the admission Of the graphophone as

way company for damages alleged to
have been caused by the noise result
ing from railroad operations near his
property, and his counsel sought to
have a graphophone reproduction Of

GOSSIP OVER A woMAN's DEATH

Centre Ossipec, n. H., Sept. 1.-THE
death from opium poisoning, apparently,
Of Mrs. j. II. Hatch, wife of Or. j. Il.
Hatch, on Saturday night, has awakened
great interest here, as II remains TO be
determine il her death was an act OF
suicide. An autopsy was held by Cor
Cner Lougee, and il is not yet completed d.
the jury being excused until the viscera
OF the dead woman Is examined by cx-
perts. The autopsy thus far shows that
all the organs were normal.
Or. Hatch says that when he left the
house Saturday evening his wife was all
right. ON his return he found her lying
unconscious on the bed, fully dress d.
with an empty laudanum bottle by her
side. lie at once used the stomach
pump, but falling TO obtain relief FOR the
woman, he sent for another physician.
who did not arrive in time to save Mrs.
Hatch.
The neighbors. who had seen that Mrs.
Hatch was all right apparently earlier
I'm the day. were greatly surprised at the
death. and as there had been stories of
domestic troubles in the Hatch family
they sought and obtained an investiga- .
tion. Dr. Hatch was not detained. and
while the autopsy will determine the
cause OF death the suicide theory seems
the only plausible one.

With yesterdays funeral demonstra-

of the victims of Fridays shooting on

critical point In the MIXERS strike seems
TO be passed.
Some two thousand troops are on duty

small by contrast to the army OF men I'D

yidual outbreakings, threats, and assaults,
but the general uprising that was feared.
and that seemed to be ripe, Is probably no
longer possible.
We are bound TO hear more or less
alarming rumors from the affected dis
trict for some days TO come, certainly
until everything is so we'll quieted. down
that the troops may be dispensed with.
But it appears to be reasonably assured
that serious trouble is at an end, that
the tide of disorder reached its greatest
height Friday and the uneasiness which
the funerals Of the victims OF that awful
day is bound to create once over the
region will settle down and the men go
back to work.
In all this broad country this unfortu-
nate strike is the only factor of distur-
bance in the general movement upward
to new and happier times, after three
disastrous and disheartening years.

NO PRISONS IN ICELAND.

In Iceland there are no prisons and the inhab-
itants are so honest in their habits that such
dcfenses to property as locks, bolts and bars
are not required; nor are there anv police in
the island. Yet its history for 1000 years
records no more than two thefts. OF these
two cases one was that of a native, who was
detected after stealing several sheep, but as
hc had done so TO supply his family, who were
suffering for want Of food, when he had
broken his arm provisions were furnished TO
them and work was found for him when able
TO do it, and meanwhile ho was placed under
medical care; but the stigma attached TO his
crime was considered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was by n German. who stole
seventeen sheep. But as he was In COM
Portable circumstances and the robbery was
malicious, the sentence passed upon him was
that ho should sell all his property, restore
the value of what ne had stolen ana then leave
the country or be executed, and no left AT
once

A RAILROADS. HAPPY THOUGHT.

Some time ago The News took ocuasion
to tell about the proposition of the
Illinois Central Railroad To give its en-
| ployes opportunity 20 become stock
| holders, by purchasing shares on tho In
stalment plan. one share at time at
| par.
As was To have been expected, tho plan
according TO the report of tho railroad
has worked most happily. Three hundred
and ninety mine officers and employees OF
| the road, outside the directorate, have be-
come owners of 1869 shares, while more
than 1900 have made partial payments on
stock under t.ye plan pat in operation.
The unique plan Is working thus, most
successfully, while today with l. q. stock
risen TO 100 or no. the employees are still
able to buy at par.
But whether contemplated by the di-
reotoIs or not, the plan is proving advan-
tageous in another way than that directly
proposed. IL appears that the stock in
the railroad is being bought by people
whose homes are along it's lines some
of these purchases being quite extensive.
The result is expected 90 be that the
railroad will become, as our New Eng
land railroad properties so largely
are. more nearly home and local invest
ments than the Western roads usually
are. The big roads in the West are, as
the expression goes. owned "in Wall
street" but the Illinois Central expert
ment for the advantage of its employees
is plainly turning out to be most signiti-
cantly advantageous in Identifying with
IL local loyalty and investment-a very
Wholesome thing. To still further on
courage this manifestation, the directc rate
offers free transportation to stockholders
meetings from the station on its line
nearest the residence of the stockholder to
the headquarters In Chicago and return.
AS the Illinois Central's management
points out an easy plan tor securing this
desirable result in the case of employees
is ominently calculated to induce others
residing in the same neighborhoods TO in
vest their savings in the stock of the com
panies particularly IL knowledge Of their
condition and traffic and confidence in the
conservatism Of their management and
confidence in their dividend paying
ability are makers of personal knowledge.

FROM OTHER LANDS.

There has just died in Paris a lady whose
fortune il was at the early age OF three
months to play "A romantic part in the great
Napoleonic drama. At the time of her birth,
in 1915, her father. Colonel Paul of the
Twenty seventh French Infantry, commanded
the garrison OF Toul. On the news Of Ma
poleon's return from Elba he hurried south
to join his old master. leaving I'm charge Of
his wife not merely the baby Adele, but also
tho colors Of his regiment. In due course
Toul was taken. and the victors sought high
and low for the missing flag. Nine. Paul.
with her baby in her arms, had perforce to
take pretended share in the search, which
proved fruitless, as she had cunningly
wrapped it round Mile. Adele's little body
underneath her baby clothes. The little girl
lived TO marry NJ. RomaRe Gaze, the well
known decorative artist. whose work may be
seen in so many Partisan churches. The
coors were restored TO the regiment, but the
cords and tassels, long retained as souvenirs
of the Paul family, will now be given to the
Musee dc lArmee.
