A FEARFUL BABY

grievous and fearful condition, because
she had been restricted in her allowance

why the absence of one particular food

discovered that she had taken such a de-
cided fancy to 1t that She was refusing
meat and almost every other kind of
food.
Since she has been using Grape Nuts
a serious condition of constipation OF the
bowels has been changed TO a thoroughly
normal condition. and her flesh is as
solid as a rock. moo

BOY MEETS DEATH IN
THE EASTERN BRANCH
COMMERCE OF THE PACIFIC.
Subject Discussed by Hon. 0. P. Austin
Before Geographic Society.

An interesting lecture on The Com
merce of the Pacific was given by the
Hon. o. p. Austin, chief of the Bureau OF
Statistics of the Treasury Department, at
the Columbia Theatre yesterday after
noon, under the auspices of the National
Geographic Society.
Mr. Austin said that the United States
has it in her power to ultimately controi
the trade of the Pacific Ocean. Her COM
merce with the Orient has increased more
rapidly than that of any other nation
having frontage on the Pacific. Although
at the present time this country receives
but about 10 per cent of her exports from
the Orient. the speaker pointed out the
fact that the percentage but short time
ago had been far less, and that 1t was
certain to expand much further.
He said that our trade was bound to in
crease on account of the situation of this
country with regard to the ocean. The
coast line OF the United States far ex-
ceeds that of any other country bordering
upon the Pacific. Its railroad facilities
for transporting its goods from the IN
terror to the coast also surpass those OF
other nations.
Another great advantage lies in the
fact that Uncle Sam owns the chief way
stations in the Pacific. and controls the
best routes for the laying of submarine
cables. Manila. he further pointed out, Is
the best distributing centre In the Pacihc
Ocean. From there our goods are easily
accessible to the Oriental markets.
The lecture was well attended. A series
of stereopticon views we're made use OF to
demonstrate the routes of commerce, ad-
vantageous cable routes. and the coast
lines of the various countries.

house, Snake Hill, n. j., realizing some
months ago that his death was near.

digging his own grave. He died on the
day the work was finished.
Now ii has developed that during the
past few days lawyers and private detec-
tives were busy in Jersey City searching
for Saxon to notify him that he had fallen
heir TO q fortune estimated at S1O0.OOO.
The fortune was amasscd by his brother
in England. where Thomas Saxon was
born in 1887.
Dissipation brought Saxon to the Hud-
son county almshOuse two years ago. and
after short stay there friends interested
themselves in his behalf and established
him in business in the Lafayette section
Of Jersey City, where a small blacksmith s
shop was opened for him. He did not
prosper, however. and year later was
again an applicant for admission to the
almshouse. He was taken in. His
health began to fail him, and he wasted
away until a few months ago. when he
realized that the end was near.
One day Saxon told the warden that he
would die soon, and asked permission to
select his own resting place in the little
cemetery near by. The warden. in order
to humor him, allowed him to go out
there to dig grave. The grave had been
barely completed when Saxon died. His
body was lowered into 1t, and he was for
gotten until a few days ago, when the
lawyers and special detectives called to

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Magnates Considering Proposed Sched-
ule-Factional Feeling Still High.

NEW YORK, April 2.-National League
magnates spent this morning examining
the three schedules which were presented
at the meeting of the National League
last night at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Although the bone OF contention, the
election of a league president, which
caused the bitter fight last December, was
not alluded TO at the meeting last night,
it was plainly shown this morning that
the factions still maintain the same ami
mus.
To play ball the coming season is the
magnates' desire at this time, and this is
the only point on which all agree. The
fight for the presidency will be continued
after the season closes.
The three schedules now under consid-
Grafton were presented by Nick Young,
Robson. and Ebbetts. Whether conflict
ing dates with the American League Will
be adopted or not may cause long
wrangle at the session this afternoon.
The Spalding faction, it is understood,
has decided to appeal from Justice
Truaxs decision on the demurrer filed in
the injunction suit.
The FreedmaniteS were much surprised
when they learned of this. as they conf
IDENTIFY expected that the Spalding forces
were preparing TO forsake their leader.

Disturbances.

NEW YORK, April al. P. Morgan
sailed for England on the Oceanic today,
and will remain abroad for several weeks.
The exact length of his stay has not been
determined. 1t was Mr.. Morgan's wish
that the directors should pass on the
plans for retiring part of the preferred
stock issue of the United States Steel
Corporation before he sailed, and this has
been done accordingly.
Mr.. Morgan visits Europe at this time
every year and spends some time at his
London house. 1t is not known whether
ne will remain in London for the corona
tion.
His departure today recalls his visit
to Europe a year ago, and the exciting
days OF the May panic incident to the
raid on Northern Pacific. There was not
the slightest sign of impending trouble
when he went abroad last year, but 1t
developed speedily. Wall Street is ex-
periencing the effect yet, but does hot
expect any such exciting times this yea

adds that to agree that a few shall have
the right to force the abandonment of the
oft-expressed choice OF the people is

itely and finally rejected"
