CHRISTY GETS THE CUSTODY OF CHILD

But the Mother, the Court Rules, May Visit with the Little Girl. ENDS A BITTER LAW SUIT LITTLE ONE LAUGHED CONTENTEDLY WHEN SHE NESTLED IN ins, m n ivi o ur 1-lfcK VERY HAPPY ARTIST-FATHER. Zanesvllle, Ohio, Jan. 29. Little Natalie Christy Is to remain in the care and custody of her father, Artist Howaid Chandler Christy of Duncan Falls. This was the gist of the decision rendered In the habeas corpus case of Mabelle Thompson Christy against Howard Chandler Christy for the possession of the child by Judge II. C. Smith in the probate court yesterday afternoon. The substance of Judge Smith's finding is as follows: Howard Chandler Christy will retain control and custody of the child: Mrs. Mabelle Christy, the mother, is to have the right of visitation at all suitable and reasonable times; little Natalie must not be removed from the Christy home at Duncan Falls for any unreasonable length of time, nor must the child be removed from the immediate care of Miss Rose Christy, her tutor, without the permission of the court. Each side was ordered to pay the fees of its own witnesses. His Wife Was Absent. Mrs. Christy was not present. Mr. Christy listened intently to every word the court uttered. A trace of a smile was visible when the court reached the point where he gave the father the custody of the child. On leaving the court room the artist said: "Of course I'm satisfied. I was fighting for Natalie. Some persons have criticised me for doing what I did at the trial, but all of it was forced upon me. I simply had to fight for the child." The little girl has been at the F. A. Durban home since the hearirur was begun. "You'll have to get a writ of habeas corpus yourself to get her from me," remarked Attorney Durban to Mr. Christy. The father and child met In the corridor of the People's Savings Bank Building at 3:15 o'clock, yesterday afternoon for the first time after the decision. The father picked the little girl up in his arms, kissed her and cried, "Well, here we are." Little Natalie nestled close against his shoulder and laughed contentedly. "I am very happy," was all 6he would sav. Easy to buy, easy to try, the best, wholesome, appetizing breakfast is Mrs. Austin's famous pancakes. A HARD LUCK STORY Hagerstown Man Has Foot Crushed, Then Has It Bitten by Dog. HIS CONDITION IS SERIOUS (Palladium Special) Hagerstown, Ind., Jan. 29. To have one's foot mashed is quite misfortune enough .but to have the injured member bitten by a ferocious canine, who became peeved simply because his tail had been stepped on, almost caps the climax, according to Marshal Louis Petty, who has just passed through such an experience and ought to know. Petty was at work at the L. I. Car company, when he dropped a heavy cylinder on his foot, mashing it and causing a very painful injury. That was several days ago and Marshal Petty was just beginning to rest easv again when he incurred the wrath of his small pet dog, who showed his , dislike for the manner In which he had been treated by taking a chunk out of Petty s big toe and on his injured foot, too. A physician was called and it is now feared that the injury may prove serious in view of the fact that blood poisoning is very apt to develope. , A POPULAR CONSUL Stockholm, Jan. 29. Americans who came to Sweden, and who for business reasons came m contact with their consul-general here, are unanimous in singing his praise. Consul-general Winslow, who has been accredited to Sweden for about a year, always welcomes American business men who wish to "make good" in this country, lte is not only a hustler himself, but a most courteous gentleman, sparing himself no pains to make things easy for the visitor from the United States. Speaking Swedish fluently, he is able to give them valuable assistance in their business affairs. Consul-general and Mrs. Winslow also entertain most lavishly which they are able to do on their private Income which is a large one, independent of the consul's oficial salary. The Win slows come from Chicago and their daughter, who is musically giftetd, is studying in Berlin. NOTICE T. P. A. Important moetiug of the Post this evening. Signed M. I HASTY Secretary. W. II'.

Oysters Are Fattened On Filth awa-nwanwaanannnnn. aanaana.ajsn.nnwM.. And Game is Kept in Cold Storage Until Rotten, is Statement made by Dr. Wiley to the Food Probers.

Washington, Jan. 29. Oysters, poultry, game, butter and eggs were discussed by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, at yesterday's hearing before the special district sub committee, which is in vestigating the local food problem. A pleasant practice of oyster dealers of shucking salt water oysters and then putting them in fresh water, sometimes near the mouth of a sewer to fatten, was fully described by the chief chemist. The more sewage the quicker the oyster fattened, he said. Also the more typhoid and other diseases. This treatment, even when the water is clean, makes the salt w a ter oyster swell up far beyond its natural size and turn white. It is to all intents and purposes an adulteration, and the government is going after all dealers guilty of the practice. Discussing game he mentioned that some states now forbid the storage of game for sale in closed seasons. He suggested that real high livers did not care much for game until it becomes high, not in price, but in flavor, and he told a story of a man who shipped

