Overwhehning Evidence •—‘ The Woman's Method of Work.—Since Arrest Mrs. Byer Becomes Delia Defiant. Not since the terrible murders in Whitechapel has London been so shocked and interested as it has been during the last few weeks by the wholesale murder of infant children, for which Amelia Dyer is now awaiting trial. , A coroner's jury found the woman guilty of wilful murder some days ago. Already there is overwhelming evidence connecting her with the murder of sev- eral children, who were strangled and • thrown into the Thames, after weights had been attached to their bodies. t, If the police are justified in assuming —as they do—that many of the children whose bodies IMMO been taken from the river, or who are still mysteriously miss - sating, met death at the hands of the 7no- torious baby farmer or her accomplices, , the woman is a murderess hundreds of ' times over, and stands in the front rank of the unique criminals of the age, So conclusive is the evidence already In hand that it is thought no defence, unless it be one of insanity, will be pos- sible. The woman =mewed for gain, pri- marily, but there is in the history of her crimes a suggestion that she was in love • with the appalling work which made her •irich. and so found &made pleasure in the wholesale disposal of her victims. • While no correct estimate of the num- ber of babies she killed can yet be made, because the inhuman parents who bar- gained with the baby farmer are natur- ally anxious to conceal their guilt, the police believe that her victims will be numbered by hundreds. The police have succeeded in securing the evidence of several mothers, among them being Evelina Edith Marnon. Tes- timony which she gave at the inquest ; made plain the ingenious manner in which the Dyer woman secured unfortu- nate children and the money of mothers who were ashamed. to own their relation- , ship. Mrs. Dyer carried on her business of murder in several places, notably in , Reading, where she and her alleged son- in-law, Arthur Ernest Palmer, lived to- gether, and in Bristol and London. When she and Palmer were arraigned in the Reading Borough Police Court she de- scribed herself as a nurse, and Palmer Raid he was a commission merchant of Mayo road, Willesden. The police toward the end of March received information which on investiga- tion led them to believe that a connected series of horrible crimes had been perpe- trated, and on April 4 they arrested Mrs. Dyer. When arrested she was living at No. 45 Kensington Road, Reading, Reading Is a borough about thirty-eight miles to the southwest of London, situated on 410he Kennett River near its junction with k N .iso 9. i lug off, testified that he had seen several children in the house, some of whom died, while others,the woman told hirn,she had taken to Loudon, The boy did not un- dersiamd the curiosity with which he was negarded when the significance of his evidence became plain. The prisoners were remanded, and, be- fore they were rearraigned the prosecu- tion had a definite charge the murder of a child named Marron and another named Simmons, both of which were found in a bag Then it was that Mrs. Dyer's plan of campaign was made clear. Evelina Edith Mamma, a single wom- an, who lived in Cheltenham, testified that she answered an advertitement ne- lating to the adoption of a baby, which she saw in aBristol newspaper in Feb- ruary. The advertisement as signed "Mrs Scott," whose address was No. 45 Kensington road, Oxford road, Reading. MRS. DYER. the Thames. Mrs. Dyer was generally reputed to be very pious. Over the door of her home was a figure of Christ, be- neath which was the inscription: "Suffer little children to come unto Me, and for- bid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Alas! The little children who were suffered to come to this terrible old ogre found the way only too soon to the king- dom of heaven. It has been proved that since Christ- mas :twenty children were intrusted to Mrs. Dyer's keeping and that only four are living. The others have vanished. Prior to Christmas many other children who had been placed in her charge dis- appeared. • An old crone known as "Gfannie," who Mm & Dyer picked up in a Bristol infirmary, fell into the hands of the po- lice and "peached" in the hope of saving what remained of her miserable life. Mrs. Dyer was first charged with the murder of an unknown female child, six- teen months old, whose body was found floating in the Thames. The date of this murder was believed to be about March 20. An autopsy proved that death was due to strangulation, and on a piece of paper found in the parcel in which the child , was wrapped was found an address which sirled the police to Mrs. Dyer's place in Ca- versham. From there she was traced to Kensington Road. •1 As soon as Mrs. Dyer and her son-in- law were safe in custody the Thames, near Cavereham Weir, close to Reading. was dragged. Another body was found, with a piece of tape tied abeut the neck, . and a little later a bag containing the bodies of two infants and some bricks was fished up. In the River Kernet, at Reading, still another body was recov- ered. In every case an autopsy proved. that the infant had been strangled before it was thrown into the water. Pt:liner was charged with being an ac- cessery after the fact, but while evidence against Mrs Dyer began to accumulate at once, the man was not directly in- volved. Mrs. Amelia H. Sergeant, of South Eating, Who recognized one of the hod- iea gave evidence tending to bear out the suspicions of the police that Mrs Deer Was a Woman of many names and many residences She said the body in question was that of a child of Lizzie Simonds, who had loft the infant in her cam La- ter on she read an advertisement inserted by one who wished to adopt a baby, and as a result she intrusted it to Mrs. Annie Hardiatg, of Kensington road. She thought Mrs Harding and Mrs Dyer were identical. She paid $50 to have the 431111CI adopted.

