momentous judicial decisions on rec

in Brooklyn, to howl and yowl and rip
up the palpitating silence of the night
and turn it inside out while its-the
baby's-''toofens'' are pushing them
selves out as protest against con-
tinuous milk diet The court also
ruled that this decision applies to
both boy and girl babies. The case
created considerable interest in baby

Brooklyn and the court room was
crowded with mothers, who were wait

side of Greenwich street, between Ce.
dar and Liberty streets in the lower
part of Manhattan and will be the first
large hotel of it's kind in that part OF
the city In the syndicate which is
about to embark in this venture are
several English capitalists and Amer

of building a bridge across Hudson
river between New York City and the
New Jersey shore were taken the 9th
err day when test borings were begun

Jersey shore about one mile north OF
Fort Lee. The borings are made to
determine whether the ground at that
particular place is suitable to bear the
enormous weight of the land pier OF
the proposed bridge. Borings will also
be made opposite 1O9th street. an.

proposed bridge The site at roth