quail to Europe and who would not think of putting them on the ice or in the cold storage department of the ship. He just secured permission to hang them from one of the masts, where they remained ail during the voyage, ripening in the breeze. The folks who consumed these quail thought them just fine. There was no practical evidence of a scientific sort, the doctor said, to show that cold storage helps game or improves its flavor. It could be kept for a year or so without appreciable deterioration if in good condition when put in. He declared, however, that no game should be permitted to be stored longer than from one open season to the beginning of the next, if for no other reason than that this regulation would prevent fraud. Then the committee took up the question of cheese and cheeses, for

eign and domestic, old and new, and Dr. Wiley displayed intimate familiarity with the mail. Incidentally the ripening of a cheese was absolutely necessary, he said, before it was fit to eat. He had not investigated the manufacture of any of the noisy French cheeses except Camembert, he

said, but in the case of tni3 product : the ripening process took about Cfl j

days in autumn and 50 days in winter, j Referring to poultry the chief chemist said it should never be sold after being thawed. Yet this is the practice. The chickens are dipped in warm water, after being taken from cold storage and before being sold. This makes them 6well up and look fat and attractive. But decompositions starts almost immediately. Another little trick of the retailer was to dab a little fresh blood on the bill of a cold storage fowl which gave to the unitiated that a chicken or a duck that had not seen the light of day for a year or more had just shuffled off this mortal coil. '"They break the breast bone of fowls to make them seem tender," suggested Chairman Moore. "And they dab fresh blood oa shad the same as chickens." said Representative Rothermel of Pennsylvania. On butter Dr. Wiley talked for some time, giving his opinion there should be a law against coloring the product, a proposition which was now legally permissible. "Butter belongs to the fresh fish and egg class," he said, "in that it is always better when absolute ly fresh." He gave it as his opinion that the tax on oleomargarine was undoubtedly responsible for the increase in the price of butter. Then Wiley told of the improve ments instituted by his bureau for the shipping of oysters, by which it was possible to ship shucked oysters in or dinary cars surrounded by ice from Washington to Denver and bark, and keep them in such good shape as to make it impossible tor anyone to tell when they arrived in Washington again, that they had not been freshly shucked. The committee wanted to know whether the egg floating test demonstrated yesterday by Mr. Wiley could be adapted commercially and Dr. Wiley said it could be at insignificant cost. T TAFT HITS PUBLISHERS In Speech to Magazine Men He Warns Them Against "Muck-Raking." NOBODY WILL GIVE HEED HE REFERS TO INTIMATIONS AGAINST GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AS A "LACK OF ANY HONORABLE MOTIVE. Washington, Jan. 20. -President Taft told the periodical publishers of the United States last night that if they overloaded their criticisms of men in administrative authority with unparliamentary expressions and intimations as to lack of honorable motives nobody is going to pay any attention to them. Although he made no direct allusion to "muckraking' it was plainly evident at what he was directing his attack. The president addressing the Periodical Publishers' association of America, as their guest at dinner, did not give this advice to the editors assem - bled from all parts of the United States until he had prefaced his emphatic conclusions with good humored treatment of his relative position to the wielders of public opinion. A Formidable Gathering. "This is rather a formidable gathering to address," said the president after he had been presented by F. Hoikinson Smith, toastmasater of the occasion. "Gentlemen who act as fates as to what is or is not current literature would under any circumstances be formidable to address, and under conditions prevailing at Washington and in legislative halls it requires a brave man, standing in my position to face them. "As to controversies, let me say that all evidence, questions of cast, be weighted broadly to reach an ultimate conclusion. It is the case with every trust as much as we condemn them for their iniquities. The evidence must be weighed. It does no good to denounce a person on the witness stand if he testifies against you. Men Become Indifferent. "You controllers of public opinion and controllers of the rulers of the country may hammer a man into indifference as to what you say, but at that he will come nearer doing right than if he tried to fght. But seriously speaking, I would like to say that when you criticise a poor devil exercising a difficult responsibility, first give him the same benefit enjoyed by every criminal, that of reasonable doubt. Secondly, don't use unparliamentary expressions if you can help it. for if you do and, if you overload your criticisms with superlatives and intimations as to his lack of honorable motives in the end you will weaken all your criticism and nobody is going to pay any attention to it. "In respect to this matter of postage it is for judicial investigation and a conclusion should be reached on a calm business basis. I have no doubt that you will find in the committee of congress that careful judgment that is needed. I don't agree with some of the committee who started out by shouting grafter and robber, but nobody should be led astray just because some gentleman's heat carried him away from the bounds of judgment."

