A wIFE'S FATAL SLEEP.
Her Husband Burned 10 Death
While She SluInbered at His
Bedside.

A shocking affair occurred at
Hampton mines, on the outskirts of
Scranton, Friday morning. William
Cook, who was stricken by smallpox
a few days ago, was dying. His wife
and babe we're in the same room on
the ground floor. Mrs. Cook placed a
lighted candle in the hand of her hus-
band and then knelt by his bedside to
pray. No one had visited the house
for days. Overcome by fatigue she
fell asleep, and when the candle had
spent itself it burned through the
rigid fingers of the dying man,
setting the bed clothes on fire.
Mrs. Cook started up, but fainted
on the floor at the sight. A
crowd Of neighbors gathered at the
window outside and looked 10, but
wouldn't venture across the thresh-
hold Of the plague stricken house. At
last two men more courageous than the
rest arrived at the house, burst open
the door and carried out the suffocat-
ing mother and child. Then the body
of Cook was removed and presented a
frightful spectacle, the flesh dropping
from the bones. The fire was extin
guished with difficulty. Mrs. Cook
has SO far recovered as to tel the par
ticulars of the unhappy affair. She
says she had not slept for several
days before the occurrence, and was
completely worn out for lack of rest
when she knelt beside her husband.
They we're German Catholics, and the
lighted candle was placed in the
hand of the husband as a symbol Of
the immortal light toward which the
soul was going

THE break in railroad connections
caused by high water played havoc
with our exchange list. Some Of the
Nashville papers of last week only
reached this Office to-day. Whether
there is really any excuse for such de-
lay and irregularity is exceedingly
doubtful. Travel was diverted to
another route than the usual one, but
has been uninterrupted. There is a
screw loose somewhere. Yesterday
we received the American Of last Sat-
urday. To-day the World of last Sat,
urday came to hand. Yet we have
seen business men direct from Nash

within tWenty-four hours every day

or private corporation would manage
business as loosely as the agents OF
the government. There is really no
earthly excuse for it.

Cotton Seed aOIive on.

L. r. Evening Ledger.l
On the ground that our cotton seed
oil is used to adulterate olive oil,
Italy has increased the duty on cotton
seed oil from six per cent to twenty
per cent, and this it expects, we pre-
sumo, will operate as prohibition
tariff. The probability is that the
objection is not so much to the adul
teration as to the rivalry. In re-
ferring to this matter the Phia-
delphia Press prints the following
pithy paragraph:
1t is a statistical fact that increas
ing quantities Of crude cotton seed oil
are shipped abroad, refined, brought
back and sold as best quality olive oil,
at olive oil prices. 1t is no longer a
secret that tons Of sardines are put up
in cotton seed oil, aud it is contended
that, whether for the preservation Of
fish or for table use, cotton seed oil is
in no way inferior TO the oil of the
olive The industry is growing in the
South, where there are already sixty
seven cotton seed oil mills, whose pro-
duct for last year, valued at 81, 800, 600,
was mainly exported to foreign re-
fneries. The South now has nine re-
fneries, and the greater part Of this
product, too, is exported. Among
other things the oil is used as a sub.
stitute for lard. for illuminating pur-
poses and for mixing with linseed oil.
The industry is new, but it is yigor-
Gus and is destined to add immensely
to the resources of the cotton States
IL is estimated that there are fifteen
millions Of gallons Of cotton seed OF

Of young woman teaching school in
Marion county, and who has man
forty years of age attending the school.
He missed his lessons, whereupon his
feminine teacher announced her in
tention Of opening the pores of the
skin with switch, to see if she could
learn him something in that way. He
fatty declared that he would not take
a whipping, and would quit school
first. Finally she left it to vote ofthe
scholars as to whether she should
whip him. The youngsters were
unanimously in favor of war. The
young woman then gathered the
bearded scholar by the collar, and to
his utter astonishment gave him a
sound thrashing. Heis now disguised

THE premature and unwarranted
proclamation of the National Board Of
Health that smallpox is epidemic
throughout the country is Of a piece
with the ridiculous capers Of that
body last year when it tackled the
yellow fever problem. There is one
essential difference, however, this
time. There was no yellow fever
south in 1880 or 1881, and the Fal
stafian preparations 10 fight yellow
jack in yawls and steamboats, injured
only the commerce of the South. This
year there Is really considerable small
pox in localities north Of the Ohio
river; it is possibly an epidemic at a
few places. The proclamation makes
no exceptions, but notifies the world
that the disease is on epidemic at
large. The Board Of Health becomes

sity in proportion to the bigness o.
