SANTA FEIN DANGER.
High Water at Kansas City Threat
ems q Mile of Track

Kansas City. March 26.-Since the Mis-
souri, river first began to rise, about
week ago. it has washed away nearly %
feet of the bank at a point about 21e miles
east of the Air line depot. If erosion con-
tinues at this rate the river will in 10
days wash out a section of the Santa Fe
tracks nearly a mile in length.
The banks at this point, where the river
channel bends northWard, is being washed
away at most alarming rate. Every few
minutes during the past five days chunks
Of earth as big as box cars have been I'M
dermind and have dropped into the
water with great splashes. Santa Fe en-
gineers We're upon the ground yesterday
to see what could be done toward stay
ing the encroachment of the river They
refused to state what, if anything they
proposed to do, but it is evident that or
binary rip-raping will not be adequate. as
the water is so deep and the current so
swift that hundreds of carloads of stone
would do little, if any, good.

WALDORF DOLL SHOW.
Mrs. Bradley Martin and Mrs. W. G.
Whitney Among the Prize Givers.

New York, March 26-The world of fash
ion took private view of the model doll
show in the large ballroom of the Wal
dorf this afternoon. This evening and
throughout the week the show will be
open to the public This unique idea is an
exhibition of dress under fashionable pat
ronage to aid the Scarlet Fever and Diph-
liberia Hospital and to establish a perma>
nent model doll show. The real idea is to
afford American dressma<ers and design
ers opportunity to display their origi-
nality and ingenuity in anything relating
to the feminine toilet, and to combat the
monopoly of Paris and Vienna in setting
the fashions.
The costumes displayed are not alone by
dressmakers and modistes of this city.
Pittsburg has sent an exhibit. while Bos-
ton and Chicago have several groups.
Among all the bellies of the little women
the tables when the show opened for
the private exhibition today, it was not
easy to choose the favorites. Prizes of
800 each are offered, nevertheless, and
fashion experts must name the best BIZ
cycle suit, the daintiest garden party dress
for Mrs. OelrichS' prize, the SmarteSt
street gown for Mrs. Bradley Martins
prize, and the most elegant dinner and
ball dress for the prize offered by Mrs.
William c. Whitney. Each exhibitor has
an attendant present to explain the in
tricacieS of the creation"

SCARED TO DEATH.
This is Literally What Happened to
Miss PaulSon

Chicago, March 26.-Elizabeth Paul
son, aged Is years, is dead from the eff
fects of fright. Such is the opinion of
the attending physician, and the coro
ner's jury so found after listening to his
testimony and that of the family.
Miss Paulson was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Paulson, respected Ger
man people. She was a comedy young
woman, and was the special care of her
parents, although there were sons and
other daughters in the little house
hold
Last Friday evening Elizabeth and
younger sister, ThOra, were alone with
their mother. When the two girls went
to their rooms to retire, they took no
light with them, for their chamber was
but a step from the dining room.
Thora found occasion TO go back to
the other part of the house and left her
sister for a moment. An instant later
a frightful scream came from the room
and Elizabeth rushed out, calling pit
eOuSly for help. Mrs. PauISOn came to
her assistance, but it was some time be-
fore the girl could speak plainly enough
for her mother to understand the cause
of her sudden terror. At length she was
able to say that there was strange
man in her room.
By this time other members of the
family had arrived, and they Joined in
making an investigation of the room.
To everybody's surprise nothing was
found that approached the likeness of a
man more nearly than WOman'S cloak
and hat, which hung on the wall in
position where the light from the neigh
boring gas lamp cast a strange shadow
about it.
This it seems, is what Miss Paulson
had seen-the cause of her terror. For
the time the matter was taken by the
family as a good joke. All the efforts
to calm the girl however, proved futile
She seemed to be in a constant condi-
ton of terror and nothing could relieve
her of the frightful vision.
Symptoms of epilepsy developed, the
periods of Inconsistencies grew more
Observation-Disclosures yesterday she
died.
Speaking of the strange case, the at
tending physician said:
There seems to be no doubt Miss
Paulson's death was caused by fright.
The girl was of a nervous disposition"
Mr. Paulson, the father, said: Il have
no doubt they are right in saying that
she was scared to DEATH

Relieved in q Day or Two.

New York, March 26-Dr. Chauncey
NJ. Depew, who is suffering from iritis,
was unable to visit his office today. 1t
is not expected that he viii be confined
long, for his aff1iction. while extremely
painful for the time being, is not con-

it is generally of short duration.
Iritis is an Inflammation of the eye,

substance.
DR.. Depew had a prescription filled at

New York, March 26.-It seems to be
quite a fad with the large real estate
owning families to build new or alter

purposes.
The Astors and GoeIets have long
been known as owners of hotel and res
taurant properties in various parts Of
the city and recently the AStors have
altered two or three buildings, adapting
them to restaurant uses.

HARRISON TALKS REFORM.
President Addresses the Students
at Ann Arbor on Corporations.


Ann Arbor, Mich, March Eek
President Harrison delivered a strong
and fOrcible address upon Some Hin
ORANGES to Reform in Law before 5000
students in University hall here last
night He spoke in part as follows:
''Five-sixths of the voters of the
country favor a revision of corporation
laws, limiting the purposes for which
corporations may be organized, super
Vising the issuance of stocks and bonds,
and putting other restraints upon them.
An even larger proportion of our people
would give their emphatic support to
the proposition that tax burdens should
fall equally upon all property. But
they do not, as everyone knows. Lands,
houses, live stock, and implements of
trade cannot be hidden; stocks and
bonds can be, and the assessor has no
way of checking the list
"A way must be devised to place cor
pOratiOnS under proper restraint and to
bring to the tax roll the vast aggregate
of untaxed personal property, but it
will never be accomplished by impulsive
methods of 60 day legislation.
THE executive and judicial forces of
the government act quickly and direct
ly;
the conditions surrounding them and
the greater complications of the queS-
tions before them, seem to be made
Quate. 1t is more difficult to make wise
laws than to interpret and execute
them. 1t seems to me that the great re-
form laws must be framed by commits
sions composed of the ablest men in the
states.
They must have time thoroughly to
study the subject. Opportunity must be
given to the interests to be affected and
to the public to present suggestions and
objections. There should be no attempt
to bring in the millennium on the NOR
row. 1t would be too sudden. The
ideal cannot be reached at a step, but
we should face and move that way"
