Glad If 1t Were Forty.
Isaac Gassonowitz sat in the front
door of the basement at No. 1875 West
Fourteenth street, Chicago, and tangled
a grimy hand in his gray, struggling
beard. A young man came out of
rear door and touched the man on the
shoulder.
Your thirty-fifth child is boy" said
the young man.
The cry of an infant in the rear room
did not startle Gassonowitz. He had
heard that sound before. He continued
to sit on the stool and smoke black,
short-stemmed pipe.
The young man went outside and
mopped his brow. For several years
he has been the resident physiciisn at
the Chicago Lying-In hospital, az No.
29S West Thirteenth place, which is
situated in the vicinity of large fam
lilies, but he had never had much practice
in family of IS children, and it had a
palpable effect on him. This was DR..
Henry E. Wagner.
The baby weighed 51a pounds and is
doing well. 1t may do splendidly in the
clairvoyant line later, for it was born
with caul and is the multiple of a
seventh son.
This interesting babe will be known as
Alex Gassonowitz.
His mother has given birth to IA chill
dren. She is the second wife of the
baby's father. The first wife bore 81
children to bless their union. Thirty
of Gassonowitz's children were boys.
Gassonowitz is small man, a tin.
smith by trade. He is &C years old.

Ruse of a Woman to Restore IN ABB
Quoted Child to His Parents.
In 1876 careless nurse deserted the
perambulator in which she was wheel
ing the two-year-old son of NJ. f. Brit
ton, then of Montreal, Que, while she
went for short walk with soldier
sweetheart from the local English gar
rison. When the nurse saw it last the
perambulator was standing near the
curb on q leading residence street. The
child was well supplied with toys and
appeared in excellent humor, The girl
was out of sight, she declared, but a few
moments. When she returned her
charge was gone.
The Britton family made every eff
fort to recover the little one, but with
out avail. AS has recently developed it
was stolen by man named Myers in
the hope of securing a reward for it's
return. After the crime was committed
he became so much alarmed that he
never dared claim money from the in
fants family and the child reached the
age of seven still under his care.
Iii 1888 Myers died and for year his
wife kept the boy with her. According
to her account she was greatly troubled
in her conscience all this time and final
ly resolved to devise some plan of re-
turning the lad to his own family. As
she was implicated in her husbands
crime, she feared to go directly to them
with her story and by the way of reach
ing them secured employment as do
mestic in their household. The Brit
tons were without child of their OWL
at the time and when Mrs. Myers sug'
gested that they adopt her son-a
bright lad of ten at that time-they
readily fell in with the plan. Mrs
Myers soon afterward left their employ
She kept up desultory correspondence
with them for several years and finally
dropped entirely out Of their sight. II
the meantime the Brittons and theil
supposedly adopted son removed to {
farm in northern New York and after
ward to another near Akron, Ia.
a few days ago they received lette
from Mrs. Myers in England giving full
particulars Of the abduction of thei
child 81 years ago and the method sh
adopted to return him to his own ia
ther and mother.

WOMAN BACHELORS.

Condemn indiana Organization.

Condemn indiana Organization. d
Miss Frances E. Willard, who is visit
ing in New York, said, concerning the
Woman's Bachelor club, organized at
Bdwardsburg, Ind, and its threatened
invasion of the east:
"To begin with, the name of the club
is a misnomer, and would not belong
to an organization with such title. |
am under the impression that it is des-
tined to live but a short time. 1t will
not spread. 1t is a rush light and will
fail. AS to the effect such movement
will have on the morality of its mem
bers, l regret that such organizations
have tendency to form among those
who belong to them either the liquor or
tobacco habit. 1t is gratifying to know
that women generally are not addicted
to such habits. l cannot see any good
that can come from woman's bachelor
club"
Mrs. Mary T. Burt had little or no SYM
pathy with the bachelors. 81 cannot un'
derstand how woman properly trained
at home can join an organization like
the Woman's Bachelor club" said she
ut is evident that they form those asso
Citations to enjoy privileges that they
are not permitted to indulge in at
home"
Mrs. Elizabeth Grannis set her foot
down squarely on the scheme and was
vigorous in her denunciation OF th'
members of the Edwardsburg organiza
ton. She said: "A club having no oh
iect but pleasure is demoralizing' Suci
clubs do not attract thoughtful, pure
minded women, and have my opinion
/ of anyone who places her name ON tn
membership roll. They are shallow
: rated and are constantly seeking t.
crafty personal love for all kinds Of in
p, dulgences. 1t is the same with man

a MARVELLOUS CAVE.

