DAMAGE BY COLD SNAP.

Fruit Trees and Crops Bisghted to Some
 Extent in New York.
 Albany, N. Y, April 5.--The thermom- eter here at daylight this morning reg istered 24 degrees above zero and ice formed on still water during the night. It is not believed that any very serious damage was done to fruit trees because the buds are still small, but plants suf- fered severely.
 Schenectady, N. T., April 5.--Reports from farmers indicate that the cold snap has damaged fruit trees and crops to some extent In this locality.
 Troy. N. T., April 1.-The snow and freezing emperature during the past two days caused considerable damage to vegetation. The damage which will be considerable cannot properly be es- tfmated as yet. The hills about Troy are still white in places with snow.
 Buffalo, April 5.~~The low temperature and heavy frosts during the last forty eight hours have caused the fruit grow CTS of western New York some appre- hension. Vegetation got an early start and was developed rapidly by fine warm weather during March. The severe weather came just as the trees were bursting into leaf. It will be week or ten days before the extent of the damage, if there has been any, will be known. Experts say however, that fruit trees were not far enough ad- vanced to suffer from the effects of the frost.
 Binghamton, N. Y.,April 5.--The cold wave did some damage to those fruit trees in this section on which the buds were most advanced. It will be irnpos- sible to tell until later how extensive this damage was Some cherry trees were in blossom and their chances for fruit t1is season were ruined. The temperature dropped to 21 fall of B degrees in twenty-four hours. Elmira, N. Y. April 5.-The drop of 43 degrees in the temperature in this section Saturday will not, it is believed, 1 have a very bad effect on fruit and other crops with the possible exception of apples, which had just begun to blossom, and will therefore be unfavor- ably affected by the cold snap.

 AT THE HYPERION THIS EVENING The new play that Mrs. Langtry will produce at the Hyperion tonight was written for her by Paul Hester. Its title is "Mademoiselle Mars and its heroine is the great French actress who was one of the glories of the Comedie Francaise. Mademoiselle Mars, who died in 1S47, at the great age of eighty-nine years, was long a distin- guished member of the Comedie Fran caise. Her first success was in the character of ahe deaf and dumb girl in ''L'Abbe de L'Eppe" in 1903. When in her seventy-second year she took her farewell of the stage, the parts she selected were the Marcioness in Les Fausses Condolences, Ceiimeme in ''Le Misanthrope,' a character for which it will be seen she was cast at that period of her career which Paul Hester has dealt with chiefly in his four-act play. Let it be said at once that the author of "Mademoiselle Mars has resented the slur cast by runlor on the lady's virtue. Under his treatment she has become merry and wise, but her con- duct is always strictly correct. Our first introduction to her is in the pretty garden of the Duchesse D'Aumont's chateau at Marseilles. She is a guest passing under an assumed name and taking an evident interest in the for tunes of the Du D'Aumont, the Duch- ess' son, who is being looked for eag- erly by Fouche, who is very busy hunt ing down royalists.

STUDY OF A NOTED WOMAN
 WHO WRITES HEART POEMS

By Lillian Hutton in the Kansas City
 World.
 4 little womanly woman, with beautiful yellow hair curling in soft waves away from her face with the skin of a girl of 16 pink and white and tawny eyes that flashed and spoke. when their owner was silent, sat in a low chair in one of the parlors of the Coates house this morning, | and not only let herself be lnterviewd but interviewed the World reporter, who was bent on seeing her.
 This woman was Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. the 'poet of passion" the writer of those burning words and sizzling phrases, which make the simple minded readers open their eyes In holy horror at their audacity
 Mrs, Wilcox is most approaohable wo- man. and an extremely interesting talker.
 When seen this morning she had just finished her breakfast and was resting In her room.
 She was beautifully dressed, not in shimmering moonlight. and gold ring, with which she clothed one of the early Nt0dNlOHS Ol neI put III d dainty room gown of white silk muslin. with ruffles and ruffles of chiffon on it and bands Of pansles, embroidered in love- ly tints of purple, outlining the bodice and neck. Flowing sleeves, wide and loose, fell away from her arms. when she threw them back over her head-a very favorite pose of hers by the way. Around her neck she wore a chain of fine gold links. every inch or so being studded with a large topaz.
 Mrs. Wilcox also wore a large thumb ring of topaz, because as she naiyely said, '1t would not fit any of her fingers and she wanted to wear 1t because she was superstitious enough to believe that the more she wore of her birth stones the more luck she would have"
 Mrs. Wilcox Is certainly most charm ing woman. A look Into her bright eyes gives one the impression that they hide unfathomable thoughts and that 1t Is only that she must submit to some extent to the laws of conventionality, that she would like to startle the world with by putting Into black and white
 The reporter was dying to ask the poet by the way she abhors the word poetess, says that 1t sounds weak and that, any way, there is no sex in art-some heart to heart questions as to whether she really felt all that she wrote about, or just thought 1t. The question was certainly a rather delicate one, for her seething

PREACHER AND A
 DEPUTY ARE KILLED
MALONE REPRESENTED "sANcTl- FEED PEOPLE" FoRsAkEs HIS WEE TO LIVE WITH ANOTHER WoMAN-cAUsEs TRAGEDY.

