Durand, Of Sidney, near Binghamton,
n. Y. Miss Durand was a student Of
the Sidney High School and captain Of
the first basket ball team. While prac-
Using for an important match she made
a desperate attempt to win a goal. The
whole opposing team threw themselves
Gu her and she was badly hurt.
She tried to go on playing, but was
unable to do so. She had to be carried
home, and there the doctors found that
she had suffered severe internal in
juries. In spite of every attention she
sank rapidly and died. She was a
strong, healthy girl.
This tragic occurrence is likely to give
a severe blow to basket ball, which was
introduced as a substitute for football
among girls at college and school. 1t is
supposed to have all the exciting fea-
lures of football without the dangerous
ones.
The game is played by FIVE on a side.
Tackling below the waist Is not allow
ed. Whenever a player is held she
passes the ball to some one else on her
own side. The goal is made by pitching
the ball into basket high above the
players heads. The rules are supposed
to be framed so that there can be nc
massing Of large number Of players

dead. He kept it just as it was, will,

three children had left them years ago.
he is alone surviving.
No one takes more interest in this
DU'0m than his American wife, who al
ways refers to this trait in her hus-
bands character as one of the most
lovable. From those who know the
couple and who have seen them this
year, it is learned that the little duch-
ess has absolute control over her hus-
band, and that he obeys her as a child
would an elder person. Her influence
on him has been wonderful, and he
has now settled down to a quiet domes-
tic life. Occasionally the old desire to
be- bohemian is revived, says the
New York Times, but his wife watch
es him very carefully and makes him
give good account Of himself, which
he never fails to do.

been placed very seriously in doubt.
PerilOus Mail Route.

The strange happenings on the Be-
wick free delivery route still continue,
and the carriers are becoming much
worried.
Three Of them who drive the wagon
from Berwick to various points in the
country round have had thrilling expe-
riences, and the last is the worst Of
the lot. A couple of weeks ago a large
catamount sprang from a tree at Car
rier John Jacoby's horse and seized its
head The horse shook the animal off
and dashed down the mountain to Ber-
wick, Jacoby having all he could do
to cling to the wagon and trust to
luck.
A short time later Carrier John Tres
sler's horse stopped short and SHE'D
into the bush. Tressler saw an enor-
nous snake in the road, which he de-
scribed as being as thick as a mans
leg. 1t disappeared in the brush, and
is supposed to be python which es-
capped from a circus at Berwick a year
ago.
Carrier 0. E. Evans noticed thai
while passing Martzville cemetery, IN
Briar Creek township, his horse acted
in a peculiar manner and bolted. This
occurred twice before Evans saw the
cause Of it, and then the other night he
beheld a terrifying white object rise
at the cemetery fence and wave its
arms. He let the horse bolt, and now
takes circuitous route. He says lie
does not believe in ghosts. and thinks
the apparition is some joker with Il
sheet, but he is not going to take any
chances.
The carriers are demoralized by these
occurrences, and each is now armed
with a double-barreled gun.-Wilkes-
barre (Pa) Correspondence Philadel-

turns to the family plat where her
children lie and then she returns to her
home, where ever before her eyes is the
memory Of two children stricken in in
fancy and the image Of him, cut down
like a flower in the zenith Of his powers
and usefulness, and at the height Of his
political fame.
She has no desire in life now save to
die and he with him. This feeling she
expressed soon after the funeral and
the same feeling burns in her longings
still. 10 those around her she speaks
little She sits silent, contemplatiye,
with fixed eyes and pathetic face, her
thoughts being ever on him who is
gone. Her sister, Mrs. Barber, con-
stantly attends her, but the most as
siduous care cannot recall her mind
from her own and the nations supreme
tragedy.
She has lost all interest in the little
her to forget that she was an invalid.
1t was her custom to embroider and to
knit slippers and turn out many other
kinds of handiwork. These little ar
ticles she used to give to her friends as
presents. Sometimes they went to
baZars when money was being raised
for charity. But she knits and EN-
broiders no more. The pastime so long
delightful to her no longer appeals. All
her thoughts are. attuned to one heart
chord and that vibrates only to the
! memory touch of William Mckinley.
Similarly, in former times. Mrs. Nc
Kinlcy loved music and was as happy
as school girl in the midst Of little
family functions and the quiet enter
taiulnents furnished by her friends But
these, too, are of the past. She no
longer cares for them. It, is doubtful if
she ever thinks of them. Her mind has
but one subject and that subject alb
serbs all her thoughts, waking and
sleeping.

AS to her physical health, she Is as
we'll now as at any time in many
years. That is, she is in her normal
mere physical condition that gives the
most anxiety. Some day it is feared
the awful load Of sorrow that weighs
upon her mind will prove too heavy
and her life will 60 out at the same
time. Hers indeed is melancholy, pa
thetic widowhood. Her frail body sub
mits to the encroa cllments of time, but
her heart is divorced from it and lies
buried in the grave.

A recent guest at Tandagaree. the

companies that make up the great

form this cOpar'tnership between the
shareholders ana the employees OF tiie
United States Steel corporation.
The plan was conceived before lne
strike was thought Of and then u was
expected that it might be put in oper-
alton in two years. 1t required time
to formulate the details OF such a ire
mendous undertaking. For tins rea-
son announcement was withheld.
At a recent conference. however, De-
tween the executive board 81 the
a malgamatei association ana Cliarles
s,chwab, president Of the United
States Steel corporation, it came out
that Schwab, under the direction Oh
Morgan, had formulated profit shar,,
ing scheme whereby it was proposed
to make every emplOye OF the steer
corporation cooperator In the Dtlsl-
ness.
The Press will also say that the plan
contemplated by the United States
Steel corporation is nothing more
than high development OF the
scheme that has prevailed in the Car
negie plant since 1892. After study
ing the success attained by Carnegie.
it is said that Morgan and his assist
ants In the management OF the Unit
ed States Steel corporation deter
mined that it would be wise to extend
the scheme.

Any man or woman who wants soft.
glossy hair must be free OF dandruif,
which causes falling hair. Since 1t
has become known that dandruif Is a
germ disease, the old hair ,prepara-

have been abandoned, and the public,
BARRIERS and doctors included, have
taken TO using NewbroS lIerpicide,
the only hair preparation that kills
the dandrutf germ. Il. Dodd, Dickin-
