Dolly Stories: Dotty DlmpIe.
One day when the snow was on the
ground one Of mammals groWn-np
friends came to see me, and sne.
brought a lovely white primrose grow
ing in a pot, and a new dolly! Oh, ]
was SO pleased with both gifts! !
thanked dear Miss Hattie Nesmith, for
that was her name. and u said Il
shall always love you, for you are SO
good to sick little girl" IN
Mamma put the pretty plant on a
table near my bed, and held out my
hands for dolly, and Miss Hattie plac-
ed her in my arms.
My new dolly was not very large,
for she was baby, and she had on q
long white dress, trimmed with lace,
and a little white woolen sack, tied
with pink ribbons, AID such cunning
little lace hood OH ner head! Her
cheeks were pink, and she had little
bit of a dimple in her chin, so I nam
ed her "Dotty Dimple," after little
girl in story book. ##
i went to sleep with Dotty in my
arms, and when I opened my eyes.
again / thought | was dreaming; but
FL found Dotty Dimple was a real dolly
not like those in dreamlard. Miss
Hattie had made tiny blanket OF
pink and white stripes knit together,
and when / woke Dotty was all COW
cred up In 1t. @
Mamma said: when you are able
to walk again, you shall have a doll
carriage for your baby, and the blan-
ket will be very pretty to put over
Dotty when you take her out for an
airing. 4.fS "a
My good kind doctor came to see
me the next morning, and asked him
to guess what my dear Miss Hattie
Nesmith had brought me. He tried
and tried to guess, and then he gave
up; then showed him my new dolly,
and he was SO surprised! What do
you suppose he did? He took Dotty
Dimple in his arms, and he asked her..
What is your name, little Stranger"
/ said: "Dotty Dimple," playing it
was my dolly who answered.
Then he made believe he wanted to
!. have secret with her; SO he held her
UP and whispered loud on purpose, SO
4 i could hear. Dotty, you are pretty
nice baby, and | think you will prom
ise, to help me get your mamma we'll
again. . Dotty said: '.Yes, doctor" !"
You know / spoke for Dotty.
We'll, he said, "if You will coax
your little mamma to try and leave
her bed and sit In the sunshine, will
bring you something pretty 1t will
be for your little mamma; but you
can make believe it is yours.
oh, know Dotty wished very much
to find out what my good doctor would
bring, but he only smiled and said:
Now, little mamma. 1t is your turn
to guess. 1t is not dolly. 1t is
white. and it Is alive.
One pleasant morning when mamma
had put me in chair for the first time
for I had not been able to move for
| many weeks, my good, kind doctor
drove up TO the door. He looked I'D to
the window, and was so surprised to
see me sitting there he waved his hand
and cried out, Brave little girl!''
Then he tied his horse and made
motions for me to shut my eyes, So
shut my eyes as tight as could, and
put my hands over my face. Then
heard the doctor come up stairs. and
when he opened the door he said, You
may look now, so opened my eyes,
ana he held out basket with its cover
tied down with blue ribbon.

set?"

designations as trustees of the Soldiers and

Sickles of New-York; General Horatio C. King,
of Brooklyn and J. Monroe Shoemaker, of Ell

clined to make public, his own reply to them,
although he said he willing that General
Sickles General King and Mr.. Shoemaker
should resign If they desired to take this action;
1t is clear that the resignation of the three men
named was due partly to the belief that the
resignation of Colonel Charles A. Shepard, COM
mandant at the Soldiers and Sailors Home is
to be accepted if rendered. In their opinion, it
is well known. Colonel Shepard has been I'M
justly assailed by politicians while endeavoring
to defend the interests of the State
Governor Roosevelt a week ago announced
that in filing vacancies in the Board of Trustees
of the Soldiers Home hereafter he should ap-
point only veterans OF the Civil War This rule
will force him to retire Frank Campbell, Of
Bath, the chairman of the Democratic State
Committee who is one of the trustees.
Governor Roosevelt also announced to-day
that he had requested the committee of the
State Board of Charities. which has been en-
gagged in investigating Colonel Shepard's ad-
nesses in defence of Colonel Shepard's admin
istration were yet to be heard. This was done
out Of justice to Colonel Shepard and, more
over. the Governor said he had requested the
Board of Trustees of the Soldiers Home not to
act upon Colonel Shepard's conditional resgna-
ton until the investigation of his administra-
ton completed.
The Governor has received intimation of
the action Of the trustees regarding Colonel
Shepard. He said tonight that he probably
would not send in any nominations for two or

