An Authentic Case of Death by Great
Sorrow.

Chicago. Nov. 27.-Anna B. Clark died
Of broken heart-actually and ply

She died suddenly in Chicago a week
ago Monday and her remains We're

ton that a physician. examining the
body asked if Miss Clark had recently
suffered any great sorrow or shock.
He was told tnat she had been IN
formed that total blindness was near
and inevitable The physician said
that there was a heart lesion and that
one of the few authentic recorded
deaths from a heart-brea by sorrow
was hers.
There is not a lawyers Office in Chi
cago where Anna B. Clarke was not
known She was an almost weekly
visitor at the law Offices in the big Of

quietly that her presence was bare ,

woman had an Office in the Methodist
church block. She sold law station

LET MP ON KANSAS.

IFrom the Springfield (Mass) Repub-
ncan.l
Two great and virtuous journals
published in the highly moral cities OF
New York and Chicago continue to as
sauIt the state of Kansas, because that
commonwealth preferred at the last
election the Populism of LeweIling.
Leedy and Doster to the Republican
ism of Cy Leland and the editor of the
Emporia Gazette
In answer to The Suns sneers at .'the
bad eminence of Kansas" it might be
said that Kansas provides school
buildings for her children, which is
more than the city of New York is do
ing About So 900 boys and girls Of
school age were turned away from the
school doors last September in our
great metropolis because there were no
accommodations for them Now, while
we regret that the Populists have car
ried Kansas. it is only fair to say that
Kansas provides we'll for the education
Of her youth.
Out In Chicago. that model commun-
ity by the lake. The Times Herald also
has a fling at Kansas. saying that she
stands condemned at the bar of public
opinion as no state has ever been since
the Union was formed" And all be-
cause she elected the Popuhst ticket.
1t might, in simple fairness be we'll to
remind Chicago that Populist though
she be. Kansas is years behind Chi
cago in breeding a class of thinkers
who throw dynamite bombs at the po-
lice.
Other points of comparison between
Kansas and our two imperial cities
would be interesting. For example.
there is four times as much church
going in Kansas, in proportion to the
population, as there is in New York
and Chicago. four times as much So
briefly. and four times as much moral
cleanliness. If more than half Of the
people of Kansas want cheaper money,
they have not vet developed "hnan-
ciers" who become millionaires by rail
road wreczing and breaking the laws
If Kansas has her PETERS, New York
has her Jay Goulds Any observer
with half an eye can see All these
things
So let up on Kansas. She will worry
along with as little infraction Of the
ten commandments as New York and
Chicago.

AN EX-CONDUCTOR

Chicago. Nov. IA question growing
out Of the great railroad strike Of 1894
as to whether TWO corporations can le-
gally make an agreement not TO en-
ploye a discharged employe without a
release or the written consent of the

cided by Judge Windes next Saturday
Simeon W Rilea was for a mum Der of
years in the employ of Pullman's Pal
ace Car company. but lost his position
on account of the strike. He sued the
Pullman company and A. GarcelOn. its
superintendent. for S25, 600 Rilea filed
a declaration in which he alleges that
the defendants entered into a conspira-
cy with other companies to prevent him
from securing employment. The plain
tiff further declares that the Pullman
company said that he had been dis
charged for failure to make proper re-
turns Of money which he collected,
statement which he says is slanderous.
The case came up befOreJudga Windes
on demurrer of the company to the
declaration and the attorney for the de-
PENDANT argued that the agreement be-
lWeen corporations as TO employing dis
charged employees, if such an agreement
exists, is not unlawful. Judge Windes
decided that Rilea's charge of SANDER is
barred by limitations. but continued the
case for further argument on the ques
ton of alleged boycott.

fresh, good, bad or Indifferent.
Some of the named refrigerators
are no better than dry goods
boxes; the lining is not right
and the system Of draught and
air circulation is defective.
In the United States there
were complaints against the
Quincy, complaints we had not
heard of here. When we were

took the trouble to investigate
and learned that the objections
were all right, but they were
against the Quincy Challenge

We sell the Cleanable, were
appointed sole agents for the
Hawaiian Islands and we don't
sell any other. The Quincy
Cleanable is lined with mineral
wool, the greatest non-conductor

Challenge is lined with charcoal
and is a cheap combination that
is unserviceable.

frigerators, some excellent ones
but none equal the Quincy
