One Of the Maternity Hospital Ba.
bies Is kidnapped.
Minneapolis. July pa most singu-
lar case of kidnapping has been report
cd to the police from Maternity hospi-
tai. Yesterday afternoon woman
carrying an eightee n-monti.s-old baby
called Mt the hospital and stated that
she wanted to adopt d baby girl for
her sister. She was told that she must
supply references. but IL. the mean
time was shown several babies, after
which she asked to be allowed to sit
awhile and rest. One of the attendants,
who had been in the room with her.
was called out and left on the lounge
a two-months-old baby boy which she
had been caring for. Upon the return
Of the nurse she was astonished to
find the woman gone. from the hospi-
tai. 1t so happened that no one had
seen her leave, but she was traced to
the Bloomington avenue lire through
a Western avenue conductor who re-
membered having given her trans
fer. There the clue ended. The wo-
man was plainly dressed and dis.
played some forethought in taking
with the child cap a quilt and a
nursing bottle. The hospital autl,ori-
ties are nonplused to account. for the
woman's action. as the infant she took
did not answer the requirements she
named for the babe which size wished
to secure.

How to Walk Well

When girl walks she should be
trained to hold her shoulders we'll back
and to keep her arms close to her body.
The chest will then be thrown out, not
form an inward curve, and the head
must be held up fearlessly. Some wo-
men 60 through life with the head held
little forward, reminding one Of
nothing so much as an inquiring tor
toise out on voyage of discovery.
The foot should be placed on the
ground on the ball first, not ON the
heel, or quite fiat. The latter way
,robs one of all grace, and to put the
heel first is too ungainly for words.
1t is just as ugly to mince along on the
toes; 1t looks as though the ground was
over-heated and unable to be trodden
ON. Even when climbing a hill, or
mounting the rather dingy staircases
Of town-built houses and fats, the head
should be held up, not dropped as
though you were searching for . lost
Sixpence.

ONE MORE TICKET
GOLD DEMOCRATS DECIDE TO HAVE
A NOMINEE.
A Conference IL Held IN Chicago by
Cold Democrats From Number
u Of states, at which Is Decided
to Issue Gail r q Nominating
Convention to be Held Not Later
Than Sept. 2

Chicago. July 24.-The gold standard
Democratic conference has decided
that n call for national convention
must be issued.
The meeting was held in secret, the
public and the press being excluded.
The chief cause for the secrecy was
that Controller Eckels, who was ex-
pected to arrive from Washington,
was generally understood to carry in
his vest pocket the wishes of the pres
ent administration regarding q con-
vention and a third ticket, and 1t was
desired to give him all possible oppor-
tunity to say what Mr.. Cleveland de-
sired without its being too extensively
advertised. 1t wis generally admitted
that the wishes of the administration
would go far toward determining
whether or not there should be anotl-
er ticket in the field. but many of the
visiting Democrats had no hesitation
In saying that ticket would be put
up in spite Of everything. There were
present representatives from Ken
lucky, Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Indiana. Nebraska ard Illinois.
Controller Eckels did not appear aud
the meeting. after waiting some time
for him went into session. Gen. q. s.
Bragg of Wisconsin was elected
chairman and G. A. Ewing of Illinois,
secretary. The conference definitely
decided that convention should be
called, the only question being wheth-
err this meeting should issue the Gull,
and on this lively debate ensued..
q. NJ. Davis of Kentucky presented
the principal resolutions, calling for q
convention to be he'd on Sept. in
Detroit. III. 5. Robbins of Illinois did
not favor the issue OF a call by the
meeting of to-day, and r. w. Knott of
kentucky spoke strongly in favor Of
calling the convention ut once.
Senator Villas of Wisconsin violently
opposed the issuing Of call by the
conference. HIS spec ch was frequent
~ cheered, although the general SEN
timent of the meeting seemed to in
cline the other way.
After long debate resolution was
adopted to the effect that it was the
sense Of the meeting that Democrat
Is convention lie held, Democratic
platform enunciated and candidates
for president and vice president chosen
and that the said convention should
convene not later than Sept. 9. A
committee of one from each state,
there represented. was appointed by
the chairman to draft call for the
convention with orders to report to
the general meeting tomorrow.

Last week British Columbia logger
sent the cook of his camp to Douglass,
the British Columbia station Just
across the line from Blaine, to get an
express package. The Monaghan came
to Douglass, and instead of stopping
there, wandered over the line to the
Great Northern Depot, on this
side; where he sat down. A
Jealous deputy marshal spied
him, and after few questions
found out he had no papers. So he de-
tanned him, and according to law the
only thing that could be done was to
deport him to China, although Mckee
came down and explained and tried to
have him released to go back and cook.
Sunday the train had Just started
south with this Monaghan on board,
when some one yelled: There's an
other one!" Sure enough, there came
another big, fat, wabbly-looking Chi
nese across the line. The train was
stopped instanter, and he was ques-
toned. He was on this side of the line
without papers, and the funny part Of
it was that he was a cook, who had
been sent from Westminster to take
the other fellows place as cook in Nc
KEGS logging camp, and, installing his
location, had wandered too far south.
He cried when he knew his predica-
ment, but law, as interpreted by the Of
ficers, is stern, as we'll as surprisingly
silly, and he will go back to China
along with No. 1. In the meantime
Mckee has no cook.-Whatcom Rev

The Rev. Francis Winter was q ma
tive Of Boston and graduate Of Har-
ward college, says the Lewiston (Me.)
Journal. He came to Bath early in
1857 and after preaching on probation
for the orthodox church, was invited
to settle, which invitation he accepted.
He was ordained in the autumn Of the
same year. He came to Bath on horse
back in company with Lemuel Stand
ish. Mr.. Winter came from Boston,
where he had associated with such
eminent men as Adams, Otis and War
rem, himself becoming an ardent pa
triot, taking the lead in the revolu-
tionary measures adopted in Bath
during that memorable period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail
Alden in 176s and 1t is through her
that the Winters of today trace their
ancestry back to the Puritan Maiden
of Plymouth"
Three years after the marriage Of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit a sister Of Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in
tended to ride all the way on horse
back, but Mrs. Winter became 80 IA
tigued that Mr.. Winter sold one of the
horses for carriage and harness. It
was called a chaise. Travelling was so
difficult that two negroes were en-
ployed to accompany them with SHOW
els and axes to clear the road. Several
times the chaise had to be taken apart
and lifted over fallen trees. The min
listers parishioners thought that 1t was
putting on too much stlye for their
pastor to ride in a carriage and in con-
sequence Mr.. Winter sold it. This was
in 1771. It was two-wheeled chaise
the body resting on leather thorough
braces, which were attached to wooden
springs.

Take small sweet pumpkin and after

pound OF sugar and a quarter OF "a pound
OF green ginger root. six lemons and three
oranges. Peel the yellow skin of the or
