Mary Anderson an Ex-Actress.

Mary Anderson an Ex-Actress.
There is assurance from Mary An
derson conveyed in a letter over her
own signature that she has decided
positively eve to act again. An
American managers agent sought
her out at her English home less than
q month ago to make an offer of
50. 200 a week for her individual
services during a tour OF three months
next season. She refused even to see
him and he went away without hav-
ing exchanged a word with her. His
card was returned to him by the
servant with the verbal message that
the lady did not care to meet him.
The ex-actress knew his errand and
the amount OF money temptation
which he brought, for he had com
municated with her byletter. An ex-
PLANTATION OF her singular conduct is
given by an intimate friend OF her
husband. Throughout the fulfilled
portion of her abruptly terminated
tour in this country, when she en-
acted two characters in "a Winters
Tale with great success, her
system became seriously deranged, the
disturbance taking the form of a re-
tlHlOuo dNtiSiOA 10 bilt otdAC. I'M
feeling became SO serious that at
length she deemed her soul in danger
il she continued in her profession.
That was the reason why she ter
minated the tour abruptly. Her man
ager had a good S for damages
against her, of course. and notlong ago
she settled his claim. Under the IN
fluenee of a quiet, restful life she has
regained much of her former health
of body and mind, but her aversion to
theatricals remains unchanged, and
she has not witnessed a stage per-
Torrance since she gave up acting.
She declares that she will never again
see Others act, much less act herself.
That would seem to deprive us
beyond hope of the greatest of Aneri-
can actresses. There has been an i'm
preston that, after a prolonged holt
day, she would return to the stage to
reap the great harvest of dollars
which would have grown for her, but
the most persistent doubters of her
sincerity must now believe that she is
really al ex-actress.

to make themselves general useful at

has neve been a year in the history OF
New York when balls occurred in pri-

Have Your Cellar Dry and Aired.
We will first direct our steps to the
lowest apartment of our residences
the cellar. Much has been said in
reference to its cleanliness, and how
much respect we owe to this necessary
portion of our households. Many
women are in the habit of placing all
kinds of rubbish in this apartment,
little thinking that most of the air
which they breathe in their upper
chambers has first passed through the
cellar, and been vitiated by all foul
and decaying substances. In order
TO convince those who are skeptical of
the truthfulness of the assertion, we
need only to advise them to close all
upper room doors and to boil onions
in their cellars. The odor of this
vegetable will be ~perceptible from
parlor to attic, and this proves be-
yond question that much sickness is
propogated in this manner.
Dryness and ventilation are particu-
larry necessary, as many cases OF fever
and diphtheria can be traced to this
neglect. Fruits and vegetables, and
indeed every article of corrosive prop
critics, are more apt to decay If left
in a place where the surroundings are
damp. The absolute necessity of a
clean, dry cellar requires us to white
wash all walls and ceilings at least
twice a year, and to place some lime
and charcoal in different receptacles
as often as the feeling of dampness
can be experienced. These articles
are recommended to purify the air as
we'll as to absorb moisture.-Dr. John
SheppmaH in Halls Journal ofHealth.

The Murder Trial at Abingdon, Va.


The announcement by the commonwealth
attorney in the case Of DR.. Baker, on trial at
Abingdon, Va, for poisoning his wife, that
their chief witness, DR.. W. H Taylor, state
chemist, who analysed the body of Mrs. Baker,
would be examined yesterday caused the court
room to be crowded early in the morning and
public interest to reach the highest tension
Mrs. Lou Gilmer, the first witness testified
that she had nursed her father during his ill
ness and had administered the capsules before
spoken Of. Her statement corroborated other
evidence as to their effect on Mr.. Gilmer. Dr.
". +. Barr and DIR. w. Phillips were exam
ined on the particulars of the exhuming of
Mrs. Bakers body. DR.. Barr also identified
the three bottles which the commonwealth
attorney had recovered from Mrs. Giimer at
the time Of her arrest and which we're alleged
to have contained the poison prescribed by
Baker for Mrs. Gilmer. W. II. Taylor, state
chemist. who was employed to make an analy-
sis of Mrs. Bakers stomach, then took the
stand. He testified minuteiy TO three different
analyses he made, which proved conclusively
to him that the body contained arsenic in
large quantities. The testimony for the de-
Tense will begin today. The value Of DIR. Tay-
lor's testimony is problematical as yet. One
point that his examination settled was that
Mrs. Baker would, had she lived, have become
a mother in about two months. From analysis
Of portion Of the liver he was convinced that
the body contained arsenic. To offset this evil
dence the defense, it is stated, will prove that
the arsenic was contained in tho embalming
fluid. The accused still retains his Accus-
toned composure and cheerfulness.
