"sroP AIMl les Dead.

Mrs. winnings Frantic Cries as She
Chased Her Husband Up street.
A man rushed out of the Hotel
Ellet. on Ellet street, Dorchester, at
about o'clock the otaer night, says
the Bosto Traveller, and started up
Ellet street on the dead run. He
was hatless and coatless. He hadn't
gono ten yards when n woman
dashed out OF the same door andS
screaming at the top of her voice,
started off In pursuit of the man.
"Oh, stop himl Stop him" cried
the woman, Hes dead He's just
taken poison. Catch him and call u
doctorl"
By this time the man had sprinted
around tho corner, having easily dis
tanced the woman, and the crowd
which had gathered at hearing the
unearthly shreSs thought he was OK
ceedingly lively for dead nan.
Some Of them started OFF in pursuit.
OF the men. rs the woman sat down
on the curbstone in state of col
lapse. She told the crowd that her
name was Willing and that she had
been married to her husband three
weeks. She couldn't see how he
could do such a thing. 1t was her
husband. Willie Willing who had
hustled around the corner moment
before While Mrs Willing was
talking to the crowd, assuring them.
that her husband must surely be
dead, as he had swallowed whole
bottle OF laudanum, "a policeman Of
station No 2 was struggling with
Willie around the corner. lie had
s,en the man Running with the
others in pursuit and had taken u
hand. He quickly headed him for
the patrol box as soon as the others
said that the man had taken poison.
Tho patrol wagon responded quick
ly, and Willing was hurried off to
the station house, whore Il physi-
clan was in waiting with a stomach
pump. He went to work on the
man, who was struggling and evil
IDENTIFY trying hard to speak. Time
was precious, howeves, and the doc
tor pumped Willie's stomach quite
dry. Then Willie got breathing
spell and started to talk. He said
that he had not taken poison. IIo
had had frequent quarrels with his
new wife, he said, and threatened to
kill himself The day before he gotta
bottle of laudanum and showed it to
his wife to scare her. But he poured
the laudanum out and filled the bot
tie with Peruvian bark. He retained
the old label When the customary
quarrel began at night he drew the
bottle and drank the contents. Then
he ran out Mrs Willing came
breathlessly into the station house
while the pumping was going on.
When she saw how she and the rest
were fooled she made up with Willie
and they went home.

About ton years later the British
government lent another comm's-

naval college was established at To
kio, the drill being similar to that in
use in the English naval gunuery

The British commission returned to
England several years ago, but tho

Except for temporary strength in some of the
specialties the market to-day has been lower
and dropping. The trading by no means possess
ed Significance beyond its reflection of the sus-
pension of bull aggression and growing bearish
attitude of room operators. The announcement OF
the first shipment Of gold to be made next Sat

mors all day of probably large exports this

fear of extensive railroad strikes, the possible
resumption of transcontinental rate war and
the dread of unsettling tariff discussion. The
legislative situation at Washington is certainly
ahandicap upon business revival, and while there
is decided doubt as to whether any measure
can be carried through Congress the uncertain
ty retards the full exercise of business conf
dence. 1t is also to be expected that railroad
returns will remain unsatisfactory for some time
while heavy eff1ux of gold would tend to dis
courage sentiment Under these circumstances
it would not be surprising if there should be
more pronounced reactionary tendency in the
market in view of its narrow, professional char
acter. The tenacity of holders OF stocks has
yet to be disturbed to ensue permanent success
to bear raids, and there is no evidence of any
selling pressure at present. Easy money is also
strong support to the speculation and would
be likely to interpose successful resistance to
any severe decline. There is wisdom in con-
seryatism at this juncture of affairs but we still
think that stocks are purchase on the bear
raids
