BABY IN GARBAGE BOX.
Chicago infant Whose Queer Rest
ing Place Has a History.
A Pretty Founding Once Found Refuge
In It-She Is Now the Wife of .
Wealthy Man and Mother OF
Lovely Child.

Behind one of the most imposing
stone-fronts on Ashland boulevard, says
the Chicago News, the only heir appar-
emit of a father whose wealth can be
computed with no less than six figures
sleeps in garbage box.
Startling as this sounds it is literally
true. What was once the commonest
sort of wooden garbage box standing
in an alley and receiving daily dona-
tons of kitchen refuse is now baby's
crib. Little about it remains to sug-
gest its ancient and mental occupation
except its shape, oblong and big at the
Top, tapering at either end toward the
bottom, and with two upright handles
rising from the middle of either side
and connected at the top by cross
bar. But the thick pine boards have
been so secured and decorated that no
one on beholding it would ever be re-
minded of their former use. The edges
of the planks have been planed round
and the whole sandpapered until the
surface is as smooth as the top Of a
parlor center table. The box is painted
a light blue, with dainty gold trim
Inings. Inside has been fitted little
spring mattress bearing all the neces-
sary bed clothing equipments, from
tick to Counterpart. From the head
rises the brass framework of an expen-
sive canopy, with blue silken curtain
that can be dropped to keep the light
out of baby's eyes.
Outside the family circle few people
know that the crib ever did service as
garbage box or that it has history
which makes it the most priced of all
the household lares and penates. Its
history is rather romantic one. Some
thing over 20 years ago it stood in the
alley of an eastern city fulfilling the
humble mission of an everyday garbage
box. The family for which it did serv-
Zee was that of a well-to-do manufac-
turer, with more than the average share
of worldly wealth, but though he had
been married several years hewas child

RELIGIOUS WAR PENDING.

The A. p. A. Drum an Editor out of
Town for Assailing Woman.
Spokane, Wash, March ia relig-
iOus war that has been waged between
miners in Cour d'Alene for years was
given a fresh impetus on Sunday by
an occurrence that threatens to lead
to the shedding of blood.
At recent entertainment at Ward
ner. Miss Johnson, a school teacher,
made an attack on Catholics. In
last weeks issue of the Wardner Citi-
zen, Editor G. r. Burriss made some
severe structures upon Miss Johnson's
character.
Members of the A. p. A. to the num-
Der of 200 met and appointed to bring
Burriss before the meeting. He was
dragged from his office through the
streets to the place of meeting. A
stormy discussion ensued as to
what to do with Burriss. Some ia
vored a coat of tar and feathers,
while the majority wanted to hang
him.
Finally, after strong appeal not to
commit murder, motion prevailed to
run Burriss out of town, which was
done, under escort of the mob. Yes
terday warrants of arrest were isuued
for eight of the ring leaders on a
charge of conspiracy and melting riot.
Sheriff and five deputies started for
the mine to make the arrests and it is
believed they will be resisted.

CUBANs FOOL UNCLE SAM.

New York, March ia special to
the Times from Carabelle, Fla, says:
1t was learned last night on good
authority that the Cubans got ahead
of Uncle Sam after all and that a big
load of arms and ammunition escaped
the watchful eyes of the cruisers.
The story is that vessel was loaded
with baled cotton, the arms being con-
cealed in some of the bales, which
were hollow, and under them. This
vessel was stopped in the gulf by a
cruiser but the cargo was so innocent
looking that she was allowed to pro-
coed. 1t it said that over 1000 rifles,
100 sabres or machetes, 100000 rounds
of ammunition,siX cans of dynamite,
were in the cargo.

They Swap Confessions as to the Mistake.
They Had Made.
They were both old-time stenog
raphers, employed somewhere by the
week, but the consciousness of being
able, at will, to produce pages of hens
tracks which only they could decipheI
and sometimes even they failed to dc
so-invested them with a feeling Of
intense superiority to the rest of man
kind.
But this normal feeling was for the
moment usurped by one of humility, as
they sat on the sofa, the light turned
gently down, and the soft radiance Of
the Pickering jet in the street alone
illuminating the apartment
It was an hour for confession, and he
paved the way by saying:
THE first job I ever struck lost

"a wholesale chemist was my first
employer" she murmured. 'iHe used
to keep diary. One day he dictated to
me the Hateful words: Bought a car
load of sulphuric acid. Quite good

