Glimpse at the Police Record of

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-In an article
on the subject of deserted infants to-
days Capital says: 1.-The police record
shows that during the year ended June
80, 1888, ninety-siX dead infants were
picked up within the boundary of the
city. Sixteen of these were white.
There were 81 in the first quarter of the
year, 81 in the second, II in the third
and 26 in the last. These figures do not
by any means measure the number of
infants murdered in Washington in
twelve months: The police say that
open lots or in back yards, and perhaps
the sewers swept away to the river more
than all that are reported. No effort
seems to be made to investigate these
murderS.''

cattle to the north side. Matt and
Tom Ryan and Frank Robertson, as.
sisted by half a dozen COW boys, were
doing the job up fine and the ferrisge
was being carried on with nestness

that a bunch Of 35 long horned Texans
seemed anxious 10 take the water and
swim the raging Yellowstone. Act
ing upon his i'll advised suggestion the
bunch was hszed into the river and we
all helped 10 scare them off. The
critters began milling and an old roam
with horns longer than the law al.
lows-sharply pointed too-made a
straight shoot for the near shore and
the hazers. being on foot, made double
quick time over the fence and into the
corral. The old roam was followed by
ehe bunch and In less tue than il
