SHE DROPPED DEAD |!
A Young Wife and Mother Goes
Without Warning.
Mrs. Will Whitted Dies Suddenly Early
This Afternoon.
A TENDER INFANT SURVIVES HER
People Who Come and GO-Brief BreVi-
ties of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.

The entire community received a shock
this afternoon when the news spread
over the city that Mrs. viii Whitted had
dropped dead.
The news was brought up town by
servant, who came in haste about the
time people were getting their noon
mail from the pOstoitice, and who, in her
anxiety and alright ,enquired Of all whom
she met if they had seen Mr. Whitted,
who had returned an hour before to his
post at the Fidelity bank.
Mr. Whitted lives on Morris street in
the house with Mr. Bun Whitted, and on
leaving home after the noon meal noticed
in his wife no Indications of such an at
tack. She was to all appearances as we'll
as usual, in good spirits and with all to
make life pleasant and desirable before
her.
About o'clock she felt a sudden rush
of blood to her head, and fell over, dying
almost instantly.
Deceased was twenty years old, and
both as a young lady and since her mar.
riage has always been great favOrite in
Durham, where she has lived since
childhood, and where as Molly Thomas,
she was known and loved by all.
About year ago she was married to
Mr.. Will Whitted, young man in every
way calculated to make her happy, and the
pair started life with the most flattering
prospects. Six weeks ago an infant was
born to them, which survives the young
mother, circumstance which adds addi-
tional sadness to the sorrow of her sud-
den taking off.
The fond young husband is crushed by
the cruel blow, as are other near rela,

Marital Record of the
ShaddOCks.
An Aged Couple Divorced After
kneeling Together at the Altar
Five Different Times.

Thomas Shaddock and Phoebe Shaddock
have made quite a record in the MARTA
arena and in the divorce courts. Each has
walked to the altar with the other on five
different occasions, and subsequently this
peculiar pair have been as many times
divorced during the last forty-one years.
The couple, who are now quite elderly,
commenced making love to each other half
a century ago. back in Maine. They were
first married fOrty-one years ago. and their
espousal lasted long enough to witness the
birth and early childhood of daughter.
Since then they have been divorced and
remarked in five different States. and the
issue of the first union is now an actress
on the Eastern stage.
Judge CARRIER granted the fifth divorce
yesterday. after taking the case under ad-
visement for several days. Mrs. Phoebe
had brought suit for dissolution of the
marriage on the ground of cruelty. The
last marriage was by contract made In
1887, and the question was raised by the
defense as to whether the last association
of the couple was, in fact. legal marriage
and whether the petitioner had any stand
ing IN the divorce court
The legality of the marriage was finally
decided affirmatively. because of three
fatal admissions by the defendant. 1t was
proven that when Shaddock filed his
homestead claim three years ago he
had described Phoebe as his wife. Subse-
quently in case heard in the justices
Court this statement of their relationship
was repeated. and in a deed granted few
months ago the same description stands
on record.
Judge CARRIER refused to grant the wife
a divorce on the score of cruelty, but con-
sented to dissolve the marriage ON the
ground of failure to provide.
Shaddock is glider, and has resided
with his wife at 5S4 Jessie street. During
their five marriages the pair have accumu-
lated property valued at $4,000. About the
disposition of this there is likely to be
trouble. Shaddock claims it as separate
property, but his ex-wife maintains that it
is community property. It's disposition
will be determined upon the considera-
tion Of papers which have been filed by
attorneys for both ptrties in the case.

The Popular Dance.
Philadelphia Times.


Last year the two-step, danced to the
time OF polka or march, was the novelty,
which was danced almost entirely to the
exclusion OF the Old-fashioned polka. This
two.step came from the East. The fash
ionabie set has the power to make or mar
a new dance, and its satellites are watched
closely by the dancing professors, who
tried to introduce a dance to meet the
tastes of these people. For five long years
fashionable people would not take up
new dance. The professors were in de-
spair. Then came the two-step, and all
looked at it askance. Then at ball the
two-step was danced, and from that time
on it grew in favor until it became the
rage and the most popular whirl of the
season. 1t is not danced out yet. Unlike
the songs, AFTER the Ball" and "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay," it could not continue all
summer and make the general public ut
terly sick of it. 1t had rest, and will be
sure to revive when the dancing season
begins. Generally speaking, the present
tendency in dancing is toward quicker
steps and livelier music

MRS. PARKER GONE.
Charitable People Send Her to
Chicago,

Mrs. Parker, or Kookeguy. whose hus-
band created a sensation here by commit
ting suicide at the Grand Hotel some
weeks ago, and who herself acquired con-
siderable noteriety from her connection
with the case, is no longer in the city.
1t will be remembered that benevolent
lady living on Second street volunteered
to give the unfortunate woman a home
until some provision could be made for
her, and under that roof she remained
until last week.
She made repeated attempts to secure a
position with some one of the many the
atrical companies visiting here, but with
no success, and finally the g0od-natured
people connected with the Tivoli Theater
went to work and raised enough money
among themselves to pay her transporta-
ton to Chicago.
Mrs. Parker remained true to her
declaration that she would reveal nothing
of what she knew of her dead husband
past life. She maintained that there was
some mysterious reason for her silence
and not even to protect her own name
from scandal would she consent to divulge
what she knew.
She said before leaving the city that she
contemplated returning to the stage when
she reached Chicago.

