7OR7URI7YS WIFE SEEN TO ENTER HOUSE or DEATH
TWICE AFTER MURDER HAD BEEN COMMITTED
E. Za Says He Watched the Woman She Opened and Shut
Door Behind Her on Thursday and Friday Mornings.

An all important clew to the possible
capture Of the murderer of Vilardo was
turned up last night when it was dis
covered that Mrs. Rosa Torturiti. wife
of the man for whom the police are
securing the town, paid two visits to
the house OF death on Green street on
the mornings of Thursday and Friday
Notwithstanding her statement that she
left the house early Thursday morning
and did not return yesterday. She was
seen by E. Zitzka, landlord of the
house, who resides in the upper fiat.
Although the woman denies absolute
ly having visited the place till she was
The San Francisco call., 1905-04-09

captured there yesterday morning, the
landlord is prepared to swear he saw
her and that she acted In a suspicious
manner, as though she feared some
thing. Each time she carried a bundle
and each time she remained in the
house for some length OF time.
1t is the opinion of the landlord that
the woman had just left her husband
on each occasion and that he dis
patched her to the house where the
disnembered remains lay for the pur-
pose of scouting around and seeing that
there was no one who suspected that
a crime had been committed in the
neighborhood.

WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.

The American girl is admired and liked
at home and abroad because she is the
happiest, usually the healthiest and friend
1iest of girls. She is fond of life and is
alive to everything beautiful and good in
existence. Mrs. Langtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters.
DR. Pierce the specialist in women's dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y. advises simple ex-
ercises for women, preferably in the out
door air But many women are confined
to the house and their household duties or
their business confines them to poorly ven
tilated rooms.
If woman suffers from a headache, a
backache, a sensation of irritability or
twitching and uncomfortable nervousness,
something must be wrong with the head OF
the real trouble very often centers in the
the seat of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for
its cure. The local disorder and inlamma-
ton of the delicate special organs of the
sex should be treated steadily and system
atically.

remarkable and uniform cures record

That is queer statement OF the
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst,N that he was
put in possession Of the evidence
ten years ago showing all these ex-

companies. The reason he didn't
make use of this evidence, accord

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY

Yes, it is horrible to learn that
the kiss of a girl, so sweet, may re
suit in an awful death. Fortunate
ly that those charming creatures
prefer to enjoy the blissfulness Of q
kiss given to friend or a lover,
then to see him in the cOnvulslOns
Of pain. 1t is to learn Professor
w. ID. Miller, of the University Of
Berlin, says that he mas discovered
the danger the mouth Of girl con
seals. The students Of the Univer-
sity of Wesleyenne, n Y, were
stupelide and amazed, IN hearing
his dissertation on the subject, W hen
he told them that the bite Of girl
was very poisonous, and often pro
duced worse horrible death then
the bite of a snake. The eminent
Professor, who made a special stu
dy of the mouth said that he had
lately made an experiment on a
young German girl, and discovered
that an arrow dipped in her saliva
was susceptible Of producing on
victim more terrible death than
an arrow dipped into the venom of
the most deadly reptile. This is a
good lesson for young men but,
may be that is only the German girls
who possess such poison in the
mouth. Nevertheless the lovers of
this part of the country, are unani-
nous in asserting thai they are rea-
dy to face the danger, if given a
least chance, knowing that the lips
of the pretty Creole girls contain a
suavity and softness that are indes-

MAIL SENT BY ELECTRICITY.

The French are at work on q no.
vel scheme for the trans portation
of mail express parcels. The great
desiratum in the handling of mate
rials of this class is speed in trans
portation. The dangers of high
speed travel for passengers, as we'll
the attendant expenses rigidly limit
practically all schemes Of mail
transportation have been planned
in conjunction with passenger traf-
fic. The French have very sensibly,
divorced the mail and package ex-
press business from ordinary ira
vel, and they propose to transport
these at rates of speed much In
excess of the limits of personal safe
ty.
Accordingly small cars, about 25
feet in length and 3la feet square,
affording about 76 cubic feet OF
space, are to be dispatched on an
overhead support at speed Of 155
miles an hour, electricity being of
course, the motive power. Exper-
mental line of this character has re-

The republican party must soon
er or later meet the demands OF the
revisionists or the people will turn
again to the Democratic party for
relief, This is about as certain as
anything in politics can be and it is
not likely that the leaders of the
Senate will again permit the agita-
tion of the tariff question to reach
stage where the Democrats will
have all the advantage, as they had
in 1884 and again in 1892. 1t
would seem therefore, that the forth
coming session Of congress would
afford a most opportune time for
the Republican revisionists to press
their claims and to accept all the
help that the Democrats in congress
are ready to give them. .--Kdnsas
