Mrs. Thorpe. tt

Mrs. Thorpe. The parents Of the Sec
Ond baby are not known. 1t was
brought in by friends of the parents.
1t wasn't a case of ''waif on the door
STEP but it amounted to the same
thing. The second baby is nine months
old and healthy. About this time an
other charge was put in Mrs. ThOrpe'S
hands, and she was forced to appeal
for help in caring for her unfortunate
waif family. This last addition was
boy Of nine years. His mother has been
dead for some time, and the father.
without paternal pride, abandoned the
boy, not however, without seeing that
he was left safely where Mrs. Thorpe
could care for him
Thus it was that three homeless boys
were thrust upon the patient and eff
cient police matron, and in addition to
caring for them, she had to provide food
and clothing for them
Then it was that Aunt Jane came to
her assistance and proved a valuable
help. She has, according to her state
ment, RAISED noah white chilluns
than has nah own"
Arrangements are being made to have
the Children's Home society of Kansas
take care of Johnnie" the nine year
old boy. The nine months old baby,
Bobby" will be adopted either by the
society or by the Orphans home. But
these institutions do not take children
under three months of a e, so the little
three weeks old baby which Aunt Jane
calls Honey is not yet eligible for
admission.
Aunt Jane took complete charge of the
oaby during her last days in iail. and
let her take the babe to her house and
keep It. Mrs. Thorpe was glad of the on

CAMARA AT FERROL.
His Fleet Arrives in Dilapidated
Condition.

New York, Aug. pa dispatch to
the Tribune from Ferrol says:
Admiral Camara'S squadron, consist
ing of the Pelayo, the Carlos ", the
V1toria, the Rapido, the Patricia
(transports), the Alfonso XII, and the
destrOyers Audaz and PrOserpina,W which
left Cadiz on Saturday, calling at Vigo
and Corunna, arrived here at noon to-
day. Admiral Camara is superintend-
ing all arrangements for mbarking
the Santiago troops at Vigo, Corunna
and Santander. The destroyer Osado
was in such bad condition that she
could not keep up with the rest of the
fleet and when off ST. Vincent returned
to CadiZ. AS soon as her repairs are
completed there the OSadO will sail
with the MeteOro for Santander.
Admiral Camara has consulted with
the military authorities and in case the
Carlists take advantage of the landing
of the troops, from Cuba to begin rising,
Admiral Camara's bluejackets will be
disembarked at Santander and Will OPP
crate on land in conjunction with the
Spanish regulars. The machinery OF
the Carlos V, which is out of order,
will probably be repaired in the arsenal
here where skilled French machinistS
are employed who were brought here
from the FORCES ct Chantiers campagn1e,
at Havre, before the war and who are
familiar with the machinery of the
Carlos V. The torpedo boats Barcelo,
Habana, Ejercito and Retamosa, are IN
the harbor and in good condition, but
the Don Alvaro de Bosan, Dona Mara
de Moline and Marques de la V1tr1a are
all three still under construction.

NEARLY ALL IN JAIL.
The Police Have Corralled Almost
the Entire Jordan Family.

Nearly the whole Jordan family is
in the city Jail today. Old Ben Jordan
the jointist, is serving a long sentence.
George Buckner, his son-in-law, is
breaking stone for disturbing the peace
Ella Buckner, old Ben's daughter, was
arrested this morning early charged
with being drunk and raising a racket
and at o'clock this morning Patrol
man Jester arrested Jimmie Jordan, a
son of old Ben, charged with disturbing
the peace.
Jimmie has an air-gun. He took aim
and shot at Mrs Matte Mcmillan, of
North Topeka. The latter received a
small shot in the hip which hurt her
feelings. Jimmie was taken weeping
to jail. It was but a few weeks ago
that old Ben's wife was in the city Jail
charged with selling liquor.

SCHOOLS IN WEST INDIES.
The Subject is Under Consideration at
Washington.

New York. Aug. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
New questions are constantly ar
ing in respect to the government of
Cuba and Porto Rico, some of which
= are not only Of great Importance, but
such as demand prompt attention.
Among those are matters relating to
public education, which, under the
Spanish regime were dealt with in a
manner entirely different from that
which prevails in the United States.
This subject is one to which the presi-
dent is already devoting some attention
and in regard to which his action is
awaited with interest.
In the Spanish West Indies the col
ored people, who form a large portion
of the total population, have never en-
JOyed the privileges of common or free
schools and the same thing is true in
a large degree of the whole white pop-
ulatton. In fact the educational field
in either island is, comparatively speak
1ng, a virgin one. How, and by whom
at shall be cultivated is a question of
practical moment. It is not improbable
that the agencies of private and assO-
ctated benevO1ence which was so pow
of the south in the latter years of the
civil war and long after will be found
active in Cuba and Porto Rico. There,
as was the case in the southern states,
however, the cooperation Of the gov
eminent will be necessary
In the case of the freedmen's school
IN the south the government not only
furnished protection and supervision,
but money to assist in the payment of
school buildings and the wages of
teachers. 1t has been pretty generally
conceded that money was wisely ex-
pended Whether expenditures for
like objects in Cuba and Porto Rico,
especially the the latter, will be regard
ed advisable, remains to be seen, but
1T is certain that the United States can
not AFFORD to neglect or ignore the
common school as an element or factor
IN the reconstruction of society and
government in those islands.

