THE CRISIS sUCcCEssFULLx PASSED.
The msnager of the stock exchange
clearing house announced that brokers'
sheets passed all right. This meant
that the dreaded Monday settlement
had been effected without any delin-
quency and that great feeling of relief
went through the exchange. The fear
some would be unable to settle was what
cRueed the early weakness and for time
it appeared as If there would be some
more massacres, as on Friday. There
was undisguised pleasure that the
crisis was successfully passed.
THE CoRDAGE TRUST ENJoINED.
An injunction was served against the
officers and receivers of the National
Cordage company today, forbidding
them to transfer any stock from one
name to another. The governors Of the
stock exchange are in session to take
action on the matter, as the injunction
ties up all the stock now held in transfer
by the trust. The receivers have taken
legal steps TO have the injunction va

Bankers who advanced money to the

The Harvest on the Great San Joaouln
Ranch.
FULLERTON, CAL, May 20.-A HERALD
representative drove over to the San
Joaquin ranch this morning, and found
everyone busy preparing for the harvest.
Monday large number of headers will
be put to work harvesting ths crop on
the 5000 acres. From now until the
first Of October large number of men
and teams will be employed. 1t is ssti-
mated that the crop on this ranch will
be about 100000 sacks.
The grain fields had very narrow
escape from destruction one day this
week, when q spark from the engine of
a locomotive OF the Southern California
railway set fire to the barley. Happily
timely assistance arrived, and the FIRE
was put out before it had done much
damage, only about six acres being de-
stroyed. A heavy wind was blowing at
the time, and had the grain been little
dryer it is doubtful il the entire crop
would not have been destroyed.
Thirty-six men are at work on the new,
irrigating system being Put in, and the
work is progressing finely. II will NOT
be so very long now until the immense
domain will all be under a thorough avs
tenn OF irrigation. The great benefit
this work will be in the development of
Orange county can not be doubled.

DANGER OF FOLDING BEDS.


Fifty-six Children killed By Them In
New York City Ia 1891.
The folding bad has been made the
subject OF many bad Jokes, and perhaps
a few good ones, but 1t has not been &C.
riously looked upon as a danger to the
lives OF young children. Yet case oc.
Cured In New York the osAar day,
wnIcn mIEnt easily b6 repeated, OF q
child 8 months old ibeing smoEhered in
a folding bed Without the faintest appre-
citation on the part of the person, who
closed up the bed tbst any child was
there. The case is so ordinary and so
commonplace that it ia surprising,
says the Sun, that similar accidents
do not occur every dsy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcdonald live at 462 West
Fifty second street. Mr.. Mcdonald is a
contractors foreman. The couple have
three children now, and until yesterday
had four. Mrs. Mcdonald has had q
cousin named Alice MeAloon living
with her for some time past. Yesterday
afternoon the 9-months-old baby waa
fretful. Mrs. Mcdonald rocked it to
sleep and then placed it in an open fold
ing bed in another room, returning at
once TO her work in the kitchen. AS
soon as Alice went TO make up the beds.
as she had been in the habit of doing,
she ssw nothing in Mrs. McDonald's
folding bed and closed II without a
thought. Half an hour afterwards she
asked for the baby and Mrs. MCDONALD
told her where she had put it. There
was scream and en- explanation, and
the baby was found suffocated to death.
Have all the experience of past ages
gone for naught in such matters? Ora
dies were invented to keep infants out
of thei danger of being smothered
in bed. Yet in the year 1891 Sc chill
dren perinhed in this way in New York
city, Has the habit of using cradles
gone out OF fashion, and is there anv
good medical reason for it? A child'e
cot or cradle, devoted always to q GER
tain use, acquires something of child's
atmosphere, and the most callous
woman will examine it with more care
in order to make sure that the baby is
ont of it. Cradles have two very obvi-
Gus advantages-they do not take up
much room and they are not self-folding
or self-winding or self-rocking, or any
of the other automatic monstrosi-
ties that the ingenious peddlers
from Connecticut keep persuading
the other inhabitants Of the United
States are the only things required to
turn life from misery TO happiness. An
features of these folding
beds comes in the case in the readiness
with which they can be slammed to.
gether without proper airing and making
over. The old style of bed is perfectly
ventilated by virtHe of it's construction.
It will not look neat unless properly
made over. It is much to be feared that
many OF these labor and space saving de-
vices are as bad from sanitary as they
are from an esthetic point of view. The
plain virtues of cleanliness aud order
are apt to prefer the plain comforts of
beds that cannot be made in an instant
by shutting them up.
