Value Of tie Pine Needle.

The pine needles of Oregon are use
ful in q great many ways-in fact,
jhere is scarcely part of them that
does not in some way serve its turn.
When the Juice has been extracted it
is made into "pine needle oil, ;" which
has great medicinal value. The pine
is used for upholstering and the fibre
is made into underclothing. The
Germans have long recognized the
value of the pine needle, and have
established resorts for consumptlves

II IS A QUEER CASE
That of a Man Who Killed
His Wife
I'M A FIT Of INSANITY
And Now Sues for the lnsur-
ance on Her Life.

Philadelphia, Oct 10.-A suit to recover
insurance on the life of his wife, whom
he killed on December 81, 1893 has COM
menced in this city by Professor Swithin
c. Shortlige, who is now residing at Ken
nett Square, in Chester county. The suit,
which is to recover the sum of 81, OBJ from
the Pr evident Life and Trust company, is
one of the most remarkable in the history
of life insurance.
The tragedy which ended the life of
Mrs Shortlidge was enacted in Media on
sation. Several years before that date
Professor Shortlidge had come to Media
with his wife and family and established
what was known as the Media Academy
for young nen. For several years the
venture was successful, the school having
a high-class patronage. Then Mrs. Short
Idge died. n November, 1893, Professor
Shortlidge married Miss Marie Dixon
Jones. Shortly after his second maria ge
the professor began to act strangely. On
the night of the killing, six weeks after
the marriage, Professor Shortlidge in
vited his wife to go out with him for a
walk. A short distance from the house he
shot her through the heart and then at
tempted suicide but was disarmed by a
neighbor. n the trial which followed Pro-
fessor Shortlidge was acquitted on the
ground of insanity and was confined in
an asylum until a year ago. There IS no
case of a parallel nature in the insur-
ance annals of this state.
