Naming the Baby.
the Albany Law Journal.

From the Albany Law Journal
The question as to whether the naming
of the baby belongs as a matter OF right.
to the baby's father or to the baby's
mother is raised in a queer lawsuit orig
mating In Eastkill, in the heart of the
Catskill mountains. The plaintiff Is Ole
Halverson. a Swede. who cultivates q
small farm on the mountain side. He has
sued for damages Rev. ]. @. Remerton, q
German Lutheran minister Of the same
place, and the pleadings set forth the fol-
lowing state OF facts: Mr.. and Mrs Hal
former desired that the boy should be
called Oscar. after the present monarch of
Mr.. Halvcrson's fatberland. Mrs Halverson
dislikes the name of Oscar, and was de-
termined that the baby should not be bur-
dened Herewith Mr.. and Mrs. Halverson
took the baby to the clergyman to be chris
tened. Mr.. Halverson requested the min
lister to name the child Oscar, but Mrs.
Halverson had already talked the reverend
gentleman over, and, to Mr.. Halverson's
christened not Oscar, but something else
whereby Mr.. Halverson suffered serious
disappointment, loss of authority In his
household. laceration of feelings. ETC., for
which he prays damages. The clergyman's
defense is that he christened the child In
accordance with the wishes of its mother
whose rights in the premises ne considered
paramount. The case brings up a novel
question In Jurisprudence, the decision Of
which will be regarded with interest In
thousands of families throughout the land.

to spare for small deals.
AS for getting credit. Il Is the first step
that costs. OF course. but a man can be-
gin by referring people to his landlord and
the tradesmen with whom he deals il he
can do no better. II he has no accounts
anywhere. he must set about having them:

In time get trusted for larger ones The
nrst requisite to wealth Is not money, but
credit. Get credit. and you will do bust
ness amounting to an indefinite number of
times your capital.
without dilating further on the aivan-
tases or credit. let me give you an Illus
tration of the disadvantages of doing busi-
ness on a cash basis. A country merchant
L knew who had always paid cash for ey-
erything he bought and did a correspond
ingly small business, determined finally to
enlarge his trade. and to do this required
the credit he had never before asked for
When he came to town and asked the men
to whom he had always paid cash to let
him have goods on time. they one and all
became suspicious of him and refused. The
very fact that he had always paid cash
made them think. when he finally asked
for credit. that he wasn't safe man to
trust Moral: Never pay cash for anything
If you would avoid suspicion"

Dean Swift mt the Wedding.

Dean Swift was walking on the Phoenix
road, Dublin. when thunderstorm sud-
denly came on. and he took shelter under
tree where party were sheltering also
two young women and two young men.
One Of the girls looked very sad. till. as the
rain fell. her tears began to flow. The
dean inquired the cause and learned that
it was her wedding day. They were on
their way to church, and now her white
clothes were wet. and she could not go.
Never Mindful marry you," said the
dean: and he took out his prayer book and
then and there married them, their wit
nesses being present; and. to make the
thing complete. he tore a leaf from his
pocket book. and with his pencil wrote and
signed a certificate. which he handed to
the bride.
The certificate was worded as follows:
Under tree, in stormy weather l mar
ried this man and woman together: let
ncne but Him who rules the thunder
sever this man and woman asunder.
JONATHAN SWIFT.
Dean of st. Patrick's."

Base hall Notes.

Yesterdays poStponement was great
disappointment to about 1900 dyed-in-the-
WOOL fans. who journeyed to National Park
to see the New York Washington contest,
but when they learned that Capt. Brown
deemed it best to have good grounds for
his men very little nurmuring resulted.
Today two games will be played for one
admission. and likewise tomorrow, and
great crowds will no doubt turn out. Nc
James and King will pitch today for the
senators. while Rusie and Meekin are
slated for the same work for the visitors.
tomorrow Mercer, and probably Swain,
VIII do their best to hold the Giants in
check.
Everybody at the grounds yesterday re-
marked on the friendly spirit that seemed
TO pervade the New York ranks while the
players were practicing at National Park
before the game vas called off. Harmony
Is everything and in an aggregation like
the New Yorks adds at least % per cent
to the strength Of their game.
Nops was gfvensa good trouncing by the
E Eostons Yesterday anf 1t now remains for
pitching corps to go killing. How the other
clubs will jump onto 1.-THE Orioles II they
once get them gong god and hard.
Dick Harley was at the bat six times
yesterday at Pittsburg. and secured six
hits. Not a bad showing for a new man
In the big league. The Cincinnati news
paper men praise Dick to the skies for his
sensational work In that city:
The Philadelphia players have sent q
signed communication to Messrs Reach
and Rogers. denying the story that they
are lying down. on Manager Stallin9s.
but the club lost. just the same. OF course,
the players will deny all reports of this
kind, but there are more ways than one OF
killing on an objectionable manager.
Stallings Is not popular with the men, and
1t hampers his work and theirs.
1t looks as though about seven Eastern
League clpbs are afraid Of the Torontos
Yesterday the Syracuse club did the baby
act by lofusing to play after the game had
teea called in the fifth inning. taking ref
uge behind technicaiity that the time

