Electricity o Pages.

The practice Of clapping the hands
to summon a page in the house of
representatives in Washington has
passed away. Electric annunciators
are now in use. There is one at the
back of the Republican side and an

When a member pushes a button a
small red disk appears in the annun-
ciator, bearing a number which shows
where the page is wanted.-Boston

She Is the Young Woman who WINS
the Victim of q yitriol-Throw-
ing Assault.

DR.. Aimee Haskinson, the young woman
who was the victim Of a deadly assault at
the hands of a vitriol thrower in this city
a few years ago. has become the wife Of
w. D. Owen, former secretary of state
and congressman from the Eleventh dis
trict. A dispatch from Logansport says
that Miss Haskinson and Mr.. Owen were
married at Boliver, Pa, on July T.
A year or two after the assault Miss
Haskinson left this city and went to Mex
leo. AS a result Of the awful shock to her
nerves. incident to the assault. her health
was much impaired and she went TO Mex
leo in the hope Of recovering her strength.
1t is said she was the first woman TO prac-
tice medicine in Mexico. For several years
she made her home in Mexico City and
practiced in the American colony. In ad-
dition 10 this il is said she gave much time
to work among the poor. Mr.. Owen is at
the head of a Mexican plantation. and ne
met Miss Haskinson on one of his trips to
the plantation.
While in indianapolis Miss Haskinson
lived at the corner of New York and Penn
sylvania streets. 1t was then she was as
saulted one night by an unknown woman.
Under the pretense of procuring medical
treatment the woman got an audience with
the physician and without warning dashed
the contents of a jar of vitriol on her.
With great presence of mind Miss Haskin-
son ran to a bow in which there was water
and applied ii TO her eyes. This probably
saved her sight. However. her neck and
arms were badly burned. Her face was
not disfgured. Two women were accused
of the crime, Mrs. Maud Goodin and Mrs.
Lulu Kline. Mrs. Goodin was tried twice,
hnf the 1nrV failed TO agree each time.
Finally the indictment against her was
nollied. Mrs. Kline pleaded guilty, claim
ing that she threw the vitriol at the insti-
CATION Of Mrs. Goodin. who, IL was claimed.
was jealous of Miss Haskinson. The latter
was popular with those who knew her. and
it was said she belonged TO a very good
family. She came to Indianapolis from
the East. When she left here she was a
young woman of pleasing appearance. and
was said TO be very clever in her profes-
sion. 1t is announced that Mr.. and Mrs.
Owen will make Logansport their home
after September. They will spend the
honeymoon in the White mountains.