A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.
1t Will Be Built Near Golden Gate
Park.


A Catholic church will soon be erected
near Golden Gate Park, just south of the
Park Panhandle" on Masonic avenue,
near Page street. Little assistance is CON-
ing from outside sourches in building this
new church and parish. for its success will
depend largely on the efforts and results
accomplished by the ladies and their friends

The population has grown so rapidly
west of Br0derick street within the last
few years that Catholic church has be-
come necessity. AT present the nearest
place of worship Is at Fell and Fillmore
streets. long distance from Ashbury
Heights and around Golden Gate Park.
The Catholic residents Of this neighbor-
hood have been quietly agitatng the idea
of sacred edifice in their vicinity, and
recently they enlisted Father Lagan of the
Sacred Heart Church in their cause.
Archbishop Riordan bought three lots on
Masonic avenue aud one lot on Page
street, which forms an l. with the larger
portion.
On the three lots. which have a frontage
of 70 feet, the church will be built. while
the pastors house will be placed on the
Page-street side.
A festival and bazaar in aid of this pro-
posed ed flee will be held in Mowry's Hall,
Grove aud Laguna streets, next Wednes-
day. continuing for eight or ten days.
The Irving Dramatic Club will appear
four nights during the progress Of the fair,
and for other nights interesting pro-
grammes have been arranged by the ladies'.

Dependency, Insanity and Death.

While it may be admitted that man is to
a degree foolish for falling victim to a
disease which had he SO desired he could
have escaped. yet when the proper light
is thrown upon the matter he can hardly
be held responsible for his wrong doings.
Whisky. while bitter curse to mankind,
is encountered in the daily routes Of life.
Go where you please and the opportunity
is open. Mans social nature alIow US him
to drink TO excess. and soon the awful
realization dawns upon him that he can
not control his appetite. With morphine,
opium and cocaine, the habit is often ac-
Quired by first taking it to allay pain. and
in short time it becomes absolutely
necessary to existence. To be without it
is to suffer ten thousand deaths. In this
condition the poor victim is hurried on to
insanity and death. but absolutely power
less to stay the disease. There is no ques-
tion as to the efficacy of the treatment, as
there is living evidence on every hand.

UNHAPPY OLSEN.
Attempted Suicide in the
County Jail.
An Amateur Burglar Who Protests
His Innocence and Seeks to
End His Life.

Chris Olsen, who was dishwasher In a
saloon on California street, bstween San
some and Battery, got disgusted with the
patry wages he was receiving and made
up his mind to adopt the role of burglar.
On the night of September he entered
the saloon where he was employed as
dishwasher with the determination OF
breaking open the safe and stealing the
contents. He had hammer with him and
broke off the handle Of the safe. The
noise frightened him and he thought a
drop of whisky would quiet his nerves
He got a bottle OF the fiery liquid and
liked it so we'll that be finished the bottle
and sank on the floor dead drunk.
The proprietor next morning found him
sent word to the police. Police Officers
CohD, Joy and Rowland answered the call
and arrested Olsen.
When Olsen sobered up in the City
Prison and realized what he was charged
with he vehemently protested his inno-
cence, but circumstances were all against
him, and on Friday last he was held to
answer by Judge Conlan before the Supe-
rior Court.
He was removed from the City Prison to
the County Jail that afternoon and locked
up in cell 50.
Yesterday morning at o'clock, when
the change of watch at the jail took place,
Deputies Webb and Cronn opened cell 81
and were surprised to find Olsen uncon-
scious on the floor with sort of rope
round his neck.
On glancing around the deputies saw
that Olsen had attempted to commit
suicide. He had torn pair of old overalls
into strips. tied them together and then
fixed one end round the bars on the rear
wicket of his cell. He stood on the bucket
in his cell. twisted the other end Of the
rope round his neck and kicked the
bucket from under him. The weight OF
his body broke the rope. but not before ne
had been nearly strangled.
The deputies quickly united the rope
round his neck and every effort was made
10 bring Olsen back to consciousness. Ii
was not till late last night that he was pro-
nounced out of danger.
Olsen is a native Of Norway and % years
