RETIREMENT OF JUDGE LLOYD.

Judge Henry Lloyd, who retired from
the bench of the first judicial Circuit on
Thursday. after nearly sixteen years OF
distinguhhed service thereon, will carry
with him into the private walks of his
life, the good win a. well as the esteem
and respect Of the people not only of his
county and town. but of the entire judi
cisl district. and. we might say, of the en-.
tire ststs, - well.
To very few men Is it given to have
served with such conspicuous success in
20 many important positions while COM
paratively young men. Judge Lloyd has
been . Member and President Of the Mary
land Senate, Governor Of the State, and
for some sixteen years Associate Judge Of
the Circuit Court at the age Of Sc.
In addition to his distinctly public ser
vice Judge Lloyd has filed conspicuous
place q Q citizen and a. man. He has
besA Tor many yea3 President of the Dor
chester bank; has served as . vestryman
of Christ Church, and as President of the
Board Of Directors of the Cambridge Hos
pital to which in many ways his services
have been invaluable. He has also been
connected with many other enterprises
and hxS lent his assistance to numerous
philanthropic movements, aiding them
with money and advice. As private
citizen Judge Lloyd can and, we believe
win. be of even greater service to this COM
munity where he is honored as few men
are or have ever been.

The trial which has been In pro

into the court room and took their
seats in the jury box, Judge Lawlor
asked Foreman Mcnamara;

he handed a folded slip Of paper to

unfolded the paper and read the
fatal words, "We, the jury, find the

SELLS HER INFANT FOR $40
PHILADELPHIA MOTHER MAKES
A PATHETIC BARGAIN.
Destitute and Starving, She. Gives UP
Her Baby for Food and
Clothing. z

Philadelphia. Tearing her six
month-old child from her breast and
bursting into tears at the realiza-
ton that she was not to see him for
IL years o. more, Mrs. Mary Leven, a
destitute and starving woman, Tues
day sold her son for SO to Abraham
and Shendel Kelvin of 1719 South Sixth
street.
This was done after most extraor-
binary article of agreement had been
drawn up in the office Of David Apoth-
eker, a notary public. ..7
AS the baby chung to It's mother, in
nocently unconscious that the whole
course OF its life was at its turning
point. the woman wrote her name at
the bottom of the agreement below
that of Abraham Kelvin, and the child
was delivered over to the ownership of
its foster parents.
In the agreement 1t was stipulated
that $40 was the nominal considera-
ton, but the money actually did not
change hands. Moved to pity for the
almost starving woman, Mrs. Kelvin
bought her, pair Of shoes and food.
During the drawing up Of the agree
ment the mother had been nursing the
child, grooming over it as it lay on her
breast. When the paper was signed
and sworn to the full realization of the
separation first dawned on the mother.
AS she kissed the child for the last
time she could no longer keep back
the tears that were yelling up. Kelvin
and his sife turned their backs on the
scene, and Apotheker busted himself
with some loose papers on his desk.
But in moment the young mother
had composed herself, and with a
voice choked with sQbs she murmured:
Here he is-take him; he's yours
now!"

Correctionvllle I'D. B. Shontz, tax
ferret for Woodbury. and several
other Iowa counties accidentally made
the discovery that he had been de-
feated In the lower court in his eff
fort to collect $4,000 in back taxes
from the Sioux City stock yards
company. The decision was render
ed last September and as not word
has leaked about the ruling, Mr..
Shontz is rather inclined to the
view that there was an effort to keep
1t secret for six months when his
right to appeal to the supreme court
would have been foreclosed by limi-
tation. When he happened across
the adverse decision he at once took
steps to perfect his appeal. On the
-esult of this case in the higher
court depends not only the collection
OF an enormous sum OF taxes from
the Sioux City stock yards company,
owned jointly by the Swift, Armour
and Cudahy packing interests, but
the authority Of county treasurers in
the matter of making assessments
which the assessor over-looks and
the tax ferrets uncover, will be de-
cided.