She received the following reply under date of March 20 "Dear Madam—In reference to your letter as to the adoption of a child, I write to say I should be glad to have a dear little baby girl, one I could bring up and call my own First, I must tell you that we are plain, honest, homely people, in fairly good circumstances. We live in our own house, and have a good and comfortable home. We are out in the country, and sometimes I am alone a great deal. "I don't want a child, for money's sake, but for company and as a home comfort. I have no children of my own, and a child with me will have a good home and a mother's care. we belong to the Church of England, and although I want to bring the child up as my own.

I should break my journey to Chelten- barn at Gloucester, where I have a friend. Kindly let me have an early reply. I can give you good references, and any ques- tions you may care to ask I shall be glad to answer. "I am, yours respectfully, "A. HARDING." She wrote in turn, asking for full par- ticulars, and saying that if she parted with her child she certainly would wish to visit it. She asked also about terms, and on March 25 she received the follow - in g "My Dear Madam—Your letter just to hand, and I shall only be too pleased for yourself or any friends to come and see baby and us. We don't have many vis- itors out here in the country. I should really like you to know that the pretty child was with some one who would re- ally care for her, and you would feel more comfortable, I know, I promise you faithfully that if you will send her to me I will do a mother's duty for her and bring her up as my own.

I am, yours ever faith- fully, "A. HARDING." True to her promise, Mrs. Dyer "took her entirely." That meant that, the sin- gle woman was not to be troubled in af- ter life by specters of the past. Mrs. Hard- ing, or Dyer, called on March 81 for the baby. She signed an agreement by which for $50 she was to take care of the child and rear it as her own. The agreement ran as follows:— "I, Annie Harding, of No. 45Kensing- ton road, Oxford road, Reading, in con- sideration of the sum of an, paid to me by Evelina Edith Marnon, do hereby agree to adopt 'Doris,' the child of the said Evelina Edith Marnon, and to bring up the said child as my own without any further compensation over and above the aforementioned sum of £10.

Miss Marnon received this letter on April 0: -- "When I got home last night a wire was waiting for me saying my sister was dangerously ill, so I came this morning My dear little girl is a traveler, and no • mistake.

In a few days the mother wrote to Mrs. Dyer's address asking for news of the baby. She received no reply. On April 11 she was led to the district mortuary, where lay the bodies fished out of the Thames. One of the dead children was hers. There was a mark about the neck, where a tape had been knotted by the person who strangled it The bag in which the bodies were found the witness identified as one which Mrs Dyer or Harding had carried on the day she called for the child. The police discovered in pawnshops and in Mrs Dyer's house more than three hundred pounds of baby clothes, WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPH. NEW YORK LETTER.

Prof. Vambery began by stating that there was a scarcity of trustworthy Mk- tosical evidence relative to the earlier ori- gin of the, Hungarian nation. All that Was kilOWn On the subject had been de- rived from a Byzantine and an : Arab writer. According to them, the Magyars were a tribe of Turkish nomads, who, being dr -Ivan front their own trerritory by the encroachments of their more power- ful countrymen, wandered westward Mid eventually reached Hungary by way or the Lower Danube in response to an invi- tation of King Arnulph of Bavaria, who needed their military assistance against the Slav king of Moravia. For nearly a. -century the Magyars settled In Hungary and continued their primitive- mode of life as warlike nomads, undertaking per- iodised raids to all parts of Europe cad eapturing numerous ptieeners; these they employed in agricultural parsuits, while theMagyars themselves remained the dominant race.

