MRS. RATHBUN Hello FOR MURDER

Charged with Tty!aS - Poison Hart and.
With Killing Her Husband.
New Haven, Conn.-Coroner Mix In
his finding on the inquest into the
death of William Rathbun, the rail-
road brakeman, who died after drink
ing poisoned coffee on December q,
declares that the coffee contained
rough on rats put there by Mrs.
Rathbun. but intended for John F.
Hart, also a brakeman and a boardeT
for ten years in the Rathbun home.
According TO the Coroner's investiga-
ton, Mrs. Rathbun, who had been an
admirer of Hart for seven OF the ten
years he had been in their home, be
came jealous because three, months
ago he had transferred lis affections
TO a young woman.
The fiat declaration that Mrs. Rath-
bun performed the murderOus deed is
made in the following language:
"On December 20 Mrs. Rathbun pro
cured a box of rough on rats, and the
whole or part of said box of rough on
rats was placed by her in a quantity
of coffee which was to be taken by
said Hart in his dinner pail as his sup
ply for the following day"
The formal arrest Of Mrs. Rathbun
on the charge of being responsible for
the crime Immediately followed the
Coroner's decision.
Hart, too, must stand trial, because
of his all ged relations with Mrs.
Ratbbun

FAILURES IN THE YEAR 1900.



New York C~lty.-Fallures dur.
ing 1900, according TO reports to
r. G. Dun & Co. we're 1888 in num-
Der. and STA, 113, 236 in amount Of liza
bilities. against 9393 failures In 1899
with 1923. 1869 liabilities. OF this
aggregate fifty were banks and finan-
cial concerns. with S35,617,563 liabtli
ties, so that strictly commercial fail
ures numbered 10, IA, and were S13S..
495,673 in mount. AS there were only
1887 commercial failures in 1890, and
the Indebtedness amounted to $780,
S79,SS9, comparison with the preced-
Ing year is extremely ~unfavorable.
1t would be a mistake. however, to
consider the increase in failures In
1900 as evidence that the year was
one of unusual disaster In business, or
that the new century was beginning
with unsound conditions.
On the contrary, these figures appear
most encouraging when viewed In the
light of history. 1t must be remem-
bered that 1899 was pbenominally
free from failures, partially because
of general prosperity, but more on ac-
count of an upward movement Of
prices that brought big profits during
the ascent.
But, while 1899 made a wonderful
showing, the excessive imitation of
prices eliminated early in 1900, and
there followed the misfortunes at
tending an inevitable reaction and res
toration Of normal conditions.
Toward the latter part of 1900 fail
ures decreased materially. and condl-
lions prevailing at the close were most
satisfactory.

If you would be thoroughly up to
date in the dietetic fads You must
make your midday luncheon of either
bread and milk, crackers and milk, or
some one of the many prepared "health
foods" and milk. Milk is the ineyits-
BILE thing. What gees with it is a
side issue. This modest sort of meal
is now being served at all of the fash
ionable resorts. The reason for 1t
seems to be the belief among the
women that the milk s sthe best thing
in the world for the COMPLEXION AS
every woman goes In for a healthy
complexion, as a Necessity in these
days Of golf and riding to hounds and
automobiiing, those who do none Of
these things have taken to the milk
diet as a means to supply what Wig
orous exercise brings to her sisters.

fad. 1t certainly does no harm, even
If no direct good results from it.-New
