MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Girl Chloroformed and Strangled in
San Francisco Home.

San Francisco Feb. lO.-The mystery
the murder of l6-years-old
Nora Muller. whose body was found on
bed in an unoccupied house on Suite!
street. remains uusolved. The result o.
the autopsy has made ii practically GER
tain that the girl was chloroformed and
then stranslcd. The girl disappeared four
weeks ago but the autopsy surgeon Is
positive that she was killed within the
last 10 DAYS.
Evidence that She was strangled is
found in the fact that there were abra
sions OH her neck and that Il blood
stained cord seven feet in length. with n
bow knot at one end. was found in the
room. TWO bloody handkerchiefs Wee
also found. An attempt had been mad" to
burn the handkerchiefs but they were
only partially destroyed.
There was nothing to indicate that the
girl and Bennett. who, under the name
of c. +. Hawkins. is believed to have
rented the house. lived there. The girl
bad answered an advertisement by Ben
nett for a nurse girl. The man secured
the key to tn" house on Jan. ).
4 dispatch from Muncic. Ind. says
that three months ago there disappeare'.
from that place a bar keeper who is III
legged To have taken away $4,000 belonging
to Mrs. Sarah Williams. The police OF
the country. it is stated. have been re
uuested to arrest him. His description
answers that Of Bennett or Hawkins, who
rented the Suffer- street residence. The
police. however. are without Il positive
clue to the supposed murdcrer's identity.
An aIibi has been established for NJ. A.
Serebrenk. whose card was found in the
purse of the dead girl 1t was ascertain
Cd that he sailed for China on the even
ing OF the tith of January. several hours

cord Prison.


,1aconia, n. H.. Feb. l0.-The last
leaf. the convicted murderer of Mrs.
Ida J. Folsom. was enacted here. today

suance of the law governing such cases.

state prison at Concord until the 18th
day of February. 1903. on which day,
between the hours of 10 A NJ. and :
Z. NJ. he should be hanged by the neck
until dead.
The sentence was pronounced after Il
discussion of certain phases of the case
with the prisoners attorneys had taken
place. and upon the dismissal OF the
court. GreenIeaf was taken to concord
by Sheriff Locke.
The convicted man showed no signs
Of physical weakness outside of a slight
pallor. probably caused by the loss OF
sleep He remained almost unnoveu
during the reading of the sentence ana
the only time he evinced any desire 10
speak was when the court asked IL ne
had ANYTHING to say to them. In a
firm and clear voice Greenleat repIieu.
Il am an innocent man; | am. his
attorney, Mr. Martin. told the court
that he contemplated no further steps,
other than the exceptions which he had
previously taken. and which he pro-
missed the court he would file in ~ Gays.

leaf held a short conversation with
friends. among them were two sisters.

YELLOW JOURNALISM
May Be Responsible for the Death Of
Miss Stone.

New York FEB. 10.-Rev. Henry OtS
Dwight of the American Mission at Con-
s;antinopIe. who is now in this city. has
received from missionary sources in Tui-
key letter giving a new phase of tn
causes which have delayed the surrender
Of Miss Stone. The letter SAYS:
Prospects of the release of Miss stone
are much lcsscned by the well meant nc
tivitv of newspaper correspondents. Inc
situation is extremely critical. 1t has
taken months to convince the captors ol
Miss Stone that the ransom money mas
reached its limit. Men chosen for the
delicate mission because of their ac-
u,laintance with Orientals have faced Sc
rious personal risk in the attempt TO
carry that mass of gold into the wild re-
ginn where the brigands can be met.
They have braVely stood between the
,nillstones knowing that after the money
has, been paid before the captives are re-
leased the whole enterprise may come to
grief through the untimcly zeal of those
in charge of soldiers and police in the
neigbborhood. Now. besides these diff
cultics they find newspaper correSpon-
dent, appearing on the ground with or
tjcrs TO be present when the money is paid
and the captivcs are released. The bri-
.andS simply will not risk the presence
Of any stranger.
The generous self-restraint OF The
newspaper interest is an absolute condi-
Gol of success in negotiations Wnere
complications quite unknown to strangers
ar, essential factors of the case.

GERMANY INSISTS
That She Stopped EngIand's Scheme

drop with the explanation cabled from
Washington. that nothing unfriendly to
the United States was meant thereby.
They say that the fact stands that
Great Britain did initiate a second pro-
posal for a European remonstrance.
The explanation that Pres. Mckinley
was a party to the Pauncefote purpose
and approved the British proposal be-
fore ii was made is wholly unaccepted
here. A parsonage in a position to
know the opinion of the German for
eign office said:
we are disinclined to discuss Lord
Pauncefote's motives. We simply nail
the fact that Lord Pauncefote took a
step unpleasant for the United States
and it was Germany's refusal to parti-
cipate that frustrated the same. More
over. documentary proof that Great
Britain took such n step exists in the
flies of European cabinets.

Or. Barbrick visits Augusta at reuu-
lar intervals for the purpose of per-
sonaily attending to the immense prac-
tise he has succeeded in building up in
this place during the years he has been
coming here, and IL you are sick or af-
fiicted you should consult him at his
Offices at the Hotel North ana avoid
the expense and loss Of time a visit TO
his Boston office would necessitate.
The following offer is made to all who
call on him during this visit. That no
fee will be charged or received for con-
sultation, examination, advice or SER
vices until the patient pronounces him
or herself cured. Or. Barbriek has
adopted this plan for two purposes.
First. to show the confidence he him.
self has in his methods Of treatment
and ability to cure. Second. to provo
that he can and does cure, even after
all others fail. The remarkable cures
he has made here have given him
reputation that can almost be vouched
for by your next door neighbor. but il
you still have doubts. the above offer
should dispel them. Skill is gained by
experience, confidence is born of sue
tied experience and his universal sue
cess has given him almost sublime con-
fIdence, as is evidenced by his wonder
full offer TO and his honorable dealings
with the sick public
He treats all diseases that affiict tho

mors, Cancers, FistuIa, Kidney Dis
eases, Fever Sores, Diarrhoea, Asthma.

all nervous Diseases. and all diseases
and weaknesses Of both sexes. The
rapidity with which he describes all
diseases is truly wonderful and aston
ishes all who may call upon him. and
he frankly tells all whether or not they
can be cured
His extensive, practical experience
enables him to determine almost at
glance whether case is durable.
whether it can only be benefited. O.
whether it is incurable. His methods
of specially studying each case and ap-
plying his remedies to meet each in
dividual requirement makes his mode
of treatment at once scientific in it's
application. quick in its action and
positive in its results.
II you are sick this is your opportu-
nifty to be cured. No matter what the
disease you are suffering from or how
long standing, you should call on
him. It will cost you nothing and you
may profit by it,
