GAVE LIFE FOR FAME
PECULIAR CASE IN SUICIDE OF
YOUNG WOMAN.
English Girl. Writer Of What She Be-
lieved Inspired Work. Died That
She Might Give to the World Her
important Message.

Miss Edith Allonby, the Lancaster
school teacher. who recently commit
ted suicide at Cartinel, England, left
a written statement which is publish
ed In the London Standard of Sept.
8. In 1t she says:
Il have written a book Q wrote It
four years since) which contains one
of either two things-truth or page
upon page of blasphemy. l know II, to
be truth, but SO simple that the world
can hardly recognize 1t, and while l
stand In the light l am afraid it can
not be seen at all. When l am gone,
and when it once has fair chance OF
being read and discussed as 1t de-
serves to be. 1t will appear different
from what 1t ever could do with me
living.
mo book ever was written by hu-
man hand more reverently or with
greater purity Of thought. tried to
publish 1t but failed. Since then ]
have gone on writing patiently and
spending money willingly with the
end In view of making an opening for
1t. but am afraid. so far as it is CEN
cerned. l am as near to 1t as I was
four years since. Had The Fulfill
ment' been less near to God and less
sacred to me, had fought for it we'll
with earthly weapons, but 1t was
given to me out of the. great silence,
and must give 1t to the world the
same. That is the simple, honest
truth of the whole matter. have
died to give Gods gift to the world
with as little stumbling block as pos
sible."
1t appears that Miss Allonby had
published two works with London
firm anonymously. She had private
means and took up teaching and lit
erature from choice and not of neces-
sity. Her family are in possession Of
the manuscript of THE Fulfillment,"
and 1t is stated that the Rev. H. w.
Meeres is acting as their literary
adviser.

Hague Peace Palace.

Said prominent architect: From
what l have picked up at the clubs
and about town, there will be at least
ten American bids for the Peace Pal
ace plans at The Hague for the Per-
manent Court of Arbitration. The
prizes are not large in money. but
some glory will attach to the design
er. The first prize is 10000 guilders,
equal to only about $4,000. All ex-
plantations are to be given in French.

The moon being much the nearest

Simon Newcomb in Harper's Maya

able of producing. We can hardly
suppose that SO small a quantity of
air could be OF any benefit whatever
In sustaining life; an animal that
could get along on SO little could get
along on none at all.
But the proof Of the absence OF life
Is yet stronger when we consider the
results OF actual telescope observa-
ton. An object such as an ordinary
city block could be detected on the
moon. II anything like vegetation

IN AsIATIC RUSSIA
PEOPLE OF SIBERIA ALERT AND
ENERGETIC.
Western Spirit More Prevalent There
Than in Any Part Of the Empire
Peasants Frequently the Possessors
Of Large Fortunes.

at is a startling paradox that Ash
attic Russia Is more western In Its
spirit than European Russian" writes
q traveller. THE great impetus Of
western energy and enterprise seems
to be circling the globe, having cross
ed the Atlantic. the American conti-
nent and the Pacific ocean. The trav-
eler from Europe begins to feel the
influence at Samara. great business
center on the Volga. the Mississippi
of Russia. Here there are signs OF
commercial prosperity-a hustle and
stir of business unusual In Russia. The
people are more alert and move with
greater energy. They are free from
the deadly torpor OF Russian life.
East! East! Farther east!' is the
cry all along the great Siberian line.
1t corresponds to going west in
America. The farther east one goes
the impression strengthens until, at
Kurgan, the first important Siberian
town, one might almost imagine ones
self to be in one OF the precocious
cities Of the western states.
Butter Is booming in Kurgan.
Everybody who can get hold OF a
COW is either making butter himself
or selling the milk to dairy. And
every drop OF. milk goes into the
churn or into the separator. The
children suffer. In the old days, when
wheat was the staple product, each
child had as much milk as it could
drink. But now the fluid is too pre-
cious for domestic use. and the popu-
lation live upon bread and tea. From
hundreds of versts around butter
comes pouring into Kurgan, and yet
the exporters cannot get enough. The
peasant arriving in town makes his
first call at the ONCE of the union.
There he can see list OF the latest
prices paid by each exporter. He
drives around to offer his butter. He
will visit every Arm in town before
he Will lower his price by kopeck
the pood. He demands cash payment
and receives it. On the other hand,
II he is purchasing machinery from
any Of these firms he demands year
or eighteen months credit. and he
receives that. too.
Many of these peasants are men
OF comparative wealth. Several were
pointed out to me as millionaires in
rubles. The younger generation are
displaying greater proclivities for
spending than do their elders. They
delight to drive smart and snowy
horses. and sometimes they will even
pay a visit to Moscow and see life.
The independence, intelligence and
initiative of these Siberian peasants
are doubtless due to the fact that
they have never been private serfs.
They were fixed upon the land. 1t is
true, but the land was crown domain.
and they could not be bought or
sold. They never experienced the
degrading and demoralizing domestic
slavery to which the private serfs
were subjected"

Commerce the Foe of war

The commercial union of the world
now in process of development and
proceeding in ever-increasing ratio OF
certainty and speed, through the ex-
tension of transportation lines and
the opening of regions that from the
birth of the race till now have lain
fallow, is making more and more alb
horrent the idea Of destructive and too
commonly fruitless contests, which
interrupt industry, reverse prosperity,
destroy enterprise. increase disease
and crime and burden the masses
with the obligations of sacrifice. Bet
ter yet is the growing tolerance which
Is felt by people Of one race and
faith for those whom bigotry and ira
dition have consigned as opponents

BIG PUBLISHER SUED.

Chicago, Oct. 1C.-The Peruna Drug
Manufacturing Company, manufactur.
ers Of a widely known proprietary med
icine, has brought suit in the Superior
Court OF the City of Chicago against
the Curtis Publishing Company of Phil
adelphia, alleging that 1t has been
damaged to the extent Of $250.000 by a
recent article in the Ladies' Home
Journal.
The suit is based on a statement re.
Gently made in that journal that a
testimonial as to the merit Of the rem
edy manufactured by the plaintiff, al
legged to have been given by Congress
man George H. White of South Caro-
lima, was fraudulent, denial from Mr..
White that he ever gave such a testi-
monial also being printed.
The Peruna company declares that
Congressman White did give the testi-
monial in good faith, and that 1t has
two original letters from Mr.. White. 1t
declares that Mr.. White was led to
repudiate the testimonial through a
misunderstanding.
This is the second large damage suit
that has been filed against the Curtis
Publishing company since it inaugur-
ated its attacks on Patent Medicines"
