SUICIDE OF LINDA MILLER.
A Well-KnOwn Southern Musician Ends
Her Life with Choral.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 2o.-Three
unces of Choral, taken with suicidal intent
tonight, ended the life of one of the most
famous musicians in the South, Linda Mil
Ter, in her apartments at the Vendome
Hotel. The life of the suicide reads like a
romance. She was born and raised in Mo-
bile, Ala, and her parents, being wealthy,
encouraged the musical talents she so
early displayed. Tutored by the
leading masters of this country, she
afterward went to Germany and there
completed her musical education. Return
ing to this country she appeared in all the
leading cities. Some time ago her husband
and herself left here with a theatrical
company, but she returned a week ago.
She has seemed very melancholy of late,
but it was attributed to her physical weak
ness. and no thought was given tho idea
she contemplated suicide. A lady friend
found her cold in death in her apartments
about dusk. An empty vial of choral
stood near, which told the tale.

OBITUARY..
James Anthony sF'roude, the Well
Known English Historian.

James Anthony sFroude, the Well
known English Historian.
LONDON. Oct. 20.-James Anthony
Froude. the historian, died at $50 o'clock
this morning.
Mr.. Froude was born in Totness, in
Devonshire. in 1878. He was educated at
Oxford and became a fellow of Exeter Col
lege. In 1917 he published 1.-The Shadows Of
the Clouds" a novel. Two years later APP
peared The Nemesis OF Faith" which
made a mighty stir in orthodox England
and cost the author his fellowship. His
principal work, of course, is his History of
England" which deals with the period from
the fall of Wo,seley to the death of Queen
Elizabeth. This appeared in 1~S56-1S67. He
subsequently, published Short Studies on
Great Subjects" THE English in Ireland
In the Eighteenth Century, Caesar; a
Sketch and the two books on Carlyle's
early life and his life in London. The
cynical frankness with which he edited
Carlyle's "reminiscences and the Final
Memorials OF Jane WEIGH Carlyle were
provocative of a great deal OF savage criti-
cism.
a writer recently said of the historian:
"During the last ten years he has Travelled
widely. His impressions OF the antipodes
and the West midas are as accurate as they
are picturesque and delightful. These last
tWO duJcCtlNcS OcSCElDc MI. FTOuuc , ldlhs
not fully, but, so far as they go. exactly.
He has the power of making others see
things as he sees them: the power of i'm
parting his delight in them; the power OF so
describing objects that the description pro-
duces on others the Impressions that the
objects themselves produce upon him. 1t is
not a common gift. but ii is not all. MIR.
Froude possesses. alike in print and in
speech. the ncommunicahle secret OF style.
To see how lasting is the mark of ecclesi-
astical and theological reading in Mr.. Froude
you have only 10 turn to any volume when
he has to discourse on such matters-the
Oxford counter-reiormation, for example
or 10 listen to him when he talks on them.
Orthodox he is not. but orthodoxy has little
TO say to a profoundly religious soul. IL is
characteristic of him to care deeply about
subjects for which he cares at all. The gos-
sip of Mayfair is not one OF them, yet the
butterflies Of Mayfair have not a more airy
touch than he, ever when he brings serious
matters into social converse. He can be
instructive without becoming pedantic;
pOurs out knowledge in floods. but does not
lecture; Is a man of the world, and neither
professor nor pedagOgue-no, nor a fanatic,
with a mission TO preach to all corners on
all o~ecassons-this last, perhaps, the most
tiresOnie OF all three"

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS
RAJ ATTACKED BX BANDITS IN
THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
Four or Five People Reported Shot
Little Money Said to Have Been
Secured by the Gang.

PARSONS, Kan, Oct. M.-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train No. 223 on the Kan
sas & Arkansas Valley branch, was held up
by four or five masked men at Coretta sid
ing, seven miles east of Wagner, 1. T., at
10 O'Clock tonight. An empty car was
placed on the main track and the train
struck it. The robbers commenced a ter
rible onslaught, and four or five persons
are reported shot. But little money is said
to have been secured. The robbery
was the work of Cook and his
desperate gang of outlaws who have recent
ly been terrorizing the citizens of the Ter
ritory. For two months past all railroads
passing through the Territory have been
heavily guarded in fear of an attack, and
many shipments of money into the Terri
tory have been refused by the express COM
pany. Many depredations of the gang. es-
pecially within the past week or two, have
shown this precaution to be timely. For
days the gang has been represented as be-
ing at different points planning a robbery,
and thorough preparations were made to
meet the expected attack. The outlaws ev-
identity anticipa ted a desperate resistance,
and began thei. work by shooting freely.
Reports are meager.
Later.-All the cars excepting the sleeper
were ''shot full of holes" and not a whole
window remained. The train struck an OBJ
struction of cars across the track after be-
ing shunted on to a siding, the outlaws hav-
ing thrown a switch for that purpose. The
money secured was from the local safe.
During the fusillade Jack McHara, advance
agent of the McHara minstrel show, re-
ceived a shot in the forehead. How serious
it is is not known. He was in one Of the
passenger coaches at the time. The train
was in charge of engineer Harris and con-
ductor w. j. Dunkin.
