An infant Phenomenon.

A real infant phenomenon keeps all
the medical men and pedagogues of the
good old town of Brunswick in a state
of wonder and delight. The little son
Of local butcher, baby just 2 years
cid, can read with perfect ease anything
written or printed in German or Latin
characters. A few weeks ago three
Brunswick doctors had the baby intro
duced to them Mt the house of one of the
learned gentlemen. The first thing the
little one did when brought into the
consulting room was to stand on his toes
at the table, reading out from the books
that were lying about. When Is months
old, the baby liked books and newspa-
pers better than lollipops and toys, and
whatever the parents playfully told him
he remembered, with the result that,
at the age of 2 years, he reads with per-
feet ease. Westminster Gazette.

Struck Rock.

The Davis Company has completed
its labors of boring for rock on the
public building site. at the corner of
Sixteenth street and Second avenue
Eight holes were bored, one at each
corner and the other four at inter.
mediate points. Seven of the holes
produced rock at depth of between
10 and IL feet, but the hole bored
on the southeast corner did not pro.
duce any rock until it was sunk Pa
feet below the surface. At a depth
OF about II feet gravel was struck,
and after going through this for
about four feet fire clay of the hard.
est kind was found for a depth OF
fully six feet. 1t is the opinion OF
Mr.. Davis that it is not an impossi.
bile matter to build upon the fire clay
as it is nearly as hard as the rock.

Governor Peck of Wisconsin Saws q Good
Word For His Opponent.
Major Bill Upham, the Republican
nominee for governor, was the first out
slider to put in an appearance at Phil
lips, the little town that has just been
obliterated by fire. Walking among the
ruins, he met the postmaster of the place.
Whats become of your coat?'" asked
Upham. ''Egad, lost it in the fire, ~
said the postmaster. Il haven't got q
stitch Of clothes except such as l have on
now
Bill whipped off his coat in a second.
''Take my coat, says he. "I've got ar
other at home. Take it, and when you
get through with it pass it along to
some other fellow that needs it. -
An hour later Governor Peck arrived
at Phillips, and the postmaster was tell
ing him how Bill Upham had made him
take and wear his coat, while he bill
was going around in his shirt sleeves.
"Yes, that's just like BILL" said
Peck. He has probably given away
his shirt by this time, and his panta-
looms, and his shoes and socks Bill
never stands around and lets other peo-
pie suffer when he can help 'em. The
chances are that by the time he gets
ready to quit this place he'll have to
walk to the train III u barrel
This incident illustrates very fairly
the kindly feeling that exists between
the two gubernatorial candidates. TIC

Sc, 500 Worth Of Diamonds and
Railroad Bonds Stolen.
Thief Captured I'm Hackcnsack and
the Jewclry Recovered.

CHERRY HILL, N. j.. July 2.-One
of the boldest daylight robberies that
ever occurred in Bergen County took
place here this morning In the house of
Frank r. Chinook, an electrical con-
tractor for Thomas A. Edison. Of New
ark.
Mr.. Chinook lives In pretty cottage
near the Cherry Hill station on the New
Jersey and New York Railroad. About
one week ago Mr.. Chinook went to an
intelligence office In New York to hire a
female servant. and picked out a fair
looking woman about thirty years old.
who gave the name of Annie Frank and
presented a number Of references from
different places where she had worked.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chinook put so much
confidence in her that they took their
baby and went out for a drive on Sun
day afternoon to Fort Lee and left the
girl In charge Of the house. When they
got back at 8 o'clock the girl told Mrs.
Chinook she would like to 20 to New
York In the morning after her trunk,
and said she wanted to go on the early
train, SO she could get back early,
Mrs. Chinook advised the girl to
wait until the IL o'clock train this noon.
After breakfast this morning the girl
did not come in to clear away the
dishes. and Mrs. Chinook went to the
kitchen to hook for her. but she was
not to be found in the house.
1t then occurred t. Mrs. Chinook that
she had not been able to find the key to
her bureau drawers upstairs on Saturday
and Sunday.
She rushed upstairs to make a search
and found them all unlocked and ran
sacked. All her jewelry, consisting of
brooches. all valued at $3.50. were miss
ing, and a number OF railroad bonds Of
the WATERFOWL Railroad. belonging to
her husband were also gone.
Mrs. Chinook hastened to the rail-
road depot and inquired Of Station
Agent Cleveland II he had seen anything
of the missing servant girl. and was
told he had not.
Agent Cleveland telegraphed de-
scriptiCn of the girl to the agent at
Cherry Hill. which is about two miles
away, and was told she had taken the
down train from there. due at Cherry
Hill at 9.2s o'clock.
Mr. Chinook took the train at Cherry
Hill and found the girl on board. She
got of the train at Central avenue,
Hackensack, where Mr.. Chinook ac-
cused her of the theft and searched her.
and found the stolen jewelry on her
person. with the exception Of two of
the bonds, numbered 20 and 81.

II do not believe ,Ldt any Marin mas be-

opinion that she sailed from Havre for
Marseilles."
