MURDERS AND SUICIDES.
Prominent Family at Pittsburg Has
Been Wiped Out.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 14.-Edward
Beilstein, brother of Bertha Beilstein,
who killed her mother and attempted
to kill herself. added another CHAPTER
to the tragedy which surrounded the
family, by killing himself last night
on the grave of his mother.
His body was found at Z o'clock TINS
morning, and beside it was a note that
indicated that he had committed SUI
eide. There were no marks OF violence,
and the inference is that Beilstein took
poison. The Beilstein family was quite
wealthy. and occupied a prominent po-
sition IN German circles on the north
side. a little over a year ago j. F.
Beilstein, the father, died, after an ILL
ness of a few hours. Six weeks ago
yesterday Bertha shot her mother to
death and inflicted four wounds with
a revolver on herself. She is still iv-
ing. but cannot recover. her physicians
say. Within "a hours after her attempt
to !-ilI herself. Davis Reich. an old
man who lived with the family, laid
himself on the Fort Wayne tracks in
lower Allegheny, in front Of an ap-
Droaching train, and was killed.

PREFERRED DEATH TO MANILA
LIEUTENANT DRESSED OF THE
NAVY COMMITS SUICIDE.
Killed Himself Because He Was Or
dered to the Philippines-Belonged
to a Prominent Family.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 14.-Lieutenant
Herman G. Dressel of the United
States navy committed suicide in the
Carrollton hotel today by shooting him
self in the head. Dressed after reaching
this city went to the Carrollton toilet
room and locked the door behind him.
Almost Immediately thereafter a pistol
shot alarmed the employees of the
house and a search showed that Dres-
sci was dead. In one of his pockets
was found an order from Secretary
Long, dated Nov. II, detaching Dres-
sci from the Essex and ordering him to
join the Zafiro. A telegram addressed
to Lieutenant c. II. Fahrs, in Washing
ton, and signed by Dressed, which was
found on the dead man, requested
Fales to exchange orders with the
writer, and it was evidently the lnten-
ton of Dressed to have sent this.
Lieutenant Dressed was well known
in the pay office and custom house
here. No one could assign any cause
for the act, except his unwlllingness to
go to Manila. He is described as a
pleasant, cheerful man, with no known
! troubles.
Dressed was about 40 years of age
He entered the navy on Sept %, 1876,
at Annapolis, having been appointed
from Ohio. On May 4, 1896, he was
made a lieutenant. During the Span
! ish-American war he served on board
the Puritan. Following the war he
was transferred to the Essex, and it
is said the transfer to Manila was made
on account of his value as an officer,
which marked him out for continued
active duty.
Columbus, O., Nov. 14.-Leuten-
ant Herman C. Dressed was born
and raised in Columbus, being 40
years OF age. He graduated from the
Columbus High school in 1874 and was
! appointed to Annapolis as a cadet from
this district. He was married to Miss
Alice Jones, and has two children, a
boy and a girl, now and 2 years of
age, respectively. His wife at present
is living in Boston with Mr.. DreSserS
mother and sisters.
The Dressed family was among the
most prominent in Columbus social af-
fairs during their residence here, but
some years ago removed to Boston.
Mr.. Dressel's father committed sui
eide in this city in 1881 by shooting
himself.
Annapolis, Mr., Nov. 14-Lieutenant
Dressed was well known here, having
been stationed here before the war with
Spain. He was under treatment sew
eral times for mental arrangement. He
imagined that he was in a state of
physical and mental collapse and unfit
for further duty. Rest restored him.
Mrs. Dressed and her two children
boarded at the Maryland hotel, and
left this morning for washington.
where, according to her statement, she
was to have met her husband. 1t is
surmised that she hoped to obtain for
him a change of orders.

DECAY OF TEETH.
San Francisco Dentist Advances Some
Novel Theories.

NOVEL 4ASJI1OS
Chicago, Nov. 14.-Before the Chicago
Odontographic society tonight, DIR. A.
C. Hart of San Francisco read an in
teresting paper on The Evolution of
the Decay of Teeth" in the course OF
which he ventilated some rather novel
theories. According TO his ideas, all
dental decay results from bacteria, and
the most successful way to minimize
their influence on the teeth is to take
moisture as inaccessible to them as pcs
sible. DR.. Hart claimed that there are
many kinds of bacteria in the mouth,
some of which causes decay and some
prevent. In his experience teeth are
often proof against decay, heven when
the enamel is destroyed, which he eX-
plains by saying that the enamel is
much better material for bacteria to
work in than is the dertine under It.
the latter frequently resisting decom-
position long after being exposed. The
doctor advocates the use of antiseptic
foods as far as possible, although he OF
course admits that mouths cannot be
completely sterilized against germ life.

