Confession on the Cronin Murder.

Frank Woodruff, alias Frank Black, has
been taken into camp by Capt. Setback, of
Chicago and he has told the whole story of
his connection with DR.. Cronins murder.
According to his confession, he was directed
by those who had charge of that part Of the
conspiracy, and whose names Capt. Setback
reserves for reasons that are palpable to go
to Dinan's livery stable where he would OBJ
tain horse and wagon. He had already
been instructed to drive the outfit to the
neighborhood of the Carlson cottage, and he
also knew for what purpose he was to go
there. Woodruff arrived at the cottage
about twenty minutes before DR.. Cronin
was driven up and placed his horse and
wagon at point near the cottage where
he could keep his eyes on the
front steps. He saw the white horse rig con-
tanning DR.. Cronin and his conductor arrive,
man who was known as Williams opened the
front door of the cottage and gave the sig
nal by stamping g his foot on the wooden porch
Woodruff at osfce drove up, and, assisted BY
the third man, she trunk was loaded into the
wagon. The ito men followed the trunk and
directed Woodruff, who continued as the
driver, to drive eastward to the lake to a
certain point which Woodruff has designated
to Capt. Setback. The wagon headed for
the lake, and in it's depths the trunk and it's
contents would have been deposited had
not the interruption come from the Lake
view policemen. This smashed the original
plans of the two men. and immediate steps
| were taken to get out of the officers way.
| This was done by taking a circuitous route,
which again brought them to the @Evanst on
road. They had now been> driving for nearly
an hour with their CHASTITY load, and one of
| the men suggested the sewer. A stop was
| made at the Fifty; ninth street intersection of
| the Evanston road. The top was taken off the
manhole on the southeast cornar and the
trunk lifted from the wagon. II was then a
new and unexpected difficulty presented it
SELF While itwas possible to drop the trunk
with the body into the lake, it became ply
steal imposibiity to thus dispose OF the
load in the manhole. 1t was resolved to
/ take the body out OF the trunk, drop the
! body in the catch basin and to return with
| the trunk to the cottage and burn it. But
| when the trunk was to be unlocked it was
found that the key had been lost. Williams
| said there was no time to be lost. and kicked
| in the lid of the trunk The three lifted the
body out and deposited it in the sewer as ii
] was found.
Detective Coughlin, P. O.. Sullivan. the ice

indicted by the grand jury to-day for the
murder of Dr.. CrOnin.

THE Smithsonian Institution,
Washington, D. c., has a special
quarter for live animals, which for a
long time has been infested with
rats. Captain Weedin, who has
charge OF the animal, has made a
valuable discovery, by means Of
which he is rapidly gettingrid OF the
pests. He noticed that the rats per-
sistenly raided hestock Of sunHower
seed, which were used for food for
certain Of the birds, and acting on
the hint he baited his rat traps
with the seed. The bait acted like a
charm, and next morning every trap
held from 10 to 15 rats.

CLEAG!NOUS FROGS.
They Live, on Lubricating Oil and Grow
Immensely Fat and Juicy.


Immensely Fat and Juicy.
The bullfrogs residing in the vicinity of
McCanon's lake. says the st. Paul Pioneer.
Press, have discovered novel feeding
ground in which they fare sumptuously and
fattcn prodgiously, It. is in the dark base.
ment of the water works pumping station,
among the great pipes that connect with
the engine, and the feast that IL there
spread for them consists of the lubrcating
oil that drips to the stone floor from the
joints Of the ponderous machinery above.
Tho frogs are very fond of this oleaginous
food. They come into the basement win
dows with q bound and live in this land of
plenty the year round. Martin Feist, the
engineer, does not disturb them except to
hunt them out Of their hiding places to ex-
hibit them to visitors. On the contrary, the
engineer likes to watch them grow. They
attain an enormous size and soon get very
plump and juicy But for the pleasures of
their lazy, luxurious life they eventually
pay dearly. There is a frog. catcher wander
ing through that district, and when he
comes along to McCauOn's Lake tho engi.
neer permits him to go into the pump-house
and take his pick from among the latest
and most olcaginous OF these green tenants
of the pump house cellar. The frog-catcher
brings their hind legs to st. Paul and sells
them to the hotels and restaurants, where
they tickle the palates of epicurcs. The
diners upon the frog legs, while praising
the succulence and meatiness of their food,
are not, however, aware that its superior
quality is due to diet of lubricating oil.
The engineer says that the frogs breed in
the basement most prolifcally and that he
is often able to scare up dozens Of them in
their hiding places.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

OF the duties Of husband and wife, one to
the other. the Queen advises the youug mar
ried woman to try and realize when she re-
turns from the honeymoon trip, that holt
day is over, and workaday life has begun.
She need not be unhappy because she is
busy, on the contrary; but she has duties,
and must take Them up, and one Of them is
the happiness of her companion, which is
practically in her hands.
To begin with, try and arrange your
household to suit his taste and wants study
his ways and wishes and let him sec you do
so. One of the virtues man greatly af-
focts is punctuaity, therefore try and cult
waite it. Always be ready in time, and have
all your arrangements ready. Ii he is late,
wait, of course. But when he sees you wait
he will seldom, if ever, keep you waiting
II men grievc or annoy you, try and take it
patiently, and as q mistake on their part;
never treat it Us q willful unkindness or in
attention, and above all remember men are
not as women, and things that set woman's
nerves all a-tiugle and send the hot blood
straight to her head or heart, are passed by
by men with utter unconcern, even II they
chance to notice them, which they often do
not i'll liCt, lew tnlHuS aStOnlSll luell LuOTe
about women than tho way the latter resent
and get excited over words and events the
former consider the merest triAes.
Remember, il your husband is to like
home, he must be taught to look for his
comfort there. If he is smoker, don't say
he may smoke all oyer the house, but fit
him up some tiny corner where he can have
his pipes and his wrltingtable his room,
to be invaded by no one, not even by your
self, without his permission. Many nerv-
Gus, overworkcd man, whose temper Is
burden to himself and all around him, would
be softened and become genial if he knew
that cosy little den awaited him at home,

meet him with pleasant smile

A WATER TELESCOPE.
How 70 Mako an Instrument with Which
You Can See Under Water.

You Can See Unuer WAFER
No doubt good many OF our boys and
girls are ignorant OF the fact that they eau,
with very little trouble and ut almost no cx-
pense, construct an instrument with which
they can plainly see what is going on under
the water over which they sail their boats.
The very idea Of such q thing Is attractive,
and the st. Louis Post-Dispatch tells how 1t
Gan be done.
The water telescope may be made Of wood
or Of tin, whichever you prefer, and we will
describe both. The tin is better, because 1t
is lighter and more easily handled. Its
manufacture is very simple Got tin
