years of age, daughter Of benjamin s.
White, a wealthy iumberman, died at
Woodstock this morning at 10 O'Clock
while undergoing treatment for the re-
moval of facial blemsh. Death was
caused, it is supposed. by the use of CO.
eaine TO dcaden the pain from the applica-
ton OF an electric current, which consti-
tuted the means of treatment. The oper-
ator was DIR. Sophie Santa. of the DR..
Sophie Santa Company. Eliza A. James,
business partner OF DR.. Santa, was as
sisting in the operation at the time. In
one hand DR.. Santa held needle and in
the other sponge saturated with soiu-
ton of cocaine which she applied at inter-
walls 10 alleviate the pain caused by the
needle. She had almost completed the
treatment when Miss White gasped for
breath and before the operator could assist
she slid from the chair to the floor dead.
Aid was hastily summoned and restora-
tives appliel. but without avail, the young
woman having died almost instantly. Dr.
Santa, with her assistant, was locked up
until the exact cause of the young wom-
ans death is known. DIR. Talman, who
answered the cali for a physician, de-
scribed his visit.

Labor has its rights chief among which
is the privilege of organization without IN
fringing upon their employers. One of the
most difficult questions in our times TO
discuss is the question of strikes. Strikes,
as experience has demonstrated. are very
questionable means for the redress of the
IaooFing mems grievances. Statistics fur
n1shed show that the soss to the employees
by strikes for eight years amounted TO
SIS, Coz coo, while the employers lost only
half this amount | earnestly hope some

ton seems 10 be the most potent method
that can be conceived Of.
