WHERE BEAUTY SAVED
FROM unknown
GRAVE
Narrow Escape From
Potter's Fiele.
WHAT GOOD LOOKS DID

New York, Dec. 17.--Nellie Dunbar's
beautiful face, which has been her
curse, served her good turn at the
end, when it put her remains into her
old mothers hands for Christian burial
not that It mattered anything to the
girl whether she filled few feet in
q Potter's Field trench or went to the
knives Of dissecting room at the Post
Graduate Hospital She told the sis
ters at ST. Vincent's hospital where she
died on November % that she didn't
want her parents to know what had be-
come of her, but her mother. says she
would better have the picture of a
grave under lonely, leafless tree in
her heart and know that her wandering
child rests there than to go on through
the years filed with a terrible uncer-
tainty worse than death.
Mrs. Elizabeth Dunbar, OF No. 172l
Madison avenue, Scranton, Pa, came to
New York early last week to ask Mel
lie to go back home for Christmas and
try to foget the four years that she had
put DetWeen the lduhiy anu hcioSii'
when she chose "the primrose path Of
dalliance."
The mother could not find her daugh-
ter and her heart was crushed No one
could tell her what had become of Nell
lie, and when she appealed to the police
il was only by chance that clue TO
her whereabouts was discovered.
Nellie Dunbar had been found in the
gutter at Little West Twelfth and
Greenwich streets, starving and gone
TO st. Vincent's hospital. and 1t was
seen that she had but few hours to
live. The sisters told her that death
was near and the girl said she was
glad. They asked her for her name
so that they might tell those to whom
she belonged, but she refused it. She
didn't want anyone to know what had
happened to her.
The doctors and the nurses were at
tracted by her beauty, and when death
had ended the unfortunate girls pain
they kept her remains in the hope that
some one would claim them and give
them decent burial.
The body was kept at the hospital
Ave days, and then 1t was sent to the
,norgue, as the law would not permit
81. Vincent's to keep it any longer.
The offlcials at the public charnel house
when they saw the girls face, were
moved by the same hope that the hos
pita! people had been, but there were
but two things to be done with it.
send 1t to the Potter's Field or give II
to the knives of dissectors.' No claim
ant appeared and It went to the Post
Graduate hospital. Across the death
certificate Coroner O'Hanlon, who, like
every ono else who had come in touch
with the case, was struck by the girls
beauty, wrote. "One more unfortunate
gone to her death"
Assisted by the police, Mrs. Dunbar
had been tracing the body of her child
and o few minutes before It was to
have been exposed in the amphitheatre
Of the Post Graduate hospital, and
while students were filing the benches
Mrs. Dunbar found the wayward one
and claimed all that was left of her.
Nsllie Dunbar's body lies in the Lu
thcran cemetery Of Long Island, wher,
her mother buried II. There was no use
IN taking II home.

Still Growing.

Lexington is becoming to be quite
an important, railway station, Be.
sides returning the largest freight
receipts of any station between Co.
lumbia and Augusta, it is rumored
that this station is to be made the
meeting point for all trains on the
Augusta end. Be this as it may,
however, it has been found that the
present side track is insufficient to
accommods to the trains, which now
meet here and the increased traffic
that is now being done, and it is
necessary to increase the side track
capacity. A gang Of hands have
been at work on a new track, which
commences near the old batting fac
tory, a distance of about half q mile
from the depot, toward the later
place, joining the present side track.
There is some move on foot looking
to the advantage of Lexington, but
the nature Of which we have failed
to catch on to.