A Rat With 0 WOOden Leg.


A rat with a wooden leg
is a curiosity as curiositles
90 nowadays, Yet such an
animal can be seen any day
at the residence Of a man
named Dugmore, in the
southwestern portion of the
city. Abont a month ago
Willie Dugmore, a lad OF Il
years, found the little rodent
in a trap in the cellar. His
first impulse was to brain
the pest with base ball bat.
but the rat looked at him so
pleadinsly that Willle's heart
was touched and he decided
to take the trap to an adJoln-
ing vacant lot and llberate
the animal. This he did,
but instead of scampering OFT,
as he expected, the rat limp
ed painfully up to him and
began to lick his b a n d.
Willie then discovered that
one of the animals legs had
been almost severed by the
trap. Taking the rat home
he cut the leg off and then
bandaged the wo1ud, using
as a liniment a little vasellne.
He then put the rat into a
cags-aud carefully fed and
nursed it for a week. He
then removed the bandage
and found that the wound
had completely healed. The
rat was, however unable tc
walk, and Willie decided he
would make for it an artificial
leg. Going down to the Gel
lar he obtained a piece of pine
and after some whiting
succeeded in making the leg
This he fastened on with a
string and was delighted to
see that his plan was entirely
successful. The rat is now
the family pet and can be
seen any day hobbllng about
the kitchen or teasing a little
Irish terrier, of which he
has made a long friend.

TopDedO Boat Destr0yers.

Lieut.. JOhn }. DldHulu,
who was the officer of the
deck on the Maine when she
was blown up, gave some
interesting information about
the operation of torpedo
boat destroyers, says a
Washington special.
"a torpedo destroyer
boat said Lieut.. Bla1din, us
larger, more strongly built
and faster than a torpedo
boat. She is also provided
with rapid,6re guns, She
would attack a torpedo boat
with her guns, by torpedoes
or bv ramning. A torpedo
boat would attack a vessel
under cover of darkness,
preferably, by steamlng past
her within torpedo range
$50 yards) and firing a tor
pedo.
THE destroyer, or
catcher is not only bigger
and more seaworthy than
the torpedo boat, but she is
much swifter. She carries
expulsion tubes and torpe-
does, and has also in addition
d strong battery OF small
caliber, rapid-6re guns and
tremendously pow e r I Il
engines. The speed of this
class of boat is from 80 to
IS knots. The destroyer
usually has a wcll-armored
coming tower, surnounted
by a searchlight, These'two 70
features of this type OF YES
sci are of the utmost '1mpor-
tance, inasmuch as destroyers
and catchers are destined to
catch and destroy much
smaller crafts. They usu'
ally operate under cover OF
darkness and also employ
the concealment of paint OF
such a hue as to render them
almost invisible. This type
of boat is sometimes called a
'seagoing torpedo boat, and
is really what her name I'M
plies, Her tonnage is sell
dom, if ever, less than 20O
tons.
"Torpedo boats proper
show a speed varying from
IS to 25 knots, and are dlvld-
ed into three classes. "A
6rst.class boat has a dlplace-
ment of about so or 100 tons;
second.class, 50 or 90 tons,
while a third-class TORPEDO
boat is scarcely more than a
launch, and is usually carried
on the deck of a large ship.
The modern cruiser though,
usually has three or tour
torpedo Tubes of her own
opening above the water line
and therefore does not need
to carry special boats to
assist in launching her
Whiteheads or Howells.
"For several years the
British admiralty has pur.
sued the policy of building
no torpedo boats that car
not 90 to sea in rough water,
although they already had
on hama a. number of crafts.

FOR FOREIGN INTERVENTION.
Belief In Washington That spanish Psacs
Commission Il Working for
EUROPEAN sympnthy.

Washington, Oct 10.-It is hoped,
though hardly expected, by officials
here that yesterdays proceedings be-
fore the peace commission at Paris
marked the high tide Of Spanish oppo-
sition and that from now on the Span
ish commissioners will retire gradually
from their extreme position. 1t Ia
recognized that their attack upon the
American position was marked by the
greatest cleverness and adroitness.
The opinion prevails that the animat-
ing purpose Of the Spaniards Is to
work upon the sympathies Of other
European nations, while appealing to
the interests not only OF the stock.
holders Of Cuban bonds. but also to
the holders Of purely Spanish securi-
ties, which would be affected by sym.
patty. The Spanish argument d.
rected to showing that the United
States must assume sovereignty, else
the island will be left without legal
status, is interpreted as being dis
tinct bid for the Intervention Of foreign
bondholders.
