NAMING THE eAsV.

Lawsuit TO Decide whether the Right
BELONGS 40 the Father or Mother.
The question as to whether the nam
ing of the baby belongs, as a matter Of
right, to the baby's father or to the
baby's mother is raised in queer law
suit originating in Eastkiil, in the
heart of the Catsl1ill mountains, re-
ports the Albany Law Journal. The
plaintiff is Ole Halvcrson. Swede. who
cultivates a small farm on the noun
tain side. He las sued for damages
Rev. j. G.. Remerton. a German Luth-
eran minister of the same place, and the
pleadings set forth the following state
of facts: Mr.. and Mrs. Halverson have
son of tender years. The former de-
sired that the boy should be called Os-
car, after the present monarch of Mr..
IIalyerson's fatherland. Mrs. Halver-
son dislkes the name Oscar and was
determined that the baby should not
be burdened Herewith. Mr.. and Mrs.
Halverson took the baby TO the clergy
man to be christened.
Mr.. Halverson requested the minister
to name the child Oscar. but Mrs. Hal
verson had already talked the reverend
gentleman over. and to Mr.. Halverson's s
surprise and indignation the boy was
not christened Oscar, but something
else, whereby Mr.. Halverson suffered
serious disappointment, loss of author
ity in his household, laceration of feel
lings, etc, for which he prays damages
The clergyman's defense is that he
christened the child in accordance with
the wishes of the mother, whose rights
in the premises he considered para
mount. The case brings up a move
question in Jurisprudence. the decision
of which will be regarded with interest
in thousands of families throughout
the land.

A NEW WESTERN IpEA


Girls Who Give Gold ModeIs of Their
Little Fingers to Their netrOthed.
DO girls here give gold models of
their little fingers to their fiances?"
asked the western girl of the Gotham
ite. reports the New York Sun.
Heavens, mol" answered the Goth
amite. ut seems to me that that is
rather grewsome souvenir"
''Not at ALL" answered the western
girl; sit is decidedly dainty, and I'm a
little surprised that New York is so far
behind the times. The fad started in
this way. When the daughter of one
of our big western politicians was six
months old he had model of her little
finger cast in gold Around the little
dimpied digit is a ring of turquoise,
which is her birth stone, and it makes
alovely charm forher betrothed's watch
chain. He valued it so much that it
set other men TO thinking. and the re-
suit is that as soon as a girl wraps one
of these chaps around her own little
finger sufficiently for proposal to fol
low he Immediately insists upon gold
facsimile Of the flesh and blood orig.
inal. 1t is a pretty conceit, and is be
ing followed by every westerner who

/ Can prompt surgical aid save the life
of a man stabbed through the heart?
1t has always been held that any at
tempt to operate directly upon the
heart was worse than foolish, and that
to sew up a lesion in the heart prop
er without killing the patient would be
an absolute impossibility. says an eX-
change.
Yet DR.. Rehe, of Frankfort, Germany,
at meeting of the surgical congress
i'm Berlin recently, reported a success
full operation of the kind-the first in
the history of surgery-and produced
his patient living and well before the
assembled scientists TO attest its truth.
Describing the case, DR.. Rehe said
the man had been stabbed in the right
side of the heart. He was conveyed with
great haste to a hospital and taken di-
rectly to the operating room. The sur
geon laid bare the heart in few sec
onds and found a wound in the right
side of the organ. lie sewed up the or
ifice and applied general treatment for
arresting hemorrhage. The heart
worked violently during the operation.

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE

THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF a BIG
VESSEL NOW IN THE DELLA
WARE.
A dispatch to the Maritime Exchange
yesterday stated that the Norwegian
bark Canute, which sailed from Ship
Island on July q, in command Of Cap
tain Saxegaarde, with a cargo of heart
pine lumber for Fecamp. put I'm at the
Delaware Breakwater on Sunday, leak
ing and in tow of the tug Atkins
Hughes.
Captain Saxegaarde reported having
been caught In a squall in the Gulf Of
Mexico on August 6, during which the
vessel was strained, causing some Of the
seams to open. The weather continued
squally, preventing the vessel putting
in at any port until the capes were
reached when the tug Atkins Hughes
took her I'm tow.
The vessel Is leaking at the rate of
ten inches an hour and when the Break
water was reached the crew were al
most exhausted by continuous work at
the pumps A survey will be held on
the vessel to-day Lewes wreckers yes