MISS MADELINE SWIFT

FIGURES IN ROMANCE 9 yrK'J'i rot. r Miss Madeline Swift, the daughter of Admiral Swift, whose engagement to Harry Buer Storcr was broken, it is said because of an alleged roundabout insult by Paymaster G. W. Auld, against whom charges have been made to the navy department. The affair is so mixed up and has so many ramifications that it is understood and the White House has given orders to be strictly silent. Paymaster Auld has been summoned to appear before a court martial on Jan. amination into the expenses and administration of postal affairs." Cyrus Curtis, president of the periodical publishers and editors of all the leading magazines in the country were present. Among other speakers were the Italian ambassador and Speaker Cannon. M'BRIOE IS IN BAD Irishman Who Fought with Beers Makes Englishmen Very Wrathy. HE SNEERS AT THE NAVY ! I-oncIon. Jan. 29. Major McBride, I the Irish hero, who fought on the I5oer side during the war has aroused a storm of indignation all over England by a speech he made at Kilkenny the other day. "Some of our friends," he said, "talk of supremacy of the English navy, but that navy has never been tested in modern times, and it is public property how bitterly its chiefs love one another. The wooden walls of 100 years nj;o are rotten today; the iron walls that patrolled our seas in '67 are row rusty old scrap-iron; the steel walls tli&t glide majestically along in fine weather at present get run down by American liners, and cannot carry out the simplest manaeuvres without ramming one another. It is most b(;ne in mind, also, that the other nations of the world, particularly German;- ar.d America, are fast gaining command of the sea. and to add to England's troubles the man in the flying machine will shortly be able to destroy the best ships afloat with little or no danger to himself. It is quite probably, then, that in the near future we may see a soldier from New York, or Berlin, sketching the ruins of St. Paul's in London, instead of Macaulay's stranger from New Zealand. "You are all familiar with the old ballad which says, " "The French war on tje sea', but nowadays we know it is the Germans that are taking to the sea. and we can only pray that they will not remain so long at sea as the French have. Should they land in Ireland, they will be received with willing hearts and strong hands, and should England be their destination, it is to be hoied that they will find time to disembark 100.000 rifles, and a few score of cannon, wita ammunition far same, in this country, and twelve months later this land will be as free as the Ixird God meant it should be." THE uROFUSSAULT A mistake was made yesterday when it was published in this paper that William Groft, who was fined $1 and costs on an assault and battery charge had attacked his wife because he had found her in company with another man. of whom he was jealous.

A Paris Department Store Sale

Mere Mention of Such a Thing Arms is to a Soldier L (By La Voyageuse.) Paris. Jan. A bargain sale in a j larj;e Krone h department store: Does j not that sound to the average woman as a ca'l to arms to the soldier? A the ralling sound of the clarion to tired t loops? Or as oh, any ! thing- but t'.ie average woman afore-1 said will understand what I mean. ! "Truly, sympathy does make thej whole world kin, and equally a department store sale," which has leeii well advertised in advance, will bring forth the weaker sex by battalions as quickly in Paris as in New York. Chicago. Boston, San Francisco. Philadelphia or in any other city in Hud's country. But wait! There is a difference: also, "there's a reason." Shopping in the Paris tdicps reminds one of the adage, "far oil fields are always green." and equally many American women delude themselves with the idea that in Paris chopping may be louiid in its most attractive form: but that is where they are mistaken, as experience later will prove. Of course, the shops are the most luring features of the American j woman's visit to the Krench metropolis, but the first visit is likely to disenchant them. Not that the shops themselves are not in size immense, many of them. They are, and besides, they contain articles of the very finest character, while the prices are in some cases, more reasonable than in the United States. But the Krench methods of doing business at once strike the American female shopper as far inferior to the way things are done on the other side of the Atlantic. Assuming that the American woman shopper speak? French fairly well, she starts out to visit the large department or other stores with little idea of the fatigue and worry ahead of her. To begin with, the business methods will at once strike her as so entirely different to what she has been accustomed to at home that she will be puzzled and uncertain as to just what to do and to do it, unless accompanied by some one who "knows the ropes." The manner of handling purchases made by customers here is unheard of in the United States. For instance, you buy a yard of veiling. You then meekly follow he sale woman to a desk where she hands the article purchased to a cash girl or calls off "Une ligne" in metre de voilette, doux francs quatre-fingt cing centimes. which means, "One line, a yard of veiling at sixty-five cents." Then she disappears to do up your package. Being quick-eyed, on her return she usually picks out her customer from among the crowd, but if the package has been handed to a cash girl, she, too. calls out the items of the sale and shouts out above the noise, "Whosp is this?" As will be seen, this is not easy shopping, even if one speaks French well; but with that advantage lacking well, it's rather hard work shopping in France. Making all allowance for their vastness, the excellent goods the better houses undoubtedly carry, and the varied stock from which one may choose. Paris shops are not all one's fancy paints them. If you intend and wish to save brain fag, take advice from me and make your purchase at home. Many things are really as cheap, if not cheaper, taking it all in all, in the large shops in the big cities of the United States, except in a few special lines: for at l home you can get "just what you want," and when you want it. In other words, you can not beat the good old U. S. A. The two largest shops on the Boulevard ftausman are obliged to enlarge their premises about every six months. The Galeries Lafayette, which Is very convenient and well known to many American men shoppers, is so crowded for space that it has been obliged to buy a large pi-ce of ground dirfctly behind the present shop on which stands one of the best known landmarks of Paris the former residence of Mme. Recamier, who lived and exercised her influence over French kings, courtiers and others by reason of her beauty and charm of manner. This old building which brings to mind so many of the events which
