SAVED BY AN INCUBATOR.
Medical Science Brings the Fullness {
Life to Human Being.


. The doctors at Charity Hospital, on
BlackwelPs Island, have just hatched out
a bright, plump baby boy, saws the New
York Void. The little fellow was taken
out of an incubator yesterday morning,
and has been laughing and gurgling ever
since. DR.. Mallet says there isn't Il boy
in all New York who has d better show
TO live to a ripe old age than this tot, who,
in later years, can boast of having had an
eventful career before he fairly existed.
The babe hasn't been chriStened vet.
but he is the son Of Mrs. Eliza Dunn OF
IS7 Mulberry street. Mrs. Dunn is OF
large stature and is the picture of health.
The child is now two months old. 1t was
born prematurely and weighed only four
and half pounds. One month of its pre-
mature existence has been spent in the
incubator with the result that it now
weighs something over eight pounds.
Though at first weak and fragile, and
without Il fair chance ins its unequal
struggle, it is now healthy and properly
proportioned. This is how the doctors
hatchcd the blue-eyed little infant:
The incubator used had just been re-
ceived from Paris, and Willie or Eddie,
or Archibald Dunn, or whatever he'll be
named, had the honor of being it's first
occupant. The arrangement of the con-
trivance is anything but complex. II
consists Of q black walnut box just big
enough to hold the little one.
The babe was wrapped in cotton and
remained in the box steadily for q
month. It was nouriShed evory few
hours during the day. Every morning a
pretty, motherly-looking nurse bathed
the child in cod liver oil from head to
foot. It was feared that even pure water
might injure the delicate skin.
Mrs. Dunn has been at the hospital
since the experiment began, and by the
doctors advice she and her child will re-
main there few days.

CUTTER THAN HIS UNCLE.
In Virginia City Pawnbroker Meets
Moro Than His Mitch

More Than His Match.
4 good story, told in the .Jeweley'S S
Weekly, comes from Virginia City, New.
y miner whose name was Grey. and who
was a generous, innocent fellow, singIl-
larly careless about personal adornment,
was captured one day by pawnbroker
and taken into his store. The man OF
pledges showed him q genuine" dia-
mond ring, and finally persuaded him to
buy 1t for $3.50. Grey was rather proud
Of his ring and was showing it OFF. The
pawnbrolIer, who loved q joke and knew
Grey would take one good-naturedly
called him TO his store and said:
MY friend, that is paste, and not a
real diamond" Grey laughed and re-
piled:
"Well, no one will be the wiser, eh?''
Then he walked over 10 a jewcler and had
a $3.50 diamond set in the same ring, pay
ing $50 for its use. He then visited the
pawnbrolicr and said:
Look here, I'll bet you 5000 that stone
is genuine diamond" The pawnbroker
examined the stone and took the wager.
Then they both went to the ieweler, who
pronounced it q diamond ana the pawn
broker was out S20O. He was surprised.
| Grey then had the paste stone restored.
The pawnbrol<er accosted Grey few
days afterward and said he would give
him SlO0 for the ring. Grey demanded
and received $l50. In the course of a
week he called on the purchaser and said
he would bet 500 the diamond was paste.
The pawnbroker accepted the challenge,
and the same Jeweler pronounced it paste
Good GodN' the pawnbroker yelled
''when you have the ring it's diamond,
and when | have it it's paste!'
oh said Grey, coolly, "God is kind
and looks after the devout in Virgins

FATE OF THE COMMUNISTS.
They Were Seized by the Charco
IEi,.I.. nn,a IlII,,n,nnl Into tInL, E..-

