Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty Of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

ern method of feeding fat to

Special pispateh 70 The call.

WATSONNILLE, Sept. 6-Sheriff Tras-
ton, District Attorney Knight and the
Chief of Police We're engaged all of yes
terday and a considerable part of to-day
in probing what they believe are sus-
picious circumstances surrounding the
death last Thursday night of Mrs. EIvira
Scales Green, an aunt of Bill Nye, the
famous humorist.
The result of the investigation by these
officials has not been completely made
known, but they declare that they have
found much data of a sensational nature
and have hopes that the evidence will
warrant an arrest tomorrow. Green, the
husband Of the woman, has undergone a
severe sweating process. during which
the officers obtained from him a state
ment Of minutest detail concerning every
| incident before and after Mrs Green was
killed by monoxide poisoning.
STORY OF HUSBAND.
To the inquisitors Green said that on
last Thursday night his wife had retired
about an hour after he did, and he con-
jectured that she had left the gas let
open after having first extinguished the
light. He related that he awakened some
hours later and discovered the room full
Of gas. The theory of the officers is that
It was not Mrs. Green who allowed the
gas to escape.
Mrs. Green had lived here a number Of
years and had by thrift acquired a COM
Portable fortune. About three years ago
she surprised her friends by marrying
Green, who had but short time before
come to Watsonville. She was 81 years
old when she died. During her residence
here she had devoted some time to liter
ary work and was considered a writer Of
more than ordinary ability
The officers state that Green had been
married four times before he met the
woman whose sudden death is now being
Investigated. Efforts are being made to
ascertain precisely what caused the
deaths Of the first, second and third
wives. 1t is said by the authorities that
some mystery attached to the passing Of
these women. The fourth wife obtained
divorce and is now living at Morgan Hill
PROSPECT OF ARREST.
The fact is commented on by the officers
that prior to the death Of Mrs. Green a
widow from Forbestown, in Butte County.
lived at the home Of the Greens for
long time and left there just before the
wife's death For a few days she re-
mained at Paraiso Springs and then re-
turned TO Watsonville. She has since
been living at Green's residence.
The sweating of Green was concluded
late this afternoon and no effort was
made 10 detain him. District Attorney
Knight said tonight that the evidence is
not conclusive enough TO justify a crimi-
nal charge, but he thinks the results of
the inquiry which will be continued to-
morrow will furnish a basis upon which
to rest such a charge and enable the
officers TO make an arrest. The case has
assumed most sensational aspect and
the development of the Investigation is
being eagerly watched

no nation to that signed treaty daring to interfere
yet all willing to interfere should the lions share of

properly belongs to England, which insisted on the

Russians. 1t is for Macedonia that Bulgaria's peo

a city of Asiatic Turkey. Instantly the president

The public pulse beat strongly over anticipated
bombardment. Midst the rockets red glare flag
was still there, and the crescent nowhere. Then
all at lingo patriotism received cold
shock. The consul was not killed, not even hurt.
The Turkish authorities say the firing caused
in observance of usual custom at Turkish fetes,
but Americans do not believe it. The comedy part
of the affair is the presence of an American fleet
and live consul, no powder to burn and no injury
to ayengc The serious part of the affair is the in
creased confidence given to the insurrectionsts
through the presence of foreign fleets at Beirut,

GENERAL PENRGSE DEAD.

Brigadier General William III. Penrose, q. S.
A.. retired, died of typhoid fever at his home in
this city last Sunday night. For days the aged
veteran fought the fever as he had fought the
enemy in the field, in the hope that his eyes would
gaze upon the forms of absent sons ere they closed
forever but the struggle was in vain, Captain
Charles W. Penrose of Fort Brady Mich, and
Major George II. Penrose of Port Townsend
Wash. did not arrive until a day after the death
of the father.
General Penrose was commissioned from Mich
igan as second lieutenant in the regular army in
1861, became colonel of the Fifteenth New Jersey
volunteer infantry in 1868 and at the close of the
was was brigadier-general of volunteers. He
entered the regular service in 1866 and
tired as colonel of the Sixteenth in 1885 The Six
teenth at that time was located at Fort Douglas,
outside our city limis.
1t is as citizen that General Penrose has won
the esteem of our people in Utah. for he cast his
lot among us the day he retired from the service
of his country. He was anxious to win through
the promises these hills around us hold out to the
one who is persevering but too often does the hope
die out with breath just when hope bids persever-
ance to take courage. General Penrose is an ex-
ample of the men who let not misfortune shake
their resolution the kind to build an empire in a
wilderness. Without this kind there would be no
Colorado. There would be Utah, but not the
Utah that men like Penrose would establish.
The funeral was a military one, chiefly, and re-
minded US of that wintry day when the Sixteenth,
General Penroses old command, with guns re-
versed, bufeted the storm of and marched
ahead of the hearse wherein lay that grim old war
rior General Pat Connor.

OUR NEW PHILIPPINE BISHOPS.
(Western Watchman.)

The bishops In the FIVE Philippine sees at the
time of the American conquest of the islands were
Spaniards and Monks. The bishops in Cuba at the
time of the American invasion were Spaniards
After those two events those Spanish bishops all
left their dioceses and followed the Spanish flag
back to Spain. This government did not order
them to leave; they went of their own accord We
have never seen any explanation of this strange
phenomenon in ecclesiastical history Was It q
confession that they were court bishops and bound
in decency to share the fate of the crown? If they
should GO, why should their Spanish clergy re-
main
Those sees had to be filed. Bishops had to be
provided for the grass-widowed dioceses Rome
thought it would be better to send them bishops
from the conquering race; and four bishops from
this country have already been consecrated for
Philippine sees in Rome. The reason for that stem
IS apparent The Philippine church needed the
support of the government. Popular lawlessness
ran riot in the country and clerical anarchy was
supreme In the cities The revolutionists held the
Church in the Archipelago responsible for the
political oppression of the provinces and the hos
tility engendered in the masses would not he SAT-
isfied short of a blood atonment The Church there
will for long time to come need the protection
of the state. The United States government does
not trust the Monks whom it considers the mainstav
of Spanish rule in the past, and will do nothing TO
strengthen their hands. save them from the
wrath of the people. This is fact; and it is idle
to ignore It, The government at Washington does
trust the new American bishops and will see that
they obtain and hold peaceful possession of their
sees. What is true of the policy of the government
towards the American bishops will be true of
priests sent from here to the islands They WILDE
protected Rome does not lose time haggling over
trihes when the interests of souls are at stake She
is willing that the Philippines shall be American
lied enthusiastically as we'll politically and where
she cannot get full monastic loaf she will take

The American bishops met on the thresh-
old of their career with the astounding statement
that the Filipino people don't want them and the
Filipino priests will welcome them with bloody
hands to hospitable graves Americans are
not so easily frightened. American bishops and
American priests will not be enthusiastically wei
