Baby Buried Alive.

Philadelphia. Pa, Aug. 1.-What the
police regard as an attempt to murder
6-months- old infant, which they be-
lieve had been Kidnapped, was revealed
early yesterday morning when Mounted
Policeman fancy was attracted by faint
cries of a baby buried beneath a guam
tity of fresh earth, leaves and grass in
hole three feet deep. The child, boy,
with light hair and bite eyes, was stiff
with cold, the result of exposure. 1t
was soon restored to consciousness and
cared for.
The baby was found within q stones
throw of Murphy's Hollow, a notorious
rendezvous for tramps and gypsies. A
troop of the latter had encamped there
for several days previous to Wednesday
night.
1t was noticed that the gypsies had in
their possession child about months
old, whose light hair and blue eyes af-
forded a striking contrast to the
swarthy gypses.

Corset covers are changed to some
extent, and some are decidedly close
fitting. One of the most fashiona BILE
close-fitting models is tucked with pin
tucks in vertical lines an inch apart
all around, the edges being finished
with hand embroidery. These are es-
pecially good styles for thenew gowns,
as they are cut with the point in front,
but the dainty little straight covers
made of lace and beading and finished
with a belt through which ribbon is
run are so fine and soft that they have
no effect on the bodice at all.
The seamless corset cover with cir
cular frill below the belt is very gen
orally worn, and another pretty nov
city is made of three embroidered
handkerchiefs, caught together under
the arms and tied over the shoulder
with ribbons, few tiny tuclls bringing
it in at the waist line.
This little discussion, given in a gen
eral way, and the illustrations should
give fair idea of the seasons extrava-
gance in lingerie, an extravaganza
which the sensible woman of small
means will avoid and yet closely imi-
tate by the use of equally dainty,
though less costly materials.

TELLS WHEN RICHES CURSE,
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., Discusse.
Wealth and Salvation Before
His Bible Glass.

"Riches do not bar one from saliva
ton. Salvation depends on whether
the man possesses the gold or the gold
possesses him."
Thus, epigrammatically John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., who some day will in
herit a fortune of more than $500, OOo.-
900, expressed himself before the
young mems Bible class in the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church at New York
city.
Mr.. Rockefeller has heretofore
avoided touching on the subject of
riches in his Sunday talks to his Bible
class.
when Jesus said that it was as i'm
possible for rich man to enter the
kingdom of Heaven as it was for a
camel to pass through the eye of a
needle, in my opinion He did not mean
that His words were to be construed in
the literal, broad sense.
"If ambition and pleasure are the
ruling passions of ones life they
should be thrown aside. Christ should
come first. If the rich man places his
possessions first he cannot enter the
kingdom of Heaven.
But the possession of wealth will
not bar one from Heaven. 1t is the
improper use of it. The improper use
of any ability or earthly possession is
equally offensive in the sight of God"

A curious incident occurred on the

While a crowd was watching a cine
matograph man attempted to cut the
ribbons attached to woman's reti-
Guile. He was arrested as thief. At
the police station he gave proof that
he was man of wealth and position.
When questioned by the commissary
of police the prisoner Indignantly de-
MED that his intention was to steal the
reticule, but declared that he could
not resist the temptation to take the
ribbons. He said he carried scissors
with him to cut ribbons off women's
dresses when he had an opportunity.
The truth of his statement was proved
by the discovery in his apartment of
thousands of pieces of ribbons. After
indemnifying the woman he was re-
leased on promising not to begin again.
