So many babies have come into the hands of the Baby Home and Juvenile Court of late that the attendants are wondering where to put them all. There are upwards of 50 babies in the home now. and during the last ten days the Juvenile Court has been called on to dispose of three. The last was brought into court by Mrs. Martin Wes son, who said that a man called at her home two weeks ago bringing a bright, black-eyed baby 6 weeks old, and saying that if she would care for it he would pay her $5 a week. He said he wanted to visit it every day. and that he was from San Francisco. Mrs. "Wasson took the child, but the man has not been heard from since. An order admitting the child to the home was made by Judge Ganten bein. It was only temporary, however, as the court thought that the man, supposedV ly the father, might be sick and unable to visit his young son. It develops that he first went to Mrs. Sitton, matron of the Baby Home, and asked her to care for the child, but that the home was so full no more infants could be cared for, and she referred him to Mrs. Wasson. The latter feels, however, that she Is un able to care for the child without com pensation. Better Water Service Promised.

A-top isorxonia. noiei, music , a Curious Error Discovered During Transfer on Peninsula. One of the mos,t singular evidences of careless methods in the transference of real estate came to light a few days ago. Charles K. Henry & Son had negotiated the sale of a dairy farm on the Peninsula to the east of Woodlawn, belonging to Charles Francis Adams, of Boston, when examination of title brought to light the fact that patent to the land had never been recorded. It therefore became neces sary to send to the department at Wash ington to obtain a certified abstract of title from the Government to Gideon Mil lard and Antony Whlttaker, who had ob tained the original title in their donation land claim. When the duplicate record was received yesterday it was found that President Lincoln had signed one original document and that President Andrew Johnson had signed the other. One of the claims was granted in 1861. How It happens that so careful a busi ness man as the eminent Boston financier should not have discovered the flaw in the records is difficult to understand. The farm referred to contains 408 acres and is part of the donation land claim of which mention has been made. Mr. Henry' sold the farm to a local dairyman at. a figure withheld for the present. It is said to be the purchaser's intention to maintain a dairy on the farm. Henry & Son also closed a deal yes terday for a lot on Tenth street, near Everett, the transfer being made to the Mercantile Trust & Investment Company, acting as trustees for a church organiza tion. It is said to be the intention of the church trustees to erect a brick build ing on the lot. ICE DELIVERY CO. Phone Main 234. A 3245, A 3291. Strikebreakers Not Assailed. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. July 22.
