A SECT OF CHILD KILLERS.

The Novoe Vremya warns Russian mothers of a new religions see whioh has given several proofs of its existence. In Bostov, on the Don, an officer engaged a middle-aged nurse for his three-year-old son. She was very attentive, and seemed fond of the child, but after two months she suddenly left the situation arid the town. The child began to ail the very' next day, lost its memory, and suffered from continual drowsiness. ' a week later it died without having been really ill. The corpse was placed in the coffin, when a young' Jewess burst into the house, threw herself upon the dead child, and crying bitterly, said, "The same, woman poisoned my; child. She was my nurse before, and now she has murdered your poor boy ! The •woman spoke the tenth. It has been found that in Bostov there is a society of child murderers, who poJson children by means of narcotics. They are instigated to do so by a fanatical woman, who says, "It is every woman's duty to spare the evils of life to as many children as possible, and to make them share in the blissof heaven before the earth bas contaminated their souls.".'
