WOMAN BURGLAR AGAIN.
Large Quantity of Linen Stolen from
the Residence of j. E. Parrish.
Entrance Effected Through
Basement Window.

j. r. Parrish, superintendent of the
the latest to report a visit from the
burglars who for a couple of months
past have been entering houses on the
"hilr' and carrying away everything in
the shape of fine linen that could be
laid hold of.
His home at S39 Clay avenue was
visited some time during Monday night
or yesterday morning. Entrance was
effected through a basement window.
The laundry was the only apartment
ransacked. AS in the previous cases
the fine goods were selected and car
ried away and the cheap articles left
behind. Burnt matches on the base
ment stairway indicated an attempt
to get into the upstairs apartments. A
securely barred door, however, pre-
vented this.
This is the second time this house
has been entered within a few months.
The residence of Albert S. Baker in the
same block has also been entered twice,
while Mrs. Prices home nearby was
also recently visited. Twice within the
past three months the residence OF
John Hintermister, Of 9O5 Quincy ave-
nue., has been entered. Scarcely a
week passes but what a new burglary
Is reported from that district and in
the conclusion that the work is done
by woman or at least that a woman
has a hand in the operations.

MEETING OF w. c. T. U.
Equal Suffrage Will Be Discussed at
Next Meeting.

The first of a series of monthly meet
ings to be held during the hot months
by the Women's Christian Temperance
union was held yesterday afternoon in
Guernsey hall. In the absence of the
president Mrs. Downing, Mrs. Field
acted in that capacity. She reported a
small balance in the treasury.
The ladies were to have discussed
equal suffrage, but it was decided to
defer a general discussion until the
next meeting. Mrs. Roberts touched
slightly on the subject, and stated that
women who compressed their waists
were incapable of self-government, not
to speak Of the government of others.
She further said that women will never
get what they are not capable of ask
ing and fighting for. The members OF
the Equal Suffrage association were in
vited to be present at the next meet
ing.
Miss Fannie Raub, local superintend-
ent of the Flower mission, read an in
teresting paper on the work of that
branch. 1t is a department of the Ma
tional Women's Christian Temperance
union, and is one of the most popular
branches of Women's Christian Tenn
perance union work.
Mrs. Field reported giving away sew
enty-eight bouquets to railroad men OF
Decoration day, all of which were
thankfully received. She stated tha
flowers had a mission both physica
and mental, and that their perfume is
healing to the soul as well as to the
body.
The next meeting will be held on thu
second Tuesday of July.

NAUSEOUS OR PLEASANT.
A Remedy Pleasing TO the Palate Of More
Benefit Than a Nausesting One.

In former days n medicine was valued
according to its nauseousness, Even now
there are those who dlstrust pleasant
medicine. Yet our sense of taste Is a
guard and guide implanted In us to en-
able us to avoid that which would do us
harm. What the taste approves benefits
tho body, what 1t rejects would often
times IL taken, impair the health, some
times destroy the life,
The very qualities which the taste APP
proves upbulld and fortify the body
against the onslaughts of disease.
This truth is wonderfully eXemplifed in
the wider end wider recognition of
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as possessing
the most wonderful medicinal and slim
ulating power of any agent that is known
to the medical profession.
Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey is as harm
less as milk, as pleasant to the taste as
nectar, and as powerful in remedial and
stimulating power as are all the agents
of the whole pharmacopoela. This great
truth is gradually becoming known the
world over, and 1t is well for the human
race that such is the case.

DESTROYING THE TREES,
Electric Wires Doing Much Damage
to City Hall Elms.

The top half of one of the large trees
in front of city hall broke off yester-
day at the point where the Scranton
Railway company's feed" wires rested
against the trunk. Although heavily
insulated and protected with extra
windings of tape, the wire ate its way
half through the tree. a large branch
of another tree nearby is about ready
to drop from the same cause.
Some years ago a proposition was
made to remove these trees from in
front of the city hall, that the people
might see what they paid $l75,OOO for,
The proposition was defeated at that
time, but has several times been on
the point Of coming up again. There
will be no need of further discussion OF
the advisability of removing the trees
if the wires are not molested for a year
or so.

