nection with the deaths of Mrs. Edna Ban
mister. Mrs. o. A. Brigham and Florence
n. Calkins of Lowell
There arc reasons to believe that Miss
Conners, whose place Miss Toppan took In
the Mess House in Woosholl and in the
Episcopal school in Cambridge, may have
died from unnatural causes. There are
things about the death OF Israel p. Dunham
and his wife OF Cambridge which have not
been satisfactorily explained, and a death
occurred in Wate-town. which will be in
vestigated. Miss Toppan nursed all these
people.
Some Patients Who Recovered.
Mrs Ferdinand of Cambridge became i'll
in her cottage in Cataumet while under the
care of Miss Toppan, but recovered after
the family became suspicious of Miss Top
pan and watched her: and o. NJ. Brigham
of Lowell says he recovered from an Illness
during which he was nursed by Miss Top
pan. after his physician had warned him
to watch his nurse.
I'VE will carefully go into all these cases
but until the investigations are completed
do not think ii would be wise to say too
much about all of them. II must be takelt
into consideration that twice this Toppan
woman tried to commit suicide. Every
where she went people became suspicious of
her. and when 1 ordered the arrest she was
about to leave the place where she was
staying in Amherst
I'VE are gradually tracing the career of
this woman from the time she was placed
in the founding asylum in Boston. and
everywhere We go We find something
new-some little thing that goes to sub
stantiate the suspicious we have of her.
Every one or nearly every one who has
known the woman intimately has been sus
picious Of her She always made a good
impression at first. but people did not know
her long until they noticed something about
her actions that was strange.
Death Followed in Her Footsteps.
In almost every house where she went
as nurse there was a death. and most of
those deaths were after a remarkably short
Illness. Persons who were apparently in
good health, as was the case at the Davis
house. died after two or three days Ill
ness. and at those deaths there were often
happenings about the house which no one
could explain.
Fires occurred at the Davis cottage and

"Arnold" Knit Goods
For Infants. Children and Women.

Il
1--WE have recently secured the ex-
elusive sale of the Arnold"
Knit Goods for St. Louis.
These garments are handled by
some of the largest retail dry
goods houses in the country, and
perhaps no single line of garments
has ever become so popular in
such a short space of time as Ar
nold's goods.
They are made from the finest
of Knit Webbing and Woven ma
terials. and are distinctly unlike
anything else shown in Women's S
and Children's Garments.
Mrs. Demorest, of New York,
who is recognized authority on
improved dress for Infants and
Children. will be with us for two
weeks to demonstrate the ad-
vantages peculiar to each gar
ment.
Arnold" Knit Goods are in
dorsed by the most prominent
physicians and nurses and are
widely known as reform garments
of the highest character, while be-
ing the most serviceable and eco
nomical yet devised.
The cost of making Arnold's
goods has been minimizsd to such
an extent that we are able to sell
all the varieties at unusually low
prices.
Among the specialties is an In
fanrs Outfit, containing 10 pieces.
at an exceedingly moderate
figure.
We direct special attention to
the articles for infants wear,
comprising in part Abdominal
Bands and Shirts, Fitted Diapers
and Diaper Inside Squares.
Also, the well-known Ger
trude" Suits. Draw-string Night
Gowns. Sleeping Garments with
feet, Bath Aprons for the nursery.
Women's ACCOMPLISHMENT Bands,
Serviettes and Serviette Safety
Belts and Women's Dressing
Sacques, Lounging and Tourist |
Robes, in woven fabrics.
The demonstration will begin |
this morning and be continued for |
two weeks in our Infants Wear
Department, on the second floor.

