MISSING CHILD MAY
HAVE BEEN HERE.
Mrs. R. w. chesbro Notified That Hus-
band Intended to Bring Daughter
Here.


Since advertising for information re-
garding the whereabouts of her year
old daughter, Rosetta, Mrs. Robert w.
Chcsbro of Waterford has received two
notices of the child being seen. In both
these instances the child was reported
to be in the possession, of her father,
who was suspected by Mrs. Chesbro of
having taken the little one
At 11.45 Sunday evening Mr.. Ches-
bro and Rosetta appeared at the home
of Mrs. Thomas w. Harran Of Win
throp street.. New London, and the man
asked for shelter for himself and his
charge for the night. Mrs. Harran sus-
pected there was something wrong, but
her sympathy for the child prompted
her to take the couple in, and after
preparing warm lunch for them, pro-
vided them with bed for the night
Before retiring, the man told Mrs. Har-
ran that he had taken the child from
her boarding house.
Monday morning Mrs. Harran says
Chesbro told her he was going to take
a j4tney to Norwich and from there he
was going TO western New York state,
where he had two sisters living, who
would take charge of the child.
friday Mrs. Chesbro received a. tele-
phone message from g. man living on
the East Great Neck road near Pleas
ure Beach, telling her that he had seen
her husband and child Monday fore
noon and that Chesbro had told him he
was going further on and place the
child in a boarding house and would
then return to Pleasure Beach to work
At the time the Pleasure Beach man
did not think anything was wrong and
until he read the account of the alb
duction Friday evening he thought the
father had legal possession of the
child
Mrs. Cheshro said Saturday morning
that since Monday she has had no
trace of either the child or her hus-
band. She is certain that the talk of
going to New York state was merely
blind. Mrs. Chesbro is determined
that no stone will be left unturned to
secure her child and is anxiously wait
ing news of some sort.
Mrs. Chesbro is known to a number
OF people in this city.

Today IS the Sunday when we are

fu1 custom and OF the blessings which
accrue from such memorials and the
mortal to one day year? While It
may not be feasible to wear a flower
each day. there are many acts which
will take the place Of flowers.
DO you not thinsA that the mothers OF
the land would rejoice to know that
their sons and daughters are doing
kindly deeds and speaking kind words

daily life in recognition OF their moth

subject Living Flowers. with the
thought that we should bestow flowers

Ws would bestow them live.
A parent, true father or a true
mother, gives these flowers Of blessing
every DAY. for they give OF themselves
for their children; they pray for them
they toll for them; they live for them
they impart to them principles which
if followed would yield Joy and peace;
they give paternaI and maternal coun-
sci and show the way of life which il
followed will elevate their souls. They
through their good influences bless tbs
world.
If the young would think of these
things, would recognize the parents
love. desire and anxiety for them
would cheerfully and gladly obey the
parents wishes, there would come int
the hearts Of these young people sucf
joy and peace and comfort as theg
! could not otherwise know.
Let us not forget the living flowers

Censors Pass Greens
All the critics passed the green's Benny
Sayers said they were remarkable for the
short time they had been in existence. The
grass is a bit coarse. naturally, but the
greens have been slicked up in great shape
and good enough for any match. The holes
were cut for the first time yesterday, The
only work yet to be done, aside from the
regular upkeep of the course, is the work of
smoothing out and terracing the space
around the two Colonial white locker build
ings.
The new course is only expected to be a
slight relish to appease the first appetite
of hungry golfers hereabouts that want to
take up the game regularly.
There was much talk today of eventually
turning over this course to golfers that play
game in the 1905, and to build at least
two other courses one location is likely
to be League Island, and Frankford may
also be favored.
Millions of questions are thrown at the
overworked superintendent of the course
and the Park Commissioners. Any player
can golf on the course who has a registra-
tion ticket, price 81, any time during the
year, or by paying fee of 80 cents the
day he wants TO play. A few lockers will
be reserved for these golfers for use when
they want to play, Players that want pri-
vate lockers will pay $40 per year. Choice
Of lockers was given today in the order OF
application at the locker house. There are
4l2 lockers for men and they have not all
been taken. There are 1O1 womens lockers.
Mounted police will patrol the course to
strictly enforce the rules Each player
must have his own set of clubs and must
start from the first tee. No preference will
be given in starting. at first to holders OF
lockers though some arrangement will like
ly be made for this later on.
