BABY WEIGHS ONE POUND.
Annette Passeckel the Smallest In
FAINT Ever Born in New York.

New York, Sept 6.-When the Passeckels
received an expected addition to their
family recently doll baby came, to
them Little Annette is the smallest
child ever born in Gotham. When, eight
days old, though born of parents who to-
gether weigh nearly 400 pounds, Annette
tipped the scales a just one pound, one
and one-half ounces.
The neighbors daily flock to see the lit
tie one. Notwithstanding her dimtnu-
tixe size she is perfectly formed, and with
proper care and nOuriShment there is no
doubt she will flourish and grow up to be
a gOod-sized woman. This at least is the
opinion of the doctors of the noreastern
dispensary, in East Forty ninth street,
who were called to attend the mother
since the birth of the Tiny DOLL for that
is what her little brothers call Annette.
The couple has three other children, OF
whom the smallest, a girl. weighed four
teen POUNDS at her birth. and the heaviest
son, sixteen at his birth The father
is 6 feet inches in height and his OR
mai weight is 100 pounds. The mother
IS above the average height and boasts
as much aVolrdupOis as her husband: AS
far back as they can remember their an
cestorS nave been large.
A distressing, feature of the event is The the
destitute condition of the family: The
father recently returned from the city hos
pital, where he was i'll for months with
pneumonia He is not yet strong, enough
to work, although he has been looking Tor
employment in vain.

Justice SABBATH Adopts an Indiana
Wait, Who Robs Him of $25.
Chicago, Sept. 6.-Justice SABBATH has
cast off his judicial robes between Office
hours and is playing detective. This is
the result of his generosity to Edward
Weckler, IA years old. whom he be
friended in court. The lad disappeared

cold morning last winter. The lads
were Henry Terry and Edward Week
Ter. They were each about IA years old.
The Terry boy had run away from
home at Fort Wayne, Ind, and had
met the Weckler boy on his way to
Chicago.
Justice SABBATH took pity on the lads
and kept the Terry boy until his father
called and took him home. The Week
Ter boy, however, was an orphan and
the magistrate took an interest in him
and adopted the boy. Justice SABBATH
gave Edward $25 and sent him to the
postofffce to buy a money order. Ed

BUILDS HER A NEW NOSE.
New York Surgeon Crafts Julia Eng
Iehauser's Arm to Her Face.

New York. Sept. 6-Part of little Julia
Englehauser's right arm has been
grated to her face to take the place
of her nose lost in an accident in New
York. The surgeon hopes the expert
ment will restore her to reasonably
good looks.
A short time ago the child was play
ing in the street, when she was attack
ed by a dog, which seized her face In
its jaws, decorating her cheeks and bit
ing off her nose. Surgeons skillfully
saved the little one from bleeding to
death, but her face was in a condition
frightful to behold.
AS both of her parents were dead the
child was sent to an orphan asylum.
Her plight won the sympathy of the
officials, but when the other children
saw her they ran, screaming IN fear
Nothing that the attendants could do
would pacify them until the distorted
child was taken away.
SO 1t was necessary to deny admission
TO the asylum to the child In the
nope, however, that surgical treatment
might replace her nose the child was
sent to a hospital, and there the sur
geon consented to operate upon her.
II the child's nose had been simply
distorted it would have been an easy
matter But with all the tissue and
even the carriages missing it was
oellcate and difficult operation in plaS-
TIC surgery to replace the organ. After
CLOSING the nasal passages the child's
arm was bound firmly across her face.
The heshy part of the arm was directly
over the place where her nose had been.
Inc surgeon intended to graft a por-
ton OF the arm upon the little girls
face
The case was watched with intense
interest by a number of physicians and
students 1t was efficiently carried out,
and when 1t was done and the child
rallied rapidly.
The doctor is uncertain whether the
operation will be successful, but hopes
child's sorrOwful plight.

TO THEFT BY VANITY.
Little Mamie Smith Steals to Provide
Her Doll a New Dress.


New York, Sept. 6-Vanity is the
cause of the arrest of 7-year-old Mamie
Smith of Jersey City. The passion for
finery has made the child a criminal
Exhibiting the keenness of a grown
person, or with the transparent in
nocence of a guileIess child, this tot in
short dresses shows no consciousness of
guilt.
The child and her brother entered
the clothing store of Edward Capinas
and without the slightest nervousness
to betray them executed as clever a
trick of shoplifting as is credited to
professional thieves.
The boy engaged the shopkeeper in
conversation. He said he wanted TO
buy pair of trousers and completely
engrossed Capinas' attention while pre-
tending to inspect the garments dis
played The girl, watching her OPP
portunity. slipped two pairs OF boy
knee pants under her cloak and Mo
them so cleverly that Cap1nas had no
suspicion whatever.
He missed the clothing after the chill
dren had left the store and ran out
after them. Under the girls cloak were
the telltale trousers BeneVIng ne nso
to deal with the apt pupils Of some
thief, Capinas turned them over TO the
police At the station house the girl
was closely questioned.

vouchsafed, and neither she nor her

To the surprise of the police, a neatly
dressed woman appeared at the statlon

SUNS RAYS FOR FUEL.
Boston Scientist Devises a Scheme to
Operate an Engine Herewith.


Brooklyn, Sept. 6.-That long cherish
ed dream of scientists of utilizing the
suns rays as fuel to make steam and
thus revolutionize the industries is be-
ing worked out near Brooklyn, by a
Boston scientist. Passengers on the
cars of the Boston and Albany railroad
are attracted by the sight of a peculiar
iron frame work surrounded by mir
rors. This is a part of the first solar
engine ever built.
For some time a number of Boston
capitalists have been working on this
machine, and recently the completed
solar engine, crude though it is, was
given a successful test.
The running of engines without fuel,
by the direct use of the suns rays, has
occupied the attention of scientific men
in all ages of experiment That it has
been brought to a success the Boston
men interested in the present machine
believe, and from the results of the
tests it may be said that the direct use
of solar power seems only to be a ques-
ton of commercialisn. 1t remains to
be determined that the Boston device
is the best or most practicable of its
kind.

Rose started to talk to the man. but he

further off only to repeat his former &C

He wore blue trousers and a loose white

others believe he is a criminal in hiding.
In this latter case he would probably quit

come well known.
