The charge against the defendant Is based on the theory that he and the woman agreed to die together, and that as a party to the suicide agree ment he was responsible for her both as accessory before and after the fact.
 The evidence of the suicide agreement is a note left by the woman and state ments alleged to have been made to the police and others by the defendant short

She intends to remain several weeks In Turkey and will then proceed to the United States to visit her mother. After the failure of the negotiations at Sofia the ladies were taken to huts deep in the snow on an almost inaccessible mountain. They were only occasionally vouchsafed some item of information, such for instance as the death of Presi- dent Mckinley.
 The baby was born after Mime. Tsilka had been riding horseback for ten hours. The mother smothered the child's cries for fear the brigands would take it away and kill it. Three days after the birth of the baby all were again on the move. Mime. Tsilka's training as a hospital nurse and her extraordinary nerve alone saved her life and that of her child.

There was no post mortem examination of the woman by the coroner's physician, the autopsy having been omitted because there seemed to be no question at the time as to the cause Of death. Mrs. Nichol left note in which she said she died because sY1e loved Bur nett better than anything else on earth, and that they could not pear to De sepa- rated.

Cancellation Minis AGAIN.

Cancellation has won another i'm
portant victory in the shape of ma
terial increase in wages for all switch
men in the Chicago yards. While at
one time strike was a possibility, the
danger of one was at no time very
great, as every one conversant with
the history of the railroad brother
hoods know they act very conserva-
lively.
1t is to the credit of the railroad
men that they act conservatively, for
a strike on railroad always affects
outside parties more than it does the
actual participants, and for that rea-
son the labor unions owe it to the
public to resort to a strike only after
every honorable method to settle ami
cably has failed. The strike of the
freight handlers last summer was an
apt illustration Of what Inconvenience
may be inflicted on the business and
manufacturing interests of great city
through hasty and ill-advised strike.