other OF the many foggy days which this winter

with the footing of whistles and changing OF
bells which betoken real fog. Traffic was oe-
layed less than ordinarily however. The fer-
ries and trains prompt. and none OF the
Sound steamboats, were delayed. Down the BAY
things did not run so smoothly. The Fuerst
Bismarck and the Red D Line steamer Hildur
took advantage of rift in the murk early IN
the morning, and came up to their piers. only
a few of the steamers which came into port
later in the day were equally fortunate. ana
there were probably several steamers ancnoreo

to lift La Champagne, of the French Line
which was scheduled to sail at 10 o'clock yes

time on account of the fog, and up to late
hour last night she had not been reported as

BROOKLYN'.S WATER SUPPLY
BILL TO PERMIT USE OF SUFFOLK
COUNTY PONDS LOST

Albany, Feb. (SpeciaI).-While the Legis-
ature takes no steps to repeal the charter of the
Ramapo Water Company, and while also the
same Legislature has not yet passed Assembly
man Fallows's bill to deprive the city of New
York Of all authority to make such contracts as
IL was contemplated to make with the Ramapo
Water Company. there is still some action of in
terest on the water supply question.
To-day the Senate judiciary Committee re-
ported adversely Senator McCarren's bill repeal
ing a law passed in 1896 prohibiting practically
khe city of Brooklyn from taking any more of
Its supply Of water from Suffolk County. The
act which Senator McCarren sought to repeal
Chapter 942 of the Laws of 1S96-gives author
ity to the Board of Supervisors of Suffolk Coun-
ty TO declare that certain ponds and streams
Fare necessary for the supply of pure and whole
some water to the people residing in such
county" Whenever such certificate has been
recorded, issued by the Board of Supervisors,
the city Of Brooklyn cannot take water from
the stream named, except upon the written
consent Of majority of the Supervisors GER
tifying that such streams are no longer needed.
A large delegation of residents of Suffolk
County came to Albany when a hearing was
granted upon Senator McCarren's bill and OPP
posed earnestly the repeal of the bill. asserting
that the residents of the County of Suffolk
could not afford TO surrender of the water
supply of the county to the city of Brooklyn.
Senator McCarren Sought to-day to keep his bill
alive, and moved that the adverse report of the
judiciary Committee upon his bill should be re-
3ected and the bill sent to a second reading. The
motion was defeated by the following vote:
Ayes-Coffey. Cullen, D. F. Davis La Roche
aackey. Marshall McCarren, wagner-S.
Noes-Ahearn. Armstrong, Boyce, Bracket
Brown. Chahoon. Coggeshal Donnelly, Doug
llas. Ellsworth, Elsberg, Featherson, Feeter
Foley, Ford, Goodsell Grady, Graney, Ravens
Higgins Humphrey, Johnson, Krum, Malby
Martin, Munzinger. Norton, Plunkitt. Raines
Rarnsberger, Rice. Sherwood Stranahan, Thorn
ton, White, Wilcox-36
The adverse report was then adopted and thu
the bill is dead, and Brooklyn will have to lool
elsewhere for additional water supply thar
TO Suffolk County. The vote the bill show
that the Brooklyn Senators opposed b,
those from New-York. and by Senator Havens
of Suffolk County. and Senator Norton o
Queens County. Only upstate Senator
Mackey, of Buffalo. voted with the Brooklyn
Senators. 1t is possible that this vote indicates
IN some degree that private water companie.
like the Ramapo Water Company are laborint
TO keep the city of Brooklyn out of Suffolk
County, although ii is also clear that Senator
Ravens, Of Suffolk County, was able to appea
successfully TO his fellow Senators to aid him ii
