1t was one Of the great crowds of
Carlow's history. Since noon an al
most unintermittent procession of pc
destrians and vehicles had been making
its way TO the station. and every wag-
on, blackboard, buggy and "cut under"
had its flags or bunting or streamer Of
ribbons tied TO the whip. The excite
ment increased as the time grew short
er. Everybody was struggling for a
better position. The people in wagons
and carriages stood upon the seats. and
the pedestrians besieged them, climbing
| on the wheels or balancing recklessly
with feet on the hubs of opposite wag-
| ons. Everybody was bound to see him.

ing Of the train the band began TO play,
the cannon fired. horns blew and the

the people of Carlow were making.
There was one heart that almost
stopped beating. Helen was standing
on the front seat of the Briscoe buck
| board, with Minnie beside her. and at
the commotion the horses pranced and
backed so that Lige willetts ran TO hold
them. But Helen did not notice the
frightened roans. nor did she know
that Minnie clutched her round the

almost intolerable pause of expecta-

TWELVE OUNCE BABY.
Smallest Infant in the World Has 4
Inch Waist Measure and Is
Doinu Well,

New York, Nov. ia boy baby OF
Mrs. Dora Falk of "a East Seventh
street, which was born early today, a
5-montls child, is reported by DR..
Glass to DE getting stronger and
stronger.
The baby is eight inches long and
weighs twelve ounces, and is said TO
be the smallest baby that ever lived.
It's hand is only one inch long from
wrist to the tip of its middle finger;
its wrist is one inch in circumference;
its waist Is four inches, its head six
inches in circumference; its foot takes
up an inch and q half on the tape.
When DR.. Glass was called upon to
attend Mrs. Falk he thought at first
the child was dead, and laid it to one
side. 1t was not for an hour, accord
ing to his own statement, hat he
glanced at the child. Then he noticed
h a the baby was gasping for breath.
and Immediately he applied all his at
tention to reviving it.
Artificial breathing was resorted to
until twenty respirations were regis
tered a minute. Later the child was
able to take a t~easpoonful of water,
and developed a lusty yell. 1t was
placed in an incubator, and DR.. Glass
is confident it will live. The mother is
20 years old.

LOOKING INTO RATES.
Commission Is Trying to Learn If Liv.
Stock Charges Too
High.

Chicago, Nov. 16. = The interstate
commerce commission today began talk
ing testimony i'll three cases involving
rates on live stock from western and
southwestern points to Chicago and
the terminal points on the Mississippi
river. About 81, 600, 900 a year in freight
rates are aid to be at stake.
]. w. Grueber of Omaha, general SUI
perintendent of the Union Pacific rail-
way, was a witness today. THE heav-
lest cattle shipments are made about
the same time Of year as dead freight
shipments" said Mr.. Grueber, land in
the same direction. This makes the
empty mileage on our cars, which must
be returned. very great. We can but
rarely attain the schedule of speed
fixed for stock trains, and there is the
added expense of caring for stock
which is on the road longer than it
should be-"
Grueber was closely questioned re-
gardtng this inability to run stock
trains through on time on account of
the density of traffic when, by his own
admission, passenger trains maintained
a schedule of 20 to AZ miles per hour.
(which is the more expensive, to run
these trains fast or slow?' asked Mr..
Prouty.
O course fast running is more ex-
pensive on account of the fuel and
wear of machinery" He denied the
read saved money by this inability to
keep up to schedule, and said trains
ran as fast as required between sta
tons, but are compelled to wait at sid
ings and stations for other trains to
pass.

REFO1ha BY KAISER.
Liberal Use of Pardonine Power i
Lese Maieste is Promised, Bring
ina Radical Chances,

Berlin, Nov. 15.-It is announced thai
Emperor William has decided to use the
p%ardoning power literally hereafter in
cases of lese majestic. This is a radical
departure from the previous practice.
1t has been practically unknown hereto
fore for the emperor to pardon a person
convicted of this offense.
It is now sad that he intends to pardon
almost without exception when the Offend
er is shown to belong to the uneducated
classes, or to be incapable of weighing the
consequence Of a hasty word. Offenses
committed during drunkenness, or while
in an excited condition, rendering deliber-
alton impossible, also will constitute the
basis for pardon.
The emperor has directed the ministry
OF justice to deal literally with all per-
sons convicted of an insult to the former
who petition for pardon and show peni-
tcnce.
1t is expected that the new practice will
greatly reduce the number who will serve
out sentences for this offense, since the
impression is general that many slight Of
tenders have been convicted every year
through overoffctous states attorneys
and Judges,
