Oh hoard of Charities.
1t has been rumored at the District build
ing during the past several days that the
board of charities will recommend to the
commissioners the placing of the physi-
clans to the poor under the control and
supervision of the board. Inquiry has de-
veloped the fact that the board is consider
ing the matter, but has not yet reached any
definite conclusion in the case. The physi-
clans to the poor, twenty-five in number,
receive 81 per day, being pay out of the
funds provided for the relief of the poor,
and they are under the control and super
vision of the health officer. 1t would not
be necessary, however to change any law
should the Commissioners decide to approve
the expected recommendation of the board
of charities, as the physicians to the poor
are not designated or otherwise recognized
by law

reputation. While suffering from typhoid
fever last fall and in a delrium he talked
about the killing. His wife, to whom he
had not impaired the secret, had her
curiosity aroused and after he recovered

RoBBER CAUSE OF A SEPARATION
Couple, Startled by Thief, Engage in
Ouarrel Which MYstifies All.


Mrs. Addie Clark, bride of four
weeks, is the victim of a very mysterious
robbery, which incidentally caused her
to also lose her husband during their
honeymoon. Mrs. Clark, whose home is
in Evansville, Ind, answered the matri-
monial ad of Asa D. Clark of st. Louis.
He went to Evansville and married her,
afterward telling her that she was only
his fifth wife. The couple went to ST.
Louis, the bride taking over $1,000 in
money and jewelry with her. They
stopped at the residence of Mrs. Martha
Gill, who claims to be Clark's sister.
While at supper Mr.. and Mrs. Clark were
startled by a scream, and rushing up
stairs found Mrs. Gill on the floor. She
said masked burglar had ransacked
Clark's room and had knocked her down.
During the police investigation which
followed Clark had a violent quarrel with
his bride and for protection she ran to
the police station, where she slept over
night. Mrs. Clark now says she will re-
turn to her former home in Evansville.
The police are greatly mystitied over the
robbery.
