tured two violators of the liquor law.

CUT THROAT WITH RAZOR
MRS. LOUISA THESING, Il WIDOW,
COMMITS SUICIDE.
in Moment of Insanity, She Gets Hold
Ofth Death Dealing Blade Troubled
with Nervous Prostration for Several


Months.
Mrs. Laura Thesing, widow of the late
Frederick Thesing, committed suicide
about o'clock last night at he residence
of her daughter, Miss Kate Thesing at
50 Washington avenue by cutting her
throat with razor. Mrs Thesing had
been under treatment for nervous pros
tration for some months, and was seen
late in the afternoon by DR.. Flynn, who
was her attending physician.
At the time she seemed to be very
much improved, and in a very cheerful
frame of mind, DR.. Flynn left her very
much encouraged, and hopeful for a
rapid recovery. She was sitting with
her daughter during the evening when
she requested her to go into The yard
and get some fresh air. Thinking this
was a whim Miss Thesing did so, and
returning few minutes after found
her mother on the bed with both jugu-
lar veins severed and razor near her.
DIR. Flynn was called but the woman
was dead when he reached her, dying
almost instantly. The case was re-
ported to DR.. White, who gave permits
sion for the disposition of the body.
Mrs Thesing was about sixty years
old and had been troubled with nervous
prostration for two or three months.
About week ago Miss Thesing found

at that time when asked what she had
it for Mrs Thesing said she was not
going to use it, and DR.. FLYNN warned
the daughter to keep such things out Of
her reach, but the patient appeared SO
rational that it was thought all danger
was passed.
The woman was intent upon ending
her life as there We're several gashes

CHAPTER X.

Crushing the green leaves and the

aside the trailing sprays, his heart
beating, his brain on fire, Sir Marc

to him that the whole world had sud

tered, bitter, terrible words to himself
If the stars had fallen from heaven, it
would have surprised him less than the
fact that Veronica had done wrong
his ideal, the one pure, noble, gentle
soul in whom he had placed all his
trust. All that was beautiful poetical,
maidenly, and charming seemed to be
vested in her; and now his ideal had
been rudely destroyed.

being again while live" he said to
himself; never! So fair, so beautiful

THE PEOPLE OF SHADOW STREET

All, long and narrow is Shadow street
Where the sunlight never can fall:
Whose mile after mile can but repeat
The crumbling house and the broken
WALL
The marsh beyond and the cypress
A misty veil and a somber pail.
Over its lichened pavements, see
The people Of Shadow street creep.
They seem so like unto you and me,
AS they stare or frown or weep;
But they're something more and some
thing less,
And their eyes are dim as with sleep.
They think they are live and wide
awake,
They are busy with dreams long
dead
Their hurrying feet no progress make.
And their clocks tell time that has
fed.
They are planning the triumphs of
yesterday,
They are coming the words long
said.
Iney toll and moil; they rhyme and
they sing,
But none Of the other takes heed.
Their hopes are ravens on weary wing
That out of their hearts they feed;
Each man and woman in twilight blur
Clasps tightly widowed weed.
This corner house on the Market
Square
Is the place where they first abide.
They climb one morn up it's creaking
stair,
And by dusk steal out at the side.
They come, pushed out of the pulsing
town
And so into Shadow street glide.
From house after house, from day to
day,
They move when the night has
paled;
Thin and grizzled and farther away,
And by many pang assaulted.
They pass at last meath the cypress
trees.
But they never know they have
failed.

BURIED TREASURE OF THE INCA.

Greater wealth than the Klondike
has to offer is perhaps hidden in Peru
The seeker after buried treasures
would find there such stores of gilt
tering gold as would satisfy his wild
est dreams, if only he could locate
the spot where for centuries the Inca s
ransom has been buried. Somewhere
in the Andres, between Caxamarca
and Cuzco, 100000 llamas, each car
rying 100 pounds of purest gold. were
stopped and stripped of their meal
culable wealth. News of the treach-
erous murder of their Inca came to
that heavily freighted caravan, and
the priests buried their gold and
went back to the temple. 1t should
never fall into the hands of their
conquerors, the Indians vowed; and to
this day, like Moses's grave, no man
knows it's whereabouts, at least that's
the story. Every one connected with
the caravan was tortured to death,
but each carried his secret out of the
world with him, and the Inca's treas
ure has never been heard Of. Sir
Clement Markham, president of the
Royal Geographical Society of Lon
don, attempted to locate this golden
store during his sojourn in Peru He
did not succeed, but he found that it
was said in the vicinity that the cara
van left the main road at a spot now
called Azanjaro, or Asuan Caran,
meaning away from the road Here,
he argues, the gold-laden priests left
the frequented highway and went
into the lonely mountains, there to
bury their vast treasure, Wn4vn
Spanish greed would not find. But
where? In Prescott's fascinating Con-
quest of Peru he frequently refers to
this buried treasure and to it's mar
vellous possibilities. From time to
time adventures more sanguine than
practical have attempted to locate it.
Fortunes have been lost in the at
tempt, mems minds have been turned
by too much dreaming Of the buried
treasure, but through it all the pre-
cious hoard lies hidden somewhere un-
der Peruvian skies, it's secret as safe,
apparently, as in those distant days
when the crafty old priests hid it
away.