Christianity, and, blending in one politi- cal body the various technical elements which had become resident in Hungary, constituted the Hungarian nation. For centuries the Magyar minority continued to rule over the non -Magyar majority by sheer force of their warlike and govern- ing characteristics. By the aid of their liberal institutions and the hospitality which they extended to foreigners they succeeded in maintaining their suprem- acy through all vicissitudes. From these Asiatic nomads the present Hungarian nation descended. • Prof. Vambery then went on to say that Hungary had invariably 'formed an insurmountable barrier against the bar- barism of the East. Had it not been f or the stubborn resistance offered by the Christian armies of Hungary to the in- roads of Turkish hordes, the progress and civilization of Western and Central Eu rope would have been retarded for.hun- dreds of years. Indeed, it could be said that Hungary had acted as the sentinel of Western civilization, but in conse- quence of its being in perpetual readi- ness for war the intellectual conditions of the country had. remained behind. During the past two centuries this had been remedied, and in all respects the progress and development of the nation had been remarkable. At the beginning of the present century the Magyar popu- lation of Hungary numbered only about 3,000,000. To -day it exceeds 8,000,000. 1 H 'works for pa," knocked down apples ice with all its charming etceteras, the A "New Law of Acoustics." A "new law of acoustics" is said to have been discovered by the professor of harmony at the Paris Conservaborium. The discovery is set forth in the follow- ing terms: When, in a closed medium, sound is propagated by the solid walls as well as by the air, the walls transmit grave sounds with more force than shrill ones. The consequence is a difference of velocity in the sounds under the altered conditions The professor was led to this discovery by the transforms. - tion which a piece of music, played on piano, situated on the ground floor of his house underwent on being heard on the third floor, all the windows of the house being shut and all the interior doors open.

An ingenious inquirer, armed with a microphone, or sound magnifier, has been listening patiently through long hours to the curious noises made by house flies, a-nd reports his belief that they have a language of their own. The language does not consist of the buzzing sound we ordinarily hear, which is made by the rapid vibration of their tiny wings in the air, but of a smaller, finer and more widely modulated series of sounds, audible to the human ear only by the aid of the microphone. Probably this fly is perfectly audible to' the fly ears, which, as every schoolboy knows who has tried to move his hand slowly upon them, are very acute. The hope is expressed that, since the heretofore inaudible whispers of flies have been detected and recorded, some inventor may construct a microphone which will enable us to make out the language of the microbes, and so surprise them in tItteor.rrible secret of their mode of oper- Early Exercise for Growing Boys. I have noticed a tendency to permit children to sit up much later than is good for them, the natgral result being a too prevalent fondness for the bed in the morning. If a boy wants to keep himself in prime condition, to grow up strong and vigorous, let him get up in the morning rong enough before breakfast to have first ten minutes* of • brisk work with in pair of light wooden dumbbells, then his ()old bath, and afterwards a sharp walk of fifteen minutes. Any boy who will follow this plan will discover before many weeks that he is easily superior to his classmates in almost any athletic work he undertakes, while head- aches and other ills too common to grow- ing lads will be tudinown to him.—Harp- er's Bazar.

If the effort be not made to clothe thought in proper language, it will be at the expense of the former; for words not only form "the link between the ob- ject and the memory of it," but thoughts =associated with words very soon die away from the memory. What, then, is the remedy? The cultivation of delibera- tion and originality, and the encourage- ment of occasional silence. To do this is sometimes difficult, for it implies the mending of long -existing habits, and in some measure the very loss of individual- ity; for many of us are apt to take refuge in conversation behind phrases mid tricks of speech that have served us well in the past. Good listening is con- ducive to expressive speech, and the ‚words that are formed from violent im- pressions are not those betokening the ex- ercise of clear thought.—"The Perils of Small Talk," by Allen McLane Hamil- ton, in Cetury.
