TATTooINa NOT UNCOMMON.
Fashionable English People Have the
Craze.

Craze.
In the annual report of the director
general of the medical department of
the British navy appears a paper by
Staff Surgeon Finch, OF the Thesis, In
which reference is made to the case
of a stoker who was tattooed at Wei
haiwei and who subsequently suffered
from a rash over his body.
'Tattooing," says the report, SIS
now not uncommon in many widely
separated classes of society and it
would repay any one desiring this form
of decoration to see that the needles
used are sterilized."
Inquiries made show that the re-
port as to the popularity Of tattooing is
quite correct. Alfred Smith, who hf }
tattooed over $4,000 persons-among
them over 1000 medical men-said
that with antiseptic treatment tn re
was no fear Of any disease being
spread and all his needles were ster-
ilized. He prepares every arm in the
same way as a nurse would before an
operation. Asked as to whether fash
iOnable people liked to be tattooed, Mr.
SlDith said that a great many of his
clients were society folk--"from dukes
downward
The average time for an operation
IL one and half hours and sometimes,
when an elaborate picture is being
made, a man will call twice week
for six months. Women and children
are also tattooed. Some women, it
seems, like to have little inscription
on the third finger of the left hand,
where it is covered by the wedding
ring. The inside of the upper arm and
the ankle are also favorite places for
pictures. Men and women often come
to have initials tattooed on their arms
and sometimes, after a respectable
time, they want the initials altered.
One young lady came-at different
times-with elepen different mer. At
each visit she signed her name and
the signature was tattooed on her COM
panon's arm. The young woman is
married now, but her husband has
not his wife's maiden name ON his arm.
while of the eleven young men whose
arms were once so adorned six have
been back to Mr.. Smith to have the

absurd: because she was sure that when

more than she was. 1t was nothing less
than duty now to find out whether he
had recovered himself. If he had done

sound discretion gazed. Each black nos

small tunnel. and the eye that belonged

TO HAVE BIG 'PHoNE SYSTEM.

Chicago & Alton Road Will Connect
All Stations by Telephone.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad has
entered into a contract with the Bell
Telephone Company providing for the
construction of a complete telephone
system covering the entire lines of the
Alton road. Fifty exchanges are to be
installed as beginning, and the work of
construction will commence at once. East
st. Louis will be the location of the CEN
trail exchange, from which point the lines
will radiate and ultimately will be OPP
Grated over the road north to Chicago
and west to Kansas City, with lines ex-
tending to the different branches. 1t is
said that it is not the present intention
of the management to use the telephone
service in the operation of trains, al
though it is thought likely that such use
will come ev ntually. The principal value
of the telephone at the outset will be
in the transmission of messages which
will facilitate the handling of the ATOMS
great freight traffic. The success of the
New York Central-Lake Shore telephone
has caused the management to consider
its extension to cover all lines of the
Vanderbilt system-Michigan Central,
Big -Four, West Shore, Lake Erie and
Western, Three SIS" and other roads.

MRS. STANFORD DEAD.
Woman Philanthropist Taken Strange.
w III at HcuoInIu and Dies; IL, uonv

~ HI AJlGS III A&Onys
The tragic death of Mrs Jane Leland
Stanford in commissions at Honlulu Tues
day night. crying, Il am poisoned is 'ex-
pected to develop most remarkable
mystery. Fleeing from poisoning which
almost took her life Mrs Stanford,
among the wealthiest women in the
world. famed phianthropist and benefae-
tor of education, expired in her apart
ments in the Moena hotel after drinking
soda water.
Not one motive can be ascribed for
the supposed murder of Mrs Stanford
but her sudden death came after she had
appeared in perfect health and following
an equally mysterious poisoning of the
philanthrpoist in her San Francisco pail
ace.
Physicians first called diagnosed her
sudden fatal attack as ''tetanus of the
respiratory organs" An examination af-
ter her death confirmed this diagnosis,
but the scientists confessed themselves
unable to furnish any reason for the sud
denness of such an attack. An inquest
was held, and an autopsy reported the
discovery of tetanus
Mrs. Stanford was found moaning in
her death agonies, but conscious and in
telligent. She died in less than an hour
after she drank the medicine, though she
had been in active health and high spirits
all day.
She told her servants and the persons
who had rushed 10 her bedside of the
medicine she had taken, and then, as the
convulsicns grew worse, she seemed to
come to a full realization that she was
about to die AID exclaimed: Il have been
poisoned! This is a horrible death to
die!'
Her own physician, DIR. Il. II. Humph-
reys, and another in the hotel, DIR. III. V.
Murray, did all in their power, but in
vain, to alleviate her piteous commissions.
She died within forty minutes
Two months before in her boudoir in
her San Francisco mansion she had been
stricken with similar commissions after
drinking bottle of imported mineral
water found to contain strychnine, which
resulted in her fight toward the Orient
for an extended tour
Miss Berner. the secretary. who was
with her mistress at each poisoning, al
most swooned as Mrs. Stanford was dy-
ing. The secretary said she had pur-
chased the bottle of bicarbonate of soda
in Adelaide, Australia, nearly a year be-
fore.
No motive is conceivable for the muir
der of Mrs. Stanford, a philanthropist
who has given $3S,000000 to free educa-
ton and woman noted and beloved for
her unselfsh solicitude for others.
