DIES VICTIM OF A FANCY.
Woman Who Dreaded the Night
Found Lifeless in Her Room
at st. Louis.

The life of Mrs. Elizabeth S, Hen
ming, SO years old, of st. Louis, was
wrecked and finally brought to an I'M
timely end by her strange dread'of the
night.
During the morning Mrs. Henning
was usually cheerful, but shortly after
noon she would remark that 1t would
soon be dark, and as the day wore
on she grew nervous, and at times hys-
terical. AS soon as the darkness deep
ened she had the gas lighted and at
night she kept light burning In her
room. 1t had been suggested that she
could pull down the curtains and light
the gas and it would be light within
the room, but her reply was that she
knew the darkness was outside.
This became more than the woman
could bear. She said often she could
not stand it much longer, that the
night was driving her mad, but little
attention was paid to her fancies.
The other morning the woman die
not appear at the usual hour and he1
door was forced open. She was found
dead on the floor. There were nc
marks of violence on her person mol
traces of poison about the face, but
the physician who was called in sale
he believed she had either taken poi
son or had smothered herself on the
bed and in her death struggles haG
fallen to the floor.

Interesting Facts Regarding Work
Of the Weather Bureau.
IMPORTANT EXTENSION OF SERVICE.
More Than rs, 600, 900 Forecasts wers
Maidstone statistics Regard
ing Floods, Cyclones and
Other Phenomena.

| Washington, Nov. 2S.-The doings OF the
weather bureau during the past fiscal year
are set forth in some detail in a report re-
gently submitted by Chief Willis L. Moore
| to Secretary Wilson The most prominent
event chronicled in Mr.. Moore's report is
the extension Of the bureaus field of opera
| tions to include all of the West Indies and
| the shores OF the Gulf of Mexico The
| weather service has also been extended In
our own country by the establishment OF q
climate and crop center in Alaska and
| new observing stations In Montana, Idaho,
California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Texas,
Mississippi. Georgia. Kentucky, West Viz
| ginia and Michigan. These additional sta
/ lions will assist quite materially IN the
| development Of agricultural and Industrial
| interests in the immediate localities Whers-
in they are located.
It Is yet too early, the report concludes
to express an opinion as to the value IN
practical weather forecasting OF the OBJ
/, servations secured by kites.
Forecasts of severe atmospheric dis
turbances, including foods in rivers, frosts
and freezing weather in Florida, Califor-
MIA and the truck growing regions OF the
gulf and south Atlantic states were
/ promptly and accurately made. There were
no unusually disastrous storms during the
year and few cold waves, although I'M
usually cold weather prevailed In the fruit
region of California. There were five
| floods during the year, the noods IN ONO
and Indiana in the latter part of March OF
this year being the most destructive.
Over 2S,000,000 forecasts were distributed
during the year exclusive of those printed
in the daily papers. Ohio received the
greatest number. 2,157sOo; New York the
next greatest, 2,0S3,4OO. followed by Michi-
gan, 1,53O.OoO; Illinois. 1.4S5.0OO: Missouri,
1892 800, and Pennsylvania, 1,2ls,2Oo.
A line Of new work recently undertaken
by the bureau is the collection through the
cooperation of agents and adjusters Of

prolific causes of damage is lightning. The
number of lightning strokes fiuctuatsi

thus in Michigan, there were s16 cases one

hoped that the statistics collected will II

MUNGER ART GEMS.
Art Institute Of Chicago Falls Heir
to 5000, 600 Worth of Paintings.
Rare Pictures Thus Added to an Al
ready Valuable Collection-List
of the Most Notable
Works.

BY the terms of the will of the late
Albert A. Munger, which was opened
and read at Chicago the other day, the
Golfers of four worthy charities have
been enriched and the Art institute OF

collection it disposes of contains some
eighty paintings, including besides
those at the Art institute a number of
paintings the deceased had at home
and few which hang in his office in
the Metropolitan block. The collec-
ton contains paintings executed by
many of the greatest artists in the
world, and Mr.. Munger spent years
of travel in getting it together. Eu-
rope was secured from France to
Russia and from Italy to the Scandi-
navian countries for treasures of art
wherewith to increase the size and
quality of the collection.
Some of the most notable works in
the collection are "The Bathers," by
Bougereau; Fleeing from the Flames"
by schreyer; "The vedette," Meis-
sonier; "Cattle at Rest" Bonheur;
"Just Before Sunrise" Corot; "The
Wrestler's Challenge" Munkacsy, and

Lost Money.

