RARY FARMING.
Two Dead Infants Found fin the
 House of Midwfves-Searching for


 House of misunderstanding for other Bodies fin a Pond.
 NEWTON, L.I., Sept. 14.-Three midwives Mrs. Scheuber of No. SIS East Fifty-sixth street and Mrs. Weiner of East Nineteenth street-were brought here this morning by Justice Brandon charged with complicity with Bernard Claus and his wife in carry ing on the business of baby farming in Maspeth, where two dead infants were found in their house on Friday. It is supposed that the midwives named supplied the babies which were found to the number of forty in railways and on doorsteps in this town and Long Island City during the past few months, besides others which have died from lack of proper care Claus and his wife implicated the mid wives in confession made to Justice Brandon last night. Claus says the mid wives paid him from S1 to $4 for taking the children off their hands. The women deny this and say they only referred their patients, the mothers of the children, to the Claus people. The prisoners were ar ranged before Justice Scheper, who held them for further examination.
 Two engines were busy all day pumping the water out of the pond at the rear of the Clauss residence on Fiske avenue, Maspeth, to enable proper search to be made for the bodies of other infants sup posed to have been thrown in it by the baby-farmers. Dr. Frank Wickham made an autopsy on the bodies of the infant found dead in q crib and the one hidden in feather bed in the Clauss house and found that death was the result of lack of proper nourishment.

WOMEN AS COLLECTORS.
A New Avenue of Employment Opened to
the Weaker Sex.

n D
the Weaker Sex.
The avenues of employment for women
are constantly increasing. Already she
has proved herself good clerk, good
book keeper and a good type writer,
and the latest is a female collector. At
least dozen houses in Kansas City are
employing women in this capacity, and
their number seems to be constantly in
creasiDg.
A woman may be book-keeper or type
writer and yet be the most feminine Great
ure imaginable, despite her business rela-
tions, says the Kansas City Star, but tho
female dunner would seem to be another
kind of business woman, and she brings for
ward very promptly the question Of how
much distinction must be made between a
woman and man IN the same business.
One thing is certain, one can not kick
lady collector out of the office.
The female collectors are for the most
part young women, and, according TO their
employers, they are as persistent and as
successful in their business as 80. Their
mode of operation, however, is sor .ewhat
peculiar, and they do not seem to so about
the collection of bill the same way as
man. A reporter happened in an Office yes
terday where fifteen or twenty young men
were working. While he was talking with
the manager well-dressed young woman
walked in and inquired for one of the young
men. He was pointed out TO her, and while
the whole Office watched her she walked
over to his desk and began conversation
with him in tone so low no one could hear.
After talking for few moments she turned
to go, and raising her voice, said:
"If you don't come in and settle I'll be
around again on Saturday"
When she was gone the young man came
in for an unmerciful guying, and it is safe to
say he made desperate effort to pay the
bill before Saturday. She was the collector
for a jewelry firm.
A merchant who has adopted the new
scheme was asked about it, and said IL
find that my lady collector is persistent
faithful and trustworthy, and has great
success in making some very bad collcc-
tions, and don't see why a lady should not
be permitted to ask for the payment of a
billlf she can do almost every thing else
about an office.n

A BAR HARBOR IDYL.
How a Young Woman's Poodle Was Ii
beled by a Wicked Man.


beled by a Wicked Man.
Once On a time there was at one of the
Bar Harbor hotels young woman from
New York who was, to speak within bounds
a mass of affectations. She had more airs
than hand-organ, and, says the Boston
Courier, they were of the same artificial
character. She was the laughing-stock OF
the guests at the house, and there. were
numberless jokes at her expense which she
had not apparently the wit to appreciate
Miss X. had poodle on which she lavished
the choicest treasures of her affections.
The creature had it's own especial maid, and
was taken out to ride in state every morn
ing with as much tenderness as if it had
been a child. One day Miss X. came down
to the dining-room for dinner in state of
much agitation. She announced that dear
Flossy's maid was i'll, and she really had no
one TO stay with Lne SWEEP creature while
she came to dinner. She could
scarcely eat, she was so fearful of
the blight which might be cast upon
the poodle's tender sensibllities by the
loneliness to which she was condemned for
half an hour. There was at the table Bos-
tonan who from the bottom of his soul
loathed Miss x, her poodle and her affecta-
tions. He rose as she continued her plant,
posed that he could not endure her twaddle.
But as matter of fact he went in tent upon
wicked thoughts. He knew where in the
stables was litter of blind, rough-coated.
mongrel pups, the children of the most
plebeian of ours. He hurriedly robbed the
dirty little mother Of the whelps, bribed a
chambermaid, and when Miss x. hurried
up from her dinner to console Miss Flossy
for her absence she found her pet surround
ed by litter of the most disreputable pups
that the eye of man ever lighted upon. Miss
X. was not clever enough to conceal what
she supposed to be the shame of her beloved
poodle, but shrieked and wept and made
generally the most tremendous fuss. AS
the Bostonian had let few OF his friends
into the secret, it soon got about, and the
amount of jestlng and chatting that fell to
the lot of Miss x was immeasurable She
soon discovered the truth of the matter, and
her indignation knew no bounds. She en-.
dured for couple of days the mock. earnest
inquiries after the health of her dog and
her dogs family, but at the end of that
time she silently gathered her belongings
together and took herself away. She
could endure il no longer, and Flossy. the
injured, passed with her mistress out of
the life at Bar Harbor as completed as if
the pair had never existed.

