AL AGAINST MRS, BO Ohemist Whe Made Examinations for Bloodstains Gives Strong Evidence for the State.

Woman Who Was Erouzht to Grief om a Shopving Tour She was a worthy old lady, who} loved to help people, and when visit- ing London liked to goshopping alone | and x.urn ‘home loaded with gifts for , her iriends, One day, however, says London Tit-Bits, she appeared empiy- handed and aparently much upset, and this was what she said: | “Well, 1 suppose I may as well tell you. Perhaps it will make me feel | better. 1 had been looking at some Have Been Clennsed Except by Chem: | ¢}ozks ai White’s, and had about de- teals end by Belling in @ Vat. Washington, Nov. 30.—The room oc- cupied by the criminal court in which Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine is undergoing trial presented somewhat the appear- amce of a junkshop from the fact that a number of the belongings of Ayres’ room in the Kenmore hotel were exhibited. These included the blood-stained carpet which covered the floor, Ayres’ two trunks and a sec- tion from the inner part of the wall of the room belonging under the window, showing blood upon plaster and washboard. The wrapper worn by Mrs. Bonine on the night of the was also shown. Dr. Edward aeffer, the chemist who made a rch for blood on Mrs. Bonine's pper and analyzed the blood on other articles in Ayres’ room, testi- fied that he had examined the wrap- per with care and had failed to find aay indication whatever of blood, “I did not find a spot as big as a pin's head,” he said. District Attorney Gould asked: ‘In case of a struggle between a large person and a small one in which the larger had been so wounded that blood poured over the smaller per- son’s shoulder and the two had fallen to the floor together, would it have been possible to cleanse the garment from the blood that would have got- ten on it?” “It would have been pos- able to do so by the use of chem- icals and by boiling in a vat,” replied the witness. “By this process all traces of blood can be removed,” “Would ordinary washing take it ent?” “I think not.” “If the garment had been recently washed could you it had not been washed.” O CONTROL SCHOOL SUPPLIES ther of Senator Teller Heads a New “Community of Interests” Syndicate Organized in Chicago Chicago, Nov. 30.—A combination of a number of the most important school apparatus dealers of the coun- try has been effected, it is said, by the American Syndicate company. James H. Teller, of this city, a brother of United States Senator Teller, of Col- orado, is mentioned as the leader of the movement. The “community of interests” idea—-the co-operative prin- ciple rather than a trust agreement is the basis of the organization, the main purpose of which, it is claimed, will be to improve existing trade methods which are pronounced to be unsatisfactory to dealers as well as to the public. The aim of the com- bination is understood to be the con- trol of the entire school apparatus business. LARGEST IN THE WORLD. j cided to buy one for Annie—oh, it j was a beauty—when I thought, now, perhapy sie would like that handsome black silk better, so 1 went back» to look at the silk counter. But the cloak was fixed in my mind and I couldn’t give it up, so I strayed once more among the cloaks. One of the dummies had been tilted up against the counter in such a way that the least touch would send the whole ma- chine on the floor, and all those beau- tiful clothes on it would get dusty: so, as it was an casy mutter to straig'iten it up, I just took it up by the waistand lifted it into position again; when— oh, dear I can’t tell the rest—it’s too dreadful.” “Go on, go on! What happened? Did you tear some of the expensive finery?” “No, nothing of that kind, but—it was a live woman, and the look she gave me I shall never forget, if 1 live to be as old as Methuselah!” Aftor the burst of unoontrotlal le laughter that followed this confcssion was over one of the nieces said: “Tell us the rest. What did you dco next?” “T felt faint, and stammered: ‘Ch, excuse me,’ but T couldn’t tell her I had mistaken her fora dummy, and I walked away without buyinganyt ing or caring for anything but to get out of sight.” FIGUREHEADS OF SHIPS.

TO HANDLE LARGE CROWDS. San Francisco Adopts a Simple But Ef- fective Plan. The handling of large crowds in parades and other gatherings is al- ways a difficult matter, San Fran- cisco has solved the problem of keep- ing the streets clear of crowds for pa- rades without the usual cordon of police, and a!so without disturbing pavements by the insertion of poles in the pavement upon which to siting wires. The device was recently illus- trated and described in the Municipal | Journal and Engineer. Metal seck- j ets arc sunk in the street pavement j just outside the curbs and 50 feet ‘apart. They are conical in shape. | These sockets are embedded and sur- rounded. by four inches of concrete. The socket is open at the bottom, per- mittingdrainage. A cast-iron rcinov- able cap fits into the sockets when not in use. Into these sockets when pa- ~rades are held are inserted wooden posts of Oregon pine, and the wire cable is attached to these posts, ively in the state penitentiary for dy-| namiting the tracks of the St. Louis Transit company during the street car strike in 1900.

HARVARD ATHLETE AS NURSE Big-Hearted Student Mears of Oase of Sickness and Distress and Acts Part of Good Samaritan. Harvard's star first baseman and football player, Orville G. Frantz, left his practice on the Harvard campus }and walked two miles through a jdrenching rain to nurse a sick la | borer. | fhe man, Jere Kennedy, was am en- gineer for G. A. Fuller & Co., con- tractors, and was sick with typhoid fever. For a week he kept at his post, running the hoisting engine, but becoming too weak to stand was compelled to go to a doctor, “Sakes alive, man,” said the doctor, when he saw the engineer, “get to the hospi- tal at once, or you will be a dead man.” : “But I can't,” he protes' “T need my wages, because my wife is out in the country under treatment for con- sumption, and my three boys are at flome alone.” Disregarding the doctor's injune- tion, the man tried to find a car for his home in Cambridgeport. Lis fever was 106, and in his efforts he became delirious and lost his way. ‘The Riverside mission rescued hint after he had sat up all night, too sick to lie down, and after he had lett word at a grocery store to fecd his boys when he was dead. Frantz is a member of the Y. M. C. A., which aids the mission, When he heard of the sick man he left his foot- ball practice and hurried to the little house along the river district, He got a doctor and nurse and hired a cook to care for the little boys, the oldest of whom is ten. When Kennedy recovered from de- tirium later and found a six-footer in erimson sweater and cap holding his hand he could not understand, “T thought Harvard boys were just sports,” he said. TESTING KOCH’S THEORY. New York Doctor Begins Care Kx. periments as to Comyn lention of Animal Taoberculosis. Determined to disprove by actual tests, if possible, the dec tion of Dr. Koch, the eminent Berlin special- ist, that human tuberculosis and bo- municable, a most thorough experiment has just been begun in Brooklyn. Dr. George D. Barney is conducting the tests. Dr, Barney, the prime mover in the matter, like many other physicians, refused to accept as well founded Dr. Koch's statement made before the in- ternational tuberculosis co: in London last August. Dr. Ko 1 that time claimed that tubercular bacilli of a cow could not inoculate a human being, contrary to the accepted med- ical view of such conditions, Dr [ar ney said: “If Dr. Koch's statement be true, just consider how much money has been wasted and is still being wasted every day. IT understand the state of New York has already spent something like $2,000,000 in the de- struction of cattle afflicted with tu- berculosis, Immediately after | heard of Dr. Koch's theory 1 determined to test its soundness, as I am convinced that it is wrong. “Selecting a cow and. taking great care that she should be in the best condition of health, we have made several tests to prove that she is in important and PLANS OF OUR NAYY.
