Baby's Diagnosis.
New York Press.

New OIk TreSS.
Seated on a bench in Central park
a nurse girl was gently moving to
and fro perambulator in which was
baby of about fifteen months. At
the other end of the bench was a man
whose prominent lower jaw was
adorned with luxuriant beard, which
parted in the middle and curved
gracefully outward ond upward.
For several minutes the baby re-
garded the man and especially the
whiskers with grave attention, while
he looked at her with an air of lofty
condescension. At length beautiful
smile overspread the little ones fea-
lures. Then. with her blue eyes still
fixed upon the whiskers, and kicking
up her tiny feet in an ecstacy of de-
light, she gurgled:
"Bow-wow! Bow-woww
A wave of color sufused the mans
face above the whiskers, and he hitch
ed uneasily in his seat. It was an
awkward situation, and to relieve it
the nurse girl patted the baby and
said:
mo, dearie, that isn't doggie."
The man remained to hear no
more.

several operations were necessary.
Surgeons believed the only means OF
saving her lie was by removing the
hand. The poison was thrown out Of
the system finally and the hand was
left shrunken. Miss O'Hara had
practically no control over it.
She was advised by her physician
to go to St. Vincent's hospital, where
the baking process is being success
fully used for rheumatism. The hand
is laid in steam jacket and the tenn,
perature is gradually raised. Every
day the member is massaged for an
hour and every week the patient is
put under the influence of an anaes~
thetic, the fingers are drawn out and
the bones and muscles subjected to a
kneading process.

COMFORT IN AN AUTOMOBILE
Electric Broughan That Abounds in
Original Devices.

There is no man in New York city
prouder of his automobile and proba.
bly, none with better reason than
Robert Graves, says the New York
Evening World. The machine, an
electric auto of the brougham type,
constructed after his own ideas and
built under his own supervision, took
seven months to build, and its cost
IS estimated at nearly S15,ooo
The machine is constructed of alu-
mlniun1 plates finished to resemble
mahogany, and although it carries a
storage battery of sixty-eight cells,
enough to run the machine at a rate
of twenty miles an hour for sixty
miles, it weighs only 500 pounds.
The cells of the battery are so ar
ranged that the front wheels carry the
weight of twenty-eight of them, the
rear wheels the remainder. The auto
mobile has carrying capacity of six
persons and is provided with four
folding seats, with an aisle between
them for easy access. The car can be
completely closed in by windows with
aluminium frames and is heated BY
electricity. The vehicle is provided
with an ordinary hand brake and an
electrical brake, which enables the
driver to stop the car without a Jerk
within a few feet.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the vehicle are the numerous
little attachments which greatly in
crease the ease and comfort of the
travellers. There are lamps for read
ing, chronometer. an electric cigar
lighter, a stationary rack provided
with reading matter, letter paper ana
envelopes, cardcase and small
case for postage stamps. The reed
of the signal horn is protected from
dust by a fine screen, and every part
OF the delicate machinery is carefully
guarded from dust and dirt by rubber
curtains and screens of wire.

Gallows Haunts Them.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
That scafold in the yard of the
parish prison seems to be causing
other people besides Capt. Rennyson
considerable annoyance. Recently
well-known attorney went to the
parish prison and told Capt Renny-
son that he would like him to take
down the scafold or remove it
where he could not see it from his
office window. The attorney has
an office in the Hennen building, and
it must be up very high for him to
see the scafold. The instrument of
death is in the rear yard next to
the patrol house of the fist precinct
station. Yet the attorney said that
he is very much annoyed with it. 1t
is the first thing he sees when he
looks out of the window to get a
breath of pure, fresh air, and when
clients come in to see him they can't
talk for looking at the gallows His
Office boy never takes his eyes off
of it and cannot even hear the at
torney talk to him, his mind is so
concentrated on the scafold.
When the attorney goes out of his
Office and leaves it in charge of the
boy for just an hour, he returns to
find his office filled with visiting office
boys who are so placed that they can
not see it from their Offices. The
boys discuss the gallows and bet on
whether or not the governor will sign
his death warrant or not to such an
extent that it is impossible to get
any work out of the Office boys in
the Hennen building. For this rea>
son the attorneys wants Capt. Kenny
son to take it down or move it where
it cannot be seen from his Office.
But Capt Rennyson is afraid to take
it down now because the lumber is
green and if it has to remain down
long it will get out of shape and pos
sibly one would have to be built.
There is not much doubt that the
governor will not sign the death war
rants for Charles Foley and Moses D.
Lewis, for whom the scaffold is built,
until the latter part Of the year.

