Two Cinnamon, neither OF whom
could speak English, and clad in the
garments of white men, several sizes
too large for them, were found con-
cealed in one of the rooms and were
promptly escorted to the city hall and
placed in the bridal chamber.
Search was then made through eel
lars, attics and underground passages.
Mr. Gage had taken a station at
the south doorway and saw two Celes-
tials peeping over the fence to ascer-

| were quickly waved back, however,
by Chinaman stationed in the street,
and disappeared. Mr.. Gage saw them
and soon Mr. Hampton was on the
trail. He jumped the fence and found
one of the men in a small outhouse

WOMAN SAT- IN FRONT OF MIR
RoR TO SUICIDE.
SENT BULLET TO HEART
Made Will Disposing Of Her Property
Before She Took Her
Own Life.

Ames Van 'Weik shot and killed her
self in the Hotel Washington in Jeg-
sey City today. She was 81 years
OF age, blonde and good looking.
She arrived in Jersey City on Friday
over the Pennsylvania railroad and
went to the Hotel Washington.
She seemed in good spirits and was
we'll supplied with money, and numer-
GUS packages arrived at the desk from
New York stores flor her. She was
last seen alive Saturday evening by
one of the maids of the hotel.
Edward Chase, son of the proprietor,
today noticed water coming through
the ceiling from an upstairs room.
He forced his way into Mrs. Van
Weik's room and found the faucet
of basin open and the water over
flowing. Mrs. Weik was sitting in a
rocking chair facing mirror. She
was dead.
Mrs. Van Weik wore a dressing
gown, which was open at the throat.
Apparently, while sitting in front of
the mirror she had placed revolver
against her breast over the heart and
outside her undergarments and fired.
The revolver, containing four loaded
shells and one empty shell, was found
beside her.
Several bundles of letters were
found, addressed to Mrs. L. e. Wolf
bauer, care of Mrs. Pease, 1880 Nc
Cullough street, Baltimore, and to
Mrs. Edward w. Wolfbauer, 1.017 Fiji
teenth street, Northwest, Washington,
.. c. All these were signed by Ed
ward w. Wolfbauer, and addressed
the recipient as his wife. The most
recently dated was in 1901, and most
OF the letters were written from vari-
Gus places in Cuba From the sigma
lures of these letters and the sigma
ture to the woman's will, which was
found among the letters, it is suppos-
ed that Mr.. Wolfbauer died and that
she remarked, her second husband be-
ing named Van WeiK.
The will was dated Sioux Falls, S.
D.. March 2, 1908. This document
leaves all the wardrobe of the testa-
trix to Mrs Henry Garland, Washing
ton, D. c., no address being given. To
the daughter of the testratrix are left
the houses and lots at 1853 and 1856
Seventh street, Northwest, Washing
ton, D. G.. In case of death of the
daughter before the provisions of the
will are carried out, all the share of
is to go to William ]. Hess of Wash
ington, D. G. An insurance policy on
the life of the testatriX made out in
favor of Otto B. Van Weik for 81, 800,
is willed to the daughter. of whom the
American Surety company of Wash.
ington, d. c., is named as guardian
Mr.. Royston and Mr.. Townsend, the
men to whom registered packages
were mailed, are named as executors
OF the will.
| Superintendent Sylvester of the
Washington police was telegraphed
to. He replied that he could not find
| any relative of the dead woman in
| Washington. She was known there
he said and SO far as he knew Mr.
| Wolfbauer was still alive. Something
over a year ago Mrs. Wolfbauer left
| Washington for South Dakota, and
more recently obtained divorce
there. OF her subsequent marriage
III there was one, the Washington
chief was ignorant.

STRIKE IN NETHERLANDS
RAILWAY MEN AND OTHERS
WALK OUT.
Unless Demands Are Aceeded to the

strike of the railroad men was pro-
claimed here this morning. The rail-
road stations are guarded. The gov
ernment is endeavoring to maintain
| the foreign mail service by troop-pro-
tected trains. The service on the
Netherlands railroad is restricted.
Queen Wilhelmina, who is at Castle
| Loo, has signified her intention to
return to The Hague if affairs of state
| arising from the strike situation re-
quire her presence here. The govern
ment hopes the precautionary meas
ures taken will suffice.
The government is comforting with
the committees of defense concerning
the demands of the strikers. If the
government refuses their demands,
the men intend to extend the strike
to foreign railways and labor organi-
zations with which their union is
Connected.
Amsterdam, April mime hundred
out OF 1.5OO men in the workshops OF
the railroads here have struck. The
diamond cutters have decided to
strike in sympathy with the railroad
men. A number CT gendarmes charg-

sabre
Few trains arrived or left this city

remain under military guard during

however, after II o'clock.
Rotterdam, April THE dock Ia
borers, wagon drivers and all others
engaged in industries Connected with
the port have joined in general
sued by the strike leaders here to the
| effect that the strike was not connect
ed with the question of wages, but
was solely against the proposed anti
strike laws. The withdrawal OF these
laws is demanded. The railroad sta
ton is guarded by marines, and
sufficient number of employees have re-
manned at work to enable the running
of few trains today between Rot
terdam and Amsterdam
Steamers in the regular service left
this port as usual today, but the work

One thousand troops from the south

Under the Umhrella.

