DANGER OF FOLDING BEDS.
In 1901 Fifty-six Children Lost Their
Lives in These Traps.
sFrom The NctO York Evening Sun.

aFror the Keto York EUenino Sun.
The folding bed has been the subject Of
many bad jokes and perhaps few good
ones, but it has not been seriously looked
upon as a danger TO the lives Of young
children. Yet case occurred yesterday,
which might easily be repeated, Of a child.
9 months old, being smothered in folding
bed without the. faintest appreciation on
the part Of the parson who closed the bed up
that any child was there.
The case is so ordinary and so common
place that 1t Is surprising that similar acoi-
dents do not occur every day. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcdonald live at 462 West Fifty
second street Mr.. Mcdonald is a CON
tractors foreman. The couple have three
children now, aud until yesterday had four
Mrs, Mcdonald has had a cousin, named
Alics McAloon. living with her for some
time past. Yesterday about noon the
9-months-old baby was fretfuL Mrs. Nc
Donald rocked IL to sleep and then placed it
in the open folding bed IN another room, re-
turning at once TO her work in the kitchen.
Az soon as Mrs. Mcdonald returned to the
kitchen Alice went to make up the beds, as
she had been in the habit OF doing She
saw nothing In Mrs. McDonalds folding
bed and closed il up without a thought
Half an hour efterward she asked for the
baby and Mrs. Mcdonald told her where
she had put IL. There was a scream and an
explanation, and tho baby was found suffo-
Gated 30 death.
Has all the experiences of past ages gone
for naught in such mattersl Cradles were
invented TO keep infants out Of the danger
of being smothered In bed Yet in the year
1891 fifty-six children persisted in this way
in New York city. has the habit Of using
cradles gone oue OF fashion, and is there
any good medical reason for 1T A cbild's
cot or cradle, devoted always TO O certain
use, acquires something OF the ohild's at
mosphere, and the most callous woman will
examine IL with care in order to make sure
that the baby is OUT Of IT, Cradles have two
very obvious 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 monstrosities that the
ingenius peddlers from Connecticut keep
persusding the other inhabitants of the
United States are the only things required
TO turn life from misery to happiness.
An Objectionable feature OF these folding
beds comes out In this case IN the readiness
with which they can be slammed together
without proper airing and making over.
The old-fAshioned style OF bed Is perfectly
ventilated by virtue OF its construction. IL
will not look neat unless properly made
over. 1t is much to be feared that many Of
these labor and space saving devices are as
bad from a sanitary as they ara from an
Bsthetic point OF view. The plain virtues
OF cleanliness and order are apt to prefer
the plain comforts OF beds that cannot be
made In an instant by shutting them up.

A FAIR HAND at THE LEVER.
West Virginia's Woman Engineer to
Help open the Worlds Fair.
From the PhfI4deLDhf0 Prem

CAIRO, w. Va, Feb. 19.-Miss Ida Hew-
lit, who is known as the only female loco
motive engineer In the world. has been en-
gagged by the lady commissioners Of the
worlds fair TO run the first train over the
grounds on the opening day Of the exposi-
ton. She has made all Der arrangements
and will leave here for Chicago about q
week before the opening. Miss He witt has
had an elaborate and unique wardrobe pre-
pared for her use during the fair, one of the
notable costumes being that Of Spanish girl
of the fourteenth century, which she will
wear on the engine during her first trip.
She is pretty girl, OF a pronounced bFu-
nette type, and the costume is wonderfully
becoming.
Speaking of Miss Hewitt, one OF the worlds
fair commissioners, who visited her here,
said: Il think this young woman will
prove one OF the great attractions of the
fair, especially to those interested in ma
chineTY and the work woman can do In
the world. She is as modest and maidenly
as any young woman have ever met, and
the one cross Of her life is the notoriety her
success as an engineer has thrust upon her.
The commissioners had much trouble in in
ducing her TO run the engine at the fair, as
she shrank from appearing as a sort Of
freak" before the many people whom she
knew would be there. OF course every
thing will be done to make her stay In
Chicago pleasant and profitable, and the
girl will not be permitted to regret her ap-
peaTsnce at the far"
A proposition was made some time ago to
Miss Hewitt to become a member of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers. She
naively replied that, while she could not
find it in her heart TO attempt becoming
brother to them, she would be q sister as
long as she lived.
The road on which Miss Hewitt learned
her business and on which she is now run
ming regularly, is known as the Cairo aud
Little kanawha, and is a feeder Of the Bal
timore and Ohio at Cairo from the lumber
districts lying back from the railroad In
that vicinity. 1t Is largely owned by the
father Of the young woman, who is a man
of prominence and wealth. The calling
this girl saw at to adopt has not unsexed
her IN the least She is known as "A model
housekeeper, and is thoroughly we'll up in
all the little details Of that kind, to which

