DAVID HELD THE BABY.
This because Young Woman Was De-
tanned on a Fast Train.


There were only four persons in tho
marty. including very small and silent
baby. but their advent caused u revolution
of emotions in the Car, which was com
pletely filled with passengers. The under
sized father and portly mother of the baby,
together with Cousin En-, boarded the
train at c., bound for New York, and,
AS il was a Jersey coast express train on
The Pennsylvania railroad, the stop at
was of short duration. Immediate
~ after the train started the announce
menb was made in three different vocal
KEYS that Cousin En- was being carried
away from home against her volition.
Here! Stop this train David Stop it,

the babys mother, pushing her little hus-
band toward the door of the car.
'Stop the train, conductor! Hold Ter
mn, Hold er up" echoed the husband,
running frantically down the aisle. eyes,
for goodness sakes, let me off, chimed
in Cousin Elm shrilly. - amt fit to go

The conductor, however, was somewhere
else and the brakeman's authority did not
extend beyond keeping the excited young
woman from jumping off the fast moving
train With "a wall Of despair therefore,
Cousin En- retreated to the center OF tho
car and proceeded to relate to the passen-
gers how she had only come aboard "to

an emphasis that brooked no dissent.
David handed out 10 cents and quietly took
the baby.

Position In Society.

To all those who spend their time
wondering how other people live we
would suggest that an examination of
the plaintiffs petition in the case OF
Schneider versus Hosier, 2 ONO st
9S, might throw some light on the sub
ject. 1t was suit under a civil damage
act, and the plaintiff alleged in her pc
tition that she twas the wife Of one
Zimri Hosier, on whose good conduct,
frugality and personal labor she was
dependent for the support of herself and
their seven minor children, for the
proper culture and moral training of
the latter. and, TO good extent, for
her own position Ill society. The SAID
Zimrl 1losier, when not intoxicated or
laboring under the effects Of intoxica-
ton, was an industrious laboring man
and regularly earned and received for
his labor 81 90 u day" There's man
agement for you. Seven children and a
wife supported, the children properly
cultured and morally trained and tho
wife's position il society maintained
all on ST 80 day. Perhaps there may
have been exteuuating circumstances in

A Bag Full of Breath.

The pneumatophor, an Austrian
invention for enabling miners tiremen.
etc, to breathe when surrounded by
after damp, smoke or uoXious fumes Of
any kind, consists Of al alright rubber
bag containing a steel bottle OF pure
oxygen at pressure Of 100 liters and n
metal protected glass bottle containing
q 20 per cent solution Of caustic soda.
The oxygen can be admitted by hand
screw into the bag and drawn into the
mouth through a rubber tube the nose
being closed by clip. The turn of an
other hand screw breaks the glass bottle,
allowing the caustic soda to flow out
and be absorbed by a knitted network
in the bag to absorb the carbOnic acid
exhaled, allowing the oxygen to be re-
breathod, the apparatus being capable
of furnishing oxygen enough to last
from so to 30 minutes, as has been at
tested by numerous experiments.

work during the Winter. The trees are
reduced TO trunks with a few score Of
huge stumps several feet long in the
places where the former beautiful

comes frcm the ignorance of the origi-
nal planter in selecting unfit trees. The
silver maple and Canadian poplar (mis-
called Carolina poplar) are utterly un-
fitted for street trees. They grow rap-
idly. and are for this reason very use

Another Dismembered Body Found Float

ing In the East River.
NEW YORK, FEB. 9.--The police Of
this city have another murder mystery
to unravel, which appears from the out
set to be almost equal in horrible de-
tails to that Of the Guldensuppe murder.
Yesterday the horribly mutiated and
nude body Of man was found floating
in the East river. The entire front por-
tion Of the head was missing the only
portion Of 1t being the right ear and a
small portion OF the back extending up
as far as the lower part of the crown.
This portion Of the head was covered
with a thin growth of sandy colored
hair.
The left leg was missing from point
just above the knee, and the right leg
was cut off above the hip. Both arms
were missing. They had been cut Off
at the shoulders. The body had the ap-
pearance of being in the water at least
a week and probably more. The cuts
were so clean and smooth that It pre-
cluded the possibility OF the missing
members having been struck by thepad-
die wheels of a boat. Marks about the
body indicate that the man was MUIR
dered and horribly butchered.
The neck was undisturbed by the
knife which evidently severed the other
members, and around ii, as far as could
be seen as the body lay in the water,
was a regular mark about half an inch
wide. which indicated that the man was
first strangled with a rope. The mark
was green. but had evidently turned
this color by the action of the water
