STARVED HERSELF TO DEATH.
Mrs. Meyer the Victim of n New Heal
ing Fad.

PHILADELPHIA, May IAN investiga-
ton into the death recently of Mrs. Her
nina Meyer fifty years of age, has resulted
in eliciting the information that she was a
victim of starvation in consequence of her
belief in the fasting treatment for disease.
c. F. Meyer, her husband, accepts the death
of his wife as due to heart failure. He
said that Mrs. Meyer had been suffering
with chronic rheumatism for year. and
that the family physicians efforts TO re-
lieve her had been without avail. In de-
srair she turned to the fasting treatment.
She consulted Henry Ritter, said to be the
chief advocate and adviser of the fasting
cult in this city. He is a demonstration in
the Drexei Institute. Under his direction
Mrs. Meyer is said to have abstained abso-
lutely from food for thirty-tive days. Moth
ing was allowed TO pass her lips but a
small quantity of tonicum and some physio-
logical salts dissolved in water. OF each of
these she was permitted to take sparingiy
every day as d stimulant.
For twenty-five days. Mr.. Meyer says,
his wife showed signs of improvement.
Then she was seized with convulsive vomit-
ing. She suffered in this manner for six
teen days. and on the thirty-fifth day she
tasted food From 100 pounds she was re-
duced to a mere skeleton. and three weeks
following the breaking of the fast she died
Ritter says he was unaware that Mrs.
Meyers heart was weak, and that he had
apparently cured her of rheumatis when
heart failure killed her.

GERMAN MARKETS PANICKY,
Fears That American Products Will
Cut the Local Prices.


BERLIN. May THE bourse last week
opened with violent breaks in quotations
for irons and coalers. upon American mar
ket reports. After Wednesday partial re-
covery of prices occurred but the general
tone remained nervous.
The National Zeitung, in its weekly mar
ket report, says:
Whether the United States has reached
crisis through overproduction and will
throw its surplus goods upon European
markets at the lowest prices is a question
which gives the deepest concern to the
London and continental bourses, and caused
a revulsion of prices for the dividend pay
ing paper everywhere, and particularly on
the German bourses. The movement pro-
duced severe losses last week, but the be-
ginning this week was of a panicky char
acter"
The paper points out that the situation
improved later through the wedding out of
weaker operators.
The threatened bOurse tax affected bOurse
operations unfavorably, particularly those
in bank stocks. A Saxon iron dealer in
formed representative of the press that
he was offered American rolled iron at 275
marks per ton, delivered and duty paid
which is 10 marks below German prices,
The Saxon government has opened con-
tracts for coal supplies next year. The
prices are TWO marks higher, but the guam
tity offered is sufficient

SOME NOVEL INVENTIONS,
Many Original Ideas Appear in Con


crete FOrm.
The number of patents issued by the pat
ent office Is still gradually on the increase,
and while some of them are repetitions
and others are Improvements, there are
many original ones A recent patent has
been issued for a four-wheeled automobile
truck so constructed with two large wheels
on an axe in the center of the vehicle and
a small wheel before and one behind, very
much facilitating the movements of same.
There is bread-raising and clothes-dry-
ing device consisting of set of shelves so
constructed as to go into the ordinary oven
of a cooking stove or range, and the clothes
can be laid on them and nicely dried.
To amuse the children soap bubble pipe
has been invented with three tubes in a
line, so as when the youngster fills the
pipe he will have a number of globules. A
little vessel to be used to clean bicycle
chains has been devised. 1t is filled with
liquid. By standing the bicycle on end a
moment the chain can be run through and
cleaned.

light sticks so as to keep them in proper

jacket has holes for the patients arms and

has patented shelf or vessel protector in
which to set the milk bottle behind the
front door in the early morning. A calf
weaver consists of plate that muzzles the
animal so as to prevent its getting at the

GROWN PRINCES CELEBRATION.
German Newspaper Comment On Aus
TRAN EmperOr's Presence.

German Newspaper Comment On Aus
trfan EmperOr's Presence.
BERLIN, May 7.-Suitable ceremonies in
connection with the celebration of the crown
prince Of Germany are reported from
Cologne, Kiel. Wilhelmshaven and a number
of other cities. In Kiel the Russian cruiser
Panyat Azova fired a salute of twenty-one
guns.
1t was noticed during the three days Gel
ebration that the kaiser and Emperor Fran
els Joseph changed their costumes scores Of
times, the kaiser Friday appearing in
eleven different uniforms. including those
of Austria. Italy, Russia and Germany.
An eyewitness of yesterdays sham fight
at Jueperbog relates that the artillery per-
formed unheard-of feats. They began firing
at 5000 meters with tolerable effect. At
5000 meters the terrific quick-firing guns
threw kail of shell and shrapnel with
ma thematical precision.
The Germ an press thus far have been
rather retcent regarding the political effect
of the Emperor of Austria's visit, but there
are number of exceptions. The Pan-Ger-
man lingo press commented upon the visit
unfavordbly, arguing that AuStria'S national
disruption and internal disunion render her
an untrustworthy ally. These papers blame
the kaiser for not pointing out to his
guest the necessity for re-eSta bliShing Ger
man homogeny there.
The Taegliche Rundschau publishes a SEN
sationai article concerning this matter. The
center party organ. the Cologne Volks lei
tung. replies to the article, saying: The
dreibund has fulfilled its peace mission so
far. and will continue to do SO. for its mere
existence prevents Franco-Russian agrees

There have been many serious accidents

Frederick C. Robertson opening in behalf

scented by counsel. The attorneys were urg-
ed to limit themselves to three hours on
each side.
Mr.. Robertson spoke with much emphasis
on the wrongs which he contended had been
committed, both by the Idaho officials and
the United States troops. He was particu-
larly severe in arraigning Bartlett Sin
clair the state official placed by Gov. Steun-
euberg in supreme authority In the Occur
d'Alenes. Mr.. Robertson contended, how
ever, that when martial law was declared
and United States troops were sent into the
district they could not be subordinated to
the civil authorities. He presented law au-
thnrities holding that United States troops
could act only under the authority of the
