A SAD STORY.

How a Beautiful Young wife Fell
From Grace Through the Use o
1 opium and Stimulants-An outcass
From Home and Friends.
BosToN, April 21.-Katherine A. Law
| renee, who was murdered in Rochester,
N. a., on Sunday last, was about in 1871
| married to DIR. George E. Lothrop, then
proprietor of the Boylston museum in this
city. Her maiden name was Ring, she
was of good family, was possessed of great
beauty and the marriage was clearly love
match. She was surrounded with all the
Injuries of life and for a time their mar
ried life was an extremely happy one. In
1872 twins was born to them and from
that time the young wife secretly began to
resort to the use of opium and stimulants
for which she developed strong ap-
petite. While under their influence she
was wild and violent, but when the de-
lirium passed she was so sad and peni-
tent that her husband had not the
heart to attempt to restrain her liberty.
She was greatly devoted to her husband
and spent much time with him at his the
alter business Office. AS time passed, how
ever, she grew more and more under the
control of liquor and from 1875 to 1877
she led a life of riotous dissipation. DR..
Lothrop never suspected her of worse &C.
ton, and in his large heartedness did every
thing possible to reform her. That, how
and deserted him, and in 1878 he broke up
his home and sent his children out of
town to relative with whom he
arranged for their support. By this
time many reports reached the doc
tors ears of his wife's dissipated actions,
but he paid no attention to them and
continued to do all that was in his
power for her. By consent of the father
she was allowed to visit the children and
sometimes called on them while intoxi-
Gated. In 1882 DR.. Lothrop, having mar
ried again, the twins died within short
time of each other. By advice of his second
wife DR.. Lothrop sent for the mother when
the second one was taken ill and she came
to its death bed. In Mrs. Lothrop's arms
the child died, while the divorced woman
stood speechless and grief-stricken with
eyes fixed on the little sufferer. When it
was all over she left the house. She did
not then see the doctor and from the hour
of her silent departure until Sundays
murder revealed her tragic end no word
was heard of her by friend or relative.
During these years the doctor has often
said to an intimate friend regarding his
former wife:
eff she were alive and 1 knew her
whereabouts, though never want to see
her face again, should make liberal pro-
vision for her support as long as my
means allowed me to do so. But, as it
is, think perhaps any day 1 may hear
from her, and know her end will be
pitiable."
ROCHESTER, N. H., April 21.-Th cor
oner's jury to-day rendered a verdict that
James McDuffee did kill and murder
Katie NJ. Lothrop, alias Kate Lawrence,
against the peace and dignity of the state"
On arraignment in the police court re-
spondent pleaded not guilty and was or
dered to Dover Jail to await the action of
the grand Jury in September.

To Our FRIENDS AND PATRONS:
The time is getting short for us at our old

The Epidemic Increasing I'm Serious
Proportions in England.

SHEFFIELD, April 21.-The influenza or
la grippe epidemic existing in this neigh
borhood and elsewhere in England is in
creasing in serious proportions. Numbers
of public officials, clergymen and physi-
clans have been attacked by the disease,
and thousands of people in other walks Of
life have been or are still more or less
seriously affected by the prevailing
malady. So extensive and severe has been
the spread of this scourge that number
of manufacturing works will probably be
compelled to suspend operations owing to
the number of their employees who are alb
stances one third of the number or work
men employed in the factories are on the
sick list, and at present there seems to be
but slight prospects of an early abatement
of the epidemic.

CAMPHOR.
4 Product That Is Valuable to Mankind the
World Over.

Camphor, the foe of all wood eating
moths, the hOusekeeper's friend and the in
yalid's comfort. is mainly produced from the
tree known as the camphor laurel, which
grows in many portions of the globe, though
nearly all the camphor gum which is used in
Europe and America comes from the Island
of Formosa. in the Malay Archipelago. The
tree Is gigantic evergreen, much like the
common laurel, except rs to size, it some
times growing to ii height of fifty feet and
attaining girth Of twenty feet. The leaves
are shining, of bright green color and
odoriferous when bruised. The wood is
white and fragrant and much used by
Chinese j0iners and cabinet-makers, being
proof against insects.
The crude camphOr gun of commerce is
prepared by the Chinese of Formosa in a
sufficiently primitive fashion. The shrubs
are carefully selected for their sap many
being too dry TO repay the cost of treatment.
Tie best part OF the wood is reserved for
timber, while the branches and chips are
taken while fresh for distillation. The stills
are Of the rudest POSSIBLE construction
Over eight or ten hearth-fres is placed a
long wooden trough, often a hollow
tree, coated with clay and half filled
with water. Boards pierced with holes are
fitted on the trOughs and above
these are placed jars containing the
chips; tile latter are surrounded by
earthenware pots and the joints are made
are kindled, the generated steam passes up
through the pierced boards and, saturating
the chips, causes the sublimated camphor
to settle in crystals on the inside of the
pots, from hich it is scraped off and after
ward passed through a second process of
dstillation to remove some of the impuri-
ties. At the bottom of a copper still is
placed bit OF dry powdered earth from an
old wall Selected doubtless for the sake of
the lime 1t contains, and on this layer
OF crude camphor; this is again covered
with earth, and so alternately till the vessel
is full, the series terminating with layer
of earth, and being finally covered with
green mint A second vessel, usually
formed with straw, smeared with clay IN
the outside, is inserted over the still and
"Iuted on" This apparatus is heated
slowly for some time over regulated fire.
On cooling the camphor is found attached to
the upper vessel. This crude camphor is
then exported in large watts or tubs, but it is
refined once more in Europe by a far more
complete and complicated process before it
becomes the beautiful snow-white translu-
cent gum we buv in the drug-stores
