THE LATEST ACHIEVEMENT or THE SERVANT
GIRL-At 1929 Filbert street live john Jacoby
and his wife. the parents OF little girl OF four
years. They had living with them for about
TWO years an llish servant girl named Mary
Campbell. in whom they placed the most i'm
plicit confidence, and whose affection for the
child was believed TO be beyond doubt GA last
Friday week Mrs. JacOby was called TO her
mother at Bordentoyn. by the news that she
was suddenly taken sick, and on Tuesday the
old lady's condition was so bad that Mr.. Jacoby
was autographed for and obeyed leaving the
house and child In charge OF Mary Campbell.
On Thursday at noon Mr.. and Mrs Jaroby re-
turned hcme and found The girl aud child away
and although they did not return that night
tie parents were not alarmed, as they believed
Mary had visited some OF her relatives or
friends and stayed until morning. on Friday
morning Mrs. Jacoby, however discovered a
note under the table cover ia which Mary fn-
formed her that she had taken the Child TO the
Chtldren's Asylum or the Philadelphia aims
that she did not believe the parents intended
coming home. OF course IL was not long before
the little girl was found and brought home
From inquiry at the above house II appears that
on WedI 6sday afternoon woman brought the
child 10 the almshousA. stating that It's mother
and father had separated, and that the father
was very sick and unable TO take care OF n. and
as the child had been. she said taken from the
almshouse year before. and she was unable 10
support il, the father had asked her TO return
tie child TO the Children's Asylum.-PiHataeI-
