told without hesitation when ex

acquainted, he said, with a case where
a child died under the charge of Mrs.
Abbott, and from the autopsy it was
shown that the child died of neglect
and insufficient feeding.
lhe dead bodies of thirty children,
Dr. Draper said, have been found
within a radius of three quarters of a

all have borne traces of starvation.
From evidences on the bodies he had

were traceable to the premises ot Mrs.

POTATOES ARE SCARCE.
San Francisco Will Soon Be Re

San Francisco, Jan. 12. There is

special train of twenty car load is en
route from Chicago, having left that
city over the Santa Fe yesterday.
The Southern Pacific company will,
in the next few days, move about 100
car loads of potatoes, chiefly over the
Southern route where the frost will
not injure them. Oue of the princi
pal causes of the present large west
bound shipments of potatoes is the
new tariff which went into effect Fri
day last.

have hitherto been higher than the
West bound tariff. The new rates arc

mSCOVEKIES IX OLD EGYPT.
Amelia It. Edwards Begins a Series
of Lectures at Cooper I'nion.
Amelia B. Edwtrds, a pleasant,
gray-haired woman, who is well known
as an expIoyerJol ounea r-zypt, iec
tured recently in the. great hall of
Cooper Institute-, Psew lork. It was
the first of a series of lectures that
Miss Edwards will deliver in that hall
under the auspices of Columbia Col
lege. Her subject waa "The Explorer
in Ancient Egypt," and an immense
audience listened to her. Professor
Drisler, the acting president of Co
lumbia College, iutroduced her, and
Seth . Low, the president-elect of
the. college, sat in one of the front
seats.
Not only did Miss Edwards enter
tain and inttrnct her audience with
descriptions of the many important
discoveries made of late years in
Egypt, but she vividly described some
of the experiences that explorers have
to undergo. Her story waa nnely
illustrated, by atereopticon pictures.
lhe principal enemy of Egyptian
explorers is the Arab thief, who strips
bimseU naked, anoints nimselt until
he is as slippery as an eel, and then
glides into a tent and seizes everything
portable. .Miss Edward s story of tne
recent explorations in Bubastis waa
particularly interesting, because there
were discovered many relics of the
Ciblicol Pharaohs. Among them
were statues, and s fragments ,'of
statues, of the Pharaoh of the
Israelite oppression, Rameses II, and
of 'Btataes appropriated by him, be
cause, as Miss Edwards said, he was
"one of the greatest forgers in the
world," and used to ?arve his name,
or his son's nains, on statues of
monarchs who antedated him by a
trifle of a thousand years. The legs
of a colossal statue of Ra-I-an, written
by the Arabs "Rayyan," the Pharaoh
under whom Joseph served as Prime
Minister, were also exhibited on the
screen. Tbis fragment is one of the
latest found in Egyptian exploration,
and has attracted a great deal of at
tention among scholars and antiquar
ians.) Sore Care for I.s Grippe.
There are a great many cases of
bad colds in our city, and not a few
think it to be the Russian ailment.
The best thing the people of Al
bany can do to prevent being taken
down with tbis terrible la grippe is
to use nothing but the best grocer
ies, fine poultry and other delica
cies, to be found at the Willamette
Packing Co.'s at the lowest possi

THE EARTH GETTING LARGER.
A Theory Which Indicates That We
Are Becoming Younger.
American Geologist.
The earth traveling in it orbii
around the sun and onward witb
the entire . solar ay stem around
some unknown and still greater
center of attraction, is constantly
traversing new regions of space,
which it depletes of meteoric dust
and meteorites, thus steadily no
matter how slowly increasing in
diameter. Xow let this growth
continue till the earth has just
twice the attractive power which it
now possesses ; we would then have
twice the number of meteorites and
double the quantity of dust falling
annually upon it now. Fortunate
ly for our heads the earth has not
as yet attained very formidable
dimensions, but we may look upon
it as an established fact that it
constantly gains in weight, and
that in propoition to such gains its
attractive power steadily increases.
The attractive force of the sun is so
enormous that a perpetual hail of
meteorite and a torrent of dust par
ticles must rush upon it from all
directions, and some of the foremost
observers are of thefopinion that
these falling bodies are tne sole
cause of the sun's heat. In the
light of this theory onr earth is a
young and growing, not an old and
dying planet, a planet with a future
whicn ought to be cheerful news to
all of us, although we will not live
to reap the benefit of it; and the
sun, far from being on its last legs
as an expiring lusiinary, is steadily
gaining in beat and lighting cap-
acitv.
LEATHER GLOVES.
OT AVhat They Are Made Technical
Terms injthe Trade.
Men's outfitter.
There arc several tcims in the
glove trade that may be worth
explaining. The word '-kid" really
means kid leather, and there can be
little doubt that the better grades
of what purport to be such are
made of the cuticle of the infant
gaat. About twice a year some
newspaper revives the old yarn
that kid gloves are made of ratskin
and tells how the rats are hunted
for that purpose in tin. sewers of
Paris, The only fouudation there
is for the story is that some yeara
ago, experiments were tried with
ratskins. The result were unfavor
able, the largest skins oeing too
small for auy but a child's glove,
and the pelt too tender to be of any
service. "Chevrcf.t," a term used
to distinguish me gloves of a
dressy character far street wear,
is both French and English and
has several meanings. It is from
"chevre," a goac, and wc are josti
fied in expecting a chevrettc glove
to be of young goat skin in dis
tinction from the heavy goat gloves
used for rough work. Great pro
gress has been made, however, in
tanning sheep and lamb skins in
recent years, and they are now
rendered so elegant and so durable
as to be practical! v indistinguish
able from goat leather in looks or
wear. Lntu witniu a lew years
'dogskin gloves" were always
made of lamb or goat skio, never
of the real canine cuticle. Lately,
however, the difficulties of dressing
have been overcome and now '
excellent gloves are made of real
dog skin, though the quantity is
not very large, only tne nner grades
of skins arc suited to street wear,
the heavier skiLB being dressed in
oil for hard usage.

man, as he walked into the hardware
store, "can you tell me where I can

"1 guess we can order one tor yon.
air, said tne Baler man wno met mm
at the door. His face expressed sur
prise, but his tone conveyed assurance.
' 'Can yon get one that'll work
automatically one tht you won't
have to grind yourself, but can fix it
all up and let it go of its own accord;-'
' "I think we can arrange an attach
ment that will accomplish that -result."
"All right; get it as quick as you
can,- will yon!"
"You want it as a sort of amanuen
sis, I suppose."
"No; ray wife has gone out of town.
I find that when I get home at night
everything is so kind of solemn and
still that I can't stand it. So I
thought if I could get a phonograph
and haye the hired girl talk into it
for about three-quarters of an hour
something about its being a) nice time
of night for a self-respecting married
man to be getting home, and all t'aat
sort of thing I would set it before I
went to bed and succeed in getting te
sleep. It's funny how a man will
miss these old familiar sounds."
