DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Detroit, March Anthony Perry.
aged 30, Saturday night shot and killed
Mrs. Sarah A. Thillman. aged -, at her
home on Franklin street, and then
committed suicide by shooting him
self Both diA almost instantly. The
cause of the shooting was jealousy.
Mrs. Thillman was widow Of few
months, and owned a saloon, which
had been left her by her husband.
Perry had been friend of her hus-
band. and Mrs. Thillman had placed
him in charge Of the saloon. He be-
came very much attached tn Mrs. Thill-
man and also jealous of her. About a
month ago he threatened to shoot her
because he thought she was receiving
attentions from other men. She dis
charged him and had him arrested.
Saturday night he went 10 her place
IF business. which was also her home.
and fulfilled his threat Mrs. Thill-
man was woman of good reputation
among her neighbors. Perry was for
merly a longShoreman.

BURNING THE CANDLE At BOTH ENDS
That expressive saying not only sug-
gests the most rapid form of waste but
also the most foolish. When a woman
overtaxes her strength in any cause,
whether in the enjoyment of social
pleasures, or i'll the service of church or
charity, she is rapidly fastening TO the
end of her public activity.
The proof of this is found right at
home. Young matrons who are not
dancing any more. church workers who
are no more active these have not step
ped aside because of loss of interest but
because of lack Of strength.
