Baby Girl as a Present.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 3-Wheu
Chas. b. Cryer saw a couple draw up
to the do or Of his crockery store at
5sI Michigan avenue today and a
woman alight bearing a large box,
nee tly tied, which she requested him
to take home to his wife, he took the
package without a thought that the
contents would be other than flowers
or some other token Of regard for
Mrs. Cryer, who is not strong aud is
often made the recipient Of kind re-
MEMBRANES. He carried it to his
home and waited moment to see
wha, friend had been so generous in
remembering his wife this time.
Standing by his wife's side he
watched her unite the cords and lift
the cover from the box, and there lay
baby girl about a month old asleep.
The little stranger was neatly dress
ed, and the thoughtful donor had ey-
en- remembered to put the nursing
bottle by her side and the nipple In
her rosebud mouth
Attached to the clothing was a
note asking Mr.. and Mrs. Cryer to
keep the baby, if possible, for the
writer knew that they would give it
a good home and be kind to it. Mr..
and Mrs. Cryer have no intimation
of the babys parentage or history,
but have decided to keep her, as they
are childless.

Talked With Bonaparte

There is still living IN the village
OF Ligney, Belgium, a woman who
spoke with the great Napoleon on
the day of the battle, June l6, 1915
at that place.
Her name is Nine, AIMED osephe
Rubay, says the London daily Crap
hic. and she will reach her l02nd
birthday on July 20. Her memory
is still perfectly clear as to the incl
dent. Napoleon had established his
quarters close to the little farm where
she and her mother were alone. Her
parents had buried their little stock
of money aud valuables in the ground
and in the morning the Emperor
came out aud took up his position
near the spot. Fearing that be might
discover the hiding place, the farm
ers wife, to destract his attention,
took her head in both hands and
pretended to be suffering from tooth
ache.
This attracted the Emperor at
tention and, coming over to the wo-
man, he told her no: to be afraid but
added that the battle was about to be
fought she should betake herself and
little girl to a place Of safety. He
then turned to the little Anne-Jos-
ephe, and patting her on the cheeks,
told her to be "a good little girl and
take care Of her mother.
Encouraged by his kindness, the
farmer wife then told the Emperor
that her brother had served in one of
his Dragon regiments, but had not
been heard Of for several years. On
asccrtaining the name of the regiment
Napoleon replied that he was one OF
those that suffered most during the
retreat from Russia, but he would
have inquiries made. He then told
them to hurry of into the forest Of
Sombrefie until the fighting was over
Nine. RubAy has a perfect recollec-
ton OF the Emperor appearance and
described him a. "a little man with
a big nose.
She also rem bers the scene Of de-
,trucuon aud slaughter presented by
the village when they returned the
next day. She describes the French
soldiers as Zine fellows, but her
recollection of the Prusisians Is not
SO favorable, for "they ate up all our
chickens and our two calves without
paving for them. '---Ex.

ILLUMINATE NIAGARA
Fifty Largest Lights Of Their Kind Arc
10 be Used In Undertaking.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Aug. 10
All preparations are about compile
ted for the night illumination Of
Niagara Falls, regarded by engineers
as the greatest feat ever attempted
in electrical illumination. The
scheme calls for nearly fifty large
searchllghts, several of them the
largest of their kind and capable of
throwing a beam of light hundred
miles. The projectors are to be
located below the Falls In two bat
teries, one at the waters edge and
the other on high ground ou the
Canadian side. Every inch of the
falls will be under light. Attached
to the searchlights will be recent
ly invented color scintillater by
which the beams of light can be
made any color at will. The mist
and the waters will be bathed in all
the colors of the rainbow, producing
a most gorgeous effect.
1t is planned now to turn on the
Examinations for the first time next
Thursday night. The work is in
charge of the General Electric COM
pany, whose experts say that the
rays of colored light when flashed in
the air will be visible at points as
far distant as Toronto and Rochester.

