A nov BABY Lets ~ the Resideacg Of
Tslana Citizen.

A Bov Baby LETS ~ the Resideneg Of an
TsIand Citizen.
Saturday evening between ten O'Clock
and half past numerous citizens living along
The east side of North Ftent street, lslssd,
heard the wailing of snail child, borre
along the sidewalk norIsward BY the taller
OF two girls. Beyond remark or two by
ladies that it was q late hour Sor so young
citizen to be abroad nothing wss thought OF
the matter until yesterday morning, when
the rumor spread that o waif had been found
beneath the piazza roof oil the residence OF
Mr.. C. Z. Berger, No. $50 Moth Front
street, and had been tenderly cared for.
A reporter called at the residence 5sst
evening and saw the child, and learned the
following facts about its sbsndonmens:
About half past ten o'clock q slight noise
was heard al the front door, and immediate
afterWard the crying of child. Mr..
Berger at once went to the door, and dis.
covered the babe carefully wrapped up,
hood upon its head and bottle of milk be-
ide il. 1t was taken inside where the fcE
lowing note was discovered pinned upon It's
lothing:
Glide
and pray see that my
baby GETS home and
Is taken care OF as
/ had no hometo
keep him and l hops-
that God viii
forgive
me-"
0ntAe reverse side was:
"Its Birthplace is
him Grove"
The note was written upon the upper
right hand corner OF a sheet of letter paper,
in pencil, and had evidently been written in
q dim light upon the knee of person, as
the words were almost illegible. The child
is apparently about two months old, and is
a fine boy. A home will probably be found
for it somewhere in the city, as it is too
young to be admitted to the CAildren's
Home.
A lady living further down the street said
last evening that she was satisfied the girl
would have left the child at her house but
that the sudden opening of the frcnt door
frightened the girls away.

That $50 Gold Piece.
The reported finding Of $40 gold piect
by Mr.. Newt Sylvis, on Decoration Day
turns out to have been a regular "sell. anc
has afforded good deal of amusement tc
friends of the two gentlemen named in con
nection with the matter,
Fell Overheard.
One of the hands on the Diurnsl fell of
the boat into the river on Saturday night a:
she was passing Bellaire and narrowly es
capped drowning. He fosted down some
distance when he was rescued by seVera
men in q skiff. The officers of the boat die
not know they had lost q man until the
arrival here and received telephone mes
sage to that effect.
Sudden Disappearance.
Last Saturday, Mrs John Cochran OF the
East End, sen: her little girl to q store tc
pay a debt with FIVE dollar bill. While
the child was waiting to receive attention
she laid the note on the counter in front o.
her, and it suddenly disappeared. A boy
and girl were standing on either side of her
but she did not see who took it.
Yesterdays Excursion.
A large crowd came down from above on
the steamer Diurnsl yesterday morning
some Of them landing here while the res
continued to Moundsville. The boat re
turned about $50 and took those on who
had stopped off here. 1t was like ali Sunday
excursions. 1t was reported that a fgh
occurred on board, but if it did, the facts
we're kept quiet. The excursion was under
the auspices of the Steubenville Turnverier
and the committee certainly did all in it
power to keep quiet the few rowdies whC
always work into such excursions.

LONDON, July pa dispatch from Cairo
states that large body of rebels a few
night ago made vigorous attack on kas-
sala and attempted to take it by storm.
They attacked the place at three points but
the garrison poured into their columns
destructive fire and succeeded in
repul,ing them at every point, The gar
rison then sailed forth and pressed the re-
treating enemy so closely that they fled
precipitately, leaving behind them 1000
oxen and sheep, 200 rifles and a large
quantity of ammunition. The rebels lost
fully 1909 in killed and wounded The
casualties to the garrison were small
A dispatch from Alexandra says: HuS sien
Pasha, the former governor Of Berbel, who
was present near khartoum at the time Gen
Gordon was killed has arrived here as
special commissioner from the mahdi to the
khedive. This was the only way he could
return to Egypt lie says there is no truth
in the report of the mahdi's death. He
also says that the idea of Gordon having
escaped from khartoum is preposterous.
He says the mahdi wishes no union with the
khedive but dreams of universal conquest.
Hussein Pasha says that the SoudaneSe are
brave, but prefer their native weapons to
firearms, He is the object of special atten-
tion in Alexandria He has frequent inter
views with the khediVe, and is a guest i'll the
house OF Osman Pasha, governor Of Alex
aniria.

A Soft Place That Is Hard the Irish.
LONDON, July - In his speech in Hyde
park London, July ,, Michael Dayitt gave
a sample Of the manner in which Eng
lands agents in Ireland extort money
from the Irish people. The lord chan
cellor of Ireland, as Mr.. Dsvitt men-
toned, has salary of 5000 pounds sterling
lS40, ,00j) year. Whenever there is a
change of government in England the lord
chancellor Of Ireland goes out of Office and
carries with him, no matter how
short time he may have held
the office, a title to pension for
life of 1000 pounds sterling $50 900 a
year. a few months ago Lord Chancellor
Sullivan died Attorney General Mash
was appointed TO succeed him. Naish held
the office for five weeks when GladStone'S
government was thrown out The Tories
then came into power and Mr.. Glib
son, Tory lawyer, was made Lord
Chancellor Mr.. Naish retiring with
pension of $50, 900 year for life. A very
handsome remuneration this for thirty five
days work. Davitt in commenting on the
system figured out nearly Sl,0O000O
that would be paid by the Irish people in
tbs wav in twenty -four years.

The king has en- army composed exclusively

SEN TOR BAY4RD IND THE CABI-


The uuauimity with which St. Louis Post
Dispatch correspondents place Sc nator
BAYARD as Secretary Of State in the Prize
Cabinet is only reflex Of the universal de-
sire among western Democrats to see him in
that position. The desire Is not confined to
the West, nor can il be said to be strictly
confined TO Democrats, for there is no pa
triotic citizen in America, OF whatever creed
or party, but would feel that the country WAS
honored in having such a man hold the post
Of distinction In the new administration.
Whether Mr.. BAYARn is rendered the place,
or not, or whether he declines it if rendered
him, still be has just cause to be proud Of the
universal tribute paid to bis worth aud fitness
by his countrymen. There is DO American
in public life to-day who holds higher place
IN the esteem aud confidence Of the people
than THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD. Possessing the
highest qualities Of statesmanship, a public
record without stain, Il private life blameless
aud as pure as the hakeu snow, he presents all
the elements Of the highest type Of manhood.
