men cannot adopt babies VIVA. with
pew.rent. and contributions to foreign
missions. some young men have
enough to do to sustain themselves,
let alone babies belonging TO other
persons.
There is but one way to escape SO
awkward a predicament Let no young
man. however good a nurse. however
expert goo-gooer and hootchy-koot-
CHER. ever take baby unless the
doors and windows have been barred.
and there is no way for the supposed
mother to escape.
1t the commonist thing i'm the
world for the unnatural female to
pick OuL a good-looking young man in
a railway station and say to him: 20
Sir would you kindly hold my baby
while go and look for his father and
little johnny" The average good
hearted young man will accept such a
charge. Moreover. 1t makes him look
interesting in the eyes of the girls Is
there prettier picture than hand

babyp He may hold it in direct opposi-
ton to natures laws. He may even
dandle 1t cross-ways, or upside down,

500 week and board to a young man
to have attention directed to him in
this manner. But when the young
man hears the conductor of his train
call out "All aboard and there is no
mother near TO ''take baby" what can
he feel but tendency TO commit hara-
kira?
Young men cannot be too careful
how they handle babies. even ba bies
belonging to near and dear relatives.
1t is terrible thought for young
man TO carry to his grave that he has
let the baby of personal friend fall.
Should that child die at a future per-
iod OF humps. or whooping- cough or
any other infantile disease. the mother
is almost certain TO attribute its taking
off to that ''horrid young man. !"
Then should the infant swallow the
young mans watch-key or the head
of his cane, or his collar button. or
ANYTHING of that kind. can he ever for
give himself? Babies have lived with
watch-keys and cane heads and col
lar buttons in their little insides-but
not many. That story about Il baby

READING, Pa, October 7.-Over 100 people
injured is the record of an accident which took
place at 80 o'clock this afternoon during the
ceremonies attending the laying of the corner
stone Of the new ST. Mary's Polish Catholic
church, in this city. Previous to the corner
stone laying, there was street parade partici-
pated i'll byall tho Catholic societies of the
city, Knight of st. John of Lancaster, and all
visitors from Wilmington, Delaware, Lebanon,
Shenandon and other places. Probably seven
thousand people gathered at the site of the
church this afternoon TO witness the ceremo-
MOS, about one thousand Of whom were
crowded on o temporary floor laid on the joist
and walls of the ediice, which had been car
ried up one story.
Archbishop Ryan, Of Philadelphia, arrived
this morning and personally conducted tho
ceremonies assisted by the priests of the three
Catholic churches here. After the corner
stone had been laid, Father Libichi, pastor of
scarcely commenced his remarks when the
newly-constructed walls gave way and one
fourth of tho floor fell with an awful crash pre-
cipitating 200 people to the ground, distance
of from fifteen to nineteen feet. Men, women
and children were thrown into confused
mass, with joist, bricks, stone and mortar on
top Of them. The excitement was intense,
but willing hands at once commenced the work
of extr!cating the unfortunates, many of whom
had to be carried ont and placed in neighbor-
ing houses, where their injuries were attended
to, and they were then removed to their homes
or to the hospital. 1t was fully two hours be-
fore the wounded were all cared for. i is said
that several children are still missing.

A SHOT IN THE DARK.
A TRAGEDY IN IN ANNTSTON BAG
MO.

ADMISSION, Ala, October 7.--[special]-
About half-past 10 o'clock Friday
night, j. A. Woof, merchant of Cross
Plains, who was a prominent candi-
date for sheriff at the August cleo
ton, was shot and instantly killed in the house
OF Matte Cox (colored, who lives in the rear
OF the Foster building with another woman,
on Glenn Ade street. Lights were out in the
house when the police arrived. They were at
traeted by the report of the pistol, and found
Woolf undressed sitting on trunk at the foot
OF the bed, grooming as if in pain, but he never
spoke. Besides Woolf in the room, there were
present the two colored women and Jarrett
kernan,an ex-policeman of this city and broth
er-in-law of Woolf. An examination showed
that he was shot through the left breast
just above the heart, causing instant death.
The woman claimed that Herman did tho
shooting, and he stated it was done by Matte
Cox.
The following is the verdict;
We, the jury empaneled in the case of the ex-
animation Off. A. Woaf find that he came to his
death by pistol ball fred from the hands of O. w
Herman while recklessly shooting in the dark.
Woolf is young man about thirty-fve
years of age, highly connected and leaves q
wife but no children.
Herman made the following statement to n
Hot Blast reporter at o'clock this a. M in
cell in the city prison;
II want the public to know that didn't kill

myself than to have seen him killed. We
went to Sam Joness lecture and afterwards
WooH started home, but changed his mind,
and asked me to go with him to the house,
where We went We got there about IL o clock.
There were two negro women in the room
Mattie Cox and another Woof undressed
and blew out the Light. This made Matte
Cox mad, and she lit the lamp again. Woolf
blew it out again. was on bed not I'M
dressed. lying on my right side. ! had pistol
in my outside pocket. When tho light was
blown out the second time, somebody, L don t
know who. jerlSed my pistol out of my pocket
and heard it go off. opened the door and
called for the police. Matte Cox ran out of
the house. When the police came they struck
a light and I saw that ALI was shot dead Ho
never spoke after the shot was fred, but Just
groaned.
When the police made search for the pistol
with which the shooting was done it could not
be found but at later hour was found under
the store Of Il. 3. Perkins, about thirty feet
off, 1t was 3S-calibro Smith s. Wesson, with
one barrel discharged.
The two women are also locked up ana will
be held for further investigation. Both Wooif
and Herman had been drinking when they en-
tered the house where the unfortunate tragedy
occurred.

A RRIrTAL TYRANT.
How President Barrios Treated His Poo
pie.

Costa RIGA Letter.
Tho late President Barrlos Of Guatemala,
who is said to have made the best ruler his
state evor had, was fair specimen Of the cen
trail American executive. His ways OF enforc-
ing allegiance were as cruel as effective; he
ruled by no law but his own WILL and the peo-
ple--haying borne the might Of tyranny for
nearly half n century rendered the most abb
ieet obedience.
A case in point is that OF Senior Guzman.
merchant OF Inezaltenango who had served as
q colonel under Macmillan, IN Mexico, and
had subsequently dabbled little in politics,
but never extensively. This merchant was one
day walking on the highway, in tho regular
course of his business, when he CHANGED to
meet President Barrlos, riding in his carriage.
The two gentlemen saluted one another with
politeneSs, and each passed on his way An
hour later Guzman was arrested, by order OF
tho president, and thrown into prison, and un-

two years aftGrWardG) though he had had no
trial, and no charges had ever been preferred
against him, and he, himself was entirely ig-
n0rant Of the nature Of his offense--he was
stiil incarcerated, and had been made to suffer
the most atrocious treatment, chain Was
riyeted TO his leg, which had actually worn
into the flesh, and, at Barro5s command more
than 900 lashes had been administered TO
him from time to time.
An American gentleman who has spent
much time in Guatemala tells mo that when
Barrios had any motive for repriinanding
citizen, whether an editor. IN official or a pri-
vate individual, Whatever his political or social
station, he summoned tho offendeFt0 his Office;
then, after stating in the presence OF his aides
de-camp the cause or protext Of complaint he
would address tho most insulting words to the
victim Of his displeasure, and cut linn across
the face with a raWhide that was always at
hand If the man resisted tho aides-de-camp
pitched in also, and it frequently happened
that the unfortunate fellow was nearly killed
by the heavy kicks and blows he received and

face the marks Of shame and IN his heart tho
