HERE'S A PRETTY MEsSl

What the Strife Over Robert Garrett's Bsy
Window In Baltimore 10 Likely to Result
In - A Millionalre's Revenge - 1t Comes
High, But He Must Have 1t.
BALTIMORE, Md, December 4.--.The
bitter enmity which arose some months
ago between Robert Garrett, President of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and Mr..
Henry James, in regard to the portico
which Mr.. Garrett has put on the front of
of his new house adjoining the Jones
mansion, OH Mt. Vernon Place, has
assumed decidedly interesting phase.
Mr.. James last summer applied for an in
junction against the completion of the
portico, and gained his case. Then Mr..
Garrett took 1t to the Court of Appeals,
where it now Is. During the past
twenty-four hours the residents
within the precincts of Mt. Vernon
Place, sacred to society and the famous
group of Barge statues, have been terror
stricken over report that Mr.. James had
said that In case the Court OF Appeals
decided against him he would give his
house and grounds next door to Mr.. Gar
rett's to colored orphan asylum. The
property is worth about $l6a,000, but as
Mr.. James Is millionaire, and the part
ner of Mr.. Enoch Pratt, who recently
gave the city over million for free cir
culating library, he win probably not suf
| fer from want through his generosity
| Of course the wealthy Mt. Vernon people
| are wild with anxiety, knowing that If Mr.
| James should desire to wreak such sum
mary vengeance on Mr.. Garrett thert
| would be no law to prevent him.

WHOSE CHILD IS iT7

A Problem Requiring More Than the Wis

of the smsll-Pox Epidemic In Montreal.
MONTREAL, CAM, December 4,--Dr
Laberge, Health Officer of this city, has
before him one of the most difficult prob
lens which it has ever been the lot Of
man to solve. A little girl, two years old,
was to have been discharged from the
smallpox hospital yesterday, but during
the afternoon two women called and each
being positive that the child was hers, the
nurses refused to give 1T to either. The
matter was referred to DR.. Laberse, who
went with the women last night to see the
child, which is very much disfgured, but
it was too young and had been too long
in the hospital to recognize Its mother
Both women produced proofs of the ma
riage and the birth of children and the doc
tor being thoroughly bewildered advised
to take action in the courts. This after
noon another woman has put in CLAIM
for the child. The confusion has resulted
from several children having beer burlet
without their parents having been noti
fed

Marriage has long been considered aa
more or less of lottery. 1t is like
lottery in more than the drawing.
Drawing Blank once only makes You
go into it again. The fact is, to lose
husband or draw one she has got
to get rid of is a reflection upon tha
woman and wounds her vanity. She
feels she must marry again just to show
it was not her fault, and she is much
ikelier to be happy in the second ven
ture The experience of the first helps
her to better understanding of the
second, and the unpleasantness of the
loss teaches her to yield very often
where her natural inclination would be
to kick. But there's one woman very
happy now, whose husband will proba-
bly, never know that he was brought up
to the scratch in a very simple but ef-
fective way.
