FAMILY DENY STORY.
Say That the "VeiIed Murderess" Af-
fair Was a Myth.

QUEBEC, May 23.-The representa-
tives of the Wood family in Quebec
emphatically deny that Charlotte
Wood, Lady Elliott, was the so-called
yelled Murderess,'' who died a short
time ago in the criminal insane asylum
at Mattewan, and whose sensational
story starting from New York is now
going the rounds of the American and
Canadian press.
Colonel Frost Wood Gray, Of his
majesty's customs here, a first cousin
of Lady Elliott's, pronounces the whole
story to be a myth. He declares he
frequently met the real Lady Elliott
in Scotland between 1856 and 1859;
that she was Charlotte Wood, the
daughter of his uncle, Robert Wood,
a Quebec timber merchant, and the
wife of Sir William Elliott and that
she died in 1878, and he SHOWS by
Burks' Perrage the record of her death,
so that it is impossible that she could
have been identical with the so-called
Yelled Murderess," who was confined
at Mattewan for over so years, and
who died recently.

January, 1905, did she get any trace
of him. Then she learned that ne had
died in Tacoma. The remains were
held until her arrival.
She hurried to Tacoma to pay the
last respects to the man whom she
believed was her husband. A few days
after his burial she was told she had
no interest in the estate, valued at
$4,000, as ne had obtained a decree
of divorce from ner in 1899, and the
court declared all his realty to be his
separate and individual property The
court records show that her husband
had made affidavit that he did not
know her place of residence, ana also
testified that she had deserted him.
The woman in her affidavit points
out many irregularities in the proceed
ings. Sne maintains that ner husband
knew her place of residence, as she
has resided in the same house for 40
years. The woman will continue the
fight to have the decree set aside and
to obtain a share of the estate.

Progress of Medicine Shown

LONDON, May 22.-How great, in
these latter days has been the advance
in the art of healing is strikingly il
lustrated at the exhibition which open
ed today in conjunction with a three
days celebration of the centenary OF
the Royal Medical and Chirurgical So
ciety. The exhibition includes phar-
maceutical apparatus, medicine bottles
and old prescriptions that were in ac-
tual use century ago, when quack-
cry was rife and when even regular
and duly qualified physicians adver-
tised some curious nostrums, and some
of which are included in the exhibition.
There are also to be seen some curious
household remedies in use at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century and
another interesting exhibit displays
the methods and devices employed to
BATTLE body -snatchers.

Jules Verne's Prolific Pen.

PARIS, May 23.-The late Jules
Verne was accustomed for many years
to writing two books year and mis-
literary activity was considered little
short of marvellous. But search
among his personal property has re-
yealed the fact that in addition to his
80 or more publications, he left many
unpublished manuscripts. These in
clude 16 dramatic works-nine being in
verse and seven in prose-nine novels,
two histories, and two works, entitled
respectively Travels in England and
scotland" and Paris in the Twen-
tieth Century"
