CHECKED HER BABY

Max Weiss and Sadie Strauss were
married at Capitol hall, 16 Manhattan
avenue Williamsburg, Saturday night.
While the reception was at its height
a young woman went upstairs to check
her child before she went into the re-
ception. The hall runs a nursery on
the third floor, over the reception
room where mothers can check babies
if they do not want to leave them at
home.
Four of the wedding guests had al
ready checked their babies, but the
nurse found room for another. The
mother was very particular for so
young a mother. She told the nurse
that the baby would be hungry in
about an hour and gave the nurse
bottle to feed it with. The mother
did not look more than 16 years old.
After turning back to fix the child in
it's crib she went down to the recep-
ton and the nurse saw her pass in
among the crowd.
Mrs. Lena Friedling, wife of the hall
keeper, kept the baby till yesterday
evening. always expecting that the
parent would return full of excuses.
But when twenty-four hours were past
she turned the unclaimed little girl
over to the Stage street police sta
ton. The baby was lively and healthy,
but only a few weeks old. 1t was taken
down from the station to the city
nurse in Livingston street, Brooklyn
New York Sun.

GREAT COMET pUEIN 1910

The most famous of all comets,
though not the largest and most bril-
liant, will again be visible in 1910. This
is Halley's comet, so called from its
Identification by the great astronomer
who was the friend of Sir Isaac New
ton. Halley's Investigations of astro-
nomical records led him to assert that
the comet which he had observed in
1852 had appeared in 1881 and in 1907
and to predict it's temperance in 1853.
The fulfillment of his prophecy excited
the most intense scientific interest and
established beyond doubt the periodici-
ty of comets and their movements in
orbits determined by the law of CRAWL
tation. It's last appearance was in 1885,
it's period varying between seventy-hve
and seVenty-siX years on account of
the perturbing attractions of Jupiter
and Saturn in certain parts of its orbit.
1t was by that time possible TO calcu-
late it's movements with so much great
err accuracy than before that it made
it's perihelion passage within four days
of the predicted date. 1t was not then
a very grand object to the naked eye,
but the light of it's nucleus surpassed
that of second stars and was
comparable with that of some reddish
stars of the first magnitude, such as
Aldebaran and Antares. It's tail, while
the comet was approaching the sun,
attained to a length of 20 degrees

ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON

The greatest legal contest that this
country has ever witnessed has now
been begun in the United States courts
by the attorney general. 1t is to de-
eide whether an enormously capitalized
and immensely powerful private cor
poration, in control of a great national
product and owning or controlling rail-
roads, mines, steamship lines banks
and great lines of manufacture, is above
the law of the land, which it has sys-
tematically violated. There is no cry of
an attack on vested interests" raised
this time. The Standard Oil company,
criminal in it's origin. growth and meth

years the embodiment of all that is

BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTION

We are all familiar with the ardor
and conservation the candidate displays
in his address to Economy. She is the
idol of his heart, the little wayside
flower he has unexpectedly come upon
In the dreary desert of life, the one
alone whose charms have stirred with
ungovernable passion breast that has
been cold and unresponsive to all other
forms and faces. To her he proffers
tempestuous VOWS of eternal fidelity,
for her his hitherto hayward heart
shall ever beat in constancy and truth.
The curtain falls on Economy in the
act of skiing into her lovers arms.
Scene 1.-THE next morning. The can
didate is elected. Economy heard and
believed him. Now his only thought is
how to get rid of the good thing he has
won by such impassioned wooing. May
be he will take her out in boat and
drown her on the Gillette plan. Maybe
he will go off and commit bigamy with
the adventures Extravaganza. At all
events, he turns, like fickle man, TO the
Establishments Of place seekers who
helped him win, to the possibilities of
keeping in power by the use of public
funds in ways that will do the most
good. There was much justice I'm the

FEMALE Cables

All Paris is excited over the question
whether a woman should be allowed to
drive a cab. For one applied to the So
ciety' Assistance aux Animaux for les
sons in driving and taking care of
horses. These lessons are for coach
ers." Now, if the woman receives a
certificate from the school she should
receive her license from the project of
police.
Suppose a woman were to drive a
hack or cab in Boston. She might argue
that women and some men would en-
gage her, presuming that she could not
be drunk. Women would go with her
as sympathetic person for shopping
expedition. Thus she might reason to
herself, not knowing that the majority
of her sex would feel safer with man
on the box, even if his face were in
hue like boiled lobster and his breath
reminded one of fireworks.
Then there is the question OF re-
partee for which cab drivers have long
been famous. Could a woman shine I'm
airy persihage, in light conversational
touch-and-go?
Furthermore, there is the important
matter of speed. Naturally fleet horses
are often lazy and they are hardened
against the whip. The one thing that
quickens their heels is profanity-a de-
plorable but indsputable fact, whether
there be need of speed in California or
under an oriental sky, whether the
course be in a Berlin street or across
Cape Cod. 1t is said that this profan-
ity is not noted by the recording angel
especially if the driven animal be a
mule, and If women begin with horses
they will surely come to mules. Rlch-
ard Ford once said that few nations
can surpass the Spaniards In the IAN
guage Of vituperation. ut is limited
only by the extent of their anatomical,
geographical, astronomical and reli-
gious knowledge; 1t is so plentifully be-
slowed on their animals that oaths and
lmprecations seem to be considered as
the only language the mute creation
can comprehend" Now no one would
like to hear a woman swear, even If
there were danger of losing their train.
We have not mentioned the subject
of appropriate dress. Possibly cos
tune something like that worn by the
circus ladies who drive Roman tri-
umphal cars might do in fair weather.

| personal veracity. Mr.. Storer had as
serted that. I'm 1903 at oyster Bay
"the president said to me that II ]
went to Rome he would like to have
me see the pope, and say to him in per-
son that the archbishop was his friend
and that he would be pleased to hear
that he had received the honor of pro-
motion to the cardinalate" This the
president roundly denies. He says that
IL is mot only an untruth, but an alb
surd untruth.' Unluclily for him Mr.
Storer has a corroborating witness-no
less a person than Archbishop Ireland
himself. He wrote to Mrs. Storer of an
interview which he had, shortly after,
with Mr.. Roosevelt at oyster Bay, and
explicitly declared:
THE president said to me: Mr.. Stor-
er has told you what ! said to him
about you archbishop?
Il replied, L do not remember--'
About his going to Rome|
ct said, No
We'll he said, 4 told him I would
not write a letter to the pope asking
for honors to yoL, but / said that he
could go to Rome and say, viva voce,
to the pope how much I wish you to be
cardinal, ana how grateful [ personally
would be to him for giving you that
honor"
Mr.. Roosevelt has not commented-as
yet upon this fiat archiepiscopal con-
tradiction.
The whole is a mournful affair. What
will the world think of presidential dig
nifty? What idea will be given of our
diplomatic service? How much like a
world-power does all this make u.s.
look? The entire wretched quarrel
should have been kept under lock and
key. If the president has any more
of this dirty linen in his basket we
hope that Taft can be made to sit on
the cover. A democratic people is not
too fastidious, but it does want those
whom it honors to behave like gentle
men. The incident will, to be sure
furnish more material for the students
of Roosevelt psychology. 1t may give
some of them fresh reason to apply to
the president the description which
Froude gave in his Caesar" of the
younger Cato:
mo one ever suspected him of dis
honesty or corruption. But his excel
lences were not of the retiring sort. He
carried them written upon him in let
ters for all to read, as a testimony toI
a wicked generation. And no
one was permitted to differ from him
without being guilty rather of a crime
than of mistake"
