PiTrsBuRG. Oct. SILT h the hrm
conviction OF every one who IL In touch
with the case that while q charge OF
murder has been lodged against Nor
ris Nathan. secretary 20 the manager
Of the shepherd King company. In
connection with the winthrvp suit case
mystery. he ID not the principal In the
affair and IL held because 10 is believed
be can throw more light on the crime
than any one else.
That the police have a complete story
from Nathan. telling all he knows and
suspects. In not denied. but aside from
q few statements that have leaked out
concerning the examination the author
lite. r-fus. TO disclose IN. Information
obtained until after the arrival of the
Boston officers. The police say that
the publication sooner OF Natbans sto-
~ might interfere with the purposes
Of the Boston authorities
The determination Of whether Na.
than will he requested 60 return 10
Boston II also postponed pending these
officers arrival.
II II known that Nathan admitted 20
Superintendent OF Detectives Thomas
A. McQuaide and Superintendent Of
Police Alexander Wallace that he was
intimate with Miss Geary. and In his
statement he implicated a woman who.
he says. conducted q maternity home
In fremont street. Boston. The Boston
police were Immediately notified by
McQuaide. and they started out Ia
search Of the womaL. When they have
arrested the woman who conducted
the place where Miss Geary went for
treatment the police believe that the
mystery will be- cleared up. Nathan
said he was not responsible for Miss
Geary going TO a hospital.
That the crime was done by q wo-
man Ii the belief OF the police officials
No hardened criminal, they say, would
have disposed Of the body by cutting
II up and packing n In q suit case and
then allowing the case 10 float.
The authorities believe that Nathan
was unaware Of the murder Of the girl
and that he had no part In that crime.
but they seem TO think that he Is re-
sponsible for her receiving treatment.

OUNCE OF PREVENTION.
Resident Of Bennington Urges Greater Precau
ton At Opera House.

Mr. Editor:-An ounce of prevention
Is worth pound Of cure. As q pat
ron OF the local opera house l woIid
like to offer suggestion to secure
the safety of the people in case of q
fire or panic. In the first place my
judgment would be to mark the es
capes by red lights and have an usher
or other attendant made responsible
for their readiness and In a position
to throw them open on the instant. In
the second place to stop cigarette or
other smoking in the vestibuie or LOBBY.
This is not only dangerous but offen-
sive to the patrons as we'll, at any event
there should be officers in the en-.
trance way to insure safety. The man.
agement ought to attend to these small
affairs at once and il they do not the
authorities should see that 1t is done.

ed on the track, and the forward cars
bore the brunt Of the shock. None Of
the passengers In the sleeping cars was
hurt. The day coach in front Of the
chair car furnished the greatest num-
Der Of killed and injured.
The great natural wall Of rough
stone into which the cars were thrown
tore the sides OF the day coaches, and
passengers were ground against the
wall and either killed or badly injured.
One Of the first bodies removed was
that Of the dining car porter, Randolph
Richardson. When killed he was pass

thrown In such a way that one leg was
damned into the broken stove In con-
tact with the live Goals. He was SO
covered with debris that he could not
get out, and his foot was burned 80
badly that 1t had to be amputated.

CHILDREN IN THE HOME.

They Bring Anxiety, but Very Much
More Comfort. :
The children Of the family-one is
apt to look on them as burdens, both
e1s and expenses.
When the baby comes, be it ever so
welcome, the mother has more work to
do. As it grows into childhood and on
to maturity it is more and more care,
worry and expense
: And so the little children, those limo.
cent trespassers, are borne with as pa.
uently al possible until they grow to
4 successful manhood or womanhood.
Few stop to think deeply about this,
or it would be plainly seen how erro-
neous the impression.
The children Of the family, instead
Of being burdens, are burden bearers:
small saviors who are daily means Of
grace, and who lead the world worn
parents once more into the paths of in
nocence and peace.
A baby's tiny hand clasped around
his mothers finger has stilled heart
throbs Of sorrow and of bitter trouble:
4 baby's arms around his fathers neck
have brought to the mans weary brain
q renewal Of that love which is all
that makes life livable.-Philadelphia

THE HAIR COMB.

II Wa In Remote Times Used In
Religious CereuoDles.
It would be curious to know what

tached to the simple act Of comb1nx
the hair. We learn from old church
records that the hair Of the priest OF
bishop was combed several times dur
Ing services BY one Of the inferior cler'

oigpided no one knows. The comb is
also mentioned a. one Of the imple'
ments used during high mass, but only
when sung by a bishop. Mass combs

some European churches, though they
are Of no use in modern ceremonies.
Besides the gold and silver combs. the
poorer churches had them Of ivory,
iron, horn and even wood. Combs espe'
cially known to antiQuarlans are those
Of st. Neot, st. Dunstan and st. NAL
achias. That formerly belonging to St.
Thomas. the martyr Of Canterbury, Is
st1ll kept in the church at Thetford;
that Of st. Cuthbert, the woman hat.

From sundry references in old leg

lions and from it, appearance In COM

BLOWING OUT A CANDLE.
The Eject . Pun Of Breath Has on
the Flame.

The Eject . Pun Of Breath Has on
the Flame.
A burning candle is gas manufac-
tory on a small scale. The wax or
tallow is converted by the heat Of the
fame into gas, and in that form en-
ters into chemical combination with
the oxygen of the surrounding air.
This chemical union causes q very
high rise in temperature in the ele-
ments concerned. In fact, 1t produces
what we know as flame Of fire, which
n simply the white hot molecules Of
carbon and oxygen. The gas making
process Is started by the match in
lighting the candle and is afterward
continued by the flame itself.
Our breath acts In three way: a. It
carries away the particles Of gas bodi-
". e. 1t lowers their temperature at
the same time, 80 that they are no
longer capable Of entering into chem
1cal union with the oxygen. 81 The
breath contains carbonic acid gas.
which is incapable Of supporting COM
bustion and so helps to extingulsh the
fame,

Chorus Girls and the Peera9e.
An epidemic Of matrimony with cho-
run girls has broken out again In the
British peerage. Three young lords
and. marquis are depicting the stage
o. the same theater. Contrary to the
recent announcement by the solicitor
Of another peer that a. soon as he had
mafried IN American heiress his debts
would be paid, these theatrical ALI
ances can have no financial motive.
Yet the chorus girl marriages seem to
turn out 40 well az those arranged on
purely business principles, and mar
llages out Of their own circle keep the
British peerage more virile than the
continental nobility. with their inter-
mlnlble quarter1ngs.
