PAUPER DEAD AT MORGUE.
Babies Are Sent In Improvised Cof-
fins of Most Peculiar
Design,

Lie around a city morgue is full Of
singular incidents. The morgue is not
only the receptacle for bodies Of persons
who die under peculiar conditions and
persons found dead on shore or in the
river, but is the depository OF the pauper
dead.
The bodies OF people whose friends are
unable to give them decent interment
are sent to the morgue, as are the bodies
of little children.
The bodies OF babies are sent to the
morgue in grape baskets, clothes baskets,
delivery baskets, soap boxes and even
cigar boxes.
At present the body OF an infan. is
lying there in small slat basket.
One OF the most curious cases came
under the notice OF Deputy Coroner
Giles recently. The body OF small
baby was sent to the morgue in cigar
box. The improvised coffin was draped
with lace and tied with blue baby rib
bon.

famous In conversation with Miss
Reed In her dressing room after the last
guest had departed, she spoke of her
work aud OF how she enjoyed playing to
Wilmington audiences, except when the
small boys and some larger ones, too,
spoiled her pathetic scenes by that little
senseless twitter, so trying to her over
worked nerves.
1t was most difficult during this inter-
view to realize that this brilliant woman
whose whole thought seemed to Ee cen
tered in her effort to entertain her guest,
was the woman who played Camille
with all h'r temptations and sorrows,
Fanchetie Fontaine with her life devoted
to her work Of revenge, and all the other
equally trying roles Of her repertoire.
Ia Miss Reeds extensive wardrobe
we're a number OF elegant hand painted
satin gowns, designed and painted by
her mother, which she displayed with
pardonable pride. Next in her heart
came the imported creations, two OF
which she wore in "The Partisan Pfin-
GEES, one OF yellow silk poplin richly
embroidered with rhinestonee, and an
other OF blue duchesse satin elaborately
trimmed with point d'esprit and narrow
ribbon, with dashing touch Of charac-
ter in the shape Of huge black velvet
bow. Another imported gown Of old
rose silk and chiffon worn in one OF the
acts OF "The Prodigal Daughter" was
perhaps as handsome as any Of the
others, but did not hold the same place
in Miss Reeds heart as those painted
and designed by her mother.
Miss Reeds favorite is Camille" for
which she seems te have O stronger fancy
than any Of the others.
In her dressing room, still wearing the
magnificent green velvet gown which
she wore while receiving, Miss Reed APP
