CLOSE BABY CAMP
Hospital in Rock Creek Park
Due to Suspend Wednesday
Unless Aid Comes.

The Baby Hospital Camp in Rock
Creek Park will suspend Wednesday,
lnless financial assistance is forthcom-
ing before that day.
Those in charge hope the nineteen
labies now teing cared for will find
-uffcient friends in the District to
enable the camp to remain in operation
until September !.
Camp officials says donation of funds
now means the prolonging of life to
some of these frail infants, whose
mothers are too poor to give them the
roper attention. Some of the "kiddies"
IRE almost well, due to the attention
hey have been given at the summer
camp, but others are still in a precari-
GUS condition, and the nurses say they
should not be returned to their alley
and tenement homes until, the summer
is over.
Contributions for the Baby Hospital
Camp may be forwarded to the Asso-
ciated Charities.
Next Saturday, If the camp remains
open, will be the last Navy Yard"
day. This means il will be the last
occasion on which the employees of the
Navy Yard will furnish entertainment
and dainties to the "kiddies" and their
mothers

LOCKED IN TIME VAULT.
Clerk in Philadelphia Faces Suffoca-
ton in Vault.

Facing death by suffocation, Will
liam Taylor, an employee of the Unit
ed States Mint, at Philadelphia was
rescued late Thursday afternoon from
one of the money vaults in the base
ment of the mint, where he had been
accidentally caught by the sudden
swinging of the doors.
The vault is built of steel and con-
crete. 1t is of the automatic time
clock variety, but it could be opened
from the inside by one who had the
combination. Taylor was caught
about 4 O'clock The employees Of
the mint were about getting ready to
quit work and were busy placing
money within the steel and concrete
lined walls when suddenly the doors
closed on Taylor.
Plans were suggested for drilling
holes through the side of the vault.
This was attempted but the drills in
most instances broke. Meanwhile
one of the workmen who had been
engaged on the front of the safe
shouted that his drill had taken hold.
In a short time the drill reached the
interior of the vault.
Taylor's voice could be family
heard. The rescuers tried to shout
through the small hole for him to
keep up courage. Then Chief Clerk
Norris came along with the COM
bination and it was passed through
the hole on slip of paper Taylor
soon had the vault open.

ELEVEN NIGHTS IN SNOW.
Remarkable Fortitude Shown by a
Maine Horse.

A remarkable instance of animal
fortitude is the case of a horse owned
by a resident of South Berwick
Maine, that was found alive after be-
ing lost for II days in big snow
storm.
The animal had been driven to
Great Falls, n. H., and the parties
started home about midnight, but
they got tipped out of the sleigh and
the horse ran off, For ! nights no
trace of him could be found and it
was supposed he had died in the
storm somewhere On the 18th day
a hunter found the horse in a snow
drift on a crossroad between South
Berwick and Dover.
The reins and sleigh were frozen
so solidly into the snow that the
horse could not extricate himself.
The hunter, seeing the animal alive,
drew near to the poor Least and cut
him loose, at which he manifested
the greatest pleasure anc slowly fol-
lowed his deliverer to Dover.
How the animal lived through the
storm and cold and hunger is GER
tainly a wonder. The hunter, how
ever, says the horse lived on the elder
bushes near him. He also asserts
that since the check rein prevented
the horse from eating snow, he
would put his foot down into the
drift and then hold it up and lap
off the snow.
The contrast when tile horse was
placed beside his mate in the stable
was a painful one. The animals
mouth was very sore from eating
twigs and bushes and his general
haggard appearance was suggestive
of Quixote's angular steed of ancient
fiction. philadelphia Enquirer. r..
