A French Charity Saving the Lives of
PremnturelY Born Children.

A physician of Nice, France, thinks
he has solved the problem of checking
the great mortality among premature
ly born infants. He is Alexandra
Lion, and, according to the Chicago
Chronicle, he has worked wonders for
the Weaklings of his native land with
his baby incubator, which he has put
into practical use in Paris, Bordeaux,
Marseilles and other cities.
His Paris incubator is located at 26
Boulevard Poissoniere, and is filled
with chubby faced youngsters, still
under the normal weight but rapidly
approaching it. over the door is the
sign, THE Baby Incubator Charity"
An admittance fee of so centimes is
asked of all visitors. The money goes
to the support of the babies. Within
the past year more than $4,000 men
and women have visited this novel
charity. Each baby rests in a sep
arate incubator. Each incubator
rests upon an iron frame and consists
Of a glass case. Inside is a finely
woven wire spring suspended from the
sides. A soft mattress is placed on
this, and there the baby rests. Below
the spring is a spiral pipe, through
which a current of warm water con-
| a lamp placed under a cylindrical boiler
| at the right hand side. Warm air
| is thus made to circulate all around the
occupant thermometer in the cor
ner showing the exact temperature.
An automatic device regulates the
| temperature according to special needs.
THE ventilation" says DR.. Lion, "is
effected by a specially formed pipe,
| which carries into the lower part of
the incubator a jet of purified and fill
| tered air. After it's course through
! the incubator it goes out through a
| pipe at the top, and little fan indi-
| Gates by it's rotation the force of the
| current. It is necessary that the all
| should be constantly circulating, and
| the temperature inside the eouveust
| should be carefully regulated"
The incubators are placed in a row
| against the wall and nurses stanC
| ready to fly to their charges at the
| slightest cry. Just back of the in
| cubator is a glass windowed apart
| ment known as the baby's dining
room. This is a most necessary pro
| vision. since the aim in life of the in
mate seems to be to drink milk. This
room is provided with mattresses, pow
der boxes and padded tables, as wei
as scales, weights and bottles. Pure

lief that il man inherits weak lungs from
his parents he is pretty sure to die Of con-
sumption. The actual fact is that II such
a man will only take proper care of himself
he will really be safer from consumption
than a careless person who has no inherited
weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye.
Carelessness will develop a tendency to
consumption in any body.
The lungs are composed of very delicate,
sensitive tissue, even in the healthiest per
son; that is why they yield so quickly to the
attack of tainted blood. If the blood IS al
lowed to get impure and impoverished and
bile poisoned, the seeds of consumption
will spring up in the best kind of consti-
tntion The real consumpuontain Is in
the blood
Hundreds of cases of so-called heredi-
tary" consumption have been completely
and permanently rooted out of the system
by DR.. Pierceis Golden Medical Discovery,
simply because it gives the bloOd-making
glands power TO pour fresh abundant sup
ply of rich, red, healthy, blood into the
circulation. This drives out all poisonous

Rssimilated by the weakest stomachs.

IN A RACE FOR A GOLD CUP.
GOVERNOR HASTINGS EX-
PECTED.
Many people were disappointed yes
terday because OF the nOn-appearance
OF the naval reserves at Battery Park
IL was expected that the battalion
would come ashore and go through the
artillery drill. and as a result the
wharves were crowded all day long
The plans were changed, however, and
the reserves maneuvered about in the
river and prepared for the inspection,
which took place just before noon.
There was a swimming match for a
cup which was open only TO officers Of
the battalion. Lieutenant Rogers came
out victor by a narrow margin.
Yesterday afternoon the six cutters OF
the iceIboats were manned with re-
serves and the boat drill was executed.
Last evening the cutters were loaded
with reserves and were towed to the
man-of-war Maine, which is anchored
at Deep Water Point, about three miles
up the river. When on board this yes
sci the reserves practiced for an hour at
signaling.
On the return to the ice-boats a race
for a gold cup over course OF about
two miles distance was started between
Divisions A and b, of Philadelphia and
! G. Of Pittsburg. The contest was an
exciting one. Every man did his ut
most in order to have his boat win. The
race continued evenly until near the
end, when Division b forged
ahead and finished length
ahead Of Division A amid the
shouts OF the reserves on the ice
boats and the spectators on shore. Di-
vision c finished a length behind Divi-
sion A.
Governor Hastings Is expected to ar
rive here to-day, when he will review
the reserve battalion. The United
States revenue cutter Hamilton, which
was anchored off here on Tuesday
night left early yesterday morning foi
Philadelphia, where Governor Hast
ings and his staff, including Inspector.

