Tragic End Of Notable Woman and
Her Daughter.


Tragic End Of a Notable Woman and
Her Daughter.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and her daughter
Hattie were found dead in bed at their
home In San Francisco Friday morning,
having been asphyxiated by gas. For over
q year Miss Cooper had been known to her
friends to be insane. Her insanity was
melancholia with suicidal tendencies. Miss
Cooper probably arose quietly during the
nieht and closed all the doors, turned on
the gas and then returned TO her bed to
die. Mrs. Cooper was widely known as an
educator, philanthropist and writer. She
was president of the woman's press asso-
citation, president of the woman's suffrage
association and prominent as an officer OF
the Woman's Christian Temperance I'M
ion. In 1894 she was elected treasurer OF
the Worlds Federct; IA OF WoInen's clubs.

her pastor. Later she and her daughter
became his opponents and acolsers.
Mrs. Cooper was born in Cszekovia, N.
Y, 81 years ago and was member of the
famous Ingersoll family. Her husband,
Halsey Fenimore Cooper, was at one lime
editor of the Chattanooga Advertiser. AR.
Cooper killed himself in San FrancSNco L
years ago. Perhaps no more fittingNrib'
ute to Mrs. Cooper could be written ehan
that penned by her cousin, Col. Robert In
gersoll, the in6del. Upon giving Mrs,
Cooper one of his books attacking the reli-
gion of the churches he wrote upon the
fly leaf: 'If all Christians we're like my
cousin Sarah this book would never have

The steamer struck during the night on a
ledge of rocks. A large amount OF wreck

The passengers of the Salier must near

great majority thus drowned before they
could get on deck, for no bodies with life

turned over to the Franklin county Off
cials and after trial sent TO states prison.

All visitors to Paris rave about the

of the ways followed by restaurants
and chefs. At the lower class of Paris
restaurants a very ingenious fraud has
been in practice for half a century.
They make beef tea or bouillon without
beef-warm water cOlored and favored
with burned onions and caramel as
bOuillon. To supply the little grease
bubbles which connoisseurs demand
vas the only trouble. Finally a cook hit
upon the ingenious device of blowing
a spoonful of fresh oil over the soup
The oil Immediately fosms in tiny
beads on the surface and there is your
soup. Nowadays every cafe of this sort
has its emplOye aux yeuX de bOuillon

Parisians of q certain class are i'm
mensely fond of ham, so much so that
the number of hans eaten in Paris
could not be furnished 10y all the pigs
killed in France, even allowing for the
shoulder as well as the leg being cured
this being the French practice. The
demand is supplied by buying up old
liam bones and ingeniously inserting
them into pieces of picked pork, which
are trimmed into shape, covered with
grated bread crusts and then sold for
lam. In this way bone does duty
for hundreds of times. Still, the sup,
| ply of bones was limited. and it was
not inconyenient to be put out if ones
reighbor did not return the ham bone
which the dealer relied upon securing

turing ham bones wholesale, and made
fortune from the sale of these arti-
fetal foundations. Nowadays, there
