DID HE DIE OF POISON?
Murderer Frank Novels Supposed t.
Have Eaten Match Heads.

When Frank Novels died at the coun-
ty Jail a short time ago it was thought
by a great many that he probably
caused his own death He was known
to have eaten soap at one time. This
belief is now strengthened by the we'll
founded suspicion that Mrs. Matson's
murderer ate matches.
]. r. McNary, one of NeveIs lawyers
says that whenever he held a confer
ence with his client in the jailers room
Novels would put two of three boxes of
matches into his pocket. He began do
ing this in the early part of 1895, be
fore his first trial. Mr.. McNary held
dozens of consultations with his client
and every time as the lawyer arose to
go Novels hurriedIy slipped a couple of
boxes of matches into his pocket be-
fore the jaiIer came in.
The lawyer wondered somewhat
that the prisoner should use so many
matches, but did not think he was put
ting them to the use he probably did
until after his death.
Doctors say that the wholesale eat
ing of match heads, if continued for
so long a time as a year, would cause
poisoning and probably death. The
murderer may have soaked the heads
in water and drank off the potion.

How should a baseball player train?
There are many methods in use and man

most astounding revelation concerning
training comes from Captain Arson In
his list Of exercises is skipping the rope.
The giddy thing He says, III next give

first presented itself made nothing of it,
but quietly allowed the whole benefit to
be gathered by others. Yet such is the
case. When asked recently why it was
that he had made no effort to secure the
laureIs and more substantial benefits which
MOULD have been his. Mr.. Starley smiled
and replied: "WelI, it was simply because
there were patents in existence of the diff

ticable. Besides my previous experience
of patents had been SO unsatisfactory that
