THE POISONED BRIDAL FEAST.
The Bride Being Absent Takes Dose
Of Arsenic With Suicidal Intent.

Vi AIbNhiS WIN ouASiobi AheOhS'
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 27-There were
more developments In the Bohemian pois-
ing case last evening. Mrs. Martin, the
bride, who was OPPORTUNITY absent from
the poisoned feast, took dose Of arsenic
with suicidal intent. Physicians were at
once summoned. When they reached
Mrs. Martin she was in terrible agony.
Antidotes were administered without re-
suit, the woman relapsing into a state Of
coma. There is no hope OF her recovery.
A half cmptied box OF the poison was
found near the house and another dis
covered in Mrs Martins room. Various
theories are advanced as 10 the reason for
the crime. One is that the boy, Smsko,
was the agent of the Tilted lover OF Mrs
Martin. and that he had put the poison in
the flour. This, il is said, explains why
Mrs. Martin did not take supper with the
rest Of the party. Nothing definite has
been learned, however.

Leprosy is. Contagious.
From the Chicago Tribune.

A recent letter from Honolulu to the
State Department has some interesting
news for medical men and scientists.
It seems to settle in the affirmative the
disputed question as to whether leprosy
is contagious. The writer describes a
case which leads to this conclusion.
Some years ago a condemned murderer
at Honolulu had hissentence committed
to imprisonment for life ON the condi-
ton that be allow himself to be moe
ulated with leprosy. The suggestion
was his own. He was willing to
take the chances of a living death
with the hope of ultimate pardon. The
experiment was made under the direc-
ton of German physicians, who inoeu-
lated the subject with the germs of lep-
rosy. Every precaution was taken to
keep the man from the possibility OF
destroying the experiment. For three
years not the faintest sign OF the dis
ease could be found, and some of the
doctors believed that the correctness of
the non-contagious theory would be
proven. But within the last year the
evidences of the disease have appeared,
and now they have reached such a
stage that the man is beyond all ques-
tiOn q laper