HAYGOODA BLUE BLOOD.
TIE ATLANTA BIGANGIST NOT ONE
OF THE COMMON HERD.

he Is Cousin of Ex-Gov. Haygood
of the Palmetto state and Related
TO Other Prominent Families-Bis
First Vie Wealthy and Says She
VIII Stick to Him.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 21.-Maj. G. A.
Haygood. a native South Caroluian and
first cousin of ex-Gov. Haygood Of the
Palmetto state, was arrested at his residence,
on Forest avenue, tonight az o'clock, on
warrant sworn out in Charleston yesterday
by james Beaudrot, father Of Mamie Beau
drot, whom Haygood married last summer,
having al the time of the marriage another
wife living. Hsygood is genuine major
of the confederate army, bearing honorable
wounds received in the battles Of Virginia
under Gen. Lse. He is a scion OF one of the
best and most aristocratic families Of South
Carolina, and when arrested tonight gave
the police letters Of introduction TO several
of the most prominent men in Atlanta, two
bearing the signature OF Gen. Bill. While
man Of 60 years, Haygood would attract
attention anywhere on account Of bis IN
commonly handsome appearance. He lives
in luxurious style, and is reported 10 be a
devotee to the gambling table. Haygood
knew OF the arrival OF his Charleston wife
in the city, and when arrested tonight
made no attempt to deny the charge of
bigamy. He married the young woman, he
said, last July, as she had stated to Chief Of
Police Connolly, in Charleston, her home.
HAYGOOD's EXPLANATION.
He explains his possession of the two
wives by the statement that his Charleston
marriage was performed while he was
under the influence OF liquor, being addicted
20 the use Of narcotics as q result of the
wounds received at the second Manassas.
He will return TO Charleston tomorrow
without a reQuisition, aud will fight the
case in the courts unless wife No. , is will
ing to drop the matter. Mrs. Havgood, the
elder, or No. /, whom the gallant major
married in Chicago, is exceed
ingly handsome and wealthy, hav-
Chicago merchant when the major
came upon the scene eight years ago. She
is devoted to him, and will stand by him to
the end, she says, holding her purse ready
70 help him. Mrs. HsYgood No. g the
Charleston wife, is now determined to
prosecute the man who deceived her. James
Beaudrot, her father, accompanied by her
mother, arrived in Atlanta tonight with
the warrant upon which the arrest was
made. Until Mr.. Beaudrot arrived Chief
Connolly had repeatedly declined to arrest
Haygood upon the application of wife No.
2 He doubted the truth of her story as
related previously, believing that she
was an adventures because she was pretty
and talked sauciy. She was also possessed
of very fat roll of bills, which fact was
held to her discredit by the police at first,
her parents being poor people. This money
the young wife, however, accounted for to-
night by admitting that she had sold pair
Of Haygood's fine horses In Jacksonville Just
after the discovery of his duplicity.

A BABY's PECULIAR PLIGHT.
An Orange Seed In His Wiudpipe
Begins to Sprout.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore american.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1S. - Babies do
many queer things. but little 2-year-old
Joseph Virgins, Jr.. OF No. 2O26 Mountain
street, best the record the other day, when
be swallowed an orange seed and at once
proceeded TO grow the sprout Of a fine
Florida orange tree in his throat. This was
uncomfortable, Of course, and the expsri-
ment would have proved disastrous for
baby Joseph but for the kindly interven-
ton Ct doctors.
It was on Monday that the little boys
mother gave him an orange, after care-
fully preparing it for him. Unfortunately,
however, one seed remained in the pulp,
and this seed became lodged in the baby's
windpipe, almost Instantly causing a slight
difficulty In breathing
Little attention was paid to the matter at
first, but on Tuesday the child's breathing
became more painful, and was constantly
accompanied by slight choking. Drs H.
X. Wharton and J. P. Tunis were called 10,
and informed by the mother that the trouble
was caused by some of the orange pulp.
The usual remedies were applied, and some
relief obtained, but on Wednesday night
the condition OF the child became serious.
After a careful examination, the physi-
clans decided that the only means of saving
the little sufferers life was to perform
tracheotomy. On Thursday this was UNDER
taken and a long incision was made In the
neck, opening the wiudpipe. At the point
where the latter joined the lungs a hard
substance was detected deeply imbedded in
mucus. When removed it proved to be an
extraordinarily large orange seed. The
wound was closed up and dressed, and yes
terday the boy was on the road to recovery.
The seed was in particularly dangerous
position, and would undoubtedly have
faN I'D eat nnf IN in No.
While lodged In the throat the heat had
caused 1t TO open at one end and to sprout
slightly. 1t was also swollen greatly be-
yond its original size.
