The method employed by Mrs.
Mary White, of Chicago, who recent
ly took her own life at the advanced
age of IS years, shows that the
housewives ever-present idea Of neat
ness was uppermost, even when, in
her overwhelming dependency, her
mind was filled with thoughts Of
death. Before cutting her throat,
Mrs. Wilson removed the carpet from
the floor, rolled it up and put it away,
so that it should not be stained with
her blood. She then deliberately sat
down and held her head over wash
basin, when she inflicted with razor
the terrible blow that nearly severed
her head from her body and released
her troubled spirit from its mortal
prison.

LONDON. Sept 1.-THE Times, in .
leading article, says it is difficult to avoid
the suspicion that the Canton riot was d.
rectly connected with the irritation
caused by French operations in Tonquin.
The time has arrived to more efiectuaily
secure British lives and property in China.
The Chinese cannot be too forcibly i'm
pressed with the truth that all foreigners
are not Frenchmen, and that the enor-
nous interests Of England be vigilantly
protected. We can no longer postpone q
substantial reinforcement OF our Meet IN
China. There exists no reason to believe
that either France or China is in q mood
to invoke England's mediation. The
French have not reached the preliminary
stage Of realizing the p~erilous course they
have entered upon.
