ANOTHER YELLOW FAKE.
No Trace Can BE Found of a Baby
Farm i'm North Hudson.


A specimen of the inaccurate and reck-
less stories which are published daily in
some of the New York evening papers
appeared today in the New York Even
ing Journal" 1t is one of series Wnlch
the paper has been publishing for the past
few days about an alleged notorious
baby farm located someWn mere IN ~ Neirn ~ T.,
Hudson where a wholesale murder OF IN
fants is going on. The writer OF the taie
brings into play every township IN the
northern part of the county and adds:-
.AThe police have thoroughly secured
every nrecinct in the hope of securing
some tangible clew leading to the appre-
hension of the perpetrators OF the mon-
strous crimes, but their efforts haye an
been in vain. The authorities IN all the
towns aided in the endeavOrS to locate tne
baby farm whence the innocent little
ones were taken only to be throttled ana
their bodies left in secluded spots, Wnere
they were found by the merest accident. :,
From the fact that the bodleS OF al
the infants found bore the same evidence
of the work of one stranger, 1t would
seem that the keeper of the ,baDy Iarms
on the Jersey shore did thriving pusi-
ness"
Readers of .sThe News will remember
that as matter of fact there was only
one baby's body found that bore evidence
of having met with foul play. This was
picked up on Sunday morning in band
box in Shippen street, at the top of the
steps which run down the hillside into
lower Weehawken. Upon examining the
body DR.. Converse discovered marks on
the neck indicating that the infant had
probably been strangled. The physician
Stated that the child had been killed
shortly after birth. Since the discovery
the police have been working on the case,
but have found no clue to solve the mys-
terry.
In the bandbox in which the body was
discovered was piece of mans linen
shirt bearing the laundry mark of IS,
1857" A search has been made of all
the laundries in the township but no
shirts with the above mark have as yet
been found.

make things warm for the Police Com

and communication was sent to the
Fire Commissioners requesting them to

NO INCREASE OF LETTER CARRIERS
Letter From Washington Thai Ap-
prOpriations Are Exhansted.

Postmaster Jordan is not going to ask
the Postmaster General for any appro-
priation for an increase of letter carriers
because the Postmasters of Newark and
Hoboken, who lately did SO, received this
reply
Sir-It appears by the statements
forwarded to this office by you recent
1y that your carriers, many of them,
are unable to serve the routes eff
GENTLY and satisfactorily within eight
hours AS you have been frequently
informed by letters and orders from
the department, overtime cannot be-
tolerated under any circumstances. If,
after careful personal investigation,
you find the districts are too large, and
that it is impossible for the carriers to
render good service, you will cut off
some of the outlying territory from the
routes where necessary, or reduce the
number of deliveries and collections in
order to bring the time of the carriers
within eight hours
The appropriation for the mainten-
ance of free delivery service during
the current fiscal year is nearly over
drawn, and no additional carriers can
be allowed any offices during the ball
ance of the year.
Very respectfully,

driving him nearly mad for want Of
sleep
Then one day Corbyn made discov-
cry. It was only boil, the result Of
mango eating.
The Phoongyes were in despair.
just about that time Hpo Thit walked
into his bungalow one day and, bump
ing his forehead on the floor. begged
Valentyne's forgiveness for wounding
him. He had served his time and was
going away. If he remained in Burma,
they would kill him for stealing the
Beda, SO he was going to some other
country.
And that was the last anybody ever
saw Of Hpo Thit in Burma.
Three years more Of playing Buddha
at the rate of 10, 600 rupees year passed,
and this time there could be no mistake
about it, so Corbyn said. The ruby was
! coming not far from the place where
! the boil had been. In fact, it was the
irritation of the Beda that had most
! likely caused the boil.
It was the same old thing over again
-tamtams, and poays, and presents,
and much praying, and the working Of
charms to keep the Nahts away-only
stronger than before. for they were
sure of it this time.
Corbyn could take his fingers and
push it about under the skin, and the
grim, butternut colored faces Of the
Phoongyes relaxed when they realized
how close they were to getting the
heaven sent relic.
Even the officials were pleased
pleased with VALENTINE, pleased with
themselves and with the way they had
managed the affair. The Phoongyes
would have their ruby back again, and
Valentyne would have done we'll out of
the deal. In fact, he might be reinstat-
ed in the service if this spirit Of Bud
! cha were cast out of him.
The chief commissioner graciously
extended his patronage to the extract
ing of the stone.
Apart from all this it had great
surgical interest. All the medical fra
ternity in Rangoon asked valentyne's
permission to be present. In fact, if he
had chosen to charge an admission fee
Of two rupees q head he might have
had his compound filled at that price
the day Corbyn summoned the Phoon-
eyes to be preasat to take delivery Of
the ruby.
Everything was in readiness. The
archbishop had brought sacred dish
that was supposed to have at one time
belonged to Buddha Guadama, to re-
ceive the Beda in.
Valentyne's back was barred. Corbyn
made an incision with his scalpel,
pressed gently with the forefnger Of
his right hand downward, and in Sec
ond something lay in his left hand.
He gave it little rinse IN q bowl Of
warm water he had ready and neld il
up to the ezpectant gaze Of the many
craning heads.
It was piece Of oblong lead-a slug.
Hpo Thit had lied, that was all, and
had the ruby away with him-at least
it was never found.
