DEAD BODY OF A BABE.

Found in tho German Catholic Cemetery
Near Number Five, South Sidc-BOdy
Had Been Washcd-Casc In Coroncr's
Charge.
The body of a new born babe was
found yesterday in the German Catho-
lie cemetery, near No. 8, on the South
Side. From a cursory examination 1t
could not be positively stated whether
or not the child was stillborn. The
coroner was notified yesterday after
noon and may hold an inquest today
There are indications that the body is
of nine months growth. although its
size and weight do not show a growth
of over seven months.
The body was discovered yesterday
by a woman. who notified the South
Side police station. Lieutenant Zang,
Patrolman Schmidt and Undertaken
Miller visited the cemetery and found
the body wrapped in white cloth. 1t
had been washed clean. The features
seemed to have fully developed and a
growth of hair had started on the
scalp. There was no decomposition.
The body was brought to Undertaken
Millers'. on Cedar avenue. where it now
lies awaiting the coroner's decision
whether an investigation is needed or
not. There is no clue as to its parent
age. A woman carrying a bundle was
seen to enter the cemetery Thursday
and remain but short time. THE
theory that the bundle contained the
dead baby Is exploded by the fact that
he body was not decomposed when
foISd

before him in the audiences and he felt
sorry for that fact.
There Is no reason. he said. why
every young man In every district or
the union should not belong to the tenn
perance cause. The reason Is obvious
and self-evident, and he deprecated
vigorously the apathy of the women.
They, too, he said, ought to belong
to total abstinence societies, because no
persons suffer as they do from the
blight of intemperance. The women
should belong to the temperance cause,
not because they need the pledge. but
their influence and example In every
community would be power for good.
Ncary FavOrs Enthusiasm.
M. j. Neary, of Mayfield. advocated
of the union, the officers of the district,
and. in fact, the rank and file of the
societies. He urged the temperance
men to take a lesson of advice from
other organizations. NJ. F. Burke, of
Carbondale, thought that 1t would
boom the temperance cause If an in
surance feature were added to the con-
stitution, and bylaws In societies, he
said, where the members have to die to
win benefits, the members are more
attached to- the organization.
Miss Mary Barrett, of Carbondale,
presented an elaborate report of the
success of the st. Roses Ladies' Total
Abstinence society of Carbondale, for
which she was given vote of thanks.
James F. Judge spoke enthusiastically
on Ladies' temperance work. He am
nounced that Mrs. O. r. Lake, of st.
Louis, will be through the eastern
states soon and he would be pleased to
make arrangements for societies that
would like to have her lecture under
