JUSTICE FIELD TALKS.
He Has Something to Say About JUS
tice Jackson's Successor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-Associate
Judge Field. speaking of the successor of
the late Justice Jackson, OF the Supreme
Court OF the United States, said:
"Of the four gentlemen spoken of, Post
master-General Wilson, Senator Lindsay
OF Kentucky, Don M. Dickinson OF
Michigan, and Secretary Carlisle, IL Is
very difficult for me TO select the one
who will receive the appointment. IL
Carlisle accepts, he will have to give up
his presidential aspirations; of the three,
Lindsay is far the most efficient jurist.
Don Nj. Dickinson Is a warm personal
friend OF the President and 30 is Wilson.
Therefore, under the present circumstan-
ces. II would be a difficult matter to
name the man. Any one would be good,
but i would not be surprised 10 see either
Dickinson or Lindsay receive the ap-
pointment, although i would not care TO
venture that as anything other than q
mere personal opinion.
"When will the appointment take
place?''
''Some time before the second Monday in
October and there may be a special ses-
sion called TO confirm the Presidents
nomination, as a justice would not care
to sit in the Supreme Court OF the United
States unless his nomination was con-
firmed. Besides, there are q great many
important cases coming up before the
next court, and IL Is necessary that there
be full attendance. There are some i'm
portant cases coming from California,
the Stanford case and others"

Jealousy Said to BE the Cause Which
Led to One Death.

WELIsBoRo, Pa, Aug. 10. The mystery
surrounding the death on May IL last OF
Miss Elizabeth Knapp was partially
cleared last night by the arrival OF Miss
Charlotte Dutton, alias Howell, on a
warrant charging her with murder.
Miss Knapp, who made her home In
the family of Chauncey Howell, became
suddenly iii May rs, and died the follow
ing day. She maintained up to the last
minute that she had been poisoned. The
coroner's jury made an investigation
and finally rendered verdict "that the
deceased came to her death by corrosive
poison, administered either by herself or
some unknown person.
Miss Knapp's friends were not satisfied
with the verdict, and called i'm detectives,
who worked for six weeks on the case,
and secured enough evidence to warrant
the arrest OF Miss Dutton.
IL is charged by the friends OF Miss
Knapp that she was jealous of Miss
Howell. aud took this means to get rid of
her. When the alleged murderer was
taken to Jail she feigned insanity.
There are two other mysterious deaths
which occurred i'm the Howell family.
which will probably be charged to Miss
Dutton. Shortly after her appearance at
the Howell residence, the latter's wife
died under peculiar circumstances. Not
long after his wife's death, young son
died with symptoms OF poisoning, and 1t
is alleged that both were poisoned.

CUBANS HERE.
Report That Steamer Joseph
Church Has Been Sold.
And That She Is Being Fitted Out BY
The insurgents.
The Vessel Now at the East Provi dence
Dry Dock.

The fishing steamer Joseph Church, now
in the dry dock at East Providence, is at-
tracing considerable attention, the report
being that she has been sold to Cuban in
surgents. This rumor is strengthened by
the fact that several Cubans have been
seen in this vicinity recently, whose
movements, although closely watched,
have been surrounded by an air OF mys-
terry. There was large gang of work
men engaged in overhauling the steamer
exteriorally when THE News reporter
visited her this noon, but they were mum
when asked what 1t all meant. The fore
man OF the gang stated, however, that
the work would last a week or 10 days
longer, but nobody could be found to
either affirm or deny the report about
the Cubans" ownership. What is consid-
cred reliable authority, though, insists
that the report is not without good foun-
dation.

When He Arose This Morning He

PREPARED FOR HIS DAYS WORK
And Walked Into His Office and Blew
His Brains Out.

