that local benefcenee societies have been

more than probable that steps will be taken

The claim is made that the babies are sold

go to the pen, pick out the baby that suits

baby is yours. The parentage of the child

At a very early period of her life she

officers of the Legion of Honor, and stu

nations qualifying her for the humble
career of governess. But she was not to

In 1850 she had the good or i'll fortune to

Mystery.

The Sequel to the De Frame Murder
Mystery.
The De Frame murder mystery" which
occasioned so much agitation in Reading,
Pa, in the summer of 1899, was recently
solved by the unexpected reappearance of
benjamin de Frame himself the man sup
posed to have been murdered. De Frame
was a small tenant farmer in District town
ship. On the night OF November s, 1889, he
arose from his bed, ana telling his wife that
he he ard strange noises in the barn and
must 90 and look t-r the stock there, wen t
out and did not return. His wife knew that
her husband was involved in some embar-
RAISING money transactions. and thought
that he had gone away to ESCAPE trouble
One of the Deigl bUrs, however, declared
that he heard cries and gunsh0tS that night
coming from the direction of De Frames
barn, and many people beheved that
the missing farmer had met with
foul play. This belief was still further
strengthened when, in June, 1890. farm

A POLICEMAN'S LUCK.


Officer Langlers Called on to Wed a
Dying Girl With Money.
Policeman Benjamin Langers of Chicago
secured leave of absence three weeks ago,
as he said, to look after some business,
and as he did not report for duty at the
proper time, his superior officers made an
Investigation.
The result brings out an extraordinary
story. Miss Maria Gavin, living at III West
jackson street, had realized some months
ago that consumption had made such in-
roads upon her system that she had only a
few weeks to live. She owned $1,000 worth
OF property, and as she was on unfriendly
terms with all her relatives except her aunt.
she determined that none but her aunt
should benefit by her demise.
She sought George McAulffe, sexton of
St Joseph's Church. and later Policeman
Langlers and William Adams and asked
each in turn to marry her, that he might in
herit her property. Each one accepted her
offer, but in every instance she was pre-
vented from carrying out her wish by
Father Cushman, who rebuked the men for
own way Miss Gavin then sent for law
yer, who drew up will leaving Officer
Langlers $4,000, and $4,000 to the Little
Sisters OF the Poor, on condition that when
her aunt grew feeble that they care for her.
This done the woman's strength failed rap
idly, and December 9th she died.
The relatives, on hearing of the will, de.
clared their intention to contest it, and the
taking of steps to that end resulted in
knowledge of the story. Miss Gavin OBJ