Those who fear from any reason me
extension Of federal activity will do
well to study the history not only of
the national banking act, but of the
pure food law, and notably the meat
inspection law recently enacted. The
pure food law was opposed SO violent
~ that It's passage was delayed for a
decade, yet it has worked unmixed
and immediate good. The meat in.
spection law was even more violently
assaied. and the same men who now
denounce the attitude Of the national
government In seeking to oversee and
control the workings of interstate com.
mon carriers and business concerns
then asserted that we were "discredit.
ing and running a great American In
dustry" Two years have not elapsed,
and already it has become evident that
the great benefit the law confers upon
the public is accompanied by an equal
benefit to the reputable packing estab.
lishments. The latter are better off
1t. The benefit to interstate common
carriers and business concerns from
the legislation I advocate would be
equally marked.
Incidentally in the passage Of the
pure food law the action of the vari-
GUS state food and dairy commission
ers showed in striking fashion how
much good for the whole people re-
suits from the hearty cooperation of
the federal and state officials in secur.
Ing a given reform 1t is primarily
to the action of these state commits
sioners that we owe the enactment of
this law, for they aroused the people
first to demand. the enactment and en-
forcement of state laws on the subject
and then the enactment of the federal
law. without which the state laws
We're largely ineffective. There must

Grave Results Of Abuses.
"The grave abuses in Individual
cases Of railroad management in the
past represent wrongs not merely to
the general public. but. above all,
wrong to fair dealing and honest cor
porations and men Of wealth, because
they excite a popular anger and dis
trust which from the very nature of
the case tend to include in the sweep
of its resentment good and bad alike.
From the standpoint Of the public l
cannot too earnestly say that as soon
as the natural and proper resentment
aroused by these abuses becomes in
discriminate and unthinking 1t also be-
comes not merely unwise and unfair,
but calculated to defeat the very ends
which those feeling it have in view.
There has been plenty Of dishonest
work by corporations in the past.
There will not be the slightest let-up in
the effort to hunt down and punish ev-
cry dishonest man. But the bulk of
our business is honestly done In the
natural Indignation the people feel over
the dishonesty it is all essential that
they should not lose their heads and
get drawn into an .indiscriminate raid
upon all corporations, all people of
wealth, whether they do well or i'll.
Out Of any such wild movement good
will not come. cannot come and never
has come. On the contrary, the surest
way to invite reaction is to follow the
lead Of either demagogue or visionary
In sweeping assault upon property
values and upon public confidence,
which would work incalculable dam
age In the business world and would
produce such dtstrust of the agitators
that In the revulsion the distrust would
extend to honest men who in sincere
and sane fashion are trying to remedy
the evils

pealed, but 1t should be made both

country, and within ten years there
has been an increase in circulation per
capita from S21.41 to $33.OS. For sew
eral years evidence has been accumu-.
lating that additional legislation Is
needed. The recurrence of each crop
season emphasizes the defects of the
present laws. There must soon he a
revision of them, because toleave them
as they are means to incur liability
Of business disaster. Since your body
adjourned there has been f1uctuation
in the interest on call money from 2
per cent to 30 per cent, and the fiuc-
tuation was even greater during the
preceding six months. The secretary
OF the treasury had to step In and by
wise action put stop to the most yio-
lent period of oscillation. Even worse
than such fluctuations are the advance
In commercial rates and the uncertainty
felt in the sufficiency Of credit even at
high rates. All commercial interests
suffer during each crop period Ex-
cessiye rates for call money In New
York attract money from the interior
banks into the speculative field. This
depletes the fund that would other
wise be available for commercial uses
and commercial borrowers are forced
to pay abnormal rates, so that each
fall tax in the shape of increased in
terest charges is placed on the whole
commerce of the country.
"The mere statement of these facts
shows that our present system is seri-
ously defective. There is need Of
change. Unfortunately, however, many
of the proposed changes must be ruled
from consideration because they are
complicated, are not easy Of compre-
tension and tend to disturb existing
rights and interests. We must also

ally impair the value of the United

which was made under conditions pc
culiarly creaitable to the treasury. I

GUS plans have recently been proposed

Among the plans which are possibly
feasible and which certainly should re-
ceive your consideration is that repeat
eddy brought to your attention by the
present secretary Of the treasury, the
essential features of which have been
approved by many prominent bankers
and business men. According to this

THE SHERMAN LAW.
Should Be Amended to Permit Proper
Combinations In Business.

Moreover, in my judgment, there
should be additional legislation looking
to the proper control of the great bust
ness concerns engaged in interstate
business, this control to be exercised
for their own benefit and prosperity no
less than for the protection of invest
ors and Of the general public. AS
have repeatedly said in messages to
the congress and elsewhere, experience
has definitely shown not merely the
unwisdom, but the futility, Of endeav-
oring to put stop to all business COM
binations. Modern Industrial condi-
lions are such that com bination is not
50 in the world of business just as it is
SO in the world of labor, and it Is as
idle to desire to put an end to all cor
porations, to all big combinations Of
I capital, as to desire to put an end to
combinations Of labor Corporation and
labor union alike have come to stay.
Each If properly managed is source
of good and not evil. Whenever in
either there Is evil it should be prompt
