THE BABE AGAIN TAKEN FROM;
HOSPITAL AND LAID AT A DoOP
Desperate Efforts of a Mother 10 Conceal Her
shams---Bslisvsd to Belong to Promi-
nent Family.
Especial to News and Observer

u
Wilmington, N. c., Dec 3.-The tiny
female infant, scarce day old which
was reported in this correspondence Sat
urday as having been spirited away from
the James Walker Memorial Hospital and
laid at the door of a prominent citizen
and subsequently, returned to it's young
mother who refused to disclose her real
identity, was again taken from the hos
pital night before last and laid at the
door of Rev. Geo B. Webster, Method
list minister. The police were appraised
of the inhuman conduct of the young
mother and the child was returned again
to her with the instruction that unless
the babe is cared for by her an arrest
will follow
The mystery of the whole affair is the
identity of the young woman, who per-
sists in giving fictitious names. 1t is be-
lieved, however that she is member
of prominent family from one of the up
per counties and is making a desperate
effort to conceal her sham .eShe came
to the hospital alone and entered one
of the pay wards.
One or two patients in the institution
say that they know the young woman s
name but they, too, refuse TO disclose
her identity and dismiss the subject with
the remark that her family know of her
whereabouts and are meeting all the hos
pital fees.
The question with the authorities, how
ever. is to put an end to the inhuman
treatment of the infant and the trouble
and modification it is giving those at
whose residences the basket with its hui
man freight is being left 1t is said to-
day that the hospital management may
take hand in the investigation and If
so. some highly sensational developments
are looked for.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c. the only remedy universal
ly known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity
all these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds, perhaps. but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption where there is difficult eX-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing like
German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in
the civilized world.

Attorney Generals Decision Will Affect

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Post. to-
morrow, will say: The case of Rear
Admiral Schley is now being consd-
cred by the attorney general for the
purpose of discovering whether there
was any illegality in connection with
the court of inquiry. II is understood
that at the recent conference between
the President and Rear Admiral Schley
the latter pointed out some alleged vio-
lations of law i'm regard to the court
and these matters have been deemed
worthy of examination.
The attorney general is not to pass
upon the merits of the case, but will
deal solely with its legal phase. If he
shall find that the court was properly
constituted. that the precept was le-
gally drawn and that the rules of law
We're followed as to the evidence. it will
then be within the province of the
President to consider the case upon its
merits.
If the attorney general decides that
there We're illegalities as claimed by
Admiral Schley. the verdict of the
court is vitiated. 1t is understood that