Oh cago Republicans Organize Club
for the Colonel

Chicago, Aug. 27-Chicago has launch
ed a presidential boom for Theodore
Roosevelt. A number of men prominent
in Republican politics of the city met
at the Union League club yesterday
and organized 1.-The Roosevelt 1904
Club" The sponsors of the movement
are men of aightforward, rough rider
style, and they are confident that Col.
Roosevelt can, in 1904, lead the Republi-
can party in as victorious a charge as
he did his famous regiment at Ell Caney.
After a full discussion it was the
sense of those present that such q club
should be formed for the purpose of
making effective in Republican politics

DRANK GASOLINE.
Serious Accident to Major Anderson's
Little Daughter.

A mouthfuI of gasoline came near
causing the death of Ellen, the 2-year-
old daughter of Major T. J. Anderson,
yesterday afternoon. The child swal-
lowed the liquid from a tin cup which
Mrs. Anderson had filled and carried to
an upstairs rooms. Her mother was
busy in another portion of the room
when the child drank the gasoline, but
she still had the cup in her hand when
she commenced to strange, and re-
alizing what had happened Mrs. Ander-
son at once sent for medical aid.
The child was seized with commissions
a few minutes after swallowing the
LIQUID, and for an hour her life was
despaired of. She finally rallied and
gradually grew better and today it is
stated that she will entirely recover.

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-04-23
WHO MADE THE FIRST JoKEs7
Speculation Regarding the MJstery
of h Original Seven.

A correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
dealer wrote to that newspaper request
ing information concerning the seven or
iginal Jokes upon which all modern
humor is said to be founded The editor
admits that the question is a difficult
one to answer, and then remarks:
If it were a question of fundamental
subjects of humor, instead of the actuEI
jokes themselves, the task of roofing
them out might not be so difficult. Per-
haps we may learn later on that Epic
tetus had prepared a list of thirteen Hell
lenic subjects for mirth. in which the
original seven were included. Then We
may be told that Dysippus, h Thracians
took Epictetus sharply to task because
he omitted the goat, the animal being 3
valued Thracian product. Perhaps Sim
onis, the philosopher, can be credited with
putting official approval on the mother
in-law. the mouse and the mule. Perhaps
the Spring poet, the milliner's bin, the
tongue of woman, the waking Of the baby
father for his daughters hand, came in
a few cycles later. That's more than
seven, of course, but they were net at all
fundamental. And when you etop u 80
slider this point it might be well to ask
where the bicycle joke comes from2 oh.
yes, here it is. You remember that ex-
Quisite bit off humor of the CONSEQUENTIAL
fly on Jove'S chariot wheel-and there
you have the original cycle joke.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-04-23

6ffaws Tor children have more fleld flowers
thar anything else, though some have plaid
ribbon bows and perhaps q stiff quill or
SO. Flat puritan straws, mostly in dark
colors, are sean and as a general rule are
trimmed with ribbon bows and in some
cases with straw braids applied like RIB
bons. All the c0lors of the rainbow and
more are brought out in the straw hats,
some Of which are of a light pink, a color
never before attempted in straw. These
are, after all, very pretty when trimmed
with the beautiful flowers of this season.
The season opened with rich and almost
Qaudy oolorings and very laSge blossoms,
but now nearly everything is fine n del
ioate. There are sweet white gtllie How
ers, fax blossoms, forgetmenots, white
and yariogated carnations, masses OF white
candytuft and sweet alyssum, white hlcc,
white heather, arbutus n hepatica.
There are many more flowers among the
list endeared to us by associations, among
them daisies, large and small, single and
double, white and yellow, but these are
rather preferred for ohildren's wear.
Parasols there are for the little girls.
These are made Of taffeta In light colors
and with pinked out edges. Some have
ruf11es under them of the same silk or q
contrasting color. I noticed several in
pretty checks. Cheaper ones, made OF
gingham, are like the silks in design.
For the grown ups there are beautiful
parasols, each displaoing that last seen.
One was of white silk, with q handle OF
ivory inlaid with turquoise and silver. On
the outside of the parasol there were three
rufaes Of sheer silk null. The first n
went around the center spike. The next
was vandyked so that it formed a star.
The last one had the upper edge shirred
and was made very full and set along the
edge. Another was made of delicate spruce
drab satin duchesse, the top plain. Around
the edge was a lounce shirred in four
rows. The bottom was fringed out two
inches deep. This was extremely elegant.
For young ladies there are some new
ideas in made up ~organdies. One is white
ground, with small sprays Of lilac on it.
The underskirt Is of cream white tafeta
glace. There was a ruflie of the organdie
five inches deep around the bottom, cut on
the bias SO as to bring the row of lilacs
around in one line. At the edge OF the
fiounoe there was one line of crimson Tom
Thumb ribbon. Around the skirt in tn-
blier form were two rows of inch wide
gathering cut bias on the plain part of the
organdie. These were bordered on both
edges with a line of the ribbon. The waist
was blouse shape, but crossed in surplice
style under d row of quadruple gaufer-
ing. The sleeves were shirred all the way
down where they ended at the wrists with
