l returned the child was gone. Ny sister told
me that gentleman had taken it to an asylum.
Later my sister told me that Flynn was the
father of the child. Tessie did not know any,
thing about the birth of the child. She went
with me to my home for an article that was
needed. She was sitting in the next room at
the time of the birth.
Tessie Browning, a pretty girl with
golden hair, said she had been introduced
to Flynn, whom she had known for about
nine months. She said:

mother had severe pains. did not know that
a child had been born in the house. did not
go out for walk with Flynn on the night of
April 13. but went with my aunt to her house
for an article.
Charley Benjamin of 1907 Ninth street
testified that he used to see Flynn come to
his house to visit Mrs. Browning. There
were two men at the house on the night
the boy was born. One was Flynn. The
other was short man with a black
mustache. He opened the door for man
on the night of April Ii. Mrs. Benjamin,
keeper of the lodging house, testified to
the effect that she sent her boy to open the
door in response to the ringing of the bell
and was told that he had let a man in.
Mrs Browning had lived at her house for
three months. She did not know that q
child had been born at her house on the
night of April 13.

them that be did.

shows that no child is known to have been
born in the region of the church since
April 20 This is in no wise strange. for
the appearance of the child clearly indi-
Gates that there was no physician present at
the period of birth. The body shows
rough handing, and the lungs are con-
gested. The autopsy, performed by DR.
Barrett, makes 1t evident that in spite of
the rough handling that the little stranger
received he must have lived for some
time after birth.
Coroner Hawkins stated late last even
ing that as soon as the police had collected
sufficient evidence to tend to show who
the author of the deed is, an inquest will
be held. The time of the inquest, there
fore, is indefinite.

Resolution offered to Pension an Ex-Con-
 federate ColoneI's Widow.
 Washington, Feb. 19.-In the senate to-day numerous private pension bills were considered and passed Among them were bills increasing the pension of the widow of Brigadier General Hor- ace Boughton to s75 month, giving pensions of $100 month to the widows of General O. M. Poe, General Blunt, General Gibbon and General Thomas Ewing, and to Generals Nathan Kim ball and Joseph R. West, of $75 to the widow of Surgeon General Sutherland, of S25 to Eliza Sanford, daughter of a revolutionary soldier, and of S75 to the widow of General Morrow. A bill giv- ing STE a month to the widow of ex- Senator Spencer of Alabama, a colonel of an Alabama regiment, provoked long gdiscussion-Senators Allen, pop, of Nebraska, and Berry, dem., of Arkan sas, arguing that distinctions should not be made in the pensions of officers widows. The discussion led to rather angry altercation between Senators Allen and Call Finally the bill was re- committed. A bill granting a pension of S200 month to the widow of the late Secretary of State W. o. Gresham, as brigadier general, with an amendment making 1t $100, went over without ac- tion as MT. Voorhees,, dem, of Indiana, who originally introduced the bill, but who was absent to-day, desired to ap- pose the amendment.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION COURSE.

The first of three illustrated lectures in the University Extension course was given last evening at United church chapel by Professor William North Rice, Ph. D., LL.D., of Wesleyan uni versity. The lecture was attended by very large number of people. Profess sor Rice was a friend and associate of the late Professor J. D. Dana and accompanied him on many of his ex- plorations and geological expeditions.
 A. Maxcy Hitler, who is president of the University Extension Center, intro- duced the speaker. The lecture was purely scientific and was based on the speakers observations of the Bermudas and their geological formation. The lecturer said in part:
 "The origin of these coral reefs was for long time 8 source of mystery to scientists and strangely enough was explained almost simultaneously by the eminent geologist and naturalist, Charles Darwin of England, and that worthy and eminent geologist who so lately passed away in your own city, Professor Dana. It had been known that coral animals could exist only in water comparatively shallow. This would not account for these islands which rise from water in the neigh borhood of 1000 feet in depth. To both of these eminent scientists it occurred that by volcanic eruptions conical shap- ed mountains had been cast up. These were then surrounded on or near the surface by coral animals and the rest of the explanation came easy.
 The professor gave several views of the Bermuda Islands, showing the "dip" of the rock, some wind formations and some water formations.
 His microscopic observations were al- so very excellent The views and obser- vations were made twenty years ago.
 The next lecture is to be given next Wednesday evening. The subject will be Yellowstone Park

Father of the Youth safe Breaker Makes
 a Statsm sment.
 Boston, Feb. 19.--John Adams, father of the young man under arrest in New York, charged with being professional safe burglar, writes the following to an evening paper:
 ''In the great grief which has come to my wife and myself by the alleged act of our son, J. Irving Adams, about which we know nothing save what has appeared in the newspapers and from a few minutes conversation with the city marshal of Newton I will ask you to publish, if you please, this statement in lieu of requests for interviews by your representatives who have shown us the greatest kindness and sympathy:
 Some six or seven years ago symp- toms of insanity appeared In our son, which developed in a greater or less degree, and at no time since have we considered him fully sane and at times clearly insane, almost beyond control. We have done all in our power to keep this knowledge within our family, hop ing that such symptoms would disap- pear.
 While we do not think 1t wise at present to detail his mental conditions the proofs are amply conclusive.''

