ed to ''shake of this mortal COLL
with an old blind bride few days

Mr.. Fulton is a good debater and
breaches the doctrine of the North

that his ''fait!l'' was insufficient to
keep him from attempting to commit
suicide.
& gentleman who lives not many
miles fron NJ. Fulton, says he (fnl-
toni would have doubtless committed
the crime had not his wife interfered
when she did. lie was found hanging
in the barn when Mrs. Fulton hap
pcaed to save his neck.
After cutting him down Mr.. Fulton
is quoted as asking his wife why she
did not let him alore, for in few
minutes he would have been walking
the golden streets of the New Jerusa-
lem.
Mrs. Futon was angry at her hus-
band's foolish attempt, and she is
quoted as replying to him as follows:
" es; you would look nice, walking
the golden streets, wearing blind
Uriule.''

BABIES AND INCUBATORs.
How Two Infants Were Kept Alive.
Curiosity.

New YORK, March 16-A baby
millionaire being warmed into life by
an incubator is the latest local social
and scientific curiosity. The child is
the daughter of e. Clarence Haight
and was born February oath, it's
mother dying a few hours after its
premature birth. The doctors in at
tendance resolved to try the expert
ment of nurturing the child by
artificial means. An incubator was
purchased and the child, which was
born three months prematurely, was
placed in it. The greatest possible
attention was bestowed upon the
child and it has thrived ever since.
The Incubator is nothing more nor
less than glass box. 1t is heated by
means of gas to few degrees over
100. The child reclines in the softest
of cottonwood swinging beds. The
utmost care is taken in changing the
air. A nurse takes the child out of
the case every few hours, but the air
even Of heated room is thought to
be too cold for it, and when not in the
case it is kept muf1led up in furs. A
diet of matted milk has been prescrib-
ed for the atom of humanity. 1t has
progressed so far now that it can open
its eyes and cry feebly when it needs
food.
Since it has been in the incubator
it has grown nearly an inch in
length and has, increased two pounds
in weight. Its respiration has been
regular and good. 1t is gaining in
strength all the time, and the family
physicians are hopeful that it will
live. The experiment with the incu-
bator was suggested by the success of
Il similar effort to prolong the life Of
Il boy made about a year ago with the
same sort of mechanical foster
mother. This boy is now nine months
old. At the time his mother gave
him birth he was eleven inches long
and weighed less than two pounds.
Now he is sturdy, healthy and bright,
and January last lie withstood
severe attack of pneumonia.

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco .5Ourn ais Review for the
Week Ending March 18th.

With the continuation of the re-
markably beautiful ''spelf" of March
weather, there have been busy times
on the farm and consequent lack of
heavy breaks on tue loose market.
Our receipts for this week have been
rather light. Single sales were run
and were over each day about three
O'Clock.
There is more request for bright
tobacco, and prices have advanced a
little. The offerings showed fair
proportion of bEights, which sold
well. Fine wrappers brC lght very
high prices, and are getting scarcer
and scarcer. In dark red tobacco no
improvement, is noticed. Common
keeps low. The receipts were about
equally divided between shipped and
Wagoued goods.
A good many more buyers were on
sales the past few days, and the bid
ding was spirited. The demand is
lively just now, and everything desir-
able brings all it is worth.
In the manufacturing line orders
are coming in at a good rate, and the
shipments daily are quite large.
The stamp sales since our last re-
mort ware sc follows.

THE DENVER MUDDLE.
UNITED STATES TROOPS ARE
STILL ON GUARD.
No Action Taken by the Citizens
Meeting Regarding Gov. Waite's
Alleged Insanity-Quiet Today.

Meeting Regarding Gov. Waite's
Alleged Insanity-Quiet Today.
DENVER, Col, March 17.-Every-
thing is quiet today. No action was
taken by the citizens meeting, held
last night, to consider the advisable
ty of proceeding against Gov. Waite
OH the question of his insanity.
A committee was appointed to call
upon General McCook and find out
wlas he proposed to do, and an
other committee to look up the luna
cy laws. The question of Iunacy was
sprung solely for the purpose of pre-
; venting the governor from proceeding
with the militia without the advice
of any one. 1t is an extreme act, on
ly to be attempted as last resort
Hon. Caldwell Yaman was at the
head of this matter.
United States troops are on guard
fearing trouble in connection with ST
Patrick's day celebration.
Late last evening the governor an
nounced that the proposition to sub
NIT to the Supreme Court the Gues-
tion of rightful claimants to the otfi-
ceS of commissioners would probably
be accepted by him, but. he wanted q.
little time to think over this.
He has not given his final decision,
nor has he issued his proclamation to
the people of the State, which he had
also promised. The militia is ready
to assemble at a moments notice
Their conduct yesterday on the street
has received much praise. Though
the mighty crowds pushed and jostled
them, scoffed at them, and OCCASION
ally poked a soldier in the ribs, they
stood throughout the seven hours
without making any had breaks. The
troops spent the night at the union
depot, but they occupied the
vacant Battle of Gettysburg building
on Champa street.
s'The troops will remain" said Gen
eral McCook, ''until all signs OF trou-
BILE are ended. We shall keep the
peace, prevent bloodshed and pre-
serve the federal property from at
tack. The men have ratiOns for elev-
en- days. Meanwhile we shall await
instructions from Washington
Governor Waite regrets having
called out the troops. He stated to
General McCook in the conference
that a man had told him that the
general had intimated that he was
ready to order cut the regulars when
the governor should call upon him for
the purpose Gen. McCook denied this.
He has fully shown his position, and
after long talk he satisfied the gov
ernor that he had been deceived.
