Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

It is no good argument in favor
of electing Democratic president
that all parties in the Pennsylvania
coal regions are preparing for an
other great strike in 1906. tits as
serted that in anticipation of this
event one of the coal companies has
stored $4,000 tons of anthracite
coal at Land1ngville, Pa. If Presi-
dent Roosevelt is in the White
House at that time he may be called
upon to again bring an agreement
between the mine operators and
their employees. There is little
sense in anticipating trouble; it will
be time enough to cross the bridge
when it is reached. The claim is
put forth that the operators were
|coersed by pressure from the White
House when the first strike settle
ment was made, and that there has
been ranking discomfort ever since.
If another strike does occur, like
the last one, it will be settled. The
American people will never consent
! to allow a socialistic or plutocratic
volcano to exist in Pennsylvania
ready to burst forth at any time to
the destruction of, the business
interests of the country. ~ St

The price Of bread has gone up in
England, owing to. the belief that
there is a shortage in the worlds
wheat crop. England will be forced
to take all the surplus food stuffs
the United States can spare and
pay for it, too, in gold. This will
bring additional prosperity to the
agriculturists of America, and will
rapidly extinguish any deficit there
may be in the treasury. For the
Americans are liberal buyers in the
foreign markets, and imports will
increase hand in hand with ex.
ports.
The American Bankers Associa-
ton recently held meeting in New

called, north, east, south and west,
encouraging accounts were given
OF the condition of business in all
parts of the country, represented
by the bankers. It is fair to assume
that the people as whole will not
vote to change these conditions.

FATAL DOSE OF ACID
MRS. MARY WOLF COMMITTED
SUICIDE LAST NIGHT.
Discovered Unconscious by Neighbor-
ul-Health Ascribed as Cause
Of Rash Act.

Mrs. Mary Wolf, thirty-six years old,
committed suicide last night by taking car
belic acid. The rash deed was committed
on the porch in rear of her home at 4U3 II
street northwest. while her husband and
four children were asleep only about ten
feet away. About 1880 O'Clock John Nc
Haney, neighbor, saw the woman lying
on the porch. He went to ascertain what
was the matter, and upon detecting the
odor Of the acid and satisfying himself
that she was unconscious he blew police
whistle and aroused a number of neighbors.
Pedestrians who were within three or four
squares of the place also responded to the
call. The ambulance was summoned and
the dying woman was removed to the
Emergency Hospital, where her death oc-
CURED about II 80 o'clock
Mrs. Wolf was the wife of H. Wolf,
tailor, whose place of business was at his
home. The youngest of her four children
was about five weeks old and the eldest was
twelve years. Since the birth of the last
child the mother had been in III health and
often complained of her physical ailment.
She was seated at the door late yesterday
afternoon with the infant on her lap, and
neighbor who stopped to converse with her
noticed something peculiar about her eyes
and inquired how she felt. Mrs. Wolf re-
sponded that she did not feel well and had
been in very weak condition since the in
FAINT was born
Mrs Wolf retired early last night, and
was in bed when her eldest boy returned
home. The six members of the family, it
is stated, occupied the same sleeping room.
All were in bed, and five of them were prob
ably asleep when the mother arose from her
bed. She passed out the rear door, which
opens on Massachusetts avenue.
1t is thought she purchased the acid ear
Her in the evening and only awaited an op-
portunity to take the dose where she would
not be found In time to save her life She
got quietly out Of bed about the hour stat
ed and opened the door without arousing
her husband. Even the blowing of the dis
tress call did not awaken him. 1t was not
until one of the neighbors entered the house
and called him that he got up The sight
of her lying on the porch dying overcame
him and his cries of distress excited great
sympathy from those who had gathered
about the porch.
Mr.. Wolf could offer no explanation OF
the affair, but her friends thought her ILL
ness had affected her mind The bottle
from which she had taken the acid was
found on the parking and was turned over
to the police.
Coroner hewitt investigated the case this
morning and deemed an inquest unneces-
sary. The body of Mrs. Wolf was delivered
to her husband.

In an opinion submitted to the Commits
sioners by the corporation counsel relative
to proposed sewer connections at premises
634 836, 642 and GA Sth Street, northeast,
the attorney advises the Commissioners to
make a careful investigation of the matter
before the District proceeds with making
connections. 1t is stated that the owners
of the property mentioned have failed to
make suitable sewer connections, and the
District authorities have proposed to do
the work and assess the cost against the
property.
The corporation counsel is of the opinion
that the District should be In a position
to clearly justify it's action in case the
sewer connections are made by the au-
thorities, as the District might be liable
to actions for damages unless the necessity
of the case justified the work
