A DESERTED BABE.
A Mysterious Female Leaves an Infant
ut u south Side Hotel.

Yesterday morning just before noon, a
young woman called at Renner's Hotel, stu.
ated on the west side OF the Fifth Ward Mar
ket square. She was good looking, her COM
plexion being fresh and rosy, aud her de-
meanor was modest. She was OF medium
height, with wealth OF light brown hair
coiled neatly about her head, and she wore
Bordeaux cashmere costume with bat to
match, In her arms, wrapped in large
shawl, she carried tiny girl baby, apparent-
ly about four weeks old. She inquired IS TO
lie rates, said she would eat dinner first and
then talk about securing room for two
weeks. She ate her dinner and then went
up TO the sitting room. Shortly afterwards
Mrs. Renner had occasion to visit the room,
and found the baby lying in a
big chair before the fire fast asleep.
The shawl was gone and beside
the baby In the chair was silver quarter OF
dollar. The baby was dressed In few plain
slips; there was no card or mark to indicate
whose It was or where 1t came from. Soon
after Il woke up aud proved 10 be q very
bright child. At dark the young woman had
not returned and there is no doubt that she
has deserted what, in all probability, Is her
Legitimate offspring. Those who saw her
Yesterday say that she was stranger to
them and that she was very pretty. Mrs
Renner proposes to keep the child to-day and
see II IL is called for or II any one wants TO
adopt It. II not It will be sent 10 the Poor
Farm or ChildrenS Home.
