A cOupI.E,s STRANGE DEATH

Christian Bueggermsnn and his wife,
Cathsrne, died at st. Joseph's Hospital,
Philadelphia, yesterday, under mysterious
circumstances, which have left the ply.
sicians in doubt as to whether ptomaine
poisoning, heat exhaustion or actual starva-
tion caused their death. The couple had &C.
cupied two small rooms on Oxford street for
some months The husband was employed as
stripper in nearby tobacco factory, and on
account OF his age is said 10 have earned but
s. per week, while his wife tried to aid bim
in providing for themselves, by working as a
seamstress. Last Friday the husband was
taken sick with severe pains, and on the day
following Mrs. Bueggermsnn succumbed with
the same symptoms. A nearby physician WAS
summoned, and both patients seemed to be
improving, but the doctor was asked to call
again early yesterday morning. On arriving
at their rooms he discovered the two lying
unconscious on mattress. Realizing the
seriousness of their condition, he had them
removed st once to st. Joseph's Hospital
where Mr.. Bueggermsnn died at o'clock.
His wife fingered until evening, when she
too, expired without having regained con-
sciousness. The hospital physicians are at a
loss to decide the cause of the two deaths, but
believe them to be due TO improper food or 10
lack of food entirely. A daughter of the IN.
fortunate couple, who has resided with her
grandfather for some time, knows no cause
for her parents attempting suicide, and be-
lieyes they died from natural causes. Mr..
Rueggermann was 5S years old and his wife
90 years.

ITALY's NEW BATTLEsHIPs.- .-Admi.
raj Bettolo has just completed the de-
signs of four Italian battleships, the
building of which will be commenced
as soon as possible, and will occupy
not more than twenty.tour months.
The Italian military journals claim
that the admiral has solved the pro
blem of uniting in one vessel of great
size all the advantages offered by
battleships and cruisers; namely, high
speed, twenty-five knots at least; the
most powerful artillery, and the most
complete protection. The speed is to
be obtained by an alleged entirely nov
ell form of water tube boilers. The
armor plating is to be about one-third
that of the present heaviest plating on
any warship afoat, while it will be
more powerful, owing to some remark
able improvement in the Krupp-Har-
vey hardening process. The displace-
ment of these battleships will not ex-
ceed 5000 tons, but they are speedier
and carry bigger guns than any exist
ing. On the whole their defensive Ca
pabilities are greater. Such at any rate
il the claim by italian experts.

WITCHING WARTS.

The question of witching warts is
now occupying the public attention.
No one believes in witchcraft, but
every one has some story to tell of how
he got rid of his warts when boy.
The newspapers are replete with these
stories. One man who had ifty-two
warts on his feet, one of them being,
as he expressed it, large daddy wart,
got rid of them ali in the following
manner: a woman who lived nearby
got pine stick and cut in it q notch
for each wsrt. This stick was put over
the door with the remark that the per-
son who takes the stick down will get
the warts. In short time a caller
took the stick down and soon after
ward the warts disappeared from the
mans feet. MIR. Marvin B. Clark, the
originator of the Thirteep Club, and
the sworn enemy of all superst;-
tions, writes his experience to
the New York Sun. He had q
large aud troublesome wart on his
hand with cobstinately refused to yield
to treatment. Finally his grandmother
noticed it and cured it by occult scienie.
She made the boy go to butcher s
shop, steal small piece OF meat, rub
it on the wart and then secretly bury
it in the ground. A few days later the
boy looked for his wart and it was gone
and the place thereof knew it no more.
1t lett no mark or soreness, imply dis
appeared or was changed into thin air.
This remedy is we'll known every
where, but most persons consider 1t
essential to bury the meat under fiat
stone and to bury it when no one is in
sight. We cannot tell whether this
latter is essential, but it is perhaps
safest to omit none OF the features Of
the cure. Iu some parts of Maryland
it is the practice OF wart witches to tie
black threat around the wart, NUT
ter charm over it and then remove
the string and bury it. When the string
rots the wart goes and always goes
mysterously-one of the mysterious
disappearance of which We hear so
much. No one can tell what the wart
witch says, as that is her secret and she
guards it most jeslously.
Other cures have been used, but none
of them are equal to witchcralt. Stick
a needle through wart and hold the
end of the needle in the flame of candle
for while and 1t will effect cure, but
not pleasant one. The use of nitric
acid is common, but this is also pail
iul remedy. Another and very GOO d
remedy is to scarify the wart and apply
the sap Of the ig tree, but this remedy
also IS inferior TO witchcraft. The best
remedy after all, however, seems to be
the frequent use of soap and water.
Cleanliness is both preventative and
q cure.
