MRS. DEWEYs CONVERSION.
Statement of Father Burke on Her
Religious Faith.

Religious Faith.
The priest who gave Mrs. Hazen,
now Mrs. Dewey, her first communion
when she was received into the Ro-
man Catholic Church is the Rev. Rich
ard Burke. at present pastor of St.
Columbus's Church, Buffalo. He said
yesterday that Archbishop Keane was
credited with her conversion, but it
had fallen to him to administer the
sacrament of the holy eucharist.
Father Burke spent seven years in
Washington and has served in two
campaigns as chaplain in the English
Army under Lord Roberts

Father Burke. 1T has been reported
to me that she ceased attending the
Church nearly two years ago, in fact
shortly after Dewey's victory at Man
lila. AS l understand it, Commodore
Dewey was engaged to Mrs. Hazen
when he went to the Philippines. Mrs.
Dewey realized that such a national
hero might aspire to the Presidency
To a woman of such ambition the
thought probably came before it oc-
Cured to Dewey himself. About that
time Mrs. Hazen began to be remiss

A MARVELLOUS DOCTOR.
Death of Boston's Most Wonderful
Surgeon and Physician.

Surgeon and Physician.
DR.. James r. Cooke, the celebrated
blind surgeon and hypnotist. was
found dead in his home, on Pinckney
street. Boston, April 13, under pecul-
lar circumstances. His wife, Char
lotte Cooke, is under the surveillance
of the police.
Mrs. Cooke says that in the early
afternoon she found the doctor sitting
IN the office in a stupefied condition.
She got him into bed and then went
out for few hours, leaving him
alone. When she returned he was
dead with bullet hole in the back of
his head, the pistol having been
placed in his mouth. Some other per-
son in the house notified the police,
and an investigation is now in pro-
gress.
DR.. Cooke was one Of the most sue
cessful operating surgeons in the
United States, despite the fact that
he was totally blind He seemed to
have developed a psychic sense that
conferred more vivid and accurate
consciousness than sight enables most
people to enjoy. DR.. Cooke was grad
uated from the Boston University
School of Medicine in June, 1892. He
had been blind from his infancy.
When he was two years old he took
medicine that destroyed his sight.
After his graduation DIR. Cooke es-
tablished a wonderful reputation as
a surgeon and built up an extensive
practice in Boston. He was not only
a master surgeon but a clever oculist,
psychologist and an authority on
hypnotism. He wrote on Socialism,
was a talented musician, an eloquent
lecturer, an athlete and an ardent BIZ
cyclist. He was but thirty-seven
years old, but he had such reputa-
tion that he was generally believed
to be much older.
His sense of touch was so delicate
that to watch the movements of his
knife in a difficult surgical operation
was to feel that some unseen agency
was at work, taking the place of
sight. Never did he permit the knife
to move a fractional part of an inch

leagues regarded his work as mar

Flowers From the Casket of a Diph.
liberia Patient.

liberia Patient.
Flowers employed at the funeral
services for Lucy Schneider, a little
girl, who died of diphtheria in Chi
cago February 81, are said to have
conveyed the infection and caused
the death of Anna Sewelke and the ILL
ness of May Provnick. The Health
Department authorities are investigat-
ing the matter, and promise to prose
cute the undertaken if the allegations
are found to be true.
1t is alleged that the blossoms were
placed on the casket of the girl, and
afterward put in the hearse, which
then proceeded on it's way to the
cemetery. There, instead of burying
the flowers with the casket, it is said
they were given to relatives, who took
them home to their children. The
children after playing with them tore
them to pieces, and the petals lay
scattered about the house for some
time.
Shortly afterward one child was
taken i'll with diphtheria, and died,
while another became infected later
and is very sick.

MRS. PERLEYs FINISH.
How Lecturer Wound Up Her Talk
To Women.

Mrs. Annie Lawrence Perley deliv-
cred series of lectures in haywood,
near Chicago, under the auspices of
the Twentieth Century Club, an ex-
elusive feminine organization. She
finished the series the other night,
and this is what she said:
Take your fourteen dollars. It's
every cent could make out of an en-
tire lecture course in your little old
town, and you can do any thing you
like with it,"
Flinging two five dollar bills and
four silver dollars on the table in
front of her, Mrs. Perley looked at
the women of haywood and waited
for them to speak. Then, as all be-
gan to speak at once, she ordered the
Janitor to put them in the street.
Mrs. Annie Lawrence Perley hired
a hall and met the women of May
wood. Charged with failing to turn
over to the public schools of May
wood $25 of the proceeds of her lee
ture course, which it was alleged she
had promised, Mrs. Perley took this
method of public defense.
You spiteful women" she shouted,
you are liars of the worst kind; you
are sneaks of the lowest nature; you
are not fit to live in civilized COM
munity."

A MYSTERIOUS DRUG.
BY It Man is Doomed to Slow
Death,

Dr. E. H. Barker, who had been
treating H. Grote, of Cumminsville, a
suburb of Cincinnati, was puzzled and
baffied by his patients symptoms.
Finally he told him plainly that some
thing wrong was going on.
Grote then broke down and weep
ingly said he believed he was being
slowly poisoned to death. His wife,
whom he considered mentally ire
sponsible, was in control of an herb
doctor. He said he overheard the
herb doctor say to his wife that he
had a slow poison that would make
a weazened old man out of Grote in
two months and finally kill him.
DIR. Barker said that whatever had
been given to the man was acting in
just that way. He treated Grote for
poison, and soon there was a wonder
full improvement. In the mean time
Grote's servant girl found box Of
white powder, which on being examin-
ed by chemist, proved to be quinine,
mixed with foreign substance, whose
character could not be determined
Mrs. Grote, who is apparently sixty
years old, declared that the powder
was baking soda. and said she had
not seen the herb doctor for month.
Grote told of three occasions on
which after drinking coffee which
had bitter taste, his muscles had be-
come rigid and symptoms of poison
ing had developed. DR.. Barker says
that whatever has been given to Grote
it will kill him. "Six months ago."
says the doctor, "Grote was a fine
specimen of physical manhood; to-
day there is not a sound organ in his
body" The police are at work on
the case.
