Hints About Lamps.

Many housekeepers think that to
turn down lamp saves oil. In point
of fact, it does nothing of the kind.
The same amount is consumed, only
that which is not burned in fame
passes off as gas. You can notice
this 6. cree CT entering room where
a lamp has been turned low for any
length Of time. Besides The disagree
able odor, the gas is most injurious to
flowers or plants that may be near it.
If little light be required, small
lamp with small wick should be kept
turned up to its proper height.

The most remarkable feature of tho
old church, however, is the fact that
its lofty steeple serves the purpose of
lighthouse and is used to guide the
seafarer and mariner safely into the
port Of Charleston. The uso Of the
steeple as a lighthouse dates back to
1884, when the United States Light
house Department succeeded, by dint
Of repeated efforts, in inducing the
vestry Of the old church to allow a
lantern to be placed in the upper story
OF the steeple, to be used as range
light for vessels entering the harbor
through the jetties at it's mouth.
The light used is very powerful, and
is placed at an altitude of about 1875
feet above the ground, so that it is
easily visible thirty miles at sea.
Ships making for Charleston Harbor
at night always keep sharp lookout
for St. Phillips light, and as soon as
they sight it get it into line with the
beacon On Fort Sumter and then make
q straiehtway run for the mouth of
the jetties and up through them into
the harbor Of Charleston.
The light is attended by the old
sexton Of St. Phillips Church, T. J..
Riley, who has occupied the position
OF sexton for more than fifty years.
He has never failed in his duties, and
rain or shine, he mounts the high and
narrow winding staircase Of the old
steep!e every evening at sunset and
lights the beacon in its lofty perch.
His limbs are feeble now, for he is &C
years old, and the climb is long and
stiff one.
St. Philips Church steeple is con.
sidered one of the handsomest, archi.

HAD A MANIA FOR KILLING
JANE TOPPAN CONFESSES SHE
POISONED THIRTY.
So Expert in Her knowledge of Drugs
That She Escaped Detection
for Years.

Boston, June 24.-Suspected of the
murder of II persons, but indicted
for numbering only three, Miss Jane
Toppan, who was yesterday declared
insane, has confessed that she has
killed during her career as a profess
sional nurse no less than 81 human
beings.
This statement was made to Judge
Fred M. Bixby of Brocton, Mass,
senior counsel at the trial at Barnsta-
BILE yesterday, when Miss Tcppan was
found not guilty by reason of insanity
of the charge of numbering Mrs.
Gibbs. Judge Bixby said also that
Miss Toppan had admitted that she
had set fires and committed other
serious acts.
She said she could not help com
hitting the crimes. She argued,
moreover, that she was not insane.
She said she knew she was doing
wrong when she administered poison
to her victims, and she asked Judge
Bixby how, under such circumstances,
she could be of unsound mind.
Morphine was Miss Toppan's
agency for producing death. Many
of the victims were unsuspecting and
most intimate friends, others were
the patients of reputable physicians
who employed her on account of her
ability as a nurse. Miss Toppan was
SO expert in her knowledge Of drugs
that she was able to escape detection
for years. She did not enumerate
her many victims, though she did ad-
NIT the killing Of Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs.
Harry Gordon. eft Chicago, and Alden
P. Davis, all of whom died at Calu-
met last summer.
Miss Toppan was indicted last Sep.
TENDER for these three murders. the
state electing to try her on the Gibbs
count. Miss Toppan was taken to
the Taunton Insane hospital to be-
gin her life sentence.

CONDITION CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Announcement of Po-stponement Caused Great CONSERVATION
Throughout England-Late Bulletins from
Royal Bedside.

London, June 24.-The coronation
has been Indefinitely postponed be-
cause of the illness of King Edward.
Sir Francis Knollys, the kings pri-

official announcement at 12:46 p. M:
.'The king is suffering from perity-
phlitis. His condition on Saturday
was so satisfactory that it was hoped
that with care his majesty would be
able to go through the ceremonies.
On Monday evening a recrudescence
became manifest, rendering a surgi-
cal operation necessary today"

Many of the foreign representatives
including Special Ambassador White

ace this afternoon to inquire about the
kings condition.
The house of commons was crowd
ed today by members and others who
were anxious to hear the expected
statement of the government leader,
A. J. Balfour, on the subject of the
kings illness.
Operation a Success.
Mr.. Balfour said he had intense
qualification in saying that a success
full operation had been performed on
the king and that his majesty was
progressing as well as possible.
THAT announcement" proceeded
Mr.. Balfour, removes a great load off
our minds. My first inclination on
hearing the melancholy news this
morning was to suggest that the house
mark it's n of the disaster which
has befallen the whole community by
adjOurning. But on more careful re-
Election l have come to the conclu-
sion that such a course is ill-advised.
The anxiety we feel must be great
and that anxiety is necessarily aug
mented by the circumstances under
which the disaster has befallen the
royal family and the whole country.
I have come to the conclusion that
if the house was to take the excep-
tional course to which l have advert
ed, that which is now anxiety in the
public mind might become a panic
and a wholly exaggerated idea of the
present state of things might sgo
abroad.
"The status of things is %undoubted-
ly grave, but we ought not to use
stronger epithets in regard to it than
those l have used and l am convinc-
ed that if we were to consider the
kings condition to be such that it
would be improper to carry on the
business of the country we should
produce a wholly false impression.
In these circumstances, we do not pro-
pose to- suggest any exceptional
and I am only thankful to have
been able to inform the house that so
far as we know at present, everything
is going on as well as can possibly be
expected

Senator Platt is supporting Repre-.

nett arrived in that city Sunday and
yesterday, after playing several card
games in a saloon, made the astonish-
ing announcement that he was a fug-

some of the most prominent men in

says that when he tells the story be-
fore the proper court it will stir San

He has been supplied with money
to aid him in evading the officers of

the financial supplies ceased. He me-
titled the parties for whom he was
