When n woman cannot afford the

not too cold; sweet, but not cloying.

Mr.. and Mrs. Crosby separated last

the Marion Straw Works, which are
both owned by him, that he might bet

After defeating the trust he demanded
the return of the stock, but his wife
refused to surrender it.
He visited his wife's home to-day
while she and her six children were
eating dinner, and again demanded
the stock. She refused, and he pointed
a revolver at her and pulled the trig-

OREGON VOLUNTEERS,
Many Visitors at Their Camps at

~ SAN FRANCISCO, July 16-There
were many visitors to the camp of
the Oregon Regiment to-day A num-
Der had friends among the returning
volunteers, but the majority went to
the Preside to view the camp and see
the men who had done such good serv-
ice in the Philippines. In discussing
the matter of the mastering out of the
regiment Colonel Summers said: I'VE
will begin the work of getting the pa
pers ready tomorrow. This will. 7

route to Oregon. This will give the
men some spending money when they
arrive at home, or at least enough for
them to take care of themselves Tor
awhile. They will nearly all be met by
their families or friends so that none
of them will be in actual want. The
regiment received two months pay on
Saturday, so at present they are pro-
vided with money to meet their actual
wants. While we are in camp here I

d. D. Rolstein Arranging to Sail
Next Week.

Next Week.
HALIFAX On. IS, July I'D. D.
Rolstein of the United States Geodetic
Survey is at Sydney, c. B., arranging
to sail next week for Ellsn1oreland, in
company with Mr. Wadmat, natural
list and taxidermist, and D. D. Kahn,
physician, in charge of electrical and
magnetic observations.
The party expects to land at Cape
Sabine, near the camp where Gree
ley's expedition passed SO disastrous
winter From there they will make
their way to the extreme northwestern
part Of the northern coast of Ellsmere-
land, which is believed to be an island.
where they will build a hut and estab-
lish headquarters for the winter. While
open water lasts they will explore the
northern shore in search of the sup
posed channel leading to the sea known
to be west of Ellsmereland. Next
spring they propose to continue the
exploration of the northern and west
ern shore on the ice. and trace the
coast down to Cape Eden, the extreme
known southern partition; thus COM
plethg present knowledge of the coast
line. They will then return to Cape
Sabine and hope to be picked up there
by the steamer next summer.
If for any reason they fail to connect
with the steamer, Rolstein proposes TO
cross the Strait of Littleton Island and
make his way along the Greenland
coast to the Esquimau settlement
which formed the scene Of his last ex-
ploration. With the assistance of ma
tives the party will be able to find
their way up to Upernavik, which is
annually visited by whaling ships from
the United States.

lowing a family quarrel this afternoon
Mrs. George Treider shot and killed
her mother, Mrs. christian Foss,

The shooting occurred at the home

The quarrel was precipitated by long

we've exchanged during the morning
between Mrs. Foss and her daughter,
and Treider also became involved in
the discussion. The trouble was ap-
parently. over, when, after dinner, 1T
broke odt afresh. Mrs. Treider stepped
into the bedroom, and appearing i'm
mediately with a revolver, opened fire
upon her mother. The first shot was
fatal, and the husband, springing for
ward to disarm his wife, received three
wounds that sent him from the house.
After leaving the house he heard two
more shots. the ones that killed his
wife,

A LOSS TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Fire Breaks Out at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Fire at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard last night threat
ened much valuable property in the
building occupied by the provision and
clothing department of the Bureau of
Supplies and Accounts.
The fire was discovered on the third
floor, in which white duck cloth was
kept and cut up for the men in the
navy. About $1,000 worth of cloth was
on the floor, and it is thought it was
entirely consumed by flames, as the
fire swept from one end of the building
to the other On the second floor was
stored in bales covered by waterproof
material all the other cloth for the
suits worn in the navy and needed for
other purposes The cloth on this floor
was estimated to be valued at about
100000. How much of it was de-
stroyed by water could not be learned,
but it was thought it must have been
somewhat damaged, despite the fact
that it was protected by waterproof
covering.

THE COLUMBIA.
Her Captain Ordered to Take Her
to Newport as Soon as Possible.

BRISTOL (R. ~, July 17.-Captain
Rhodes of the Columbia received orders
Saturday to sail for Newport as soon
as possible, and he will not delay his
departure beyond Tuesday. The new
topmast of Washington pine, which
was sent UP last Thursday, is slightly
taller than the old spar, and the better
fitting sails are expected to make their
influence felt in the coming races off
Newport.
The Columbia's new 107-foot steel
mast cannot be completed before Tues
day, and may not be ready in time for
the first Newport contest. 1t is taller,
thicker and stronger than the Defend
er's steel cylinder, which has withstood
the most severe strains and weighs
1900 pounds less than the big pine
spar it will supplant. When this mast
is stepped the Columbia is not expected
to heel so much in a stiff breeze, as the
present weight above the deck line
will be materially decreased.