INITIATED Body Found,

portion Of mans body hOated up
with the tide at New York the other
morning and bumped against the piles
OF the Crescent Athletic club landing
at Bay Ridge. Fred Johnson, who is
employed as a Waterman by the club
went down to the landing at 7:45
O'Clock to give his dog bath. He saw
the fragment of the body in the water
and hurried back to the club house TO
notify the police. In response to John
sons notification, first one policeman
came down to the landing and then an
other. Meanwhile a crowd had gath
cred, and in order to get the object
away from the crowd and to keep it
from floating out into midstream the
policemen got into a boat and towed
the fragment to the foot of Seventy
ninth street. Later they reported at
the police station that a part of a
mans body from the neck to a point
below the knees had been found off
Bay Ridge; that it was badly decOm-
posed, and had been in the water a
long time. The fragment was head
less and armless. The cuts at the
neck and shoulders seemed to be
clean, but the police do not suspect
foul play. There was absolutely no
clothing on the fragment nor any
marks which would make identtica-

CHINESE FOUNDRIES.
Primitive Methods Which Will Interest

Primitive Methods Which Will Interest,"
the Craft in America.
The primitive methods employed by
the Chinese in their native foundries
are set forth in an interesting form in
description of an iron foundry at
kaun-Kiao (Kan-Kok) by writer to
the Celestial Empire. "The furnace"
ne says, was very simple in construc-
tloA, being made of clay in three see-
tions. The lowermost was what might
be called the crucible, and was the re-
ceptacle for the molten metal, being
MADE a cubic foot in capacity. The
middle section was a ring of the same
diameter as the lower section, and
about eight inches in height. In this
was a hole to receive the blast pipe,
the blast being supplied by native
'Dox' bellows of the usual type. The
upper section was another ring about
foot higher. l was not fortunate
enough" he continues, "to see the
putting together of the furnace; when
l saw it, the operation was begun. and
a man was piling on the last Of the
man was then pumping the blast.
waited till l saw the yellow flame be-
gin to show above the piled up iron.
which gradually sank down as that
below melted BY and by two men
pumped the blast. AS the process
went on still stronger blast was
needed, so third man helped at -..e

and furious, while one workman, wear
ing an old broad brimmed straw hat
to protect his head and face from the
shower OF sparks, stirred the glowing
mass with an iron rod. In due time
the melting was finished, the molten
iron having fallen through to the bot
tom section of the furnace. The blast
was stopped, the bellows disconnected,
and the upper and middle sections Of
the furnace taken off and laid aside.
The surface of the molten iron being
SKINNED of it's Stag, it was we'll COW

duty was to keep the crucible in his
arms, literally hugging it to himself
and to fill the molds previously ar
ranged around. In this he was as
sisted by woman who raked back the
ashes where the iron was to run out.
On this occasion plowshares were the
result of the operation, the one charge
being sufficient to cast about twenty.
Almost Immediately following this
man was another, who took the molds
apart and removed their contents No
sooner were the molds empty than the
workmen set about repairing their in
ner surface with a black paste, ready
for another casting. Upon inquiry I
was told that about fifty cattle Zone

twenty cattles Of fuel constituted one

On ECr Mothers Grave.

A well-dressed woman walked into
the Erie Street cemetery at Cleveland,
Ohio, the other afternoon, and, going
after two women, who were walking
through the burial grounds, found the
woman upon the grave. She was in
a semi-conscious condition and an
empty vial, labeled carbolic acid, lay
beside her. The sufferer was removed
to the Cleveland General hospital. The
woman proved to be Miss Richards Of
81 Scovlle avenue. She was a victim
of intense grief, superinduced through
deaths in the family. Two months ago
her mother died and six months ago
her brother was buried. 1t was on the
formers grave that she was found.