SubterrancRn Passageway That May
Exceed Mammoth Cave in Size.
The discovery of a vast subterranean
passageway at Castalia, o., has caused
many visitors to inspect a new cave the
past few days. There were visitors
from many surrounding towns. The
cave is situated at the source of Castalia
creek and extends underneath the town.
The people Of Erie county are very
much exercised over the explorations
that are being made. The entrance is
as yet made with difficulty but the
splendor of the interior is marvellous
when shown by the illumination OF
torches. The state geologist will in
spect the cave, after which the opening
will be enlarged. 1t is believed that
this cave is connected with PerTy's cave
at Put-in-Bay and also with Flat Rock
cave, which would make it extend ovel
an area greater than that of Mommotf

British Steamship American Bears
Merchandise Worth $2,OOO,OOO.
Drawing 2S feet of water, the mon
ster four-masted British steamship
American has left her pier at Column
bia stores, Brooklyn, for trip of 6,000
miles to Cape Town, South Africa. With
her the huge vessel will bear the inter-
ests of 1000 shippers of New York, for
that is the number of bills of lading her
cargo represents. Twelve thousand
tons is the measurement of this i'm
mense cargo packed below the Ameri-
cans iron decks, and it means approXi-
mately value of $2,0O0,OOO. This does
rot include 81 mules and "a jackasses
in stalls on the upper deck aft. Seldom
has such q big cargo been taken from
this port by single vessel, and never
had it been of more general character
Almost every conceivable article is rep
resented-everything, in fact, that the
mind could imagine or desire is aboard
this big steamship. The cargo even in
cludes such trifles as face powder ant
artificial teeth, wigs and switches, Il
say nothing of a consignment of glass
eyes and another of artificial legs ant
arms.

That portion of New York society
which clusters about Murray Hill was
amazed when it awoke to learn tina.
Elliott Fitch Shepard, the only son OF
the widowed sister of Cornelius Van
derbilt. had taken unto himself bride,
who is 81 years old, while he is only 20.
Until her first marriage the bride was
Miss Esther Virgins, of Greenport'
L. l.
Her father kept a general store at
Greenport, where he sold such things as
keepers of general stores always SELL
Esther was u great favorite, not only
with the yachtsmen, but with the young
men of the village as well. Finally she
was wooed and won, and the lucky mar
was Alphonzo Potter. His widowed
mother had a country place at Orient
Point, Greenport, and his father had
been a sea captain. They lived together
but two years, and then came separa-
ton by mutual consent. This hap
pened nearly nine years ago. After the
separation Mrs. Potter went back to her
fathers house. She no longer sold
sugar and tea, but she had many oppor-
tunities of meeting the gold-braided
young men of New York, Atlantic and
Larchmont Yacht clubs, and she made
many conquests. She remained there
until seven years ago, when she came
to New York city. From that time un-
til the present she has always been
conspicuous for her beauty. She has
lived in New York city since, and first
met young Shepard when on his visits
home from Harvard college. Her first
husband died five years ago.

To See Plainly.

The more I think of it I find this
conclusion more impressed upon me,
that the greatest thing human soul
ever does in this world is to see some
thing and tell what it saw in a plain
way. Hundreds Of people can talk for
one who can think, but thousands can
think for one who can see. To see clear
ly is poetry, prophecy and religion-all

of Boat Making n Landing.
The City of Brunswick, a small steam
er plying between Jacksonville, Fla,
and Mayport, at the mouth of the St.
Johns, came near being wrecked the
other morning in a big blow by two
huge moccasin snakes. The steamer
was just making landing near bad
dock, surrounded with sunken piling,
when the storm came. She was dashed
up ard the captain ordered hawsers out
TO the dock. Just as the men got ready
to spring out they saw two big, angry
moccasin snakes right in the only place
they could land. Capt. Brown got mad
at the delay and came down from the
pilot house swearing, as the boat was
in great peril. Seeing the snakes, he
had to laugh, even in the storm. Wood
billets were flung at the reptiles, but
they would not move. After several
seconds, or hours, as it seemed to the
captain, he got his shotgun and blew
them TO pieces. Then the deck hands
Jumped to land and secured the boat
A few minutes later it would have been
too late, as the squall that followed was
furious one, and had not the vesse
been tied up she would have been blown
ashore
