Christmas in the Sunday Schools. Where David Carrick’s Body was Found by His Friends. ‘HE DIED IN THE FREEDMAN’S HOSPITAL AND HIS REMAINS WERE FOUND IN THE HOWARD MEDICAL COLLEGE—THR HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES SAY THAT THE BODY WAS BURIED. Sixteen days ago a young man named David Carrick was sent to Freedman’s hospital by Sanitary Officer Frank. Carrick had no means and he was compelied to seek through the au- thorities admission asa free patient to some hospital. He was twenty-eight years old and had resided here nearly five years, having come here from Fairfax county, Va., in 1884. He had followed boating on the canal for a living, but recently he was employed as the driver of a stone wagon by Dan’l Hammond, in Georgetown. About the 9th of this month he complained of feeling sick, and grew worse until he was re- moved to the hospital, where it was found that he was suff from typhoid fever. His em- loyer looked after the permit and got it, as he Eupposed, for Carrick's admission to. Prov. é 5 & An immense tree glittering evening delighted the eyes of the members the Sunday schools connected with the First Presbyterian church. There was singing by the and the usual distribution of e infant class of Calv: i Sunday school was treated with aC tertainment last evening. A tations and songs was carried out under the di- rection of the teacher, Miss Sadie White. Prizes were given to Julia Hall, Oscar Homer, Marion Lee and Charlie Minck for constant at- tendance. The Eastern Presbyterian church was filled to its utmost capacity last evening, the occa- sion being the Christmas entertainment of the < brief program, consist- ‘dence hospital.

The next they learned from him was a week ago yesterday, when they sawin Tae Star the name of their friend in the daily death list. Then they went to look for the a ‘MR, DANIELS’ STORY. Mr. Daniels told a Stan reporter last evening that in searching for the body he first went on Thursday of last week to Freedman’s hospital. There he was informed by Dr. Purvis, the 5 ere jad that Carrick’s remains “a field. With a friend he went to that ground. They first visited the office of the almshouse and were there informed by the clerk that the man in charge of the bi ound had told him that an em coffin had sent there, but that the had not. He then telephoned to the hospital that he would return there. Upon his arrival at the hospital Dr. Purvis Dr. Miller, who is demonstrator of anatomy in the Howard university medical de- partment. Dr. Miller, he said, told him that they got bodies from everywhere, but he nat- urally supposed that most of them were from —— eld. Dr. Purvis, he said, then sent lor the night watchman to prove that Carrick’s jes Bea sent away in the hearse. The latter ec ed the statements of Dr. Purvis so far as seeing the coffin in the hearse. Dr. Miller, he said, then asked him if there were any marks on the body by which he could identify it. He toid him there was; that there was a scar left by a cut across the stomach. After discussing the case some minutes, he said, Dr. Miller got the keys of the dissecting-room, which is on the top floor of the main buildin; of the oo The went with the doctor, an: when the door was opened he was horrified to find the body of his friend ON A DISSECTING TABLE. The face, he said, had been disfigured be- yond recognition, but he identified the body by other marks. On the right arm of the de- ceased, tattooed in India ink, were his initials, “W..C.,” and a design composed of a woman’s head, around which was a wreath of flowers. Then the little finger on his left hand had been mashed, and a peculiar looking nail had grown onit. Dr. Miller raised no objection to his taking the body away and said that he would give ups body cheerfully if it were found in the dissecting room and identified. The following day, Saturday, he sent for the body and it taken to Carrick’s former home in Fairfax county. Friends of the deceased are of the opinion that the body was never taken to potter's field, and make bitter complaints against the hospital authorities, DR. PURVIS’ EXPLANATION. Dr. Purvis, the physician in charge of the hospital, when asked about the matter by a Stak reporter said that friends of the dead man were trying to raise a row for nothing. The facts, he said, simply showed that there had been a grave robbery at [parents field, and the Howard University college was fortunate enough to get the body. The statement that the body had not been taken to potter’s field, he said, was all bosh. Carrick, he said, was brought to the hospital on the 11th inst. a ver; sick man. He was unable to give the ph; cians any information concerning his friends, but in a few days he rallied and gave the names of two friends. Dr. Glennon sent them a pos- tal notifying them of the serious illness of the or No one came to see him, and on Mon- y of last week he died. The body was kept until Wednesday for friends to come, but as none came they were placed in coffin and sent off to the itter’s tield. Then his friends came to the hospital and told of whatthey had learned at the alms house, and one of them said that he was in- formed by the clerk that the coffin which came there empty had been used for kindling wood. The men who called to look after the body said they could identify it, and were taken to the dissecting room. ‘This room, he said, is con- nected with the Howard university and has no connection whatever with the Freedman’s hospital. They claimed to identify the body which was turned over to them. Dr. Purvis here explained the necessity for getting bodies, and said that so far as he knew the bodies ob- tained for Howard university were all obtained from the potter’s field. They would refuse to take a body known to have been stolen from any other cemetery. REGULARLY PURCHASED. Dr. Purvis said that Dr. Miller told him that this body had been purchased from a regular “resurrectionist.” When strangers are brought to the hospital and die there, Dr. Purvis said every effort was made to find their friends as in the present case, Letters are written and if no friends appear the body is buried in potter’s field. If the patient has friends who will purchase a burial site in any cemetery the hospital will furnish the coffin and hearse. Carrick’s friends, he said, could never have found Carrick’s body had they not been per- mitted to to the dissecting-room, and Dr. Purvis said that they were not compelled to let them go there. Dr. Miller, he said, assured the dead man’s friends that he did not get the body from the hospital authorities, but that he purchased it from a resurrectionist in the regular way. 4A CEMETERY RECEIPT, Dr. Purvis says he holds the receipt of the almshouse authorities to show that the body was delivered at the cemetery and buried, besides having the testimony of the two men who took it in the wagon to the cemetery. He said further that there wassome doubt whether the body that was claimed as Carrick’s was really Carrick’s, for, he said, the scar on the abdomen could not ° knot he “that no body remains in “ yw,” he said, no the potter’s field over night. Asa matter of fact, there is a great demand for these bodies and the supply is not equal to it.

