ENGAGED IN BABY FARMING
Leadville Woman is Said to Have Ia
ken Up New Industry

Leadville, Col, July ia short time
ago an advertisement appeared in the
morning paper here that baby boy could
be secured for adoption. Investigation
of the matter revealed the fact that an
old lady named Mrs. Flanders had q child
and was peddling it around for the sum of
SO.
1t appears from statements made by
other parties that Mrs. Flanders has es-
tablished an exchange for the surplus in
fantile population of the city. In other
words, when a little arrives in the
world that is not particularly desirable
Mrs. Flanders accepts the responsibility
for the care of the child and then endeav-
ors to dispose of it at good figure. Con-
siderable interest has been manifested in
this so-calIed baby exchange, but thus far
only one sale has been reported. The rul-
ing price is SO a head.

PALLBEARERS STRIKE.
Pittsburg Funeral is Delayed Until
Other Men Can Be Procured.

Pittsburg Pa, July 19.-Today Mrs.
Adela Feigenbaum and her son Morris, a
butcher in the Pittsburg market house,
were made the defendants in four law
suits brought against them before Alder
man B. F. McNierney by Herman Bern
hardt, Joseph Rice, Henry Lipsig and ia
cob Heppner, to obtain money alleged to
be due to them for their services in the
burial of Mrs. Feigenbaum's husband
July Z.
He died July from the effects of heat.
Mrs. Fiegenbaum, it is declared, engaged
the four plaintiffs to act as pallbearers
at the funeral. While the hearse was
waiting at the door for the body the pail
bearers struck for $50, which they claimed
they were to receive. Other pallbearers
had to be secured, but the first four sued
for the money.

An English law publication says
at is not generally known that the
talented wife of Mr.. Mckinley was
called to the American bar in the
early part of 1898, and that she
enjoyed for a long while the distinc-
ton of being the only lady of the
legal profession who pleaded on behalf
of clients before her husband, who
was Judge of the circuit in which she
practices" The Englishman is right,
admits Case and Comment. This
surprising information is "not gener-
ally known" 1t will be almost as
much of surprise to Americans to
learn that Mr.. Mckinley has been for
long while Judge of circuit since
1898, as to. learn that his wife was
called to the American bar in that
year.

incompetent limbs. The "know-all'

PRUSSIA OWNS EN-.
one Country Has Tested Public Ownership
of Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Counsul Monaghan,
at Chemnitz, Germany, sent to the state depart
ment report on Prussian railroads.
State ownership of railroads." he says,
plays an important part in Prussia's finances.
Earning enormous sums, serving commerce aud
manufacturers in times of peace and for all
strategic purposes in times Of war, they have
more than justified the arguments that urged
the government TO own them and the liberal
policies that have put them down and pushed
them out into all parts of the empire"
Inc receipts for IS96-o7 have gone beyond
the estimate of the budget of 1920, 1922 400
MARKS and the estimate for 1S97-98 is 1,I1o,-
2Io,35o marks, while the total income of the
kingdom is only slightly more than ,ooo, ooo,-
600 marks After giving statistics in some de-
tail, the consul continues:
mo other branch of public property pays so
surely and so we'll. The certainty of the re-
celpts, their size, the ease with which they are
obtained, and their cash character, render them
most useful of all the moneys turned into the
public treasury. How successfully they are run,
IN other respects, whether better than they
would have been under private ownership, it is
hard to say. The state has had its hands on
the road from the very beginning. Seeing how
successfully they would aid armies, and also
how necessary they would be in the develop
ment of the empire Prussia did not hesitate
to take the railroads over tc the state. Their
quas-public character has helped the people to
understand that they should be controlled at
least, if not owned, by the state. The tenden
cy all over the empire is toward state and city
ownership of all kinds of transportation facil-
tiles as we'll as Of telegraphs, telephones and
other means of communication.

either by international agreement or otherwise,

socialists, and there are hundreds in other
counties. We have published but little on the
subject for couple of weeks, but we have sew

Socialism has come to stay.
