COMMITTED SUICIDE
To Carry Out the Predictions of a
Fortune Teller.

Fortune Teller.
Driven insane by the predictions of
her death in the cards of the fortune
tellers, Mrs. Marie Annie Gordiol burned
herself to death. Several times each
week Mrs. Gardiol visited fortune tell
ers. She would ask tremblingly Of her
future. Each time she was told the
cards foretold misfortune, misery and
death. Secret enemies were said to be
at work. She was warned against
prisoners. When Mrs. Gardiol became
i'll and neighbors prepared delicacies
for her she refused to eat them. She
alarmed her children and husband by
her incantations. Several weeks ago
her husband forbade her calling on the
fortune tellers. She brooded over the
predictions. When her husband went
to work she sent the children out to
play and then set herself on fire.

Six Hundred a Minute.

What do you think of stamping 600
letters a minute? They are trying a
new machine in the Chicago postoffice,
and that is its record so far. The ex-
act time is stamped on each letter, to-
gether with the canceling stamp, and If
there is any delay in dispatching the
letter the blame can be easily located.
The machine only requires one opera
tor.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIas, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effe>s and to avoid limitations, please

HOBBIES OF ROYALTY.

Queen Victoria's hobby is gardening
and she is passionately fond of dogs
and ponies, her especial favorite being
her old black pony Jessie. Her ma
| Jesty is also great lover Of bullfnches
| and has several of them, whose pretty
tricks and charming piping give her
| immense pleasure. To insure the safe
ty of the feathered pets it is forbidden
for any one in the royal household to
have Cat-at least, any one whose
| apartment is at all near the queen s..
The princess of Wales has a great
liking for lace. Her collection, which
has some wonderful specimens, is
worth $250,000. The duchess of York
has one of the most interesting collec-
tions of postcards on record. 1t has
been contributed to by the sovereigns
of every land where postcards are
used, the German relations of her
royal highness supplying by far the
greater number.
The duke OF Edinburgh is an ardent
stamp collector, and possesses one Of
the finest collections in the world. His
daughter, the crown princess of Rou-
mania, delights in perfumery bottles,
as did her grandmother, the late en-
press of Russia, who had unique col
lection Of elaborate and beautiful bot
| ties, which was valued at $4,000, and
was bequeathed to her grandmother.
The queen of Italy has a peculiar
| hobby-a collection of gloves, boots
and shoes which have been worn at diff
| ferent periods by royal and imperial
! personages. She has a pair of white
| slippers and a fan which belonged to
Mary, Queen of Scots; also shoes worn
by Queen Anne and the empress jose
| phine. King Humbert takes great
pleasure in amateur cooking, at which
art he is an adept.
The empress of Germany is a cham
| piOn knitter, and uses large wooden
needles for the work she does. The
queen of Greece spends a good deal Of
| her time in fancy needework, and is
said to be the finest needlewoman
among European royalties. The dowa-
ger queen of Portugal is fond of shoot
ing and spends much time at her
country place on the seaboard at Cal
| das, where she amuses herself by firing
| from a high window at bottles placed
in the sea for the purpose. She is said
to be an excellent markswoman. The
empress of Japan is distinguished for
her clever manipulation OF the koto, a
Japanese instrument resembling the
either.

Gen. Warner at Columbus.

The venerable General A. j. Warner,
the hero of a dozen hard fought cam
paigns, reached the city last night and
registered a tthe Great Southern. He
came to Columbus on business, and
during the evening dropped out to see
his friend, Colonel Kilbourne. 1t will
be recalled that General Warner pre-
sented the name of Colonel Kilbourne
to the GAINESVILLE convention and made
a most vicious attack upon Mclean,
the Mclean howlers trying in vain to
cry him down. Before the convention
General Warner was quoted as saying
if Mclean was nominated he would be
defeated by 100000 by Judge Nash.
met General Warner just before he
lei to see Colonel Kilbourne, and
asked him if he was on his way to the
Democratic opening alt Hamilton.
"Ch, no" he replied. "Were you in
vited to speak general?" was the next
query.
Il was invited. / received a very
courteously worded invitation to go to
Hamilton, but could not accept the
tender on account of poor health"
And then the general winked his off
eye.
IF Colonel Kilbourne had been
nominated, would the condition of your
health precluded the possibility of ac-
cepting an invitation to speak?"
The general shufled about uneaslly
on one foot, and finally said:
/ should have tried to speak at
least, If my friend had been nominat-
ed"
Il heard your speech at GAINESVILLE,
and neard your denunciatlon OF Nc
Lean"
But the general did not allow me to
fiinsn my query. He said And l have
seen no reason to take back a word
said on that occasion"
"Wlll the Democrats of Washington
county support McLean?"
Il should say there will be a great
deal of independent voting in that sec
ton"
Speaking further, General Warner
said; II fear the result of a Doodle
campaign. | have seen it coming for
long time, and have told the people
30 The voters of Ohio will be a long
time recovering from It," And the
manner in which the general spoke
left no doubt as to just what he meant.

A wee one rides and crows at me-

But oh, It hath no laughing face
or childhood there for sympathy.
My nelghbor's garden blooms are fine;
They rise in hedges topped with gold
And all their radiance is mine.

And, aye, they nod and smile my way
Though ] be poor.
My nelghbor's lawn is green and wide
And here and there a lofty tree
With spreading arms stands to divide
It's store of graceful shade with me;
And OH I'm sure
That when the verdant days are gone
New charms will greet me from the
lawnl
My neighbor hath host of cares,
For he must guard his costly wares
And golden hoard.
While l, crowned with domestic bliss,
May gain fond parental kiss
He can't afford.

An alley separates our lands;
My home Is in modest street,
His on the drive-see, there he
stands!

The Governors Mistake.

A laughable mistake, in which Gov
Bushnell was the victim, and the carp
in the Arcade fountain the fortunate
Recipients of a bountlful supply of
fresh oysters. The Governor was ex-
pecting a fine gold fish, sent by express
from a friend, from Chagrin Falls,
which he intended donating to the Ar
eade fountain. What was supposed to
be the bucket containing the fish was
taken to the edge of the fountain, the
lid removed and the contents poured
in the water, which were discovered TO
be oysters, but too late. A second Wis
1t to the express Office was repaid by
finding the right bucket, which con-
tanned an unusually fine gold fish,
which was duly consigned to the plac-
i'd waters of the fountaln.-Sprlngfeld

Ohioans May Have a Chance
to See Admiral Dewey.

Washington, Sept. 27.-There Is a
possibility that Admiral Dewey will go
with the president next month on his
Western trip. The admiral has been
invited to go by the committees which
extended the invitation to the presi-
dent. 1t is said that the president has
promised to do what he can to induce
the admiral to become a member of
the presidential party.
If the admiral can be persuaded to
go, 1t is very likely the people of
western Pennsylvania and Ohio will
get an opportunity to look at him. The
president will undoubtedly follow his
custom of making short speeches to
his neighbors in Ohio from the plat
form of his car, and If the president
does, it goes without saying that the
admiral will be compelled to at least
say, "Howdy," for 1t is well known
that the president has a powerful per-
suasive faculty when it comes to in
ducing diffident men to get on their
feet and say something.
