GAMBLING IN ESTATES.
Spectators in Mortality May Get

New York SUM

New York SUM-
Spectators in mortality who bought
up the interests of the bankrupt John
Campbell Smith. in the estates of Rich
ard Augustine Smith and John Camp
bell at an auction of the bankrupts
assets on Thursday have the possible
chance OF realizing 1922. 1867 on an
investment of $500. The chance is ex-
ceedingly remote, because it is contin-
gent upon twelve comparatively young
be1eficiaries dying before three that
are advanced in age, upon a beneficiary
of sixty-five dying before Smith and an
unmarried woman OF AZ dying without
issue.
There is a somewhat better chance of
the mortality gamblers realizing SPA
361.S9 on their investment of 81, 500 in
John Campbell Smiths interests In the
John Campbell estate, since the life
or Mary JacQueline Smith. who is 65
years old, and the death of Martha H.
Campbell, 40, is all that stands between
the spectators, presumably, and the
money.
For their investment of $500 in
Smiths interest in the total of the
Richard Augustine Smith estate the
spectators took a chance as long al
most. as their possibility of realizing
the total of both estates, since twelve
stand in the way. The chances of
smaller profit are much better. since
the viii of Richard Augustine Smith
provided that John Campbell Smith
should receive the share of any one of
fourteen presumptive beneficiaries
should that one die before three direct

vanced in years.

Disastrous Wreck in Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 11.--Twenty
passengers on Pennsylvania express
train No. 10 from New York and
Philadelphia were killed and more
than 100 injured, some of them fa-
tally in dynamite explosion which
followed a collision of the express
and eastbound freight in South Har-
rlsburg early this morning. Of the
l69 passengers on express train not
one is reported having escaped in
jury. Following the first explosion
there came two others each greater
in violence than the one preceding.
Then the fire broke out in each of
the overturned coaches simultane-
ously and found its way to- the dead,
dying and injured pinned under the
wreckage.
The wrecked train was the second
section of the Cleveland and Cincin.,
natl express and was caused by the
bursting of an air hose on the freight.
The express then plunged into the
freight and exploded two cars of dy-
Mantle, strewing the ground with the
dead and dying. The explosion was
80 terrific that it broke all the win
dows in South Harrisburg. The en-
gineer of the passenger train was in
stantly killed, and his fireman was
thrown clear of the wreck down an
embankment and escaped with few
slight injuries. Many who escaped
death are badly burned and in some
cases their clothes were almost en-
tirely burned from their bodies.

Murder and Suicide.

Frederick w. Hill, a maohinist,
killed his wife and then took his own
life in Richmond, Va, last Tuesday
morning at an early hour. The dou-
BILE tragedy occurred soon after 9
o'clock, in the humble home, where
the macbinist, his wife and their
eight children lived. Two or three
of the children witnessed the awful
deed, but were unable to prevent it.
They endeavored to arouse neigh
bors, but were unable to do 80 and
had to see their mother slain and
their father end his own life. Des-
pondency and ill health are attributed
as the causes. These had preyed on
the mind of Hill until his reason was
impaired. Close friends had sus-
pected for some time that his mind
was unbalanced. About a year ago
he had the hallucination that some
body was trying to kill him. Hill
was about forty years old and was
well spoken of. When employed he
worked in the bolt department of the
Richmond Locomotive Works.

The Dentists "Bettle."

old woman has the privilege of an

sympathy stored up for anyone SINH

and thrust my head as far out of the
window as possible. so that l might
avoid any sound of distress from
within.

me a fourth of an eternity, some one
touched my elbow and l turned to
find Bette, Intercepted and smiling,
with queer wrinkle at the side of
her nose.

Letter to a WalhalIa Doctor.

Dear Sir: For your house, no matter
what's the matter with tit isn't a
human you know-a prescriptions:
Devoe lead.and-zinc. Apply with a
brush, from one to three coats-get a
painter TO do it.
Seven State chemists know all about
Devoe; have analysed it; report it pure;
will analyze it occasionally. They buy it
in the open market whenever they like.
You know what the color and dryer are
1o.. do you know what the lead-and- zinc
an3 oil are for2 Not being painter, you
may not choose to know. but We'll tell
you.
Lead-and-zinc and oil combine to form
rubbery waterproof coat to keep out
dampness. That's the whole business.
The oil would do it alone; lead-and- oil
would do it, without the zinc; zinc and
oil without the lead; but the three to-
gether are best, because they wear best.
We say to you, "get painter" as we'd
say TO him "get n doctor"-every man to
his trade. Can't all be painters and doc
tors; don't want to.
You will be more successful in pros
porous looking house, and he in good
health. Take good care of one another.

He said: "I'll marry the girl of

were nine members of the club.
Each girl went away in corner and
used great caution in preparing her
ballot and Disgusting her handwrit-

tells the story, says chat the result
was that there were nine votes cast,

"The real difficulty and delioaoy of
our topic become most apparent when
we come to speak of the less virulent
and differently directed club move
ments that have crossed the even
tenor of the way of womanhood. l
do not include those movements
which amount to nothing more than
woman's association or cooperation
in charitable, benevolent and religious
work, largely local in its activities
and in all its qualities and purposes
entirely fitted to woman's highest
nature and best impulses. 1 speak
more especially of the woman's clubs
of an entirely different sort which
have grown up in all sections of our
land, and which have already become
30 numerous that in the interests of
their consolidated management a
National Federation of Woman's
Clubs has been created. / speak also
of the vast number of associations
less completely organized, but not less
exacting of time and attention, whose
professed purposes are in many in
stances the intellectual improvement
or entertainment of the women COM

posing their Membership. Doubtless
in numerous cases the objects of these
clubs and associations are shown
in such light and are made to
appear 80 good, or at least so harm
less, that a conscientious woman,
unless she makes strong fight
against self-delusion, may quite easily
persuade herself that affiliation with
them would be certainly innocent and
perhaps even within the dictates of
duty. The danger of self-delusion
lies in her supposition that she is
consulting the need of relaxation or
the duty of increased opportunity for
intellectual Improvement, when in
point of fact, and perhaps imper-
ceptibly to herself, she is taking
counsel of her discomfort with the
humdrum of her home life"
After considering the woman's
clubs as weapon of retaliation upon
man for neglect of his home and sug-
gesting that the retaliation may fall
upon the innocent as well as the
guilty, Mr.. Cleveland says cit may
safely be assumed that among those
who are most disturbed by the growth
of woman's clubism the sentiment is
universal that mans neglect of
woman is dastardly offense and that
the whipping post for wife beaters
would be wholesome feature of our
criminal law" He goes on:
81 am persuaded that without ex-
aggeration of statement we may
assume that there are woman's clubs
whose objects and intents are not
only harmful, but harmful in way
that directly menaces the integrity
of our homes and the benign disposi-
tion and character of our wifehood
and motherhood; that there are
others harmless in intent, but whose
tendency is toward waste of time and
perversion of effort, as we'll as toward
the formation of the club habit, and
the toleration or active patronage o.
less innocent organizations; that there
are also associations of women whose
purposes of charity, religious enter
prise or intellectual improvement are
altogether laudable and worthy
Leaving this latter class out of ac
count, and treating the subject on the
theory that only the other organiza
tions mentioned are under considera
tion, / believe that it should be boldly
declared that the best and safest club
for woman to patronize is hel

Please say to the brethren and

superior to the one we lost by fl re

was done with my own hands, having
worked for nearly eight weeks, with
out losing one day, visiting at night
the sick around my home, and preach
ing without preparation. The best
of it all is we have the best building
we ever had, and by the last of this
