CHASE FOR A BABY.

Mra Harlan Hollister, of New York, had an exciting chase across Nebraska recently in a special train, the object of pursuit being the fast express on the Union Pacific I,ailroad. which carried off her six months’ old baby, while Mrs Hollister was visiting friends in the next carriage. Mrs Hollister and the baby were going to Denver to join Mr Hollister. Mrs Hollister arrived on the early train from New York, and, laying the baby, which was sleeping, on*the seat, she went into the next car to visit some friends, knowing that her train was not to leave tor half an hour. Just before train time, she wanted to return to her own carriage, but found that it had been moved. She searched among the trains standing at the station, a;.J, not finding her car, hurried to the station officials. She then discovered that her carriage had been attached to the

Pacific express, and for half an hour had been flying towards San Francisco. The express is a through train, * and no scheduled train for the West could overtake it. The Union Pacific general officials were advised on the telephone that a special train was ordered for Mrs Hollister’s benefit. At Grand island, 15 miles west of Omaha, the special overtook the express, and Mrs Hollister rushedinto her old car, to find the baby still sleeping peacefully just where she had left it. The railroad made no charge for the special train, but as every newspaper in the country reported the directors’ philanthropy there has been no money wasted. The only occupants of the special as passengers. besides Mrs Hollister, comprised a corps of reporters, who have described the mother’s feelings with