"How did you transcribe it?" he in
quired eagerly, for he had registered
a VOW in his Utmost soul that he would
never marry a perfect idiot.
81 didn't get it quite right. Bought
a carboy of sulphuric acid. Good God!
It's poisonous!'
He moved little way from her, but
remembered his own early struggles
and edged back again.
Dearest" he whispered, 'do you re-
member the conversation which nomin-
ated Garfeld?"
She thought he was trying to find out
how old she was, but curiosity got the
better of discretion, and she confessed
to dim memory of that occasion.
81 was hired by the Times then to re-
port the speeches. A New Yorker got
up and said the discussions among their
opponents were very timely, for they
bid fair to create a break in the ranks
of the democratic party"
"Oh, tell me-" cried the fair girl, with
a sudden accession of interest, show did
you get itP"
His head fell on his breast
"I cannot. dare not tell you"
Rising, she turned the lamp down still
lower. "This man said the discussions
among their opponents bad fair to Gre
ate a breach in the ranks of the demo-
cratic partyP"
HE did! And transcribed it pants
of the democratic party and what is
more, it was printed in the paper that
way the very next morning. ~ -.

Trouble Probably Ahead for weyler
the Recalcitrant.
New York, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
General Weyler has been ordered by
his government IN Madrid to remain in
Havana until General Blanco arrives.
This may mean that Weyler Is to be
sent home under arrest for refusing to
obey the order to give his command to
General Castellanos. General Weyler
wanted to sail two days before General
Blanco could reach Havana.
General Castellanos, in the face of
General Weyler's resistance, was abso-
lutely helpless so far as assuming COM
mand was concerned, but he sent a
special messenger to Key West and tele-
graphed the whole situation from there
to his government. 1t is owing to this
discussion that General Weyler has been
told to wait for General Blanco.

Alaska Military Reservation
Open to All Corners.
REPLY OF SECRETARY ALGER
Any Company May Operate at st.
MichaeIs Upon Obtaining the
War Departments Consent.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Nc
Bride, of Oregon, saw the secretary of
war and the president today regarding
the report that the new military reserva-
tion in Alaska would create a monopoly
for the two transportation companies
now operating between that territory
and points in the United States. He
was assured there was no such intention
in the order; that no one would be ex-
cluded from the territory or prevented
from engaging in any business on the
reservation. Secretary Alger said he
would telegraph the chamber of COM
merce of Tacoma to that effect. The
intention of the order was solely that of
protecting life and property in the terri
tory, and any company or person enter
ing the territory would be gwen the
same rights and privileges allowed COM
panies or persons already operating
there.
Senator Mcbride said he had no doubt
there would be no trouble for any
persons operating in Alaska, and the
assurances of the president and secretary
were sufficient to quiet all apprehen-
sions that might be felt either in Oregon
or Washington.
The first formal protest against the
creation of st. MIchaels military reser-
vation reached the war department from
Tacoma as follows:
"Hon. Secretary of War-We ask for
a reconsideration of your order setting
apart a military reservation at st.
Nichaels, believing that should 1t stand
it must work to the detriment of thou
sands of our citizens and give a mon
opoly to the two companies now located
there.
"Citizens' Committee, Tacoma,
"By George Brown, Secretary"
Secretary Alger made the following
reply:
Telegram received. The military
reservation at st. Michaels was estab-
lished in the interests of the security of
life and property. the preservation of
order and the protection of legitimate
business interests. No monopoly was
given or intended to any company or
persons. Any proper company or
person who desires to conduct legiti-
mate business there will, on application
to the war department, be given per
mission to do so.'

to win sympathy here. On the way he
employs the power he has concentrated
depends to very considerable extent
the stability of Spain in Cuba. If he
chooses to resist Blanoo's authority, the
latter will need strong force behind
him before he can land IN Havana. If
there is not serious trouble 1t will be
because Senior Sagasta and his ministers
bend their knees to General Weyler, for
the indication is that Weyler will not
submit quietly to them.
That the Spanish government antici-
pates disturbance is evinced by the
fact that it has telegraphed to General
Weyler to disband the volunteer forces.
This morning the captain-general called
to the palace the colonels and read them
telegram from Minister of the Colonies
Moret, stating that the services of the
volunteers would not be longer required,
and that they were to be disarmed.
After an excited consultation the
colonels agree to send a considerable
dispatch to Senior Moret expressing
their indignation and stating that they
would not be responsible for the actions
of the men if the news was conveyed to
them.
If trouble does occur here it will not
be matter of day; it will be matter
of only two or three hours.
Next to man-of-war, Americans here
would like to see Consul General Lee.
