The attack of pneumonia is compli-
Gated with other troubles.
Last night some young fellow, a
stranger in the city, overloaded him
self with dope at the Senate rooming
house and came very near shuffiing
off this mortal coil. Soon after re
firing to room for the night he
began taking cocaine or some other
similar poison in small doses, ac-
cording to the story of a man who
was occupying the same room. In
a short time the cocaine fiend became
unconscious and in a precarious con-
dition. Night Marshal Horton was
called and he summoned physician.
After working a good while with the
fellow. he was finally revived and
lodged in the city Jail until he could
get over the effects of the powerful
stimulant.

The Sugar Beet Industry.

There are fifty-four beet sugar
factories in the Omitted States" says
Henry Block, editor of the Syracuse
(Kan.) Journal. who gathered up
the Kansas beet sugar statistics for
the state board of agriculture. Last
year they manufactured los, S,135 tons
of standard granulated sugar. 1t
would require the output of four
hundred additional factories of 500
tons capacity to supply the demand
in this country. To pay for sugar
now imported we are sending abroad
nearly $125, 100000. The American
farmer is raising wheat yielding $40
per acre, which is being sent abroad
to pay for sugar which he consumes,
while perhaps much of the land up
on which this surplus wheat is grown
would produce sugar beets and yield
from s65 to S165 per acre. 1t is be-
ginning to grow very evident that
the semi-arid region where irrigation
is practiced, is the most promising
field for this new industry, and as
fast as population is sufficient to
supply the raw materila capital will
readily take hold of the opportunity
to invest in this very profitable in
dustry."

RELIC OF GEO. WASHINGTON
Shaving Table He Used Bought for
Mount Vernon for the Sum
Of $4,000.

Washington.-One more relic of
George Washington has been placed in
the mansion at Mount Vernon-the
shaving stand used by the general
every day for years. 1t Is handsome
mahogany table in remarkable state
of preservation. The table was pre-
sented to Gen. Washington by the first
French minister to thes United States.
The relic has been sold to the board
of regents by Mrs. Thomas c. Cox, of
this city, who inherited it. The price
she received, it is understood, was
$4,000. She delivered the stand in per-
son at the mansion the other day, and
it is now in the same room in which
it was used by Gen. Washington. The
table has the old-fashioned spindle
legs. There is a lid, and inside is a
mirror. There are, three drawers. In
one Gen. Washington kept his razors
Gen. Washington willed the table to
DR.. Davis Stuart, of Fairfax, Va, whose
first wife was Miss Washington. On
the death of DR.. Stuart the table was
handed down to William Robinson, fa-
ther of Mrs. Cox. .:r.,s+~~.:

Teeth NOT BONES AT ALL
They Are in Fact Part Of the Skin.
Says Professor Thompson in
Recent Address.

London.-Prof. e. Symes Thompson
Gresham, professor of medicine, in the
course Of an address at the Polytechnic,
Regent street, on THE Evolution and
Degeneration of the Teeth," remarked
that while the bones of man and
animals had decayed greatly during
the last 5000 or 1000 years, the teeth
had been preserved in a much better
fconditiUn.
Teeth were not part of bones, but part
of the skin-they were, in fact, dermal
|appendages. Old people were sur
prised to find that when the teeth of
the lower jaw departed there was very
little of the jaw left. This produced
what was called the nut-cracker
fphysiognomy. Referring to the fact
that the crocodile had an animated
toothpick in the form of bird, which
removed foreign matter, the lecturer
|enforced the lesson of the necessity of
ATTENDING carefully to the cleansing Of
the teeth and recommended attention
to them at night as being more i'm
portant than in the morning.

TEACH THE RICH BEHAVIOR
Man and Wife Establish School in
London for Backward Eng
lish Millionaires.