From the Chicago Times Herald.
He is the pink of neatness and propriety.
he Is violently in love with the sweetest
girl in town. and. to add to the misery of
these absorbing circumstances, he is at
present decidedly poor. The latter condi-
ton is of recent date. however and it was
only last week that he donned the first
ready-n,ade suit which had ever graced-
or. as he considered. disgraced-his ward

into the room. after getting into it, and
turned nervously around before them
Does it lit decently?" he queried in an
agony of doubt "Why-y-y, what's the
matter? Oh. yes. a tag. 1 suppose all this
sort of clothing is tagged. isn't it?'
Never before. surely, were garments
tagged as were those. however; there was
tag on the hem of each trouser leg one
upon the left coat tail and another on his
vest 'front.' and still another on the sleeve
waiting impatiently while all the visible
bits of figured cardboard were cut away,
they called him back to remove still an
other. The result was that he finally reach

for the theater in haste. He noticed, lust

was half over before he gathered courage
to speak Of the subject himself.
How do you like my new cIothes?" he
asked at last with what calmness he could

USES FOR CHERRY PITS.
Handy Things for NevvsbOys to Ca
BILE With.

Handy Things for Nev.boys to Gam
BILE With.
From the New York Sun.
Since cherries have become cheap enough
to be handled by the push-cart peddlers
number Of Italians have been picking up
the pits thrown away on the streets by
cherry eaters. A diminutive italian girl is
the most persistent worker of the kind
seen hereabouts. She appears at the en-
trance to the Brooklyn bridge soon after
noon. and few cherry pits around there es-
cape getting into the wooden box she car
ries under her arm. A bridge policeman
stopped the girl a few days ago and asked
her what she was going to do with the
cherry pits.
Make medicine" she replied
What kind of medicine?" asked the cop
per.
mo speak English" said the girl as she
went on gathering the pits.
That's always the way with them Eye
ITALIANS said the policeman to a bystander.
III you ask them question they'll give
you Knockout blow by telling you they
can't talk the langwidge.'
Park row Is fertile hunting ground for
the pit gatherers and the quantity of pits
that can be gathered in a few hours Is
surprising. With box or a bag in which
to carry the pits the p;ckers work along
the streets where the cherry push carts are
stationed. They scour the cutters and
roadways. and seem to be oblivious to
everything but what they are seeking.
Gable cars and trucks have no terrers for
them.
Besides the made of the pits as a
medicine. the newsboys gather them to play
with. They play a sort of marble game
with the pits, but 1t Is not 4 popular game
because cherry pits are easy to obtain
Two players take part in the game. Each
player furnishes a pit. and the players
alternately take the two pits in one hand
shake them ard drop them on the ground
The pits bound apart when they strike the
ground. Then the player lays the index
finger OF one hand on the ground between
the pits and with one of his other fingers
drives one pit toward the other. If he hits
it he wins. If he misses the other player
wins. The stakes are the pits used in
playing.

Joke on a Canary.

from the fnllaueipnln llef0r0.
A practical Joke that was played on Chas.
Maurer Of 18th and CaliowhiH streets early
last spring has resulted in something likely
to puzzle the brains CT several uptown
naturalists. Mr.. Maurer Is a great lover
Of birds. Last spring one Of his canary
birds was busy with a nest of eggs. and
Mr.. AIaurer was much excited as the
mother bird AS a joke Curtis Souder re-
moved the eggs. and in their place put
three Of the sparrow variety. Now. in the
course Of time those eggs were Matched
and both mother bird and master were
greatly bewildered at the odd-looking bird
let's. The joke in some way leaked out
but as the mother bird was treating her
foster children tenderly Mr.. Maurer de-
cided to let them remain and watch the
result. After the sparrows got a little
older 1t was noticed that the canary would
put them in a row and chirp TO them,
after which the sparrow5 would try to imi-
tate her. Perseverance on the canary's
part has resulted in three ugly sparrows
that are beginning to sing. and it's a toss
up as to whom the joke Is on.