Eagerness to amass fortune has
brought r. Roberts, butcher, of OF

township, few miles from that city,
is a water-course known as Green's
creek. A farmer who possessed water

full. He brought his geese to market
and disposed of them to Mr.. Roberts.
In the process of dressing goose a
member of Mr.. Roberts family found
in the crop what proved to be a mug

dreams that Green's creek must be a
Klondike, and the chance of his life.

itself. He hastily struck bargain fol
the purchase of the farm, paying an
eXorbitant price for it.
The stream was closely searched for
evidence of nuggets other than the

gate the peculiarities of a certain

Abilities as a commercial product for

public attention was turned to this
plant. No one seemed to know very
much about it. When 1t was reported

It was to make scientific experiments
with 1t, that there was a young man,

that he was appointed to go abroad

WHITE MAN TURNING BLACK.
New Yorker Goes to the Hospital Suf
ferins with Addison's
Disease.

Cases wherein black men have be-
come white are not rare, but New
York has case that is the other way.
Frank Roberts is in the New York hos
pital and in two days, has turned from
white to the color of Zulu.
Roberts is IS years old. He is a
painter, whose home is at Ill West
Fifteenth street, and he came to this
country from Italy several years ago.
Two days ago Roberts was attacked by
strange malady. His skin rapidly be-
came bronze color and grew darker
each hour, SO that when taken to the
hospital he was the color of a negro
He was in a state of extreme debility
and semi-consciousness
DR.. Peterson, of the New York hos
pistal, at once recognized a case Of
"Addison's disease" as the curious
malady is called. DIR. Peterson de-
clined to give any information on the
subject, but he admitted that Roberts
is suffering from a dangerous con-
tagious disease, and that he is in an ex-
tremely critical condition.
| From another source it was learned
that the late DR.. Thomas Addison, for
merly famous physician of Guys
hospital, London, discovered the
strange disease which bears his name
in 1855. "Addison's disease" more
popularity called "bronzed skin" is ex.
tremely rare. 1t is characterized by
progressive debility and emaciation
with increased pigmentation of the
skin. 1t arises from diseased state
of the supra-renal capsules. 1t hal
been proved that only one particula,
form of degeneration leads to this re
| suit.

SNAPPED BABY FOR DOG.
The Unusual Exchange That Was
Made by Two New Jer-
sey Women.

Any mother knows the compara-
tive value of baby and puppy dog.
It is infnity to nothing. Yet in New
ark, N. j., deal has just been con-
summated in which real, live, plump,
pretty chunk of humanity was
snapped by its mother for tiny fox
terrier. The person who engineered
the deal was DR.. Matthew T. Gaffney.
DR.. Gaffney tells the following story
of the barter, without giving the
names of the parties:
While young woman was boarding
at the house of a young couple child
was born to her, She believed she
| would be unable to care for it proper
ly, and asked the doctor to find home
| for it. She would not let it go to an
ASYLUM. Mrs F., the landlady, fell
in love with the baby, and said she
would give the world if it were hers.
A few days ago, after the mother had
left Mrs. F.'s house, the doctor saw
there beautiful fox terrier. He is
lover of dogs.
"What'll you take for it?" he asked.
wouldn't take $780," Mrs. F. re-
piled. "It's the finest bred dog in the
city"
"Look here" said the doctor, ct love
the dog, you love that little baby that
was born here; We'll swap"
Mrs. f. thought he was testing. When
she learned he was not she clapped
her hands in JOY and called her hus-
band, who congratulated her, and so
| the baby was traded for the pup. The
mother is content with the bargain,
as the doctor turned over to her as
much money as the pup would cost
If bought IN the open market.

Emile lola Is to come to New York
next month. He will deliver lectures
on art, on literature, and on the pris-
oper at DEVILS island. He is to tell
why he writes novels in the style that
he calls naturalistic, and the reason
of his enmity for the romantic. He is
to describe the phases of his convic-
tion that Alfred Dreyfus was inno-
cent of the crime that made of him q
pariah.
All the communications that are ex-
changed with him pass through the
hands of his faithful publisher, Eugene
Fasquelle. To Fasquelle, therefore,
Paul Meyer went sailing on. the French
steamer La Touraine. He is member
of the firm of booksellers and publish
ers, Meyer Bros. & Co., and was, in
Paris, young friend of the old au-
thor.
Since the condemnation of Dreyfus,
Meyer has written to lola long letters
describing to him the public senti.
ment here about the sentence. To
do this Mr.. Meyer interviewed persons
whose judgment was worthy of note
and reported what he was told. Zola's
interest in Meyers report was in
| tense.
Now the young man has gone abroad
in the assurance of returning here
with Emile Zola in person, prepared
to reply to all the questions that lit
| erary New York would ask Of him.
