hope he will recover, but if he does he
must leave me alone"
Mrs. Mcneil was married some time last
fall and three weeks after the wedding she
had her husband arrested upon charge
of assault and he was put under peace
bonds. It was shown that previous to
that the couple had been living together
as man and wife, Many subsequent fights
and arrests followed, and in each case the
evidence made it appear that one was as
much TO blame as the other.
The afternoon of April "a, last, the
couple met on the street in front of the
hotel, and both were armed with rawhide
riding whips. As soon as they saw each
other they rushed together and COM
menced to apply the whips with all the
vigor possible. officer Frank Krebs took
the couple up to police headquarters,
where they were jailed upon a charge of
fighting. Mcneil gave bail, but his wife,
having no money, was kept locked up. At
5 O'Clock in the morning, April %, after
having spent the night weeping, she was
taken out, and Jailer Noble
went down to the hotel with her,
where, she said, she could get
some money. She went into a room
and closed the door. The jailer waited
outside, and after a while he knocked.
Receiving no response he burst in the door
and found the woman lying on the bed.
Near her was an empty phial and on the
stand was this note, written to her physi-
clan in pencil:
April %, $40 q. m.
Dr. l have suffered insults and blows
until my heart is nearly broken, but l cannot
bear public disgrace. Death is preferable.
Don't let them hold post-mortem. 1t is not
necessary. / have taken ten grains OF morphine.
Good bye, my friend, MAY MCNEIL.
The jailer rushed for doctor. and in a
few days the would-be suicide was well
and paid fine in the municipal court for
fighting.
The statement that Mcneil wanted to
give bail for his wife, but his attorney dis
suaded HIM from doing so, is denied by
Mr.. Corliss, who represents the wounded
man in legal way. He does not know if
Mcneil was willing to have HE wife bailed
out or not, but says he had no converse
ton with his client about the matter.

The ladies in the cast of "Men and
Women" which is to be at the Seattle

prettiest gowns ever brought to the Coast.
A Seattle lady who saw the company in
San Francisco describes some of the cos
tunes as follows:
Among the prettiest gowns in town may be
mentioned those worn by the ladies in the cast
of 'Men and Women" at Proetor's.
Maud Adams first act costume is especially
charming in its Quaintness and girlish SIM
plicity. II is simple Gretchen of dark blue
faille, with an under pefticoat of white broad
cloth, edged with three rows of narrow blue and
gold braid. The Gretchen harness, worn over
white mule, is also of blue and gold
Miss Adams ball dress is of Nile green faille,
covered with the same shade OF mousselline de
sole: it is gathered very full at the waist, and
falls loosely to the bottom OF the SKIRT which is
finished with ruche of pink roses and rose
leaves. The round bodice, cut low at the neck,
is made Of the faille, entirely covered with
the mousseline, which is shirred very
full around the neck, and also about
two inches above the waist line, down to the
line itself long, narrow spray of green
leaves commencing at the left shoulder, falls
diagonally across the front to the waist line on
trimmed with green leaves. This gown is charm
ingly suited to an ingenue.
Eta Hawkins walking gowns are quite
stunning" The first is of tomato-red hen
rietta cloth, slashed with an edging of black
lynx. The effect is striking. The second OF

Played 5000 Years After Burial, rhoy
show That Egyptians Had oar Scale.
a number Of eminent musicians were
invited TO listen to a highly interesting
lecture delivered recently to the ROYAL
Academy students by Mr. T. l. South
gate, upon ancient Egyptian musical in
struments in general, aud upon the
double pipes recently discovered by Mr.
Flinders Petrie in the tomb at Kahun in
particular From the fact that the
flutes shown In the fresooes were OF va
rious lengths Mr. Southgate conjectured
that the Egyptians almost from the time
Of Moses must have had knowledge Of
some sort of harmony, while as in one
OF the frescoes seven flute peri rmers
were simultaneously playing an eighth

80 bars rest
Sill more interesting was the exhibit

the lady's sarcophagus at Kahun aud in

Mr.. ]. Finn, they gave practically the
exact notes Of our diatonic scale, thus
proving-in every sense Of the term to
actual demonstratiOu-that our scale
was known to the Egyptians many CEN
turtles before the Greeks, from whom 1t
had erroneously been supposed we bor-
rowed it. No attempt was made to per-
form upon the double flute, and, indeed.
If ever the two were played together the
art is now lost But upon a copy Of
one of these ancient flutes Mr.. Finn
performed a very ancient funeral dirge
entitled "The Song of Sonus The lone
of these instruments, we may add, in
no way resembles that of the flutes of
to-day. It to a certain extent recalls
the drone of the bagpipe, although one
prominent musician irreverently lik
ened it to the sound of the small tooth

hoods days
Many other copies of ancient instru.
ments we're tried, among them replica
of a flute discovered two years ago by
a French savan0, with II holes, the ap-
proxinate date being 1873 B c., that is
to say, during the period that the Israeli
ties were still in Egypt To stop II holes
in flute would seem to demand that
one of the hands should have an extra
finger; but Mr.. Finn, after many trials,
has succeeded in doing it, aud the notes
given were practically those Of our chro-
matte scale. From these aud other
facts Mr.. Southgnte, in the peroration
to his very valuable lecture. contended
that the tonality of the ancient E SypL-
ians was the source of our own music,
and certainly none of the musicians
present were willing to contradict a
doctrine which seems quite feasible

THE BABY INCUBATOR.
It Gives Strong and Hearty Life to Many
Infants.

It Gives Strong and Hearty Life to Many
lnf.nts.
The "couveuse" in the Philadelphia
Women's Medical College is an institu-
tion much in demand. 1t is occupied
constantly by some tiny tenant that is
not strong enough to live in the open
air, and it was not long ago that dupli-
cate "couveuse had to be- imported
from Paris, The two are now in full
operation, turning out strong, whole
some babies
The French word "couveuse means
"a brooder, and is applied to the little
incubator. in which weak Infants are
put until they gro strong enough to
live like common babies and breathe the
air of the rest of mankind. Il is very
simple apparatus, easily made, easily
manipulated, and serves an excellent
purpose. 1t is q plain hard wood box.
28x20x15 inches in dimensions Six
inches from the bottom there is floor
through which there is an opening made
about three inches wide aero S the foot
end. o. this floor the nest for the little
tenant is made of thick bat of cotton
covered with the softest flannel The
top of the box fits tightly, and is made
Of glass. AT tue head end Of the box
there is an open register three inches in
diameter, which admits the air into the
lower chamber of the "couveuse.
This air passes over five bottles Of hot
water placed in the basement apartment,
and goes up through the opening in the
floor at the foot At this opening three
good sized sponges are suspended on
wire. The sponges are kept damp and
moisten the air which comes up from off
the hot bottles. Over the head of the
baby Is little chimney in the top Of the
lid, through which this air passes out.
In this chimney is little tin indicator.
which is moved constantly by tile cur
rent of air. When it stops the attending
nurse knows that the circulation of the
air has been shut of.
A little baby looks as happy on its
bat of cotton as a bird would in its nest
The temperature is kept anywhere from
80 to 80 degrees, according to the
strength of the infant, the weaker ones
having the hotter surroundings When
the head nurse lifted the little fellow out
of its warm, moist bed, 1t kicked about
in very lively fashion.
This pioneer baby incubator was
brought to Philadelphia from Paris over
a year ago, and it has never been with
out an occupant The new one Is also
in constant use. Not a single infant
that has been brought up in either of
them has died, and there have been q
great many housed there. The treat
ment must be very wholesome, for the
head nurse said that the average in
crease in the weight of the infants is
about 30 grams daily.
