A baby in a suit case on the steps of a
former justice of the Supreme Court is a
natural phenomenon that is perplexing

Charles c. Lancaster of 1749 Q street

street. heard the baby's wall and started
to investigate.
After searching for the source of the
sound he found that the plants he heard
must certainly proceed from the inside OF
the suit case which he saw on Justice
Browns steps. so he rang the bell. called
the justice to the door and broke the
news to him that an unexpected caller
was waiting on the threshold.

A letter from Mrs. Marshall Vass has been received by The Advertiser, and recounts how Mrs. Vass as a schoolgirl, met General Lee. the cen- tennary of whose birth was observed yesterday. and her delightful rememb- rances of her meetings with the Gen. eral. The letter is as follows:
 Editor The Advertiser:

WHY THE REPORTER FELL DOWN
 ON HIS BIC MURDER STORY

An explosion as of gun of large calibre; scream; a Gark object seen to fall to the ground; the whole quick ly shut from view by the quickly gathered crowd. Those were the ele- ments of a great story, either murder or suicide. which called a reporter to the corner of Dexter avenue and Perry street at 1e:24 1-2 last evening.
 He struggled to get vut his pad and pencil as he ran, while visions of his name in large black letters at the head ofAa column on the front page fitted through his mind. There was fleet ing question as he stumbled over the street ear tracks, if he might catch the first edition with a photograph of the vic---bu just here his flying thoughts were crystallized into action by burly policeman:
 Here, don't everybody try to crowd in here, Can't ye ses yu're blocking tn street?'
 But. sir,'' replied the reporter. one of those showed back. in his suavest tones. T am a gentleman of the press"

"oh we'll, come on ur then. and see everything there is to it.
 And the reporter showed his way through the throng, to discover. lying on the pavement. with the cutter wrap ping all broken, a large bundle. of clothing.
 Just few steps away had stood a man before the explosion occurred; that much the reporter Knew. But now that particular man was not there. Where he had stood. there lay the ruins of the flash light apparatus of camera, as he had endeavorrd to get flash light view of an approaching street car.
 It had burst, as he started to use 1t. and the reporter was not the only per son who was startled at the loud sound. For a negro woman had been standing on the corner, waiting for the ear, Jnmped and screamed as. the explosion occurred. dropping the huge bundle of clothing she vas taking home to clean. That 1t was which had been seen to fall tc the pavement and which, with the explosion, attracted the crowd to the scene.

WHISTLER LOSES OUT
JUDGE BROWNE DECIDES AGAINST
 MUNICIPALITY.
Anti-Inc0rporatiOnist are Successful in Contest Between Citizens of the Suburb of
 Mobile.

Mobile, Oct 24-(Special.) )--After hearing lasting since yesterday at noon. the case of the anti-incorpora- tionists contesting the Whistler incor- poration was settled this afternoon, Judge Browne of the Circuit Court rendering a decision against the cor porationists and declaraing the town of Whistler free from corporation.
 The charges brought by the antrim corporationists that several of the votes cast for incorporation were ille- gal, was sustained by Judge Browne
 The costs of the trial are upon the former city official. Stephen J. Me- Carty.
 The attorney for the incorporation. ists said he would not appeal the, case unless it was the wish of his clients.
 Truth Acrushed to earth will rise again" was a statement made in the court this morning while the Whistler case was being heard, and Judge Browne laughingly said Yes, but the truth is hard to find in this case; that's what I am looking for, the truth"
 Court adjourned earlier than l2 o'clock to give counsel for the defend ants time to get one or more Wit nesses in court, and reconvened this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
 Yesterday afternoon, counsel for the relators introduced the official poll book of the tax collectors ofhce, and the official registration book of the Probate Ohice, as evidence. Objection to 1t was made on the, ground that It was illegal and incompetent
 The whistler ballot box was intro duced and Robert Peterson of Whistler, one of the inspectors of election, was instructed to count the ballots. At first 1t seemed that there were more ballots for incorporation than against 1t, and the attorney wanted the court to stop the case at this point, but Judge Browne said he would be guided by the Inspectors report made out after the election, no matter how the ballots stood. as one or more ballots might have been misplaced since that time,
 Thomas Halliwell, chief clerk of the tax collectors oIfice, testified regarding the poll taxes paid by the six voters
