A Baby Who DID Not Approve of the
Change OF Administration.

From a Washln0t0n 6pecldI.
The President had large number Of
callers to-day, though he managed to see
them all and still ind time to come down
to the East Room in the afternoon and
hold a reception, where about leo ladies
and gentlemen paid their respects. While
they were waiting for the President to
come down there was considerable fun
furnished by an infant, who, despite the
pleading of its young mother, aided by
the skill Of nurse, kept up such con-
slant bawling that the mother and nurse
finally had to take the little one away.
At least dozen of the ladies in the East
Room endeavored 70 quiet the babe, but
they failed. As the mother was going ont
of the White House she remarked: 'My
baby is probably Republican and can
not stand the change Of things here.v

The Editors Trial

LoNDoN, October 2S.-The trial of the
Armstrong abduction case was resumed
at the Central Criminal Court. The
testimony for the prosecution being all
in, the Attorney General announced his
side of the case was closed. Charles
Russell, counsel for the defense, then
addressed the court in behalf of the
prisoners. He indicated the sublime
motives of Mrs. Jarrett, when she took
the girl from her mother for Mr.. Stead,
and claimed that the absence of the con-
sent of the father did not make the act
a crime, if the mothers consent had
been given without misrepresentation
or fraud.
Stead then addressed the jury in be-
half of himself and the other defend.
ants. His argument was on the basis
that the end justified the means. The
court then adjourned.
