managing his: salary for him is pros

over to his wife, I set him down as getting along
well. He has started on the right road to get
rich, for in nine cases out of ten he is saving
something. And "a fact which he is apt to over
look is that if he only spends little less than
he makes, he is bound to get rich A woman
who manages her husband $ salary will help him
to do this nearly every time, as women are
meaner. than men Some men find it impossible
to save money, andsa man has gotsto spend less
than he makes before he can beginEto get along.

Taylor, by striking her blow on the head
cember 20, 1904, at premises 1913 26th street.
but the death of the woman did not occur
ur.til last June.
The defendant was formerly a school
teacher In Virginia. 1t seems that he and
his wife had q disagreement and the de-
ceased announced that either she or her
husband would have to leave the 26th street
house According to the defendant, his
wife had packed a satchel and was about
to depart when he took hold Of the satchel
and endeavored to detain her. Thereupon
she grabbed a butcher knife and slashed
him in the throat. AS she was about to
make a second lunge at him. he reached
lor declares that previously hts wife had
threatened to kill him.
The injured woman was taken to George
town University Hospital, and later to the
Washington Asylum Hospital. In June she
was removed to the home Of her mother,
1717 Seaton street, and died day or two
after her arrival there.
Taylor contends that he struck the blow
in self-defense. 1t will also be argued that
the woman was in no condition to be re-
moved from the hospital at the time she
was taken to her mothers house.
Attorneys George P. Hoover, Robert w.
Wells and Otis B. Drake appear for the de-
PENDANT. The prosecution is being conduct

ENTIRELY DESTROYED
HOUSE OF DIR. WILLIAM GRAY
BURNED TO THE GROUND.

The beautiful suburban home OF DR.. VIE
liam Gray, at Chevy Chase. was discovered
to be In flames shortly after o'clock this
morning and burned to the ground before
the fire was extinguished. The building
was not only totally demolished, but the en-
tire contents OF the house were also de-
stroyed and DR.. Gray, his wife and two
children barely escaped being seriously
burned The loss sustained Is about $4,000,
including the value both of furniture and
house. This is Offset by $1,000 insurance on
the dwelling. A policy which DR.. Gray car
ried on his household effects for many years
was permitted to lapse recently and he can
recover nothing from this source.
The servant girl, shortly after making
fire this morning, preparatory to getting
breakfast, emptied a pile of hot ashes In
the cellar near several sticks OF klndlins
wood The wood ignited al once, the upper
framework was set afire and burned like
chaff. The entire first story of the building
was soon in flames and the occupants OF
the house were awakened by the fumes OF
smoke from the floor beneath where the
fire was raging.
An alarm was sounded from box 7S9, and
the Tenleytown fire department responded
as quickly as possible, though 1t was too
late to be of service. Before the arrival of
the fire department the local fire depart
ment at Chevy Chase got together In full
force and formed bucket brigade. The
heroic efforts put forth by the citizens how
ever, were fruitless, for the fire could not
be controlled.
Mr.. j. L. Ridgway of the geological sur
vey, next-door neighbor of DIR. Gray's, and
also Mr.. karr Of the State Department. who
owns home nearby, were among the first
to enter the burning structure, endeavoring
TO save few of the valuables. DR.. Gray's
extensive library could not be saved When
fireman made an effort to enter the room
he was almost smothered by the smoke.
DR.. Gray spoke in the highest terms Of
the indefatigable efforts Of the f1remen after
their arrival When 1t became evident that
the house was beyond saving, they turned
sneir attention to saving whatever they
could. but owing to the Roadway Of the
flames but little was saved. DR.. and Mrs.
Gray and two children were fortunate 10
escape being burned and had to make their
escape to the street in their night garments.
They found refuge In the home of a neigh
Dor.
Had there been stiff northwest wind
blowing there would have been great dan
ger of the destruction Of Mr.. Ridgway's
dwelling. which is close to that OF DR..
Gray. The only danger was from the large
sparks which fell upon the roofs of near
by houses. The fire this morning is said
to be the first destructive blaze in Chevy
Chase for five years.
