Perfume and Precipitation

Would you like to give out perfume
like the body of one who died in the odor
of sanctity? Nothing Is easier. If you
want to smell like violets make a subcu-
taneous injection of essence of these flow
ers. You can vary your perfumed es-
sence as you please. The perfume Is
scarcely noticeable unless one gets warm.
This mode of seeming ones person was
discovered accidentally. A morphine
maniac was called suddenly to Russia. She
had not time to lay in provision of her
favorite drug. But complacent doctor
promised to send 1t after her. He did so.
But the Russian custom house would not
let 1t pass. The paternal government of
Russia forbids the importation of NOR
phine unless by chemists. The morphin-
omaniac as a substitute tried essence Of
violets. She remembered that an infusion
of violets is soporifc She made her sub
cutaneous injection with Pravas syringe.
She fell asleep, and to her great surprise
awoke in a perspiration, smelling like a
bed of violets.-London Truth.

She was fighting for her freedom. Her one
purpose was to convince the commission
appointed to pass upon her mental condi-
ton that her insanity was not chronic but
the result of her abnormal habits of liv-
ing 1t was pitiful picture she drew.
1t would be remarkable story from any
woman, but coming from the lips of Mrs
Wilmerding it was bewildering. She is
only 27 years old. She is a beautiful wo-
man, far more beautiful than the news
paper pictures make her. AS she sat on
the stand for two hours Tuesday morning
gowned in plain blue serge skirt. white
shirt waist and black satin stock about
her throat. the very simplicity of her at
tire made her beauty of face and figure
stand out more sharply than did the "trip
peries of gorgeous ballroom finery.
Mrs. Wilmerding came to the courthouse
at White Plains, where the hearing was
held, accompanied by two women attend
ants from the Bloomingdale asylum. The
hearing was the result of the efforts of
Mrs. "Jack" Bloodgood, through Lawyer
Louis p. Levy, to secure the release of Mrs
Wilmerding from Bloomingdale. BY means
of habeas corpus Mr.. Levy had Mrs. Will
merding brought before Supreme Court
Judge Martin J. Keogh some days ago.
Judge Keogh decided to appoint a special
commission to pass upon Mrs. Wilmer
ding's mental condition. 1t was before this
commission that the former society belle
appeared Tuesday.
Besides Mr.. Levy. Mrs. Wilmerdings
interests were looked out for by Albert
Bach, assistant corporation counsel, whose
relatives are intimately connected with

Costly Uncertainty

1t Is certain that the American people,
who entered upon this war to deliver from
oppression the subjects of Spain in the
Antilles, will never tolerate the employ
ment of American soldiers In the Philip
pines for the purpose of replacing insur-
gents under the Spanish yoke. AS we con-
ceive It to be our duty to speak with
friendly frarkness, we do not hesitate to
say that If, Immediately after Admiral
Dewey's victory at Cavite, we had boldly
announced an irrevocable determination
to annex the Philippines and give them all
the tranquility, order and civil liberty
which are enjoyed by the inhabitants of
our territories, we should have had no
trouble, and no apprehension of trouble,
either with Germany or with the insur-
gents. 1t was the uncertainty regarding
our Intentions, an uncertainty which has

will make another Martin Van Buren, of
Mckinley If they can, defeating Van Blu
rem for opposing the acquisition of Texas.
The acquisition of Hawaii is valueless
without the Philippines; the one looked to
the other. Foreign craftsmanship is the
greater craftsmanship. India was a vast
experiment for England, but it redeemed
Asia and replenished England for the loss
Of America and educated the British races
for the science of administration.
Our Pacific states have a commercial ca
reer to fulfill.
Spain, in her discontinue, clings to the
Philippines and knows their value.
What were 1.-The objects of the war; Is
a vain repetition. The object of the Amer
lean revolution was not our independence,
but a redress of taxes. We went onward
to the consequences and they became the
objects. We stand upon the horizon of
our destiny and are educated and stocked
to pursue it and an historical pause to spit
on our hands will let us down the well.

guardians appointed by the court to man
age her monetary affairs oppose her re-
lease on the ground that she is mentally
unable to care for her affairs, and by dis
sipation would injure her health. Her
guardians are her two uncles-Franklin
Allen, brother of her father, the late Col
onel Vanderbilt Allen, and John Wallace
husband of her aunt, now deceased.
Beginning the Hearing
When the hearing was begun Mrs. Will
merding sat between her two attendants
near the open windows on the east side of
the room. Mr.. Levy was the first speaker.
He said the question had been raised about
his right to represent Mrs. Wilmerding.
He stated that he had acted as her attor-
ney and as her fathers attorney in past
years.

She Thinks Dissipation Caused Her
Insanity-Her Pitiful Story as
Told in Court

The mask which hides one phase OF New
York fashionable life was torn aside Tues
day by Mrs. John c. Wilmerding, jr., the
great granddaughter of old Commodore
Vanderbilt. The picture she revealed was
one of fierce dissipation. Her story was
calm and coherent recital Of facts which
she deemed necessary to give to show her
environment and how that environment
was responsible for her incarceration IN

Borrowed Money

She went to Forgotston, the loan agent.
and finally secured $500 in cash and some
bonds. which she said Were worthless, for
her half interest in the trust funds.
1t was this transfer of about $40, 900 worth
of property for $500 which caused her rela-
tives to have her incarcerated. BY hav-
ing her declared insane they hoped to be
able to upset the transfer made to For
gotston.
When asked to detail the conversation
with Forgotston. Mrs. Wilmerding said:
II cannot remember all of the talk we
had then. All know Is that 1 got only

She was uncertain whether the transfer

REPUBLICAN EXTRA.

The Republican is pleased to an- nounce that inside of thirty minutes yesterday afternoon one thousand cop ies of an extra edition of this paper were exchanged on the streets for cash. The extra contained the news of the destruction of Cervera's fleet, all of 1t that could have been had by any paper on earth up to 3 o'clock. Preparation was made early in the day for a complete telegraphic report sf any special happening worthy of quick transference to the people. It came, the work was performed, and the citi- zens of Phoenix were given. the news without delay.
 The Republican is glad of the opportunity to show the people of the territory and the country at large that Arizona not only has pushing, progressive capi- tai but that the capital city is provided with a modern and very much alive newspaper capable of sustaining it in it's ideas of advancement, and fully equipped with the appliances and the will to keep steadily abreast of the needs of the people.
 That all this is appreciated and rec ognized is fully attested by the unani- nous verdict of the people rendered yesterday afternoon.
 The people are satisfied with our en- terprise. The Republican is satisfied with its people and will continue to serve their interests to the fullest ex- tent
