Chance First Story.


tween three and four years Of age.
To get more full particulars of the
case representative of this paper in
the evening called up states attorney
w. H. Preston of Fair Haven and
from him learned particulars as to
where the child wastaken when it went
from Pawlet to Boston, whore it was
born and some others,
The entire story as far as could be
learned was sent to the Boston Herald
by its correspondent here. That paper
made investigations with the result
that the following story appeared in
It Friday afternoon
Back of the arrest of the Rev Daniel
Mcintyre, Wednesday by States AT
torney Preston on the complaint of
Humane Officer w. w. Tower for the
alleged abuse of 3-gear old child,
lies a pathetic story Of humane inter-
est.
The little one came into the world
without a birthright She was born
in a private lying-in hospital at $50
Brookline avenue, Longwood, near
Boston, April Z, 1900. Previous to
her birth a young, attractive woman
visited the hospital and made ar
rangements with DR. Laura Hunter,
who conducts the institution, for treat
ment. Upon the books of DIR Hunter
the mothers name was given as Mary
Louise Holland of Boston, and that
of the father as Wright Mcintyre, pro-
fession, teacher, born in Scotland.
Apart from the entry made on the
book DR. Hunter knew nothing Of the
father. She had never seen him at the
hospital, but she said that while she
was absent one day, soon after the
child was born, a man asked TO see the
little one, and having been escorted to
the crib where the child lay, bent over
the cradle and kissed her.
DR. Hunter states that she had under
stood that after the birth of the child

TURBINE-DRlVEN YACHT
WILL CROSS ATLANTIC.

SPECIAL BY ABB TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London. Feb. 7.-(Copyright, 1903 )-There
Is much interest in yachting circles over
the FIRST crossing Of the Atlantic by a tur-
bine-drtven yacht.
Captain Donald Todd arrive in Glasgow
to take charge of the voyage across the
Atlantic Of the Emerald, for Mr.. George
Gould. to whom Sir Christopher Furness
has sold the new boat.
Special interest is taken in the boat be-
cause Of the fact that she represents the
first attempt to adopt the principle or tur-
- much curiosity 10 see whether her actual
performance will justify the hlgh-possibiy
neutrality-suspicious. formed In some
quarters that she will prove the fastest
yacht of her tonnage ever built
The installation of the auxiltariesa and the
heavier fittings was finished last week, and
she was towed down to Clyde for the &C.
tual hitting out. She is not expected to
start for a couple of months.
The fitting out Of the Shamrock l as q
trial horse for the new challenger for the
I new boat has begun. 1t has been decided
thai, in order to get as close a compare
son between the Columbia and the new
yacht as possible, no structural alterations
of any kind shall be made in the Shamrock
j, ana that she sail be turned out In as near
as possible in the same trim as when she
sailed her races against the Columbia.
Charles Bevis. who will command the
Shamrock L through the whole series Of
trial races, has arrived in Glasgow to start
her preparation. Recent examination
showed that. while she naturally looked
dingy and weatherworn. the hull was every
where sound. Comparatively little work
beyond ordinary Quitting will be neces-
sary to brtng her once more into racing
fettie.
