DEATH TO DISHONOR.
MRS. MARY WHEELER TRIES THIS
ALTERNATIVE,
But Makes a Very Poor Attempt
OF Suicide and Falls Into the
Grasp of Policeman.

A white woman who gives her name
Ms Mrs. Mary Wheeler, and who says she
comes from Michigan. where abe has re.
spectacle connections, was discovered at
2:3O O'Clock this morning In II lodging
house on Acequia street, near Story's
livery stable. Just us she was about to
take an overdose of laudanum from
vial which she had purchased little
while before at Drpiss' drug store for 30
cents. officer Caldwell arrested her for
vngrancy and locked her in the bat cave
over night. She said the reason she was
going to take the laudanum was because
She would Kill herself rather than enter
house of ill.fame, which hackdriyer
was trying to make her do. She says he
wanted to take her to Gordon's place,
ON East street. At her trial this morn
ing before the court she told the Judge n
really pitiful tale of privniiOn and
trouble since her sojourn In this city.
She came from III paso. where she had
been supporting herself and her baby by
plain sewing. Since her arrival in san
Antonio -four weeks ago. she had tried
many times to get work In private fam
lilies, and even as u cook. but had rot no
work and had been lodging around at
different lodging houses until her bag
gage had become quite scattered. being
held for her bOurd ut the different
places. She declared she was not
prostitute, as the term yagrancy i'm.
plies. and said She would Kill herself be-
lore she would lead life of shame.
When the officer found her she was
trying to find II place for her
baby, which would have no one
to care for 1t after she had killed
herself She had been employed lately
rs waitress mt one of the Military plaza
chile stands, and last night the prOprie-
tor told her he die not care to hire her
any more. She said she could not get
ont of town on the railroads because all
the railroad men looked upon her ms Il
railroad "spotter" or spy, and would not
let her ride free. IL she could get the
Mayor to give her pass to New Braun
icls. or as tar as the Texas Pacific road,
she could get out Of town.
The Recorder dismissed the case
against her and recommended her to 90
to the Mayor and ask him for pass out
Of town.
Mrs. Wheeler is a comely-enough look
ing woman, although her sOiled lawn
dress l. rather u drawback to her APP
pearnnce, rs Is also her dirty-looking
little child. which she brought to the
Recorders court with her.

NJ Combe -d'Alma, member OF the Agrf
cultural society OF La Gironde, has sue
cecded In producing Illuminating gas by the
distillntion OF sea rim. n. D'Alma was en-
gagged at st. Nornc ia tho production of a
special kind OF macndam; and part OF tho
profess consisted in baking clay. This was
effected by the aid OF the Pine wool found
In the district, which formed excellent fuel
1t ccurred u NJ. D'Almn, however, that it
would be more advantageous to employ not
the wood itself, but the gas which
might be produced by its distilIafion. He
therefore at once btainel permission to con
duct a number Of experiments Mt the gas
works in the town, and eventually succeeded
in producing a gas with which he supplied
the public and a considerable proportion OF
tho private lights for two nights in sue
cession.
On tho first night the effect was not alto
gether satisfactory owing to the mnterial
used being sodden and Of bad quality; but on
the second occasion the lighting was entirely
successful The event caused some excite
ment among the municipal authorities. who
appointed a commission to vouch for
the success Of the experiment This they did,
and have since expressed a desire that tho
matter be taken up by tho municipalities Of
those places in the southwest of France
where this particular species OF pinewood Is
70 be found, with the view to its profitable
utilization for gas making purposes NJ.
D'Alma has satisfactorily proved that the
distillation Of pinewood In closed vessels is
thoroughly practicable; and he believes that
tho resulting gas could DO produced at a
much lower cost thnn that OF ordinary coal
gas, while the sale OF the residual products
charcoal, tar, and an acid liquid would do
fray the whole expenses Of manufacture.

Gen. John c. Fremont was known ia his
youth as athe pathfinder and in his old age
the exploring fever again seizss- him. IL
seems that a 1900. 900 acre tract of land in
northeastern Mexico has been purchased by
a syndicate Of capitalists h general Is a
member OF the syndicate, and will go to
Mexico at the head Of mn exploring party to
survey the tract and 1x its boundaries
Negotiations are now going on with English
capitalists for tine sale OF tho lands, and 1t Ia
proposed to bring over from Europe a
colony Of 1900 persons TO settle on the tract
There will be room enough for numerous
colonies as the tract Il larger in extent than
thu combined states OF Massachusetts, Con-
~ncct'cut and Rhode Island.
Tno capitalists and European c~olonisfs who
prup,se 70 make this adventurous dash into
Mexico are making n big mistake. All
t,ings considered It would not cost them any
mere TO COLOMBO certain fertile and salubri-
Gus tract in tho southern states whore they
would 10 among friends and enjoy the
protection OF just laws. In Mexico they will
find both man and nature un~friendly, and
after they havo toilsd for years improving
their new homes they may be compelled to
abandon them TO their mongrsl and semi
