SHE DIED INSANE.
Official Record Of Autopsy Held on Body of
Mary Ann Barry.

Official Record Of Autopsy Held on Body of
Mary Ann Barry.
The official records OF the state asylum
for the insane at Jamestown in the case
OF Mary Ann Barry Of, Milton, Cavalier
county. show that she was admitted
to the asylum January 6, 1901. She
wss accompanied by her brother, Thos.
Barry of Osnabrook. She was one OF
twelve children and had one brother
and two aunts insane. She had been
treated in an asylum in London, Ont.
for; insanity. She had for a number
of years been housekeeper for her
brother William at Milton. When
received at the asylum, Miss Barry
had three fingers on her right hand
and two on her left frozen. Her core
were considerably, and feet slightly
affected by the cold, as q result Of her
running away from home and spend
ing considerable time out on the
night of the murder. Her hands be-
came better shortly after her arrival
at the asylum. During her stay in
the asylum she was in state of agi-
tated melancholia, with occasional
violent periods, during ono of which
she attempted to choke her nurse, and
during another attempted to strike
another patient. At other times she
was quite manageable. She suffered
from sleeplessness and at times re-
fused to take any food voluntarily,
having to be given liquid food by means
Of tube to her stomach. Feb. 3, 1901,
she developed high temperature and
rapid pulse, but resisted all attempts to
examine the organs OF her chest, making
it very dittiult to make satisfactory
diagnosis Of her condition. During the
night some improvement, as far as tenn
perature and pulse were concerned, was
noticed and the patient drank two
glasses Of milk voluntarily. The next
morning the patient was somewhat
excited, talking so loudly as to be heard
some distance from the room in which
che was in bed. At about 7:3O the nurse
noticed that the talking had ceased and
on stepping into the room, from which
she had been absent a few minutes,
found that Miss Barry had expired.
At the autopsy held subsequently
|physicsl conditions were found to sub.
stantiste the statements upon which
her brother, William. based hia belief
OF her having been wronged by Andwew
Mellon. Heart clote, which probably
accounted for her sudden death, and
acute pleurisy had been in existence,
probably from the. beginning Of acute
Temperature.
In the trial of William Barry at
Lsngdon, for the murder Of Mellem, no
testimony in regard to the condition of
his sister was introduced, although il
might have helped Barry's defense some.
This was done, it is supposed. on the
advice Of his attorneys.

Washington, March 4.-Carrying

department when it changed it's mill.

orders to General Chaffee to still
further reduce his force. The general
now has under his command about

some time ago determined upon a
further reduction of the American

Considerable discretion was left to
General Chaffee in the selection Of
the troops to remain, and it is as.
sumed at the department that the
Peking dispatches announcing that
these consist of two companies of the
Ninth infantry under Major Robert.
son is correct. If the other powers
represented at Peking can be induced
to follow this policy it is hoped that
long step will have been effected
toward the restoration Of normal con.
ditions at Peking.
1t is said at the war department that
the arrangements have not yet been
made for bringing away the troops
from Peking, and 1t is believed that
this cannot be done before the ice

near Colesberg bridge. where the
Orange river widens and the current

London, March 4.-General Dewet
lost heavily in men and stores by his
incursion into i >o Colony, but he
seems to have q e clever escape
with the bulk Of his commando. Ap.
parently Commanlant Hertzog crossed
the Orange river with him.
General Hamilton. who was pursu-
ing, heard that General Dewet was
surrounded at Philipstown, north of
Colesberg. On arriving there he
found the Beers had not been at Phil
ipstown at all, but had doubled back
and were struggling across the river
at Colesberg. Apparently this is an
other instance of defective intelli-
gence regarding the doings of the
Beers.
The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch
from Colesberg which says: "Our
numerous columns are still hunting
for Dewet. This place Is in hubbub
and the troops are marching off in
various directions to press the pur-
suit further"

Why Bees Work In Darkne..

Bees so out all day gathering honey
and work at night in the hive, building
their combs as perfectly as If an elec-
trio light shone there all the time.
Why do they prefer to work in the
dark? is often asked. Every one knows
that honey is liquid with no solid
sugar in it. After standing it gradual
py assumes crystalline appearance
or granulates and ultimately becomes
solid mass.
Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well corked TASKS, some Of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystallized,
while that kept in the dark remained
unchanged.
Hence we see why the bees are so
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed in their hives. The
existence Of the young depends on the
liquidity of the saccharine food pre-.
sented to them, and If light were allow
ed access to this it would in all prob
ability prove fatal to the inmates of
the hive.-Weekly Bouquet.

(Benson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsr.l

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness Of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than ecer. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney Complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt of Csc. each.

KILLED BY CARTER.

Montana Senator Talks the River and
Harbor Bill to Death.
Washington, March 5.-One of the
most notable occurrences in the his.
tory of congressional legislation
marked the closing hours of the last
session of the senate of the Fifty-sixth
congress. Senator Carter of Montana
signalized his retirement from the
senate after six years of brilliant
service by talking the river and har-
Dor bill to death. He occupied the
floor, constructively, for nearly 13
consecutive hours, although in the
aggregate about three hours of that
time were devoted to other business.
