of the old buildings, SO, s5 and 81 Cher
ry street, to make way for q modern
structure, removes a landmark vaguely
associated in the annals of the neigh
brohood with the days Of the American
revolution. When Washington made
his headquarters at Roosevelt and
Cherry streets, the local historians
declare, he stored in these old build
lngs munitions Of war supplies for his
army. The historians of Cherry Hill
then skip the intervening years until a
period beginning fifteen or twenty
years ago is reached. The buildings
were then occupied as resorts for sail

THE JAILER'S BABY.

1t was all the fault OF the baby. So
ehe Jailer said, and so everybody be-
sieved. At the same time 1t was de-
clared absurd that a baby should be
allowed companionship with a muir
derer. and beyond all decency that
bottles OF laudanum should be left
within It's reach. Indeed, there was
great deal Of talk, and much disap-
pointment over the affair. Not since
the lynching Of the negro lilly. two
years before, had there been hang

der then that everybody-especially
those holding tickets Of admission
was outraged. In fact, so much was
eaid that the jailer resigned and he
and his wife-with the baby, who had
done all the mischief-moved to an
other town. The jailer's wife declar-
ed that his nerves seemed dreadfully
upset about the whole thing and she
was glad he had given up the "jail
business" Farming was nicer work
anyhow, she allowed, and the baby
seemed to thrive better. As for the
baby himself, he told me In strict con-
hdence just how 1t happened.
The prisoner had never made the
slightest effort to escape. From the
time sentence was pronounced he
seemed to begin to die. He would sit
for hours without moving a muscle
would neither eat nor drink. A horrid
sort Of stupor possessed him, from
which the kind-hearted jailer was pow
erless to rouse him, until one day he
thought Of his baby, Ted. the only bit
OF sunlight in the gloomy house OF
bondage. The lovely child blossomed
like Sharon rose in this desert OF
sin and death, and the very sight OF

was brought to the death-watched cell.

"A City Beehive.

It seems little odd to think OF
domiciling bees in a great city, yet
the New York Times has discovered
man who successfully attempted this.
His name is Joutel, and he is an ardent
naturalist. 1t was Mr.. JoutePs love for
insects which led him to experiment in
keeping an apiary on the roof OF his
home at East One Hundred and Seven
teenth street. He procured hive,
stocked 1t, and awaited results. In a
short time they had combs In process
of construction, and were filling them
with honey. AS to where they got this
material. Mr.. Jouters explanation is
OF considerable interest. Soon after he
started his hive, he said, he was in
Mount Morris park. some distance from
his house. Here he found some Of his
bees hard at work on the few flowers
in sight. He made trip to Morning
side park, on the west side Of the city.
and observed a few OF the honey max
ers there. He was sure they were from
his hive, as they were OF a peculiar
variety and easily recognized. Mr..
Joutel believes that they also made
trips to Central park, as well as pat
ronizing all the hre-escape conserva-
tories in the neighborhood. At any
rate they collected a large amount OF
honey, and some Of the combs have
been exhibited in the American Mus
cum Of Natural History.

the wild look Of entreaty in the eyes OF
the doomed man.
Next day the baby came again. This
time he passed the guard, returning his
challenge, "Hullo, two-year-old!" by
only dignified stare. He toddled up
to the prisoners cell, and the first
glimpse of the yellow head brought the
wretched occupant forward. His at.

The state Of Nebraska has ordered
$500 voting machines at $500 each, 8
total OF $1,600.000 says the st. Louis
Globe-Demoerat. This machine Is pure
ly mechanical in construction, The
regulations are complete in every de-
tail. Split tickets can be voted Gs
readily as straight tickets. The booth
stands six and one-half feet in height
and Is about four feet square, giving
ample room for voting. Though MADE
of steel. it can be carried about with
out difficulty, although rather heavy.
The voter, upon entering the booth,
faces "a square steel box about three
feet in dimensions and three inches
thick. On the face Of this square Is
a long, narrow row OF glazed open
ings. in which appear the different
tickets to be voted. Each party ticket
is printed on a slip Of its own. The
candidates for each Office are in align
ment and the whole arrangement IL
similar to the regular Australian bal
lot. But at the point where the voter
usually puts a cross is nickel-plated

When the straight ticket is voted, b!
