He as: s his brother Frank, aged 8, in pre- | paring his lessons in arithmetic, geos- raphy and spelling, but does not go to school himself because he is too small. Baby Norman's powers of comprehen- sion and retention are marvelous in one so voung. Nothing, it seems, escapes his notice. He is always asking the why and wherefore of everything that comes within the range of his senses. He talked and spelied before he commenced to walk, which was when he reached his second birthday. Little Norman has received no special instructions in an educational way. On the contrary, his parents have sought to discourage the precocity of their ehild, for fear that he might over- tax bis mental faculties. Since the infant prodigy was able to sit alone his constant playthings have been alphabetical blocks presented to him by 3 his grandma. With these he is inces- santly making combinations of words he has seen. Given but a glance at the head- ings in a paper, Baby Norman will in- variably, with his blocks, set them up without an error. He has a hobby of ob- serving the names on delivery wagons, store windows and biilboard signs and raraly makes a2 mistake in spelling them entire, even though he has noticed them but once. When asked to spell words like “longi- tudinal,” ‘“‘assassination” and others of similar length, the tiny mental never hesitates, but spélls them quickly, apparently by sound and unconsclously. When he secures a paper Baby Norman | pores over it from the editorial to the lost and found columns, pronouncing the most difficult words with an ease that is phenomenal. Hle is an adept in arith- metic and the feats he performs with fig- ures evince no great effort on his part. Little Norman was born in a seaport of I'rance on board of the American ship Marion Chilcott, of which his father was master. He rounded Cape Horn when 3 months old and has been in many of the principal ports of the world. It was in Adelaide, Australia, that Baby Norman first stepped upon terra firma. He was then nearly 3 years old. When he was taken back to the vessel he surprised all those on board by spelling a long list of names an& words that he had seen on stores and walls. Mrs. Weeden attributes the remarkable faculty her son has for spelling to the fact that while the child was at sea his chief amusement was playing with and composing words out of his A, B, C blocks. When the Marion Chilcott ar- rived in San Francisco some months ago, Captain Weeden with his family took a cottage here. He left for New York a few days ago to bring a new.steamer around to this side of the continent. I 2 e e e e ] papers found on his person it is sypposed | he at 160 Golden Gate avenue. Death may have been from natural causes, 85 no trace of violence was dis- covered. —_————————— Leather-Workers’ Picnic.

Recently several crimes have been reported on the desert division, but as vet no arrests have been made. The robbers wear masks and use weapons in enforcing their demands. The latest hold-up occurred at Corrine, Utah. Two masked men held up seven- teen laborers, robbing them of their money and valuables. The two men first entered a box car in which were two la- borers, and thrusting the muzzles of re- volvers under their noses relieved them of their money and what valuables they possessed.

DENVER, April 2.—A special to th News from Colorado Springs, Colo., Rumors are current in this city to-night that on May 1 the Colorado Midland road will pass into the control of the Rock Island. A few days ago the Rock Island officials went over the Midland road in a private car. In the party were a number of en- gineers, who stopped off at several points eglong the line and made surveys. For the past week large gangs have been en- gaged In relaying portions of the track with heavy steel, while others have been doing extensive grading with a view of removing_unnecessary curves and steep grades. In the Colorado Midland shops to-night it is reported among the men that the capacity of the shops is to be doubled immediately. Tt is also stated that while all the Eastern roads have been giving their through freight busi- ness to the Rio Grande, the Rock Island has lately been giving all the business to the Midland. th which the entrance was | CUBA WILL BE GIVEN A FORM OF RECIPROCITY Senator Allison Speaks of the Action Congress Is Likely to Take.

He was in doubt as to the exact [form which legislation for the island would finally assume. Senator Allison sald: | “Some form of reciprocity will un- doubtedly be granted to the island at this !spss!nn of Congress, but what that form | will be no man knows at this juncture.

