window castings are very low and the child
in some manner managed to scramble on
to the window sill and fall to the verandah
three stories below, then rolled and fell to
the ground, where George Lawler was
cleaning his horses. Mr. Lawlor was SO
stunned at sight of the child that he was
unable to move and the terrified mother,
who Immediately missed the child, rushed
down and carried it into the house. Doc
tors Frenzy, O'Connor, Gay and Crane were
summoned and found the child suffering
from two depressed fractures of the skull.
Nothing could be done to save the little

The Bostons have a happy faculty of
losing the first game in each city, and then
winning all of the others.
1t is said that Haddock is booked for re-
lease by Philadelphia, and that, too, with
out pitching in single game.
McAleer. the brilliant center fielder of
the Clevelands, is laid up with a lame
knee, and Virtue is taking his place.
Jerry Denny appears to be right in line
again. His work on Louisville's third bag
so far this season has been far above the
stan lard.
Umpire Lynch has the right idea and
the backbone to enforce it. He says that
hereafter he will talk only to the cal plains.
Just think of it German, who was re-
garded as rival with Rusie and Meekin

1t would seem as though too many
league games this season have been trans
formed into scolding matches. A little
wholesome discipline by the umpires
would remedy the business.
President Won der Abe is liable to a fine
of $3.50 for playing the Milwaukees last

CONNoR's FINE PLAY.
Ward Says He VIII Keep the Big Fellow

Ward Says He Will Keep the Big Fellow
on First base Despite Dire ctor
Wheeler's Protest.
The question of authority between
Manager Ward and Director Wheeler, says
the Sun, has been temporarily settled.
Ward declares that he is the manager of
the New York team, and that, contrary to
Mr. Wheeler's wishes, he will retain Roger
Conner on first base. Ward thinks it I'M
just % condemn Roger for little i'll luck
and believes it would be foolish move to
lay the big fellow off. Manager Ward de-
serves credit for asserting his rights. He
receives big salary to handle the team
and is competent to go along without as
sistance.
Mr. Wheeler concluded yesterday that to
remain away from the games until his
plans were adopted would rob him of con-
siderable pleasure so he went up to the
polo grounds prepared to see Conner play
a weak game. Imagine then, the director
feelings, when Old Waterbury played
magnificent first base and slugged the ball
hard enough to send in three of the home
teams four runs Roger was up to his
ears in the game, and the 1000 cranks
wouldn't have substituted Doyle for him if
the ending of the. world depended on il.
Conner was warmly applauded when he
came to the bat in the second inning,
Roger drove long, hard liner to Thomp-
son, and retired. His superb running
catch of Boyle's foul in this inning, which,
by the way, was made directly in front of
Mr. Wheeler's box, reused the enthusiasm
of the crowd, but it was nothing to the
universal insanity that prevailed when,
with two men on bases in the third inning,
Roger smashed out a rip-roaring three
Dagger. Again, in the ninth inning, he
came to Van Haltren's rescue with time
~ base hit, on which New York's last run
was scored. Conner is all right. If he is
let alone he will hit we'll as anybody.
All he needs is encouragement.

Necessity of Vaccination.

The state board of health has issued a
circular on the remarkable prevalence of
smallpox and the frequent outbreaks of the
disease in Connecticut, calling on the
people to provide for vaccination, espec-
tally in school and town authorities to
provide free vaccination, which is de-
clared to be a more affective means of pro-
lection than anything else known to man.

SOUTH GEORGIA POLITICS.
Candidates Preparing to Make Raid
Upon the Offices

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 12.-Politics in the
Eleventh congressional district win be
interesting in the coming campaign. 1t is
probable that South Georgia will be the
center of the Georgia campaign. The
majority of the people of this section
heartily indorse Gen. Evans for governor,
and the name Of Henry G. Turner for the
United States Senate is on every
body's lips That MIR. Turner will be in
the race for the Senate is certain, and his
friends are confident of his success.
Thus it appears that Mr. Turner will
not be a candidate to succeed himself in
the House. In this event the congress
sional race in this district promises TO be
interesting. II is evident that Mr. w. c.
Brantly, solicitor general of the Bruins
wick circuit, will be in the race for con
gress, if he listens to the solicitations of
of his friends. Judge J. L. Sweat is
being mentioned as a probable candidate
for congress, although it is understood
that he is a candidate for reelection
for Judge of the Brunswick judicial dis
trict. Should Judge Sweat retire from
the judgeship and enter the congressional
race, he would be literally supported,
and it is very probable that Mr. Brantly
would not enter the race in that event.
There is q rumor that the friends of
Judge Sweat will urge him to enter the
race. Leon A. Wilson will probably be a
candidate for the state Senate AS yet
no names have been mentioned in connec-
Cion with the legislature

