IMAGINATION THAT
WENT BEYOND DEATH
English Suicide Wanted His Body
Recovered Quickly, Fearing
Rats and EelS.

LONDON, March 12-An imagination that
went beyond death was shown in letters
left behind by Charles +. Davis, a nurse,
who drowned himself in the Avon at Tur-
ley, Wiltshire.
To a friend he wrote: Tell all those
whom ii may concern to recover my body
as soon as possible. Ldread rats and cells.
To the coroner he wrote: II did this act
being fully aware of the awful eternity
that awaits me in consequence, but it is
the only fit end to a life of misery. God
nelp my soul"
He had left a note on the river bank an
nOuncing his suicide, and there being in
sanity in the family. the jury yesterday
returned the accustomed verdict.

electrician, NJ. Hospitaller, president oil
the Societe InternatiOnale des Electrl-
clans, reports London paper.
Take. for instance, the case OF an en-
CINE or machine moving at great speed.
Its parts appear a mere blur to the spec
tator. yet an important Improvement
may depend on the possibility OF reaIiz-
ing exactly how a certain part OF the
motion at full speed takes place. Inc
stroboscope is an instrument which en-
ables this to be done. A movement mat
really takes place in a hundredth OF
thousandth of a second may be seen
drawn out to a quarter of minute or
more The time of the movement is mag
nified so as to enable it to be watched
and examined at leisure. The means
that produce this wonderful result are
ludicrously simple when you know
them. By means of an electric spark
fired at rapid recurring periods, or re-
volving disk with Sits passed before
| lantern, the moving object is Illuminated
in a succession of flashes. If the flashes
coincide exactly with the period of the
machines revolution they will show 1t
always in one position, and to the OBJ
server it will seem at rest.
By slightly retarding the flashes, so
that they lag behind their time, the
machine under observation will seem TO
move slowly, because at each revolution
II is shown at slightly later stage.
Thus movement too rapid for direct OBJ
servatiOn may be analysed and watched
slowly, the strains or vibrations at every
point being clearly noted. Thus you
may watch the formation Of the stitch
in a sewing machine, the exact way in
which petrol motor works, and a thou

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Railroads Exempted From Liability
to Passengers Riding On Passes.
Justice Brewer Rules That PnSsen-
gers Riding Free Can Not RecoN-
cr Damages For Injuries

Washington, Feb. 2i-The question
as TO whether a passenger on a railroad
train, riding on a free pass who loses
his life on account of an act OF care
lessness on the part Of the railroad
company stands on the same footing
as that passenger who pays his fare,
was Tuesday decided by the United
States supreme court against the free
passenger. The case in which the Opin-
ion was rendered was that Of the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. VS.. Lou
Use H. Adams and Frank II. Adams,
heirs Of Jay H. Adams, an attorney al
law of Spokane, Wash, in 1898.
Mr.. Adams was riding on a pass
which contained a stipulation exempt
ing the railroad company from liability
in case of accident. The federal circuit
court for the district of Washington
state awarded damages TO the extent Of
$4,000 and the circuit court of ap-
peals for the ninth circuit court af-
firmed this judgment.
was handed down by Justice Brewer
and reversed the lower courts The
supreme court held that there could
be no higher measure of duty to the
heirs than to Adams himself, and that
there is nothing in public policy to
prevent a contract between a common
carrier and a free passenger eXempting
the carrier from liability in case Of
accident The company, it is said,
waived its right to exact compensation
from Adams He was not in the power
Of the company and Obliged to accept
its terms. He freely and voluntarily
chose to accept the privilege Of the
road, and having accepted that priv
ilege the court said, can not repudlate
its conditions.

MARCUS A, HANNA
WILL PROBATED
An Estate of About Three Million
Dollars Left to Family.
ONLY A FEW MINOR REQUESTS
uI~ SON Daniel II. Hnnnu, Mrs. Wan
nm and l.. &. Hanna Named ns
Trustecs-No Public Requests
None to Charity.

Cleveland. o., Feb. 24.-By the will
of the late Senator Marcus Alonzo Han
ma. probated Tuesday, an estate val
ued at about 100000 is left TO the
family
There are no public requests. The
principal benefciaries are the widow
Mrs. Charlotte Augusta Hanna: the
SON Daniel Rhodes Hanna, the two
daughters. Mabsl Augusta Hanna Par
sons. and Mrs. Ruth Mccormick, wife
of Medill Mccormick, Of Chicago.
A sister. Lillian c. Hanna Baldwin,
is given $4,000. An aunt, Mrs. Helen
Converse, is giY en- $1,000, and each Of
the grandchildren $4,000 each.
The widow is given the homestead
property, all It's furnishings, the sta
bles and the library in lieu OF one
years support
Several years ago Senator Hanna
took out considerable life insurance
for the benefit of his three children.
The will provides that these gifts are
not to be taken into consideration in
the settlement Of the estate.
The estate in the main, is to be di-
vided into three equal parts The first
third was left to Mrs Hanna, to re-
main as her own during her natural
life and at her death to be disposed OF
by the trustees,
The remaining two-thirds is to then
be divided into three equal parts and
divided among the three children,
share and share alike. But the shares
are to be held in trust for the children
by the trustees, who will conduct the
affairs of each and give to them the
income from each part.
In the event Of the death of the two
daughters and that they have no emil
dren, then one-fourth of their shares
is TO be given to their husbands ana
the remaining three-fourths are TO re-
vert back to Mrs Hanna or her son,
Daniel
The executors are not asked to give
bond. It was the directions OF Senator
Hanna that all partnerships in which
he was interested during his life should
be continued the same as If he we're
still alive. In addition to this, how
ever. he delegated the power to the
trustees to terminate such partnerships
at any time they desired, if in their
Judgment such a step is considered
the best move for the interest Of the
estate,
Under the terms Of the will it is eX-
pected that the bulk Of the business
will fall on the shoulders Of Daniel X,
Hanna, the son. Dan Hanna, Mrs
Hanna and l., c, Hanna are appointed
trustees.

Eurniture Reduced TO Ashes.

The large warehouse occupied by
the Little Rock Furniture Manufac-
turing Company in the east end OF
the city was totally destroyed by fire
on the morning of February "a. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but is
supposed to have been due TO electric
wires, as no fire was ever kept in the
building The building was a three
story brick structure so by 100 feet
and was heavily stocked with finish
ed furniture. The Arkansas Furni-
mre Company also occupied a portion
Of the building and suffered part of
the loss The damage is estimated
at $4,000. which is covered by 500
