THE PUBLIC
Will be Given a Chance to Aid the
Police in Solving a Murder Mys-
terry.

New York, January 25.-The police
to-day gave out for reproduction in the
newspapers a fac-simile of the writing
on the package sent to Harry Cornish
which contained cyanide of mercury
and caused the death of Mrs. Kate
Adams, on December %. The object of
the police in having the fac-simile pub
lished IS to secure an Identification of
the handwriting. This seems to indi-
cate that the police have not been sue
cessful so far in securing any strong
clues toward the solution of this mys-
FERROUS case, despite the frequent pub
LEGATION of alleged semi-solutions.
The latest of these indirect cluse Is
as follows:
On the evening of December 81, a
man, giving the name of H. Cornish,
rented a letter box at 1920 Broadway,
two days later two small packages and
a letter were received from him but by
mistake were placed in the wrong box
and were never delivered. The man
was not seen after his first visit. These
packages, which are now in the hands
of the police, contained, respectively,
a sample of Kutnow powder and a lot
of capsuls containing a specific for
blood disease. Both are being tested
by a chemist. A description of the
man was furnished the police. Harry
Cornish was taken to the Broadway
place but was not Identified as the man
who had hired the box.
Coroner Hart said to-day that he ex-
pected the report from DR.. Witthaus
on the examination of organs of Mrs.
Adams some time during the latter
part of the week. A date for the hold
ing of the inquest will not be set till
the report is'received.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Don't Know 1T.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so de-
ceptive. Many sudden deaths are
caused by it-heart disease, pneumonia,
heart failure, or appolexy are often the
result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble
is allowed to advance the kidney poison
in the blood is apt to attack the vital
organs, or the kidneys themselves
cell. Then the richness of the blood
the albumen-leaks out and the suffer-
er has Bright's disease, the worst form
of kidney trouble. Kidney trouble can
be detected although it be slow and
deceptive. First by analysis of the
urin; second, by the simple test of set
ting the urine aside in glass or bottle
for twenty-four hours, when cloudy
or brick dust settling indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that His
infinite power and goodness the Great
Physician caused Swamp-Root to grow
for the benefit of suffering mankind,
leaving it for His servent, DIR. Kilmer,
the great kidney and bladder specialist
to discover it and make it known to the
world. Its wonderful efficacy in
promptly curing the most distressing
cases is truly marvellous. You may

gazed and listened; listened and gazed,
as might the hunter whose soul was
set upon the game which he yet feared
to frighten by any act of indiscretion
beyond his reach.
Now it was her turn to talk. She
spoke rapidly, in a voice clear but not
loud, never raising her eyes toward the
faces of her listeners, but earnestly en-
treating them to repent and believe" :"
Still did Jim Greyson's gaze devour her.
His whole soul seemed to be going out
in one exhaustive effort to catch her
eye.
What did it mean? I had never
known Jim to flirt. 1t wasn't his way.
Jim had sprees, when he could be as
wild as his own untamed mustang, and
as regardless of decorum with those
who were like-minded of either sex, but
this pure-faced preacher! Surely, not
that!
just then she finished speaking, and
there was a movement as if the exer-
cises were about to break up. Jim, with
face strained now to the very climax
of desperation, leaned toward the
young speaker, and in a half-whisper,
hoarse and tense with emotion and
dread of mistake. gasped: ''Nell!"

Mr.. Edmund Gosse has written a pa
per on 'Stevenson's Relations With
Children" in Chambers Journal. In
1t he relates story of his youthful
days as narrated to himself by Steven
son. He was still a little fellow when
in the summer holidays, after reading
a number of detective novels of a bad
kind, he was passing one Sunday after
noon along a road in an Edinburgh
suburb. There he saw a deserted
house, furnished, but without a care
taker. 1t struck young Stevenson that
it would be fine thing to break into
this house, which he accordingly did,
roaming from room to room, looking
at books and pictures in great excite
ment, until he thought he heard a noise
in the garden. Terror seized upon
him as he imagined himself handcuffed
and conveyed to prison just as the
church folks were returning home. He
burst out crying, then managed to
creep out as he had come in.

cats. There used to be frequent men,
ton about how men threw bootjacks,
boots, water pitchers, coal scuttles and
fire tongs at them. | knew a man my
self once that threw a lighted lamp
at a cat on a fence. He never touched
the cat, but set the fence afire and had
to pay 81.
But the custom has not fallen alto
gether into disuse. There Is q cat in
our neighborhood that walks along the
back fence at night weeping and wall
ing in a manner most distressing to
hear. For a long time these unpopular
concerts were not disturbed. but night
before last we heard the sound Of a
mighty blow upon the fence. 1t sound
ed like the crash of an immense rock.
1t evidently missed the cat. but 1t end
ed the concert. The cat didn't come
back that might've hope it never will.
How the man got the rock over there
we don't know. Surely he never could

have rigged up catapult of some sort

Quick as thought the small head in
the large bonnet was turned in the di-
rection of the startling sound; the blue
eyes, raised for the first time, met Jim's
eager gray ones, in bewildered surprise,

Jim Greyson took form and place in the
woman's memory. A lightning flash of
recognition; swift smile from each to
each; burning blush on the pale Ma
donna-like face, suddenly grown child

the thought of the lookers-on. 1 think
no one besides myself had observed this
