ENDED HER LIFE BIZ A SHOT.
Miss Mary Robinson Committed Suicide at
Her Home, Friday Afternoon.

Her Home, Friday Afternoon.
Mary Robinson, aged about 80 years,
daughter of George F. Robinson of Nos
log and 10S West Tenth street, with
whom she lived, committed suicide
about 9 o'clock Friday afternoon by
shooting herself through the heart, in
her room, which is in the second story
of the house. The body was found BY
her brother, Leslie Robinson, few
minutes after the shot was fired.
DIR. Irvine M. Finn was summoned
Immediately, but when he arrived life
was extinct. The police station was
communicated with and Capt. Black
went to the house and took charge of
the body until the arrival of Coroner
Vandever.
The only reason assigned for the
woman taking her life is that she had
been suffering with dyspepsia, and this
is borne out by the contents of note
which was found by CAPT. Black on
bed near where the body was lying. 1t
read as follows:
81 am sick and respondent, and tired
of living in misery. Good bye Pop.
Frank, Les and Ed. God bless you
ali. You have been good and kind to
me. Name
At about 2 o'clock her brother Leslie,
while in his fathers saloon, which is
on the first floor, heard a noise in the
second story of the house which
sounded like board falling. No shot
was heard and there was nothing
special to attract attention. About 10
minutes later, however, Leslie had &C.
casion to go upstairs, and, going into
his sisters room, saw her lying on the
floor.
He ran downstairs exc,aiming,
"Mame has shot herselfr' He and
other members of the family immedi-
ately did what they could with the hope
of saving the young woman's life.
For at least a month Miss Robinson
had been Respondent and said several
times she wished she would die, and
occasionally talked about killing her
self. Her father and brothers did
what they could to cheer her up. Friday
morning she was talking to her brother
Edward and asked him what was the
easiest way to die. He tried to divert
her mind from the subject.

NURSERY COOKERY.
DIET IN DISEASE.
BY Christine Terhune Herrick.
CONTINUED from last week.)
CHICKEN BROTH.

tCOntlnueu from last Week'I
CHICKEN BROTH.
Make as directed by the preceding
recipe, but do not trouble to clear the
soup. Give it either plain or with rice.
For the latter soak a tablespoonful of
washed rice for an hour in cup of cold
water, put it with pint of the soup and
boil steadily for an hour, or until the
rice is soft. The soup may be otherwise
varied, by adding to 1t half cup of
milk in which has been stirred a tea
spoonful of -four, and putting this with
tablespoonful of butter into the soup,
and stirring over the fire until the soup
is the thickness of double cream. A well
beaten egg, added carefully that 1t may
from the fire makes it more nourishing,
BEEF BROTH.
Put a pound of beef, cut into small
pieces, over the fire with one quart Of
cold water. Bring very slowly to boil,
and cook gently at the side Of the fire
for three or four hours. Strain through
a coarse wire soup strainer, set aside to
get cool and remove all the grease from
the surface by skimming and with a
piece of soft paper. To such broth may
be added oatmeal, barley, rice tapioca,
added in the proportion of a tablespoon
full of any one of them to quart of the
soup and cooked in it for an hour, or
until tender.
The scraped beef referred to above is
sometimes the best diet for child suf-
fering from an extreme case of bowel
trouble, whether this be simple diar-
rhoea or dysentery. Happy results have
been obtained by feeding the patient on
this and hot water. Such diet stimu-
lates the stomach and supports the
strength, but it does little else, and as
soon as the patient is fairly GONZALES
cent, a variety may be given by the adj
dition to the bill of fare of such broths
and jellies as those mentioned above.
Besides these and boiled or broiled
chicken and lamb chops, may be eaten
eggs, simply cooked, custards, yellow or
white,-the latter are especially deli
caterpillar blanc mango, junket, rice,
very thoroughly cooked, unbuttered
toast, either dry or dipped in little
boiled milk, and perhaps a simple wine
jelly.
SCRAPED BEEF.
Select a tender beefsteak. broil 1t
lightly over clear fire, and then scrape
1t to pulp with rather dull knife. By
this process the fibres of the meat are
left and only thu Juice and tender por-
lions taken. Run this pulp through a
sieve, salt It slightly and give it to the
patient spread on thin slices of bread and
butter, or in the form of little balls
that are Drowned over the fire or in the
oven Just before eating. This preparation
of meat is admirable for delicate stom-
ach as well as for deranged bowels. Rare
mutton chops can be scraped in the same
fashion for the sake of little variety,
but one can eat beef longer time with
out safety than any other kind of meat.

Plaintiff and defendant (Ohio Bank) were
creditors of the defendant furniture COM
pany, and brought suits upon their claims.
The Ohio Bank had attachments levied on
property of Northumberland being re-
covered. Plaintiff then brought this ac-
tion as a creditors bill and asked for an
injunction against the Ohio Bank, enjoin-
ing the attachment proceedings, and the
Injunction was granted. Held error and
that the right of the Ohio Bank did not
depend on the regularity Of the judgment
obtained in Ohio (Which was used as evil
dence) but on the judgments against de-
PENDANT recovered by it and the interven-
ors in this State, which are regular and
are still unsatisfed.
Held further that the Ohio Bank ac-
quired, by the levy of the attachment, a
prior right to the fund, and that the credi-
tors bill gave no lien to the plaintiff.
