Jury Holds Her for Capital Crime.

Bessie Fisher was he'd for the murder
of big" Eva Smith by coroner's jury
which inquired into the woman's death
yesterday afternoon. The Fisher woman
| shot big" Eva in the Owl rooming house
early Sunday morning.
| For the first time since her arrest Bes-
sic Fisher showed signs Of breaking down
and when the pistol was placed in evil
dence she wept. The woman was not
placed on the stand by her attorney, B.
S. Thresher, and it was evident from the
crOss-examination of the witness by
counsel for the defendant that the self

Chick Malone the man in the case, and
who was the only known eye witness tes-
titled that Eva threatened to "break Bes-
sic in two," and made threatening move
toward her."
Malone told how he had taken $40 of
Bessies money Sunday morning and
said he intended getting her dress out of
pawn Monday. When Bessie knocked on
the door the witness said, I got up from
the bed to get the $40 out of my pocket
to give her, but Eva reached the door
ahead of me and some words passed be-
tween the women. Eva asked Bessie il

MUSICAL DOVES.

One of the first things that surprises
foreigner in visiting Picking is the
strange sound that seems to emanate
from the celebrated musical doves of
that city. Overhead on all sides are
great floclls of these birds, and ever as
they sweep to and fro the weird music
is heard. Compared with the paintive
coo of ordinary pigeons it seems mys-
FERROUS, and yet it is easily explained.
To the tail of each bird is fastened an
instrument known as the choa the, choa
signifying pipe, and the, mechanical The
instrument is composed of several small
reeds, and it is so light that the bird s
flight is not impeded thereby. 1t is fas
tened to the tail, between the two mid
die feathers, which passes through the
instrument. During the birds rapid
fight the air passes through the reeds,
causing continuous shrill sounds. 1t is
said that these instruments We're in
vented by a mandarin and that the OBJ
jeot is to protect the doves. which are
highly priced everywhere in China, from
birds of prey. If this he true. the object
has certainly been attained. since only
a bird of great coura ge would venture
to attack dove capable of making such
a noise.

FINNISH woMAN's ASSOCIATION

The world at large is not apt to think
OF Finland as land Of progressive ideas
and up to date women, yet it has had
since 1884 society for the promotion of
woman's rights that compares favorably
with similar societies in more favored
communities. The Finnish Woman's AS
ISOLATION has its Headquarters in Helsing-
fors, the capital and has twenty branches
in the country districts. These associa-
tons start schools and classes for gar
dening, cooking. needlework, elementary
science and other useful and interesting
branches. There they discuss. in for
NAL fashion, a variety of topics. from
household matters to advanced education
in the public schools. and often have suf-
ficient influence to have their views pre-
scented to the diet by the representatives.
The central association frequently sends
to the country districts lecturers on sub
jeects Of Importance or interest. The
lectures are attended by as many men
as women, and the men often take an ac-
tive part in the discussions. The lecturer
is obliged, frequently to travel many
miles on sledges through deep sonw, in
snowstorms and in cold. or to be rowed
long distances in little boats on the
stormy lakes, or to walk miles on dusty
summer roads on her way to lonely vii
lagos. Her Accommodations are usually Of
the most primitive character, and her au-
diences likewise, but her welcome is sure
to be cordial. and people travel many
weary miles to hear her.

Mrs. Wilkes strange to say. does not

as to prefer the Macreadys, McCau-

to the Drews and Mansfields of the pres
ent.
THE modern stage accomplishes much

accomplish by good acting" she says.
1T was the power developed in over
coming obstacles that made men and
women in the times of Booth and For
rest the masters we look for in vain
among their successors. 1t wasn't beau

Mrs. Wilkes follows this remark by
one that will arouse the ire of many
actresses of today.

alter in her old age and has had no op-
Poftuhty to gaze upon the curvilinear

alleged, We're due to his ambition to open
a larger shop than the one he had been
conducting in Columbus avenue, near
Ninety-seventh street.
Mrs. Folerou says only about $50 of
her little fortune remained, and that

his shop was damaged by fire.

On his western tour President Mckin-
ley will need all of the rugged strength
and good health that has made him what
he is, in order to survive the handshaking
ordeal that will await him at every stop.
1t will be one of the greatest handshaking
tours ever made. Mr.. Bryans historic
campaigns of 1896 and 1900 covered much
ground and as their especial object was
to meet the people, handshaking was re-
duced to fine art in them. The Ne
braska statesman, however, has been
more or less open to the charge Of offer
ing a good hand shake as a bribe for a
vote. Roosevelt, in his journeyings last
fall, might have been open to the same
suspicion. But nothing of the kind is
laid at the door Of the present tourist.

There is no Office ahead of Mckinley;

can do for him in the way of further hon.

feeling, as friend meets friend, and it is
with genuine pleasure rather than the
idolatrous worship or the gaping curios-

Handshaking, by the way, is reduced to
fine art by the public men who have
occasion to practice this method of
greeting. The average countryman who
has his first Introduction to a president
feels it incumbent on him to show his
muscle, and squeeze the hand of his idol
