And observe the miners ton is 2, 400

THE BABY HAS TRAVELLED.

Little Girl Only Two Years Old Has Been
Almost Around the World.
There is baby living at 93 Bremen
street that has spent the greater portion
Of its brief existence Oh railroad trains
and on steamships. 1t has practically
circumnavigsted the world and has been
an unconscious participant in several ad-
ventures and one romance, and as mat
ters are shaping may expect to do more
travelling at an early date.
Over two years ago Herman @. Liske-
man and his young wife started from
Berlin to this country to better their con-
dition. On the way over girl baby was
born to them, and the little ones advent
was duly honored on board the steamer.
Liskeman shortly after his arrival in
New York was stricken with typhoid
fever and dfd. The widow thereupon
went to relatives who have farm near
Los Angeles. Three months In the glori-
Gus climate partially restored Mrs. Liske-
mans health and spirits. She then ac-
cepted an invitation from friends at San
Francisco. While there she was intro
duced to Captain John Bancroft, master
of ship that traded between the Golden
Gate and Sydney. The sailor saw, loved,
proposed and was accepted, and when
his ship, the Water Witch. next set sail
southwark his bride and his little step
daughter were on board.
At Sydney Captain Bancroft received
instructions to sail for the Brazils. The
baby in the meantime was thriving on
sea air and fare. The Water Witch pro-
ceeded to one of the Amazon ports, and
while there Mrs. Bancroft caught yellow
fever and died in few hours. In spite
Of the loss Of its mother the baby grew
and waxed fat. Captain Bancroft Law
ished on it all the love of a real father.
The Water Witch next sailed for Liver
pool; thence went to Mediterranean
port, returning to New York a year since.
Captain Bancroft left the ship at that
port and proceeded overland to Seattle,
Wash, the babe being with him. On the
way and when near Salt Lake City the
train was wrecked by washout, but the
child and its guardian escaped unharIu-
ed. A little later Bancroft was appoint
ed commander Of ship that trades In
the gulf Of Mexico. He took the little
one with him, but realizing that the
climate might injure its health sent it
north to the friends who now have it IN
charge in this city at the address given.
