CHILDREN AT THE CIRCUS.
MI. Bailey Will Entertain 5000 Lit
tie Ones From Hospitals and
Homes

New York, April 17-This is chill
dren's day at the circus. Six thousand
youngsters, into whose lives there come
but few rays of sunshine, are to enjoy
a spectacle which they have been
looking forward to for months. Fol
lowing his annual custom, Mr. Bailey
has set aside this afternoon for the en-
tertainment of the inmates of all the
charitable institutions for children in
the city of New York
Thirty of them will be represented.
ST. Bartholomew home will send 400
and so will the United Hebrew Chart
ties. There will be 325 from theProtest-
ant Episcopal mission, 300 from the
Children's Aid society, Avenue B school
and the other institutions that will
send from 25 to $50.
It is safe to say that there will be
nothing in the bewildering multiplicity
of wonders that will amuse the little
ones today more than the bulldog who
plays handbaI with his nose" The
dog has mastered the game 50 thor
oughly that he can now send the ball
twenty-five feet into the air, striking
it with the crown of his head or the
tip of his nose.

PURE WATER FOR SCHOOLS
Twenty Buildings Will Have Boiling
Apparatus

Chicago, April 1.-THE board of ed
ucation decided last night to equip 20
school buildings with apparatus for
boiling drinking water and to furnish
all other buildings with germ proof"
filters.
There are about 200 schools, including
the rented buildings. All former bids
were rejected and the committee on
buildings and grounds was instructed
to make new specifications secure bids
and report to the board next Wednes-
day night. The boilers and filters must
be such as shall pass the test of the
board of health.
DR.. w. r. Harper and J. F. Wolf of
the special committee made a report,
recommending that all buildings with
steam heating plants be equipped with
apparatus for boiling water. and that
the remainder be furnished with fill
tiers.
There are between 60 and 20 buildings
heated by steam. Because of the I'M
certainty of the cost of operating the
boiling apparatus the recommendation
was rejected, and L. o. KOhtz's prOpo-
sition for filters was favored. DR.. Har-
per then urged that the boiling appa-
ratus ought to be put in 20 schools in
order that the board might get exact
information as to the cost for future
action.
With that amendment the proposition
for filters passed unanimously.

LUCKY BALDWIN IN DEBT.
He Borrows $85, 900 Making His In
debtedness 81, $4,000.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE Hiber-
MIA Bank yesterday put on record a
mortgage given by E. J. Baldwin for
$85 900, covering the Baldwin Hotel
property and annex, his home on Cali
fornia street near Jones, resident prop
erty on Webster street near Fell, bust
ness property on Stevenson street, bust
ness property in Los Angeles and
ranches in Los Angeles county. The
Indebtedness is payable in one year and
bears 61A per cent per annum.
In addition to the mortgage, the
bank filed an assignment from Baldwin
for the rent and all other income from
his business property to secure the pay
ment of interest on several loans which
have been made to him. His total in
debtedness to the bank as represented
by mortgages now aggregates 81, SO 000
When questioned regarding the new
loan last night, Baldwin said:
Il have borrowed the money to pay
other obligations, preferring to borrow
rather than to sell any property during
the present depression in prices. There
is no foundation for the rumor that
am in danger of bankruptcy. I have
enough unincumbered property left on
which I might borrow a million or two
if necessary. The passage of a protect
i've tariff will make all of my enter
prises pay and make it easy for me to
pay all 1 owe"

KEEP OUT CANADIAN HAY.
A Nebraskan Says a Tariff on Hay
Would Prevent Heaves in
New York

