Unable to Decide, She Says, How
Much q Baby Is Worth to Any
But the Mother.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Ever since
Richard Montague lost his job as a driver
for a large grocery firm because a thick
growth was creeping over his eyes and
he was threatened with total blindness
Mrs. Montague has been casting about
desperately for some method Of keeping
body and soul together for her blue-eyed
youngsters. her husband and herself, in
their two little rooms in the rear OF the
fourth floor OF 30 Hudson street.
Her anxiety became all the moro fran
tic when she discovered that, for the first
time in their experience, the brief weeks
credit she had enjoye hitherto in pur-
chasing the family groceries and milk
for the baby was waning under the fast
growing shadow OF the wolf at the door.
Two weeks ago she could hear the wolf
growing at the very threshold when the
housekeeper announced. what she knew
quite well already. that the rent was
month and a half overdue.
Her husband went to the Vanderbilt
clinic to have his eye trouble diagnosed
A specialist told him he must undergo an
operation. which would cost $1j, and stay
a week in the hospital. Later. when he
learned that the only wealth the family
had was sudden wealth Of unpaid bills,
the specialist offered to perform the OPP
GRAFTON for nothing II Montague would
merely pay his board at the hospital-$1

Hard to Give Up Baby.

Zone woman has already written, say
ing she is willing to adopt the baby, but
she says she is as poor as We are. She
sent a dollar nevertheless with her letter
It wouldn't do to shoulder our trouble
on to her. Every time I look at the baby
I feel it harder and harder to part with
her. Look, she is just like butter (and
hugging her won't keep US. will it?''
Miss Evelyn Grace Montague began to
crow and jump vigorously up and down
In her mothers lap. Evidently she
thought that sitting at home and hug
ging would do perfectly well. Five-year-
old Arthur crept up and pinched the
baby's fat little cheeks. He didn't seem
overanxious on the selling game either.

Colored Preacher Sent Money.

Yesterday a little help drifted in to
them. Some one sent an anonymous let
ter suggesting that they try for the
fathers eyes a certain ointment manu-
featured by 4 Cooper square medicus,
with a sure promise OF curing anything
from blindness to cancer or cholera
morbus. A Mott street physician offered
his services free, and a woman wrote
that a Brooklyn physician. who had cured
her nephew Of blindness, would, she felt
sure, cure Montague free Of charge. A
colored preacher in Trenton wrote in an
uncertain struggling hand that he was
"a servant Of God who feels 1t his duty
to care for the poor. even though a col
ored man." and who asked her to put
faith in Christ Jesus and accept the in
closed 81 The servant OF God in Tren-
ton also begged the mother not to part
with her baby, as the aforementioned
trust would surely save them.
Mrs. Moneque herself didn't seem fully
to have grasped the meaning Of a baby
sale when q reporter saw her yesterday.
II don't know what to ask for her."
she said. II don't know how much a
baby is worth-except to me, and that
isn't in dollars. If could only feel sure
that she will be cared for by people bet
ter off than We, I guess that would be
enough pay.

Could Not Do Work.

They were very happy anticipating the
$3.50 a day Montague would make at his
new job until toward noon the contractor
told Mrs. Montague that he didn't think
her husband, with his falling sight. could
make good" and that he was keeping
him for q day or two only because he
pleaded so hard. The man in his present
condition really wasn't fit for any sort of
work, he said, and ought to be in hos

thought of selling my own flesh and blood

with their babies. but at the same time l
know it would be better for the baby and
probably save all the others IL I could
have her adopted in some comfortable
family who would take care Of her
better than her own people can"

through the neighborhood the proud news
that their mother was planning to sell

DRAG JURORS TO COURT
UNWILLING CITIZENS COMPELLED

People Who Rejoiced Because Trial
Would Attract Strangers

Vitebro, Italy, Mar. 16.-Cavaliere
Bianchi, president of the court, set
about getting jury to try the sc
members of the Neapolitan Comorra.
He used methods that promise results,
despite the terror that has filed the
hearts of citizens at the possibility
of being obliged to condemn those
whose deaths might be avenged
When court opened the president
at once imposed heavy fines on those
known to have left town to escape
jury duty, and threatened that he
would have others, who had made ex-
cuses for not appearing, brought to
the bar by carbineers,
The day was taken up in an attempt
to fill the jury benches. 1t was a
nervous day in Vitebro. The residents,
who had hailed the approaching trial
because It would bring to town stran-
gers who must be sheltered and fed,
have found themselves confronted
with an alarming situation.
No one familiar with the workings
of the beautiful reformed society"
has anything but sympathy for those
who shrink from the civic duty i'm
posed. Nevertheless, progress was
made and all but four of the neces-
sary jurors were obtained

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT DECIDES
NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA
USELESS.
ULTlMATUM Is PRESENTED
SIaV Army Moving Toward Frontier
Japs Active in Manchuria-Some
Hope United States Will
Interfere.

Pekin, Mar. 1G.-The Russian min
lister, M. Korostovetz, delivered Rus
sias ultimatum to the Chinese foreign
board. 1t caused much surprise among
the officials, who seemed not to re
alize the gravity of the crisis.
NJ. Korostoyetz, last week for the
second time requested permission on
behalf of his government to establish
observation stations along the Amur
and elsewhere on the frontier He
also desired to place doctors and po-
lice in Chinese border towns to effec-
lively quarantine the frontier
China views this as an infringement
on her integrity, and the Russian min.
lister was notified that a reply would
be given soon. In the meantime M.
KorostOvetz was requested to obtain
further explanations from st. Peters
burg regarding the nature of the pro
posals whereupon the Russian govern
ment decided there was no further use
Of parleying.
Various Questions to Be Settled.
1t is expected here that the Rus.
slams win settle many outstanding
questions, among them the plague
quarantine, disputed frontier the pro.
lection of the railroad from Hung Use,
as we'll as trade, consular and differ
ences in connection with the treaty
of 1881.
1t is pointed out that for many
weeks the press throughout Asiatic
Russia has been supporting the desire
Of the military annexation of Mon
golia and nothern Manchuria, but the
Chinese foreign board does not antici-
pate, a serious Intervention.
Some of the Chinese express the
hope that The United States will inter
fere and propose arbitration, but the
representatives of the foreign govern
ments do not believe the American
government win take part in any OF
these controversies, except when actu
al American rights and interested are
affected.