Eating by the Alphabet. From the Buffalo Express. “Have you got anything here beginning with ‘k’ that’s good to eat?” inquired a new customer at a well-known local delicacy mar- ket last Tuesday. “How will pickled kidneys answer?” replied the clerk after a moment's thought. “First-rate. Give me a dozen cans, The kitten’s life is saved,” exclaimed the strange patron with enthusiasm. “I told my wife,” he continued, ‘‘that if I failed to send home a kangaroo, dead or alive, before 2 o'clock I should expect to find the kitten served up for supper in the latest Chinese style. But your happy thought saves her. You see we all got tired of eating the same things day after day, and so last month we agreed that during De- cember we would eat up (or rather down) the alphabet, taking one letter a day, with bread, tatoes, tea, and coffee thrown in as staples. i pesake 1 oe inaugurated the dietary system with a bill of fare consisting of apples in many forms, apricots pickled, asparagus, al- monds, and the staples. The next day’s menu was beef, beets, beans, biscuits, buttermilk, bacon, and bon-bons. The following day we feasted on chicken, codfish balls, clams, celery, cucumbers (50 cents each), crabs, cheese, cake, crackers, crullers, carrots, canned currants, canned cherries, citrons, cider, catsup, and candy. Afd so it has gone on. ‘The fifth day would have been a fast day had it not been for eggs, but we made an Easter of it. Yesterday we dined, breakfasted, and supped chiefly on jellies.

Lord Palmerston once said toa friend of mine, who, asa young fellow, was patronized by that statesman, “Never forget that a much- neglected road to success is agreeable manners. The man or woman with manners will make headway in the face of the worst difficulties. Every one is against the disagree- able people, whose best chance lies in secluding themselves as much as they can.” — William might ponder with advantage on these words of Pam. Not having secluded himself, but gone to Vienna and Rome, the allies of his mdfather there would gladly slip from eir alliance with him. The old emperor and the Emperor Frederick bore their positions with simplicity and sweetness. Will- liam II. hears with impatience all opinions that do not march with his own, and is arrogant in putting them down. He has made the emperor ¥ranz Joseph bristle up.

What a baby can do is explained by “Five Talents of Women,” a new work just pub- lished: A baby can beat any alarm clock ever invent ed waking « family up in the morning. It can make more genuine fuss over a simple- = pin, than its mother would over a broken It can fall down oftener and with less provo- cation than the most expert tumbler the circus ring. Give it a chance and it can smash more dishes than the most industrious servant girl in the country, It can choke itself black in the face with greater ease than the most accomplished that was ever executed. It can keep a family in a constant turmoil from morning till night and night till morning without once varying its tune. It can be relied upon to sleep cefully all day when its father is away at business, and cry persistently at night when he is particu- larly sleepy. It may be the naughtiest, dirtiest, ugliest, most fretful baby in all the’world, but you can never make its mother believe it, and you had better not try. It can be a charming and model infant when no one is around, but when visitors are present it can exhibit more bad temper than both of its parents together. .