New York, April 1.-THE Dingley
bill should provide a higher tariff on
hay" said DR.. W. H. H. Dunn of Ne
bUaska this morning. DR.. Dunn is
a large hay and hemp grower. He is
staying at the Continental hotel.
I would like to see a duty of 81 or IS
a ton on hay" he continued. This
would help the east and west, benefit
all farmers and keep out Canadian hay.
Good hay can be bought in New York
for $12 and $14 a ton at retail 1t is
selling al this low figure because large
quantities of hay are shipped into this
country from Canada. In the west, in
Kansas and Nebraska, hundreds of
thousands of tons of good hay rot every
year on the ground. This is sweet prai-
RE grass, and is excellent for horses. In
Nebraska fine baled hay can be bought
for $3.50 a ton.
"A tariff of So would keep out all Ca
madam hay and would enable the east
ern farmer to get a great deal more for
his product. Then all of the hay that
rOts on the ground in the west could be
utilized, and it would all sell for a good
figure.
I observe that there are many horses
in New York that have the heaves.
They have had poor hay. With an So
tariff these horses could get the benefit
of good, wholesome hay from the west
and it would not cost any more than
poor hay costs now"

where dinner was being prepared, he
noticed an unusually large hind foot of
a Jack rabbit which had once belonged
to the animal stewing in the pot. He
had left the camp to take his train,
which was about to start, but he hap
pened to think that he ought to have
that rabbits foot and back he FASTENED,

FOR SKELETON RECORDS.
New Law Abolishes Important Su-
preme Court Rule.


A bill of interest to the legal profess
sion became a law at the last session,
entitled an act amendatOry of section
303 laws of 1889, concerning civil pro-
cedure and exceptions in writing, and
requiring the supreme court to pre-
scribe rules for the making of records
in appeals and proceedings in error to
appellate courts
The first section is the same as Sec
ton 303 of the old law, but adds the
following:
And the error, if any, in its admis-
sion or rejection, shall not be deemed
to be caused by other testimony re-
ceived in the case unless such other tes-
timony is Incorporated in the record
With the further prOViSO: THAT
condensed summary OF the testimony
so as to present the substance thereof
may be made"
Section provides that the supreme
court shall prescribe rules for the max
ing and certifying of records and trans
cTiptS thereof and cases made to the
supreme court and courts of appeal so
as to abridge the same and reduce the
expense and clearly present and facili-
tate the hearing of the error complain
ed of in appeals and proceedings in eT-
ror to such courts.
The practical effect of the law will
be that the position of the supreme
court in the past that all the testimony
had to be Incorporated in the record
Will be obviated and a skeleton record
can be made upon any particular fact
without prejudicinS the party because
the record does not contain all the evil
dence.
This saving to lit3gants will be great
and the court can more easily grasp
the point presented
The measure was prepared by Repre-
sentative Fairchild and practically rev
OlutiOnizes supreme court proceedings.

No man has the slightest legal or

THROUGH PINGREE's HELP.
a Formerly of Kansas Man Gets a
Position in Michigan.

H F. Hatch. formerly of Arkansas
City has effected a deal in Michigan by
which he Will ultimately secure a reap
pointment to his old place as warden of
the state penitentiary at Jackson. Mr..
Hatch was elected superintendent of
the Hutchinson reformatory soon after
the beginning of the Morrill, admins
tration, but through a controversy in
vOlving the purchase of furniture for
the institution, was with the members
of the board of directors permitted to
resign. One of the acts for which
Hatch was freely criticised was the
purchase of an expensive piano for the
reformatory.
Mr.. Hatch was for six years warden
of the Michigan penitentiary but came
to Kansas to enter other business. After
the election upon request he prepared
the parts of the message of Governor
Pingree upon prison work and prison
reform. Soon after that Hatch was ap-
pointed to the position of superintend-
ent of the shirt department at the state
penitentiary. After regaining his resi-
dence in Michigan it is understood, that
Governor Pingree will appoint him to
the position of warden. It is shown by
good evidence that such an agreement
has been made.

Quay Will Now Have Full Swing in

Philadelphia April 17--David Martin
has announced his retirement from the

giving as his reason that the step is in
the direction of peace and harmony.
AIr Martin says that long ago he de-
cided to retire from active parucipa-
ton in municipal affairs. but -refrained
from doing so owing to the efforts made
to drive him out
His retirement will no doubt result in
the recognition of Mayor Warwick as
the local leader. and will permit Sena-
tor Quay to have uninterrupted sway
in state and national affairs. Mr.. Mar
tin will represent his ward in the new
combination to be formed, but will de-
cline to take a more active part.
