as can be imagined. He is taken to the
nursery, where he is dressed in
clothing provided for him, and, that
his identity may not become lost, the
name of the mother is sewn on the
sleeve of his dress, so that it is an easy
matter to avoid the predicament of
Buttercup, who "miXed those babies
mp with such disastrous results.
The infants are not allowed to re-
main with the mothers in the wards,
but every two hours is mealtime in the
nursery, and the midgets are then car
ried out and placed in the hands of their
''mammas," as the nurses say, for nour-
ishment They are always returned
punctually, and tucked away in their
little cribs, where they fall into dose.
Such a thing as crying baby at the
hospital is a rarity. One of the most
wonderful features of the institution
IS the submission to discipline on the
part of the little strangers. Promptly
at the expiration of two hours, how
ever the visitor, if he watches, may
see a long row of baby eyes open al
most simultaneously. 1t is lunch time
again, and they are the first to know
it. 81 can never understand" said the
head nurse, chow those little fellows

Infant management by this time,
''those babies are tucked away al
eleven o'clock every night, and until

seemed to regard it as marvellous, and
probably other mothers will agree with
her. The babies, however, II they grow

Mr.. Guy V. Collins completed the exer-
cises with recitation entitled Horace
Greeley's Ride to Placerville," and, with the
only humorous number on a program of
oratorlcal and dramatic effects, caught the
popular taste, responding to an enthusiastic
encore with an initiation of that sterling
comedian Stuart Robson.
The exercises were interspersed with pa
trtotic hymns by the choir. under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Percy 8. Foster. The tabernacle
was decorated with flags and green boughs
and filled to Its capacity by an enthusiastic
audience. which departed well pleased with
the manner In which the Y. NJ. &. A. had

fathers warnings, he kept along close up.
As MIR. Holiday was nearing the end of
the held. he made a full swing of the cradle
and felt the implement. touch the boy. He
dropped 1t with a thrill of horror, and
turned suddenly, expecting to see his boy
mortally wounded This was not so, the
boy escaping without injury, but the shock
was so great to father and son that they
left the field and went to the house, upon
reaching which Mrs Holiday noticed the
pallor of her husband and his increas sing
nervousness. After supper. however, Mr..
Holiday returned to the field to resume
his work. He picked up the cradle. made
one cut and dropped dead. The deceased

ARMOR PLATE ALL RIGHT.
Upper Halves Withstand the BalIistic
Test.


Test.
The Carnegie Steel Company has received
a communication from Washington Official
ly notifying 1t of its vindication through the
ballistic test of the upper halves Of certain
armor plates which had previously been
condemned
The company officials yesterday expressed
confidence that the plates on the war ves-
sells made at the Homestead plant will be
found all right when subjected to a balls-
tic test under the fire Of an enemy's gun
The company officials say that they are
very well satisfied with The vindication
which has been afforded them. The only
official statement made by the company
since the armor plate stories were set
afoat was that all the plates furnished the
government were fully UP to the specifica-
lions.
The company may demand a return of the
fine OF $4,000. which they paid to the gov
eminent after having been assessed by the
president Chairman H. c. F'rick refuses to
discuss this feature of the matter
A statement from high official Of the
company backs up the position taken by
ex-Superintendent Kline of the armor plate
mill. Kline said that the government in
spectors had been kept in the dark because
they could not have understood certa in
parts or the treatment of plates and would
probably have misconstrued them.
The Carnegie Company insisted, 1t was
learned yesterday. on a ballistic test of the
upper halves of the plates where lower
halves had been retrea ted. The COMPANY
has, in addition, urged the government to
apply the same test to any plates in the
three series 70 which the tested plates be-
long.
The company stood ready to abide BY the
result Of this test irrespective OF former
tests. 1t Is not probable that any other
plates in these series will be fired at, how
ever. The official Of the company referred
to laid stress on the statement that the pub
lie could feel assured that the Carnegie ar
NOR on the completed war vessels was Of
first quality,
