In the meantime another dog was killed and

SOUGHT TERRIBLE DEATH.
Woman Tried to End Trouble by Set

ting Fire to Her Clothing.
Pittston, Pa, Nov. 81 Tired and weary
OF the trials and tribulations of this life
and not being the possessor OF a happy
disposition, Mrs. George Roberts, aged for
ty-five years, attempted self-destruction
at her home in Old Forge Tuesday night.
Brooding over the humiliation she suf-
fered in consequence OF quarrel she
had with a Deighbor during the day and
desiring to avoid any further quarrels Mrs.
Roberts set fire to her clothes, hoping
thereby to end all. The time selected for
the commission of the deed was most
favorable, there being nobody in the house
at the time. Mr.. Roberts and the children
had gone out Of the house but short
time, when the desperate woman thrust
her dress into the crate of the stove. So
light was the fabric that the woman was
in n mass of flames almost instantly.
Some persons who were passing at the
time rushed to her assistance and quickly
extiDguished the flames. Had not assist
ance been given the woman would have
been burned to crisp.

QUESTIONS FOR TAXPAYERS

Do you think that the District should
be bonded to pay for a new system
of sewerage and for street extern
sion and improvements?
Do you think that, should a bond bin
pass, any of the money realized
from the sale of these DO nds should
be expended in improving private
real estate holdings outside the city
proper and remote from the great
body of taxpayers?

NOT 4 PHILOSOPHER.

John Sherman is, or has been, a great
man, and what he has done for his
country in the direction of sound and
honest financiering entities him to the
lasting gratitude of his countrymen.
But he has made a great mistake in
writing and talking as he has concern
ing those whom he charges with pre-
venting him from realizing the ambi-
ton of his life. He has wanted and
sought to be president of the United
States. 1t has been "his dream and
hope for nearly a quarter of a. century"
He thinks he has been betrayed and
sold out by those who owed and pro-
fessed loyal allegiance to him, and he
complains about it like one in his first
or his second childhood. He has made
a sorry spectacle of himself and has
said many things which the facts do
not support. 1t is quite natural for a
man whose ambition has been disap-
pointed to have bitter and wild
thoughts, but it is weak and unwise to
let himself loose as Senator Sherman
has done 1t belittles him and does not
bring him that for which he has toiled
and sighed. Senator Sherman has been
a great f1nancier. 1t is evident that he
is not a great philosopher.

startled and asked "What is that
policeman doing here2 Did you send
for him to betray me?" The minister
answered; ''No; they come here often,
and pass in and out" Then the minis
ter went to the door and motioned for
the policeman to take Burkhardt, which
he did. The minister thus explains
the matter: Burkhardt was brought 10
me by Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Guard, who
made his acquaintance at their board
ing house on West Twenty-fifth street.
After the meeting of the praying band
on Monday night he was brought into
the lecture room. There were present
Mr.. and Mrs. Guard, a young lady who
Lives across the street, Burkhardt, and
myself. l said at first 1 would help
him, because I thought he had only
committed some small crime which
could be fixed up, I promised to fix it
up for him while laboring under this
belief. Then took an envelope from
my pocket and proceeded TO write the
addresses Of the places where he had
pawned the stolen jewelry. Finally,
when / saw how enormous the crime
was, knew that I owed something to
society, and would have been guilty OF
a crime myself if hadn't informed the
police. / did tell him when the police
man looked into the lecture room that
the policeman's presence counted fol-
naught, as they were in the habit OF
passing in and out. But the policeman
was a stupid little Dutchman, who
didn't know enough to make the arrest
when he first entered the room. had
to follow him out, and then he argued
with me that there was no complainant
Finally had to order him to arrest the
burglar
1t does not appear from some of the
published accounts that DR.. Hamlir
promised Burkhardt in so many words
that he would not betray him. and il
he did he did SO under misapprehen-
sion" But whether he did or did moi
it is evident that Burkhardt thought
he was safe. His present predicament
raises some very interesting questions
One of them is, When is it necessary
for the good of society, to betray tbs
confidence of repentant sinner? Burk
hardt says he is done with preachers,
and is also of the opinion that while
confession may be pretty good for tn,
soul it is id bad for the body"

in a constant state of agitation, weav-
Ing. in and out, UP and down, like a.
circus tent in a cyclone, There are
earth movements that are being ex-
perienced at all times and In all lands
but they are so slight from month to
month and from year to year that they
generally escape detection, In all the
countries in Europe and in many Of
those in Asia, most notably Corea and
Japan, these fittings are so great as
to be noticed even by the unscientihc
and inexperienced representatives of
the lower castles. Germany seems to be
the seat of greatest European earth
crust agitation, Japan occupying a SINH
lar position in Asia. OF the above two
countries Professor Milne says: TN
both Germany and Japan a tide-like
movement, too great to be produced by
lunar attraction, has been observed
the ground being gently tilted once
| every twenty-four hours and sometimes
twice, in which case the night disturb
ance would be greatest. and in all cases
buildings, trees, etc, stand slightly in

a onnsrIoN OF Dirty.

Theodore Burkhardt is in a prison cell
in New York city and he thinks lie is
there because a minister Of the gospel
has been treacherous to him. Burk-
hardt is of religious as well as a
thievish turn Of mind, and having
stolen a lot Of jewelry his conscience
troubled him so that he wanted to con-
fess. AS he tells Sun reporter: Then
I began to think of my happy days
when 1 had nothing to trouble my con-
science, and I began to feel as if I
wanted to make confession and once
more try to be good. On the following
night / was invited up to Mr. Guard S
room. His wife was there. They are
both Methodists. The subject of re-
ligion was again brought up, and then
I caved in and told Mr.. Guard and
his wife that 1 would have to make a
confession before I could ever enter a
church. Then Mr.. and Mrs. Guard
talked more religion to me, and prom
Used never to reveal anything that I
might tell them. Little by little I
thawed out, until 1 finally told them
the entire story of the $500 worth of
jewels. 1 produced the newspaper clip
ping containing the story of the rob-
berry. They read it and we all cried.
Then we knelt down and prayed. Fin
ally Mr.. Guard said: Come to church
tonight with me and my wife and Wen
make a profession of faith"
They all went to the Methodist church
of which the Rev. DR.. Hamlin is pas
tor. Burkhardt made a complete con-
fession to DR.. Hamlin, on the condi-
ton, as he says, that the doctor would
not betray him to the police. a few
minutes later a policeman appeared
opened the door of the room and looked
in. Burkhardt was naturally a little