 Newspapers Always Get Things Wrong.
 Waterbury, Feb. 19.--Rev. Edwin M. Poteat, pastor of Calvary Baptist church of New Haven, tonight deliver ed an address on Good Citizenship before the Waterbury Christian En- deavor union in which he made a sem sational attack on newspapers. He said: T think that the recent outburst of patriotic feeling and the belligerent message of the president has done good. I think 1t has taught you not to be- lieve what you read in newspapers. I do not mean by this to make sweep ing condemnation of all papers. have some which see every week. But the newspapers did not represent the senti- nent Of the country at all when the president made public his now famous message. They represented the froth- the froth of the country; and then it was most amusing to watch them crawl and get in line with American senti- ment when at the last they found out what American sentiment was.
 You certainly don't believe anything you see in a newspaper that you know about personally. They always get it wrong some way or other"
 The attack is all the more noticeable on account of the remarks made by the pastors wife about Yale college few months ago.

J. Merritt and w. E. Chap man. The tug J. D. Jones lowed astern, acting as rudder, the Otranto's rudder having become disabled.
 Captain Hubby, who has been some what reticent regarding the accident, said that he sailed from Shields on January 23 and experienced a success sion of severe gales and very high seas which smashed a portion of the bridge and flooded the decks. Otherwise the ship sustained no damage. The steamer was off Shinnecock on February 14 at z D. m., distant seven miles. Captain Hubby then steered his course west by south, with the intention of picking up a pilot off the Fire Island whistling buoy. Fire Island light was visible and he bore east by northeast distant three miles. At Il 80 p. m. the ship took the ground, and in spite of all efforts to get her off, she remained fast on the bottom until 10 o'clock last night. The damage to the steamer could not be ascertained Her rudder was damaged and she was making some water, but was kept free with the aid of a steam pump on deck. After passing Quaran- tine the Otranto was lowed to the city. The tug D. S. Arnott this morning brought in 300 casks of soda which had been discharged from the Otranto while she was aground off Fire Island.

REGATTA ENTRIES
COMIrTT1 SENDS 4 LETTER TO
 PRESIDENT OF YALE CLUB.

Sons of Eli Are Eligible for Several Good Events, Including the Diamond scuI1s- Cornell Will Enter the Four-oar Race This Year.
 London, Feb. 19--The only communi- cation received by the Henley regatta committee from the Yale rowing club is one asking for information regarding the rules governing the regatta and other details. The committee, in reply to this communication, sent copy of the articles with a letter to President di Sibour Of the Yale club, which was mailed on the 18th instant, and should be received shortly.
 Tn this letter di sibour was informed that the dates fixed for the regatta were the 7th, sth and 9th of July, and that entries must be made before March 31.
 The events in which the Yale oarsmen can compete are the races for the grand challenge cup (eight oars), the stewards challenge cup -four oars), the pair oar
  souls.
 The letter also says that Cornell oars men expressed regret that they did not enter the touT pared race when they took part in the Henley regatta last year, and assures the Yale club that their representatives will meet with a hearty welcome. All are anxious, the committee declare. to see if Yale men are as good on the water as they are in athletic sports. It is suggested that a reply to the committees letter be mailed not later than March IS or 19 so that an acknowledgement may be sent to Yale on April l.
 President Di Sibour of the Yale navy was shown the above dispatch at his rooms last night. He said:
 "Yale's communication was of the na- ture of an enquiry into the conditions governing the race, rather than a for nal application for entrance into the regatta. We shall now await the de- cision of the faculty on our going to England and will, if they look favor ably on our request to cross the water, refer the matter to the university mass meeting.
 If the mass meeting and faculty ac- tion is favorable we shall send in Yale's formal entry for the Henley. The mass meeting will probably take place with in a week."
 President Di Sibour said it was not decided whether Yale would enter a four-oar crew for the queens challenge cup.

ER-FTTzSIMMONS FIGHT.

Fl Paso, Feb. 19.-Notice was issued tonight directing ticket holders and all who contemplate witnessing the con- test to report for information at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Not a sin gle bet has been heard of for several days. Tine money went away with the train loads of sports that left between Friday and Monday.
 Among the majority of local and vis- iting sports the concensus of opinion seems to be that the fight will not last more than three rounds and that the Cornishman will have Maher at his mercy after the first round.
 Fitzsimmons has issued a statement to the public that he will claim the forfeit if Maher does not show up Fri day at the ring.