CONCERNING NOISE.
One Of the Most Injurious Influences o.
City Life,

One OF the Most Injurious Influences OF
City Life.
can bear the heat very WELL" said a
student forced to spend summer in the

fosslbly he did not stop to consider that, in
making such declaration, he placed him
sell in illustrious company. Thomas Car.
lyle "could not abide'' noise, especially
that OF the morning Growing Of cocks.
| Wallenstein, accustomed as he was to the
din Of battle, had an uncomfortable dread
OF the barking of dogs, and o,en the clatter
OF the large spurs fashionable in his day.
In order to ensure quiet, he engaged twelve
patrols to make regular circuits about his
house night and day
Neither julius Cesar nor the philosopher,
Kant, could tolerate the growing of poor
chanticleer, who, indeed, seems to have
very few friends among the studious and
sensitive.
Schopenhauer exceeds almost all low
ers OF quiet in the extravaganza of his
denunciation OF noise. He declares tina: the
amount which man can bear with ease is
in inverse ratio to his mental power.
IF l hear a dog barking for hours on
the threshold of a house," he writes, al
know well enough what kind of brains l
may expect from its Inhabitants
A writer in the Popular Science Aonthly as
serts that noise is one of the most injurious
influences Of city life. 1t may not be suffi-
ciently loud to attract the attention of those
accustomed to it. but, if continuous, it acts
as inevitably upon the nervous system as
water IN dropping upon a stone.
experiments made upon animals show
that when they have been subjected, for a
number of hours, TO the vibration of a
tuning fork, their nerve centers became
irritated, as certainly as muscular tibers
would be affected by an acid or an electric
shock
The injurious effect of ordinary noises
has been recognized by the authorities of
European cities, and, in some cases, the
nuisance has been suppressed. Heavily
laden carts are not admitted to certain
streets of Berlin, and in olbers they are only
allowed to pass on condition that the horses
walk. The street-cars of Munich have no
bells, and those of us who live in places
where these bells are not used on Sunday
can testify to the relief attendant on the
consequent "peace and quiet"
The amount of the matter seems to be
that the city dweller must regard noise as
one of the necessary evils of his condition
one to be borne philosophically, and requir-
ing large stock of grace and patience
Happy, indeed, are they who, through the
long, hot months, arc only disturbed in their
morning slum bers by the song Of the birds,
or the Growing of cocks.

THE
Diamond Watch Club !

For the benefit of those who do
not already understand the plan we
wish to explain just how it is ope-
rated. We run a club for so weeks.
and every member pays us certain
amount every week. This amount
depends upon the value of the watch
or diamond the member wishes to
get. Thus, if the member desires a
$50 watch or diamond, he or she
must pay 81 a week; if he or she
wants a $25 article they can pay
either so cents week for fifty weeks
or 81 a week tor twenty-five weeks;
and so on. In other words, the
weekly payments must amount to
the price OF the watch or diamond
in fifty weeks. Now, in return for
this money which we take in we
give out one watch or diamond q
week until every member has been
supplied. Thus every one gets just
what they pay for and get iton easy
terms. Our way of giving out, the
goods is perfectly fair and open.
Every member is numbered, and
all of the numbers are placed in a
small sealed envelope in a glass jar
in plain sight, and then they are
thoroughly shaken up and mixed,
and then the first one drawn is
awarded the watch or diamond that
week. We draw a number every
Monday evening at 1880 and all are
invited to be present if they wish.
We have also found it desirable not
to make known the names of the
members of our club. Ladies, in
particular, object to having it known
how they buy watch or diamond,
or what they pay for it. For this
reason we assign number to each
member, ard when we have draw
ing we simply announce that such
a number draws, without mention
ing the name.
This is not in any sense lottery
or anything of the kind, for every
member is sure to get just what he
paws for. Now, if any member
does not wish to wait until his num-
ber draws, they can at any time pay
up the full amount and take their
goods. We furnish any kind, make
or price of watch desired, or anv
other article you may want, and we
endeavor to use every member per-
fectly fair. Every watch is just as
fully warranted and the price ls just
as low as if it were bought from us
for the cash down; and besides this
on account of our selling so many
watches we are able TO make the
price lower than we otherwise could
possibly do. 1t will readily be seen
that by this plan every member is
put on an even footing with cash
buyers and is enabled to purchase
much cheaper than under any other
credit system. The payments are
so small that they are hardly felt.
and a good article is secured at bot
tom cash rates.

HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.
What the Prince of Wales Said Upon His
First Public Appearance.

First Public Appearance.
The earliest public appearance of the
Prince of Wales as a speaker was at the
Royal Academy banquet, May 2, 1868. 1t
was in the old rooms at Trafalgar square,
when Sir Charles Eastlake was president.
The public mind was full of mingled sorrow
and pleasure at two recent events-the
death of the Prince Consort and the mar
riage of the heir-apparent In replying to
the toast Of his health, the Prince of Wales
spoke very briefly, but with the good sense
and good taste manifest in all his public
speeches: "Sir Charles Eastlake, Your
Royal Highness, my Lords and Gentlemen (:
1t is with the most contending feelings Of
pleasure, pride and sorrow that rise to re-
turn you thanks in the name Of myself and