They Were Seized by the Charcoal
Girls and Dumped Into the Bay.
Twenty years ago, when the uprising
Of the Communists had been Sternly sup
pressed in Paris, and many of the ring
leaders had paid the penalty Of their
misdeeds, with backs against dead wall
and eyes confronting file OF grim sol
diery, few members Of the defeated
Commune escaped and fled wherever
chance and opportunity led them. Some
reached Martinique, and were not slow to
air their doctrines among the simple
islanders.
To these refugees, the statue OF Jose
phine seemed a lasting reproach-an ever
present evidence of the royalty they
loathed and of the government they had
left behind them. They thought it would
be fine thing to deface this work of art
as they had effaced so many in Paris,
and dynamite was actually procured and
disposed to the best advantage around
the base Of the statue.
But the proceedings of these old coun-
try roughs had been noticed by some of
the women at Fort de France-broad-
shouldered charcoal girls, strong and
active porteuses, who had no idea of al
lowing indignity to be offered to La Jolle
Creole. When the destroyers assembled
to Wreak their spite on the marble, they
found themselves seized by a score of
stalwart women, relates Mary Shears
Roberts in st. Nicholas. The ruf1ians
were secured, tied hand and foot, and,
since they were caught in the act, no time
was wasted on trial. They were simply
cast, bound as they were, into the bay.
The waves over which Josephine's boat
used to speed SO lightly a hundred years
ago now roll above the bodies of the van
dals who would have insulted her mem
ory. Communism found no congenial
soil on Martinique, and the popular ver-
dict was, Served them right 1t all
happened twenty years ago, and you will
hear nothing of the tragedy to-day unless
you inquire closely into the history OF
JoSephIne's statue.

To Cool a BEDROOM.

IF the sleeping-room is warm, it may
be cooled for time by wringing large
pieces OF cotton ont of water and hanging
them before the open windows, says TIE
Ladies' Home journal. Leave the door
open, and as the air comes through the
wet cotton it viii be cooled. This is a
good device for cooling sick-room; the
clothes can then be wet again and again.
Keep the gas turned low during the
process of undressing, and sleep without
q light, unless it is a tiny night-lamp.

laughing. Miss Alberta Marcella was in

Those near the stage began to litter. A
few ladies put their handkerchiefs to their
eyes and laughed very heartily. Sud

The Carnival Closed and the Blues Pre-
pairing for Their Bazaar.

pairing Ior tnclr Dahatf'
The CARNIVAL de lar Mer is now indeed q
memory OF the past.
Every vestige of its former glory is de-
parted and there is hardly sign In the big
building TO denote its pristine pOmp and
beauty Every ship has been depleted of
its colors and decoration, and every article
which still remained over from Saturday
was auctioned off yesterday-some Of them
at surprisingly low figures.
The decorator, too, has removed his flags
and draperies, and the hall now looks as il
il had been struck by whirlwind. The
bunting which formed the sides of the
boats has been taken away, leaving only the
skeleton framework of the once pretty
vessels.
Late yesterday afternoon group Of
ladies still fingered fondly in the building
bidding on the articles which still re-
manned over, and they made some very
cheap purchases.
II will be impossible for ten days to tell
exactly how much money was realized, as
the managers hope to get something from
the sale of the building after the Blues
have had their bazaar in it. Moreover,
none of the chairmen of the different ships
have as yet submitted their reports.
NIitteldorfer, the Richmond decorator,
will commence to-day on the work OF
draping the building for the Blues fair,
which begins next Tuesday. The decora-
tons will be of different order from those
Of the Carnival, and special effort will be
made TO cover up. every portion of the
timber Of the building.
All the ships will be taken down, and in
their stead booths will be erected. IL has
been decided to put these up with az much
idea TO economy of space as possible, so
that the visitors will have ample room.
Captain Cutchins has been iudisposed for
several days, and hence he has not been
able TO give the coming bazaar as much
attention as he would otherwise have done,
But he said yesterday TO representative
of the Dispatch that they hoped to make
the affair great success. II has been de-
cided by him TO do away with any amuse-
ment features. with the exception Of con-
certs, which will take place every night.
The lemonade booth will probably be
erected in the middle of the hall, and the
restaurant enlarged so as TO accommodate
as many people as desire to get refresh
fharn
