A Morher's Awful Crime.
CHICAGO, June 10.

When Casper Seybaldt, . baker, re-
turned home this morning from his
nights work he was met at the door by
his wife Mary. She was Enthusiastically y
dressed in white with ribbons and
flowers. She smilingly invited him to
enter. "Bee the children" she said ::
"They are all dead. See how pretty
they are" The man looked about hin
and beheld his four children lying on q
table with their arms folded, three of
them were dead and one was breathing
her last. They were neatly dressed.
Their hair was combed and tied with
ribbons, their frocks were ornamented
with bows of bright blue, and in each
little hand was a bouquet. The Oldest
was IL years old, the next 7, the next
2, and the youngest was babe of four
months.
As soon as Seyboldt could, he notified
a neighbor, and doctor was summon.
ed. When he arrived the children were
all dead, and the mother was In her
last agonies. She died a few minutes
later. The baby was poisoned first and
laid out for burial. Then came the lit
tie girl Annie. Next Antonio was
given the fatal drug, and then the ell
dest girl, Matilda.
From number of notes written by
Matilda it appears Mrs. Seyboldt talk
ed the matter over with her, and got
her consent to the tragedy. Several
are addressed to her sch0olpates on
childish matters, and two to her father.
One says: "Forgive me. We will
have to leave you. Mamma thought 1T
was the best we could do" The 9th er
asks to bury them decently, and tells
him where she leaves money to buy
flowers. One addressed to a schoolmate
says:
"Mother was always sick, you know,
and thought of dying often, and of how
we would be treated, and so thought it
best for all of us to die at once, and
bought something to kill us--baby first,
Annie second, Tony third, / after, and
,hen mother We did not suffer much,
and now we are all out of trouble"
1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Sey-
Doldt did not live in entire harmony;
hat since the birth of her last child |
Mrs. Seyboldt has not been in good |
health, and it is believed that despon
lency was the cause or fer acts.

The Sultana Valdez is at the bottom
Of every scheme. and dominates her
sovereign son to such an extent that
every pasha courts her favor. A great
scandal and an amusing scene took
place when the Empress Eugene Wis

Ineompat1b1lity ofTemper.

A short time ago married couple
in Illinois, who had lived together
forty years and given the world =
bakers dozen of child ren, disagreed 80
seriously tha. the wife sued for a di-
vorce on the ground of incompatibility
of temper. A rare coincidence OF pro-
fessional decency caused counsel on
both sides to agree upon an endeavor
to reconcile the couple, and the Judge
promised to assist. So when the case
was called each lawyer declared the
willingness of his client to do what
ever was honorable and proper, the
Judge followed with a manly address,
and auddently the husband and wife
arose, shook hands and departed
together for home. Thousands Of
divorces might be prevented In the
same manner, for in conjugal life in
compatibility Of temper is merely a
legal term for indefensible selfshness,
and mere instant. of faint feeling will

The thick part of the leaves are eaten
baked or boiled, and the sweet taste
of the inner portions makes these
leaves much sought after for tood.