Barney Oldheld, the crack auto
mobilist, is fond of pictures, particu-
larly of etchings. He said the other
day, says the Baltimore American
"The best etching I have is one

etching hangs over my writing desk.
Hooking up one morning I no.
ticed that the picture hung crooked.
I Strengthened it up and resumed
my work.
"The next day the picture was
again crooked, and the next day and

hold of the straight-hung picture and
tip it on one side"

THE BRIDES LIM1TED,a
Novelty in Trains On the Pennsylva-
MO Railroad.

"The Brides Limited" is the latest
in railway trains, says a Philadelphia
special to the New York World. It
is being run daily from Philadelphia
to New York by the Pennsylvania
railroad. It gets its name from the
fact that not a day since the 1st OF
October has it failed to carry at least
one couple on their honeymoon.
The gatemen at the Broad stree,
station were the first to notice that
No. 600 was being patronized by new
ly married people. They exchanged
experiences with the train crew, who
promptly decided to rechristen their
train. The yardmen were told of the
discovery, and now the Pullman max
ing up "The Brides Limited" are Sc.
lected by name, the cars of Cupid and
Hymen being used whenever availa-
bic.
Then the porter was let into the Sc
eret. He is rapidly growing rich in
consequence. He says he has only
to walk through the car, PICK out the
bride and bridegroom and begin to
sweep up the rice certain tc be found

A Little japanese Patriot Letter.

A librarian of Kansas City writes
to The Star of that place:
"Menosaku Yamamoto, one of Our
students brought to my desk the in
closed encropt from Japanese news
paper, which he received in yester-
days mail The translation and the
handwriting are his own, and he
said. with evident feeling, that the
letter had been an inspiration to
to him. He asked that I send the
letter to you as showing the intense
patriotic fervor of the Japanese
even to the children and I take
pleasure in complying with his re-
quest"
Miss Atsuko Miyoshi, aged II,
sent noble heroic message to her
father. Hosuke Miyoshi, major
in the Japanese army, who died, an
honor to his nation, at the Battle of
Lao Yang after he received her let
ter.
The message is translated as fol-
lows:
My Dear Father: I am glad to
hear that you are on the battlefield
I am going to school every day, and
am more diligent than before, so
please don't worry about me-
Every day the newspaper publishes
an "extra," and whenever I receive
it, I think of you and your welfare
My younger brother started in the
first grade of the common school last
spring, and he is now studying very
diligently.
I believe that our dear country will
be victorious in this war. It is said
that Our gallant army took Fung-
hwan-ching at the battle during the
past few days, in which, think, you
took part, and no doubt you were
very courageous.
Whenever our army conquers in a
battle with Russia, flags are raised
and lanterns are lighted and cries of
"Banzai!' (hurrah) are heard in all
streets in honor of the victories.
When you return to me will you
please tell me stories about the va
rious battles, and will you bring me
a head of one of the Russians as a
present?
Please do not worry about the
things at home, but worry only about
the emperor and Our country. I hope
you will be able to drive Russia out
Of power in east Asia, and put our
dear country in her place.
| am thinking always of you and
how you are I would not grieve to
hear OF your death, if it would be on
the battlefield, but even though it be
on the field of battle I would be sorry
if it would not be an honorable death.

AFTERMATH OF THE
POGUES RUN FLOOD
Water Rapidly Recedes, Leaving
Drift and Slime in Its
Wake.

Water which rose in East Washington
street TO an alarming extent Friday after
noon and throughout the eastern part of
the city as the result of the overflow of
Pogue's run receded suddenly late Friday
night and early Saturday morning, opening
the roadway of Washington street again to
traffic. The first car out East Washington
street from the city was the owl car leav-
ing Illinois at 1:55 o'clock The car had
no trouble whatever in getting through the
flooded district, the water covered the
tracks but a few inches
By yesterday morning the roadway was
dry of water, but covered with several
inches of sand and mud The thouss nds of
blocks which washed down from South
eastern avenue and Market street were
cleared away early yesterday morning by
the employees of the indianapolis Street
cleaning Company. They were piled up
along the roadway, and will be used again
in the repair of the streets. Men were also
put TO work in cleaning Washington street
of the black mud which had washed up
with the water. By evening the task had
been completed, and the traces of the flood
were almost invisible. Throughout the
Pogue's run district, however. there were
evidences of the overflow of the day before.

of the new plant are full and that the other
stations are adequate TO supply all patrons

Is no danger OF shortage in gas on ac-
count of the flooding OF our new station.