London.-The problem of educating
those who know how to make money
up to point of learning how to spend
it, engages the attention of MARINA
duke" in Truth. And to this end q
school for backward millionaires is
proposed.
my wife andI," writes the origina-
tor of the scheme, "are prepared to
teach them how to dress, how to be-
have, how to pronounce words and
names, how to amuse themselves intel
ligently, and whom to know and to
avoid. In other words. we will convey
to them for fee of $4,000 year much
of the information which we have ac-
Quired by education and experience"
The promoter of the scheme classes
"two-thirds of the most prominent
men and women in England" among
those still in need of education. He
recommends pointed method of in
struction. "The course would occupy
three years, and in that time we
should teach the most backward mil
lionaire much that it has taken us ten
years at scho and college and ten in
society to learn"

WOMAN sELoPES IN SPELL
Claims Man with Whom She Fled was
Veritable Svengali--Husband
Forgives Her. ~-r

Olean, N. Y:-Pleading to her hus-
band that she was the victim of q
hypnotist with whom she had fled
from her home in Lansing, Mich, Mrs.
w. w. Thorburn, the handsome wife
of DR.. Thorburn, a well-known vet
erinarian, has been restored to him in
Vandermark Hollow, a small settlement
close to Port Allegheny, near here,
after a search covering several weeks.
Mrs. Thorburn was found to have
been the companion of the man with
whom she had fled, William Belcher,
alias William Fuller, by Detective
Abel, of Lansing, with the assistance
of the local police. The husband was
at once sent for. and on his arrival the
wife made pathetic plea to be taken
back home. She said that she had
been hypnotized by Belcher and that
she was unable to resist him when he
urged her to accompany him.
After leaving Lansing last March
Mrs. Thorburn stated that she shipped
her belongings to Olean under the
name of William F. Fuller and joined
the latter in his home in the Hollow.
She had not been there long, however,
before the hypnotic effect began to
wear off and she wanted to return.
A reconciliation was effected, and
DR.. Thorburn went back to Lansing
with his wife, Belcher took to the
woods soon after he learned officers
were in search OF him.
Belcher was a former resident OF
Bells Run, where his father was post
master. He disappeared from the place
simultaneously with Mrs. Cleveland
and is known to have exercised a
strange power over women. He is
about IS years old, bald except for a
little white hair and a sandy mus.

TURTLE HAS HISTORY.
REPTILE WAS PET OF INDIAN
PRINCESS 400 YEARS AGO.
Shelled Monster with Hieroglyphics
on Back Is Caught in Minnesota
Find Cross Embedded
in Tortoise Covering.

LIE Sueur, Minn.-The largest turtle
ever caught in the Minnesota: river
anywhere near here was landed re-
Gently half mile south of town by
Harry Thurman, and it develops that
the gigantic reptile must have had a
romantic history and at some time
in the dim past must have been the
plaything or curio of an Indian or a
mound builder prince or princess. d.,
The upper shell, or carapax, was
little less than three feet long and
a little over two feet wide, and as
soon as the animal was caught it was
observed that there was strange ap-
pearance as of cross on the shell,
the raised lines which constituted it
crossing at right angles in the center
of the shell and being about eight
inches in length, the one from side to
side being slightly the shorter
Young Thurman killed the tortoise
and then cut into the cross on the
shell to see why the, lines should ibe
there. He was much astonished ito
find that the knife struck on metal
slightly below the surface and ON
full investigation being made it was
discovered that the cross was made by
the shell having grown over a chain
of gold which had been fastened to the
lodges of the turtles shell undoubtedly
more thans 200 years ago, when the tur-
tie was only as large as indicated by
the size of the cross. and that in the
years that have elapsed since, then the
shell had grown over the chain and
covered it up.
The fine rings on the she'll, when ex-
amined by microscope, numbered 2O7
outside of where the chain was fastened,
at the edges where it was attached more
than two centuries ago. In the center,
where the chains cross, both are fas-
tened to small medallion of gold on
which is engraved the profile of woman,
looking much like young Indian girl.
Thurman probably will present the
curio to the State Historical society.
