The city is heap Of ruins.
With charactistic pramptitude the

country an example Of generous as
sistance to the afflicted city. The
King and Queen have each contribu-

A Mother Kills Her Child and
Hangs It In a Sack On
a Fence.
CLEARLY INFANTICIDE.
Most Revolving Crime Known
For Years and Murderer
Unknown.

Almost horrible crime was brought
to light Thursday afternoon by the
discovery by children of a dead body
in a coffee sack on a fence in the
rear of the home of Mr.. C. S. Jar
rett, on South Walnut street, some
distance from the house, and sepa-
rating Sharpsfeld.
The details are almost too revolt
ing to chronicle. A sack containing
something was noticed on the back
fence Wednesday by some colored
people but no attention was paid to
it. Thursday afternoon the curiosi-
ty of negro woman was excited to
such pitch that she sent some chill
dren to see what the sack contained.
When they took it from the fence
and opened it they found, wrapped
in rags, a dead newborn child. The
police were at once notified and
officer Merritt was sent out to inves-
tigate. Coroner Allensworth was
also called and buried the child.
Yesterday morning the coroner
disinterred the child and summoned
DIR. Jackson to hold a post norton
examination. He responded to the
call and took DR.. Woodland with him.
Their evidence before the corOner's
jury was. after examining the lungs
and brain, that the infant had beer
murdered, either by being struck il
the face with some heavy substance
or that the inhuman mother haC
taken it by the heels and struck il
against something. DIR, Jackson say!
that the child was about 8 pounds III
weight and had undoubtedly lived
after birth. 1t was a girl but tht
physicians cannot state as to wheth-
er it was white or black.
There is, at present, no indication
as to who the murderer is. but coro-
ner AIlensworth is going to use
every effort to bring the inhunsan
wretch to justice, and we learn that
he has some hope of doing so.

sorrow at the news of the death of
Miss Alice Moore, which occurred
Thursday afternoon about three

Woodbridge, Misses Lizzie Tyler and
Louise. Heart trouble and pneumo-
MIA have robbed Mr.. Moore's home
of one of its treasures in her early
womanhOod. Her mother passed
away about five years ago, since
when she and the other loving
daughters have striven to make his
life as happy as devoted children
can, after mother is gone. The
young lady was only eighteen years
of age and was a great favorite
with all who knew her. Kind heart
ed to all, bright and winsome. She
never failed to make friends with
all she met. Mr.. Moore has the
deepest sympathy of his many
friends.

Where Sentiment Ciinos.

'~There is u lot of sentiment in New York" said renting agent. Some of our tenants find 1t in chunks, and then they come and tell us about it. It is usually centered in some room in a boarding or furnished room house on our list. You wouldn't think there would be much romance attached to a place of that kind, yet that is where the spirit of sen iment most frequently manifests itself Some people, mostly women, of course, come back year aft CT year and ask to be allowed to see certain rooms in certain houses. Great events in their liTes apparently took place there. Maybe somebody was born there maybe somebody died, or 1t might have been some other tragedy or some other joy. Anyhow to those persons those particular rooms are hal lowed spots, and on certain dates, an niversaries probably, they make a pill grimage there. Sometimes the tenant, If a newcomer, suspects thieves and refuses permission to enter, but, as a rule, the most stony hearted yields to the spirit of romance and the visitor is allowed to weep and mourn to her hearts content" York Press.

REPORTERS CONSCIENCE IN
Forks Up Delinquent street Car Fares
and Grinds Out
osCOop.1

When the late Charles T. Yerkes lived
In Chicago II was said that none ever
bested him in a financial deal. A certain
writer I'm the city who secured his start on
n newspaper owned by the street car mag
nate has Just confessed that he succeeded
in putting one over" on the traction
wizard.
This young man. then a reporter, was
overlooked by conductors on three different
occasions in one week in trips about the
city, they failing to collect his fare.
Here's chance for n conscience
story" he thought and he laid the
foundation for It by sending to Mr.. Yerkes
a note with Is cents. The note ran:
Mr.. Yerkes Dear Sir: Three times tho
past week I have been overlooked by con-
ductors on your lines. who failed to col
lect from me. Momentarily I congratu-
lated myself on their oversight, but I'M
fortunately I have conscience. Although
It is small matter, I am troubled over
1t. I should have offered them the fare.
You may not believe mo when tell you
have been unable 70 sleep nights, but It
ls so. I was brought up to pay for what
receive and must do It now, even
though 1t is street car corporation that
is my creditor Please, therefore, accept
the enclosed IS cents. The minute this Is
mailed l will be able to look honest men
In the face again"
What Mr.. Yerkes thought OF this con-
fession never has been revealed. But the
writer OF the note wrote a story about II
few days later and the Sunday editor Of
the Yerkes paper bought II from him, pay
ing $3.50 for the yarn, a highly moral dis
sertation of the reformation Of a street car
patron who had a conscience. The money
paid for the story came out OF the Yerkes
treasury, so that the net expense for the
oversight OF the three conductors, allowing
for the Is cents returned, $2.S5.
Il really needn't have sent the IS cents
back" the writer said. but it was just as
we'll to make the story technically true"-
