Rev. H. M. Simmons on "The
New Eden" City
News.

A rather peculiar and novel case of
child desertion occurred Oil Saturday
evening at the Catholic Orphan asy-
lum, corner Chicago avenue and Forty
ninth street. About o'clock in the
evening carriage drove up to the door
of the asylum, and well-dressed and
remarkably handsome young woman
alighted with four-mont hs-old baby
in her arms. Going to the door, she en-
tered into negotiations with the sister
superior with view to having the child
taken care of, and was told that she
could leave it there if she provided for
its support. Then asking the sister to
hold the baby while she settled with
the hack driver, she went out and,
hurriedly jumping into the carriage,
drove away at rapid pace. The mat
ter was reported to the police, and yes
terday the young woman was arrested
at the union depot by Inspector Law
renee just as she was about to take
train for MenOmonie, Wis. On being
questioned, she gave her name as Ida
May Wood, and stated that she was un-
married and lived in Wisconsin, as did
also the father of the child, a son of one
of the wealthiest families in that state.
She and the child were detained over
night at the lookup, and to-day the au-
thorltleS will look further into the case.

New York Sun.
Did you ever notice with what ex
quisite ease and grace mother carries
little child? There's no poetry of mo-
ton in all the Delsarte system equal to
it. A big,strong man lugs baby along
as if 1t were bundle of pig iron. A
slight, frail little woman swings it up
on her shoulder and poises it like a
nosegay, or, better still, veritable part
of herself.
A woman isn't supposed to be mind
full of the charms of her sisters, but the
heart of a man somehow gives leap OF
the cleanest. puTest kind of admiration
when one of those slight, frail little
women trips alongside with baby bal
anced on her shoulder in that comfort
able way real womanly woman man
ages it.

DEAD FOR FORTY DAYS.
A Remarkable Case of Suspended
Animation at Runjeet Singh's
Court.


Chambers Journal.
My first acquaintance with the nara
tive dates from my boYhood. About
the time of the occurrence L heard it
related by MY father; and his authority
was the we'll known Gen. Avitable.
Runjeet Singh's right-hand man, who
was present.
Those facts are that a certain ''joghee''
(HindOO anchOrite), said to possess the
power of supending at will and reSum-
ing the animation of his body, was sent
for by Runjeet Singh, and, declining to
obey, was brought by force into the
tyrant's presence and ordered to give,
under pain of death, practical proof of
his supposed power. He submitted per-
force.
lie was put by his disciples through
certain processes, during which he be-
came perfectly unconscious: the pulses
ceased, his breath did not stain pol
ished mirror, and a European doctor,
who was present, declared that the
heart had ceased TO beat. To all APP
pearanceS he was as dead as Queen
Anne. In this state he was placed in a
carefully made box, the lid was closed
and sealed with Runjeet Singh's own
signet ring.
Inc DOX WAS UuIlcu Ill Il Vault pre-
pared in an open plot of ground under
the royal windows of Lahore, and the
place was guarded day and night by
Runjeets own guards under Gen. Avit
able's own supervision.
Sun and rain came and grass sprang
up. grew and withered on the surface
over the grave, and the sentries went
their rounds, and the joghee's disciples
and friends were kept rnder careful
surveillance, not to call it imprison-
ment, After forty days. in Runjeet
Singh's own presence, the vault was un-
covered and the box extracted from it
with its seal intact.
1t was opened and showed the joghee
within precisely as he had been placed.
He was taken out, dead still, to all APP
pearance, but the body incOrrupt. His
disciples were now brought to manipu-
late the body i'll the manner which he
had taught them and which he had pub
licly explained before the burial.
He revived, as he had said he would.
and was soon i'll as perfect health as
when he had suspended his life. He re-
fused all gifts and retired to his former
retreat, but shortly afterward he and
his disciples disappeared. 1t WAS not

A USEFUL WE ED.
Making Soap From a Wild Prod
uct of the PFairies.

