CHICAGO, September .24.-Baby
Julian Tafel found mercy today in
death. '.+
The fate he had fed since birth
and once escaped-last night stopped
the heart that kept his malformed
body alive for six days Of harried
existence.
1t was = painless end, the kind Of
mercy death" his father had hoped
for. against his mothers wishes.
Starvation had been decreed by a
"bottomless" colon, and from the
start the father favored letting ma
ture take its course"
The mothers pleas won out, and an
operation on Tuesday stayed of
death. But the child was doomed.
No Chance From Start.
He had no chance from the begin
ming, 1t was disclosed by an autopsy,
performed two hours after three ply
sicians gave up the battle at the
baby's oxygen tent. Had he not died
of uremic poisoning from the opera
ton, a necessary secondary operation
would have killed him, they declared.
Not only was the large intestine in

During the last stages OF the night
to save the baby's life, when the doc

by his childs crib. He whispered:

That was at 7:55 pm. (E. s. T)
The father stepped out the door. and
the baby's heart stopped beating. For
IS minutes three physicians worked In
vain over the infant to bring back life
When DR.. Kinny broke the news to

EMERGENCY SERVICE TO ALASKA

AS this newspaper predicted from the outset gov
eminent operation of ships TO Alaska was sure to
result if the opposing sides in the maritime strike
did get together on some sort of temporary basis
to the Territory Now that step has been taken
and we in Alaska again be thankful that have
officials in Alaska who conversant with prob
lens and a real friend IN the White House
What actually has happened is that President
Roosevelt in reply to pleas from Gov. John w Troy
and Delegate Anthony J. Dinord has exercised the
power granted under Che Alaska Railroad Act to
charter and operate ships to feed the government
owned railroad. Which simply means that ships can
ply from the STATES 10 Seward with supplies, taking
in all points in Southeast and Southwest Alaska.
Under the executive order Of the President full au-
thorty is granted Secretary of Interior Harold L.
1ckes to operate vessels To the north long he
feels the emergency exists. He may use government
ships or he may charter such private ships he can
secure. The fu'l sources Of government are at his
command for operating ana manning the carriers
Indications are today that the service will start
almost Immediately, boat probably leaving Seattle
by Saturday at least the first of the week mes
sage received here from government source says the
service will start "in 9 day two
The action mas nothing directly to do with settle
ment of the strike. 1t is purely public service
service, have previously mentioned to the pub
lie which must viii be served
Alaskans will he glad to note that the President
did not go off to South America as it may have ap-
peared to some without any thought for how we were
going to live in the meantime

Horoscope
"The stars incline
but do not compel
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1886


According to astrology this is an
uncertain day in planetary direction
with adverse aspects apparently
dominating.
The morning is suspicious for
constructive work. 1t stimulates
engineers, architects, contractors
and ironworkers with great energy.
The stars appear to presage intense
activity through the winter.
The configuration is promising
to men and women who depend
much upon their physical strength
in forwarding their careers. Ath-
letes should profit in the next few
months.
Women are fairly fortunate under
this rule of the stars which aids
them in helping themselves and
m kes them self-reliant. They
should be attractive to men while
the configuration continues.
Aranus is in place believed to TO-
ment unrest and discomfort. The
inclination to believe the worst will
be apparent in both public and pri-
vate affairs.
Education now will be discussed
with a view to guiding youth to-
ward vocational training, but the
question of military drills in schools
and colleges may obscure the prin-
cipal issue.
Surprising trends in business may
be expected as the year ends. The
stock market may fluctuate amaz-
ingly, but speculative trading will
be widespread
Girls now should take stock of
their manners, for fashion is chang
ing as the pendulum slowly swings
away from the standard of liberty
and license.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of many inter
ests and warning is given that con-
ccntration will contribute to sue
cess even in social matters.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be endowed with strong
intellects and outstanding talents.
Many subjects of this sign shine in
public life or in conspicuous posi-
lions.
Walter Evans Edge. Senator and
diplomat, was born on this day
1874 Others who have celebrated
it is a birthday include Arthur
Guiterman, poet, 1871; Patrick JOS

A Thought for Today
Hold Up the Exodus

Labor day is customarily the time for the exodus of the summer vacationists. New England annually waves a fond good-bye to thousands of tourists and Vis- itors at this time of the year, We wonder if 1886 will be just bit different It should be, for visitors to New England are beginning to find out and to realize that despite the beauty and the many attrac- tions of this section of the country during June, July and August, there arc equally as many and just as fine ones in Septem- Der and october. So halt that exodus, friend.
 Families with children necessarily must depart our midst due to the customary opening of the school season immediate. ly after Labor day. That is to be expected But there arc thousands of summer Vis- itors who could easily remain here for an- other week or ten days and who would DC so much pleased with New England after the summer rush Is over that they might in the future prefer 1t in september ana October to any other time Of the year.
 We seldom experience such cold in either of those two months that discom- fort is caused. As a rule the nights grow a bit chilly, but in the days there Is al- ways bright sunshine. Statistics show that during September and October there are more days of sunlight than during July and August. All sports, even swim ming may be enjoyed And these two months bring the harvest. New England in harvest season is worth visiting for countless reasons. One that might prove an inducement is the fact that after La Dor day tourists rates are inclined to drop. Come to New England in the summer, folks, but don't leave when Labor day rolls around.
