All he needs to do is to intimate to the woman in charge that he does not wish to be annoyed bv the youngster, and if he pa vs about $50 he will have no more trouble.” Infanticide was openly carried on in this city a few years ago, but the expos ures of the bogus diploma colleges broke up the evil for a tim*. Midwives and people conducting private lying-in hos pitals were r-quired to register at the office of the board of healin, and for a time they were under police surveill ance. Places of this kind are now be coming more numerous, and they are scattered all over the city. There are no less than 250 midwives registered at the Board of Health office. As a nurse in a private family such a woman might earn $15 per week, but the opportunities afforded for obtaining big fees for secret work induces many women to establish private lying-in houses. The official records show that there ’•'ere 26,296 biths in this city last year, and the unofficial arrivals, which were not recorded with joy, were many hundred mere. While there are many places where waifs will be taken care of in at emer gency, there is no foundling hospital in this city. From the station house and maternity hospitals, where foundlings are temporarily placed, the friendless lit tle ones are conveyed to the Alms House. Most of the private lying-in houses are adapted for people of the better classes. A visit to the housieofa person who advertises as a ladies’ physician dis closed a large parlor, elegantly furnish ed, which is used as a reception room. It is made attractive, so that the first im pression upon the unfortunate patient may be pleasant. The rooms above are all comfortably furnished, and some of them even elaborately, for the patients who want strict privacy and are willn » to pay a big sum for these accommoda tions. ‘*0h, yes,” said, the woman, “we have both married and single ladies here, and a good many of the single ladies cojfre from places out of town.” “Do many of tlietn take their babies away wi»h them:” was asked. “Hardly any of the single women, do,’’ she answered. “That is why we have so much to do. You see at the charity lyiu,-in hospitals the matrons nevbr allow a mother to leave her child. 'The child at such institutions is prqperly taken care of, and when the mother is ready to depait, the irfmt is in goffl condition to go with her/’ “.What becomes of the children?” r “’Oh, we advertise them for adoption •Yon see,when wc get a batch of answers to an advertisement we kiep a lecord of the coreespondents and of the kind of a baby each wants.

Then the baron got news that he had inherited another 'ortunein Germany, and he was about to take his wife over there to enjoy it. She gave him all the money she bad in the world except $60, and he went out to buy steamship tickets. That was last Monday. He did not return, and a note from him the next day t *ld her he had sailed alone on the Alaska. The baro ness took her $60 and followed him Wedne>day on the Galia, hoping to over take him at Liverpool. The baron’s name is not on the list of any outgoing steamship, and it is not believed he has left the country. THE TWO MARRIAGES. A Baltimore special to the Philadelphia Times says: “The marriage of Baron Vone Suer- and 'AHss TV'dlie Con stable, in this oity last September, caus ed a social sensation. Miss Constable was prominent in society and her attach ment for the bar< n was not generally known until after ihe marriage. It ap pears that they first met on a steamer returning from Europe, Miss Constable having been abroad completing her musical training, she being a very tine singer. The friendship cultivated dur ing an ocean voyage soon ripened into love, and, on the arrival of the steamer at New York, Mi*s Constable, who is a nece of Henry Archer of Harford county, Md^j-eturned to her uncle’s horn**. In a few weeks the baron arrived in Balti more, and one day about the middle of September the baron and Miss Const able appeared before Mayor Latrobe at the city hall and requested lum to mar ry. them. The mayor, according to the laws of this state, having no authority to perform the marriage ceremony, told the baron to go ty the German consul. The couple appeared anxious to have the ceremony performed immediately, and, after leaving the mayor’s office, they went to the rectory of Rev, Dr. HodgC3 of, St. Paul’s Episcopal church, and that gentleman married them. The baron was very desirous to have the knot also tied by a civil magistrate, and as Baltimore’s mayor had not the authori ty and the baron did not care to ask an ordinary justice of the peace,he took his bride to Philadelphia, where Mayor Filler married them. She Marries a “Baron,” Who Spends All Her Money and Leaves Her. The New York Herald publishes a remarkable story of the msrried life of the Baroness F. E. 0. Von Sucro, for merly Mips Willie Constable, of Balti more. She js handsome, of good fam ily, well known in New York and Balti more’ social circles, and about 33 years old. Her parents are dead. She met the baron, who is much oldpr, and not at all attractive, about a year ago, in Baltimore. Absblutely nothing was known about him, except his statement that be was a nobleman and the posses sor of v <st estates in Germany. Miss Constable’s friends and relatives dis liked the baron exceedingly, but she ac cepted his attentions, ard last Septem ber WA3 married to bim in Baltimore, and again in Philadelphia. BORROWING HIS WIFE'S MONET. They came to New York and lived at a fasbionab’e boardinghouse. The barou had no money, but he explained that bis father had become enraged at his engagement to an American girl, and had shut off all his supplies from his estate. The barone-s had & small fortune on which they were to live un til the baron got his affairs straightened out. Afterward HiB baron tt Id his wife,at intervals, of extraordinary, misfortunes that had befallen his inteiests abroad.

His Recollection Thirty Years Jug Tavern ,Ga-, April 18 '89. About thirty years ago Mr. Thos N. McLeduff came from South Carolina and settled about three miles from where the town of Jug Tavern now stands. Then no one ever thought of there being a town built here, nor of a railroad running so near. All was un inviting - , and just why Mr. McLeduff decided to locate here, we can only con jecture. lie was then 56 years old and aslithe as a j'oung man of twenty. He was fond of horse racing which was the favorite sport of the community. And he would sometimes indulge in a social glass which was a very common custom then.; But now, in his 86th yea”, “Un de Tommy,” as he is familiarly called, is begmning to show signs of age. Only a short while ago he walked into town and attended to business. He car ries a pocket book, which be has had 40 years. He says he decided to quit drinking years ago, an 1 found no diffi culty in doing so, and has abstained from it ever since. He likei to. talk about the days of yore, and remembers that when lie came here, there was an old tavern kept about where Mr. Bush’s house now stands. It was kept by an old man named Morris, and Mortis did r.ot know how the place came to be call ed Jug Tavern. So itsjoame dates too far back for any of our present citizens to tell anything about it.
