the Missing Woman

SARANAC LAKE. n. Y. June 2S.-Ail
hope of finding alive Miss Mary Rogers.
of Leesburg, W., who fed from SAN
itarium here, has been given UP. The
authorities and her relatives believe that
she wandered away while temporarily
deranged as a result of her illness, and
that she has been drowned in Saranac
lake or the Saranac river.
the authorities have also abandoned
all suspicion Of foul play in her disap-
pearaEce.
The brother of the young woman is
here and has joined with Willoughby
n. Smith, fiance of Miss Rogers, in the
search for the body.
Wandered Away.
The admission is made, even by those
who instituted the John Doe proceed
ings against Willoughby N. Smith,
prominent lawyer of Baltimore. who
accompanied Miss Rogers and nurse
that the unfortunate young woman
wandered away while temporarily de-
ranged as result OF her Illness.
1t is now believed she is either lost in
the woods or has been drowned in
Saranac lake or Saranac river.
1t was brought out in proceedings be-
fore Col John Strong. justice OF the
peace. that Miss Rogers IS not wealthy.
She may have few thousand dollars
but no more.
Mr.. Smith, who has been attentive to
the young woman, both before and since
her Illness. made It possible for her to
come here. When It was found that she
was Ill with tuberculosis a trip to the
mountains was suggested. Mr.. Smith.
when he heard OF it, suggested that she
go and that ne would defray the ex-
penses as a birthday gift to her.
Judge Scores Attorney.
Justice Strong is angry at the stand

Finn felephoned me four times from
his residence to issue warrants for the
arrest Of Mr. Smith and the nurse, Ada

writer on the Baltimore News, said
when he reached here yesterday morn
ing that the entire proceedings OF the
law officers of Saranac Lake were dis

Mr. Smith admitted that IL his brother

Two Appropriations.

Seventeen public Fairgrounds were
thrown open to the children of Wash
ington yesterday, and about 10000
little ones flocked to the places where
the open air, free space, and play ap-
paratus were offered them.
Washington is TO be congratulated
on the event. Public Fairgrounds are
one Of the best things that can be
provided by any city for the develop
ment and wholesome upgrowth of its
rising generation. Last winter in
spite of this fact-which is the proven
experience of other cities-the friends
OF the movement feared that Con-
gress would not allow an appropria-
ton for Fairgrounds in Washington.
But the appropriation came and help
ed toward the JOY Of these 10000
children yesterday.
Now another, an appropriation by
the congress of Washington's citizens,
is needed. The Fairgrounds have been
opened, and, by economical manage
ment, may be kept open until Septem-
Der 5. More money is needed, how
ever, and the Associated Charities
committee on public Fairgrounds
trusts to the parents of this city to
contribute the sum required.
The Times takes the same position.
Surely the trust is not ill-founded

The COnfederate Yeteran fOr March

The Veteran for March CON
tains many articles Of general and
special interest. Personal reIni-
Iniscences Of soldiers concerning
camp and prison life during the
sixties are interspersed with items
of interest on present happenings
in Confederate circles.
Many Southern States, as we'll
as some of those beyond Mason
and Dixon's line, are represent
ed. There is a most entertaining
communication from a Federal
soldier, and the entire number is
replete with matter of value.
There are one or two very clever
poems, and the standard of the
magazine is well sustained.
The leading editorial IN the
Veteran for March deals in a most
effective way with the current
comment regarding Gen. Miles
treatment Of Jefferson Davis when
d prisoner Of war. Editor Cum
ningham says that it was not in
tended originally to cause discus
sion on this subject in the Veter-
an, but the general comment Of
the press throughout the country
renders it almost necessary for
some reference to be made. 1t
deals with the treatment Of both
President Roosevelt and Gen.
Miles.
The frontispiece of the Veteran.
for March is the finest portrait
ever made, doubtless, of Daniel
Emmett, the author of sDixie's
Land and editorial comment is
made regarding the man himself
as we'll as in reference to the re-
cent discussion regarding propos-
ed changes in the famous and be-
loved song.
Promise Of a Sectional Millen-
num- is the title of an article in
the Confederate Veteran for
March, and it is the account of a
glowing eulogy paid to the South
by Hon. Henry Sherman Boutell,
Republican Senator from Chicago.
