Something Wrong When the Baby Cries.


Sister Irene, who has charge Of the New York
infant asylum and who raises an average of .
thousand foundlings every year, will not toler-
ate bad baby. Something is wrong when Q
baby cries. The nurse is directed to examine
the clothing and if the cause is not found doc
tor Is summoned II on examination the little
one is pronounced In good health and the howl
ing still continues baby is sent to the reform
atory, where he is put on his back in q crib
like room and left alone until his temper i'm
proves. 1t is only the new babies who cry, but
the peace of the house is never sacrificed.
Meal, bath and bed time are observed to
the minute, and every child is trained to
sleep all night long and part of the day.
Promiscuous feeding is not permitted at
any time in the child's life and before child
culture comes the physical condition of the
nurse in charge. You can't make Sister Irene
or any of her assistants believe that strong
coffee or tea is good material to nurse a young
child on The result must be some form of
nervous trouble. No child is allowed to eat
solid animal food until he has twenty teeth
and then in almost infinitesimal portions and
but once a day. The child's food is never al
lowed TO be cooled by blowing the breath upon
it, as disease is too frequently communicated
it is thought in this way. As all the children
have to be disposed of in some way before the
age of seven a close study is made of beauty
in order to tempt foster parents. The hair Of
the girl babies is never cut, lashes and lids are
carefully trimmed, ''hang mouths" are coaxed
to grow together by means Of a support for the
chin, and noses that are inclined to turn up are
gently persuaded not 20. Heads are not
smothered in sleeping; nurses are directed
TO turn their faces away not TO breathe
into the nostrils of their charges. and such
Irregularities rs snoring and thumb sucking
are corrected There lie not a rocker either or
n crib or chair in the whole asylum, and pill
lows are not thought heslthful for tender
shoulders 20 round upon.

A Bear Hunters CHALLENGE.

Andrew Houston, prominent ranchero of
the Upper Platte valley, Wyoming, has issued
an odd challenge to the betting fraternity of
the universe. He will wager his place and
stock against $4,000 that in any stated hunting
season within three years he will. unaided,
kill fifty grizzly bears in the Elk Mountain and
Medicine Bow ranges. Houston has always
been a mighty hunter. but has lately sprung
some bear-slaying yarns which were doubted,
hence his offer to lay this big wager. He has
caused copies of the challenge to be posted in
the rooms of several London clubs

Opinions on English Affairs.

Sir Lyon Playfair, the English ex-cabinet
minister, is a. the Windsor Hotel, New York.
70 Tribune reporter ne said: ssThis is the
twelfth year that have visited America, and
the country always has renewed charms for me-
My visit here is purely If holiday character
and although shall travel about the country
good deal during my stay, my headquarters
will be in Nahant, Mass, where we are going
in search OF n little rest. Speaking as a Glad
stonlan, am OF the opinion that the conserva-
tive government Is losing ground every day.
All the indications point to a great triumph for
Mr.. Gladstone at the next general election. II
is undenlable that Lord Sallsbury's admins
tratlon is weakening with the hours OF all
the big list OF measures mentioned in the
queens speech at the beginning Of the session
they have passed not one. When they came
into power in 1886 they were able to reckon on
q majority of 100. Now they cannot reckon on a
majority of more than so. They have actually so
majority, but cannot rely on many of their men
to vote. Alone they have no working majority
at all, and are kept in power solely by the sup
port OF the liberal unionists. When the dis
solution comes the liberal unionists will as a
party be completely destroyed. Nearly all the
reflections have lately gone in Mr.. Gladstone's
favor, and his victories have been most de-
cisive in the large constituencies, where the
party has won many seats or increased its for
mer majorities. This is especially the case in
regard to London. which, always rigidlv con-
servative, has OF late shown q startling change
of opinion and given us many members. That
the great body Of the English voters have been
won over to the cause OF home rule there can
be no shadow of doubt. Governments in Eng
land, however strong. seldom last longer than
five years. BY that time the ministers have got
tired of office and the people have got tired of the
ministers, and everybody welcomes a change.
1t is likely that the present administration will
make determined effort to pass their free
education and land purchase for Ireland bills,
and 60 to the country on these measures"

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Chicago Cable Cars Wrecked in Tun-
mel Under the River.

Almost horror occurred in the tunnel under
the river at Washington street. Chicago, yes
terday morning. The West Side cable trans
run through it. One train got stalled in the
middle OF tho tunnel. Another followed it. A
third following that became unmanageablc Oh
the down grade toward the center, ran upon
the second train, which in turn ran into the
first and a general smash, in which tho thre
trains were involved, was the result. The cars
OF both the middle and the front trains were
badly wrecked and. while no one was seriously
hurt, the passengers were badly shaken mp.
For few moments there we're scenes OF the
widest panic imaginable. Some women
screamed and tainted, while others jumped off
the cars, dragging their children with them
and precipitating themselves upon the dimly
lighted tracks on which the west-bound cars
run. Order, however, was finally restored and
traffic resumed. Frank Metzger, an express
agent of st. Paul. was crushed to death. This
was the last Of four accidents that occurred on
theYerkes system during the day and the council
is to be appealed to TO pass such restrictions as
will insure safety on the line or tie up the
system until its running arrangem ents are per-
fected,

Philipsen, Who WrOngfully Was Ar
rested for Murder, Wants $4,000.

Yesterday afternoon papers in a civil suit for
s2O, 900 damages by Alexander Ludwig Philip
sen, the Dane who was detained and placed
under arrest at the New York barge Office on
suspicion Of being the murderer of Meyer, were
served on Gen. O'Beirne and Superintendent
Of the Landing Bureau Simpson for false i'm
prisonment Hayman, Marx Rosenthal of
2S4 Broadway, Philipsen's lawyers, base their
case on the ground that Philipsen had passed
through the barge Office and for some time had
been beyond the jurisdiction of the federal
law when Simpson told him that Gen. o Beirne
wanted to see him. Philipsen showed his pass
port and certificate of birth to Gen. O'Beirne.
but he was arrested, nevertheless, and detained
