THE ALLEGED BOGUS BABY.A strik-
ingincidento of the trial yesterday in Berlin
of Countess Isabella Wesierska Kwilecki,
Who is charged with presenting a male
child, not her own, as the heir to an es-
tate at Wrobledwo, whereas the child is
alleged to be the son of peasant girl,
was the appearance before the courto OF the
supposititious son of the countess beside
the eldest boy of the peasant girl referred
to. Both boys were dressed alike.
While the persons present in the court
arose in a body and craned their necks
forward to see the children, the jurors
gathered about the two boys in groups.
The impression made was indecisive.
Some of the experts said they saw great
resemblance between the supposed little
count and the elder boy Of the peasant
girl, while others contended there was a
family resemblance between the younger
bow and the Countess Isabella. An Aus
trian captain, named Won Ziegler, testi-
fed that the second child was born in
December, 1896. The girl, he added,
reported to him that she had given this
child to a childless couple, to which ar
rangement the captain gave his consent.
He never saw the child himself. Various
witnesses from Wrobledwo gave testimo-
nv favorable to the countess. Some OF
them who saw her Immediately after the
reported birth ofthe little count said they
we're fully convinced that no fraud had
been perpetrated. Detective Taad, Of
the Paris police, testified that he had in
stituted inquiries among the Paris mid
wives, and had discovered one, Nine.
Ramol, who said that foreign lady,
speaking French with a German accent,
tried in July, 1896, to procure anewborn
boy from her. When showl photo
graph of the Countese Isabella, Nine.
Ramol said she recognized it as being
that of the foreign lady who had tried to

FLORIDA ORANGES.

People in this section of the country
will have cause to rejoice over the news
that real Florida oranges are in the
market again. The stock that is being
offered at present is trife green, and
hardly as fine as the reputation OF the
average Florida orange, but all the
commission men look for marked i'm
provement in the quality in few days.
All the buyers are grasping up the
southern fruit in preference to the Caii-
fornia or Italian stock. 1t has been
wears since there was a great crop OF
Florida oranges offered to the American
people, and as result they are simply
hungry for them. No one admits that
it is possible for an orange to grow out
side of Florida and compete with the
southerner in taste. The heavy frosts
of a few years ago killed all the trees
that we're not protected, and as a result
all the growers have been waiting for
their groves to come up again. Already
there is a promise of 1000, 900 boxes of
crop this year, or more than twice what
was gathered last year. The effect OF
this situation of the market will be to
divert that number of boxes that have
been supplied from the California mar
ket to Europe and other sections remote
from the East, all of which will benefit
the local trade. The fruit will arrive
in better condition from Florida that 1t
could from the west, and the commission
men will lose less through decay. In
addition to this, the fruit will not be
packed as tight as that from the west,
consequently better appearance will re-
suit on the table.

ALMOST SPANKED TO DEATH.-Har-
yey Miller, a farmland, of Cedar
Point, Mimi, was spanked almost TO
death recently by 8 machine of his own
continuance. Miller after perfecting
other contrivances arranged spanking
machine. The person to be spanked is
strapped fat down on board, while a
strong hardwood paddle operated by an
electric motor does the work. Two
dials control the mechanism. On the
dial are priDtel ages from 2 to l6, so that
the force of the blows can be regulated
according to the age. On the other are
the words, eight, fair, good, hard, seri-
ous,' to correspond with the otfense for
which punishment is to be inflicted.
Miller had finished the mechanism,
and after yainly attempting to secure a
friend to try it had himself strapped
down on board while a number OF
friends operated the works. The pad
ding was started at age 2, slight, and
gradually turned on until age l6, serious,
was reached. Miller was by this time
roaring for mercy and promising to be
good, while the oulookers we're rolling on
the floor, doubled up in laughter, not
knowing that Miller, the inventor, had
been terribly punished. Miller's strength
was rapidly falling when his friends
noted his condition, but not being
familiar with tho rooch,na ware unahle
to make it stop. Miller had lost con-
sciousness when someone released the
buckles Of the straps which held him
down and rescued him. Miller's first
act on regaining bis senses was to destroy
the mothers help"
