ANOTHER CHILD MISSING.
MysteriOusIy Disappears From u
Picnfcking Party Near Hartford.

MysteriOusly Disappears From
Picnicl>ing Party Near Hartford.
Hartford, Conn. June 5.-The police of
New Britain and this city together with
many searching parties of men and boys
have been diligently and vigorously hunt
ing all last night and all today for some
trace of fve-year- old Annie Eschholz the
daughter of former Councilman Hermann
Eschholz, baker, of New Park Avenue, in
this city. The little girl mysteriously dis
appeared yesterday afternoon while at
Doerr's Mountain Grove, on the Shuttle
Meadow road, on the outskirts of New
Britain. II is the opinion of many that
the child has been kidnapped, and the
father, who is almost distracted by grief,
has offered a reward of $3.50 for the return
of his child.
Mrs Eschholz died about three months
ago and yesterday the father drove out
with his favorite child to the grove to
spend the day with several families pic
nicking there, The children enjoyed them
selves playing, and late IN the afternoon
| were eating peanuts. There were several
| children together and that was the last
| time Mr.. Eschholz noticed the child. 1t
was here that Annie's disappearance was
| first noticed. Her father was Immediately
notified and was greatly surprised for it
was scarcely twenty minutes since he had
seen her and. though there were over 100
people at the grove none seemed to have
noticed where the child went search
| ing party was Immediately formed of
thirty men, who were soon augmented by
others, and the neighboring woods and
| bushes were diligently searched without
| avail. Boys on bicycles searched the
nearby roads and other parties tramped
over the hills and down in the gullies
until a late hour without being rewarded
by any clew. The child's hat was found
| in the grove near where the party was
picncking.
A gypsy camp in the vicinity of the pic
mic grounds was under suspicion at one
time, but some of the searchers went there
and came away quite confident the child
was not with them. One of the party this
evening declared that today there seemed
to be one less wagon in the camp, and that
looked a bit suspicious to him. It could
not be ascertained whether any of the gyp-
sizes had gone away. The missing child
may have strayed away and been found by
some one who is holding her for safe keep
ing, but the theory which is gaining most
credence is that she has been kidnapped.

s1reet-cnr Conductors.

The fluent Ella Wheeler Wilcox has been
delivering a discourse on the impoliteness
of street car conductors. and their favorite
injunction to Step lively, there" She
resents this method of instruction and
thinks that the conductors need reforming.
Washington is in a position to speak
disinterestedly upon this matter, because
the street car conductors here are most
obliging and courteous body of men. 1t is
rare, indeed that even the most touchy and
sensitive person finds occasion to quarrel
with their politeness and patience, al
though. some two years ago, a certain
querulous old gentleman of the United
States Senate did threaten to thrash a
conductor for being so far impressed with
this passengers senility as to offer TO help
him mount the steps of the car. Such
| churlish rejection of well-meant assist
ance, happily. is rare in Washington.
But it is different in Manhattan, the
place about which Mrs. Wilcox is writing
The conductors in that city are apt to
regard the street car as their castle and
the passengers as their menials, whom
they can order about as they like There

and If he is not making all haste. it will
not make him more inclined to hurry to
receive a command to do 1t. OF course. there
are women who, after hailing a car, will
stand in the street fer several minutes,
exchanging good-bys. while irate passen-
gers make remarks. But in that case the
conductors remedy is very simple; he can

them. and then do it. He is not required
