TONIGHT.

Tonight almost envy you
Your quiet bed that seems
Too narrow for the coming in
OF any noise or dreams.
So when the earth is not too lard
A moist and pleasant mold
With dandelions here and there,
Like scattered bits Of gold,
Then maybe shall break my way
The earth and grasses through,
And smiling with my drowsy eyes
Shall come to sleep with you.

for colds, and u well.known French sJl.
eEtilic writer, Henri de Parvlle, has
written some notes on their prevention

there Is the slightast symptom OF n cold
tho sufferer should rinse the mouth ire.
queutly with some antlsepiic fluid, such
rs solution of carboic acid and should
inhale through tho nose the smell OF this
fluid. This treatment serves to keep off
the germa which are likely to cause cold. .
II YOU catch cold through getting your
feet wet, In addition to tho treatment of
the mouth and nose by dlsinfectants,
plunge the feet Ia cold water. Usually,

PHILADELPHIA, March l. - Lambert
Doakons, aged 30 years, literally died from
starvation at his bare and empty home,
ei0l North Twenty-fourth street, yestcr-
day. When discovered by neighbors he
was specchless from hunger, and by the
time doctor arrived he was dead. In an
adjoining room lay the almost lifeloss
body of his wife, who is now in a critical
condition. She was barely able to say that
they had eaten nothing for several days.
A few weeks ago Deakons fell ill., lost his
work, and was finally forced to his bed.
They were penniless, but he strcnuously
forbade his wife from seeking charity.
Eventually the neighbors missed them,
and when the discovery WAS made pro.

What was advertised to be the greatest
thing in the city of Wilmington" occurred
at Gilbert Chapel last night.
1t was a debate between six colored
women, three married and three single, as
to whether married or single women had
done most for the elevation of their sex.
The debate was both interesting anu in
structive. Those who spoke for the mar
red women were: Mrs. Lizzie Jackson,
Mrs. Emma Seney and Mrs. Anna Price; for
the single women, Miss C. N. Elias, Miss
Carrie Sterling and Miss Gertrude Baldwin.
The married women took the ground that
1t was in the home and by the influence of
the mother that even sle single women
who have done much for their sex had re-
ceived the start and the inspiration. The
arguments produced were good and to the
point
Mrs. Jackson spoke very ably in defence
of the married women. She had evidently
given the subject great deal of thought.
The single women from the standpoint of
an unprejudiced person had very much the
better of the argument. Miss Elias started
the attack on the married women's lines,
and the single women had evidently scored
victory when Mrs jackson. by her wit,
caused a stay of judgment for the time
being. Miss Elias started In by putting the
audience in a good humor. Eve, she said,
was the only woman she ever knew that
was born married. Eve has always been ac
cused Of being the first sinner. but IL was
Satan who did the wrong, and he was the
man. The trouble was that Eve was fiirt-
ing with Satan, and that has always been
the way; married women will lrt. Mar
ried women. she said, have not the time to
do good that their single sisters have. 1t is
natural for a married woman to be sell
fish. With her it is my child, my husband.
She thought that mothers we're coming far
short Of their duties in not telling their
daughters many things that they should
know.
Mrs. Jackson spoke about the influence of
women ON literature, and showed that many
married women had distinguished them
selves in the world of letters.
Miss Sterling and Miss Baldwin also used
good arguments in favor of the single
woman. Mrs. Price and Mrs. Seney also
made good arguments. After the debate
committee consisting Of William Grinnage,
William Winston and Daniel Smith decided
that the married women had made fourteen
points and the single ones nine points.
Every man on the committee was a married
man.

FORTUNE IN HER OLD AGE.
Widow of Wealthy Chicagoan Discovered
AftoE Many Years,


CHICAGO, March IA discovery has been
made by Attorney Beale, of Georgetown,
d. c., which will affect large financial in
terests, Mr.. Beale has discovered in Mary
land tho aged woman who was the first
wife Of the late John McCaffery, of this
city, an eccentric millionaire This means
thet one-third of the personal property of
tho estate will Immediately pass to her,
besides giving her claim on the real es-
tate. The Maryland woman is now In the
eighties.
The most extraordinary feature of this
new phase of the McCaffery matter ia that
the discovery that the first wife of the
dead millionaire is alive will cloud the
title to millions of dollars worth Of Chi
cago property, most of 1t situated in that
part Of the city known as the town Of Lake.
After reaching prosperity in Chicago Nc
Gallery, in common with other rich men,
made practice of investing his surplus
money in the purchase of tax titles. In
every one Of these deeds McCaffery signed

had been paid by him aftcr default by the

When John McCafrery died, year or so
