Her tongue s blistered and | swollen to twice its natural and the | slightest exertion threw her into agonles | of pain. She was unable to move and | for a time fears were felt for her life. Time after time she swooned in pain and it was deemed expedient to telegraph to Captain Nevills, who had gone to Fresno on business of importance. He returned at once to the city and remained until his wife had passed the danger point, when | he went back to Fresno. Before going, however, he declared t.at | he believed that his wife had been ma- | liciously poisoned and he would leave nothing one to punish the offenders. Day after day Mrs. Nevills remained in a precarious condition until yesterday, | when the physician pronounced rer out of danger, although she is still in a very serious condition.

On Thursday she and her aunt| went driving and calling and ate nothing | hich might produce ptomalne polsoning. That day had been one of unusual inter- | est in the Is household. For a day | the affairs of the kitchen ruled the estab- lishment. Cupid had been busy among the servants and two of them, the cook, newly appointed, and the butler, had | launched themselves on the waters of matrimony. And the gossips of neighboring kitchens shook their heads, for it seemed there was a love tragedy as well as a comedy | in the servant host of the Nevills home. | The butler appears to have been breaker of feminine hearts in a way, and the happy possessor of enough affection to shower it upon more than one fair head. And the gossips said that when he won the cook, blonde, buxom and blush- ing, he earned the everlasting hatred of a | housemaid. However that may be, the wedding was announced and the wedding cake, a most mbitious affair, was prepared. The wed- ding supper was to have been served in by permission of the the last moment the but at | servants determined to feast down town. But the wedding cake was left at home, and it was of that cake that Mrs. Nevills and her aunt partook. Soon after both were overtaken by the most painful ill- ness. Mr: evills was by far the worse sufferer, as her aunt soon recovered. ‘Whether or not responsibility should be placed upon the wedding cake no one knows, but Mrs. Nevills has made a 'reso- lution never to enter so thoroughly again into the loving feasts of her servants un- less she has an absolute assurance that love among the domestics has run with something more than proverblal smooth- ness. Dr. Winslow Anderson discussed the affair with the greatest reluctance last night. Professional ethics would not per- mit him, he said, but he declared that Mrs, Nevills had had a Very narrow escape. While evidences pointed to ptomaine poisoning practically similar symptoms ~ would have resuited from arsenic poisoning, JUDGE CONLAN LISTENS TO PLAINT OF THE LEVYS Decides Policeman Was ‘Justified Later in Arresting Them, but Lets Them Go.

Robert 8. Carlisle, an English mining man from Chihuahua, Mexico, was found dead in his bed yesterday afternoon his room at a Mexican hotel at fornia street. The gas jet in tt was turned on full blast and the body was quite cold when it was discovered by Guadalupe Labrada, the owner of the house. Whether the case was one of suiclde will have to be determined by a Coroner's jury. Carlisle had of late been out of funds and drinking heavily, but telegrams found among his belongings made it evi- dent that he could get money easily upon application to his brother in_Chihuahua. | One of the telegrams, under date of Sep- tember 7, read in Spanish as follows: “Yesterday sent money by expres: second telegram, delivered yesterday, after his body had been found, rea “Yesterday at 6 o'clock Caspar = died.: The first message was signed by A.

Rarely has the contest for Archbishop Riordan’'s diamond medal brought into the fleld of essays a better lot than those contributed last night on ‘“Practical Plans for Temperance Work,”w by the young spellbinders of the League of the Cross Cadets, whose friends crowded Metropolitan Hall till there was not room to move an elbow, to hear their sons or brothers declaim in friendly rivalry. There were flve contestants this year: Robert McCarthy of the First district; William Wyand of the Second; James P, O'Brien of the Third; Richard Behan of the Fourth and Gerald Lawler of the Fifth. Each of these five had been suc- cessful in his parish contest and later carried off the silver medal in his district. Richard Bohan withdrew from the con- test on account of business engagements. Archbishop Riordan was to have deliv- ered an address and presented the medal to the winner, but he was too unwell to venture out and_his place was taken by the Very Rev. J. J. Pendergast, V. After the essays had been read the judges—John M. Burnett, Frank J. Mu- rasky and Joseph S. Tobin—retired for a | short consultation. When they returned it was to make Robert McCarthy very proud and happy. The diamond medal was his. The contest this year was exceptionally interesting owing to ithe fact that the contestants were very evenly matched and all on treir mettle. Applause was liberal and a general spirit of good natured fac- tionism was in the air. After a short introductory speech by ‘Walter E. Dorn, president of the League of the Cross, for the order in which they should de- liver their efforts. The first chance fell to Gerald Lawler of the fifth district. He seemed to think that the remedy for t drink habit lay the vietims themselves. “It i{s moral courage that is wanted,” declared the orator. ““This kind of cour- age displays itself in silent effort.”” Then followed James P. O'Brien. His excellent delivery and clear reasoning was warmly applauded. He said in part: “The liquor question should be made a national issue. To insure its success the franchise should be extended to woman. The contest is practically one between the home and the saloon. Woman's interest is centered in all concerning the home.” The speaker recommended the Norwe- gian plan of company saloons modified to suit American conditions. “The use of intoxicants has cost the American nation 360,000,000 within the past ten years,” he continued, “destroyed half a million of lives and degraded count- less millions more. It has populated our insane asylums, orphan asylums and pent. tentiaries, been the mainspring of un- counted murders and made millions of | widows and orphans. We should lend our earnest support to those who are endeav- oring to remove this foul stain upon our civilization.” Robert MeCarthy His delivery was sim and the applause whic fied to his pcpularity. “The present century then came forward. le but very clear, greeted him testl- has witnessed the competitors drew lots | + & & DIAMOND MEDAL OFFERED BY ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN TO LEAGUE OF THE CROSS. + —5 some of the greatest victorles over evils heavy with antiquated prejudices.

The next practical plan would be to visit doctors and gain from them a consent to try to abolish liquors from the houses of their patients.’ The young orator likened the temper- ance movement to a rock hurled over a precipice, gathering momentum as it goes | downward and carrying all before it Norwegian system of company saloons. He urged a gradual weaning from liquor. “With us prohibition has failed,”” he declared, “because it would make a_man out of a boy at one stroke of the pen.” dict, “Billy"” good humor with his laughing song. The of the jury John M. Burnett addressed the audience, telling them that all the es- says were of so high a standard that it had been no light task to decide which battles won,” said Rev.
