INQUEST ON MRS. BARTHoL1N.
Chicago Police Hope to Secure Evil
dence in Case.

CHICAGO, August 21.-The second deci-
sive step toward unraveling the tangle Of
mystery about the Bartholin Mitchell muir
der case was begun today by the police,
when the postponed inquest to determine
the cause of the death of Mrs. Bartholin
and the responsibility therefor was renewed
at the J0th street police station. A coro-
ner's jury was sworn in over a week ago,
and at that time viewed the dead body Of
the woman which was found wrapped IN
bed clothing and crammed into a hole in
the cement floor of the notorious deatc
house at 1910 Calumet avenue. The police
hope for more substantial results from this
inquest than came from the similar pro-
ceedings yesterday in the Minnie Mitchell
case. Although the result of the coroners s
jury verdict yesterday was the holding of
three men to the grand jury for completely
in the murder of the supposed Mitchell girl,
such grave doubts exist over the identity
of the body that was buried as Miss Mitch
ell that efforts were renewed today to have
the Mitchell family exhume the body for
further inspection.
Doubtful identity will be the burden of
the defense of Oscar Thompson. John
Claffey and Edward Counselman, who were
held yesterday to answer for the supposed
Mitchell crime. The first two already stand
accused as principal and accessory in the
murder of Mrs. Bartholin AS yet nothing
definite has been heard of the whereabouts
of VIM. J. Bartholin, who Is generally sus-
pected Of both crimes Much doubt exists,
however. as to whether Miss Mitchell is
dead.

Does Cheese Cause CancerP

From Lesl1eS weekly
OF all the ills that flesh is heir to there
Is none more justly dreaded than cancer, a
painful and lingering disease for which no
adequate remedy has yet been found. It
will be remembered that in an address be-
fore medical congress year or so ago
King Edward of England expressed the
hope that diligent effort would be made to
discover s. ne means of checking this
dreadful malady. Recent Investigations
point to the Conclusion that one of the
causes Of cancer is Improper food and drink
That cshcers tof the lips and mouth are
established BY the case Of General Grant
and others, and 1t has been intimated that
cancer microbes have been found in certain
vile smelling foreign cheeses, for which
some fashionable people profess to have a
great liking. So far as the malady is trace
able to causes like these the remedy to be
applied " simple M and easy. viz. to smoke
moderasety, ff at all, and to let all moldy
and decayed articles of food alone, no mat
ter If geurInets pretend to like them.

Fads are the charm of life. A fad may be
anything; some people make a fad of their
work. and better work would be done If

Of your work in working hours take up
something else. The trouble with great
many young men who go the way they
shouldn't go is that they have nothing
to occupy their minds. nothing in which
they are interested. When spare time comes
1t hangs heavily on their hands. The natu-
raj inclination Is to be sociable. and that
leads to taking a drink. That In turn leads
to more drinks. and by and by the crash
comes. II you are interested in something,
If you are fascinated with it. time will fiy
