a rigid investigation and severe punish

had access to the appointments Of the
victims have been arrested on suspicion
of being the persons VINO actually ad-
mistered the poison and at last accounts
were subjected to torture in order to
compel them to make a full confession.

Plastering a Newspaper onaoe With Un-
lucky Lottery Ticketa
Rehoboth Herad.l
"You talk about your high priced wall
paper" said man at the hotel the other
day, "but a room that saw in San Fran
cisco took the cake for luxury in that di-
rection. 1t was the local room of the Old
Alta Californian on California street which
has now gone to the dogs.
"That room was probably 40 feet by 25,
and its walls boasted probably the most
costly wall paper of any in the country, not
excepting Vanderbilt's Fifth avenue man
sion.
"It cost over 81, 900 to paper three sides
of that room; the fourth was unfinished at
the time the paper suspended. What was
it, you ask-velves or gilt paper? Not a
bit of it, but plain white with green mark
ings, principally, though here and there .
brown tinted patch showed.
''The room at first blush looked for all
the world as though plastered with dollar
bills, and so it was in iact They were
lottery tickets, both of the Mexican and
the Louisiana issues and each OF those
5000 or more bits of green and brown paper
represented hard earned dollar
"Warren, the assistant city editor, now
court man on the Post, started the thing.
He drew about 20 blank prizes one month
and slapped them all on the wall in front of
his desk. The other boys were quick to
catch on, and in little less than three
years three sides Of the room were papered
with the tIcketa"

1T find that it takes more moral courage

woman recently, t'to snatch the half hours
complete rest every day which is SO essen
tial for us. My own experience in culti-
waiting the habit was so difficult that ques-
toned my friends and found that like the
guests hidden to the wedding feast Of old,
all made excuses. 4 mean to, said one,
but am so busy 1 can't seem to find the
rime.' Another took the paper with
her and always got interested in the read
ing of it. A third was sure to be inter-
rupted, and so it went on through the list
1 think it Is because women approach the
matter too elaborately, and think they must
give up q great deal of time and plan for
the little respite that they fail to get it. If
every woman would 60 to her room right
after her midday meal, whether that be
luncheon or dinner, and loosen her cloth
ing and stretch herself prone upon bed or
lounge for one-half hour, whether the
dishes stood, or the baby cried, or the door
bell rang. or anything happened except the
falling of the house, and do this as relig-
iously as she crimps her hair, she would
almost not need to crimp her hair go much
better she would look. But although 1
have kept up this practice for three years,
there is not day that / do not wonder re-
gretfully if am not wasting my time. We
have SO poor sense of proportion of what
il best for US in the long rum"
The vagaries of head ornamentation are
seen to especial advantage in Saratoga
hop. The other night in the brilliant ball
room of one of the large hotels it was OBJ
served that most of the women present, and

at least 300 men, wore some variation of

LoNDoN's NEW STEEL BRIDaK

1t l. to Take ths PIncs Of the Famou,
Structure at VauxhalI.
Iron.l
London, In addition to that well-nigh
consummated monument of engineering
science opposite the Tower, is to have a new
steel bridge, at an estimated cost of $3.50, 600
The existing structure which spans the
Thames at Vauxhall, once so famous for its
royal gardens, is soon to be thing of the
past 1t owes its premature death-it will
be but some II years old when demolished
to the unauspicious circumstances under
which it was created.
When the foundations were completed
for what was at first intended to be a stone
bridge, the builders decided to construct
the remaining portion of cast iron, thus con-
stituting Vau1hall the first metropolitan
bridge built of that metal The masonry
piers were, however, left, the original de-
sign of nine narrow arches being therefore
maintained 1t is to the attrition en-
gendered by the swirl of confined and con-
densed waters under these nine circum-
scribed vaults that the old bridge owes it
doom. Its foundations are reported, on
the authority of divers, to be, if not exactly
tottering, at least in so bad a condition that
the structure would, in a comparatively
short period, become absolutely unsafe.
sThe projected new bridge is, of course, to
be much wider than its predecessor, which
measures only SO feet between parapets,
compared with the S5 feet OF the broadest
bridge in Europe, that elegant metallic
framework which uuites the Middlese1 and
Surrey shores at Westminster
