ed to take the boy with her. But Ber-
wick insisted on his rights as father.
She was finally pursuaded by Clerk
Donnolly of the Adams street court that
Berwick had just claim to the boy. AS
her parents wanted to return to Ger
many, she waived her claim to her child
on the condition that Berwick would ad
vance her the passage money to Europe

and Berwick agreed to pay this sum.
The trouble in the Berwick family be-
gan a few days ago when Berwick
brought home SIS which he drew from

wife's parents. The couple put it away
in their room. Thursday they could not
find it, and Berwick went to the Adams
street station and reported that the money
was missing.

station yesterday and made complaint
against her husband. accusing. him of
stealing the money. He was Arrested and
taken to the Adams street court later In

1o1,613 Are White and 1880 Col
ored in Registration List.

BALTIMORE. October 16.-The board OF
election supervisors completed yesterday
a recapitulatfon OF the registration lists
of Baltimore and found that there are
now upon the books 11S,943 voters who
are entitled to participate in the general
election November 2. OF this number
1O1 ,613 are white and II $50 colored.
The registration shows that the negroes
are In the vast majority In the seven
teenth ward. while they make up con-
siderably large part OF the vote In the
fifth. eleventh, fourteenth. fifteenth, six
teentk, eighteenth and twenty-second
wards. There are a large number of them
in every ward except the first. thirteenth
and twenty-tourth wards.
The people of the eleventh, twelfth
thirteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth wards
which compose the most fashionable Sec
lions of the city, will undoubtedly be sur
prised at the big increase In their negro
population during the past few years. Be-
cause of this fact these wards are eradu
ally becoming republican wards. as the
negroes are solidly allied with that party

gan there were enrolled On the books

Of 115,954 voters. Thus 3,O12 pew voters
were added this fall.
Because Ct a number of inaccuracies OF
the registration books the supervisors viii
summon the registers of about seventy.
five precincts to appear before them. ant
make the corrections. Most of the mis-
takes are said to be trifiing. In mum
berof wards the registers failed to SHOW
that the voters duly qualified.

previous years is shown by the report
from Wilmington, N. c.. but the type of
the disease is much milder than in former
years, now more nearly resembling that
seen in Italy. Since June last about forty
cases of the malady have come under the
observation of the local physicians at
Wilmington. with three or four deaths re-
ported as being due to this cause.
Eight cases of the disease, all of them
fatal. are reported from Beaufort, S. c.

Its History of Interest.
The history Of the Calcografia Reale
is interesting and worth noting. The
inception of the collection dates back to
the sixteenth century, when Antonio La
fiery, a Burgundian printer, engraver
and publisher of engravings, assembled
and preserved plates produced by various
artists in his employ. among the cleverest
of which was his nephew, Claude DucIet,
a painter, as well as all engraver. After
the death of I.afrery and Duchet the
printing establishment and the store, with
its rich collection Of engravings, passed
to Jacques Gherardi' de Carmasnela, the
brother -in-law of the latter. and, at the
beginning Of the seventeenth century, 1t
again changed hands, becoming the prop
erty of Jean Baptiste de Rossi. a dealer
in prints. The de Rossi, family from
