A JEALOUS,
WOMAN
Attemps Murder Then
!. Takes Laudanum With
Suicidal Intent.

Jealousy prompted Ida Rowe,
alias Ccnnor, to attempt murder
this morning and then suicide.
Consequently Mrs. Charles Will
son. of No. 615 East Tenth street
is nursing q sore arm, where two
bullets struck her and tho other
woman is at the Delaware Hospi-
tai. whore she was taken after
drinking about Il ounces Of lau-
danum.
Shortly before 10 o'clock this
morning the people in the vicin-
ity Of Tenth and Pine heard two
pistol shots. Then the screams
Of woman were heard and neigh
bors ran to No. 615 East Tenth
street, where they found Mrs.
Wilson had been shot, and the
woman who shot her had drank a
bottle OF laudanum with suicidal
intent.
Word was sent to the police
station and the patrol wagon with
Sergeant Rice, Captain Kane and
Chief Black went to tho scens of
the shooting. DR.. Cook was sum
moned and while he attended TO
Mrs. Wilson's injuries, the other
young woman was taken to the
Delaware Hospital, where the
physicians had a difficult time
with her. AT 2 o'clock this after
noon she was resting easy.
Jealous rage is said to have
prompted her to commit the act.
She had been housekeeper for
Wilson up to about three months
ago, when lie married, and since
that time she has been insanely
jealous. Therefore, this morning
she went to the house and tried
to remove the object of her hatred
and then end her own life.

Practically the car has the power to
convert to his own uses any portion Of
the state revenues that suits his fancy.
But Russia has not in vain been called
an "autocracy tempered by assassina-
ton" If the little father assumed
too much, his assistants in the govern
ing business might get jealous and bat
ter his brains out, as they did with
Paul. or poison or stab him to death,
as they did with the various Peters,

Assuming that the Petersburg
Statesman's Year Book can be relied
upon, Nicholas takes Az cents annual

though he has nearly 107 100000 of
them, the official excuse maker figures
his income from the empire at s5.000,-
600 per annum only, while other
sources state it to be twice as much.
1t should be added, though that the
state places 100000 square miles Of

besides gold and silver mines yielding
fortune every day in the year.

Washington's Birthday.

Washington's Birthday was made
legal holiday by vote Of the Massa.
chusetts legislature April Is, 1856;
therefore February %, 1857, was first
legal holiday. For many years pre-.
yious Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis held
reception at her home on February
%, to which all the people of the city
of Boston were invited; her house was
open to the public on tina, day, and
before and after the day became a
legal holiday all the military COM
panies OF Boston would parade past
her house on the 22d. Probably the
first occasion of Washington's Birth.
day being recognized was February
II, 1851. That was by the French
troops at Newport, K. |. AS the 18th
fell on Sunday, the celebration was
held on the 18th. This was according
to the old style Of reckoning
