rhs Power Of BABIES.


The baby is q small thing. This is
especially true at the time of its birth,
when 1t is very red in the face and can
only utter the most general protest
against being brought into the world
without its own permission and ignomin-
iously treated afterwards. Yet it is just
In this initial stage that at least two
American babies have of late caused
serious complications in the grayest
affairs.
Tho first Of these was in Providence,
n. l., where the Barnaby will case was
on hearing. The amount involved was
fully million dollars and the litigation
had involved months of work by counsel
and many days of the time Of the Court.
One difficulty after another had been
met, discussed and disposed Of ;
both parties to the controversy
seemed ready to make conces-
sions. and in one hour the papers
in settlement of the litigation would have
been signed and delivered, when door
opened messenger entered and
whispered to one of those present, an.
nouncilg the birth Of q child, an heir at
law to the estate, whose interests were
entitled to protection and whose advent
upset the carefully laid plans of parties
and counsel, so that now the whole nego
tiation must be gone over again.
The other case was that of frm en-.
gagged in business in New York City
that of Alpers q Swarthout. This con
cern became involved in difficulties and
were pressed by their creditors to make
an assignment. They considered the
proposal favorably, but suddenly one Of
the members crossed into New Jersey
taking the books of the firm with him,
and the cry Of fraud was at once
raised. For time the absent
member was in very bad re-.
pute and then it leaked out that the
whole difficulty had arisen over baby.
The real members of the firm of Alpera
u Swarthout were the wives of the men
whom the world knew as such, and one
of these had become the mother of the
aforesaid baby at just the time when she
would naturally have been told Of the
difficulties of the firm and asked to sign
and acknowledge the assignment. AS it
Is, the affair must wait until the young
ster ia little older.-[DetroitF Free Press.
