The Manufacture Of a Husband,
by DOROTHY DIX

The first thing that woman
can do toward manufacturing her
husband into a success is to keep
him healthy.
1t is platitude to say that with
out health u man will he neither
agreeable to live with, easy to get
along with. nor capable of hold
ing his own in business, yet the
majority of women fail to take
this very palpable fact into con-
sheraton.
Most of the lrritability of man
kind is nerves, most of the pes
simism is dyspepsia, and most of
the bankruptcy is due to bad
cooking. Napoleon gorged him
self at supper, and the fate of
Europe was changed. A lobster

of the Sweetest composer America
has ever known,
Innumerable geniuses have
been done to death on fried

or because he is so depressed

1t is literal truth that most

THE HOME sANITARIUM.

If n woman is married to a de-
lIcate and anaemic malone of
the sort who break down and
have to give up business about
the time when they are really be-
ginning to accomplish something,
she can prevent this catastrophe
by Systematically building up his
health and strength by giving
him nourishing and easily digest
ed food.
If a woman is married to a man
with tuberculosis tendencies she
can probably prevent the disease
ever really taking hold upon him
by seeing that he has abundance
of fresh air and nourishment-
giving him in effect all that the
most scientific sanitarIum gives.
If II woman is married to II
nervous man she can make his
home n perpetual rest cure that
will send him out refreshed every
day to the struggle of life.
1t is actually in woman's
power ninety-nine times out of a
hundred, to ward off dyspepsia
and nervous prostration from her
husband, and enable him to
see clearly and think hopefully,
and thus to almost insure success
in whatever he undertakes
1t takes trouble and work to dc
this, but it is worth the price.

HE WANTS THE OFFICE
Judge MatheWson
 Makes Demand.
Quo Warranto Proceedings
 Will be Commenced To.
 horrow-Supreme Court Expected to Take Up Case.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 3.-A for maj demand for the surrender of their offices was made to-day on the present city court officials by A. Mcclellan Mathewson, the newly appolnre,i judge, Ernest C. Simpson, the new prosecuting attorney, and Charles l.. Bireley.. the newly appointed clerk. Judge Edwin c. Dow, City Attorney Howard Webb and Clerk E. l.. Isbell were formally refused to comply with the demand. Quo warranto proceed ings will be begun before Judge Case in the superior court tomorrow and it is understood that by agreement of counsel, finding of facts will be reached so that the case can at once go up to the supreme court on a reserva- tion. It is hoped to have the supreme court take up the case at its session in Bridgeport on April II.
 Whether the term of Judge Dow and the other attaches of the city court ended April 1, or extends to the mid dle of June is the question at issue. The proceedings this morning were en- tirly formal and there were no sheriffs or police specially assigned to prevent a conflict, in evidence. Judge Dow de- clared to-day that the fact that several sheriffs guarded the court room last Friday night was unknown to him. He said it was certainly not done at his direction. Judge Dow will remain in possession of the city court pending the decision of the supreme court there being no disposition on the part of Judge Mathewson to force the issue.

DRANK CLARET.
Woman Died Shortly After. Wards-P0lice are
 Investigating.

New York, April 3.-The police are investigating the death of Mrs Ruby Larned, p years old, which occurred under peculiar circumstances at her home in a LenOX avenue apartment house early to-day and the wOman's husband and servant employed by the couple are held pending the in quiry. The husband, w. B. Larned, who is 23 years old, says he is an art ist and that he formerly worked as q newspaper man in this city. Accord ing to the story which he told the po- lice, Mrs Larned had been i'll for sev- eral days and yesterday, appeared to be in particularly low spirits. During the afternoon she asked the maid, Annie Miller, for a glass of claret and soon after drinking the beverage became very drowsy and went to bed. She slept heavily all the afternoon and evening and when she showed no sign of awakening before midnight the hus- band says he became alarmed and called physician. Three other physi- clans later were summoned and worked over the woman for hours, but despite all their efforts she died without re- gaining consciousness. When the po- lice were notified of the death they learned that the physicians had found two bottles containing carbolic acid on a stand near the bed on which Mrs Larned was lying. One of these bot ties, from which the poison label had been partially removed. was nearly empty. This led them to make closer inquiries of the husband and servants regarding the claret which had been given Mrs Larned and they assert that the girl told conflicting stories as to where she obtained the wine Larned repeated his story without variance, but it was decided to hold both he and the girl pending a fuller investigation.
 Mrs Larned was formerly resident of Atlanta, Ga, and is said to have no relatives in New York.

 Cials Notice.

Louisville, Ky, April 3.-The bust. ness of the Louisville office of Stephens Henderson,, for the members of which firm warrants have been issued In Liverpool, was brought to the notice of detectives and postoffice officials as long ago as, August B, 1904. On that date a Fort Worth, Tex, paper printed copies Of blang contracts which it was declared had been spread 'broadcast among the farmers of the southwest by the firm. These contracts invited the persons addressed to entrust their money to the firm of Stphens x Hen- derson for speculation in the cotton market without specifying as to whether it was to be used to buy for rise or sell for q decline in futures or spot cotton.
 Lester Henderson, local manager, de. nied that the firm asked unlim1 1ed con- tracts from it's customers or that 1t was attempting to operate blind pool. He admitted that the local offices had no wires, tickerS or other regular brokers paraphernalia, but stated that this was not necessary, as the trading was done through the Liverpool office and that the Louisville office was sim- ply engaged in seeking customs by le- gitimate means.
 Inquiries were started at the time by the New York cotton exchange and the matter was also referred to the postal authorities at Washington. but the matter had apparently gone no further up to date.
 Lester Henderson could not be found last night, although the firm is still listed as having offices in the Todd building.

Former President White of Cornell Had His Hat
 Cut in Two.

New York, April 3.-Andrew D. White, former president of Cornell uni versity and ex-ambassador to Ger many, has had narrow escape from death while returning to this city from New Haven. He was severely cut by glass from broken window and only escaped by the narrowest margin from losing the top of his head. The silk nat which he wore was cut across as If by q knife scarcely more than one eighth of an inch from the head.
 Mir White had a seat in a Pullman, two cars back from the engine. Near him sat q woman and child The train was running at high rate of speed near Ryel when it passed a freight train going in the opposite di- rection: Suddenly there was a crash and a shower of glass and bits of wood fell on Mir White, who had been reading. His hands and arms were se- verely cut, while piece of plate glass had cut his silk hat almost in two. The former diplomat was dazed by the suddenness of the crash and is still suffering from the shock.
 The woman passenger sitting nearby was slightly hurt and when the train reached New York she was sent home in cab.
 Examination of the car showed that something had hit the double window opposite where Mir White was seated. Glass from that side apparently had hn force that the window beside the for mer diplomat was demolished. The train was stopped, but no cause for the accident could be found, nor was there evidence. that anything had been thrown at the train. Trainmen reached the conclusion that car door on the passing freight train caused the trOu- ble..