Irving and Marjorie had Quarreled.
1t had been about very little thing,
not worth repeating. But the quarrel
oh, that was big enough for two or
three, for 1t had lasted four whole
days! 1t seemed to bad that 1t should
have come just at this time-only the
week before Marjorie's party! Irving
felt choked when he thought Of Mar
jorie's party, and he wondered how
mamma would look when she knew
he was not going. OF course he could
not go to the party of girl to whom
he would not speak. And he had told
Marjorie that he should not speak to
her for thousand years! And Mar
jorie had said that she did not care.
Irving thought of this with tiny
sigh, for they had been such friends.
He knew that Lyndon and jamie and
Rob and Rupert were all going to Mar
jorie's party, and what would people
think to have him stay away?
Irving was thinking all this as he
was on his way to the other end Of the
village, to do an errand for mamma.
He trudged along, with the big UNI
brella that mamma had hidden him
take, because she said 1t looked like
shower, and he was thinking so hard
that the first he knew he felt a big
drop of rain on his hand. There was
another on his nose, and the next min
ute it was raining fast. He put up his
umbrella, and just at that minute
whom should he spy, coming toward
him, but Marjorie herself. She had
not any umbrella, and she was trying
to cover her doll with her dress, 80 as
not to get it wet. AS they came near
er, Irving held the umbrella 80 1t just
hid Marjorie's face. He was not going
to look at her, he told himself. And
he did not, as they passed; but the
next instant he turned round, and
queerly enough-the little girl turned
too. Irving hurried on, his face very
red; but he went only a few steps.
Then he stopped short. 1t was raining
faster, and Marjorie would get so wet!
Perhaps she would take cold and be
sick. He looked back. She was run.
| ming now
'Marjorie!' he called.
She did not hear.
'Marjoriew This time 1t was a big
shout.
She turned, and saw him speeding
toward her, the umbrella bobbing wild
ly about.
"Wait," he called. "You will get
awful wetv'
She smiled into his face as he came
up.
How 1t rainsw she said.
There was an old board seat by tn,
side Of the road, and they sat dow
on 1t. He held the umbrella in boil
hands, that the wind might not blow
1t, and Marjorie laughed contentedly.
I'm going to have Ice cream chick
ems at my party" she confided.

Teatlnr for p.lant FOOD.

One OF the simplest methods Of as
certaining what plant food II needed in
a soil IL to test the soil with q grow
Ing plant. If the soil Is deficient In
nitrogen the leaves Of grasses and GER
cal grains will be either blush or vel.
lowish, the latter in the case Of the
grain, while deep, vivid green indi-
Gates a good supply Of nitrogen In the
soil. Any soil in which rape, cab
bages and other members Of the turnip
family thrive indicates that such soil
has good supply of phosphoric acid.
Where potash In the soil il abundant
the leaves Of the growing plants have
a yellowish green cast, while IL potash
ls deficient the shade Of green Is OF
blush color. Naturally 1t requires a
practiced and observant eye to deter
mine accurately these things, but the
plan is correct and worth following.
The indication of sorrel in meadow
seeded to mixtures such as redtop,
timothy and clovers, is pretty good
indication that the soil needs lime.
However, the Htmus paper test for
acid soil Is the quickest and Is thor

And carry a gold-headed cane.
I'll not wear a necktie; it takes 30 much

And play on the street till it's dark.

I'll hitch on the ice wagons all that l
please,
With no one to make me get of.
I won't be polite to a nurse or girl,
And my hat never will dofE.
And never, oh, never, will I go to bed
Before it's at least half past eight!
All, jolly good time I'll have when a

va1ue of Dry Earth.

1t is well known that fine, dry dirt
is one of the best absorbents and dis
infectants known. 1t Is also plentiful
and costs nothing but the labor Of
handling. It makes excellent bedding
If covered over with a few inches Of
straw, and it really keeps the cows
clean, even when used In the stalls
without straw, as it is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. A stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out in much shorter time, and, as it
absorbs the liquids and gases, quite a
saving is effected In that manner. Its
use goes beyond the stall. AS the
stable should be cleaned daily, quite a
krge quantity of dry earth will be
used in the course of year, and will
necessarily be added to the manure
heap. Although it adds nothing to the
heap itself, yet its presence therein
will double the value Of the manure
by preventing loss of fertilizing ma
terial. 1t Is better absorbent than
straw or cornstalks, and Is easily han
