A FATE.
Terrible Death OF Mrs. De Puyster a
Dayton, Ohio.

Dayton, O., Oct. 1O.-Residents OF the
tenderioin district this morning saw a
column of flames in the rear yard OF the
home OF William De Puyster. In the
midst of the flames was found Mrs. De
Puys;er, and before aid could be rem.
dered she was dead, the clothing being
burned from her body and her flesh lit
orally roasted. The kitchen OF the house
was covered with oil spots and frag.
ments OF a broken lamp were found in
the house and yard. De Puyster when
found could give no explanation OF what
had occurred, and was placed under ar
rest on suspicion Of murder. Neighbors
say he and his wife had been quarreling
all night.
Maggie Greathouse, who was on the
second floor Of the building all night,
was taken into custody by the officers
az a witness. She gives no light on the
case beyond the starting Of the quarrel
shortly after midnight and tells OF a for>
mer attempt by De Puyster to kill his
wife several months ago. At that time
when he was arrested for disorderly con-
duct, she says, after a ]protracted quar-

The enthusiasm and the curiosity pro

never been equailed in the history of the

temperament, quick intelligence, passion,
nervous mobility, grace, smile, voice,
charm, poetry-Mme. Sarah Bernhard
has them all.

her profession as though her career were

during rehearsals as though each per-
Torrance were her first night"
No one is more conscientious in all mat
tiers pertaining to her life work. She
knows the incalculable value of health.
strength and high spirits as thoroughly
as she comprehends the terms of her

she how essential to her artistic success

Nine. Bernhard writes the following
letter:

your instructions, I have used Paine's
celery compound, and 1 am convinced
that it is the most powerful nerve

done so in thousands of carefully observed
cases.
The nervous dibility, sleeplessness and
kidney disorder that seems so threaten

out of the system.
Many a woman worn out by exciting
anxious work, win find her strength

her overtaxed nerves regulated and
nourished by the use of Paine's celery
compound. Paine's celery compound
braces and invigorates the relaxed nerv-

humors from the blood. 1t makes the
appetite hearty and the digestion
thorough; it permanently cures indi-
gestion, a sluggish action of the liver

Judge Bradley based his decision in the
Shriver case on two points, first, that the
witness had not been legally summoned,
and second, that the question asked him
was not pertinent.
The contention of the defense that com
mUnicatons to newspaper men are priVi-
legged as a class, the same as are com
munications to priests lawyers and ply
sicians, the court refused to sustain, but
as the court did, on the other hand, hold
that to ask the witness the name of his
informant was not a pertinent question,
the counsel for the defense now hold that
a precedent is established which virtually
brings newspaper witnesses within the
privileged class.

BEN HUR SPECTACLE.
Mrs. H. j. Anderson, Director, Has
Selected the Chaperones...A Most
Deserving Charity.

Mrs. II. j. Anderson has accepted the
direction of the Ben Hur production
that is to be given in the rockingham
on Jan. 20, q and % for the benefit of
the summer home of the Mems guild
of st. Luke's Episcopal church. For
chaperones of the groups of characters
in the dances, tableaux, etc, Mrs. An
derson has selected the following:
Priestesses of Apolo-Mrs. William T.
Smith, Mrs. James Archibald, Mrs Henry
Bcin, jr.
Nymphs of Daphne-Mrs. j. Ben Dim

Sprites and Butterhies-AIrs Frank Jer
myn, Mrs. Charles X. Parke.
Naiads-Mrs. George Hallstead, Mrs. II.
b. Ware.
Palmer Kellogg, who will drill the
performers, is in the city and will
begin work as soon as is completed the
selection of the ladies and gentlemen
for the different groups. The selecting
has been progressing very faVorably.
The rehearsals will be conducted in
st. Lukc's parish rooms, 122 Washing
ton avenue.
The charity which is back of the Ben
Hur production is positively non-Sec-
tartan in it's character. The Summer
Home of the Mems guild is not de-
signed for paupers but for several
years has accommodated during the
heated season scores of deserving poor
women and their children, people who
are not subjects for the poor authori-
ties but who are, nevertheless, deserv-
ing objects of care and attention.
The Summer Home has been a boon
to the Scranton poor district in having
saved it from having as charges the
class of people strengthened by an
outing and fitted to support them
selves,
Ben Hur deserves and will probably
receive the support that has been given
the kirmesses. Certainly no Scranton
| charity is more open in its non-sectar-
! ianism, and no Scranton charity per-
! forms a similar kind of work.

They stole No Geese or Chickpns

We're stolen from one Nora Dempsey,
of Johnson'S Patch. Mrs. Bridget Mel
ody a resident of that classic neigh
borhood, for some reason which is not
made apparent in the papers, formed
in her mind the conclusion that the
stealing was done by Thomas Quinn
and that he was aided and abetted
in the fowl deed by Bridget Finnerty.
At all events, she, it is alleged, in
a public place and at divers times, in
a loud voice declared of Mrs. Finnerty
that she pluCked and cooked and
helped to eat the goose of Nora Demp~
sey." Then at another place and time
and with the same SonorouSnesS of
tone but in unmeasured verse said of
Thomas Quinn: You stole the geese.
You are chicken thief. You are the
one who stole the chickens and geese.
Tommy stole the chickens and the
geese and ate them"

Mrs. Keogh AYERS that her uncle in
sured himself with the defendant
company in the sum of $500 making
the policy payable to her and giving 1t
into her possession. Soon after the
death of the insured, an agent of the
company, she says, came to her house
and secured the policy and receipt
book by representing that it was nee
essary to send them on to the home
Office before the money could be sent
to her. The only thing she has heard
from the company since is that the
claim has been settled with one of her
relatives.
The Industrial is the company which

ex-agents who said that the company
