MURDERESS HANGED.

Mrs. Annie Dyer. Slayer of Forty Babies,
Executed In London.
London, June 11.-Mrs. Annie Dyer,
the baby farmer, who was arrested on
April on the charge Of numbering
many infants intTusted to her care, was
hanged in Newgate prison at nine
o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mrs Dyer was one Of the most extraordi-
nary criminals of the age. wholesale, cold
blooded niurderess. The police first be-
came suspicious of her and her son-in-law
Arthur F. Palmer, early il April. when the
bodies of a number Of children. apparently
strangled to death, were recovered from
the River Thames, where they had been
thrown, weighted down with bricks, etc
An investigation led to the arrest of Mrs.
Dyer and Palmer. Letters found in the
house showed that many Of the parents
with whom she and her accomplice had
dealings were aware of the fate intended
for the infants. These letters were from
persons in all ranks of society. The prelim-
mary examination developed most horri-
flying condition of affairs 1t was proved
that since Christmas at least 70 children
had been intrusted to Mrs. Dyer's keeping.
and of this number only four were then
living A conservative estimate places the
number of children killed at 40, but other
estimates have Ii as many as 100 infants
were either strangled or drowned by Mrs
Dyer. On May q Mrs. Dyer was indicted
for murder and on the following day she
was sentenced to death. In prison she made
several attempts to commit suicide. At
Reading she tried to strange herself with
her shoelaces. Some time later she tried to
force a handkerchief down her throat, and

the largest audience Pittsburgh has

expressed that the hall would prove
too large for the occasion, but had its
capacity been increased by one-half, it

the music-loving throng which sought
entrance. Many hundreds were turned

jured in peculiar manner recently. A

Did you ever think what a strange
letter 8 is? 1t is a serpent in disguise.
L.sten-you can hear 1t hiss. 1t is tile
wizard of the alphabet. 1t gives pos
session and multiplies indefinitely by
it's touch. 1t changes n tree into trees
aud a house into houses. Sometimes 1t
is very spiteful. and will change pet
into a pest, n pear into spear. word
into a sword and laughter into slaugh-
ter, and 1t will make hot shot at any
time.
Farmers have to watch 1t closely. 1t
will make scorn of his corn and re-
ducs every peck to a speck. Soms-
times he finds 1t useful. If he needs
more room for his stock 1t will change
a table into a stable for him, and II he
IL short of hay he can set out row Of
tacks. 1t will turn them into stacks.
He must be careful, however. and not
let his nails lie around loose. The ser
pent's breath will turn them into

about his farm work he need not buy
any coal or have water to run 1t. Let

The team will turr. to steam.
II you ever get hurt, call the serpent
to your aid. Instantly your pain will

Boy. Who became Famous.


Nearly all boys and girls show IN
some way at some time what they are
to become when they grow into man
hood and womanhood.
A Swedish boy fell out Of window
and was severely hurt. but with elsnch-
ed lips he kept back the cry Of pain.
The King Gustavus Adolphus, who saw
the fall, prophesled that that boy would
make a man for an emergency; and
30 he did, for he became the famous
Gen. Bauer.
A woman fell OF the dock In Italy.
She was fat and frightened. No one
Of the crowd Of men dared to jump
in after her; but boy struck the water
almost as soon as she. and managed to
keep her up until stronger arms got
hold of her. everybody said the boy
was very daring. very kind, very quick,
but also very reckless, for he might
have been drowned. The boy wns Gar
a baldi, and II you will read his life
you will find these were just his traits
all through-that he was 20 alert that
nobody could tell when he would make
an attack with his red-shlrted soldiers;
40 indiscreet sometimes as to make his
fellow-patriots wish he was In Guinea,
but also 30 brave and magnanimous
that all the world, except tyrants, loved
to hear and talk about him.
A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color and painted the white
side of his fathers cottage in Tyroi
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mountaineers gazed at as wonderful.
He was the great artist, Titan.
