FATHER PERSISTS IN THEORY

Dover, Del. May Z. Lying in d
Horace Marvin. son of DIR. III. n. Mar
vim, whose mysterious disappearance
from the Bay Meadow farm, near DO
yer, had baftled solution since March
4. was found about half a mile from
the Marvin farm Saturday by Ollie
P~leasanton, a farmer.
Pleasanton, who lives on a farm adj
the child's body while out cunning.
The child lay face downward in a
patch Of meadow grass.
There was not a mark upon the lit
tie ones body indicating foul play.
An Odd Circumstance.
Pleasanton says he saw the body
from a distance of twenty feet. Fri
day several gunners passed over this
land, but none saw the body, if it was
there then.
Detectives who have been working
on the case are inclined to the belief
that the boy wandered into the
marshes from the farm on the day OF
his disappearance, and being overcome
by the cold fell exhausted where the
body was found.
Covered Same Ground.
DR.. Marvin says he had searched
over the same marsh nearly every day
since the disappearance, II with de
t~ectives burned the grass off the place
four weeks ago, but saw no sign of the
body.
The theory that the child recently
had been placed where he was found
is supported by the fact that DR.. Mar
vim and the detectives stood on the
spot when they burned the tall sage
grass from it.
DR.. Marvin went on a run to the
place described by P%leasanton and
gently picked up the little form, push
ing the cap from the face to make
sure that it was his boy.
Convinced of Foul Play.
Being convinced that it was his son,
the doctor wrapped the remains in a
sheet and carried him to the house.
DR.. Marvin is convinced that his son
met with foul play. He said:
Though am unable to examine
Horace closely until the coroner an
rives, | am certain he was murdered,
his body brought back and left lying
In the marsh to give the impression
that he wandered out there and died.
The clothing showed no signs of hav-
ing been burned as undoubtedly
would have been the case had the
bnlv joi6 thnrn whom tho fro cuan
pver the marsh"
The coroner will begin his investi-
cation to-day.

The Jewish outlook., 1907-11-29

The sporadic enthusiasm on the great
festivals is due to the passing interest
taken by Jewish women. The passing
of Jewish home ceremonies is due to
the Indifference of the women. The
deliberate violation Of the comities,
by attending matinees and shopping
on the Sabbath day, are the out
growth Of women's ways.
Now, Jewish women, recognizing
that their example and personal SER
vice are absolutely required to stay
the era of Indifference, are, little by
little, restoring the simple, yet ever
beautiful ceremonies in their homes.
The tapers of the Menorah shed their
hallowed light in many home on the
Sabbath eve. The narrative of the ex-
odus from Egypt is related in many
homes on the eve of Passover. Cha
nukah and Purim, for long time con-
signed to oblivion, are being revived.
Now our glorious womanhood seems
to be on the alert to give the tradi-
tional Sabbath something Of Jewish
semblance, by declining to participate
in frivolity and shopping. It is a
creditable intention and an absolutely
necessary step. 1t is unnecessary to
add that if our women will insist upon
and carry out propositions looking to
proper Sabbath observance they will
be encouraged and sustained.-Jew-
ish Ledger.
