GOOD MEASURE AND RUNNING OVER
Dootey's Yeast Po,oder has already taken the
precedent over others, from its well known
strength and purity; but aside from these facts
1t Is put up In cans holding the FULL WEIGHT
as represented, which is rarely the case with
those OF ordinary manufacture. Hence, Doolsy's
Yeast Potcder Is the best, purest, strongest and
cheapest ever offered to the consumer, and
eSarv one who has used it will readily testify TO
this assertion. For sale in quantities to suit hy
all good grocers.

The Alleged Child Murders

IL
MRS. GLENN.
This morning Judge Macarthur ordered a
writ OF habeas corpus to issue in the case of
MIS-. EtzaOeth Glenn, who was committed to
jail on Saturday last by the coroner, DIR. ID. @.
Patterson, after the verdict of a jury OF induest
on the body of an infant child found i'm east
WashlI gton, "that the said infant came to its
death between the hours Of and 5 O'Clock on
the 18th day of March, 1874, in South Carolins
avenue, between 9th and eth streets southeast,
by reason OF wilful abandonment on the part
OF ITS mother; and we further believe from the
evidence adduced that the mother is one Eliza
beth Glenn, (vhite)" The petition for the
writ states that Mrs. Glenn is confined uniustIv
las she apprehendsl for some criminal or sup
from which imprisonment your petitioner now
applies"
The petitioner was brought into court, Messrs
- H. Webb and Mills appearing for the petit
toner. The counsel called attention to the fact
that the jury did not find the child was that of
petitioner, but that they believed il to he her
child. The testimony taken before the coro-
ners jury was read, and the counsel urged that
the testimony was not conclusive.
The court said he could not interfere in this
case.thst II was case for the grand jury.
the court declined TO fix il.
Mrs Glenn was married about three years ago
10 William Glenn, a shoemaker by trade AMI
much younger than herself. Glenn left her the
day following the marriage, and has never seen
her since. At the time of his marriage be was
intoxicated, as he has since stated not knowing
what he was doing. The officiating clergyman
was Kew. Joseph p. Wilson. Glenn left for a
distant state where he has since married. He
Is represented as being handsome IN an, while
she is not very progressing in appearance.

d" She possesses wonderful dramatic talent. and
when she consents to appear in amateur the

scarcely recognize her. / have seen her carry

entirely altering her attitude, voice, and the
expression of her face, succeeding perfectly in
keeping mp the Illusion" To morrow night the
public will have An opportunity OF seeing for