The little community around the corner
OF Eddy and Gala streets were somewhat
startled TO learn of the death by suicide
this morning of John Rehfuss, a we'll
known meat dealer, who has resided at

Rehfuss, who sold solely from a butcher
cart, got up as usual. after good nights s
rest, went into the stable on Gala street,
rear of the house, fed and cleaned his
horse, and prepared everything for the
days trip among his customers. This was
completed by $3.50 o'clock. Then he went
into his Office on the ground floor of the
stable, sat down, and, placing 3s-calibre
revolver 10 his right temple, pulled the
trigger. One shot was sufficient
The report was heard in the house, and
Mrs. Rehtuss and Mrs. Dupont, who
resides upstairs in the Rehfuss house,
rushed TO the barn to see what il all
meant. There lay the unfortunate man,
called and he sent for Medical Examiner
Palmer, who allowed Undertaken Rem
ington TO prepare the body for burial,
after hearing the facts.
Dependency IL said to have led TO the
sad occurrence. In fact, il rs stated that
the deceased had been rather unfortunate
OF late. He was heavy man, weighing
about 200 pounds, and only short time
ago was thrown from his wagon, three
broken ribs being the result. Some OF his
customers left him, and it is reported
that the police were after him for
illegally dispensing beer, of which he
is said to have consumed considerab bic
himself, although never getting intoxi-
Gated.
Mr.. Rehfuss was born in Wurtemburg,
Germany, As years ago, and had lived in
Providence % years. Previous to going
to Eddy street, he lived on Richmond
street. Besides widow he leaves three
children, two boys and one girl, the
eldest, a boy, being Is years OF age. A
sister, Mrs. Narmen, also survives him.
Deceased belonged to a downtown
lodge of the New England Order of Pro-
tertion, BAT it is not known that any other
provision was made for his family, ex-
cept that he owned the house they live
in.
II Is a sad case, and the sympathy Of
the neighbors goes out 10 the bereaved.
The funeral will be held at the house
next Monday at 3 p. m.

that the flesh was literally torn from the
bone and was hanging in loose shreds.

quest had rendered verdict TO the effect
that Budizy had been pounded to death

ing August Heat.
Cholera Infantum Takes On a
Deadlier Aspect
Death Returns Pouring in at
Health Depts.
Fatal 0iarrhea Induced BY Improper
Infant Diet.
No Touch OF Summer Diseases With
Lactated Food.

Eternal vigilance, especially during the
heated season, is the price of baby's
health and very existence.
The fatalities in midsummer among
the infant population are nothing short
OF appalling. The two causes are infantie
indigestion combined with a debilitating,
high temperature. Or, in other words, a
diet united TO baby's needs i'm summer.
The Ill effects of the intense August heat
are far-reaching. Many little ones droop
and pine, without appetite and strength.
Their usual diet fails to nourish or more
often is wholly rejected. In this weakened
condition the mistake OF over-feeding,
that anxious parents too often fall into,
instead OF nourishing the little ones,
only brings on diarrhoea. And diarrhoea,
with tho temperature high up results In
rholera infantum. The extraordinary
mortality from various forms of infantile
indigestion this summer has lead to
careful inquiry, and the best authorities
on the subject IN the large cities have
freely expressed their opinions.
Several OF the best known physicians in
Providence were interviewed yesterday,
and the following question asked:
''In view OF the large death rate this
summer OF infants in Providence what do
The general sentiment OF the profession
was voiced in the following statement
from one OF the most successful practi-
tioners among children. He said:
"There is nothing equal to lactated
food, and its use Is fast becoming general
among the profession. We find that il is
retained on the stomach when all other
food Is rejected or proves burdensome
and menace to the child's health.
"For cholera infantum find il most
valuable, and / generally prescribe it's use
at once when called to attend such cases.
In almost every case where mothers are
unable TO nurse their infants, find that
lactated food answers best OF anything
Many happy mothers in Providence
have used lactated food successfully where
everything else failed. This food has
kept their children strong and well during
the dangerous summer season, and they
have recommended Ii to their friends
who have had the same happy experience.
