WHAT A BABY LOOKS LIKE.

comparison of the same sized PRONE

really what the jaws have done, In pro-

1t is fond delusiOn with visitors ana
nurses that the baby is just IKE ts
father or mother. No one who has had
that scientific training necessary to pro-
uer observation could make such state
ment, N the opinion of the Popular
Science Monthly. 1t is gross libel,
sometimes IN the baby, sometimes on
the parents. Properly taken photo
graphs show that the proportions OF
nearly every feature in the face OF
baby and an adult are entirely diner

the size and shape Of the nose and the
size of the jaws. If, when, adults, we

The PopuIlsts' Power.

Washington. Dec. 4.-The popuhst
members of the senate. at a meeting
yesterday. took steps which probably
will prevent the organization of the
senate by the republicans, deciding TO
stand together against both old par
ties. PETER, Allen. Kyle and Butler
ranked as straight populists. and Jones
and Stewart OF Nevada, upon whom
some republicans have counted for as
sistance in case OF an effort to reor-
ganize were present. There was no dis
sent against the proposition to stand
together on the question OF organiza-
ton and give no support to either OF
the old parties in the election OF ofi-
GERS of the senate or other party mat
tiers. Those present also decided to
nominate their own candidates for
various offices in case the other parties
place candidates in the field. The pop
ullsts have agreed that. this step once
taken. they would stand by their can
didates solidly 10 the end. The repuo-
llcans now lack three of a majority,
and will lack one after the Utah sena-
tors come.

New York, Dec 4.-The Press club OF

speaker of distinction in the Audito-

They invited Mr.. Gladstone for 1896 and
the mayor of Chicago supplemented
the request with a cordial letter invft-

These letters were sent to Mr.. Depew.

Washington. Dec. 4.-The Post to-

discovery was made that one OF the
senate rules allows the appointment OF
the members OF the committees except
the chairman by a plurality OF the
votes cast. Inquiry shows this rule.
the existence of which had been forgot
ten. was put into operation as long ago
as 1920. and has continued in force
since. It has become practically obso-
lete by reason of the fact that for
many years the majority and minority
sides have arranged their representa-
tions respectively. and the slate thus
prepared has been agreed to by unani-
nous consent. without the formaHty of
a ballot. The existence of this rule
presents a most interesting phase of
the senate situation. Under IL the re-
publicans can elect the members OF the
committee, except the chairman. be-
cause they have beyond doubt a plu-
rality in the senate unless all the pop
ulists should vote with the democrats
against them.

factions In the party. one composed
largely of the older element. standing
out for the appointment OF the commit

the younger element predominating.
demanding the caucus elect Its commit