This information is published for what
1t is worth. Although it comes from
regular correspondents of the MORNING
News who are not personally interested
IN large or small supply, there will be
great many, especially among buyers,
who will not credit the statement. A
prominent exporter remarked yesterday
that he would consider a small estimate
OF cotton at stations and plantations as
misleading, if published, believed there is
much more cotton in the country than
would be reported. 'Especiallyis it true
with sea island cotton" he continued, Il
expect that before the season closes there
Will come in sight at least 1000 bales
more than have already been received :"
On the other hand, the factors readily
credit the showing made, as they believe
the unusually heavy movement has depleted
the stocks at interior towns and planta-
tions, and that nearly all of the cotton
has been shipped.
Within the next day or two the MORN
ING News will receive replies from addi-
tional points. and the amounts will be
given, added to the figures above.

ing News Correspondents in Detail.
The MORNING News has received a
number of replies from correspondents
estimating the amount of cotton in the
territory tributary to Savannah. From
the estimaRS it will be seen that there is
1i++le cotton remaining at stations and on
n1antations. Replies from several CORES
noudents show that there is no cotton
at the stations or at plantations
in their section, it having been previous
ly marketed.
Of the total amount Of cotton at sta
tions and plantations in Georgia and
EIorida. nearly all of which is expected

are upland. and 1867 bales sea islands.

at Savannah, gives total OF Isl Dol bales,
of which 1863, 962 bales are upland, and IL,
839 are sea islands.
There is still number of points to be
heard from, which will probably increase
the invisible supply, but Judging from the
letters of correspondents who have in
ouired carefully into the situation, there
Is very small amount of cotton remain
ing in the country.
The reports of stock OF cotton at stations
and at plantations in bales are as follows;

Brunswick, Ca, Feb. 12.-The arrival
of the members of the state agricultural
society, which convenes here on Feb. IA,

BALLOTS FOR WOMEN.
A Bill on the Subject introduced in
the Lower House.

Washington, Feb 12.-Mr. Pence, pop,
of Colorado, offered in the House to-day a
bill proposing woman suffrage. The bill
differs somewhat from others presented
heretofore. 1t does not propose to amend
the constitution, but simply gives a
woman over the age of 81 the right to
register and vote at all elections for mem
bers of the House of Representatives, and
provides that the right shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or any
state.
A preamble to the resolution says that
the right to choose members of the House
of Representatives is vested by the con-
stitution in the people of the several
states, without distinction of sex, but
for want Of proper legislation heretofore
one half has been restricted from voting.
The bill is for the purpose OF correcting
this error and to give full effect to
the constitution. Some days ago
Mr.. Bell offered resolution amending
the constitution so as to give women
suffrage" 1t was referred to the Judi
ciary committee and reported adversely
The resolution of Mr.. Pence does not
amend the constitution and was sent to
the committee on election of president,
Vice President aud members of congress.

CARoLINA's WHISKY Law.
Judge Townsend of Berkeley Upholds
Its ConstitutionalitY.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 12.-In the court
in Berkeley county to-day, three parties
indicted by the grand jury for common
nuisance, under the dispensary act, were
acquitted by the petit jurors without
leaving their seats. Incidental to the
trial, the counsel for the defendants
moved to quash the indictments on the
ground that the dispensary act was I'M
constitutional Judge Townsend denied
the motion and made this statement: LAS
to the dispensary act being an act to raise
revenue, my construction of the law is
that the legislature did not intend
it should be an act TO raise
revenue. The revenue is only
incidental and so far as the facts show, it
is even now. after several months trial,
very doubtful whether there is to be
revenue or a loss to the state" Judge
Townsend also held that the state has
perfect right to pass any act that it sees
proper to pass which does not interfere
with any inalienable and inherent right of
a citizen, and that the state has a perfect
right to engage in any business of this
kind

From the Philadelphia Press

the vein jumped back into the subject s
arm.
The woman was dying, and young
Kemp begged the surgeons to hurry. For
twenty minutes Dr. Rand was compelled
to search for the vein. When the vein
was recovered the tube was inserted, and
for five minutes DR.. Kemp permitted his
own blood to flow in the woman's vein.
The woman Immediately improved
after receiving the surgeons blood. Her
case is yet such critical one that her
chances of recovery are very small. DR..
Kemp is recovering rapidly, although
