FOUND LIKE MOSES.
Philadelphia Policeman Acts Part of
Pharaoh's Daughter to Baby Girl.


Philadelphia, Aug. a. A baby girl,
alive and kicking, came floating down
a gutter in Eighth street, near Wash
ington avenue, to the amazement of
Policeman Silber, who was standing
by.
1t had been raining heavily, and the
gutter was full to overfiowing. Being
very young, apparently not more than
FIVE days old, the baby did not require
a great depth of water in which to
swim. She was floating on her back
as easily as an experienced swimmer,
and every now and then she yelled
Justify.
Silber picked up the baby, wrapped
it in his coat and carried 1t to the sta
station, where the matren took 1t in
charge and gave it bottle of milk
Later it was sent to the Philadelphia
hospital, apparently none the worse
for Its peculiar dip.
1t is not known how the baby got
into the gutter or how far it had been
floating when 1t reached the police
man.

READY FOR FALL TRADE.

Commercial Activity Maintained De-
spite Seasonable Dizziness.
New York, Aug. Ar. G. Dun & Co. IS
weekly report says:
Aside from the seasonable dullness
in wholesale departments, commercial
activity is we'll maintained and early
preparations are made for autumn and
winter business. August opened with
no adverse developments In the trade
situation, while crop progress during
July was most favorable
1t is not often that managers of q
leading industry are uneasy regarding
the future because of too much busi-
ness, yet that is becoming the situa-
tion at iron furnaces and steel mills.
Several problems are arising on ae-
count of the apparently unlimited ton
mage that consumers seek. Orders on
the books are far In excess of the esti-
mated output
wheat declined this week to the low
est point since exports fell off so Sc
yerely over two years ago, and the re-
turn to attractive prices Is expected to
produce resumption of foreign de-
mand. This broader interest by export
ers is the best element of support, as
generally encouraging crop news comes
from the northwest.
Commercial failures in the United
States are $50 against PIG last week,
1872 the preceding week and 232 the
cOrresnOnding week last wear Fail
ures in Canada Number 16 against IL
last week, % the preceding week and

fore House Of Commons.
London. Aug. 4-The trades dispute
bill, which is a direct outcome of the
Taft Vale decision that trades unions
funds are liable for the illegal acts of
individual members of union, passed

men or employers, complete immunity
from claims for damages for illegal

STIR IN ART CIRCLES.
Anthony Comstook's Action In SEEKING
Magazine Criticised.

Magazine Criticised.
New York. Aug 4.-No one in art
circles was more surprised at the seiz-
ure by Anthony Comstock of maya
zines published by the Art Students
league than Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke,
director of the Metropolitan museum
and leading authority on art In this
country, if not In the world. Sir Cas-
par will not be surprised to see the
agent Of the Antivice society swoop
down on the Metropolitan museum any
day and seize some of its famous ex-
hibits.
II trust that Comstock's action does
not mean that the liberty of the art
schools is to be taken away. There is
no indecency In art All the art schools
employ models in the nude" said Sir
Caspar.
"a nude figure isn't indecent unless
it is made nude with the object of Of
Tending public morals"
The publication to which objection is
made by Mr. Comstock is called the
American Student In Art. 1t consists
of articles ON the life and works of
well known American artists and con-
tains reproductions of drawings, some
of them of nude figures.
