Went There to Get Patents-Hoped to
tion Kept Baby HaiGht Alive - Germ
Culture Appliances.
The man TO whom many little folks who
were born into the world too soon owe
their oxistepce Is dying of consumption In
Washington. He Is William G. Robinson.
In his little tinshop, at 3l5 East Twenty
sixth street, New York, several years ago
the idea came to him that the incubator,
which had relieved hens Of tho horrors of a
sedentary occupation, could be applied to
infants. So he told doctors about IL and
mado an incubator. A baby who is now
Joseph Greyort was tho first one to oc-
cupy it.
One day there camo call from the resi-
dence Of T.. Clarence Haight, n millionaire
of ESQ Madison avenue. Mr.. Robinson
brought his incubator. The waif he found
+-fcrc lag silent by the body of the mother,
who had died in giving it birth. 1t had
come into the world three months too soon.
With some rubber tubing Mr.. Robinson
connected the incubator with the gas fix
turc, and soon he had tho water well
heated, 50 a. to give the space inside the
temperature of the human body.
Then tho waif was placed on n swinging
bed Of cotton. The oven and the glass
doors were shut. The physicians and
nurses stood peering through the glass. In
two hours the physicians said there were
signs of life. The waif lived.
Since then an incubator of the Robinson
pattern has been placed in nearly every
hospital. 1t has saved many lives.
Mr.. Robinson also invented appliances
for making cultures OF disease germs. He
made large bacillus oven for a., Loomis
laboratory. 1t was so successful that In
the laboratory exhibit at the Worlds fair
ne was permitted 10 show duplicate of IL.
Like all inventors Mr.. Robinson is poor.
When he made his first incubator in his
little tinshop, he had no idea that there
was money In it for him. But when the
incubator was adopted generally he began
TO think. Finally he decided to have it
patented and reap his reward. He decided
also to apply for patent on his germ in
oubator, which had been highly praised by
physicians,
He left for Washington month ago and
filed his applications in the patent Office.
Al ho was about TO leave for New York no
was seized with n violent fit of coughing.
llo was taken to the house OF his sister.
Tho doctors said he had consumption.
Mrs. Robinson was called TO his bedside
two weeks ago, and she sent word to her
mLthcr, Mrs. Donnelly, that he could not
s.ryive much longer. He Is 80 years old
and has three children. New York World

The smouldering revolt on the part OF
the taxpayers OF Edgewood and Pawtuxet
has broksn out. The rebellion against the
authority OF the sovereign town OF Gran
ston is on. 1t looks like war 10 the
death and VIC thiuk the rebels will secure
a large share Of the sympathy and sup
port OF the people OF the free and inde-
pendent town OF Providence and that
these will afford such succor and aid as
the unwritten neutrality laws permit.
The rebels OF Edgewood and Pswtuxet
declare that they are tired OF further
allegiance to the authority OF Cranston,
and have no desire to become a part OF
any Crsnston city. They are not anxious
to become annexed to the fine munich
pality OF Providence, though this senti-
on the Goo Coos. They simply want to
get of and flock by themselves that their
taxes and neighborly effort may be de-
voted to the territory within the limits
OF their own bailiwick and that they may
govern their affairs, generally, ss recent
politics seem to have prevented them
from doing. And they do not take kind
ly to being a part of q municipality OF
Crsnston with no prospect, as they regard
it, OF anything better for Edgewood and
Pawtuxet than that section enjoys at
present.
There Is apparently something wrong
with the way things are run in the town
TO have thus driven our neigh in
Edgewood and Pawtuxet to open revolt
against the powers. The idea, embodied
in the setting apart OF the district OF
Narragsnsett from the town Of South
Kingstown, is something Of an anomaly
in Rhode Island political divisions, but
1t has worked very well in the one case
and the conditions as affecting Edgewood
and Pawtuxet. in the town OF Cranston
are not unlike those that prevailed In the
South County while the Edgenood and
Pawtuxet folk have the added incentive to
independence OF profound opposition to
the authorities that manage to hold on
to the government year after year.

TIE PRINCE OF WALES,

The Prince of Wales is said to be afflicted
with some strange disorder, which, accord
ing to the warnings of his physicians, may
take him off at any time and will surely do
so within a year. 1t would be sad to have
the Prince die after waiting so long to
occupy the British throne, and doubly
sorrowful to see Queen Victoria in her old
age bereft of her eldest son and of the
heir apparent to her crown.
Aside from this the death of the Prince
of Wales would create but small ripple
indeed in the sea of politics. He has never
occupied any defined place in England as
a statesman or as molder of the nation S
destinies. 1t is claimed by his English
apologists that he could not do so because
of his position as the probab bic successor to
the throne. But this pretense finds small
favor in an age when caste and station are
no excuse for the neglect of the unusual
opportunities they afford While the
Prince of Wales has been content to
live out his years with boundless op-
portunity but with barrenness of accom-
plishment, men of England of all
castles and classes have been doing
deeds which have brought great glory to
themselves and to their age There have
been aristocrats who have been statesmen
and scholars and philanthropists. There
have been Commoners who have outrivaled
the nobility in statecraft, in learning and
in philanthropy. The Prince of Wales has
been and is none of these. He has lived
high and has been always spendthrift.
He has made friends by the doubtful
policy of being a jolly good fellow. His
most redeeming merit lies in having given
to his country family of sons and daugh-
tiers, who, in the main, are an improvement
upon himself. If he should outlive his
royal mother and mount the British
throne it would only be to hold the scepter
In a feeble hand and let the men of Parlia-
ment, who are the kings of England, by
right OF brains, control its destinies.
Whether he lives to rule or dies to make
room for another of his race when Victoria
shall put off her long held dignities is a
matter of little consequence to the world.

