body of four-year-old Michael Morski,
who was kidnapped from the sidewalk
near his home the other evening, was
found by a party of rabbit hunters,
hidden in the fireplace Of a deserted
stone house, on the Christmas farm,
half a mile from the village Of Will
Jams Corner and three miles from the
murdered child's home.
There was a deep stab wound in the
throat, and the head had been
crushed by a blow from 4 big thorn
club, which lay 4 short distance away.
Tightly clenched in the boys left hand
was a stone.
Six men belonging to two bands of

from the scene of the tragedy were
placed under arrest rs suspects. The
prisoners are Nike and Barney Dough-

little lookup in which the suspects are
held. The streets became filled with
men and women, and the greatest eX-
element prevailed. Thousands of
stalwart iron workers began securing
the forest covered waste about Valley
Forge, near the home of Philander c.
Knox, while many began searching the
country surrounding the scene Of the
murder, which Is but a mile from the
old home of Governor Pennypacker-
Moore Manor.
Coroner Charles Howell, who is also
the Magistrate at this place, said that
so far no evidence of 4 tangible char.
acter had been found by the officials,
nor could they establish Il motive.
"Why the boy was murdered we can
not possibly guess" he said. There
was no motive unless the %kidnapers,
fearing detection, decided to put the
boy to death to seal his lips
The child was picked up by 4 party
Of men who were driving through the
town in two covered wagons. A boy
saw them take the child, but before
he could attract any ones attention
the kidnapers had disappeared. All
lay and the following night searching
parties" were out trying to trace the
wagons, but without success.
The news of the arrest Of the six
gypsies soon spread through Phoenix
Vile and hundreds Of men and women
gathered along the streets. AS the
prisoners were brought in there were
cries of Lynch them" Burn them!'
The officers drew their revolyers and
kept the angry crowd back. At the
lookup they had difficulty in getting
their prisoners through the threatening
mob into the Jail.
Deputies have been sworn in to keep
back the crowds during the hearing in
court. Although the county officials
openly scout the idea of violence, they
nevertheless proceeded to take every
precaution to safeguard the prisoners.
1t is said that members Of Company
K, Third Pennsylvania National
Guard, stationed here. together with
q light battery Of militia, have been in

Women In Business.

Unquestionably more women OF ca
pability and intelligence look upon
craftsmanship as a life work than was
the case ten or even five years ago.
A visit to any one Of the better class
Of stores is sufficient to prove this to
the satisfaction of even the casual
observer. One does not get the impress
sion that the salesgirl is simply work
ing at a small salary until she can
marry or find some other employment
but one sees thoughtful .saleswomen,
who are trying to make their occupa-
tions worth something, who intend to
sell goods as a business and not as
a transient occupation. 49,
The result Is that they get better pay
than before; and many of them are
earning better salaries than they could
in any other way. The discrimination
between men and women in salaries
becomes less and less, for the modern
tendency is to regulate the remuner-
alton by the work done, without refer
ence to who does 1t.
Many women as heads OF depart
ments get good salaries, and it is no
uncommon thing to see a woman OF
fifty years Of more in these positions.

The Newest Outdoor Sport.

Out Of bicycle racing evolved the
present-day bicycle. handsome, con-
venient, light. s%erviceable and mex

like effect, and the clumsy motor cars
of a year or two ago are replaced by
cars Of greatly improved design. So
it is also with motor boats, the new
sport of "auto" boat racing already be-
ginning to show its effects in the gen.