SERVANT GIRLS UNION.

This country is now threatened with
servant girls unions. The news
comes from Syracuse, the headquarters
of the BARRIERS union, where several
startling ideas in the way of labor
legislation have originated. Accord
ing to a labor organ published in that
city, two delegates from unions of
servant girls in Norway and Dem
mark are on their way here to urge
the servant girls of the United States
to organize on the Norway and Dem
mark plan. The names of the dele
gates are given as Ida ChristoQuensen
and Henrietta Muller, and it is said
that unions Of servant girls have been
formed by those in Germany, France,
Belium ad Austria, regulating wages.
hours of labor, and other conditions.
Among the rules mentioned are the
following:
Work to begin at $50 a. M, and end
at 9 p. m.
Work or attendance upon the family
after 9 a. m, to be performed by
second set of servants, if extra pay is
not allowed.
One afternoon free each week and
the whole of Sunday every alternate
week.
Light, warm and well-ventilated
rooms, each servant to have her own
bed.
There are other conditions as to
wages and perquisities, but these are
supposed to be a private matter be-
tween the servants and their employ
ers.
Several attempts have been made
within the past ten or fifteen years to
organize unions of servant girls here,
but they have always failed. On one
occasion an assembly of servant girls
was formed in New Jersey, but it
soon went to pieces. The failure of
these attempts was principally due to
the fact that the domestics could get
about all they wanted, without paying
dues to union, by simply threaten
ing to leave.

DECLINE OF THE BUSINESS MAN

activity, and his nerves are getting
thin. His doctor is no more than a

often find when something breaks

SPANGLED STOCKINGS.
To be Continued.

Spangles are not only the height
of fashion, but they have also reached
the foot of fashion, and the newest
stockings are as bespangled as the
swell gowns.
Of course these glittering hose are
not intended for street wear The
effect at a muddy crossing might be
a little more than dazzling. But win
slippers and evening gown they are
very chic.
In Paris these marvels of hosiery
are called "nouyeautes,' and even in
that city of cheap novelties they cost
from S. to $25 a pair, the price de-
pending upon the amount of hand
work necessary. They are Of silk
or Isle thread, and as open worked
necessary. They are of silk Or Isle
thread, and as open worked over the
ankles and instep as a spiden're gossa

of stiffness. The spangles are sewet
on in designs running lengthwise
of the open work and gradually in
creasing in size as they near the to-

rhinestones and silver and gilt are
the most expensive, costing from $50
to $50 pair, but the luxury-loving
woman with an appreciation OF ex-
quisite things will not stop to think
about the price when these wonderful
hose are held UP before her.
Then, too every movement of the
foot adds to their loneliness, and up
on the floor OF a ballroom the effect
is bewildering.
Another white pair that was exceed
ingly pretty was spangled in sun
bursts of green and gold, that glinIed
and cleaned like fairy lamps as the
light fell upon them. The loveliest
pair Of all, however, was of pale blue
silk without any open work, and as
the evening gown they are to match is
strewn with great red hand-painted
roses glittering with dewdrops made
Of bits of silver and tiny gold beaQs.
these charming stockings were painted
in running vine of soft half-brown
red roses and little crimson buds, and
plentifully gemmed with gilt and
silver spangles.
If bought at the shops these delici-
Gus creations in the way of hosiery
are beyond the means of the woman
with limited income, but if she has
some artistic taste and a lot of pa
thence she can buy either the plain or
Openworh stockings-the hsle thread
spangled just as effectively as the
silk-and paint and spangled them
herself at a small cost.
If she cannot paint at all-and it
does not require much knowledge to
do flowers on hose, since they are
almost covered by beads and spangles
she can at least sew on the spangles.
In this was she can for few dollars
have the latest novelty in stockings
and follow the prettiest fashion that
has come out in many day.
