Quiet Her-In Silks and Linen.

An infant girl. about three days old
was abandoned in the vestIbule Of St
Peters Catholic Church, Second and C
streets southeast. last night shortly te-
fore o'clock.
Police of the Fifth precinct are trying
to find the parents Of the baby or the
person who abandoned 1t. although there
is not clew.
Heard Faint WaiIfng.
| Members of the congregation at wor-
ship in the church heard the faint wall
ing of an infant about s o'clock. It was
/ thought the child was in the arms OF
some one standing at the door or pass
ing the church. When the cries were
prolonged several persons near the rear
OF the church left the pews and went
out to investigate.
In a dark corner OF the vestibule was
basket OF the style commonly used bS
grocers TO deliver goods. The cries seem
ed to come from the basket, and wher
the searchers advanced to the secluded
corner, they saw the basket was Allied
with something white.
A match was lighted and the faint glare
OF the burning sulphur revealed the pint
and white face OF a baby. peeping over
the swaddling clothes In which she had
been wrapped The baby was not IN
comfortable. and apparently had been IN
the vestibule only a few minutes. She
seemed TO object to the dark and cried

It was thought the parents or caretaker
OF the infant were near, and a search
was made. In a short time those who
discovered the basket realized that the
baby had been abandoned.
The little bundle OF lace, silk. linen, and
hligree was carried in the priests house
where It was crooned TO sleep, while a tele-
phone call was sent 10 the police. Sergt
r. W. Montgomery appeared in a short
time and took charge of the infant. The
baby cried as soon as sine was delivered

held her, but the sergeant soon succeeded

At the Pennsylvania Club. Charles Mey-

SOUTHERN BAZAAR SUCCESS
Enterprise Is Brought to a Close
in a Blaze of Glory.
Champ Clark, Minority Leader OF
House, Speaks on Missouri
Conditions During War.

Amid a burst of oratory. the bewitch-
ing strains OF. the waltz, the cries Of the
auctioneers on the various stands. the
spinning of the wheel of fortune. and the
beguiling smiles of the South's most beau
tiful daughters, the Southern bazaar,
which has been in progress a week at old
Masonic Temple. was last evening brought
to a close In a blaze OF glory. 4 con-
siderable sum will be turned over TO the
Confederate Memorial Home.
1t was designated as Missouri. Texas.
and Arkansas night, and the crowd.
which was the greatest of the week, was
Southern in every respect. Champ Clark,
minority leader of the House. made the
address of the evening. He was intro
dueed by Perry NJ. DeLeon, treasurer of
the Bazaar Association. who congratu-
lated Mrs. C. D. Merwin. the director
general, to whose efforts the success of
the bazaar was largely due.
Representative Clark was most happy
in his remarks. dealing with conditions
that prevailed in Missouri during the
civil war. 1T was dangerous. some
days, TO be pronounced a Northerner. -
he said. Some days it was dangerous
to be an advocate of the South; and at
all times it was dangerous to be astride
OF the fence"
Evidently he thought those conditions
had changed and there was 10 longer
trouble in the middle course, for he
strongly eomplimented the generals who
fought on both sides.
The various booths did thriving bust
ness. as did the lunch room, the gypsy
tent, and all other features of the enter
prise. 1t may be several days before the
final figures are determined. but Mrs
Merwin, the director general, is authority
for the statement that they will be able
to turn over to the fund q much larger
sum than the most sanguine expected.

KERN URGES HARMONY.
The Former Democratic Candidate
Wants Jefferson Day Observed.

Wants Jefferson Day Observed.
The following letter has been received
in Washington from John w. Kern
Democratic candidate for Vice President
at the last election:
''The banquet TO be given at Indian
apoiis on Jefferson's birthday IS not q
counter demonstration to any OF the other
numerous banquets and meetings that
will occur on that date in the various
sections OF the country The committees
which are arranging for the banquet here
are made up of our best Democrats, and
the question OF Bryan or anti-Bryan has
not been considered or thought of-all
being actuated by the one desire TO pro-
mote harmony and aid in bringing about
a Democratic victory.
For myself, hope JefTerson's birthday
may be celebrated by Democrats in every
part OF the United States. The PROPOSE
ton that a few Democrats in Indianapo.
lis or the city Of washington have such
monopoly OF the day that rivalry must
be presumed because OF bsnquets at boil
places is so superlatively ridiculous as e
require no comment The article In cues
ton also quotes me as predicting a com.
plete reorganization of parties in which
the Bryan partisans will gather under the
banners OF Cummins and La Toilette
You know. and so does every other man
who has associated with me in politics
that never made any such prediction. ]
would be glad TO see true reformers like
La Toilette marching under the banner OF
true Democracy, but want to die before
the colors Of the old Democratic party
of Jefferson are lowered, or that splendid
organization lose its identity or name
Referring to another statement In
question. I may add that I am in nc
sense moving spirit in arranging for
the Indianapolis banquet, and will not be
one of the speakers. I am now engaged
in practicing law and have little time for
demonstrations or counter demonstrations
OF q political character. But you may be
sure that am as steadfsst in my adj
herence TO Democratic principles and as
hopeful of ultimate Democratic triumph
as ] have ever been.
With kind personal regards. I am.
Very truly yours.