Making Soap From a Wild Prod
uct of the PPairies.
Kansas City Times.
That prickly pirate of the plains. the
Mexican soap weed, is being converted
rapidly into delicious toilet soap, "fit
to wash the hands of the pope," by a
West Bottoms manufacturing company.
The soap weed since time began, or
since the Kansas prairie was an inland
sea, has thrust its roots deep i'll the soil
of the unsheltered plains and f1ourished.
There has been nothing until now to
diminish the supply or eXtermInate the
species. The hot sun, the baking winds
and the dearth of that moisture which is
supposed to be absolutely necessary to
life harmed not this hardy sentinel of
the plains. Wet or dry, hot or cold, its
rapier-llke blades, sharp as cambric
needle, radiated alike from given spot
on the face of the earth.
The root of this weed is now being
gathered up by men who drive their
wagons over the plains of Western Kan
sas. A sharp spade is driven down
deeply by the side of the plant, the
earth is broken. and the thick, brown
root is secured. The top, with its long
spines, is thrown aside. Sometimes a
long, sharp tool is required to reach
deep into the ground in order to secure
the greater part of the root Like the
prairie dog, sit goes down to water.''
The root has been known to extend
as far as twenty feet into the soil, but
only from two to three feet OF the upper
portion, which is about two inches
thick, is worth digging for. This root
is brought by the wagon load to Kansas
City, where the Interstate Toilet Soap
company, with little factory at Twelfth
and Genesee, converts it into soap. The
roots are first washed, then cut up and
boiled out in big vat where other in
gradients are also placed. When this is
dried out to such degree
that it will solidify, it is mold
ed into semi-transparent cakes that
slip around in the hands delightfully."-
while being used. One of the most won
derfui things about this weed is that
willie growing in a region where alkali
pools dot the ground, and where the
soil is white with chemical, none of it is
found in the root, Many of the poorer
settlers who occupy ''dugouts" find the
root in its natural state a panacea for
many Ills. They cut it into convenient
pieces and use it as cake of toilet
soap.

ADJUSTMENTS.

RusselPs Comedians, in "The City
Directory" were not received by very
large audience last evening, but the en-
thuSiasm manifested compensated in
measure for the lack of numbers. "The
City Directory is funnier than ever.
and the Smiths who figure in it are
more more capable than usual. All of
them are well-known laugh-makers. All
of the men have been on the minstrel
stage, and have made regulations there.
They are amusing as ever in white face
work. Luke Schoolcraft is the only
one who clings to the burnt cork. He
is janitor. He was never funnier. 1t
is not necessary to mention the part as
signed to each one. w. p. Sweatnam,
Dan DAILY, Burt Haverly ana Charles
Seaman are all there and each has work
TO fit him. The result is whirl
mark sings. So does j, G. Miron
In addition, Miron plays the role of
rapid advance agent with makeup
and an air that would shame Irish Jack,
the champion bulldog. Miss Amelia
Glover dances and dances all too little
to satisfy the audience. Bessie Cleve-
land, Kate Uart, Maym Kelso and Mar
ion Weller contribute enjoyable muSI-
cal numbers Miss TART has an excep-
tionally good contralto voice.
Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown" was
seen at the Bijou yesterday afternoon
and evening. 1t is not equal to Hoyt's
other productions. There is little to it
in fact, no strong idea of burning
satire such as pervades most of his
farces. 1t is in the hands of clever peo-
pie, who make good show of it.
Harry COnOr, as Welland Strong,
man who has his length
of life figured down to a sec
Ond, and who pins his faith
to horse doctors, is really funny.
George a. Beane, Jr., makes Ben Gay,
the sportive old bachelor, amusing.
Harry Gilfoil whistles charmingly and
gives limitations of a scissors grinder, a
dog fight, a cat fight, saw mill, man
drawing soda water, ETC., that are un-
equaled. Millie Price Dow and the
DAILY sisters are very good dancers.
Blanche Arkwright is a clever male i'm
Dersonator. There is any amount of
good music Interspersed by Anna Boyd,
Lillian Barr, Geraldine McCann, Ar
thur Pacie and Lloyd Wilson.
Several hundred people assembled at
the Lyceum last night to witness the
opening performance of the Swedish
Dramatic company, but were disap-
pointed on account of the non-arrival of
the company from Moline, H., owing to
failure in making railroad connec-
tons. The company will arrive this
morning, however. and the first per.
formance will be given tonight.
Tonight Harry Montague and his
own company will open a weeks en-
gagement at the Pence, producing

been seen packed houses have ruled.

Judge Pond Finds Fault With
the Way Court Business Goes
on Record.
A good many lawyers, and some of
the Judges on the bench in the Fourth
district, are waking up to the possibili-
ties for fraud in the beginning and pros
ecution of law cases. The code as ii
stands now does not prevent fraud. 1t
is the simplest thing in the world
There was divorce case in court Sat
urday that was pushed through in less
than twenty-fou hours. No one knew
anything about it. A note of issue was
filed Friday and the case was tried Sat
urday. The same thing could be done
with another than divorce case. This
system Opeus the door Tor fraud in
many ways. Judge Pond says under
this head:
81 wish that all the technicalities of
case heard on its merits, if it has any,
The practice ought to be changed, too.
so as to require the filing of all original
papers with the clerk and the COM
mencements of all suits by process is
sued by the clerk under seal of the
court. In divorce cases, for instance,
parties come before us with their case
all made up ready for trial before a
paper is filed, and we have no means of
knowing whether there is cOllusion or
not, for nc publicity has been given the
matter, and we can only go by the sur
face indications. The practice is all
wrong in this respect, and should be
changed"
