Romance OF e Baby Girl.

Especial to The HERAID-t;xamrner Dispatehl
TRENTON, n. j., Feb. IA beautiful girl
baby, fifteen months old, was found by
policeman early yesterday morning on the
doorstep of Mrs Conrad Hammin. Mrs.
HammiI refused to take the child into her
house, and the overseer of the poor de-
clined to receive it, but neighbor of Mrs.
Hammill volunteered to take temporary
charge of the wait The baby has a story
Its parents are rich, and it is said $50, COO
lies in the bank TO secure the child against
want. That it was left on doorstep was
due to misunderstanding or quarrel of
some kind.
The child's sir name is Hoffman, and her
mother, Mary Hoffman, lived either in
Amsterdam or Rochester, N. Y. Sheis the
daughter of rich hat manufacturer, and
was engaged to be married to the son of a
wealthy shirt manufacturer Her father
/ objected to the match, and if there was any
/ marriage ceremony, 1t was secretly per-
formed. The child was found by the
colored housekeeper in the house of fe
male doctor named Nj. L. Devessey. A
negro man took care OF it for a while, and
mill to adopt it, giving her q re-
lease that was drawn up by lawyer.
The adopted mother heard last week that
the father of Miss Hoffman, having
learned of the birth of the child, had de-
posted $50, 000 with trust company in
New York to be paid over to his grand
daughter when she should arrive at the
age of eighteen, but she was not to know
from whom the fortune came. A lawyer
of Trenton was employed to keep track of
the child and see that she was properly
brought up.
Another version was that the grand
father had died and the $4,000 trust fund
was created by his will. Fearing thai
in view of the child's wealth the release tc
her by the mother would not hold good
Mrs. Hammill took the baby to the female
house intending to demand new contract
DR.. Devessey was out of town and Mrs
: Hammill left the baby with the daughter
of the docteress, saying she would have
} nothing further to do with it. When Dr.
D Devessey returned home Tuesday nigh
f she was wroth at finding the baby there
S and engaging hack she took it at mid
/ night to Hammilrs door where she left it
. Mrs Hammill now has the child again
e She says shs does not want to part with
s out insisted that paper contract must b.
made.

How the Administration Views the Lottery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. News of the pas
sage by one branch of the North Dakota
legislature of bill chartering and legaliz-
ing lotteries, has attracted much attention
in official circles, in view especially of tele-
graphic advices that the action is in behalf
of a branch of the Louisiana lottery
against which the postoffice and department
of justice have been waging contest
many years. At the White House
it is intimated that reports have
reached the President that persons
who have been appointed to Office, or were
candidates for appointments, were promot-
lug this legislation, and it was added that
should this prove to be the case it is likely
to prove fatal to them. Further remarks
were to the effect that it was not believed
possible that the new state would adopt
measure that would put so idelible stain
upon its reputation. Postmaster General
Wanamaker said: ''As postmaster gen.
eral L cannot be interviewed upon
the subject only to express my regret that
the mails. which are materially the govern
ment's, should be used to any extent in
any part of the country for the further
ance of lottery schemes, but as Q citizen
am free TO say it is cause for great alarm
when new states propose to spread this
evil over new country and extend the
species of gambling that ruins the young
and deludes the ignorant for such
q few INSCRIPTIONS stockholders. If
this kind of legislation is to be success
Congress must be invoked to enact laws
to suppress this Ubiquitous business every
where.i
81 was astonished beyond measure, y
said Attorney General Miller this after
noon. 81 had hoped and believed that the
day of chartering lotteries had gone by
That the Louisiana state lottery, for in
stance, is a public evil, think is generally
conceded and / as little expected the legis
lature of North Dakota to sanction a lot
terry as that the legislature of Massachu
sets weuld legalize one in that colony"

MAYOR HAYNES AND HIS PICTURE.
He was not, Like Narcissus, in Love with Him
self, so he Kills the Image.

