MURDERED HER BABE.
Mrs. Peters, Probably Insane, Says
Demons Came for 1t

New York, Aug. 5.-Mrs. Sophia Peters
was arrested yesterday in Tarrytown,
charged with the murder of her baby.
The body of the child had been found
the day before In a peddler's wagon.
In prison Mrs. Peters raved as one mad
She said that during Wednesday night a
loud clap of thunder awakened her and
that she suddenly became convinced that
the flashes of lightning, which continued
for several hours, were demons that had
come for her child. She said she heard
a voice calling outside the window for
her child. She went TO the window and
tossed the baby to the strange spirit, who
with ii. How the body of
the child came TO be in the peddler's cart
is mystery.
Mrs Peters is probably insane.

There was an excellent stock market
yesterday. There was some hesitancy in
the first hour, and some selling, but the
professional element, which made this
movement, was caught neatly by the
strength of the later prices. After II
o'clock there was almost a continuous
advance to the best prices yet in many
issues. There appears to be an indication
chat a substantial advance is coming.
The immediate prospect of peace is not,
perhaps, as bright as 1t was two days
ago 1t is not certain now, as 1t seemed
on Thursday, that Spain will accept
the American terms today. Ye:, few
doubt that the end of the war is not far
distant.

London was a seller yesterday, for some
unknown reason. With this influence
there was, as said before, an effort of
the professional element to put down
the market by hammering the indus
trials. The indus strials went off for a
time but the remainder of the market
would not follow them Then the manip-
ulators gave up the game, and the trust
stocks went up with the remainder of
the issues. Sugar closed at the highest

when these principles are fully recog-
nized and accepted, then those who de-
sire to give of their wealth for the pur-
pose of making life and the crisis of
death easier and sweeter for some por-
tion of the human family will add to the
endowments of existing institutions
which meet their approval; or will found
and endow others according to their own
ideas of right and necessity, making the
provision for them complete instead of
organizing each a separate charity and
leaving 1t to struggle forever on the rag
ged edge of a precarious existence, per-
forming in an inefficient, half-hearted
manner some small part of the intention
of its founder.
Then, too, the Government will con-
centrate the resources which 1t is proper
should be devoted to charitable purposes
on the care of those who are not offered
protection by private institutions; such
as the insane epileptics and feeble-mind

demand assistance and for whom private
provision Is wanting or is insufficient
Thus will both public and private chari-
ties find their best development. Thus
will the humane sentiment OF any COM
munity find double expression; first, in
private beneficence, and second in the
enactment of such laws as may from time
to time be required to meet conditions
constantly presenting new needs.
I'm this view of the case is it not pos
sible to regard those who oppose the sub
sidy system not as destroyers of private
charities and common enemies cf man
Kind but as something quite different?''
