Disd.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. % -
To Mr. and Mrs. J. l.. Thomas,
who live in Oakland, a suburb of
Jacksonville, a girl baby was born
yesterday which talked at three dit
ferent times during its life Of six
hours. That the child talked is
attested by DR.. Peterson, the al.
tending physician, its mother, the
grandmother, and nurses Taylor
and MacElroy. DR.. Peterson says:
Immediately after the baby was
born | handed it to the nurse, Mrs.
Taylor, when it began TO fret and
in a few minutes cried, oh, Lord 4,
oh, Lord !! as naturally as | could
have done. The nurse, who was
colored and superstitious, dropped
the baby, bit I caught it, Half an
hour later tn baby cried, Oh,
Lord three times again. my.
self was startled and determined to
watch the case. The child remain
ed quietly by its mothers side for
several hours and then suddenly
rose to a sitting posture and cried,
Mamma, mamma, mammal The
b tby then fell back. | examined
it Immediately and found it dead"
The baby was Mrs. Thomas
fourteenth child and her seventh
daughter. Mrs. Thomas had been
bed-ridden with rheumatism for
some months, and for FIVE weeks
before the baby was born suffered
circulating pain, In her par
oxysms she cried: Oh, Lord. Oh,
Lord! Oh, Lord" frequently She
also frequently called Mamma,
Mamma, addressing Mrs. Black,
her mother.
DIR. Peterson thinks these agon-
izing cries of the mother were re.
sponsible for the remarkable ex-
hibition of the infant. DR.. Peter
son says the child when born look
ed nearly a year old. He will
prepare a statement of the case
for the medical journals.
