THAT BABY Case.
The Mother and Charles Buchanan
Arraigned
BEFORE MAYOR SHIPMAN, AT MAR
TINS FERRY, YESTERDAY, AND
A FINE OF S25 IMPOSED ON EACH.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE

Minre Buchanan, mother Of the baby
which has been attracting so much at
tention at Martins Ferry and this city,
and Charles Buchanan, the man who
left the baby upon the steps of the Ed
wards home, were arraigned before
Mayor Shipman at Martins Ferry yes
terday afternoon, the former on the
charge of abandoning the child, and
the latter as an accomplice. They were
fined $25 and costs each, which the
man in the case paid. Upon paying
the fines he gave the girl large roll
Of money and told her to get place for
the baby and then go home. He also
told her that he wanted to see her in
Cleveland about the first of the year,
and be ready to get married.
With the exception of finding a home
for the baby this, the end Of a mys-
terry that gave evidence Of battling the
authorities.
In its solution the police OF
Martins Ferry add fresh laurels
to their crown. 1t was only
by hard and persistent work
and with the aid of Chief Bennett, of
Wheeling, that they succeeded in land
ing the parties named above Marshal
Lindemuth and Officer Brown especial
ly, deserve great credit for untiring
energy in working on the case, which
seemed almost without head or tail
when taken up.
The woman's story as told Marshal
Lindemuth is about the same as that
published in part in yesterdays Regis
ter. She is about nineteen or twenty
years of age, fairly good looking, and
well dressed. Her manners are refin-
ed, and in fact her general makeup
gives proof of a girl who has been
forced down to her present condition
by the circumstances surrounding her
case. She does not want to keep the
child as she says she is unable to pro-
vide for it, and also because when she
married she could not ask the man who
married her to care for a child born
under the existing conditions.
She will be held by the authorities
until she or some one else secures
a home for her offspring, which at
present seems very nafd matter 10 &c.
Circumstances alter cases is an old
saying which seems to be true in this
case. From what could be learned it
seems as though Buchanan intended
to take the baby to Bellaire and leave
it there some place but owing to the
lateness of the hour saw that it would
be impossible to take the child to Bel
laire before it was daylight, so he
brought it to Martins Ferry.
He left it on the step and
waiting until it was discov-
cred, then leaving. He has been
over once or twice since leaving it, to
see how it was prospecting as he prom
ised the mother that he would see that
it was we'll taken care Of
A queer tale of how the authorities
came to find the childs mother was go
ing the rounds yesterday, but it was
without foundation.

'TWIxT YOU AND M e.

II see that the oyster men are high
ly successful in freeing the beds of
star fish.
AT one time the star fish threatened
to exterminate the oyster, If / remem-
ber rightly.
Various expedients to kill out the
star fish and save the oysters failed
but the simple plan of dredging all
about the beds and scooping up the
star fish in a net seems to work ia
mously.
Il remember an assemblyman some
years ago, who wanted law passed TO
prohibit the star fish from attacking
the oysters.
After good deal OF consideration
of the matter the legislature decided
that If such bill We're passed the star
fish might not see fit to obey the law.
SO the measure failed.
Il see that the Journal Is beginning
to devote little bit OF its editorial
space and interest to 'local mention" :"
Which is very kind of 1t I am sure.

THE STRAIGHT.HAiRED GIRL.

Some one of the oracles whose mis-
select a husband, and 20 warn young
men against feminine wiles, has re-
Gently set up a new guide post for
matrimony.
Marry a girl with straight hair"
says the oracle. THE chances. are tina;
her ways are as straight as her locks.
while the heart Of tho curly headed
girl is as full of twists and quirks as
her hair"
The theory is expounded at some
length If all men will but be guided
by this sibylline voice. the day of the
straight haired girl is close at hand.
She needs compensation. For years
she has fought an unequal fight
against her sister OF the curly locks.
and her temper has been worn thread
bare, all on account OF her hair. What
chance has a straight-haired girl on a
windy day. Her hair is struggling i'm
frantic wisps over her collar and her
ears She looks untidv. disreputable:
and all the time the curly-haired girl
is becoming more and more bewitch-
ing. Her stray locks crisp and curl and
flutter nufTily round her face. and she
smiles i'm serene consciousness that the
wind is quite powerless against her.
when rainy days come the straight
haired girl sighs dolefully. and looks
limp and detected, in spite Of swell
clothes. Hot days have the same de-
pressing effect upon her hair and spir-
it's. Sea bathing has. NO charms for her.
Even golf can't be TO her what IL Is to
the champion with curly hair. But II
straight hair IL to be a certificate OF
eligibility Tor matrimony there Will be
balm for all these wounds.-The sun.

STAYING HOME FROn SCHOOL

"I'm not going TO school this morn
ing" says little Susan Gratebar, and
Mamma Gratebar, indulgent ever.
makes no objection. for the rain is fall
ing very heavily, the sky is dark, the
wind northeast-a rainy day.
And so "A ieisurely breakfast for little
Susan; a glance at the clock now and
then as the school hour approaches,
and a sense OF pleasure as it passes
and leaves her here at home instead of
finding her in her accustomed place at
school. For this is a break i'm the rou-
tine a relief from school and studies
a novelty; for home to her in these un-
accustomed hours seems strange, jusG
az to any of us any familiar thing win
seem strange when seen in any othes
than its familiar relation to other
things.
And Susan reads and plays games
with her little brother, and walks about
the house. and finally gets little tired
of il all, as any of us would, for we all,
old and young, need for our welfare
some regular employment; TO have, as
the saying is. our minds occupied. And
presently little Susan gets interested
in the weather: there's a thin place in
the clouds, as there often Is even on
the rainiest of days, and by her COM
parison the sky lightens up a good
deal. Then Susan says 10 her mother;
do you think it's going to clear OFF,
But Mrs. Gratebar. older than Susan
and wiser i'm the weather as in other
things. says she hardly thinks SO yet.
and sure enough ten minutes later it
has shut in blacker than ever and the
rains falls more and more heavily.
And so it goes, the whole day long-s
rainy day and Susan doesn't go to
school at all. She stays in the house
and il gets pretty irksome before
nghtfall.
But some time in the night the wind
changes and comes out from the north
west. The storm has passed. the sun
shines brightly. and little Susan is w
and off to school bright and early and
glad to go.--The Sun.
