TOOK HER BABY FROM HER.
Made to Nurse Another Child and
Now Her Own Is Dying.
These Are Mrs. Bohena's Charges
Against a Maternity Hospital.

Mrs Anna Bohena, n cook, thirty FIVE
years old, makes charges against the
Sloane Maternity Hospital. Fifty-ninth
street and Tenth avenue.
She told an Evening World" reporter
to-day that after the birth OF her child
In the Maternity Hospital, on May 10
last, the nurses refused to allow her to
nurse It, but placed two-month- old
strapping big baby in her care instead.
Her own child, she declared, was fed
out OF bottle. so that several days
later, when her strange nurseling was
taken away and she was permitted to
nurse her own baby, the latter had
grown SO accustomed to the bottle that
1t refused to be fed any other way.
This has resulted, Anna said, In her
child's wasting away from big, bounc-
Ing. laughing-eyed baby to "A mere skele-
ton. SO delicate as to be liable to die at
any moment.
The child has. since last Monday, been
In the care of Mrs. Lena Simon, a nurse,
OF 237 East Fifty ninth street.
Mrs: Simon said that the child will
probably die. as 1t refuses absolutely to
1t alive. and seems to receive no nour-
ishment from the milk given from a
bottle.
Mrs. Bohena further said: "They came
near giving my baby to another woman.
Each baby has tag around it's wrist
for identification. The tag was taken
from my bat-y's wrist, and woman
who had not yet seen her own baby, or,
II she had. did not seem to recall its
features. was walking off with mine.

make any statement whatever concern

Requisites in a shopuirI.

Some one praised one Of the girl clerks
in large shop to the head of the de-
partment, saying that she was SO mod
est and SO pleasant, while SO obliging
that she seemed an ideal person for the
place. From your standpoint, yes,"
was the reply, but hardly from our
own. She has all the good points that
you mention, and which I agree the
perfect saleswoman could not be with
out. But she does not sell goods
enough to suit us. I mean, she does
not help people to make up their minds
and get them out of the way and
some one else in their places. The ideal
does that without pushing or forward
ness. You would scarcely believe how
dependent most customers are upon
others judgment, and how much quiet
assistance they require in order to fa-
cilitate business. The most valuable
clerk is that one who can render this
help without appearing to do anything
more than offer the stuff for others

wretched Rector Street.
To the Editor:


Permit me to say a few words regarding the
wretched condition OF Rector street and the sta
tions at that point on the Ninth avenue line. l
ride on that line generally twice daily, and my
most unpleasant experience OF the day is walking
from Greenwich street to Broadway and vice
versa. Talk about widening Elm street. there
would be more sense in widening Rector street
and repaving the sidewalks and street At pres
ent It is in a shameful condition It reminds
one OF the paving in certain parts OF the City
OF Churches and. taking 1t all in all. unless
something Is done would suggest changing the
same from Rector street to Rotten Alley. The
Rector street stations nothing better than
fire traps. 1t actually takes about FIVE minutes
to get from the station to the street on account
OF the number OF people who aiight at that point

such that we cannot go much better than single
