A Private Letter Box.
Darling said that he fought against
sickness and tried to keep up but it
was impossible. His wife, he said,
spent much of her time gossiping at
DR.. Spranger's office or with his
friends. Darling stated that he became
worse and DIR. Spranger came to him
with a drug which he said he had
received from Paris. 4 hypodermtc

He said that he talked for nineteen

medicine. He began to recover after
that. In November he left for New

THE LAST BATTLE
Butchery Is Said to Have EQuailed
the Atrocities Mt Port Arthur.


the Atrocities at Port Arthur.
New York. May 1S.-The World has the
following special advices from Tokia via
San Francisco:
The last battle of the war between ia
pan and China at Tien Chwang Tai
March 10. resulted in a butchery equal to
the atrocities of Port Arthur. It demon
strated that the soldiers of both Oriental
faces are as bloodthirsty and brutal as
khe American Indians.
The Custer massacre was not more hor-
rible than the slaughter of Chinese by the
Japanese at Tien Chwang Tai Tien
Glen Chwang Tai is in Manchuria, only a
few miles from New Chwang. The Chi
.aese under General Sung had fortified it.
Forty thousand Japanese infantry and
5000 cavalry and artillery attacked Cen
eral Sung's position March 8. from three
sides. The Chinese were quickly routed
and the japanese army entered the town
and began the slaughter Though 1400
Chinese were killed. only one wounded
Chinaman was taken prisoner.
The wounded were dispatched on the
field in the American Indian style. The
town was sacked and burned. Letters
from eye witnesses describe the butchery
as horrible.

DYING DECLARATION.
EDWARD DARLING TELLS HOW HE
WAS TORTURED.
Story Told By n Man on His Death
Bed Reads Like n Chapter from
Sensational NoveI-TOrtures of
the Damned.

New York, May 1.-THE dying
declaration of Edward Irving Darling,
the composer, has been filed with othes
documents in the district attorneys
office in the case in which Flora Adams
Darling, mother of Edward Irving Dar)
ling, accuses DR.. Spranger of having
poisoned her son. Soon after the death
of Darling, DR.. Spranger married his
widow. They are now in California.
The affidavit made by Edward Irving
Darling was written partly by himself
in the presence of witnesses q few
hours before his death. In the states
ment he tells how, in December, 1890,
he met with an accident when attempt
ing to save property for a firm he was
with in Detroit.
The Intimacy Begins.
DR.. o. Betz was the surgeon and DR..
Spranger the physician who attended
him. He declared that intimacy be-
tween DIR. Spranger and Mrs. Darling;
his wife, began during his illness. Con-
corning this intimacy, Darling alleges
Prior to her acquaintance with Dr.
Spranger we lived happily. From that
date she was q different woman. Where
she udu DSeA dulldDle, agreeable ana
cheerful, she was now petulant, vim
dictive and arbitrary. L seemed to be
the object of her antipathy''
Darling said that this was in the
spring of 1892, and UP to that time his
health was perfect. Early in March he
had a severe attack Of what was called
cholera morbus. He did not recover.
but kept attending to business. DR.,
Spranger, he said. frequently gave him
medicines which seemed to afford him
temporary relief, but ultima tely left
him in worse condition.
In few weeks, his weight from las
went down to ninety-eight pounds. He
was sick without being able to find out
what was the matter and continues:

Annex to "A Laboratory.
Darling declared that his wife con-
tinued to grow vindictive and abusive
without the slightest provocation
This treatment continued after their
return to Detroit, where he grew
worse. DR.. Spranger attended him
The statement continues as follows:
The variety and quality of drugs
he CDR. SprangeD poured into me was
sufficient to justify CHASING me as an

prescriptions. only medicines. I failed
rapidly. The effect produced was a

LOVES FIRES.

He set ablaze the fires of love
That Smouldered in her breast,
And kindled high the flaming pile
With words his heart confessed.
He swore his love had known no birth
Until he saw her face;
Twas like the breaking of a dawn
Indnitude of grace.
And thus the fires were kept atiame
With fuel eft supplied.
But Death made him it's shining mark
Ere she became a bride.

That burned so rich and mellow
They were kept burning as before.

AN ANCIENT COSTUME ABOLISHED.

The levee costume worn by the mover
and seconder of the address to the throne
is a survival of the time when at first in

on the floor of the house in court attire.
Lord North, who was K. G., was uSu-
ally, when prime minister. referred to in
debate as the noble lord in the blue rib

sion Mr. Fenwick, NJ. P, who seconded
the address, departed from the practice.

that greeted him as he rose proved that
the house was in sympathy with him in
this abrogation of an antiquated and
somewhat unnecessary practice.-West-

London, May 12.-The Daily News
says that the annual meeting of the
sharers at Monte Carlo lasted for
three days from 10 in the morning
until midnight, dinner being eaten
during each meeting. There was a
pitched battle between the partisans
of the prince of Monaco and the de-
scendants of Blanc. The princes
party won. They will retrench in the
