on perfecting his System Of Treatment curing
thousands of patients each year, and waiting
patiently for the endorsement and approval OF
the medical world.
And lie did not wait in vain Strange to relate,
the first open endorsement came from abroad
across The ocean, DIR. Sir William Broadbent
held in Marlborough House, presided by the
Prince Of Wales. endorsed the principles upon
which the Slocum System is founded. Now il is
endorsed and approved by progressive, liberal
minded physicians everywhere.
The DIR. SOcum System of Treatment embodies
the healing powers Of medicine combined with the
rebuilding and reiuvenating powers of food. 1t
promptly allays the cough, relieves pain and other
distressing symptoms, insIres rest and sleep, and
suspends or destroys the energies Cf the disease

and eliminates every element OF the disease.
EilNirs, bitters, cOrdials, and opium mixtures
afford temporary relief in many cases but they
do not cure; they merely mask the symptoms and
waste valuable time they should be avoided
studiously.

Laughs GaiIy While Telling Her

Ia Death.

Rochester, n. H., Feb. Mrs. Henry
Provencher came here yesterday from
Somersworth, deliberately murdered
eighteen-year- old Annie Cox, and escaped.
Annie CoX's parents live in Calais, Me-
She had been keeping house the past six
months for Henry Provencher, black
smith, whose home is on Harrison Ave-
nue., where the murder was committed.
Eight years ago Henry Provencher and
Lizzie Hutchins were married. They had
frequent quarrels and reconciliations, and
as late as a year ago were living together
in Portsmouth. Then. concluding that
they could not longer agree they separat-
ed.
In 1888 Henry Provencher made the ac-
quaintance of Annie Cox who had come
TO this city. The two in going to and
from their meals, frequently passed the
home of Mrs. Sadie L. Fuse, mother of
Mrs. Provencher
Lizzie was frequently at the home of
her mother, and was eEraged at seeing
the young girl who had taken her place
In her husbands affections.
Some time ago Mrs. Provencher went
TO Kennebunk, Me-, where she remained
for several months. In the fall Pro-
vencher rented small cottage and took
Annie Cox there to keep house for him
She appeared to be very much in love with

made the following statement. last night:
My daughter, Lizzie, came up from
Somersworth this morning. She came TO
my house bringing with her Henry Pro-
Yenchers sister. Her first words were:
You are mad with me-.
My reply was: Lizzie you know that
| don't welcome anyone who comes to my
house intoxicated, as you are
Perhaps you would not be so mad
if you knew what l have come for said
Lizzie. / have come to kill that woman
who is living win my husband. and |
am going to do it. l have got an officer
locked in my room in Somersworth: | have
got his watch and his revolver and he can't
get out of that room until / get back.
She then asked for some machine oil.
and taking revolver from her sto king
sat down and deliberately oiled and clean
ed the weapon. After spending some time
IN the house, during which she and her
companion went down in the cellar to
drink, she went out This was early in the
afternoon.
When she returned she came into the
house laughing and said. I've killed her.
1 said that if / couldn't live with Henry
Proyencher no other woman should.
Then she went on to describe just how
she did the deed. She said: I went to the
house and opened the door. She was there
and she said you can't come in o. /
WON'T won't 10
With that l pulled the revolver and
fired one shot directly in her face She
staggered and fell back crying out. I'm

and the third grazed her arm. She fell
back dead. her head striking a cuspidor.
and there | left her -
The mother says that her daughter then
removed all the cartridges from her re-
Volyer except one. That one she said.
Il Will reserve for myself. If the officers
get too close to me they Will never take
me alive"

Mr.. Littleton T. Dryden, superintendent
Of the Maryland State bureau of immigra-

Mr.. Cornelius W. Van der Hoogt, secre-
tary of the bureau who is on visit to
Holland for the purpose of securing Dutch
settlers for Maryland.
Mr. Van der Hoogt writes from Nries,
Province of Drente. Netherlands Speak
ing of his visit to his old home in Kam-
pen he writes: This is one of the oldest
of the historical towns of the Netherlands.
The city hall was erected in 1900 and
many relics of the old times are to be seen.
Many documents written by William the
Silent and other princes OF the house of
Orange are there The town 1s beautifully
situated on the river Ysel. has popula-
tion of about 20, 000 and is the centre of
the farming districts and the home market
for butter. Kampen butter finds its way
through all Europe. ac1}r
Everything seems to, have. changed
Many of the old wealthy farmers have
become poor. The land is too dear, the
markets down in price, the necessities of
life greater and taxes and expenses too
high in comparison with the profits. Many
farmers have to pay as high as 5000
guilders $1,000 rent per annum for about
so acres of land. They only have meat
once. week, on Sunday, and often have
to sell some of their cattle to meet the de-
mands of the pachtheer,' or landlord
who has no mercy. The position of labor
ers on the farms is worse still. Hundreds
of men are idle during the winter and
these poor fellows are willing to work all
day for sum equal to 10 cents in Amer
ican money They never get meat and
do not know the taste of 1t.
Il had an opportunity to start at once
to speak of Maryland, as Tuesday. De-

The statement was made at the War De-

Robert p. Porter TO Cuba is OF a financial
and statistical nature, and that he has no
authority to make any payment TO General
Gomez's soldiers. He may, however, fur
nish this Government with information
concerning the strength and condition of
the Cuban troops.
Mr.. Porter will ask whether the Cuban
army will disband on present payment of
s., ,000, ,000.. This Governments legal right
to make such a payment was referred to
the Attorney General, who held that this
sum might lawfully be advanced to the in
surgent troops. on condition that the
Treasury be subsequently reimbursed from
the revenues of the island, and it is under
stood that this course will be pursued if it
is found that the desired results can be OBJ
tanned thereby. Mr.. Porter was also in
structed TO inquire into the workings of
the customs regulations and local taxation
matters.