A REFORM IN TAX SALES.

The Legislature should pass the pro-
posed measure which provides another
method OF making tax sales in the place of
that which has long prevailed in Cali
fornia and out of which altogether too
many men have become rich The pend
ing bill provides that the State should be
the purchaser of all lands upon which
taxes were unpaid and that five years
should be allowed the delinquent owner
within which to redeem his land. 1t also
provides that the land shall, during that
period, be regularly taxed and that who
ever pays these taxes snail be informed
upon the face of his receipt that the taxes
of a certain previous year were not paid
and that the land was sold therefor.
1t is apparent that this ought to have
been the law long before now. The reason
why taxes become delinquent are mainly
three: First, because the owner is for the
time impecunious and unable to paw his
tax; second, because of some mistake of
the owner or of the officers of the law dur
ing the process of assessment and taxation :.
third, because the title to the land is in
volved in litigation. None of these reasons
supplies any justification for the enormities
of the present law. If the owner is en-
barrassed it is time for indulgence Oh the
part of the State and not for surrender of
him to the tender mercies of the sharks
who fatten on the penalties of tax sales.
If there has been an honest mistake on the
part OF the owner or of the officials the for
mer should not be made to bleed for it, If
the title is in litigation the rightful claim
ant ought not to have his patrimony en-
dangered by tax deeds issued during the
period of dispute.
There are many excellent reasons for
which this proposed measure should be-
come law, and by enacting measures
such as this during the brief period left it
for action the Legislature has an oppor-
tunity to at least half redeem its fame.

kind. The animals are similar to those of
Bengal, only larger. [ saw the skeleton

tiers OF the district had killed and its legs

The animal itself could not have been

who afterward died in my hospital, had no
less than twenty-siX wounds in his side
On another occasion the tigers killed off
all the dogs in one of the villages. On ac-
count of these fierce beasts no one will ven

Mr.. Otte expects to raise enough money
in the East to build another hospital on
his return to China. He is confident that
China is heartily sick of the war with

A VOICE FROM THE PEOPLE.

| The many expressions of Endorsement
and approval of the course taken by the
| CALL in denouncing the extravaganza of
| the Legislature in appointing SO many use
| less attaches evinceS the depth of public
| Indignation against the evil, and particu-
| larly that of earnest and stalwart Republi-
cans. 1t is, in fact, the rank and file
and the truer and better leaders of the
Republican party who most acutely feel the
wrong done by this breaking of party
pledges and defiance of the peoples will
This feeling on the subject is well ex-
pressed III plain and sturdy language by a
correspondent in the interior of the State
who says: "Our legislators have taken
great pains to support their political
friends, but | believe they have done it to
their own sorrow. The Republican party
has large majority in both houses. Who,
then, will be held responsible, for all this
extravaganza? At the present price of
produce, how win the farmers pay their
hired help and taxes? By the time the
legislators and their attaches leave the
State capital the treasury will be empty
How is it to be replenished except by
heavily taxing every industry in the State
1 have been a Republican since Lincoln's
administration, but never could be in
duced to vote hereafter for any of our pres
ent extravaganza Legislators"
This voice straight from the people
speaks the sentiment of genuine Republi-
canism. 1t is because the Republican
party is made up of men of such sterling
honesty and clear common sense as the
writer OF these words that it has been for
so long time the most honored and pow
erful party of the country. No man who
seeks preferment at the hands of the great
mass of Republican voters can afford to
break his pledges, and those men at Sacra-
mento who have rashly tried it will find,
as our correspondent says, that in support
ing their political friends in this way they
have done it to their own sorrow.

Two Prominent EvangeIists Commence
Series of Reyivals.
The little Gospel Hall on Howard. near
Fourth street, proved too small to accom-
modate the congregation which Assem- bIed
yesterday afternoon and evening to well
come William ]. Mcclure, the distin-
guished Irish evangelist, and his equally
well-known co-laborer, John Moneypenny.
of Toronto, Canada. The meeting was the
first of a series of revival meetings which
the two evangelists intend holding during
the next four or five weeks, and if one NAV
Judge from the initial meeting, the work
will doubtless result in vast amount of
good to erring humanity.
Mr. Mcclure, who delivered the princi-
pal address, proved to be an exceptionally
brilliant and forcible speaker. His re-
marks, he stated, were directed to active
Christians, whose assistance and encour-
agement he would require during the ex-
istenee of the revival. After having made
their peace with God, the aim of all good
Christians, he said, should be to bring as
many others into the fold as possible.
We should not be satisfied with our own
good fortune in renouncing the ways of sin
and darkness, but helping and guiding
hand should be extended to the thousands,
who, as yet, have no knowledge of the
peace and comfort to be found in leading
simple Christian lives.
At the evening service Mr.. Moneypennv
made an eloquent appeal to sinful hui
manltV,