THE CONSERVATIVES WIN.

New York, Nov. ga special to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chill, says:
Despite strong opposition by Seniors
Carlos, Walker and Martinez, ultra
clericals and conservative leaders, the
acedist-Conservative alliance has
been effected. This may lead to
changes in the cabinet later.
1t is stated that congress will not
ratify any of the treaties negotiated
in 1895 with Bolivia, but this will not
AFFECT the stability of the cabinet.
The press has started another heat
ed discussion as to the ownership Of
Puma and Atacama. The question is
whether Puma and Atacama are own
ed by Argentina or Chilli. The press is
split on this question, many newspa-
pers maintaining that they never be-
longed to Chill, others claiming that
thy have since Bolivia coded them.
This may be a subject of bitter dis
cord between Chill and Argentina.

LOWERING is GUILTY.
He is Reprimanded Only. His Record
Saved Him.

SdNeu f1llii.
Chicago, Nov. 26-The Tribune to-
day prints the following:
''The finding of the court martial is
that the accused is guilty as charged
in the specifications and
That he be reprimanded by the re-
viewing authorities. The court is thus
lenient in view Of the good character
of the accused as shown in the evil
dence."
The foregoing Is according to the
statement of a man who knows, the
exact verdict of the court-martial
which has just completed its labors in
the case Of Capt. Lowering of Fort
Sheridan, charged with brutal treat
ment of Private Hammond.
1t took the court-martial one hour
to reach it's decision. The first ballot
resulted in seven members of the
court-martial voting guilty" and
five mot guilty." The usual court
martial is composed of thirteen mem
bers, but Maj. Randolph, who had
been detailed to attend, was unable to
do so, so twelve men sat as a jury to
decide the fate of Capt. Lowering.
There was vigorous effort made to
have those parts of the specifications
| charging Capt. Lowering with cruel
| ty" and brutality stricken out, but
| it was finally decided to consider the
| charges as they were set forth in the
/ specifications and the decision was
| reached without making the changes.
| A majority is conclusive in court
/ martial findings and so, after the fact
i of guilt was established, the only thing
| to be considered was the measure of
punishment. The officers had made
UP their minds that Hammond's ca
| reer as a soldier was not creditable
| and this weighed strongly in bringing
them to an agreement as to the pun
| ishment to be melted out to Lowering.
| The evidence showed that Capt.
Lowering had been connected with the
| United States military service for 25
/ years and that his record had been a
good one. A neighbor of the officer
came out plainly and said he would
not vote a finding of guilty If Capt.
Lowering was to be given a humiliat-
ing punishment. 1t was argued that
Hammond's record, when placed by
the side of Capt. Coverings, was of
such a character as to unavoidably
gain some sympathy from the court
for the officer. The finding of court
martial is secret, under a solemn oath.
The members of the court are sworn
not to divulge the finding or discuss
it untilyi it has reached the proper au-
thority which, in this case, is Presi-
| dent Mckinley. The lowering court
martial is the result of a direct order
issued by the president, and he will
be the reviewing officer in the case un-
less he surrenders the responsibility
to Gen. Alger, secretary Of war.
| Lieut.-Col. Hunter, judge advocate
| of the court, will have his record COM
| pleted today, and this with the find
ing, will be forwarded to Washington
tonight. 1t will probably be placed in
the hands Of the president on Monday,
and after it's inspection by Gen. Alger
and Gen. Miles the finding will be
| given out officially. The public an
nouncement will probably be made by
Thursday of next week. 1t is of course
| known that the president may change
the sentence recommended by the
court-martial.

take the matter in hand so that you,
yourself, may have the merit OF being
just by repairing an error"
The outcome of every act of justice
is a triumph. Circumstances to which

time, prevented the ministers from list
ening to him. From that moment he
knew no peace. 1t had been said that
he clutched the truth, and can he, who
holds it without proclaiming it be
other than public enemy?
Stoically at first, for fifteen days
without end he held to his promise to
to keep silent, always in hope that he
would not be compelled 10 usurp the

doubt as to his sanity. Was he not an
old man in his second childhood, one
of those whose incipient senile weak
ness is to believe anything?
Others, madmen and ruffians, simp-
ly said he had taken bride. The
Jews had paid a million to buy his
conscience. And to think that no uni
versal roar of laughter greeted this
stupidity.
A judicious error is a thing which
must be regretted, but always possible.
Judges are sometimes mistaken, and
soldiers may make mistakes. How
does that compromise the honor of the
army?
The only thing to do where a mis-
take has been made is to correct It.

the day when one would be obstinate
