A Deadly Poison Sent to Another In Pres.
=. ent Causes Widows Death.
NEW YORK CRY special).-Mrs. Kate J.
Adams, a widow, flity-two years old, died
suddenly few days ago at her home after
taking what shs thought to be dose OF
one of the efYervesclng salts used to relieve
headache. The physicians who attended
her and che Coroner's office are equally
certain that she todi one OF the deadliest
poisons known-eyunide OF potassium.
and that the Investigation Of the case Will
result in disclosing one OF the most daring
poisoning cases ever attempted IN this city.
The case In many ways is similar to the
now famous Botkin-D unntng case.
The present case has added interest In
the fact that, II the police theory Is correct,
the poison was intended for Harry Cornish,
the physical director and manager OF the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club. who received
the package BY mail containing the poison
as q Christmas gift.
Mrs. Adams complained Of headache,
and the poison was given to her for promo
seltzer. Mrs. Adams was at once attacked
by violent nausea and convulsions and died
in twenty minutes. Cornish, who tasted
the mixture after she displayed alarming
SYMPTOMS, suffered intensely, and narrowly
escaped the death which is supposed to
have been planned for him.
It is believed that O woman; inspired by
jealousy, intended to murder him because
of his attentions to another, as the pack
age was addressed in woman's haudwrit.
INF. But that. It is hinted, may have been
a ruse of male murderer to escape detec-
tion. The police are working on the case.

tural DEATH" Mr.. Worcester remarks
that she has genius for organization,
but mania for poisoning.
While General Arolas, one of the
few competent Spaniards, ruled the
Sulus they were fairly quiet. When
he left his successor thought he could
collect taxes from the Moros. Harun
called them together and asked their
decision. They promptly decided
not to pay the tax.
On the day appointed for paying
the tax Harun presented himself be-
fore the Governor with large num-
Der of followers. They were admitted.
Harun presented large bag of pearls
to the Governor. As he took them
Harun drew a barong-the Moro
sword-and split the Governors skull
to the chin. The other Moros fell on
the Spanish soldiers and slaughtered
them all. Then they destroyed the
town.
The Sulu Moro is born warrior.
He disdains to work and expects his
wants to be supplied by his wives and
slaves. He has many excellent quail
ties. He gives much time to the care
of his arms and to perfecting himself
in their use. He tries to terrify an
opponent by making hideous faces,
uses his shield very skilfully and
keeps his legs in constant motion, SO
that q blow below the shield may not
disable them. In battle he is the
bravest of the brave.
Absolute indifference to bloodshed
is one of his most prominent charac-
teristics. He will cut down a slave
merely to try the edge of new
barong.
Sometimes Moro goes head-hunt-
ing. This is considered very sports
! manlike proceeding. The hunter
takes with him big and handsomely
worked basket, which he slings over
his shoulder, as an American would a
fishing basket. In this he puts the
human heads which may fall to his
skill.
The Moros believe that he who
takes the life of Christian thereby
increases his chance of good time in
the world to come. He who dies tax
ing the life of Christian is sure to
be transported at once into the seventh
heaven.
From TINA to time it happens that
one of them wearies of his life, and
desiring to take the shortest road to
glory he bathes in sacred spring,
shaves off his eyebrows, dresses in
white and presents himself before a
pandits (priest) to take solemn oath
Guramentsr) to die killing Christians.
He is then called juramentado. He
hides a barong, or kris, about his
person or in something that he carries,
and seeks the nearest town. If he
can gain admission he snatches his
weapon from its concealment and runs
amuck, Staying every human being in
his path until he is finally himself dis
patched. So long as the breath OF
life remains in him he fights on.
Eye-witnesses informed Mr.. Wor-

they kill him and sometimes they set
up another in his place.
6 They are the fercest and bravest OF
all the races in or near the Philip
pines. Their skill in the use of their
curved knives, or barongs, is marvel
GUS. They have defeated the Span
iards again and again with plain steel
against firearms. Spain made no sort
OF effective occupation of the islands
until 1871.
Dean G. Worcester, the acknowl-
edged American authority on the
Philippines, devotes considerable at
tention to the Sulu Islands, their rival
Sultans, and the blood-curdling fea-
lures of life there.
A few years before the Spanish
American war, the Spaniards deposed
Mahmond, the rightful Sultan of Sulu,
and appointed in his place chief,
under the title of ellis E1cellency,
Paduca Majasari Malauna Amiril
Msuinin Sultan Harun Narrasid. )"
The Spanish had invited the right
full Sultan to come to Manila and be
invested with his crown. Remember

The Reasonablenrie.as,s Of GraatEituds.

