SEEKING A HOME FOR MAE CARR.

Mae CARR, 5-year-old daughter of William CARR, condemned
to be hanged at Liberty December 17 for the murder of his 3-year-
old daughter Belle, is in the city, in charge of Rev. E. A. POWELL,
a representative of the Children's Home society of Missouri.
CARR consented to the adoption of the child by the society a few
days ago, and the Rev. Mr. POWELL is anxious to secure for her
a home in a good family. Mae is a pretty and intelligent child, and
exhibits none of the traits of her inhuman father. She is said to
resemble very much her mother, who died two years ago, and who
was, according to her acquaintances, a woman of unusually lovable
traits of character.

Rev. E. A. POWELL will be in Kansas City for several days. He
may be seen at the office of D. ELLISON, Beals building, Ninth and
Wyandotte streets, president of the local branch of the Children's
Home society.
