Did one ever notice how much diff
ference brIght-eyed, ldiotic looking
little baby will make In a street car?
On yesterday afternoon when Times
reporter stepped into West Madison
street car, he discovered that the sole
occupants of the car beside himself
were little happy looking woman
with two months old. baby ON her
lap, and proud looking father next
10 her. The baby was one Of those
red-faced infants whose cheeks are 50

are big aud blue, anu staring. Little
chubby hands, with deep dlmpies
down their backs, and restless little
legs that would kick away the dress
aud expose the fat sturdy littie lega,
with their blue souked feet. The car
had not gone far before II stopped for

but, discovering the baby, moved ID
next to II and its mother, and began

"A pretty young lady IN d light ulster

beside the little girl. She, too,
spled the baby, and when Il twisted
about and stuck Its little fist out at
her she gave II finger 10 hold, and
reached over and kissed II. A little
further along cross looking, hooked
noaed, sharp featured old man thrust
himself into the car, and planted
himself In the first corner he came to.
He glanced about the car with an
expression that Indicated hatred OF
all mankind, and then settled back
Into the corner, determined to let no
one say word 10 him nor to give any
one pleasant look. Suddenly the
baby caught sight OF his carroty
beard, and making desperate lurch,
almost threw i1self out Of it, mothers

time came for the mother and her

BnlbQ, q young Italian of The lower
class, u under sentence of denth IN
New York city. The crime Of which
he has been duly convicted, was, we
believe committed last year. The
victim Of II was his wife a pretty
woman Of his own age and nationality
10 whom he had not long been mar
rsed, and who, fin some way, had
aroused hls Jealousy Or disturbed his
naturally fiery temper. He thrust a
stiietto into her heart, locked the
door aud dnrkened the windows OF the
room, aud fiod 30 piltsburg, where be
was subsequently arrested. There Is
not, 50 far ~ we are aware, single
redeeming feature III the case, but as
soon as the tiger was caught and
Gagged he became cat, or rather the
most gentle and innocent Of kittens.
His youthful appearance, good looks,
aud apparently childlike simplicity,
have enabled him 10 play this part 70
perfection. He had his cell fitted up
as an ofatory; holy limoges stood
upon the little altar, where holy can
dies burned and holy flowers distilled
their frhgrauce. He said his prayers
with saint-llke regularity, and his
spiritual advisers have been delighted
by an example OF piety which they
could not hope 10 excel. He received
many visitors, mostly Of the female
and these fair sympa-
Ihisers consolcd him by their smiles
