NAMING THE BABY.
The Father or Mothers Right to Desig-
nate Their Child.

The Father or Mothers Right to Desig-
nate Their Child.
The question as to whether the naming
of the baby belongs as u matter of right to
the baby's father or TO the baby's mother
was recently raised in "a queer lawsuit orig
mating in Eastkill, in the heart of the
Catskill mountains. The plaintiff is Ole
Halverson, SWcdc, who cultivates "a small
farm on the mountain side. He has sued
for damages Rev. j. G. Remerton, n Ger
man Lutheran minister of the same place,
and the pleadings set forth the following
state of facts
Mr. and Mrs. Halverson have a son of
tender years. The former desired thai the
boy should be called Oscar, after the pres
emit monarch of Mr.. Halverson's father
land. Mrs. Halvcrson dislikes the name
of Oscar and was determined that the baby
should not be burdened Herewith. Mr.
and Mrs. Halverson took the baby TO the
clergyman To DO christened. Mr.. Halyer-
son requested the minister TO name the
child Oscar, but Mrs. Halvcrson had al
ready talked the reverend gentleman over,
and, TO Mr.. Halverson' surprise ana in
dignation, the boy was christened not
Oscar but something else, whereby Mr..
IIalverson suffered serious disappointment,
loss of authority in his household, lacera-
ton of feelings, ETC., for which he prays
damages. The clergymans defense is that
he christened the child in accordance with
the wishes of its mother, whose rights in
the premises he considered paramount.
The case brings up u novel question in
jurisprudence, the decision of which will
be regarded with interest in thousands OF
families throughout the land. Albany

DEATH OF A BRAVE BOY.
his Desperate Encounter with "A Huge
kattIesnaixe.

In n fight with big rattlesnake recent
ly l-year- old Walter Clark of East Strouds-
burg, Pa, gave the reptile its death
wound, but paid his life as the forfeit He
went after the COWS, and when two miles
from home found the snake. He attacked
il with little cane he carried. The snake
quickly coiled, and with terrible spring
buried its fangs through the c~lds shirt
waist into his tender flesh. With a cry of
pain the lad leaped forward on the snake.
Again with a fierce hiss and maddened
rattle the reptile cOiled and darted its poi
sonous tongue az the boy, striking him In
the leg. Then the little fellow fought
iercely. He threw away his cane and
fought with club, but on every advance
was terribly bitten.
Numbed by the poison in his body he
fell by the roadside. There his older broth
er found him. He was lyingiin the road,
bleeding from half dozen wounds. His
tongue, as thick ms radish, told his aw
full tale The snake was hanging on "a
bush 1t measured 4 q feet in length and
had II rattles.
Lifting the limp form the brother car
ried it as far AS his strength would permit,
and then ran home for assistance. Whisky
was poured down the throat of the son by
the father and onions and kerosene oil
placed on the snake bites, which covered
his left arm, his left breast and his right
leg.
All night the boy fingered, suffering
frightful agony. The sufferer gradually
grew weak, and in the morning his legs
and arms burst after swelling to their ut
most tension. AS the sun broke through
the east at dawn the agony ended, and "A
sheet was pulled over the silent form of
the sufferer. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Mrs. Johanna D~pycr hnd "A slight ac-

and that fact so turned her bend that shts
became apparently insane IL was while
she was stopping at mineral spring in
Austria that the c2arina OF Russia and
some of the members of her household
talked with Mrs Dreyer who is very
clever and well educated woman. She ls
such bright and interesting converse
tionalst that when she was arraigned in
New York recently, charged with insanity
by her husband, Joseph Dreyor, the magis
trate paid no heed to the line of waiting
policemen, but let her talk on for nearly
an hour.
She Is 35 years old, good looking and
well dressed, with a sweet voice. She said
she was married in Odessa, Russia, 16s
years ago and came to this country with.
her husband, who was merchant, IL,
years ago. They lived happily until late
ly, when he refused to pay the household
expenses and finally lured her into "a sani
tarium. She acknowledged that she had.
called at the mayors office and demanded
81 900, 900 compensation for being incar-
cerated in the sanitarium. She told the
magistrate she had written two letters to.
the czarina of Russia and expected some
money from her, as her majesty seemed to-
take an interest In her when in Austria.
"You can see by my talk" she con-
tinued, "that L am not insane. The charge
is ridiculous"
Mr.. Dreyer said his wife had made his 2
life miserable for u year, since contact
with royalty had turned her head. She
broke up his business and when he got
employment AS tailor she caused him to
lose it. She created disturbance at every
place they went TO board, and they had to-
move every two days or so. A few nights
preceding she assaulted him with heavy
cane, and he was afraid she would kill
him. So he CAUSED her arrest.
