POISON SUSPECTED.
Investigation Into the Death OF
George W. kiah i'm Cambridge, Md.

George W. II iah i'm Cambridge Md
Cambridge. Md. Jan. 12-George W.
Kiah. colored man who has been sick for
some days, died on Monday last in conyul-
sions. Suspicion that his death was caused
by foul play was Immediately aroused and
the county authorities We're notified in or
der that they might take such steps as
seemed necessary.
An autopsy was made by DTs. John Mace
and Guy Steel, who reported to the jury
of inquest that Kiah's liver. heart and
lungs were sound and that they had sent
the stomach TO Baltimore for chemical
analysis. The jury adjourned to await a
report. Joseph Fickers is foreman of the
jury.
The facts in the case are these: Kiah
had been for some time a widower He
showed attention TO coiored woman who
was near neighbor. On December IS he
was married in Baltimore TO another wo-
man named Mary Wilson. On that day his
former flame. who now lives in Baltimore.
is said to have been in Cambridge and to
have been seen TO go into the house She
returned to Baltimore that night
On the next morning Kiah and his bride
returned TO Cambridge. On the following
evening the family, including two children
of Kiah by a former marriage were made
sick by drinking tea or something which
they ate. kiah himself was too unwell to
leave the house until Sunday, when he
yentured out. That afternoon he was TAX
en- with conVulsionS, which came on again
that night and he died the next morning.
His wife had previously received letters
from the woman to whom he had shown
attention begging her not TO marry Kiah

this purpose The statistics show that the
annual packing CT the entire country now
averages nearly $500 600 cases.
The tomato leaf blight was destructive
to the trucking interests of the State dur
ing the past two or three years. The first
serious outbreak Cf this disease in this
State occurred near Baltimore city about
twenty years age. Since that time other
sections have been more or less involved.
The disease is caused by a bacterial germ,
and may begin its attack when the plant
is very young in the seed bed or at any
stage thereafter 1t always begins by at
tacking the older or lower leaves f1rst and
gradually extends upward. The disease is
contracted by the plant in three ways
through the use cf seed from diseased and
enfeebled stock; through the agency of
the spores which live over in the soil
Of the seed bed or the field. The spores
may attack other plants besides the to-
mato. The infection may also be produc-
ed through the agency of insect pests. The
use of the Bordeaux solution proved an
effectual means of holding the tomato with
this solution four times produced with
thirty-fve varieties an average increase in
yield Of two and five-tenths tons per acre
of marketable fruit.

PAUNCEF0TES DEPARTURE
POSTPONED A YEAR
REASONS FOR HIS PRESENCE
The British Ambassador to Remain
Here to Conduct Canal Ne
sOtiafions.

Sir Julian PauncefOte, the British am
bassador. will remain accredited TO the
United States for another year beginning
in April. This unusual action on the part
CT the British government arises from It's
deep interest in the negotiations for the
abrogation sf the Clayton Buiwer treaty
and new treaty guaranteeing the neu
trality of the proposed Nicaragua Canal
with which Sir Julian is so familiar.
Sir Julian would naturally have been
retired last spring, but the British gov
eminent as a mark of friendship and be-
cause of the critical condition of the re-
lations between the United States and
Spain, determined to retain him here for
another year. The negotiations with ref
erence to the Nicaragua Canal are now
in such shape that it would be difficult
for a successor to Sir Julian to handle
them properly. In view OF this fact Lo.d
Salisbury has directed that he be re tanned
in Washington, and the embassy TO-DAY
received official word to this effect.
Sir JuIians retention will be greeted
with great satisfaction in Administrat on
circles. During his service of ten years
he has assiduousiy cultivated friendly re-
latonS with the United States. He was
the successor OF LORD SackNlile west, VINO
returned to Great Britain in disgrace,
and by his tact soon bridged over this in
cident. His friendliness for the Washing
ton Government before and during the
war was frequently manifested. aud the
authorities are naturally pleased at the
decision of the British government TO con-
fer upon him the unusual honor of retain
ing him in active service so long after
the natural time of retirement.
Great Britain does not propose to re-
linquish without compensation the righ
conferred upon her III the proposed canal
by the Clayton Bulwer treaty. The con-
cessions she wants have been outlined TO
Secretary Hay, along with her announce
ment of her willingness to comply with
the wishes of this Government In the ab-
rogaticn of the Clayton Buiwer conven-
ton. But she desires il TO be understood
that the canal must be neutral in war as
we'll as in peace, for she appreciates the
Importance OF such a waterway in cas- OF
hostilities in the Far East. The admin
istration is quite willing that the canal
shall be strictly neutral, and there will
be no difficulty, il is expected, in reach
ing a satisfactory conclusion on tn S
point. Great Britain will probably want
concessions relative to the canal char es
and other minor points. but it is believed
that the neutrality of the waterway is
with her the most important question.

