MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

For a reason that is a mystery Miss
Lillian Reed, a refined and pretty young
woman employed as stenographer by
Schmidt & Co., wholesale dealers in
gloves. in New York, committed suicide
Yesterday afternoon in the private office
of the head of the firm. The only other
person in the office with her was A. b.
Campbell. a salesman. Campbell says
that few minutes after Mr.. Schmidt
went away the girl got up from her desk
inst outside the door of Mr.. Schmidt 5
private room and entered the room,
closing the door after her. Campbell
said he heard no sound from the room'
He did not regard the girls action as
peculiar, as she usually took tn attlme
for Strengthening out the letters and
papers on her employers desk.
when Mr.. Schmidt returned he was
surprised tefnd the door of bis private
office locked. Campbell climbed to the
top of the partition separating the office
frcm the main floor and peeptd over.
He saw the girl sitting in the revolving
schair at the desk. Her head had fallen
to one side and her golden hair, which
had become loosened, fell over her
shoulder. On the floor near her was a
bottle.
The door was forced open. 1t was dis
covered that Miss Reed had taken car
bolic acid. An ambulance from st.
Vincent's Hospital took her to that In
stitution. When the nurses were at
tending her they found bottle of chic
reform in one of her stockings. She died
within few minutes after her arrival
at the hospital.
Miss Reed went to New York from
Chicago three years ago and entered the
employ of the Schmidt Company. She
returned from a three-weeks' vacation
Monday. Her sister, a stenographer IN
the office of the Coudert Brothers, the
noted lawyers, was sent for, and went
to the hospital, but failed to see the girl
alive. She could not explain, she said,
the reason for Lillian's suicide. Miss
Anna Reed, the sister, said:
81 know of no reasOn-no love affair
or anything-that would lead my sister
to do this. / do not know that she was
subject to fits OF dependency without
any apparent reason. We were at AS
bury Park on our vacation together, and
two or three times while there she had
these attacks. She did not feel we'll when
we got home. We came TO New York
from Chicago, but our home is in Will
Transport, Pa. My mother is dead, but
my father is living"

Mother and Three Children Killed.
A mother and her three little chill
dren we're killed and a number of other
persons seriously injured in a collision
last night between a westbOund Balti-
more and Ohio local passenger train,
known as No. II, and Chicago anC
Erie freight train at the Brighton Park
Railroad crossing at Western avenue
and west Thirty-ninth street Chicago.
The collision followed frantic effort on
the part of the crossing fiagman to
change the course of the freight train,
to the crew of which he had given a
signal that all was clear for them to
back over the Baltimore and Ohio tracks.
The passenger train, which was ap-
preaching rapidly, was struck by the
freight cars and two of the coaches were
overturned. One of the freight cars
crashed through the woodwork of one OF
the coaches, where the four who we're
killed were seated. They were a family
Ct five, and c. c. Schwartz, the father,
was the only one who escaped with his
life. Although taken from the wreck
unconscious and suffering from broken
bones and bruises, it is believed that
his injuries will not prove fatal. The
mother and the children were killed in
stantly. A rigid investigation will be
made to determine who was responsible
for the accident. Coroner John f..
Traeger, as soon as notified of the
wreck, hastened personally with force
of men to the scene to determine where
the blame lies. The officials of the
Chicago and Erie and the Baltimore aud
Ohio Roads also sent agents to the
scene of the wreck, and declare that
they will see to it that the guilty are
punished.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many May See But II Takes Genius to
Realize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up ana
down he said "There must be power in
that steam that 1t can lift such =
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded 1t as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put Its
finger on the cause of Dandruff. Fall
ing Hair. and consequent Badness. and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this
germ and consequently restores the
hair to It's natural state.

