She was in the heavy sleep of drunkenness, She had no wrap, and it was impossible for me to leave her to sleep there all night in the damp fog and on the chill granite slab. T tried to rouse her, but she only fought me off and mumbled oaths. I left her and sought a policeman. “I have found,” I said to him, “a young woman lying drunk and asleep ina door- way, and unless she is taken care of the exposure may kill her.” “*Show me where she is and I'll run her in.” “That is js do,” Isaid. “I propose to put her to bed somewhere and I want your help; that is all.” The officer regarded me with a bored surprise and agreed. He was much rougher with her than I had been and so roused her without great difficulty, placed her on her feet, and she stood lurching ard grumbling and sup- ported between us. By the light of a match he recognized her. “Hello, Rose; you are at it again, are you?” His voice and dimly seen star and brass buttons alarmed her and she pleaded piteously “Don’t run me in, Mike; don’t run me in “I’m not going todo that,” he said, “but you've got to go home.” This made her cower and crouch and hang back.

The physician wiped away the blood with a sponge, while Rosa lay perfectly still and silent, holding my left hand tightly ciutched in both of hers, my free hand stroking her forehead.

L LOSE HER LEG. WILL Sad Sequel to the University Mound Cruelty Case. A painful surgical operation was recently performed by the surgeons at the Chil- dren’s Hospital upon the limb of little Eugenie Perrett, whose parents lived in the University Mound district, and who were arrested for cruelty to their two little girls. Both children had had their legs broken, but their drunken parents paid no attention to the injuries, which partly healed in a shocking manner. The surgeons stated that Eugenie would die of blood poison if something was not done for the child. Accordingly they opened the leg and scraped and straight- ened the bone. For all this, they fear that the limb bad been neglected too long, and that amputation will be necessary to save the child’s hife. The father is still in the County Jail, waiting his trial on_the cruelty charge, and the mother is awaiting sentence. MOURNED BY HIS FLOCK, REV. D. HANSON IRWIN'S DEATH CAME AS A GREAT SHOCK TO ALL. SUCCUMBED TO AN ATTACK OF AP- PENDICITIS — ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL. The death of Rev. D.

[From a photograph.] been ill for less than a week, but never rallied after submitting to an operation for | appendicitis, Bryant. The deceased was quite a young man, being only 29 years old. He was a native of County Cork, ate of Queen’s University. His father is a Presbyterian clergyman in Ireland and his brother occupies a pulpit in Melbourne, Australia, performed by Dr. E. H. Mr. Irwin came to St. John's less than | two years ago from San Antonio, Tex. When the offer of the pulpit at St. John’s | was made to him he said that he preferred to ocenpy it for some time to give him an opportunity to get better acquainted with the members of his flock.

GALLAGHER DIDN'T SPEND Four Hours a DAY oN Her KNEEs. Rev. Dennis Nugent filed his answer yes- terday in the snit brought by P. J. White, | official administrator of the Ellen Galla- | xher estate, relative to the recovery of $120,000 that Mrs. Gallagher gave to the church and charity. He denies that the valueof the estate ‘was more than $20,365, as shown by the in- ventory; that he was the spiritual adviser of Thomas Gallagher or Ellen Gallagher; that any undue influence was used; that he ever assumed control of the Gallagher estate; or that Ellen Gallagher's house was fitted up like a chapel. Then he con- tinues: As to the allegation in said complaint con- tained “that she spent habitually from two 0 four hours a day in her house on her knees in her religious devotions, getting up every day | at5o'clock in the morning, going to churen, | where she would spend an hour, and repeating these observances each evening, he avers that he has no information or belief upon the sub- | ject sufficient 10 enable him to answer the same and, therefore, aud placing his denial | | upon that ground, he denies the same and | every part thereof, while he would personally | be pleased and glad to know that such allega- tion in its length and breadth were true. Further he denies: That Mrs. Gallagher was over 85 years or more than 67 years old, and that he ever taught the woman that by giving her estate to | the church she would thé more fully perform her duties as a Christian_woman, elevate her- | sell in the estimation of the church or the people, or secure salvation in the world 10 come, that any devices cr machinations were used to ge: control of the property, or | that he, his brother and his sister alone en- | joyed the Gallagher hospitality. | He admits that various deeds were signed and executed by Mrs. Gallagher, though he declares that no undue ir fluence was used, and he admits that be- fore her death Mrs. Gallagher conveyed to him property aggregating in value §95,959 15, and that he refuses to turn that | vroperty over to the administrator. | A general denial of various minor alle- | gations is made.