in the hotel at Cataumet We know that
there were fires In other places in which
she lived. Will We try to prove that the
motive for poisoning the Davis family was
robbery. and that she had a mania for do
ing this sort of thing that has gone on?
I'VE will probably try to prove anything
about a mania. l think that when all the
evidence is submitted it will show that
Miss Toppan's indebtedness to the estate
was. to a large extent. the cause of the
deaths of which she is suspected. And,
then, We know that considerable money
was missing which members of the family
had before they died.
Famous Poisoning Case Recalled.
If the present opinion of the authorities
is confirmed. the case Of Miss Toppan will
overshadow that of Mrs. Sarah Jane Rob-
inson of Somerville. now serving a life SEN
tence in prison at East Cambridge. MIS-
Robinson poisoned her son William fifteen
years ago. The doctor who attended the
youth recalled the death of a daughter Of
Mrs. Robinson few months before. Pro-
fessor Wood, as an expert in chemistry.
found death was due to arsenical poisoning.
Within five years Mrs. Robinson had
caused the death Of eight persons. including
her husband. a nephew and her landlord.
Mrs. Robinson was tried in 1857 for killing
her son. and the jury disagreed. She was
next tried for the murder OF her nephew
and convicted. Mrs Robinson profited
financially by the death of each victim. In
some cases she collected life insurance.

In my opinion the Maine Farmer will

over the dairy commission like hot
potato, for the Farmer won't care to
publish the last reply OF the PRESS to
the pleading Of the Farmer, for assistance
in pushing through that little scheme OF
the board of agriculture for another
office. to cost the farmers OF the state
probably about $40, 900 year to support
some political farmer who has got tired
OF making butter with his hands. and
who is planning In the future to do his
butter making with his mouth.
This whole Thing is only scheme TO
make the genuine butter workers or the
State pay tribute to somebody, ana the
actual farmers of the grange should not
have allowed themselves TO be used to
pull chsstnuts out OF the IRE for these
political farmers, and the thanks Of the
working farmers or the state ars due the
PRESS for refusing to lend ITSELF to any
such business.

THE NEED OF REST.
English Specialist Says Americana
Lack Power of Repose.


Professor Eustace III. Miles, formerly
lecturer at Cambridge university, Eng
land, and the head authority on athletics
In that institution, contributed to The
Saturday Evening Post leading article
on "Fallacies About Training" In this
course of II he writes:
"a serious evil In the modern training
system Is the constant tension of the
nerves and muscles. At Cambridge
used to watch my athletic pupils. and
none Of them seemed TO have acquired
the power Of repose. They were always
on the stretch. When the time came
near, for instance. for the university boat
race or the football match the tension
reached an extreme, and the men seemed
quite unable to be at their ease.
at is strange that while the trainers
perpetually teach their men to exercise
they never teach them to rest. The whole
of nature seems to work on the principle
of alterations; first work, then rest.
We see 1t in day and night, in breathing
out and breathing in. | need not give
other instances, many OF which can be
found in one OF Emerson's essays. What
/ wish to insist on here Is that while we
teach men to exert themselves and to
strive and to tie themselves up into knots
we seldom or never teach them to relax
themselves, to be at rest and to undo
their nerves and muscles.
at is Americans especially who need to
relax, to smooth themselves out and, for
example, to let their arms and hands
hang limp and heavy. II the business
man were to give up only three minutes
each day to standing with his knees bent
and with his arms and hands hanging
down quite loose and limp and with a
contented smile on his face and with his
mind as empty as possible, the difference
in his state Of feeling during the day
would be almost beyond belief"
The Portland daily press., 1901-01-08

The Rev. Percy Grant, rector OF the
Church of the Ascension In New York
who visited the Philippines with Bishop
Potter. gives it as his solemn opinion that
the United States will never restore per.
manent order in the philippines until
the friars ara expelled. President Schur-
man, OF the first Philippine Commission,
long ago asserted that the war was kept
up more by the belief on the part of the
FiIipin Is that the United States wouI1
stand by the friars as strongly as Spain
has stood by them than by anything else.
But the problem Of expellng the 7riars ia
one that no administration is likely to
tackle unless II is absolutely compelled
to. 1t would have too many consequences
In the United States.