Wise Country Folk Are Much Inter
estcd in Him.
In the edge of Wise county, Va, not
far from Pound Gap, lives one of the
most scholarly men in the south. He is
a hermit, living in mountain cabin,
with no companion save his dogs, says
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Forty years ago Henry Lewis was a
leading society man of Baltimore, but
the girl whom he loved proved false.
He fled to the old world. hoping to
drown his love amid the gay scenes OF
Paris, London and Rome. Later he
went to Egypt, passed through Asia
and returned to America the day after
Fort Sumter was fired upon.
lie joined the confederate army and
served with distinction TO the close of
the war. After the war Lewis bought
his mountain cabin and has been liv-
ing the life of a recluse ever since. He
has a fine library, Of which he makes
good use.
Once a month he goes to the neigh
boring village and lays in his supplies
He is a fine linguist and is well versed
in geology. mineralogy, ornithology
but never talks upon these subjects un
less requested to do so by those whC
visit him.
Lewis is nearing 20 and is growing
feebler every day and it can't be long
before he passes away. 1t is the opinion
of the country folk that Lewis is only
an assumed name and that on his death
bed he will reveal his identity.

gfis WORK ESfccmcd che World over
wherever Machines Arc Used.
The Same Of the American machinist
exteuos everywhere; bis ingenuity in
planning and his skill in execution are
known wherever man uses machines
aud tools. If there is any one branch
of work in which he excels more than in
another il is in the building Of special
machinery, by which is meant ma
chimes not kept in stock or regularly
manufactured. but specially devised
and made for special uses. says an ex-
change.
For instance, man designs some ar
ticle Of use which he works up by hand,
or by the aid Of machinery. To pro-
duce this article in quantities, at such
a cost that IL can be sold at a profit,
special machinery is required. The
designer or inventor takes the article
90 the builder OF machines and says:
"Can you make a machine that win
make these things. and viii you guar
qntee it to work?" Ii is altogether
probable that the machine builder an
swers yes TO both questions. because
there is practically nothing that he can
not do.
Special machinery is built for a wide
variety Of uses. As the knowledge of
American skill in this direction, now
long familiar, has spread, orders have
come from all over the world and spe.
cial machinery is sent from here also
Cor use in enterprises installed OF
conducted by Americans in foreign
countries.
Such machinery. for various uses, IS
shipped from this country almost every
where. One big machine shop tina
is largely engaged in the pro
duction Of special machinery sends
probably n third Of its work out of tn,
country. 1t has sent machines to every
land.

IN LAMPPosT LETTER BOXES.


Not Many Things of VaIue Found
There-Dend Mice Dropped In,
"Ever find things in the boxes2" was
asked of post Office collector who was
taking the letters from a lamppost LETT
ter box.
"Some, but not such an eyerlastinglot,
either" was the reply. says the New
York Sun. ~ thief fleeing from
his pursuers once dropped a watch
in a lamppost letter box, so that it
would not be found upon his person nor
along the line of his fight; but watches
are not commonly found in lamppost
letter boxes.
"Once when came up TO a letter box
I found standing by ii a policeman and
woman. The policeman said that the
woman had dropped a dollar bill into
the box between some letters and she
wanted to get il back. The rules of the
post office require that anything that
may be found in the boxes shall be
turned in at the post Office; the loser
must apply for it there. If I had found
any money in this box 1 should have
been compelled to turn it IN. But there
wasn't any money there; the lady must
have lost it or have left it somewhere
else.
"As a matter of fact not many things
Of value are dropped into lamppost let
ter boxes. Uptown you find a dead
mouse in a box occasionally, but that's
about all. Children put the mice in the
box-they find a dead mouse in the
street and think it's funny to put it in
a lamppost letter box"

Origin of Polo.

Polo is one of the oldest games known
to civilization, says an exchange. II

LIlassa on the tableland of Thibet,

tine emperor, Manuel Comnenus l.,

II seems to be a pleasant diversion
for the lads on steamboat excursions to
loudly guy some of the New Castle
youngsters who have gone down to take
look at the Philadelphia girls. This
always causes warm time, and some
times precipitates a row.
Policeman Harrington happened to be
on Delaware street wharf last evening
in time to prevent a scene when the
steamer Favorite came in.
The Philadelphia guys began with:
"Hey, Cyl got last weeks TEMP or
This amt you're best shirt, is it?

Then the New Castle contingent
would shout back:
"Pull your head in; you amt regis
