CHECKING BABIES.
John Rogers Story OF the Theatris'

John Rogers Story OF the Theatre
cal Nursery at indianapolis.
The other day, says n writer in tie
New York World, ] met John X
Rogers, theatrical manager. He says
that at Park theater in indianapolis
there is a large room filled with toys
of every conceivable variety and size.
1t is in charge of several nurses, who
are supposed to be adopts in the art Of
keeping children quiet, and their
mission is TO receive and entertain for
the afternoon the infants of persons at
tending the matnees. A baby check
is given in every instance TO the mothz
er OF guardian, numbered so as to
facilitate Identification after the per-
Torrance. During the play the babies
amuse thems6 YES with rattles, dolls,
balls, Noar's arks, and the thousand
and one things that are dear to the in

sent their checks and receive back
their property. just a5 they would a

out in stage whistler, "Fifty-eighti

Or perhaps the anxious whisper will

news that her darling has just destroy

parents enjoyment of the play.
Manager Rogers thus describes a
brief and pithy dialogue between a
nurse and fond mother, who finds
herself touched on the elbow by one of
the attendants in the middle of the per-
formance:

The Central American republics Of
Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and San Salvador have
failed ir their attempt to form fed
GRAFTON. Another movement in the
same direction, but which does not 60
so far, is now on foot, however. 1t is
proposed that these five nations, in
the future, settle all their disputes by
arbitration instead of war, and that
mons Of them shall form an alliance
with any outside power without the
consent of the other four. Nothing
except the ambition or stupidity of
the authorities of these toy nationali-
ties, it would seem, would prevent this
scheme from succeeding. Ultimately
though, federation among themselves
or annexation to the Mexican republic
will probably be the fate of the Cen
Sral American countries.

Mrs. Russell b. Harrison, the
daughter-in-l law of the President and
his wife, will most likely become the
eader of the younger presidential Get
in Washington, n task for which she
is eminently fitted, as she certainly is
a very graceful young lady.
She has been married few years to
the only son of the President, and is
the daughter of Senator Saunders OF
Nebraska, who under Lincoln was
governor of that state. After mar
riage she spent great deal OF her
time in Helena, Montana, where her
husband was at the head of a stock
farm. At the inaugural ball she was
very much admired, and for the bene-
fit of our lady readers, we will give

The governor of Idaho has issued
proclamation, calling a constitution
nj convention, to meet at Boise City in
July. The only opposition to the
movement for statehood comes from
the Mormons, who have a wholesome
dread of local legislation. In Utah,
where they hold the balance of power,
statehood would be blessing to the
''divine institution" but in Idaho they
are in HOPELESS minority, and could
not shape legislation to suit their
plural ideas. The movement, how
ever, meets the approval of all pro-
gressive classes, and will make itself
felt at the next congress.
