with his wife and mother in-law on the
top floor of the tenement house ir
Thompson Street, just below Spring
A very unusual event was reported from
MIR. COllins's room yesterday, and max
ing an inquiry concerning it, the re-
porter asked Mrs. Collins mother
Have you any objections to showing
me the baby'"
"Lord, sir, no. Walk right in" A.
she said this Mrs. KONG, the grand.
mother of the baby, moved her rocking
chair around little and began to unroll
a large bundle of cotton-batting which
she held in her lap.
81 hope there is no DANGER" said
the World reporter. evil it break ?''
This was natural question, but no
body saw fit to answer it; and while the
grandmother rocked herself and nimbly
unrolled the cotton-batting, the reporter
glanced over the apartment. 1t was not
much to glance over. Three-quarters
of it was taken up by bed, in which lay
Mrs. Collins, 3 plump, pretty black
eyed woman of five-and-twenty, who
giggled and said she didn't know how
it came to be "such little one."
SHOW much does it weight" inquired
the reporter, as the grandmother con-
tinued rapidly unrolling the cotton-bat-
ting.
Zone pound and ten ounces, sir; and
she is just IS inches long when we pull
her out straight"
The grandmother tirelessly rocked
and unrolled. The reporter never sus-
pected that the cottOn-batting had a
baby at the core, and his next question
was: "Where is it?"
"In here" said the grandmother.
"Dear me-" said the reporter; 81
didn't know it was dead"
I" It isn't" said the laconic grand
mother.
The reporter was ashamed of himself,
and asked: /" What color is it?'
"Red," said the grandmother. "Look
for yourself"
The midget lay unrolled. No wonder
it was red. The centripetal force pro-
voked in it by the nimble grandmother
must have sent its comprehensive blood
whirling to the surface. Itlooked like
the stunted offspring of q Liliputian. Its
head was about the size of q hens egg
and covered with q thick crop of black
hair. As her grandmother had said, the
baby was all red. She was attired in
bib, which exposed her legs and arms
and neck, all of q size, and about as
large around as the drumstick of tur-
key after dinner. Still the little Collins
had strength to curl her toes and to put
up her arms above her head, though she
could not open her eyes. The reporter
laid q finger ON the child and found the
skin of normal temperature. When he
had done looking the grandmother roll
ed her up again, and perhaps she is no
longer alive.

when it is hungry. The doctor thinks
he can bring it up. It is five months
and eighteen days child, and is the first
Mrs. Collins has ever had. The mother
is an American of German descent, and
the father is an Irishman. Mrs. Collins
is doing well-as could be expected,

A PANEL painting by Fortuny, "The
Council House in Granada, I" valued at
$15, 600, was placed in the exhibition of
the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts
by its owner, Henry C. Gibson. At the
close of the show this and other pictures
were returned to him. He discovered at
once that his Fortuny had been replaced
by clumsy copy. A search for the
picture and the thief, long and thor
ough, has resulted in the discovery of
both. The thief is Louis Dupont, q
French artist, who is charitably called q
kleptomaniac. The clew to his detec-
ton was his strangely intense admira-
ton of the picture, which has been re-
covered.

AUSTIN will soon have another grist
mill. and Its location will be on Barton
creek, near the big spring, Just above
Paggi's mill. Work or q dam and
race has already commenced, and it Is
probable the mill vii, be grinding by
the middle Of September. How things
have changed in the past two years.
When the Bonner mill, which was con-
sumea by fire two years ago, was run :
ming, wheat had to be brought from
Northera Texas, for none was grown
here then worth speaking about. and
consequently the enterprise did not
pay. for merchants found it better to
buy -four where the wheat was grown
rather than to buy -four manufactured
here out OF wheat brought FROM the
same place. Now, this action has be-
come q wheat country, In the short
space of two years. and money Invested
in graf mills proves profitable.
Every county should have from
three 20 . dozen mills, and the people
should patronize them instead OF buy
ing four brought from distant States
and sections.

PoRK PACKING IN AUsSIN.-Parties
IN St. Louis have been making in
quiries in regard to the practicAbility
of establishing a pork packery at Aus
tin. j reply to letter OF inquiry
from pork packer in st. Louis, Col.
Stands, of this city. writes as follows:
have made inquiries 10 regard to
prices at which ice can be furnished in
large quantities in this city. The
Capital Ice Company manufactures ten
thousand pounds per day. rhey de
liver it at their factory in large lots A.
| IL cents per pound. The Austin
Ice Company will doubtless sell at
same rates. The Capital Ice Company
manufactures ice 10 blocks of 500
pounds, five to six inches thick. You
can doubtless contract with either or
! both of these companies for all the ice
you may require at one cent per
pound delivered at the fac
tory - possibly at less figures.

purchasing and driving cattle to the
Northwest Is about played out. Ship
meats are made by railroad cheaper
than they can afford to drive. Pork
will be cheap la Tezss this fall. The
corn crop in this, section viii be im-
mense, forty to fifty bushels to the acre
and all safely made. The season has
been unusually favorable all over the
State.
/ am Satisfied that a pork pGckery
here, commenced in small way, would
pay from the start, and could be in
creased very largely in few years.
There is no sense in our people ship
ping hogs to st. Louis and purchasing
almost all their bacon from the North
west. just as good packing can be
done here with Ice as in st. Louis and
cost Of transportation, commissions,
etc., will leave wide margin Of profit
after paying for ice. Hogs can be
purchased in this market at one TO two
cents per pound less than St. Louis
prices. whilst pork and bacon COM
mands an average in round lots from
