ANOTHER HOLMES
Chicago Man Suspected of Murder
ing His Wives.


ing His Wives.
Ne.o York. Sun Special SerUice
Chicago, Jan. 10.-Will Louis Thoms, the
man charged with the murder of Carrie
Larson, prove to be another DR.. H. H.
Holmes This is the question that con-
fronts, the detectives who have been in
vestigating his past. That. he has had
at least three and perhaps four wives
they know. Two of these women are
dead. Developments lead the officers
to the conclusion that they were muir
dered. r-.. ...-.,.
The first woman to whom Thoms was
married was Jennie Heider, the daughter
of a farmer near Albany, N. Y. After
giving birth to three children of whom
the last one died, the mother died in Al
bany in 1889. The second wife was Mile
Ristau, whom Thomas married in Chi
cago six years ago, under the name of
Hopkins. Mrs. Hopkins lives here with
a 2-year-old child. The third wife is
Anna Burndt, who came to this country
from Germany but short time since.
Like Carrie Larson, Annie Burndt was
hired by Thoms. Last fall, after an
acquaintance of six months, she married
Thoms in Duluth, Mimi.

Under the laws of New Jersey there
has grown up one of the queerest freaks
in all the business world, known as
corporation agencies" or trust com
panies,'' and which probably have no
counterpart elsewhere. The State since
1896 has created $500 corporation with
the prospect of increasing the number by
thousands yearly, and one of these agen-
cies alone will maintain the principal
office of hundreds of corporations at
once and comply with every requirement
OIL the law. They are in effect enormous
bookkeeping concerns conducted on the
cooperative plan by host of corpora
tons Massive libraries. as it were, of
stock books may be seen there, in charge
of an army of scribes who register and
post the transfers of stock daily that a
correct record maye be available for the
inspection of stockholders.
Outside, at the entrance, is the stero-
typed legend, Principal Office Of" ETC.,
with a register of the companies repre-
sented. These names are necessarily in
small chara cters. but even then it not in
frequently hapens that the list threa tens
to require more space than there is facade
to the company's building. The con-
slant modification of these lists necessi-
tated by the creation Of new corporations
and the dissolution of old, has led to the
invention of an elastic sign. in which sep,
arated slabs with the names printed there
on may be inserted and removed at pleas

TEETH WORTH $500
POPPED LIKE CORN

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 26.-Dr. John
Ramsden has lost his best teeth. They
were valued at nearly $500. And he will
not get them back, because they are gone
beyond all recovery
Ramsden practices dentistry at 1873
frankfort avenue. He was working in
his laboratory yesterday afternoon, build
ing up a set Of false teeth. They were
for wealthy customer and he was using
the most valuable teeth in his collection.
Beautiful incisors Of ivory mounted in
plates Of gold and platinum lay on
series Of parline sheets on his table be-
side his alcohol lamp, when an inoppor-
tune boy with an aching tooth arrived
The doctor went out to attend him No
sooner had his back turned when light
wind threw a scrap of tissue. paper into
the flame of the lamp and then dropped
1t among the gems on the table. InstAn:-
ly the parafflne sheets blazed up and the
precious teeth with them.
Ramsden had just drawn the boys tooth.
when he heard racket in Tie rear room.
1t sounded as though som ebody were set
ting of q pack of frecrackers. When he
ran back to the laboratory the teeth
were popping like so much corn, and his
wife and sisters were shying pitchers OF
water at the confagration.
It was all out in a few moments, and
SO was the doctor-between 800 and $500,
he says, for nothing was left Of his best

Mr. Minor said that it would not affect

Any meat sliced or ground to paste.

prepared the day before. Boil the eggs

coddled in this way are more tender and

from which the gun was assembled
