Penniless and unable to work, "Uncle" Preston Foster, a century old, and his wife, "Aunt" Mary, only a few years younger, left the home of the people with whom they have been staying and returned to their halfburned, roofless cottage across the second bridge in Happy Hollow. "We couldn't stand being cursed and dogged that way any lunger," explained "Aunt" Mary. The aged couple slept in a room, the walls of which are black, where the disastrous fire of February burned them out. Blankets and rugs are stuffed in the the holes above their heads. Through the kindness of some friends, the Fosters have enough blankets for their one bed. "I was once the best slave horseplater and blacksmith there was, they told me," said "Uncle" Preston Foster.

WHAT WESTERNERS THINK OF PILOT The following clipping from the Montrose (Colo.) Press gives an idea of a westerner's impression of the Pilot car, manufactured in this city. "Tuesday afternoon in company with four companions, Mr. Hogges, who recently received a Pilot car from the Richmond, Ind., factory, took the car out for a trial spin. This was his statement on his return: 'It was the individual verdict of the members of the party that they had never ridden in such an easy car before. When we were passing telephone poles at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour the vibration was so faint that one scarcely knew that he was moving and this was equally true when the speed was opened up to forty-five miles an hour.

After I plated Longfellow on Staten Island, before I got my apron off, some of the finest sporting men of the country gave me $20 and $10 bills. That was a $4,000 race, and there were 2,000 men there. I had lots of money in those days, and now I haven't got a penny to my name." "Uncle" Preston likes to have company, although he can see only the outlines of their forms. He is almost totally blind, and when he fell last February trying to rescue his wife from the fire, he crushed bones in his shoulder that have never entirely healed. 13 KILLED EXPLOSION BY LEASED WIRE DETROIT, May 15 Thirteen workmen are known to be dead and it is feared that perhaps a score are buried in the wreckage of the works of the Mexican Rubber company as the result of an explosion this morning.

FIND "BABY FARM

II III CHICAGO RAID Police Search for Two Women Harboring Three Sickly Mites. BY LEASED WIRE CHICAGO, May 15. Warrants for two women, one a member of a well to do family, were issued today following a raid on an alleged "baby farm" located in the heart of the aristocratic Woodlawn section of the South side. The raid which was made by policemen and officers of the Juvenile court disclosed a condition almost unbelievable they declared. Dr. Thomas J. Balhatchett, accused by the police of running the "farm" and Mrs. Anna Mills, an elderly woman, who took charge of the children, it was said, were arrested, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a child. In court today, the case against both was continued until May 19. Officers were at once sent out to search for the two women named in the warrants issued this morning. According to the police both were the mothers of two of the suffering little babies found at the "farm." Both were charged with abandoning an Infant under one year of age. Find Three Mites. Three mites of humanity, the eldest eighteen months, were found at the "baby farm." The form of one, "Jacob," was cold in death, the victim of whooping cough. The other two, one eighteen and the other sixteen months old, were also suffering from the disease. They were rushed to a hospital where physicians declared their condition was critical. Dr. Balhatchett's arrest resulted from a statement made to the police by Mrs. Mills when the raid was made. "It was on June 1 that Dr. Balhatchett handed Jacob to me," said the woman. "The baby was in a shoe box." " 'What's its name," I asked. It has no name; the kid will be dead in a little while anyway,' the doctor replied. "Dr. Balhatchett brought me four cases in all. One of the babies died some time ago." HAVER'S JBIG. SLUSH OBJECT OF PROBE BY LEASED WIRE1 WASHINGTON, May 15. Campaign contributions constitute the next New Haven tangle which Solicitor Folk and interstate commerce commission will attempt to unravel. Mr, Folk anao,uncedf. .that he is going to the bottom of the political situation in New England in which the New York, New Haven and Hartford was most active in making political friends. "Aside from the $1,200,000 slush fund which the New Haven raised to give aid and comfort to judgeB, police officials and aldermen whom it is believed, were in a position to grease the ways for the launching of the Westchester enterprise, an operation which involved thirteen franchise amendments, the railroad also donated freely to campaign coffers," said Mr. Folk. "It is interesting to note that the New Haven played no favorite on its own hook. It backed up fortune's favorites by always getting on the winning side. If the Democrats were the stronger in Connecticut one year than the Republicans, the New Haven contributed to the Democrats. And should the Republicans loom up the stronger in Massachusetts the same course would be pursued. In this way, the railroad had friends in both camps throughout New England. Give Big Sums. "We don't know just how much these campaign contributions amounted to, but the impression we get from dipping in around the edges is that they ran into robust figures." Governor Folk is trying today to obtain the names of those who served on the board of aldermen in New York City during the periods in which he is interested, and also of those judges, police officials and other municipal authorities who, he thinks, may have been connected with the New Haven. "We do not care who is hit or who it hurts," said Mr. Folk. "We are going to make a clean sweep right through the city hall and all the other public buildings and take the men we want." Charles S. Mellen left Washington today for New Haven, Conn. Before leaving he told Governor Folk that he will have to go through his New Haven and New York residences from cellar to garret, and then visit his country place at Stockbridge. Out there, he said, he has trunks, tool boxes, seachests and other receptacles jammed full of papers relating to the New Ha ven railroad.

(Special With the close of the winter season business men of this little city have had an opportunity to review the progress of last year, and to congratulate themselves on a very successful season in every respect. The permanent population of the town has more than doubled, the surrounding country showing an even greater ratio of increase. A electric light plant furnishing satisfactory commercial and domestic service and good street lights, is firmly established. The ice plant started in late winter is running smoothly and not only serving the needs of the town, but shipping to near-by points, having established warehouses at convenient locations. Hotel accommodations have improved, the latest addition to the list being the Hotel Patterson. It is understood that Northern capitalists are seriously considering building a fine modern hotel to meet a rapidly approaching necessity for increased accommodations. Business houses of various lines have been established and are flourishing. Work on the drainage system has progressed rapidly, many thousands of acres being now ready for cultivation north, south and west of Fellsmere, with a large area to be made available during the summer. Fellsmere tomatoes are moving daily in car lots, and commanding a good market price. Overtime is the rule at the packing houses, which present a scene of hustling activity every day. Beans, eggplant and peppers have been shipped steadily since last fall, with tempting profits to growers. Funk & Miller. 205 Second National Bank building, Richmond.
