BRANDY CAUSED HIS DEATH.
Russell Porter, 4 Years Old,
Drank II and Died in
Commissions.

K. Q. Times, sith.
Russell Porter, the 4,year.old son
Of Fred ] Porter, who lives at 1916
Euclid avenue, died at st Joseph's
hospital at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The child drank a por-
ton OF the contents OF a bottle OF
brandy while travelling with its moth
or on a sleeping car coming from Chi
cago to Kansas City Thursday night.
The boy secured the bottle some
time during the night, while his moth
erslept. In the morning, as the train
neared Kansas City, she could not
arouse him. The mother became
alarmed as she saw the empty bottle
and detected the odor Of the liquor
upon the child's breath and upon the
pillow OF the berth, where some OF II
had been spilled. Still unconscious,
the child was carried from the train
when it reached Kansas City at s
o'clock. Mr.. Porter met his wife at
the depot They took their son to
DR.. W. E, Chappell's Office, at 1O42
Union avenue.
DR.. II. o. Leonard was called and
for hours the two physicians worked
In vain to rouse the little one from
the stupor. At 1;30 O'Clock the boy
was taken to the hospital, where HI
died an hour later in commissions.
Mrs. Porter was coming home will
her twin sons from Waukegan, III.
whero she had been visiting TIL
work OF a sneak thief in Chicago wa
perhaps the indirect cause Of the &C
cident which resulted In the boy
death. While Mrs. Porter was al
ranging for a berth on a Chicago
Alton train, her valise, containing
her clothing, was stolen.
She had bought a half pint bottl
Of brandy, intending to place it i
her valise. After the travelling ba
was stolen she was forced to carr
the bottle in her hands. The mothe
prepared her children for bed an
herself retired, placing the bottle vi
der her pillow. Some time durin
the night Russell awoke and secure
the bottle. He turned 1t up to hi
lipe and drank. Some of the liqui
was spilled on the pillows and bee
ding. How much Of it the boy sws
lowed the mother does not know.
| Fred ]. Porter, the father of th
boy, is the Kansas City agent for th
Empire Fast Freight line. He cam
here about one year ago, and is we
known in railroad circles.

WARDROBES OF ROYALTY.
tusmos Though to Change Sew
eRal Times Each Day.

The empress of Germany and the
czarina OF Russia are the most FORUM
ate women in Europe, if good fortune
means the ability to wear fine ailments
and to change their costumes as often
as it may please their fancy. 1t is said
that to keep the wardrobe of the Ger
man empress properly replenished re-
Iuires the constant service of a dozen
1ressmakers, and that on occasions of
,ourt festivities or when her ma jestN
prepares for an important journey
this regular staff is increased to 40
We are informed that this wondclfu,
wardrobe consists of 100 evening and
state dresses, at least two visiting ann
carriage costumes and more than $50
house and demitoilets annually. All
these are made by hand down to the
minutest particulars.
The empress of Russia is said to be
the most extravagant dresser in Eu-
F., rope, although naturally simple in her
tastes. Her adherence To plain Gres>
provoked SO much grumbling among
the ladies Of the court during the firSi
few years of her marriage that she went
to an extreme of magniticence which
one finds it difficult to associate wit
the daughter of the mild Princess
Alice of Hesse.

EXCHANGE OF CHILDREN.
Where City Parents Trade Their ON.
spring with People from
the Country.

A curious arrangement, called
"The Exchange of Children" was
adopted by some charitable people of
Berlin last summer, and will be re-
vived this spring, says the New York
Tribune. The promoters arrange for
the temporary interchange Of city
and country children. Children Of
working people there begin to con-
tribute to the support of the family
sooner than in this country. The lit
tie ones all have their tasks. This is
true in the country, as well as in
the cities, but the labor performed
by children in the towns is very diff
ferent from that on the farm.
Hence some charitable women of
Berlin organized a fresh-air scheme,
by which the children of the poor
may exchange places for few
months in the summer. Those from
the farms come into the city, which
is valuable educational experience
for them, and those IL the city have
an opportunity to enjoy little
country life, without depriving the
parents of either of their assistance.
Families who are willing to make
such exchanges are invited to report
at the headquarters, whore an ex-
change is arranged.