Caruthersville Mo-. May SD. M. Ma lone, a preacher for sect known as "sanctlfed ople," and Constable ". J. Mooneyhon, were shot and killed by a mob last night at Wardell west of this place.
 Malone had been Nprosely ytizing in this county for several months and consider able feeling had been aroused against him. A woman named Mrs. Frill, having left her husband, caused much agitation recently by living with Malone. who left his own wife.
 Mrs Alice Malone, the preachers wife, objected vigorously and Malone declared her insane and caused her to be detained in jail pending an inquiry This action aroused the citizens to a frenzy and a warrant was issued against Malone and Mrs Frill on the charge of unlawfully living together. Constable Mooneyhon last night arrested both and because of the 1ateness of the hour decided to take them to his home for the night. Shortly after midnight there was knock at tho front door and Mooneyhon opened the door He was shot dead In the doorway.
 A mob rushed into the house and, seiz- Ing Mafone, dragged nm into the dark ness. Mrs. Frill frantically begged that no harm be done to him, but she was roughly pushed into the house and the mob departed.
 Malone was taken to a wood some dis- tance away and shot to death.
 The mob then dispersed.
 No harm was offered to Mrs. Frill or to Mrs. Mooneyhon.
 Intense excitement has resulted from the tragedy. Sheriff J. A. Franklin says he has several clues to members of the mob, but whether he will be able to make arrests. venfwith posse is prob lematical.
 It is not explained why the constable was shot by the mob, but it is believed he was either mistaken for Malone. or the mob was angered because the constable took the couple to his home after arrest ing them.

thoughts imply a broadness of mind that is hardly supposed to be the proper theme for a morning conversation, but lew tentative words, more hlnted at thah spoken, induced the fair writer 10 assert that her poems were literally herself, written just as che felt, the children or her thoughts, and they came teeming from her brain without effort.
 Mrs. Wilcox is about to publish new book which, she says, is the very pest thing she has done. It Is called Poems or Power" and one of them, Three Wo- men, is written in her very best and most characteristic style.
 Among the many interesting things which Mrs Wilcox talked about was that , she intended in the near future to found school for reporters She said that while she really loved them all and thought they were lawfully good fellows" she felt that she must say that they were lamentably crude and that if she were following that line of business she would start out with a list of questions and just fill them in, as if she were a tax assessor She added that in the many years-she did not state how many-she had been having chats with them, that she only had met two that knew what they want ed. The one to whom she said this was not one of the two.
 Mrs. Wilcox spends six months or the year in New York city and six months at the Bungalow" her picturesque summer home in Connecticut.
 While there she swims, runs, walks, plays like child released from school. does everything, in fact, but hunt, and with an expressive little shudder said. T can't bear to kill anything-but fieas and mosquitoes-and I wouldn't touch them. but they bother my cats and adore my cats.'
 She has number of very fine specimens of Angoras of which she Is very proud
 Mrs. Wilcox Is a firm believer in eternal youth. She won't let herself grow old in looks. She says regretfully she can't help the years from piling up, but she takes the most excellent care of herself her complexion and her figure. But above all this, looks to her mind and spirit, feeding and nourishing them that they may respond readily to her pen.
 From her youthful appearance and girl ish figure one would think that she had indeed found the fountain of perpetual youth.
 All in all. Mrs. Wilcox is a woman of a charmingly feminine tendency. She loves her home, her cats, her clothes and in- cidentally her handsome husband. She brought out some pictures taken perched on that good looking mans knee, and he certainly looks as if he did not mind it a bit.

Washington. May 4.-Bishop John Fletcher Hurst of the Methodist Episco- pal church died here at 12;4O this morn ing. With the bishop when he died were his daughter Ellen and a son, Lieutenant Paul Hurst, of the Third United States infantry, who arrived only few hours before his fathers death.
 Another son. John l.. Hurst is on his way here from Denver. One other son, Carl Bailey Hurst, Is in Vienna, where he is United States consul general.
 Bishop Hurst had been in failing health for nearly two years, and for more than a year 1t had been recognized that fatal termination of his malady was but a question of months.
 He was stricken with paralysis in Lon don last September year ago when at tending the ecumenical conference.
 The news of President McKinley's as- sassination prostrated him. and the shock brought on rapidly the decline that final ly ended in his death
