FOUND DEAD.
Albert R. Cook Suifocated by IIIumi.
mating Gas on South Main Street.

There was either a fatal accident or
suicide by inhaling gas at Is South Main
street last night and Albert X. Cooke, 70
years old, was the victim.
AT 8 o'clock Sergeant Smith and officer
Smith were called into the lodging house
TO look for gas leak. They traced the
odor to Cookies room on the second
floor and forcing open the door found
the occupant stretched upon his bed
and his dog lying beside him, both dead.
"A half open jet in a gas stove explained
the situation. Efforts were made TO resus-
cicate the old man, but they were una
vailiDg. Medical Examiner Palmer was
called and his verdict was death from
suffocation by Illuminating gas. The body
was given in charge of Undertaken
Knowles.
Albert II. Cooke was an old-time news
paper man, and in 1859 was one of the
founders OF the Evening Press, in part
nership with George w. Danielson.
He was son of Nicholas Cooke, who
was Governor Of this State, and one of his
brothers was Joseph j. Cooke, for many
years chairman of the board of water
commissioners Of this city, and his other
brother was George Lewis Cooke.
He was thv landlord of the lodging
houses and stores beneath it, at IS South
Main street, and lived alone in one of the
rooms. The police are at a loss as to
whether his death was the result of his
own will or by accident.

THE TRlL5Y FASHION.

Pretty Women VIII Go Barefoot TO Battle
IN tEAs Sea Next Summer. n
1t is said that fashion next summer
will kindly permit ladies at seaside re-
sorts to bathe without stockings. and
stylish young women are already having
their feet prepared for next seasons
campaign Many feet which look just
too captivating for anything in shoes
and stockings are not altogether lovely
when exposed TO view, and feminine
owners Of such defective extremities are
now invoking the aid of the pedicurists
to make them presentable. Civilization
and high shoes have inflicted many
wrongs upon tho human understanding,
and many ladies recognize that if they
are to make impressions upon the mas
culine heart as well as upon the sand
with their feet next summer they must
put themselves upon better footing.
There are comparatively few Trilby
feet.lnugeal life, few which are perfect
in fS4h and entirely free from blemish.
Nevertheless Du Maurior's rhapsody
over the beauty of Trilby's foot may be
to a certain extent respons-sIe for the
general note of preparation for the ex-
hibition of feminine feet next summer.
Many women who have read his novel
may be anxious to prove that they have
something in that line not entirely un-
worthy of admiration. And why should
not pretty foot inspire the poet and
the artist quite as much as hand or
lady's eyebrow?
Great execution has been done with
the feminine foot through all the CEN
turies Even with its charms concealed
by shoes and stockings it has proved
one of the mosA formidable of womanly
weapons With it woman has lured man
on and on and on, and with il, when
she has wearied of playing with him,
she has administered the coup do grace.
But when it shines forth next summer
in all its loveliness, unadorned by any
thing but its own beauty, it will be sim
ply irresistible. No bachelor will be safe
at the seaside. The most hardened and
cynical will capitulate at the sight of
the thousands of snowy feet pattering
over tho sandy beach in unconventional
freedom or demurely presented for mas
culine inspection and approval. --Balti-

PROVIDENCE FRANKLIN SOCIETY,

At the regular meeting of the Provi-
dence Franklin Society, at their rooms ol
North Main street, Tuesday evening, q
paper was read by Mr.. Eugene l.. Smyth on
"Some Artistic Impressions OF California"
"A June day in Pasadena" The town
lies IN depression of the valley at the
northwest end, and is protected on the
north by the Sierra Madra Mountains
with detached spurs on the west and
south. from hill back OF the town
Pasadena with the country on 10 the sea,
with the island OF Santa Catalina, rug
g ged ana ,asbrapt, gives charming ,nn ,age:
begins to break away and,by 5 O'Clock is
rolling oil beyond the Southern hills.
The air now has delicious GOODNESS and
the pepper trees, roses, orange trees are
sparkling with drops of water. A lovely
blue haze of a peculiar light hue, is close
to the ground, over all, and the sky has
pale limpid blue. Eucalyptus trees shoot
up indi0tinct in the blue mist. The hills
in the west are reddish and the white
OF the yecca bloom, here and there over
them, is pinkish yellow. Over those hills
Is sky OF deeper blue. Through the
valley are bits OF bright pinkish yellow on
houses, and red roofs; and cool blue green
shadows. Over Los Angeles the sky
is opalescent with smoke, hanging
lazily. Far In the south is the narrow
strip of the ocean with pale, ethereal
Santa Catalina lying apparently above the
horizon. Near and around many birds
are singing, slim green canaries, bee
birds, gold bodied with white wings,
meadow larks, mocking birds and fine
little fellow, brown with scarlet head,
who, sitting on the tip top OF everything,
sings as though "'twas for all he was
WORTH" The "impression" is of light
and blue, freshness and peace--a faint
breeze shakes the banana leaves and rat
ties the fan palms. Things very far away
seem very near in that clear, pure atmos-
phere.
Mr.. Smyth gave delightful pen pictures
OF many places and scenes, including the
old missions, where some of the old Mex
ican life still fingers.
The old mission life was detailed
with the ideal happiness which
reigned throughout southern Cali
fornia. Then followed a history of its
wonderful development under the impulse
Of American enterprise.
A vote OF thanks was given to Mr..
Smyth. Next lecture February II by Mr..
Charles Dowier. Subject, "Pompeii,

crowd IN tho Supreme Court yesterday
morning, expecting that the Will contest

were doomed to disappointment. Judge
Rogers took his seat at 9:4O o'clock

TO the will of the late George Babcock
Hazard, who left all his property, valued
at $500, 900, to st. Joseph's Church. They
claim undue influence and state the old
man was crazy. The court then adjourned
TO Thursday morning at $3.50 o'clock, when
the case OF Catherine Sweeney admx., VS..

will be ready for trial.
Backed Overheard.
Yesterday morning one of the crew OF
the life saving station drove TO the city

Horse and buggy went TO the
bottom and remained there for some time.
A poatman who happened along saw
bubbles rising 10 the surface ana upon
examination saw the horse under the
surface. The harness was cut and the
horse towed to place where he could be

THE PHONOHARP.
A New Musical Instrument Which Is Fast
Becoming Popular.

Becoming Popular.
One sees another new musical instru-
ment pushing its way into prominence
the phonoharp, which is, broadly,
nothing moro nor less than a simplified
and inexpensive German either 1t has
Is strings and two octaves, from G to G,
although somo forms are larger and
more complex. 1t has q brass bridge
stretched across the strings, so construct
ed that some strings are covered and
some exposed.
The ''pick" when drawn across tho
shields strikes the exposed strings, pro.
ducing chords, and goes over those COW
cred by tho metal. The bridge has three
rows of openings, thus making three
chords Of the key of c. The music of
any piece consists of a sheet of cardboard
having the air OF tho tune written in
figures, divided into measures and char
acsers before tho proper figure, to indi-
cato when TO draw the pick over the
shield to make the desired chord.
The figures on the sheet lie directly
under the strings, which, when picked
in one, two, three order, or in rotation,
in each measure through the piece, play
the air. While the air is going on the
chords are drawn in wherever indicated
On tho sounding board is slip pasted,
having the proper letter under each
string corresponding with its note in
tho scale. The lettering on the sheet in
dicates the strings to be struck.
The ordinary notes on the staff are
used TO give the time, and dashes on the
stem show when to draw in the chords
on the shield. The tone of this instru-
ment is sweet. and the chords go well
with tie voice --Pittsburg Dispatch.