Corporation Forestalls Con- templated Demands of Its Emyployes. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 2. The Oakland Transit Consolidated Street | Car Company to-day announced a general in‘(rca.se in wages of the men on its sys- {tem from 21 cents an hour to 24 cents. ithe increase to go into effect on May 1. This action was voluntary on the part of the company. While no demands have been made by the men upon the corpora- | tion, 1t is practically certain that with i the success of the men in San Francisco ! similar demands would have been made | upon the Oakland Transit in this city. | The Oakland ‘I'ransit took time by the | forelock, and rather than have any ue- | mands or. strikes placed the scale of wages higher than has ever been paid in i Oakland, and at a rate that the Oakland {ccmpany feels is as high as the more llm- |ited travel in Oakland will warrant. As I ny demands Mave been made by the men |and the rumors of demands are quite in- efinite and not very certain, it is unlike- {1y that there will be any trouble upon the { Oakland lines, The men in Oakland have {none of the obnoxious rules to combat | that caused the original trouble between Manager Vining and the men in San Francisco. i The Amalgamated Association of Street | Railway Employes, which is conducting the strike in San Francisco, does not ex- ist in Oakland, though the street car men | on this side of the bay are far better or- | ganized than the men in San Francisco | ever were. For six years there has been {in Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley a | purely local organization, known as the Carmen’s Social and Benevolent Society, and this organization comprises practi- cally every street car employe on this | side of the bay. It has maintained the best of relations between the men and the companies. The society has been recognized by the Oakland Transit, though the men on the Telegraph and San Pablo avenue systems never joined urntil those lines fell into the hands of the Ozkland Transit. The Transit Company has always assisted the annual ball that is given by this organization, so that tha position in Oakland is very different from that in San Francisco. The men say that_they have no com- plaint unless it wasthat of wages, and the ! Oakland Transit has forestalled any de- | mands. in this line. Had it not made these concessions the company would a very short time. | The Oakland Transit also announces a the men to Haywards Park, at the end of the Haywards line. The dates will be an- nounced later. The company proposes to furnish the cars, music and entertain- ment for the men and their families. The order announcing the increase in pay to the men reads: To Motormen and Conductors: One year ago, on the first of May, we considered that the conditions warranted an increase of wages and accordingly the present rate was announced. Bince that date we have been pleased to note that you bave been careful and diligent in the disckarge of your duties, undisturbed by the clamor of agitators or the strife of others. Another May first is now near, and in appre- clation of the I faithful men who have operated our cars sKilifully &nd cowscientious- 1y, we take pleasure in advising you that on and after May 1 all motormen and conductors will be pald at the rate of 24 cents per hour. Trusting and believing that each and ail of you will take a personal interest in the faith- ful discharge of his duties, to the end that it may be a pleazant and prosperous year for us all, and with cordial good wishes for your per- sonal syccess in your respective dutles, we re- main, very truly, OAKLAND TRANSIT CONSOLIDATED, W.

BLOWN FROM HER YARD BY A NOME BLIZZARD Woman’s Frozen Body Is Found Four Hundred Yards From Her Dywelling. SEATTLE, April 26.—A woman whose name is given as Mrs. Kraus, was blown eway in one of the January blizzards in the region of Nome, and three hours la- ter her mangled and frozen body was found several hundred yards from her house. Mrs. Kraus lived with her hus- band, a miner, at Kougarik City. On the 16th of January she was stopping at Val- lentine & Mallaby's roadhouse. when a terrible wind storm came on. The stovepipe leading from the roof had been somewhat shaky and Mrs. Kraus stepped out of doors to see If it was like- 1y to go down before the blast. She was missed from the house shortly afterward and a search was begun. Three hours later her body was found on the ice of a little lake fully 400 yards from the house. The body was still slight- ly warm, but efforts at resuscitation fafled. Mrs. Kraus was 45 years old. Nome ad- vices do mot contain her husband’s given name or place of former residence. YOUNG DOCTOR FAILS ’ TO GET PARTNER'S MONEY KANSAS CITY, April 26.—Tn the Circuit Court here to-day it was held that Dr. Leon Rosenwald, aged 28, was not entitled to the estate of his late partner, Dr. Charles W. Adams, valued at between $60,000 and $75,000. Adams was an eccen- tric old physician. When he dled, aged 65, he left no will or no known heirs. Dr. Rosenwald brought suit to secure the en- tire estate, contending that Dr. Addms had verbally promised him that if the (Rosenwald) would become his’ partner and care for him in time of sickness he should have all his property at his death. Adams, whose real name was Charles Weisner, were finally found In California and they laid claim to the estate. Al- though to-day’s decision does not‘estab- lish the right of the California heirs, it brings them many steps nearer to the possession of the estate.