self, so he Kills the Image.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, Feb. Mayor Haynes, of
Newark, N. j., is evidently not man to be
trified with. He is well liked by the NUM-
cipal officers of Newark, and the common
council the other day ordered Artist Crane
to make crayon portrait worthy the chief
of the city. The portrait has been hung
among the likenesses of Haynes predeces-
sors in the city art gallery The artist
completed the work Wednesday and was
proud of it, He placed it in the gallery for
the aldermen to look at, and as they intend
to pass upon the artists bill tonight, all of
them went in body to see the portrait.
The members of the finance committee took
deep interest in the work. They looked at
the picture from distance and then went
close to it. In fact, one would think from
the way it was viewed and commented on
by the city fathers that they were some of
| the forty immortals." But 1t seems that
some of the aldermen doubted whether the
picture was true image of the mayor and
| INDUCED in jOcular remarks. A councilman
is reported to have remarked that it should
| have been sent to police headquarters. AL
derman Gaddes offered to produce peanut
peddler who could turn out better lob
without interfering with his regular occu-
patton of turning the peanut rooster crank.
To-day Mayor Haynes learned how his
name and his image had been used
as subject for jest, and when
he took up his official march to the city
hall there was blood in his eye. He went
to the executive chamber and ordered the
policeman to produce the portrait, which
| of{ b1- ii
cred around. s'Leave me alone,n the
mayor said, more in sorrow than in an
ger, and the spectators silently withdrew.
A moment later a terrible crash of broken
glass was heard Then more sounds as OF
stout paper rent by cyclone and of snap
ping wood, which followed each other in
rapid succession, and after a brief lul
three or four chairs appeared to take sud
den tumbles. Then all was quiet, save fol
what appeared to be either a tornado
crowding through the stovepipe OR great
man restraining his overcharged feelings
and reducing pressure by liberal signs.
When the door was opened and the spec
tators admitted the portrait occupied nearly
all of the executive chamber. There was
large cavity in the picture just below tn,
fifth rib, the eyes were damaged, the arm:
snapped off and remnants were scattered
, all around Even the beautiful frame hat
: been reduced to kindling wood. ''Remov
l it to the store room,' commanded tn,
mayor, and the late portrait was swep
. into a basket and removed. Up to lat
= hour the alderman had not learned, il
= words, what Mayor Haynes thinks of tn
= portrait, but the committee expects to b.
q !, able to make up report on circumstance
evidence, the competency and sufficienc,
of which no one appears to doubt. Mayo
: II Yaes' friends say he will personally pa
Tor the late portrait and his enemies sa
: he can afford to as he will become a
famous as Mayor Gleason, of Long Islam
, city.

A CHALLENGE TO RUSSIA.
George KEENAN, Says he Stands Ready to Prove
Every Charge he has Made.


Every Charge he has Made.
CHICAGO, Feb. George KEENAN, has
given to the Associated Press a resume of
the voluminous correspondence lately re-
ceived by hum, relating to the massacre of
Russian administrative officer at va
kutslz, April last, an occurrence which
has hitherto been strenuously denied by the
Russian government One of these letters,
written by survivor of the affair, is sixty
pages in length and sets forth, with great
exactness and detail, every particular of
the massacre and events leading up to and
Immediately preceding and subsequent to
it. KEENAN, declared the communications
to be of the most impartial character and
unimpassiOned in tone, and said they were
to be thoroughly relied upon, but they
withheld the names of the correspondents,
as the publication of their names would IL
volve them in trouble with the Russian adj
ministration.
The story of Remnants correspondent
agrees in many particulars with the &C
count published in the London Times, but
gives in addition many details hitherto I'M
known and the language of the writer at
times is most graphic. 81 consider this in
formation received from Russia" said
KEENAN,, $50 minute and circumstantial in
every detail, and knowing the reliability of
its source, to be complete and conclusive
answer to the recent denials of the Rus
sian government. William Tallert, presi-
dent of the great Howard association Of
England, says that every effort will be
made to bring this matter before the Inter
national Prison congress which will meet
in ST. Petersburg If the Russian govern
ment will permit it and is ready to NEE
the issue, l will undertake to prove before
the prison congress every charge have ar
rayed against it in my articles published il
the Century, or which have otherwise beef
brought forward by me. In substantiatiol
of these charges am prepared to bring m,
witnesses from Siberia and to defray tn
whole expense of such proceedings.n

Mitchell's chest twice very heavily, receiv-
ing in return one on his forehead, which
staggered him. Nevertheless he faced up
we'll Mitchell slipped and fell. Both
showed signs of distress and the veteran
was clearly done up. Mitchell had him on
the ropes and punished him severely.
When time was called for the fourth
round there was some doubt whether Mace
could appear, but he came up though in bad
condition and received heavy one be-
tween the eyes. The police here ordered
the match to cease and both judges pro-
nounced in favor of Mitchell. It was a
very interesting contest Mitchell showed
himself clever. Mace was capital but
lacked the nimble readiness of other days.
He broke finger on the left hand in the
first round. Both hit very hard though nc
blood was drawn.

leaux before the Queen. Society is won
dering whether it is their intention to al
low the pictures to be sold, and if SO,
whether the exalted ladies will accept a
commission of sale, it being a well known
fact that London society women of distinc-
ton and beauty are just as keen after the
profits on the sale of their photographs as
actresses are. Vanderweyde, the Queens
photographer told reporter that he had
taken during this year ten pictures of Mrs.
Henry White, Lady Gray and Lady Ellen
Duncombe the beautiful sister of the
Duchess of Leinster. All came together in
directoire dresses and were taken singly
and in groups.

Mitchell Bests Mace.

GLASGOW, Feb. THE match between
Mitchell and Mace was short and decisive
1t was fought in four rounds of two min
utes each. Neither of the men had trained
much. Mitchell forced the fight from the
first and gained the first knock down blow.
At the end of the first round it was evident
that Mace had little chance to win.
In the second round Mace was again
knocked down. He arose and was little
reluctant, but made, upon the whole, a
better showing than at the outset.
In the third round he made determined