TRAGEDY IN FRoSTBURG.
William Preston Kills His Wife and
Then Shoots Himself

Frostburg, Nd, Jan. 12.-Wednesday
William Preston. of Frostburg, wrote a
letter in which he told his wife Good
by" Last night at s o'clock he shot and in
stantly killed her and then shot himself
and was found lying on the floor, where
he committed both deeds, with his brains
oozing from the skull and groaning with
intense pain.
In his letter Preston complained of other
peoples talk causing him to do the deed
He recited some of the Lord s Prayer
and hoped everybody would meet on good
terms in heaven. Preston is thirty years
of age, and was formerly resident of
Barton. His wife was twenty three years
of age and a fine-looking woman. The
couple had been married three months
She had child two years of age Her
maiden name was Mulvaney, her mother
was Mrs. Folk, and she was the adopted
child of George Railey, of FrOstburg.
Preston is a young miner. living IN a
stable which had been converted into a
dwelling house on Frost Avenue, in Frost
burg His wound is of such character
that it is thought he cannot survive. He
had been drinking and was so abusive TO
his wife that he had been locked up.
Upon being released yesterday he renewed
his tactics and she obtained warrant.

band in charge when he broke away and

wreck at sea is not the only place
where n life line is of importance.
There is life line for the sick, as we'll as
for the drowning man. 1t is DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is not
cuTe-ali, but IT is a scientific medicine that
goes TO the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases When a man
gets seriously sick, lie can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as
sinilation of the hvegiving elements OF
the food. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry accomplishes all these things.
"A young man lay pale and motionless upon

DEV0TEES OF RACING
FILLED WITH ANXIETY
THE SPORT IN THE DISTRICT
Fears That 1t VIII Come to an
Abrupt End Il Henning Book
makers Are Convicted.

The trial of the cases of the bookmakers
who are charged with violating the law
governing betting at the recent race meet
ing at Benning is looked forward TO with
much interest by those hereabout who are
interested in turf matters These cases may
be called up at any time. 1t is beileved
that the result of these trials Will
have decisive effect on the racing sport
in the District. 1t is held by many that If
the booklnakers are convicted racing here
is done for-that meeting without the
books would be of little interest and los
ing enterprise.
There are some-a minority, however
who seem to think that whatever the out
come of the cases may be, racing VIII be
continued. and some go so far as to pre-
dict that the elimination of the betting
ring would prove fortunate thing. TINS,
others say, is a glance at the situation from
a purely pious standpoint. But as horse
racing and pety do not dovetail smoothly
the high moral method, if it is forced upon
the Jockey Club by the action of the court,
will end in financial disaster and those
who would have to bear the brunt Will
hardly undertake a meeting with such
result staring them Squarely in the face.
1t is conceded by the advocates OF betting
that piety, if il could be hooked pleasantly
with sport of any kind, would doubtless
have salutary effect. But betting they
contend, is more congenial mate for the
horse racing game This was quite ap-
parent at the last meeting at Benning
Whether speculation was or was not done
within the law there, seven in ten of the
people who attended that meeting from
day TO day, regardless OF color, sex, pre-
vious or present condition. religiously, So
cially or intellectually, if they had the
money, took a flyer whenever they thought
they saw Il good thing. About the only
man who didn't bet was the fellow whom
track experience had taught dear lesson
and who had sense enough to know that
he knew little or nothing about either
horses. jockeys or track Had it not been
for the opportunity to turn a dollar now
and then that was afforded al Benning
the attendance would not have averaged
one-half what it did and the fall meeting
would have been a dismal failure
Those who argue this way say that if the
pending cases go against the bookmakers
1t is dollars TO dimes that the Jockey Club
will throw up the sponge and that there
will be no more racing around Washington
until more liberal privileges are granted.

THE CULINARY ART.
Young Women of Virginia Anxious
for Practical Education.

for 81 Practical Education.
Richmond, Va. Jan. 12.-The governor
has not made any selection of student
to the Dread Cooking and Domestic School
al Worcester Mass, which recently of
fered this State free scholarship. He
has a great many applications from all
parts of the State and from the best young
women The question is however, con-
stantly asked whether this institute is open
to both races. 1t is quite probable that
the governor will make no choice of a stu
dent until this matter is definitely settled
A catalogue received at the executive Of
fee from the institute says: ANY wo
man over eighteen years of age, with sat
isfactory references and in good health
will be admitted to any of the special
classes, and quoting from this. it is gen
orally assumed that students of both races
are received on the same footing. This in
formation has not come TO the executive
office in any more definite way than the
section contained in the catalogue. The
young women of Virginia have manifested
a deep interest in this matter of securing
practical education in the culinary art
If the question of the color line is satisfac-
torily settled. there VIII be an interesting
competition for this Scholarship offered by
