CRADLE OF MANY SORROWS
Crib for Foundlir$s in Which 1900
Infants Are Placed Every
Year,

There is a cradle within the door
of one of the great institutions of New
York before which constantly recur-
ring tragedy is being enacted. 1t is
a plain cradle, quite simply draped in
white, but with such look of coy
comfort about it that one would
scarcely suspect it to be cradle OF
sorrow, says Tom Watson's Magazine.
And this cradle is the most useful,
and. in way, the most inhabited
cradle in the world. Day by day,
and year after year. it is the recipient
of more small wayfaring souls than
any other cradle in the history Of the
race In it the real children Of sor-
row are placed, and over it more tears
are shed than if it were AN open
grave.
1t is the place where annually 1.200
ioundlings are placed-the silent wit
nesses Of more truly heartbreaking
scenes than any other cradle since the
world began. For nearly IS years it
has stood where it does to-day, ready
draped, open, while as many thousand
mothers have stolen shame-facedly in,
and, after looking helplessly about
have laid their helpless offspring with
in its depths.
For IS years, winter and summer
in the bitterest cold and the most
sitting heat, it has seen them come
The poor, the rich. the humble, the
proud; the beautiful the homely-and
one by one they have laid their chill
dren down and brooded over them
wondering whether it were possible for
human love to make so great sacri.
fee and yet not die.
Still the tragedy repeats itself, and
year after year, and day after day, the
unlocked door is opened and de-
throned virtue enters-the victim OF
ignorance, and passion. and affection,
and a child 10 robbed of an honorable
home.

osLER LIST FOR BRITAIN.
Ihe Chloroform Prescription for Men
at Sixty Would Take Many
of the Noted.

A learned man has recently proposed
that men who have reached the three
score limit should be painlessly removed
from world which has no further use
for them,
Suppose, says the New York Tribune,
it were, to be done; preliminaries set
tied, and the tumbrils in readiness, one
of the first to step in would be his
gracious majesty King Edward VII,
and it would be incumbent upon the at
tendants respectfully to intimate that
Queen Alexandria would be required to
take her place beside he's royal hus-
band. Another occupant Of the van
in a years time would be Princess
Christian.
If his majesty chose the last ride might
be enlivened, however, for by royal COM
mand Sir Henry Irving. Sir Charles
Wyndham, Nine. Sarah Bernhardt,
Nine. Patti and Charles Santley would
be qualified under the ''age limit" to ac-
company the royal party to the lethal
chamber.
So far as England is concerned, the
-
20, would depart, save nine.
Sir John Fisher would have to relin-
uuish the cares of Office of the admiralty,
for he has passed DR.. Ossler's allotted
span by four years. Admirals Seymour,
Fremantle and Hay would be among a
very large number of maritime notables
who would have to accompany him.
The army also would suddenly be be-
reft of Lord Roberts, Lord Wolseley, Sir
Evelyn Wood, Sir Redvers Butler and
Lieut. Gen. French. 1t is pleasing to note,
however, that Lord Kitchener would be
fitness for another five years.
There would be very few dignitaries
of the church left, Dean Bath and Wells,
Carlisle, Chichester, Gloucester, Ches-
ter. Ely and Hedeford and the arch
bishop of York would have to relinquish
the superintendent of their .respec-
tive diOceses summary.
Science would lose Mr.. Edison and Sir
Hiram Maxim. Lord Avebury and Sir
William Crookes; literature would be
bereft of Count Tolstoi, George Mere
dith, Clark Russell. Algernon Swim
burne, Alfred Austin, Mark Twain,
Frederic Harrison, w L. Alden. Thomas
Hardy, Justin Mccarthy, Barring Gould,
Sir Francis Burnand, Miss Braddon and
"Ouida," and journalism would mourn
Mr.. LIE Sage, of the Daily Telegraph, Sir
William Howard Russell. Thomas Cast
ling and many another stalwarts of the
fourth estate"
For the most part the present cabinet
would still be left, but his colleagues
would have to bid adieu to the marquis
of Lansdowne. Last. but by no means
least. Joseph Chamberlain would have
to join the silent majority.

COTTON SITUATION,
Usual Decline Has Not Occurred This
Year.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-In their
weekly cotton review Miller & Co.,
say: "The usual decline at the begin
ming of a new season has not occurred
and to that extent the farmer has the
advantage. 1t is notable that the
farmers are not willing to sell under
10 cents a pound, while the spinners
stop buying as soon as the price rises
above the 1912 cent limit. AS a result
the market moved between very mar
row limits. Opinions are divided as
to the capacity or desire of the Octo-
Der bull clique to take up, as presented,
100000 bales Of cotton on their Octo-
Der longs. Time alone can decide that
point, but it will soon become clear.

TWO years ago, wnen the crop turned

Waterworks Reservoir at Charleston.

Active work on the construction of
the new storage reservoir at Clarks-
ton, was begun yesterday. Two lines
of narrow gauge road, each about 400
feet in length, have been laid and an
other line of the same length will be
laid on Monday.
Forty men are now employed, they
being engaged in excavating for the
wall of the dam. This will be sunk
down to a depth of IS feet below the
level of the present roadway, the wall
having a total height of IS feet, 81
feet being above the level Of the road.
The excavation for the wall will be
800 feet long, and will run from IS to
IS feet in depth. The most Of this is
rock work and progress is necessari-
ly SLOW The magnitude of the under
taking is now beginning to show, and
from the work so far done Charleston
will have one of the finest reservoirs
in the west guaranteeing to the town
an adequate supply of water. The

Aside from the pleasure of eating
