BABY RUTH NOT BRIGHT.

The Arkansas City "TraveIer' Explains
Its Story About the Presidents Child.
ARKANSAS CITY, May 24.-The Travel
er, which some time ago published
statement that Baby Ruth, the eldest
child of President and Mrs. Cleveland,
was deaf mute, has the following to
say in confederation and explanation of
the story:
The day following the publication of
the report in the Traveller, kilograms and
letters began to pour in from the cities
named, asking for all the information at
our command. The desired information
was given, and a searching investigation
in the east by newsgatherers, shows that
what was stated in these columns at that
time is unfortunately too true. In evil
dence of this is given below statement
of the facts received from Washington
and from sympathizing friends of the
president and his wife:
Baby Ruth is not wholly deaf and
dumb, but the tender little girl has not
been blessed by nature with all the tai
ents which render life enjoyable and
bright. Everything that science and
skill can do for her is being done.

WINFIELD, May 24-Winfeld's new
creamery has been completed. There
are over 500 creameries in Kansas but
this is the largest west of St Louis, the
next largest being at Abilene. The
building is 48x60 and is frost proof.
The main room where the churning is
done, is 48x32 feet In this room are
four large yats of six hundred gallons
capacity each, and four large churns of
four hundred gallons each, together with
tanks, troughs, piping and machinery
necessary to run the business.
The process of butter making is to
temper the milk in the large six hun
dred gallon watts, which is done by a
process of water and steam. When the
cream is ready for the churn it is con-
Quoted to the large four hundred gallon
churn by piping.
The capacity is ten thousand pounds
per day and as the average quality of
milk will make four pounds of butter to
the hundred pounds of milk, this will
furnish a market for twenty five hun
dred pounds of milk daily, and is a grand
thing for the farmers and dairymen.

HAS HILL GIVEN IN?
Senator German Said All DemocrA
Would support Tariff BIN.

Senator German Said All Democrats
Would support Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator Cor
mans practical assurance in his speech
yesterday that the Democratic party in
the senate was now united in support of
the tariff bill has led to a renewal of
speculation as to the attitude of Senator
Hill. There is difference of opinion as
to whether Mr.. German meant to include
Senator Hill on the list of supporters or
to create the impression that the bill
would have the support of the Demo-
cratic majority without Hill's assistance;
but it is considered probable by those
high in the councils of the Maryland
senator that he had assurance that the
bill would have the support of Mr.. Hill
when the final test should come.
MIR. Hill has said since his return from
New York that he would not offer any
opposition to the tariff features of the
bill, which is taken to mean that while
he is still unrecOnciled to the income
tax, he is disposed to accept the other
parts Of the bill as the best obtainable
and concentrate his opposition upon the
income tax.
Members of the finance committee
say that this provision will be retained
at all hazards, and they are beginning to
think that Mr.. Hill will accept the bill
in the end with this provision in its mod
flied form.
Mr. Hill yesterday voted against laying
the bill on the table but that vote was
without special significance except that
it indicated that the New York senator
thought that the effort to secure tariff
Legislation should not be abandoned.
When asked whether he cared to say
anything aprOpos of Mr.. German speech
Mr.. Hill replied that he did not desire to
talk about it at all

town of Mount Vernon, Ills. OF course
when little Gertie Cochran was born
her mother and father were sure that
she was the brightest and prettiest
baby that had ever come to the home of
fond parents, but when the little one
began at months old to lisp words and
sentences they were enthusiastic, for
who ever before heard of baby begin.
ming to speak when only months old?
When the child was year old, her
mother noticed that she repeated words
and sentences that were said in her
hearing and could remember for days
and weeks and months the things that
she had heard
AS little Gertie Cochran grew older
her speech became palmer; her memory
also gained. She could repeat long SEN
tences and big numbers. Her mother
found that the child could store away
anything she heard and repeat it when
asked, though the words she repeated
could not possibly convey any impress
sion to her intellect.
The mother saw in this unusual gift
way to add to the scanty income Of
the family, and last year she took her to
the county fair in the neighborhood of
her residence and also to the town in
the vicinity and had her stand among
a crowd of people and answer questions
Then the mother would take up a col
lection from the people who listened to
the big answers piped SO readily from
the little lips.
One day a man who had been in the
theatrical business for years happened
to stand on street corner In one of the
little towns near Mount Vernon and to
hear the child answering the questions
Here's find, said the theatrical
man, whose name is Cook in the Ian.
guage that theatrical men use, and he
made contract by which little Gertie
was to travel with him all over the
country and show to big audiences her
remarkable memory. Ever since last
Christmas the child has been on the
stage, answering all kind of questions
that mean nothing TO her except that
she has been told some words TO say
when certain words are said TO her
The everyday events Of life remain as
steadfast in her memory as the statistics
and the names she repeats when before
