A Peculiar Case--A little Wait at
Police Headq uarters.
The merry prattle of child sounded
within the somber walls of the central
police station, and a sunny-haired, blue
eyed little creature ran from one Office to
another, shouting in childish glee. it tried
to tear off the shining stars upon the coats
| of the men. Now and then a tear would
roll down the little ones cheek and its face
| would for moment be darkened with a
frown. The history of the babyis shroude
in mystery, and the little wait may never
know mothers loving care or a fathers
gentle fun. Some two weeks ago an ad-
| vertisement appeared in morning paper
Offering for adoption healthy two-vear-old
| girl. For several days the notice appeared.
Among those who answered the advertise
ment were Mr.. and Mrs. G. O. Duplessis.
| The woman having the child called on Mr..
DupleSSlS, on NicOllet avenue, last Tues
| day, bringing the infant with her. Mrs.
Duplessis was assured that the little stran-
ger was perfectly healthy in every respect,
and as bright as bright could be. Noticing
| slight trouble in one of the child's ears
| and asking what it was, Mr.. Duplessis was
| told that it was only the result of a cold
| and would soon pass away. The baby
was asleep at the time. and without a criti-
cal examination Mrs. Duplessis told the
woman, who gave her name as Charlotte
Bellsville or Truesdell, to leave the child
| until the next day, when if it was found to
be all right she would adopt it. The woman
did so. and in the evening Mrs. DupIessis
had physician examine the child. He
! found that the drum of the ear was totally
| destroyed, and that there were running
sores on other parts of the childs body.
Mrs. DupleSsis clothed the infant and
| took good care of it. expecting that the
mother would call the next day, as she had
promised to do. But she came not, and yes
terday morning Mrs. Duplessis took the
! baby to police headquarters. A strong eff
| fort will be made to find the mother, who
has so basely deserted her baby. She
claims to be half French and half Norwe-
gian, and told Mrs. DupleSsis she was a
widow. The baby's name is BeatriX Char
lott. 1t is a bright little one and certainly
deserves a better fate than to be consigned
to some asylum. The story in an evening
paper to the effect that its mother had only
left it with Mrs. Duplessis for a few mo-
mentS, saying she would return and get it,
is pronounced untrue by Mrs. Duplessis.
Capt. Peter McKiernan took the wait
home for the night, where his wife gave il
such attention as it demanded. To-day
| some disposition will be made of it. Mrs.
| Duplessis has quantity of clothing, which
she purchased for the baby, and this she

works rise against the sky last night. 1t
was one of the grandest displays ever seen
in this part of the world and it was wit
messed by many thousands of people. The
trains from st. Paul and Minneapolis were
all crowded, car after car in the
early evening emptying hundreds who
had come to see the storming of the fort,
as the finish of the Independence day cele-
bration. Every window and all the bal
comics and piazzas of the Hotel Lafayette
was black with people, and on the grounds
about the hotel and scattered along the
shore. at the best points of observation,
were thousands more. The fort had
been erected at some distance out
in the lake and it was besieged by count
less volIeys of rockets, candles and all
many of spark emitting devices, while the
heavy reverberations from giant mine eX-
plOsionS added to the reality of the repre-
sentation. Words cannot well picture the
effect of the blazing powder, the Kissing of the
jockets and the constant cannonoding were
such as to remind more than one old sold
der who witnessed them of a regular bat
tie. AS display of pyrotechnics the bonn
bardment of the fort was a complete success
The trains were all loaded on tnzir return
trip. In the narure of things there was

Mrs. Langtry,s French.

Mrs. Langtry is hardly well advised to
transfer the performances of Monday after
noon to the regular bill for even day OF
two. for they call for charity from the audi
ence as well as ON the part of the perform
ers, and this charity an audience paying for
private profit can hardly be expected to
show. M. Febvre is an admirable comedian,
and the fact that he was playing in his own
tongue must be held to excuse somewhat
the painful contrast between his finished
acting and Mrs. Langtry's crude efforts.
But 1t may be well asked whether.e even for
so excellent purpose, Mrs. Langtry should
have risked comparison. Beside him she
was hardly up to the level of good amateur
acting = self-conscious and awkward
throughout. Even her French is distinctly
of the boarding-school order. The difficulty
