swell Girl Nurses Black Baby

An elderly negress was thrown from
a Broadway cable car at Thirtieth
street, in New York, through the fail
ure OF the conductor to wait for her TO
get of. She had an 1S-months-old
baby in her arms. She Rugged the
baby TO her breast when she fell.
A carriage had been rafting along
colored woman rolled into the gutter
a young woman, dressed in light be-
ruffled gown, jumped from the carriage
and caught up the baby. The car
stopped and the passengers climbed
out. The women all ran for the baby.
The baby decided that ii didn't want to
cry and began to laugh with big-eyed
good nature.
The young woman who was carrying
il began to cry. She told her coach
man TO go for a doctor. She walked
I'D and down the street, and the chat
tering crowd Of women followed her.
The coachman returned with DR.. w. G.
Gilday OF 100 West Thirty-siXth street.
An ambulance was called from the New
York Hospital, and Dr. Parker the
surgeon, and DR.. Gilday dressed gap
ing wound on the colored woman 5

Meantime the black baby sat on the
young woman's arm and made demon
STATIONS at her hair with its tiny black
hands. The young woman would
laugh with the baby, and then, glanc.
ing at the crowd around the ambulance,
she would cry.
The ambulance rolled away and
somebody went up to policeman who
had been collecting material for his re-
port OF the accident, and said:
where's the baby?"
The young woman who had shown
such lively interest in 1t was not to
| be seen. Her carriage was not in
sight The policeman was frantic
| Scouts chased up and down the street.
One OF them found the volunteer nurse
with the baby in a confectionery store
| trying to make 1t swallow spoonful
OF ice-cream soda. Both she and the
baby seemed TO be enjoying them
selves When asked, somewhat alb
ruptly. why she had carried the baby
off. she answered simply:
why. il was going to begin TO cry.
Then. for the first time, she seemed to
realize that she was in crowd OF
amused and curious strangers. She
put the baby into the policeman arms
and hurried TO her carriage. which was
waiting around the corner.

The Increase of Nations

While European Russia will need
only forty-fve years or so, Germany
about sixty-fve years, AustriaHun-
gary seventy years, England eighty
years, and Italy 10 years, it will take
France over $50 years to double it's
population! What signifies the loss
OF Alsace-Lorraine' 100000 souls
compared with the loss France suffers
every day? In the last five years the
German population has increased by
1900 600, who are every one fully Ger
man; France meanwhile has increased
her people by only 10000, who are not
even Of French nationality. The in
crease of a nation is Of the utmost i'm
portance to tho success of its country.
1t has meant much in the nineteenth
century: it will mean more in the

Gen. Garcia IA Dead.

Cen Calixto Garcia, the distin-
guished Cuban warrior and leader, and
the head of the commission elected by
the Cuban assembly to visit this coun-
try TO confer with President Mckinley
and members OF congress, died at the
Hotel Raleigh, at Washington, where
the commission has its headquarters.
The sudden change from the warm
climate Of Cuba, with the hardships he
had there endured, TO the wintry
weather Of New York and Washington
Is responsible for the pneumonia which
resulted in his demise In his dying
moments, as all through his busy and
active life, his thoughts were for his
beloved country and its people.
Gen. Garcia was so years Of age He
leaves an aged mother in Havana, q
wife, two daughters and two sons.
One son was with him when he died.

Five KILLED by a Flood In the Streets.

A new steel gas tank of immense
proportions, surrounded by wall Of
masonry several feet thick, had just
been completed by the Consolidated
Gas Co., at Avenue and Twentieth
street, New York City, and was being
tested by being filled with water when
the structure gave way with tremen-
dous crash A wall of water over 10
feet deep swept through the streets of
the neighborhood carrying death and
destruction. People were caught in
the streets and some were swept from
the lower floors of houses. Five per-
sons were killed outright and fully 80
badly injured. The loss to business
houses, factories and homes will be
heavy. The tank which went down
was lis feet in diameter, 100 feet deep.
extending so feet above the earth, and
was filled with 100000 gallons Of
water. 1t is complete loss-s3oo, 900.

A SWEEPING WASHOUT.
Kew An Entire Railroad disappeared In
Night In Kansas.


"Of the washouts that occurred in
nay ten years OF railroad building in
the west the most complete and sweep
ing was that OF the Mcpherson a. Lyons
railroad in Kansas in 1880" said a civil
engineer TO a reporter. 1T was while
We were building this twenty-fivemile
branch OF the Atchison that l was di-
vision engineer in charge Of the west
sTn end. We had begun work in
March at the Mcpherson end, and it
was necessary that the road should be
completed. with the trains running in
10 Lyons, by the LIST of June or $50 600
n bonds would be forfeited Although
che grading was very heavy, with deep
cuts and long high fills, the goth of
May saw the roadbod finished from one
end TO the other ard the track carried
nearly to Lyons.
up TO that time during all the con-
struction not drop OF rain had fallen,
but on the night Of the goth thunder
storm came. 1t was not a long one;
II began at midnight and was over be-
fore daybreak, but while it lasted it
was as if the bottom OF the sky had
fallen out and let the water drop all at
snce But ! had no idea OF how much
water really had fallen until on going
out OF doors in the morning ! saw what
had been a dry creek bed ever since
my coming TO Lyons was a river full
from bank to bank. and running like a
nlllrace That set me off in a hurry
to look at the track-but there was no
track TO be found. There were rails
and ties where the track had been, but
the roadbed that had been beneath was
gone The prairie, after the long
drouth, had become as hard as a pave
ment, so that il took up none Of the
rain that had fallen, and the rush OF
water from great watershed covering
townships had come against the road
bed The opening at pile bridges, leo
feet long. intended as waterways. had
been as nothing to carry the water off
and the roadbed had gone-simply
melted away.
We'll, all this was a heartrending
sight to engineers who, the day before,
had looked on their work on this road
as finished. But the trains had to be
running into Lyons in ten days or the
$50, 900 in bonds would be sacrificed,
and we set TO work 10 repair the dam
ages. The Atchison road was behind
the enterprise, so that we had the
sinews OF war; the bridges were stand
ing. the cuts in the roadbed made, and
the contractors gangs still at hand. |
won't say that ii was a very finely con-
structed road at that stage, but | rode
out OF Lyons on June on the first
train for we had got there after all.

PAPER BAGS FOR TRAVELLERS
A Way to Protect Your Hat From Dust
and Cinders While on "A Train.

Way to Protect Your Hat From Dust
and Cinders While ON "A Train.
Comfort in travelling is an Import
ant consideration, and the newest idea
for journey is one worth regarding.
Dodging railroad Cinders and dust is
something not to be thought Of. When
a thoroughly clean railroad trip is pos
sible the millennium will have arrived,
and this period is still, according TO all
beliefs, long distance off. But, ow-
ing TO a simple thought OF a practical
man, the traveller can now protect his
or her hat, which was out of the ques-
ton before.
A humble paper bag, obtained from
the nearest grocer, is the god OF the
machine. This IL folded compactly
and slowed away in the pocket Tin the
hand bag or purse if the traveller is
woman and is pocketless). Before the
cars start the bag is opened, the hat
placed therein, the bag pinned across
Its mouth and the whole laid in the
rack. Thereafter, until the destina-
ton is all but reached, the traveller
need have no thought Of his headgear,
for no dust or cirders can reach it.
1t will be found in the best of condi-
ton upon opening. So simple is this
device that it is wonder ii was never
thought Of before.
