IT WAS a SOFT PoTATo.-Mary
Helen Foote, Il 17-year-old brunette,
whom her counsel described as the
belle of Syracuse, was before Justice
Andrews, of the Supreme Court Of New
York on Monday to show that she is
not restrained of her liberty, on mo-
tions growing out of her action for sep
aration from Clarence w. Foote. She
wanted counsel fee and alimony, and he
desired the case transferred to Syracuse
for trial.
They were married in April, 1891, at
syracuse, after an elopcment. Foote
is collector for Andrews Bros, groccrs,
of Syracuse, and her father, Hiram r.
Long. also does business in the same
place. Her parents had opposed the
marriage, and Foote averred that they
held her in restraint and instituted the
proceedings against him.
Two months after the marriage, she
declares, he struck her in the aose with
his fist last February he hit her with
potato, and last month with closed
screen.
Foote admits striking his wife with
his open hand, and says it was because
she went to ball against his remon-
STRANGE. Concerning thepotato episode,
he says:
Il did hastily pick a potato from a
dish in front of me and did throw it,
and said potato did strike plaintiff in
the face, but it was soft potato and
did not injure her
He did not hit her with folding
screen, but on the occasion TO which
she refers he slapped her because She
would not cook his dinner and because
when he set to work in his socks she
deliberately stepped on his corns.
Decision was reserved.

A BABY ON THE TRACK.-A two
year-old Hungarian baby boy asleep on
the Baltimore and Ohio track shortly
before dark Sunday evening was res
cued by Bruce Cunningham, the fire
man Of the Bissell accommodation
train, when the train was running 20
miles an hour, between Laughlin and
Linden stations, Pa.
When first seen on the track the en-
gineer thought the object was a goat:
The fireman saw it was child and
rushed out along the engine down TO
the cowcatcher. As he left the cab he
exclaimed: There's only one chance:
Jump and roll with it.
BY the time the fireman had reached
the cowcatcher the engineer had check
ed speed. The cowcatcher caught the
little ones skirts as Cunningham grasp
ed the child. With desperate effort
he threw himself off the engine and
rolled with the infant in his arms Over
and over into ditch. Conductor Nc
Abee said:
"As the train slowed up jumped off,
and running back to the spot found
Cunningham flat on his back in the
ditch with the baby safe in his arms.
Cunningham was stunned, ,but rallied in
a minute or two and went back 10 his
cab and came in on the train as usual. .

NARROW ESCAPE.

Joseph Beach had narrow escape
from death Tuesday afternoon. He
was at work at the bottom of the
| excavation for sewer connection in
front of D. L.Clement's & Sons store.
Those above saw the ground on one
side begin to cave in and shouted to
Beach. who was at work on his hands
and knees twelve feet below. He
Strengthened up and put his arms be-
fore his face just as the dirt struck
him and covered him three feet above
his head. The other workmen at
once began to dig him out and could
hear him shout. A large crowd gath
cred around and watched the work, ex-
pecting to find the man dead, but for
tunately he was not even hurt and
after five minutes digging was releas-
ed from his perilous position.
No boards had been used to brace
the sides Of the excavation, and it
was an easy matter for the soil to fall
in. 1t is frequently the case that no
braces are used, and it shows crimi-
nal carelessness in regard to human
life. Several have been already been
killed through the caving in of the
earth on Front street, and it would
seem that no further warning as to
the treacherous nature of the soil was
necessary.

TWO ADVENTURES.

One Of the police officers was awak-
ened "from sound sleep the other
night by a neighbor who wanted him
to come to his house and get bur-
glar. The officer donned his clothes
in haste and followed his neighbor to
the house and was shown the room
from which suspicious sounds had
emanated. The officer, after taking
due precautions, entered revolver in
hand, and found the intruder crouch
ing in corner. 1t was cat.
This scare, however, does not hold a
candle to one which former Manka-
to chief of police experienced several
years ago, at time when burglary
scares were nightly reported. He
heard what he took to be some one at
tempting to open the shutters of a
lower window. He cautiously proceeded
to Investigate, but could not find any
one there. Again retiring to his slum-
bers, he was awakened by the same
SUSPICIOUS SOuuuSs WIZ lllOlC llC
arose and stealthily sought the win
dow from which the noises came, but
was not rewarded by a sight of the
night prowler. Such a state of affairs
was tantalizing and he determined to
capture the burglar at all hazards, SO
he telephoned to the city hall and
had one of his officers come to the
house in the hope that the two could
capture so persistent thief. When
the officer arrived, the noise at the
shutter was again in progress, and the
two executed flank movement and
simultaneously surrounded the win
dow, but no burglar was there. An
investigation was made and when the
shutter was opened mouse sprang
down from where it had been nibbling
the movable Stats. This adventure
has been well kept until now, but it
is too good to longer preserve.

GRATEFUL AND HAPPY MOTHERS
Write Thousands of Letters to Golden
Specific Company, for the Perma-
nent Cures Wrought Upon
Their Loved Ones, Not I'm
like This One.

my husband has taken the two
boxes of Specific that 1 received Octo-
Der IA. have still eight powders
left, and now he says he has no desire
or appetite for any kind of liquor. He
has been drinking for fifteen years.
Now he can come home like sober
man. With many thanks to God and
you for this great remedy"
Mrs. j. H., Madison, Fla.
For the permanent cure for drunk
enness it stands alone, the one cure
sure and certain. 1t is guaran-
teed to be perfectly harmless, and to
cure all manner of drunkenness. The
disease in any of It's peculiar stages
yields at once to it's power to heal.
For fifteen years the merits of this
cure for the liquor habit has been
known in many parts of the world,
and it stands today the peerless rene
dy for drunkenness, perfect enamel
patOr from the bondage of alcohol.
The majority of drinking men are un-
willing to quit the drink habit, and
are never willing to admit their need
of help and medicine. 1t is settled
fact that the drunkard will not save
himself. There is no infatuation like
that begotten of alcoholic drink; once
under it's spell, one word tells the
story self-destruction. The drunk
ard to be saved must be saved by his
friends. The mother, wife, sister or
daughter who has been praying for
help, may have her prayer answered
by securing the Specific and putting
it in tea, coffee or food of the friend
needing treatment, without his
knowledge of the fact, and perma-
nent cure will be the result. Many
cures are being wrought these days in
this way. 1t is harmless but effec-
tive home treatment. The Specific
creates an aversion and repugnance
to the taste and odor of liquor. It's
the greatest nerve food known One
package by mail for SO will surely con-
strain you to be a friend of the Golden
Specific Company, Cincinnati, O., who
will send free to any one 4S-page
phamphlet on the subject Drunken
ness Cura ble." Write for one.
