Hood’ s Sarsaparilla Famous Statue Again on Barney Lawn ASHINGTON.—“ Natalie," the fam ous Darner statue, baa 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 Natalie Clifford Barney by her sister, Miss Laura, again stands on the lawn of Studio House, the palatial resi dence of Mrs. Alice Clifford Barney- Hemmlck. No vandal eye, however, will be per mitted to gaze upon the undraped loveliness of the statue which set all Washington talking last fall. The caretaker of the Barney-Hemmlck borne 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 W 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the caretaker erected last year between the lawn and the street, where thousands gath ered to gaze on the statue, has been replaced by a high concrete wall, pen etrated only by a gateway.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- five years her Junior) has 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 statue 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.

There no longer remains any doubt as to the manner 4n which the United States battleship was sunk In Havana harbor on Feb ruary 16, 1898. The double bottom of the ship has 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- sod gave before the Investigating board after the disaster and which 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 lowest, or platform, deck Is an up- T Get It today In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called S a rsa ta b s.

TIP SHE SUFFERED FIVE YEARS 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 Klnkaid 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 Hinkle, he learned that she had purchased a baby for 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 i brought out In the testimony that Rose and the Hinkle woman had been en gaged to marry, but that the union was opposed by the young man’s fam ily. The woman admitted when question ed that she and Rose had schemed to gether to outwit his parents by buying the baby then declaring to his father and mother that the child was their own. Explaining the Infant’s death, she says It sickened suddenly, and she did not know what to do with It. When she found It dead In the morn ing, she says she walked the streets for hours carrying the body, and final ly abandoned It in an alley. & B IS O ’S Your Liver Needs Assistance TR Y HOSTETTERS STOMACH BITTERS It has a toning and invigorating effect on the liver, stomach and bowels.