Supreme Court Denies Dono= hue’s Demand for Release From County Jail Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 26 In affirming the decision of Judge Hall to-day in the case of Peter B. Donohue, who was committed to jail for contempt for refusing to answer questions during the taking of his deposition, the Suprema Court decides a question that -has been :gitating the legal minds of the State ever since the question of the jurisdiction of certain officers of the court was raised when attempts were made to take the deposition of G. B. Daniels in the Collins- quirer suit. The decision, in fact, has an important meaning for the parties in the Enquirer suit, for it means that they will have to inswer questions now whether they want | to or not, as it lies in the powers of Su- erfor Judges, at least, to enforce at- endance and answers to questions. Tho cislon of Chief Justice Beatty of the preme Court says that Judges of the -uperior Court exercise the same judicial sowers when taking depositions as they {0 when sitting as courts of law. They an subpena witnesses and enforce an- wers to questions under threat of impris- mment for contempt. Whether the decision means that Court “ommissioners are clothed with the sam judicial functions as Judges is left an pen question still, as that matter was aot touched upon. In the cases of no- taries public, however, the Supreme Court has decided that they have merely min- isterial powers, and the decision may ap- ply to the jurisdiction of Court Commis- sioners. It was contended in the Collins- Enquirer suit that the Court Commis- sioner has only ministerial powers. Donohue’s refusal to answer questions vesterday in deposition before Judge Hall was according to agreement to test the mooted question. Judge Hall sent him 0 jail for contempt and his attorneys went to the Supreme Court to get him out on habeas corpus. Justice Beatty was the only Justice sit- ting in the case, and he decided, after lis- tening to the arguments of Attorney Bos- ley for the plaintiff and Attorneys Creed and Webb for the defense, that Judges of the Superior Caurts have judicial pow- ers while taking a deposition. He then denied the writ of habeas corpus, thereby afirming the decision of Judge Hall Donohue was released from custody ifter spending the night in the County jail upon promising Judge Hail that he would answer questions when he appears {0 make his deposition next Thursday. —_———— Licensed to Marry.

PALMA IS WILLING BUT FUNDS ARE LACKING Vast Sum of Money Due the Cubaa Soldiers Startles the Presi- dent. HAVANA, April 2.—Generals Rabi, Lora, Solsedo and Capote have tried to obtain from President-elect Palma an as- surance that the Cuban army would bs paid. Replying to the genmerals, Senor Palma said he was disposed to pay the army, but to do so more resources would be needed than Cuba now has. He never suspected, he said, that the list of those to be paid contained 70,000 names, and the estimate of the amount due the soldiers— $80,000,000—frightened him. “The payment of this enormous sum would annihilate us. I would have to lease Cuba to raise this amount,” said he. Senor Palma’'s idea was to revise the lists and to negotiate a loan of $10,000,000, providing for the interest by a sinking fund as outlined in the constitution. He expressed regret at the fact that no pro- vision had been made to pension the widows of war heroes, mentioning par- ticularly the widows of Generals Maceo and Martl. He proposed also to do some- thing for those injured in the war. Elaborate preparations are being made in Havana for the three days’ festival at- tending the inauguration of the new Cu=~ ban republic. Confirmations by the Senate.
