BARKIs Is W1LLIN'.

Ex-Vice- President Levi p. Morton has
reached home, and, while he says he is
still considering" the acceptance Of
the nomination for Governor. there is no
doubt that he will take 1t IL he can
get 1t.
The question Is whether the other
Baritis, which his name Is Plat, Is also
willing. That political boss moves in n
mysterious way his wonders to perform.
II Morton Is named. II will be for his
Doodle. and II as much money cannot be
obtained elsewhere, no doubt he will
carry Off the prize.
But how can 1t be told what Is away
down In Boss Platt's mind? The Milhol-
land original idea was the advancement
Of Whitelaw Reid, and fathers-in-law
who have millions are sometimes eager
In the cause OF their sons-in-law.
Mr.. Morton may still have many OBJ

4 Delightful Incident.

To the Editor:
was riding in the Third avenue IL" this
morning. when two young ladies'. evidently
about eighteen years, entered at One Hundred
and Sixth street. They sat down In two vacant
seats with the air Of well-bred girls. At Eighty
ninth street an old woman. evidently about
eighty or eighty-two years. entered, and as there
were vacant seats to be had she stood. as II
happened before these young ladies. And would
you believe It. not man In that part Of the
offered the old woman a seat. She stood
but . while. when the fairer Of these two ladies
arose and offered her seat with ell-bred
courtesy. She thanked the girl, and after Q
while asked her where Wall street was She an
swered with a smile. She would be pleased to
show her, az abe was going to pass through
that street. At Hanover Square she assisted the
old woman to alisht. also to descend the stairs
My curiosity was aroused to such extent
that followed them. They stopped at the Sea-
mems Bank. and there In the open street the
old woman took the young lady Ia complete
strangely In her arms embraced her and kissed
her hand. After the young lady left her she
walked up Wall street. with face that showed
she was happy for what she had done.

single Beds are Best.

One thing upon which all medical au-
thorities are agreed, Is that children
should not habitually sleep with adults
That the custom is extremely harmful
to the children Is evident, even though
our limited knowledge Of the mysteries
of life may not enable US to demonstrate
In Just what manner the electrical or
nervous forces may be affected. Does
this apply to the babes? Certainly, af-
ter the first few days, during which
the child should be kept close to its
mothers body for the sake Of the
warmth which Is desirable. But within
q few days the little body Is capable Of
supplying its own warmth. and its place
Is then in the little bed or crib, where 1t
may be master Of Its own field. Above
all things, avoid the habit which many
parents have Of placing the child be-
tween them In the same bed; to say
nothing of the danger Of heavy sleeper
rolling upon the tiny form. the sanitary
condition Is about the most harmful
imaginable.

MISS INNOCENCE ABROAD"

Miss Fanny Rice, a most untiring per-
son, who Affects big sun bonnets. sings
Juvenile songs and INDUCES In a perpet-
ual series OF expansive and far-reaching
dental smiles, opened the season at the
Bijou Theatre, Saturday might, In new
"comedy-farce" called Miss Innocence
Abroad" adapted from the French by
+. c. Phillips and Charles Brookfield.
and arranged--or disarranged-for the
American stage. by Edward Paulton.
The broth, It will thus be seen. was dial
lied with by number Of cooks, and the
proverbial result of such dalliance was
most evident.
Miss Innocence Abroad" that started
in to satirlze the matrimonial bureau
business, and started in well, with
bright dialogue and some clever cpl
grams, went to pieces before the first
act was ended, and resolved itself into
the disconnected. illogi al and irrelevant
medley with which We are all. alas! but
too familiar. The thread of the story
got itself into a hopeless sort OF
tangle, from which il was never suffered
to emerge, and save FOR Miss Rce's va
riety specialties the evening was Insult
feraby dull. IL Phillips had been left
acne we might have Jared better. for
the author OF "As In Lookir Glass"
could not be stupid II he tried. Mr..
Paulton, however, was admitted, to dis
arrange the thing FOR the American
stage, and ne did II. The piece cannot
be analysed. 1t is in three acts, and
Miss Rice plays the part OF supposedly
unsophistlcated maiden. She appears in
10. In, Iali .a
while her fingers are plunged knucke-
deep in diamond rings. 1t seems to be
an unwrtten law that a feminine star
must wear diamonds-that there Is some
thing sordid. squalid and trivial In the
idea OF lady who doesn't glisten.
That being the case, she should never
appear as an unsophisticated maiden.
ii Is quite unnecessary. There are peo-
pie who are troubled by such petty de-
tails as logic. though they get precious
little of 1t In farce comedy.
Miss Rice, however, Is toning down a
little since the days OF "A Jolly Sur
prise" She doesn't change her dress
every five minutes, and, in fact. she
wore but three gowns. That Is some
thing to be thankful for. She Is not de-
void of certain kind of cleverncss. Her
imitation of Chevalier Is exceedingly
good and her mimicry quite commenda-
Bile. In fact, she did a good variety
turn" In the third act, but you had to
wait long time before you reached It,
The lady's humor IL trife odd. When
she wants to be funny she turns on II
sort OF nasal intonation that is bewilder-
ing Her merriment is of the nose, nosey.

The free doctors maintained by this

Keep the Feet Dry.

Keeping the feet dry is of quite az
much Importance In Summer as In Win
ter, although many persons do not
seem 20 realize this. In the country,
especially, where SO many seek breath
of air these hot days, in the heavy dews
of morning and evening the shoes get
damp and suffer seriously, even though
the heath may not. 1t Is worth while
TO keep strict lookout as to the COW
erings of the children's feet IN partic-
ular. When they take Off their shoes at
night 1t is well to have an old stocking
full or dry oats or beans. Put thea
into the shoes, tie a string around the
stocking just at the ankle and set the
shoes away for the night. The grain
will not only drawn out the moisture.
but will keep the shoes in shape without
allowing them to shrink. There is moth
ing more uncomfortable than to put on
damp and soggy shoe leather. and with
forethought and precaution 1t Is entirely
unnecessary.
