DANGER OF FOLDING-BEDS.
Fifty-six Children Killed by Them in

The folding-bed has been the subject OF
many bad jokes and perhaps few goods

upon as danger to the lives of young chill

the other day which nigh: easily be re-
peated. Of a child, months old, being
smothered In folding-bed without the
faintest appreciation on the part OF the per-
son who closed the bed up that any child
was there. The case Is so ordinary and so
commonplace that 1t Is surprising that SIM
liar accidents do not occur every day.
Mr. and Mrs. Mcdonald live at 462 West
Fifty-second street. Mr.. Mcdonald is
contractors foreman. The couple have
three children now, and until yesterday had
four. Mrs. Mcdonald has had cousin
named Alice McAioOn living with her for
some time past. Yesterday about noon the
ntne-month-0ld baby was fretful. Mrs.
McDonaId rocked it to sleep and then
placed 1t in The open folding-bed in another
room, returning at once TO her work in the
kitchen. AS soon as Mrs. Mcdonald re-
turned to the kitchen Alice went to make up
the beds, as che has been in the habit OF
doing. She saw nothing in Mrs. Melon
AIDS folding bed and closed ii up without
thought. Half an hour afterward she asked
for the baby and Mrs. Mcdonald told her
where she had put it. There was scream
and an explanation and baby was found
suffocated to death.
Has all the experiences OF past ages gone
for naught in such matters? Cradles were
invented to keep infants out OF the danger
of being smuthered IN bed. Yet in the year

EASY FOR THE EMMETS.
They Make Ten Goals to the Sheri-
dams One.

Quite number of football lovers took adj
vantage Of the beautiful weather yesterday
TO witness the game al the Haight-street
grounds between the Emmets and the
Sheridans. The Sarsfelds OF Port Costa
and the Emmets of this city were scheduled
to play, but for some reason the Sarsfields
did not show up at the grounds. and the
game was given in default TO the Emmets.
The general opinion is that the Sarsfelds
had disbanded, as there has been much dis
satisfaction expressed among the members
of that team Of late on account of the long
distance they have to travel. which incurs
much expense. That the Sarsfelds were
not expected TO come down was evinced by
the fact that the full team Of the Sheridans
was on the ground all morning, in readiness
TO MAY if the Sarsfelds did not appear.
Up 10 3 o'clock the taTdy team had not
put in its appearance. so the Emmets and
SEeridans were ordered on the field TO play.
Although the SheTidans were beaten by
score Of ten to nothing. nevertheless they
put up a good game. very marked improve

lola on Marriage.


Emile lola, In a curious article entitled
How Folks Marry" expresses extreme
dsapproval and disgust of the French mar
rage system. He contrasts with a good
deal of rough power the different lives led
after the age Of ten years. of the boys and
girls who till that time mad been playmates
and leading practically the same existence.
After this happy, natural sort of life the
paths of the brother aud sister widely di-
verge; the son goes to the ycee. which has
been described as an "inky Slyx" where
some may swim but many drown, while the
daughter is either brought up in tender,
sheltered home or sent to a good educa-
tiona convent, where she is. if possible,
even more protected from outside evil ipfu-
ences than when under her mothers wing.
nj. lola makes it quite clear that he leans
to the American system of education. 1t

DINING WITH THE DEAD.
Queer Feasts Contrived to Humor an
Insane Dukes Fancy.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch


Duke Henry Julius Of Bourbon who was
appointed Governor of Burgundy by King
Louis XIV Of France was seized with a sim
gular fancy during the last year OF his life.
He imagined himself dead and refused TO
eat or drink on the ground that dead men
had no further need for food. This had
gone on for days and his life was en-
dangereS by his obstinate refusal to
partake of a m0rsel Of food. AT last his
friends conceived the singular idea Of ar
ranging banquets for the dead. Those who
were initiated in the deception were appro-
priateiy disguised and introduced themselves
10 the sick man as his dead father and
brothers. inviting him to dine with them at
Turenne's house, who was also no longer
among the living.
The Duke was at first greatly perplexed
BY this turn of affairs, but accepted the invi-
tation. He liked the feast so we'll that he
himself invited number Of dead persons Of
his acquaintance to banquet with him. 1t
is needless to say that they came promptly
and ate with excellent appetite. This went
on until the Dukes death, nearly year

A Fight With a Wolf.
New York SIM

A hunter and a wolf had an interesting
mutual SUNRISE party to themselves in the
hills near Helena, Mont. few days ago.
The hunter, arrayed In a heavy wolf-skin
overcoat, fur side outward, was examining
some traps set the previous night. He was
STOPPING over one, rea:ranging the bait,
when there was the sound of a fierce growl
and heavy weight fell suddenly on his
back, bearing him to tile ground. so that he
barely missed being caught in his own trap.
He managed to shake himself free, and re-
covering his feet found facing him full
grown buffalo wolf. The wolf seemed quite
as much surprised as the hunter, and they
looked at eacl other for some seconds be-
fore the tight which ended in the death of
the wolf began. The brute evidently was
fooled by the overcoat and the hunters
STOPPING position and mistook him for an
other wolf.

ART AND COCKTAILS.
The Peculiar Business of a Chicago
Man Leads to Threats.

Chicago Times.
wholesale dealer in fine art and whisky"
Is what a successful Chicago man with an
Office in the Ashland block calls himself.
IL is his business TO transfer the master
pieces OF the French painters from the
walls of the Paris salon to those OF Chicago
saloons. With every keg of old rye the
Chicago ginmill gets an old master, and
with each picture goes the papers which
guarantee its authenticity. OF course
the paintings do not permanently leave
the possession OF this peculiar patron of the
fine arts. They are simply lent or leased for
the time being to the particular saloon
keeper who wishes to transform his place
into an art gallery. Already this alcoholic
conn osseur has $780, 600 invested in painted
canvas. His collection mum bers 163 paint
ings, among them being fine examples of
Auguste-FeliX Clement. Gustave Werth-
elmer, Leon Pallierd, Jules Sealbert.
Anton Serre and Jules Ferry. In return
for the large monthly rental paid the
ssloonkeeper has been allowed to sell to his
patrons photographs Of such OF the paint
lngs as might catch their eyes, and thus
has sprung up business which interferes
materially with the income Of the regular
art dealer. So successful, in fact. from a
commercial point OF view, has been this Pc
culiar com bination of cocktails and fine art
that the senior member Of the Philadelphia
art flrm OF Gebble " Barrie has come on 10
Chicago to prevent by injunction. If possi--

II own the original Of The Revenge of
the Flowers" he said, "aDd it is copy
rghted Ifyou sell any more photographs
shall get ont an injunction and sue you
for damages"
But the saloonkeeper had a certified check
for $4,000 in his possession guaranteeing
the genuineEess of the big canvas, and he
told Mr.. Gebbie to go ahead with his
legal proceedings. Then Mr.. Gebbie
Gained down somewhat and proceeded
10 look at the painting more critic
ally. 1t bore the artists signature and
on the stretcher was stamped his
crest in red wax. Mr.. Gebbie was puzzled.
Then he was shown letters from Wertheimer
himself. and they explained the parent
mystery. Several years ago." he wrote,

admitted that his picture was much
much smaller than the one before him, hut
he was still not satisfied. He left the place
vowing that all the powers of The law should
be invoked to stop the outrage.
