Deserted by It's Mother and Left In .
Church.

Deserted by It's Mother and Left In q
Church.
Joseph Long, sexton Of st. Francis
Xavier's church, in New York, went to
his supper at o'clock ON q recent aft.
ernoon, leaving the doors Of the church
open. He returned at I O'Clock and was
met at the foot Of the steps leading into
the church by two well dressed women,
who told him that somebody had left q
baby under the stone steps
The sexton walked down stairs, and
in corner Of the vestibule of the chap
ell found little bundle Of white cloth
ing, which he found contained q baby
about one week old.
The infant was handed over to q po-
liceman, who took il to the West Thir-
tieth street station. The matron found
nothing in the baby's clothing which
might serve as clew to its identity.
The infant was handsomely dressed.
It was wrapped in white flannel coat,
heavily trimmed with expensive lace.
Under that was o white lace dress 80
fine that the underclothing could be seen
through it. A hand worked worsted
hood covered the little baby girls head.
Little worsted shoes and fine merino
stockings covered its little feet. New
York Herald.

IMPROVED METHODS ADOPTED.

The School Committee at q meeting held
last evening adopted by a unanimous vote
the plan for the reorganization of the
Training School system of this city. The
plan presents many features that will ap-
peal to the parent and taxpayer, and will,
II successfully carried out, be a vast i'm
provement over the present methods of
providing the schools of this city In both
the grammar and primary grades with
competent instructors.
Another important feature of the new
plan is the fact that teachers thus selected
for the public schools will be at the time of
their permanent appointment acquainted
with the general plan of instruction which
the School Committee propose to adopt
While taking advantage of the means pro-
vided by the State, the plan in its entirety
involves no additional expenditure of the
moneys of the city. The step taken by the
committee last evening is one decidedly of
progress, and the follower of educational
methods in this city, past and present,
cannot fail to be convinced that the action
speaks we'll tor the Improvement Of meth
DDS in the guardianship of the educational
future of Pawtucket.

THE WICKED BABY CITY.

1t is plain that the city of Central Falls
has been picked out by the robber class as
an especially srable field. Crimes OF
greater or less magnitude have been COM
mitted there with wearisome regularity.
Whether the crooks look for unusual
wealth there, or whether they merely
stray that way by mere chance is not yet
determined, but the work goes unmerrily
on. Central Falls, like other cities in
Rhode Island, suffers from q scarcity Of
police protection. The average crook cul-
tivates those spots where there is the least
danger of apprehension, and evidently he
finds the pockets Of our small sister easy
picking. A few more policemen scattered
throughout the city would be exceedingly
beneficial in reducing the number Of hold
ups.
II does not take an especially brave man
to rob a woman. The latest Central Falls
crook will not go laundering down the
ages as particular hero. Dick Turpin, Of
lamented memory, would not have tried a
trick of that kind. Still, we cannot expect
all the graces to be combined in one knight
of the road.

Foretold His Death.

There was singular incident asso-
ciated with the death of 73-year. old
George Erb while saving wood at Con-
GO, Pa, recently. He had apparently
been in good health, but shortly before
his sudden and totally unexpected death
he told his friends how he would like
his funeral conducted and the clergy
men who were to officiate.
Another singular coincidence was the
fact that Mr.. Erb, although a devout
Lutheran, had not for about 20 years
communed with Sassaman's church un-
til the Sunday preceding his death,
when he again partook of the Lord g
Supper with his brethren. He had dis
continued the communion because he
opposed the establishment Of union
Sunday school in the church two dec
AIDES ago. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

fToteCtiuk tno row "ooi8ToWoTs.
Suppose the Dingley duties Oh wool
would give the woolgrowers all the
protection claimed and that the price
Of wool would actually 60 up the full
amount of the duty, which, OF course,
il absurd. What would be tho effect mp
on the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
$55, 900, 900 ont Of q total Of >l3, ,20o,- :
600, 900 produced by all the workers Of
the country and tho persons dependent
on the wool industry at 10000 out Of
a total population Of $4,000, 900. The
wool duty then means that out Of every
240 persons 239 are to be- "held up" for
the benefit Of the other one. This is a
sample Of what protection does. OF
course more than 300, 600 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep, but the
interests Of these others arc more those
Of the consumer than Of the sheep raiser,
and they would lose more because Of in
creased cost of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price Of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the workiDgman. Will they
ever fully appreciate 10?

Hypnotisnn q Fad.

Amateur hypnotic exhibitions, ac-
cording to physicians, are growing too
common in Sioux City, la. The prac-
tice is q fad and is INDUCED in at So
cial gatherings almost every evening at
various places in the city. School chill
dren have taken it up, and boys and
girls yet in knee breeches and short
skirts amuse themselves by throwing
each other into the hypnotic trance
Doctors say this is most injurious to the
subjects, and may be expected to result
in cases of serious illness or possible
deaths. They want the city council to
prohibit the practice except by licensed
physicians. Chicago Times Herald.

HOW WEYLER HAS DONE 1T.

This is the way Captain General Weyler
has pacified Cuba:
Twenty-Five thousand Cuban soldiers
are actively engaged within 80 miles Of
Havana.
Spanish troops are deserting at the rate
Of 800 day.
The Spanish army is refusing to fight
because the Cubans are defeating them in
nine battles out Of ten.
Gen. Gomez has refused all overtures Of
peace.
Spanish troops are so demoralized by
sickness that they cannot be spurred into
sighting.
Spain's eIchequer is so exhausted that
she cannot feed or ciothe her troops, while
Cuba, when she cannot get these things,
fights Just a. we'll without.
Love OF country and hatred of Spain are
stronger than ever in the Cuban breast.
Yes, this 10 the way weyler has pacified
the Island.

It Sounded IN Alarm which Warned Q
Family Of Fire.
A cheap alarm clock probably saved
lives at fire early on recent morning
in four story building in East Fifty
sixth street, New York.
The basement Of the building was oc-
cupied as cabinet making shop The
FIRST floor was occupied by Arnstein &

third floor, and David O'Oonnor, his

and Mclaughlin. aroused, found the
room filled with smoke. He awoke the
other members of the family, who
started to rush down the stairs. They
found that retreat had been cut off in
that direction.
The elder Mclaughlin ran to front
window and shouted. A policeman
heard him and gave the alarm.
In the meantime the Mclaughlin
household ran to the rear of the house
and crawled out of the window upon
an extension, where they dressed and
waited for the firemen, who took them
down from the extension by ladders.

Eton q Typical English Town.

The houses at Elton arc clustered about
the college and look very comfortable with
their broad, ivy covered fronts and win
dow boxes blazing with flowers Instead
of large, common sleeping rooms, the boys
have each a room of his own. These arc
not usually more than 10 feet square, and
besides folding bed, bathtub and wash
stand they contain not only fireplace,
to cook meals, and tea table, but also a
study table and chair and sometimes
o bookcase and ottoman. You wouldn't
think there was much space left for boy
to live in, to say nothing Of making a
racket, but there is. A fayorite joke in
some Of the houses is to gather all the
bathtubs in hall and shove them through
the transom into some poor fellows room.
This fills the room so full that the boy who
owns it has to get the caretaker to drag
out each separate bathtub, amid vast sound
and confusion, before he can go to bed. In
the winter months the boys play football
up and down the halls, using the door at
either end for goal. This also makes
enough noise. But these are not the only
diversions. In number Of rooms you
will find collections of books far larger
and more wisely selected than is usual on
che shelves even Of American university
men.-Harper's Round Table.
