treatment of measles with red light,

The Crime and its Motive.

Stella Burgis, who was married to
Vincent Burgls at Wilkeson, in Pierce
county, and tried to poison him three
days later, an account of which was
published in last weeks STANDARD,
has confessed she made two attempts
on his life by giving him carbOlic acid
in a glass of wine, once on the morning
of the Odd ult., and again in the after
noon. The first time he tasted the wine
and said it was too strong. The next
time he drank it and went into great
agony, his lie being saved by vigorous
efforts. She has confessed she did it,
but does not know why, only some one
told her to do it. The bride, who is
only II, left Wilkeson with her faith
err, man named Worzek, and cannot
be found, although her father has
returned. Burgis, the poisoned bride
groom, is all right again, and says
he has had enough OF married life.
A sequel to this story appears in the
Examiner Of the Sd, which establishes
the motive for the attempted murder.
1t appears that the father OF the girl,
who is Hungarian by birth, in &C
cordance with the custom of his coun-
trymen of selling their daughters in
marriage, thus disposed of Stella, the
bride of Burgis, receiving in pay the
sum OF $500. The girl rebelled against
the proceeding, having lover named
Joe Rye, miner by occupation, who
was lacking in the needful" to put
up for her purchase. She was forced
to the altar, despite her protests, and
in the Hungarian festivities which fol.
lowed, she enacted the part OF the dis
consulate maiden bereit of all hope.
Another woman, from the same coun.
try, it is said, who had once attempted
to poison herself as the result of do.

poisoning Burgis.
The victim, on recovery, it is report

STATISTICS show that in Germany
three men commit suicide to one Of
the gentler sex. Last year the aggre-
gate of suicides in that county reached
5000; of whom more than one-fourth
were mentally infirm, and nearly one
half addicted to drink. The chief
cause among men was general discon-
tent with conditions of life, vice and
sorrow, and with women mental de-
rangement, bodily suffering, shame
and passion. Hanging and shooting
were the principal means of exit from
Life's tumultuous struggle by the
men, and drowning and poison by the
women.

Death Of an Eminent Actor.

James \. Herne, the well-known
actor, passed from Earth, Sunday, at
his home in New York. He died of
acute bronchitis and pneumonia, after
an illness Of eight weeks. He was
taken i'll in Chicago, while playing in
" Sag Harbor," creation OF his OVID.
Mr.. Herne was born in Troy, y. V,
February LIST, 1898. He began his
stage life in New York, 40 years
ago, and has followed that profession,
achieving eminent distinction, up to
the time of his final prostration. He
was playwright as well as actor, and
some of the best dramas, such as
" Hearts of Oak" aud Shore Acres
remain TO per. etuate his memory.
There were at his bedside when he
passed away, his wife, his three
daughters and his fve-year-old son.
He owned a beautiful home in the
great metropolis and was reported to
he wealthy. The body was cremated.
LABOR FIGHTS AGAINST FEARFUL
ODDS. 1t is probably the contin-
ual boast of the administration party
that prosperity is being distributed in
great chunks all over the country,
that has created the widespread dis
content OF labor and led to the FORM
ing of labor trust to fight the COM
bination of trusts. The laborer has
wondered, if reports of prosperity be
true, why some of it has not come his
way, and after waiting long and pa
tiently, has adopted for his motto the
adage: "God helps those who help
themselves" and a universal strike en-
sues. He is, however, fighting against
fearful odds; organized capital can
turn the key, while labor, with all its
combination, simply starves. The
ballot has been the only means Of
dealing with the octopus. aud it has
almost slipped from the grasp of citi-
zenship.

Whenever a large number of people

there is a public sentiment In it's favor.
This is not necessarily true. Even the

that it has this basis.