S fF 4 E s5% hold '-that is, a grasp of the sleeves
 of the wrestling jacket near the should, |ers with both hands, but after a few
 seconds of circling and stepping about
 in this rm's-length attitude one man or the other would incautiously lay
 himself open to q juiutsu attack, and
 his adversary, closing in with extraor- dinary rapidity and suppleness of
 movement, would engage him in a
 lock- to which he must either yield or suffer dislocated joint or q broken bone. Sometimes he was thrown side ways by a dextrous trip and twist; sometimes his resistance was braken over his adversary's hip or back, and sometimes he was thrown squarely over his adversary's head but in every case the wrench given him in the close tackle was sufficient to break his grip, so that iii his fall he was seldom able to carry the other man with him. In
 perhaps half dozen cases the wrest- lers fell to the floor together and con- tinued the struggle there, but 1t did
 not last long. In five seconds, or pos
 sibly 1O one man would get the other in jiljutsu grip that would completely par alyze his resistance, and force him
 either to yield or suffer serious bodily
 injury, He had to submit in order to
 save his arm, his back, or his neck.
 The falls in most cases were very heavy, the defeated mans body strik- ing the floor with. what seemed to me
 great violence; but the art of falling is
 a part of jujutsu training, and men who had been thrown a dozen times, with thumps that might have been heard at a distance of 200 yards, showed no symptoms of shock or distress.
 After 20 minutes of class wrestling, in Ithe course of which almost every man lin the room was thrown 20 or 30 times the floor was cleared and successive pairs of selected experts gave an ex- Inhibition of skill, quickness, and ingenu- lity in attack and defense that was as remarkable as anything of the kind that have ever seen. In every contest lthe participants scrupulously observed Ievery form of Japanese courtesy, lkneeling and lowing low to the audi fence and to each other before and after every bout.
 If a judgment as to the value of an exercise may fairly be based upon the results that follow it's practice, iujutsu wrestling is better than the training lgiven in gyrnnasiums, and superior to most athletic games. It would be hard l to find more perfectly and symmetrical fly developed bodies tha nthose of the IYetajima cadets,-George Kennan in the

A FALL IN FIVE SECONDS.

Japenese Athletic Training in Jujutsu
 wrestling at a Naval Academy,
 Jujutsu, (pronounced Joo-juts), which we were first taken to see, is a peculiar kind of wrestling, invented by the Ja- panese, in which skill, quickness and knowledge of anatomy are made to sup plement, or take the place of, muscu lar strength. The room or hall in which the wrestling took place was 75 or 30
 feet long and perhaps 10 feet wide, and
 it's floor was covered in Japanese fash
 ion, with rectangular mats of closely
 woven straw, fitting tightly together and faced with white canvas Along Ethe sides of this spacious room, close against the wall, 50 or 70 cadets were sitting on their heels awaiting their turns, while on the floor 30 bareheaded tbarefooted young men, dressed in can- was Jackets and short cotton trunks (which left the legs bare from the thighs down, were engaged in wrestling. With HOW dll0 LllSAA HUH the exception of a low order or admoni- inot word was spoken, nor a sound made, by wrestlers or spectators; and if lit had not been for the heavy thurnps made by the bodies of the defeated as tthey struck the floor, the stiffness would have been that of a Quaker prayer meeting.
 The first thing that impressed me as I entered the hall was the quick sue- cession ill which the wrestlers were be- ling thrown. A man seldom succeeded | in keeping his feet for more than 30 seconds, and often he was thrown in Jess than five. The circling, feinting,
 dripping, and closing in of the comba-
 tants were so extremely rapid that 1t
 was difficult to see how the results
 were brought about; but it was evident
 that skill and perfect Knowledge of the tanatomy of the body played much more important part than mere weight lor strength The smaller and lighter man frequently threw the taller and heavier one, and two men would often throw each other by turns, thus show l ing that neither of them had much su- periority in strength or skill as to be certain of victory. In the wrestling of Japanese professionals weight and strength are the main factors that de- termine the result of the struggle, but i in jujutsu wrestling the things that
 count are skill, auickpsss, anatomical knowledge and knack S~ The cadets at Yetajima always began ! a bout by engaging each other in what
 boys in my youth called a square

THE RAILROAD AS PEAcEMAKER.

THE RAlLhOAD A0 TEACEMAhER.
 At a recent meting of the Internation- al Arbitration Conference at Lake Mo- honk considerable emphasis was put upon the fact that the railroad is often the most effective of peacemakers, in- asrnuch as it develops the social and commercial conditions and brings into closer touch neighboring countries that have heretofore been at enmity. It ofttimes materially aids in dissolving those barriers and prejudices which have tended to keep the different peoples apart and convince them that s'aIl the worlds akin.,' This is espe- cially true among the Couth and Gen. tral American countries, and when the railroad becomes more of a factor there than it is at present there will be fewer revolutions and a far greater spirit of fraternity and fellowship.
