Frank J. Carney became indisposed (
yesterday and went to his home for a
rest and treatment;, it is nothing ser
ious and he will soon be all right.
There was some apprehension lest
he should have to forgo his duties as
head (and foster-father) of the As
toria Baby Show, But he will be ot
hand and in his usual prime shape
for dispatching the functions of his
office. The babies would be the most
disappointed of all citizens, Ji it
should be otherwise; they expect him

will be pandemonium indeed, next

Her Sad Death-

eph L. Kline, died at an early hour
yesterday morning at St. Mary' hos
pital, where she had gone several
days before to submit to an operation.
Her death seems very sad. While it

event of her not surviving the ordeal

The funeral will be held this morning
at 7:45 q'clock, at the home at 524