My w. quarts here v took me through the poorer s of the Latins. A lamp shone and there within doors, mothers their frowsy children to supper from the street, and growing lines of yellow lights in the darker reaches below showed that the lamplighters had already begun their work. At one of the entrances to a decrepid brick house which opened into an alley a small but eager crowd of urchins was hering, and a familiar word spoken in a foreign tongue here and there informed me that something mysterious and pos- sibly terrible had happened. 1 pushed jmy way through the group and ap- vroached the entrance. At that juncture |2 woman with a badly frightened face emerged excitedly, swept the little crowd with her glance, and, observing me, hurriedly stepped close. She was a Spanish woman, poorly dressed. Her desperation overcame her timidity, for she approached me, wringing her hands and begging me in a quaint mixture of Eng- lish and Spanish to come within, as the doctor needed some man to help him. I followed her instantly. She led me up some stairs to a hallway and then into a chamber where an elderly Spanish woman sat utterly helpless with distraction, surrounded by two or three equally help- less and desperately frightened women of her race. The woman who had fetched me stood panting and dazed. A partly open door led into an inner room, from which came the sounds of a man’s voice and a woman's cries. I entered the room. I cannot possibly explain why 1 was not surprised at the terrible scene which ap- peared before me. Perhaps it was because I had been thinking of Rosa all the way up the hill and wondering if I had done what 1 should or might. Certain it is that she was in my mind, and equally certain it is that I wasnot surprised to see her lying there covered with blood and fiercely struggling with the physician. Likely it would have been impossible for me to recognize her had I not bLeen thinking of her, and that I did recognize her at all is something at which I marvel to this day. I stepped forward quickly. The doctor turned a grateful glance upon me, and roughly said: ‘“‘Here, hold her while I examine the wound. She fights like a tiger, and those d——d women are all scarea to death.” I released the fierce grip with which she was clutching his beard and hair ana called her by name.

WiLL WAGE AN ENDLESS WARFARE AcainsT THE USE OF ALL ADULTERANTS. In four days more Milk Inspector Dock- ery will have been in office exactly one During the twenty-six days that Health he has done more toward giving the people of San Francisco pure milk than all his predecessors combined. This is saying a great deal, but the facts prove the assertion. During the twenty- six days Mr. Dockery has had the appoint- ment he hus made 130 inspections, result- ing in over fifty arrests. This means that in the past less than one out of every three | dairymen have been palming off on an un- suspecting public all sorts of adulterated milk—milk with water, preservative and poisonous animal fats. ; In the main this sort of thing has stop ped. The dairymen fully appreciate the fact that Dockery means business, and no better illustration of this could be had than the raid of last Thursday night. On that occasion over fifty wagons were halted, samples from which were put through the Babcock test. Inall this number only one roved faulty and, as it happened, was rom one of the representative dairies of the County. 2 As a general thing the dairymen are right in line for the work now being done by Mr. Dockery. They claim, meaning those who have at all times sold only pure | adulteration, such a thing as profit being practically an unknown quantity. If all the dealers, they argue, are forced to sell only pure milk the price must go back to a paying basis. As an evidence of the desire of the people at Jarge to buy only pure milk it can be stated with authority that the daily re- ceipts of those dairies which came up to the standard have increased from 25 to 100 per cent. | Some idea may be gained of the extent which this adulteration was carried on from the statement that dairies which heretofore used only twenty -five and thirty cows have been adding from ten to twelve milch-givers to the herd. Itis to be expected, of course, that a few venturesome spirits will continue to adul- terate their milk, hoping or willing to take the chance of escaping the inspector. Dockery, however, says he doesnot pro- pose to sleep at all, that 1s so far as any one can learn, but will continue the war- fare for pure milk morning, noon and night. —————— Anxious to Move the Cemetories.
