MOTHER ABANDONS
BABE BECAUSE Of
HAND OEFORM|TY
Little Infant Has Five Fingers
and Thumb on Each Hand,
but Otherwise Perfect.

The Bloomfield police are today
searching for the mother of the six
weeks-old baby boy which was left in
a bundle on the front piazza of the
home of Mrs. Jennie oliver, a widow
living at II Ward street, Bloomfield,
about 3 o'clock Saturday night. They
think she lives in Montclair.
The baby has five fingers and a
thumb on each hand, but is otherwise
perfectly formed and healthy. The po-
lice think the mother abandoned the
infant rather than bring it up with de-
formed hands.
Mrs. Oliver heard the infants cries
and at first thought it was a cat. She
went outside intending to drive the
animal away and there found the little
one. In the bundle were found four
bottles of milk, some clothing and a
poorly written note requesting the per-
son who found the baby to see that it
was well taken care of.
The baby was kept over night by
Mrs. Oliver and then turned over to
the matron of the Bloomfield Town
house.

ATHEISM RIFE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
SAYS MINISTER
Claims Goddess Teaching Works
Harm on Minds of Young
Pupils.
REV. HENRY F. BELCHER
LONG ON SCHOOL BOARDS
Speaks from Forty Years Ex-
perienCe with Public
Education.

The public school teaches atheism,
according to the Rev. Henry f.
Belcher, pastor of the Hilton Christian
Church. In a sermon last night, he
declared that while the public school
system in this country is the greatest
In the world and is the most powerful
influence in the country, it is lacking
In that 1t fails to develop the spiritual
side of the pupils.
The school teaches, he said, that
there are certain great laws of nature
and that these laws are laws because
they are found to be the same always.
Gravitation is declared to be a natu-
raj law and no attempt is made to at
tribute 1t to God. In the schools where
references are made to the Bible or
to religion, 1t is usually touched on in
a name so light that does little more
than to inculcate the idea that things
spiritual are to be regarded without
due respect, he asserted. Many teach
ers, he said, are SO poorly equipped
along spiritual lines that they cannot
correctly read &. passage from the
Scriptures.
The boards of education in the ma
1ority of towns are wholly inefficient.
he declared, and are used to further
political ambitions by INSCRIPTIONS
would-be politicians. Mr.. Belcher has
been connected with schools and boards
Of education for forty years. He was
a member of the Irvington school
board for several years.

AWAY IN EFFORT
TO REGAIN HEALTH
Prayers Offered for Father Cal

ange Church.

The Rtv. John p. Callaghan. rector
East Orange, has been directed by
Bishop John J. O'Connor, of the New
ark Roman Catholic diocese, to give

and yesterday he went away for his
health. The priests physician also
gave the same order as a result of
Father Callaghan's illness.
This announcement was made yes
terday at all the masses by the Rev.
William L. Cunningham, assistant rec
of the parish. 1t was explained to
members of the church thai the rector
had suffered a complete breakdown,
and prayers were offered that the priest
might be able to return again and take
up h reins of government.
Father Callaghan has been very i'll
with u ervou trouble for a long
period, and lately it assumed a serious
turn. Father Callaghan superintendent
the construction of the big marble
church at Main street and Clinton
street, north, East Orange, and was
burdened with many law suits in con-
nection with the purchase of marble,
and he finally bought the quarry. He
has not since enjoyed the best of
health.
Recently the children prepared a
large room in the parish hall in the
hope that the rector might be able to
sleep away from the noise of Main
street.

LIKED HOSPITAL
BETTER THAN HER
OWN RESIDENCE
Aged M0ntclair Woman Stayed
on, Though Well, and Final
ly Dies There.

Mrs. Agnes Wallace, who died at the
Mountainside Hospital. Montclair, yes
terday, was so enamored of that insti-
tuition that she had made her home
there for the past six months, though
she was well.
Mrs. Wallace was taken to the hos
pital last November suffering with q
severe cold. After a few weeks she
was pronounced well and the attending
physician ordered her discharge. Mrs.
Wallace, who was so years of age, had
become attached to the nurses and the
attendants and was so sorrowful at
the prospect of separation that the
superintendent made arrangements for
her to stay.
The woman became a favorite in the
hospital and las Christmas and IN
Easter she was showered with flowers.
She enjoyed her old home, but a few
weeks ago she again fell i'll and her
condition rapidly became worse until
she died. Mrs. wallace lived at 20 Val
ley road, Montclair, with her son up
to the time she was taken to the hos
pital.
