tem of good roads.
Estimates prepared by the office of
public roads shows that by improving
20 per cent of the roads of the nation
almost the highest point of efficiency
could be reached. Twenty per cent
ol the roads in each state could be
Improved by an expenditure of an aver
age sum of three million dollars
state and the annual saving thereby
in the wear and tear on horses, wag
ons and automobiles in the transport

dollars.
Proof That Mine Blew Up the Maine
THE Maine was destroyed by an ex
ternal explosion. There no longer
remains any doubt as to the manner
Jn which the United States battleship
"was sunk in Havana harbor on Feb
ruary 15, 1898. The double bottom of
the ship bas been revealed with part
of the keel standing perpendicular,
some 28 feet higher than Its normal
position. This confirms the report
and testimony which Ensign Powel
son gave before the Investigating
board after the disaster and whlcb
was based upon the reports made to
him by divers Just after the explosion,
Military experts who Inspected the
vessel recently found that the bottom
of the ship stands In a perpendicular
position, supported by stanchions. -The

Alleged Tots Can Be Purchased for

Connection With the Death
of Child.
Philadelphia, Pa. Investigating the
death of an Infant that was found
scantily clad and drenched by the
rain. In an alley here, Coroner Ford
made the startling discovery that
there exists in Philadelphia a baby
farm where innocent babes are bar
tered and sold.
While the coroner listened aghast
he heard from Special Agent Kinkald
of the Society to Protect Children
From Cruelty, that women have at
tempted to coerce men Into matrimony
by getting babies from the farm and
foisting them off as . their offspring
upon the men whom they sought to
wed.
From the lips of Lillian Hlnkle, he
learned that she hSA purchased a baby
tor five dollars from the baby .farm.
The woman was held, charged with
the death of the child, by Coroner
Ford, by special request of Assistant
District Attorney Patterson, without
ball, to await the action of the grand
Jury.
With the Hinkle woman was held
Edwin Rose, who gave the same ad
dress as the woman. He was charged
with being implicated with the girl
and was not admitted to ball. It was
brought out In the testimony that Rose
and the Hlnkle woman had been en
gaged to marry, but that the union
was opposed by the young man's family.
The woman admitted when question-

of the bottom, experts declare, Indi
cates that what is now the highest
point originally and structurally occu
pied a position at about frame 18. This
suggests that there was an explosion
of a. mine under that part of the ship,
say about midway between the stem
and the midship section.
The explosion, experts believe, broke
tbe ship Into two parts, throwing one
section, Including the conning tower,
toward the stern, the conning tower
falling on the superstructure on the
starboard side. From this position, In
cutting away the wreckage, it bas
been allowed to settle to tbe main
deck slightly forward of the after tur
ret, which is on the port side. Thus
the tower is on the opposite -side to
that on which tbe explosion took
place.
It Is a confirmed belief that such a
tearing of the ship's bottom could not
have been produced by an interior ex
plosion. It Is further said that no reg
ulation military mine could have
wrought such terrific bavoo.

Destructive New Type of Torpedoes
THE range of torpedoes has been In
creased from 4,600 yards to 12,000
yards by the completion of two new
types by the bureau of ordnance. Ar
mor piercing torpedoes of this new
type, It is claimed, can be fired from
battleships, torpedo boats and sub
marine jubes at a range of Dearly
sevenx miles with the same accuracy
that projectiles are burled from guns.
Some time ago it was learned by
the naval authorities that foreign tor
pedo companies bad developed tor
pedoes with a range of 8,000 yards,
- and that some of the powers had
. placed orders for this class of projec
tiles. It became apparent that some
thing must be done to meet this In
crease in tbe strength of other navlea.
A board of officers In the ordnance
bureau was assigned to the taBk
At the bureau of ordnance it was
stated that unless some new defense
against torpedoes is developed tbe
most powerful super-dreadnought
would be helpless ngalnst tbe attack
of submarine and torpedo boats. Es
pecially does this new type of torpedo
Increase the destructiveness of the
submarines already so formidable.
By tbe plan now being prepared
submarines are to be equipped with
12 of these new projectiles. It Is not
thought It will be necessary for sub
marines to fire at a longer range than
2,000 yards. From that distance It
will he Impossible for officers on a bat
tleship to locate a submarine, and
there has not yet been devised any
way to attack these boats. Officers
of tbe ordnance bureau declare that
at a distance of 2,000 yards a sub
marine could drive its 12 monster tor
pedoes under the armor belt of a bat
tleshlp and sink her without giving

California Officials Hit Hard by New
6tate Rules Limiting
Expenditures.
Sacramento, Cal. Any official of the
state of California who cares to wear
creased trousers on official business
can pay for the creasing himself. The
stats' does not recognize any responsi
bility in this direction. The official al
so will pay for the laundering of col
lars soiled In travel or else go on wear
ing them. As for "valeting" there
being no permissible terms strong
enough to express the disapproval of
the state board of control against such
luxury. The new regulations, wherein
are set forth these facts, simply say
It Is "not a proper charge against the
state and will not be allowed."
Necessity for confining expense ac
counts of state officials within cast
Iron rules Is said to have originated
partly In the alleged conduct of a for
mer state adjutant general, who on
an official trip to Washington, went as
far as to have his wrinkled uniform
pressed at the Washington end of the
trip and put the expense thus In in
curred uo to California's taxpayers. It
never can happen again.
Other restrictions fixed by the new
board are SI a day for hotel room
rent, or $1.50 a day. for train space;
S3 a day for food off trains and an ex
tra $1.60 on trains; no tips, no cabs,
no special conveyances; vouchers for
all expenses over $1 and Itemized ac
