Lucchesi's standing among musicians is a

immediate and ample protection. The
companies OF the First and Third infan-
try stationed at Ada and Fergus Falls
will be- sent into the Indian country, but
not until the weather moderates, as the

that IL was not ready TO discuss any

This Is the whole history of the trade

a Private school Pupil Dies of Poison In
Her Room.
NEW YORK. Feb. Miss Helen Potts,
daughter of Geo. III. Potts, a wealthy
Mtlroad and mine owner. who lives NJ
Ashbury Park, died suddenly this morn
Ing In a private boarding school from
morphine poisoning. She had been
troubled with nervousness and insomnia
some time, and last night took capsule
supposed TO contain twenty-five grains
OF quinlne aud one grain OF morphine,
which had been prescribed by Carlyle
w. Harris, a medical student,
friend OF herself asd family. Soon
after retiring her roommate was
awakened by heavy breathing, and Miss
Potts was found almost unconscious
Medical aid was summoned, and she ral-
lied by 3 o'clock and was thought To be
out OF all danger, but when aid was
again summoned a couple OF hours later.
at recurrence of the attacks, all eff
forts were found unavailing, and she
died at / o'clock this morning. There
are several theories as TO the death. An
inexperienced prescription clerk may
have substituted morphine for Quinine:
n whole grain OF morphine might have
got into one capsule or the girl may
have had the prescription renewed and
died of the cumulative action of large
number OF capsules. thorough In
xestigation will be made. The family is
connected with the most prominent
families OF Pennsylvania and New Jer-
seY.
