A NURSE
Child Born to Mother of 18 in
Lone Chateau Of
France.

Paris, Jan. 24.-The authorities at
Brest are at present endeavoring to
solve the singular mystery surround
ing birth. "A short time ago COW
cred carriage drove up to fetch mid
wife at night time. The midwife en-
tered the carriage, and suddenly a
second woman in the carriage ban
daged the midwife's eyes, and told her
to say nothing. HI K g.5.s .
After long journey the carriage
stopped, and the midwife was led up
stairs to a chateau. The bandage was
removed from her eyes, and she saw
that her services were required for a
young lady eighteen or twenty years
OF age. When the birth took place,
and she wanted to return home, she
was told that she, could not do so un-
til darkness set in. When night came
she, was given a purse containing a
considerable sum of money, and
driven back to Brest, her eyes being,
again bandaged. HID 4 II .s1
A4 discovery has now been made in
a nearby town. which, it is thought,
may have some connection with the
mystery. IA man left an automobile,
and, entering a house, which was de-
serted at the moment, deposited a
bundle On the table and left. When
the bundle was opened by the woman
OF the house 1t was found to contain.
q male baby, about q week old. Pinned

Bowery, Mott and Pell streets, famil-
iarly known as Chinatown, are. busy
just now preparing for the celebra-
ton of San Lin, the Chinese New
Year. To those astronomically in
clined it may be interesting to know
that the Chinese New Years falls on

ters Aquarius, which makes it come
not before January, 81 nor after Feb
ruary 10. The celebration this year
begins the latter part of this week
and will continue about month. The
year is indicated by the age of the
reigning emperor, SO the coming year

GOVERNMENT CRITICISED
FOR VALENCIA DISASTER

Seattle. Wash, Jan. PA resume
of the situation shows that at least
thirty persons perished and perhaps
as many as seventy Something like
hundred persons are so far unac-
counted for and are presumed to be
clinging to the wreck. Bitter criti-
cisms of the government and signal
service were heard among the ship
ping men. The government wire from
Tatoosh Island to the main land has
never been maintained Had the wire
been up yesterday morning tugs
could have been instantly dispatched
to the scene instead of whole day

Warm Weather Opens Threats
and Budding
Sprigs.

Hagerstown, Md, Jan. 24.-The old
est inhabitant of western Maryland
cannot recall such a spell of warm
weather as now prevails.
Frogs are heard from the swamps
along the Potomac river and farmers
report seeing large caterpillers, ants
and other insects that only come when
spring fairly opens. The warm spell
has forced the buds of fruit and shade
trees to an advanced stage and maple
trees are in bloom, while apple. peach,
apricot and other early fruit buds are
swollen almost to bursting. Fruit
growers fear for the fruit crop that
the buds may develop to such a de-
gree and freezing spell of weather
follow and destroy the crop.

No other holiday is so impoll ant in
the estimation of the Chinaman as
New Year, as is evidenced by the ella
borate preparations now being made
for the festival. Stores are being
decorated, and the utensils and store
fixtures are being laid away, to be re-
placed by ornate chairs, fancy screens,
tables covered with potted plants and
gaudy canopies and hangings.
The days included in the New Year
celebration will be spent in feasting,
and work will be conspicuous by its
absence. Today began the settlement

ethics teach them that they will not
be successful II they begin the new
year in debt, and a Chinaman will sell
everything in his shop, If necessary,
in order to start square with the
