The Body of Murdered Infant

New York. March Another baby.
which had been strangled to death and its
body abandoned was found in this city
yesterday. and the police are as ignorant
OF who committed the crime as they are
in the case OF each OF the score of in
rants' bodies which have been found in
! the last few weeks.

Men were working on scOw No. l., Of
the street cleaning department. at pier
a. foot Of Rutgers Street. early yester-
day morning. when Silvestre Destoe. of
No. Pa Hester Street. startled his com

scrambling from the scow. He pointed to
where he had been sorting the rubbish
and there his companions saw the dead
body OF a child not more than a week
old.
Policeman John J. GiliEan, Of the Madi-
son Street station. took the body to the
station. The coroner's Office was notified
and the body was sent 10 the morgue.
Dr. O'Hanlon found the body TO be that

meath the left jaWbone he found crescent
shaped marks, resembling impressions
made by finger nails Of a hand that had
strangled the child. These marks were
very distinct. and the abrasion of the skin
could be seen on the little throat where
the nails had torn it. There were five
small Commissions on that part Of the body.

organs congcsted. That IS an absolute

alive Tor some DAYS. The marks under
the left jaw and on the throat were so
grouped that they resembled the i'm

Efforts viii be made to learn where the
child was originally abandoned. 1t is
thought this may be discovered through
the street cleaning department, whose
employees can tell from what portion Of
the city the rubbish was obtained that

More than a score Of dead babies have
been found abandoned i'm doorways and
vacant lots in the upper part Of the city
during the last few weeks. and the police
believe they were from baby farm in
that section. The authorities are still
completely in the dark as to the identity
of the persons responsible for the DISPOSE

WOMHNS HONOR
In BUSINESS
Facts Refuting Charges of
Lack of Responsibility.
Many of the Center Sex Who Con-
trast Very Favorahly with Men
Under Similar Circumstances.

One hears so much in these days about
the responsibility OF women. their un-
businesslike methods in business matters
and their disregard Of the value of time
that IL is truly refreshing to discover
facts which tend TO refute these charges
There exists in connection with one OF
the leading colleges for women a society
formed for the purpose of lending pecu-
mary aid to needy students. Its loans
are tc be paid at the convenience of the
borrower and without interest There is
in fact, says the New York Tribune. only
moral obligation to repay them at all.
young woman who was graduated
from the college some eighteen months
ago had received moderate loans, aggre-
eating in all 500. She at once began 20
work on a salary, and has already paid
back into the society's treasury the full
amount of her Indebtedness. without re-
ceiving any intimation from her official
creditors that speedy payment was de-
sired A delicate sense of honor WAS
shown when the official to whom her pay
ments were made suggested that her eff
forts might be somewhat relaxed as the
CHRISTMAS season approached. The re-
ply was quick and decisive:
Il hope you do not think that / would
make Christmas presents while in debt
That would give pleasure neither to me
nor TO the friends who might receive re-
membranes purchased with money which
was not myown."
When she was congratulated on the fine
feeling thus expressed, quick as a fash
came the rejoinder:
Not fine feeling at all, but common
honesty"

THE FEAST OF PURIM.
Hebrews VIII Celebrate the Con-
fusion OF Hannah the Agarite.

Hebrews all over the city will begin
the Feast of Purim tomorrow, in cele-
bration of the overcoming of their an
Gent enemy, Haman, the son of Hamme-
datha, the Agagite. 1t is a day Of
thanksgiving and gifts, it is a celebra-
ton of the escape from the plots of Ha-
man, who cast the "Pur'' or lot, to de-
stroy the Hebrews of olden times.
Among the orthodox Jews the feast
will be celebrated with all its old Gus
toms and traditions. 1t is celebrated
among the Hebrews in the weather.
districts by giving gifts to charitable in
stitutions. The proceeds from the an
nual Purim bail are sent to some char
ity. In orthodox circles, however, Ha-
man, the Agagite, is severely punished.
The younger generation take sticks and
rattles to the synagogue, and when the
reader comes to the name of the hated
Hannah the pews are belabored. The
enemy receives his punishment every
time a reference is made to him in the
services. Some of the youngsters even
go so far as to have firecrackers ready
to salute the name of the son of Hamme-
datna.
Book dealers today are selling many
miniature rolls of the Book of Esther.
Members of the synagogues use these
rolls i'm following the words of the read
ing. The younger members are thus able
TO have raps for Mordecai promptly on
time.
Hannah is forgotten later in the day,
however, and all becomes jollity and mer-
riment. The Hebrews send gifts to each
other, and cordial greetings are heard
everywhere.
In the evening there is a Supper, which
includes many delcacies The dessert
is composed of three-cornered cakes. filled
with honey and poppy seeds. The mother
of the family stays home to prepare the
feast. When the family returns the faith
er reads to the mother from the scroll.
The feast cannot proceed until she has
listened TO the Hebrew words which tell
of the confounding of the wicked AEagite.
Charity is seen everywhere Before the
synagogues and i'm the courtyards behind
them will be seen scores of beggars. for
tomorrow the Hebrews give aims TO all
who are in need.

MARRIAGES IN INDIA.
Two Ceremonies Necessary, the
First During Infancy.

The inhabitants of Southern India have
peculiar marriage customs, according 10
DR.. Brock, the German explorer. There
are always two marriage ceremonies, he
says. one taking place when the betroth-
ed ones are mere infants. and the other
when the bridegroom takes his wife 10 his
own home. At the infant marriage rites
two brothers Of the boy place him on
an elephant and take him around to give
him a glimpse of the city where he and
his bride are to live, and a the same time
the girls mother is doing her share by
singing to the little one n marriage song
At the final marriage the mother-in- law
leads the young husband by the nose into
a room, where his friends and relatives
are awaiting him, and, amid the loud
noise of tomtoms, the shTill whistle of
pipes. and the roaring Of trumpets. the
bride enters. unveiled. She gives the men
present an opportunity to gaze at her.
because in future no man but her hus-
band may look at her face Should this
rule be broken at any time, her husband
must commit suicide and she must be
burned on a funeral pyre before the sin
is blotted out.
The bride is placed in 4 basket during
the Brahmin marriage ceremony. and
