No recent invention of medical sci
ence is accomplishing a greater hui
manitarian work than the baby incu-
bator which is being exhibited in its
most improved form on the Pike at the
Worlds fair at st. Louis, Mo. Here
may be seen premature infants that
would have died within a day after
birth had not the incubator been
ready to stand in the place of a mother
to them. 1t is now possible to save
the life of a premature baby weighing
less than two pounds at birth where
ten years ago such thing was I'M
heard of. In the Pike incubators a
baby only weighing a pound and five
ounces is now being brought to full
fedged babyhood, making new rec
ord in incubator science.

The history of these twins is story

weighed only one and half pounds
when he arrived at the incubator two
months ago. When he graduated he
tipped the scale at four and half
pounds. His sister Catherine weigh

she reached six pounds weight. Such
conditions as prevail at the incubator

For several weeks the afflicted man has been sui fering from nervous trouble. and from this. acting queerly, until his friends became alarmed as to his condition. Mir. Davis has brother in Bisbee. and he was notified of his brothers ill ness. On coming here he found that he sick mans condition was becom ing more and more alarming daily, and he at once telegraphed to Mrs. T. K. Davis, who has been teaching a

 full of generalities and of party argu- ments along expedient lines. Judge
 Parker's friends, when they saw it,
 told MT. Hill that it would never do to
 have a platform of this sort; that 1t
 must be a declaration going straight
 to the point, in order to give the Dem ocrats Of the country something tangi-
 ble to draw on; that when they insist
 ed upon a short platform, without any
 of the important national issues, they did not mean that 1t should be 'strad- de CT compromise on any of the questions which 1t did discuss. This statement was youched for py other friends of Judge Parker in this city. who said that MT. Hills only ob- feet was to advance, and not to in]ure Judge Parker's interest, and that he would produce plan when the conven- tion convened two weeks hence which would suit every one.
 The position of Judge Parker was | that New York was but one state ID | the Union. and the New York deIega tion( after all, had only a small pei centage of the total representation ID the National Convention. On this the ory it was not to be expected that New York State would undertake to dictate to he Democrats of ali the other states the issue to be considered in the na | tional campaign.
