STRANGLING THE BABES,
ROys i'm New York AS Agents for the
Murderess.


To the list of babies numbering about
two-score who have been murdered mys-
teriously in this city within three months
another was added yesterday. Like many
of the other victims this one plainly was
choked to death. The body. that of an in
fant two days old. was found in a court
yard at the rear of No. 2is Seventh Ave
nue.. In addition to the marks on the
throat betokening the work of a stranger
a wad of cotton was stuffed in the mouth
evidently with the purpose of making
sure that the little one should do no
breathing, by any chance.
The body was found wrapped in rags
by Mrs. Kate Bailey the janitress. short
ly after daybreak. She informed the po-
lice, and Detectives Green and Farley. of
the Central Office. were assigned to inves-
tigate.
Last night they brought a prisoner to
the West Tbirtieth S rect Police Sta
ton. They maintained the greatest Sc
crecy about him. Sergt. DAILY. in charge
of the station. was requested to put tn =
prisoner in cell When this was done
the detectives left the station house.
From other sources it was learned that
two boys were being shadowed by the
detectives Inc boys admitted to some
one. who impaired this information TO
the police. that they had been asked
for what consideration they would stran-
gle a child. One of the boys said he
would do the job for dollar, but the
other would accept nothing less than five
dollars. Probably the boys will be ar
rested.
As to the other baby victims of
strangers. the police have obtained no
clew suggesting the identity of the cul-
prits. The information obtained concern
ing the ghastly find of yesterday. ana
the arres. of one suspect, however, are
regarded by the police as important. and
the hope is entertained that a possible
key has been supplied at last to this
mystery of the strangled babes.

The trouble with the average man IS that
he has not the least conception of the
causes of ill-health or the right way to go
about remedying them. A little indigestion
or biliousness in themselves are not serious
complaints, but If neglected they may de-
velop into almost any disease in the medi-

recall the infectious humor of Will Vests
tramp character, Ezekial Pipes, and be
pleased to learn that he will be seen in
the same part again this season. Mr..
West has elaborated the role considera-
bly,, and is said to have made it even
more humorous than 1t was last season.
Although he has several new and very
taking ballads it seems to be impossible
for him to get through an evening with
out singing his well-known beer song.
For three years he has been giving this.
and determined this season to shelve 1T:
but wherever he has been, the demand
has been so great that in addition to
his new pieces he is said to have been
obliged to give at least one verse of
peer, Beer, Glorious Beer. ''The Daz-
zler" will be seen at the Grand Opera
House next week.

Trojan, it requiring the combined
efforts Of Sheriff Barr and Under
Sheriff Steward to handle him. He
was finally landed in a wagon and
taken to the city calaboose. The
description of Thomas says he is
S feet 10 inches in height, IS years
old, weighs $50 pounds, sandy
complexion, red sandy hair and
mustachc and very freckled face,
neck and hands. The man answers
the description to dot, and he is
wanted in Topeka for murder
committed May 4, 1898. The Of
ficers at Topeka have been noti-
fed. The prisoner is without
doubt the man wanted. When
being loaded on the wagon he
made bad crack for a man who
had been accused of no serious
crime, saying, "Well, boys, III

the growing interest in Rev. Mar

it was the finest of its kind ever

and not an auditor present but
what appreciated it to the fullest
extent. He delivers a lecture to
women only on next Sunday after
noon on the subject, "Womanhood

weather was anything but pleas

circulation before the end of the

and extend the system along that
alley as far as the Columbian high

natures of two-thirds of the prop
