A GIRL TAKES MORPHINE
ANNA PHILLIPS KILLS HERSELF FOR
NO APPARENT REASON.
The Only Possible Excuse Was n
Known Young Man of the City.

Anna Phillips, about twenty-five years of
age, rooming at 81 North Capitol avenue,
died about o'clock last night from NOR
phine poisoning. Mrs. Kate Z. Steiner
from whom she rented rooms, said she had
killed herself because OF a quarrel with her
lover. a well-known young man of good
family, living on North Capitol avenue,
which resulted in their separation.
Mrs Steiner said she came to her place
about three weeks ago; that she was
very nice young woman and received fire.
uuent visits from the young man. She had
one fault, however, and that was the ex-
cessive use Of beer, often being under its
influence Mrs Steiner told her a few days
ago that she could not stay in the house II
she persisted in getting drunk, and said
also this was the cause Of the quarrel with
her lover.
Yesterday she drank most of the day, and
was intoxicated at s o'clock. when she went
into the kitchen, while Mrs. Steiner was
preparing supper. She asked for a glass,
and then produced a paper containing a
powder She took this and told Mrs.
Steiner, who asked her what she had taken,
"Oh, you see!' She then went upstairs.
The landlady, thinking something was
wrong, went to her room a few moments
later and found her writing note. The
young woman then asked MIS-. Steiner to
telephone to some doctor on South street in
case she became i'll. Mrs. Steiner asked her
to write the name for her, but 1T was not
done, and she left the room, returning In
about an hour. She again asked the girl
to give her the name Of the doctor. She
was then in such condition that she was
unable to make Mrs. Steiner, who is rather
hard of hearing, understand what she said.
Mrs. Steiner asked her to write the name.
She said she could not, and then went to
the bed and lay down. In a few moments
she had fallen asleep, and Mrs. Steiner.
thinking she had really taken poison, called
DR.. Furniss. When he arrived the girl was
unconscious. He worked with her for about
an hour, when she died.
The letter which she wrote was to her
lover and a follows:
MY Dear Ed have prayed for you TO
come back to me, but you will not heed me-
Think of my poor mother and brother, and
may Gods blessing rest upon you all. DO
not weep for me, for l will be better off,
Anna"

A MIDNIGHT SETTLEMENT.
Members of Stranded Theatrical Com
pany After the Manager.

Oliver Jones learned last night about II 80
when capias was served on him to appear
in Justice Lockmans court, that further
troubles were in store for him as manager
of the "Parson Jim company, which he
has been backing for the last three weeks.
The scenery and all stage appliances were
attached Friday by the manager Of the
company, Bury Besant. Members Of the
company, however, thinking they were to
be left in the lurch, swore out a capias, de-
with them.
About midnight all the men and women
of the company went to Justice Lockman's
court, to which place Jones had been es-
corted by constable. Then the dickering
began. Some wanted their money and said
they would accept nothing else. Others
said they would be satisfied if they could
get home 1t was finally arranged, after
a good deal of wranglng, that notes would
be given by Jones for the delinquent sal
aries and that he would provide railway
transportation for each to their respective
homes. The notes were drawn up and re-
leases signed by each member of the COM
pany. The whole amount OF the salary In
debtedness was about 81, 100 The claim OF
Bury Besant for s119.40 yet remains unset
tied, and the property effects are yet held
by attachment. Arrangements were made

homes. leaving here at S:25 this morning.
All of Jones's creditors were much in
censed at the manner in which they have
been treated. They say Jones is carrying
with him about $2O00 worth of jewelry and
diamonds, and yet claims to have nothing
on which to raise any cash with which to
pay them. Miss Genevieve Warren, who
was leading LADY, of the company, was in
possession of the jewelry last night, and
also acted as accountant for Jones while
M q G
was on account of Miss Warren that Jones,
who was infatuated with her, became the
hacker of the venture. never before having
anything to do with things theatrical:
Jones is the son of wealthy Philadelphia
widow and has memberships in many of the
swell clubs of that city.

CLOSE OF NAVAL FAIR.
The Flower Mission Will Profit
Financially from Its Entertainments.

To-day the Flower Mission naval fair is a
thing of the past. Last night the fair was
closed after five successful days and nights.
The receipts this year will undoubtedly be
in excess of those of last year. although
Miss Dilks, the president Of the fair, said
last night that the executive committee had
no idea OF the amount of money taken in
during the week. The booths, after the
vaudeville entertainment last night, looked
bare and almost everything in them was
sold. The children's entertainment in the
afternoon was attended by about six hun
dred children, and they held full sway
throughout the hall. One of the attractions
of the afternoon was the appearance of FL
sic Lombard Brush as Little Miss Muffet."
This amused the children greatly and they
stood in groups around her. Occasionally
Miss Muffet would let some of the children
near her have a taste of curds and whey
out of her bowl She looked like the real

a short quilted blue skirt with white mus

The noon luncheon yesterday served one
of its largest crowds, and Dew Drop Inn
was left bare last night of anything to eat.
At supper time the crowd waiting for sup
per was the largest of any time during the
week. Mrs. Loves and Mrs. Talbot have
made the inn famous this year and have
served firSt-claSS meals. Last night there
were several large dinner parties, among
them one given by Mr.. Edward Gates, one
by Miss Jillson. one by DR.. and Mrs. Hacker
and one by Mrs. SpringSteen. The library
booth was sold out last night and up TO the
last it took orders for Mr.. Booth Tarking-
tons novel, 1.-THE Gentleman from Indiana"
There were also numerous orders taken for
the photograph calendars of views around
indianapolis. The doll booth was almost
cleared at the end of the vaudeville enter
tainment, and the china and cut-glass booth
was left with just few odds and ends of
china. The children's booth was cleaned

BERLIN, Nov. 1S.-The comment on the
war news this week is also more cautious,
but not more friendly. A military writer in
the Kreuz Zeitung, reviewing the situation
says: THE Beers neglect to utilize their ad-
vantage after the Nicholson Mex argues Ill
for their military ability. But the attitude
of the British troops in a number of recent
engagements according to English accounts,
is nothing to brag about. The discipline
seems poor Continuing, the writer says
he believes the British will hereafter ad-
vance in compact masses, numerically su-
perior to the Beers, whose tactics have
hitherto been to split up their forces, and
he thinks that this will tell against the lat
ter. As 10 the outcome of the war, the writer
thinks it is by no means certain, as the
enormous size of the seat of war makes a
guerrilla war likely The Hamburger Mach
richten expressed the same views.
In the Vossische Zeitung an eX-officer of
the general staff says: THE history of past
wars and the deliberate weighing of all the
known facts and factors do not seem to give
Beers, in spite of the immense apparent SUI
periority against them.
Owing to the British censorship, hardly
any cables from their correspondents at the
seat of war have yet reached the German
papers. This week the first mail accounts of
events to and includirs Glencoe Were re-
thing materially differing from the British
cabled reports.
The sympathies of the Germans are strik-
ingly shown In the large number of the pop
ular subscriptions for the aid of the wound
ed Beers. The Deutsche Zeitung has col
lected, within fortnight, $4,000 marks, and
the Hamburg subscriptions amount to 3d. 445
marks. In Berlin the consul general of the
Transvaal daily receives contributions,
many coming from the poor, which already
foot up large sum. In many towns, in
Guiding Leipsig. Berlin. Cologne. Hamburg,
Duisburg and Stettin. meetings Of sympathy
with the Beers have been held.
