was seized with another fit of laughter
that threatened to develop Mysteries.
When the maid returned Keister be-
gan to talk feverishly about the weather
and showed disposition to monopolize
the conversation. Nicoll tried to talk
about old times, but he was constantly
interrupted. At last, when he seemed
determined to finish one interesting
bachelor reminscence. keister rose
from the table, and putting his arm
around the maids waist, deliberately
kissed her.
But Nicoll showed no surprise. He
quietly turned to Stokes and remarked:
wharfage will never reform that man
in the world"
The introduction Of Mrs. Keister in
her proper person did not help matters
much. Her bushes were not altogeth-
er Of confusion. She seemed angry
about something. keister, too, grew
moody, and only recovered his normal
spirits temporarily during the intro
duction of the children. Nicoll looked
at Mrs. Keister a great deal and sighed
frequently, and when at last Stokes
rose to go he said that he would be
obliged to make his adieux also. keis-
ter offered no strenuous objection, and
the guests took their leave
II guess we got the joke on him that

the train at the little station. "He
doesn't know that l told you, and he's
in for bad quarter of an hour right
now"

Fortunately, very long dresses and
fussily trimmed dresses are out of
fashion, and baby dresses are made
just as simply as possible. The little
dresses for outdoor wear on very warm
days should be low-necked and short
sleeved, if possible.
"It's impossible to givea baby
too much fresh air, and the baby
should be kept out of doors as much
as possible; that is, during the cooler
hours of the day. Daring the intense
midday and midafternoon heat-be-
tween the hours of L and 5-the baby
should be kept in doors. The heat is
too intense then for any baby to be on
the streets. But from o'clock in the
afternoon until 10 or IL at night, and
as early in the morning as possible:
the baby should be out of doors.

SAVED BY. CHANCE
Timely Discovery Prevents Infanti-
eide in Most Horrible
Manner.

New York, April 22-By the merest
chance a two-weeks old baby was res
cued from being buried alive by man
and woman, who were discovered by
Patrick McEvery, a laborer of Hast
ings, just in time to save it from
death from suffocation.. The child had
been thrown alive by the man and wo-
man into hole about three feet deep,
which the couple had scooped out with
their hands. A little cape worn by
the baby had in some way fallen over
it's face. This kept the earth away
and held it for minute or two. Nc,
Every threw off the earth covering
and brought to light the little victim,
just as it was about to breath it's last
gasp.
A man ana woman, who answer in
every way the description of the cou-
pie that had been furnished by the
baby's rescuer, were arrested an hour
after the attempt at murder. The man
said he was Giovori Duttacavalo, of
Manhattan. He said he was married
and had three children. The woman
said she was Francisco Stinella, 18
years old, dressmaker and unmar
ried. She is niece of Duttacavalo.
The woman denied that the babe was
hers. She said she never had child.

WORST HAS PASSED
Alarm Over Floods in Lower
Ohio Valley Almost
Ended.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 22.-Alarm
the lower Ohio valley. The low water
in the Ohio below this city has allowed
the floods from up the river to flow
rapidly towards the Mississippi. The
situation is still serious up the river,
notably at Ripley, Maysville, Aber-
deem, Portsmouth, Point Pleasant,
Hanging Rock, Ironton, Ashland, Cat
lettsburg, Huntington, Pomeroy, Mari.
eta, Parkersburg and smaller places
between Wheeling and Cincinnati.
The crest of the flood is below
Wheeling tonight, and the further
down stream it goes the lower is the
rate OF rising. The uniform rate Of
three inches per hour this morning
fell to two inches before noon, and as
low as one and one-half inches pei
hour at Point Pleasant at p. m.
The food is not as bad as in doz
en- former years, and much below the
records of 1897 and 1898, and those Of
1883 and 1884. The former floods
were earlier when the weather was
cold, causing much distress among
the homeless people. While this flood
is not so hard on the people that are
driven from their homes, it is much
harder on the crops and fruits that are
we'll advanced. The property loss il
the rural districts cannot be estimat
ed. 1t will be very large. The home

their houses as long as they were dur
ing the former floods, which in some
cases have lasted as many weeks il
the winter as this will continue days
in the spring. The highest stage viii
be reached at Parkersburg tomorrow
and here the next day, and at the
mouth of the Ohio before the week is

heretofore enjoyed by the western
millers Of warehousing flour in this

E' Railroads Running Into Boston,.
Boston, April 22.-Washouts in the
western part of the state last night
has delayed mails from the west to a
great extent. A complete suspension
of through business, both passenger
and freight, on the main line of the
Boston & Albany railroad came today
when the news of landslide at Zoar
reached here.
The express that left Boston yester-
uay was hemmed in at Chester by
washouts blocking the line. Officials
of the road were making arrange
ments for fanking the flooded district
by detour at Springfield, over the
Connecticut River railway, and thence
over the titchburg division of the
Boston & Maine to North Adams, when
a telegram was received announcing
that a great landslide at Zoar a short
distance from the eastern part of
Hoosac tunnel, had brought traffic on
that section of the Boston & Maine to
a dead standstill. This could only
mean cancellation of all through traf-
fic until the roadbed could be restored.
1t is thought the work will take until
Wednesday.

Manila, April PA representative
OF the Associated fress visited Emilio
Aguinaldo this afternoon at 56 Solalo
street, whittier he was removed from
the Malacanan palace, and found him
in large room upstairs, furnished
with table, typewriting machine,
three settees and 20 chairs. His wife,
who was entertaining number of
Filipino women friends, sat at one
end of the room, while Aguinaldo,
smoking cigar and chatting with Be

| Aguinaldo; whose bearing was
courteous and dignnned, was dressed
in white, looked we'll and altogether
made an excellent impression. Legar-
do, who has recently returned from the
United States, was telling Aguinaldo
all about the trip, and he seemed in
terested intensely, smilingly asking
many questions. He particularly
inquired as to what President McKin-
| ley said, and seemed anxious to know
what was thought of him in the Unit
ed States. He was rather reluctant to
talk for publication, and considered
every question before replying. He
said he was doing all he could to as
sist in the pacification of the Philip
pines, and expressed astonishment at
what the Americans had already ac-
complished. When he was captured
he went on to say, that he was greatly
surprised that majority of the Phil.
ippines entertained the opinion that
the American sovereignty was prefer
able to independence, but now he was
inclined to believe that way himself
He explained that since the dissolu
ton of the Filipino congress and the
declaration of guerilla warfare, the
chiefs had acted to all intents and
purposes independently. They recog
nized him as COMMUNICATIVE chief, send
ing him reports occasionally, and he
issued some orders, but for the past
few months communication had been
difficult and he had been almost dis
connected. Il now urge in the strong

that all insurgents should surrender
and swear allegiance TO the United
States"
He expressed the opinion that Tinio
Malaban, Lysban and other prominent
leaders will surrender as soon as they
come to realise the nature of the am
nesty offered to them. He said he
expected that when the work of paci
fication was complete and peace was
restored, the prisoners in Guam would
be released. After referring in CRATE.
full terms to the treatment the military
authorities had accorded him, he ex
pressed the opinion that the quiet and
prosperity which would follow pacifi.
cation would realise the highest an
ticipations of the people.
I When asked if he would visit
America, he said he would like to do
I'so, but had made no plans yet placing
himself at the disposal of the United
States government. In concluding the
interview, he said: Every word in
my address to my countrymen, the
Filipinos, came from my heart. hope
the Americans will believe me thor
oughly sincere in my efforts to hasten
peace and under their guidance to
work for the welfare of the island."