Too many people regard. gratitude as q
duty to which they are compelled by virtue
OF their religion. But gratitude is . spon-
taueous and eminently reasonable function
OF the soul. It rests, indeed, upon the senso,
OF dependence. but II can never be
whipped into action. It sprtngso into
life of itself. A child does not stop
to reason about his motives before
showing gratitude to his parents; he
Is simply grateful because he cannot help
1t. When he looks back from the standpoint
Of his mature manhood he Ssees, also, that
theIspontaneous action OF BIS child heart
was also post reasonable. The man under.
stands the meaning Of parental care and:
the largess Of love into whieh!he entered In
the old home days, and he knows fully that
no thankful confession Of his childish lips
went line beyond his reasonable Ser
vice. Thus 1t fs with our gratitude to! God
for the measureless bestowments of His
abundant love. We may not see today how,
reasonable our gratitude for them really Is
but some time we surely shall. In the un-a
tried future even this will be- revealed. We
see 1t now with partial clearness. But not yet
all. We must enter into conspiracy with the
coming years for the perfect view. Only let 10
yhold fast that which we have. Our gratt-
tude to the Heavenly Father Is no tender,
passing sentiment; 1t Is sweetly reasonable
function Of the soul. All our past warrants
1t; all our future invites It; God Himself, who
reasons together with men In the highest
life Of the soul, inspires and sanctions our
thanksgiving. t.s& ~

celebration when the news of his
death reaches them. They say that
just as night is coming on they see
him riding by on white horse bound
for the kingdom of the blessed.
General Arolas, the last Spanish
Governor, established guard house
on the only road leading into the city
of Sulu. Here every Moro coming
from the country was compelled to
halt and give up his arms. If he did
not halt at once he was shot dead.
Accidents" often happened at the
guard house, however. One day q
Moro passed through and gave up his
barong as usual. When he came out
he claimed it. Before going away he
handed some cigarettes 20 the soldiers.
They laid down their guns to light
the cigarettes. Quick as a fash the

Americans have now a Sultan fo- q
fellow citizen.
His title is Sultan of Sulu. We
have annexed him, together with the
Philippine. Islands. His subjects are
all devout Mohammedans.
He is everything that a Sultan
should be. He has q harem and q
grand vizier. He bowstrings his
enemies and friends, and is in con-
slant danger of assassination.
The Sulus are small group of ISL
ands stretching between Mindanao,
the southernmost of the Philippines,
and the northeast corner of Borneo,
the second largest island in the world.
They have population of 4O00people,
and an area of $50 square miles.
The inhabitants of the Sulus are
called Moros. 1t is their chief pecu-
liarity to be Mohammedans. The
foundation of the race is Malay, as in
the Philippines, but the Moros have
been strongly influenced by Arab
blood.
In the seventeenth century an Arab
named Said Ali conquered the Sulu
Islands and forcibly converted the ma
tives to Islamism. He and his fol-
lowers took large numbers of wives,
and thus added an Arabian strain to
the Malay race.
The Moros are governed by sultans
and by hereditary chiefs called datos.
The latter are often supreme in their
own domains, but are supposed to give
homage to the Sultan of Sulu.
The Sultan lives as we expect Sui
tan to. do. He has great harem,
replenished by periodical raids among
all the Philippine Islands. He has a
grand vizier, and barber who tells
him stories.
The Moros are not particularly
obedlent to their Sultan. Sometimes

Quay himself express confidence OF ulti-
