conscious upon the floor. She had taken
a dose Of Paris green. Why she took 1t
or where she got 1t is a mystery which
the police are trying to solve.
This morning the girl was in Bellevue
Hospital in a critical condition.
When the girl went into Metten-
heimer's store, at 794 Sixth avenue, last
night she was noticed by q clerk in
the place to grasp at the showcase.
He believed that she was sick. and went
towards her. Before he reached her
side she fell to the floor. Then he saw
that the front of her dress was covered
with q green powder. which he At once
recognized as Paris green.

In the mean time, added his efforts to
those of the others. But It was no use.
The woman only looked at them. smiled
and said she was very sick, that they
had better take her to the hospital be-
fore she died. Once, when the policeman
got more than usually persuasive, the wo-
man said she lived At Messina street,
Brooklyn. But Immediately afterwards
she denied It, and as there is no street

carried considerable weight with II.
Finally she was taken to the hospital
In the ambulance. The surgeon said she
must have taken the poison long before
she walked into Mettenheimer's store.
No one in the neighborhood had seen
her in the street and the druggists for
blocks around denied that they had sold
her the Paris green.
The ward men Of the East Fifth street
station went to Bellevue Hospital to see
the pretty prisoner in an effort to get
some light on the case. but they met
stolid indifference. The girl even denied
the name she had given.
At Police Headquarters the Brooklyn
police were telegraphed in hopes that
something could be learned of the wo-

A Dogs Toothache tho Indirect
CAUSE Of Her Alleged Blunder.

and had Angelic Sora for . boarder.
Eighteen months ago the husband began
to drink. and the Sheriff sold all the
household furniture. and Mrs. schmess-
finger went to live with sorra, the
former boaSder, in tho basement OF the
Seventy NTH street house.
The only thing the woman took with
her that formerly belonged to her hus-
band was = big black dog called Rover.
To . certain degree this dog Is the
cause OF. the mistake which has put her
In the hospital = prisoner. and very
sick.
Mrs. schpesstinEer and sorra didn't
get along at all. A. he sat in his lonely
basement this morning. with Rover
bowling under . chair. he said: "She
drank all the time. She was never
sober"
The woman In the hospital said sorra
wandered widely from the truth.
II never drank at ALL" said she. He
beat me SO dreadfully that l used to
stagger as I walked" ID
The tenants In the house say they -
both right and both wrong According
to their version the man Is carpenter
beat his wife. The woman, they say,
does drink but she took in Ironing and
supported herself and the man.
| The troubles Of the two began yester-
! day morning, when the landlord OF the
house told them they would have to
move as they made too much noise. They
were still discussing the cruelty OF the
landlords edict when the dog Rover was
taken Ill. He had toothache.
In the afternoon barber was called
! In and three Of the animals teeth were
extracted. But he howled a great deal
after that. and Mrs. Schmesstinger's
nerves were shaken. so that she thought
a little beer would do her good. So she
drank 1t. and then ate half water
melon.
An hour later she was very Ill. She
went into a dark closet to get some
cholera drops and picked up the bottle
Of carbollc acid. she says. by mistake.
They were in the same style of bottle.
The acid burned her throat and lips
badly. and Sorra called in a policeman.
and the policeman got an ambulance.

are mounted forward on the starboard side
and the other two aft on the port side.
The superstructure, or deck house, is d.
vided aft in order that the port guns may
be trained or an object on the starboard
beam. If they were so trained and fired
the conclusion would peel off her decking
in strips, and if the guns were pointed
directly ahead it is probable that all the
iron doors of the superstructure would be
torn away. But these matters in the heat
of action are of minor Importance.
The story is related that an English
Captain discovered during the course Of
great gun practice aboard his ship that the
pictures and bric-a-brac about his cabin
were being utterly demoralized by the con-
cussion Of the guns. Looking glasses
were smashed and the walls were denuded
of their hangings. He asked the officer in
charge how many times the guns were to
be fired, and the officer replied that the
regulations governing the practice desig-
mated eight as the number. The superior
officer stormed and said he would not con-
tinue firing, whereupon the Liuetenant
asked what disposition should be made of
the shot.
''Throw them overheard p exclaimed the
Captain. This story may be discredited,
as such branches of regulation are really
unknown in naval service.
at cannot be said that target practice is
relished by officers, as it is likely to be a
very dirty business on account of the pow
der and smoke. The guns of our navy
are nearly all covered with mixture of
shellac and beeswax polished to great
brilliancy. This has to be renewed and
repolished after friug.
A visitor CHANGED to be aboard the old
monitor Nantucket during firing. He was
shown about the ship before the firing be-
gan, and had crawled through all sorts of
small dark holes. The officer escorting
him had explained the guns to be used,
and as the visitor was mounting one of the
small ladders in the dark ,one of the huge old
fashioned smooth-bores in the turret thun
dered out. The visitor and the officer were
almost under it on the deck below. The
report came so suddenly that the visitor
lost his balance and would have fallen had
not the officer caught him.
''That was one of them" said the latter.
''Was it?" asked the visitor. =
