WOMAN'S HORRIBLE DEATH
PORTLAND WOMAN ENDS HER
LIFE IN TRAGIC MANNER.
Saturates Her Clothing With Kerosene
and Applies the Match, Her Charred
Body Being Found by Her
Husband.

After building a bonfire of maya.
zines and papers in cabbage patch
near her home between midnight and
daylight of Sunday, Mrs. Charles
Hemmers saturated her clothes with
kerosene oil and, igniting them from
the fire, deliberately burned to death.
Mrs. Hemmers was the aged wife
Of farmer living at Orient, small
place lying few miles east of Port
land.
AS her husband was about to retire
Saturday, Mrs. Hemmers said she
wished to read while longer. When
Mr.. Hemmers arose Sunday he found
that his wife was not in her room,
and, supposing that she had gotten up
before him, the old man went out to
his cabbage patch to do some work
before breakfast. There he found the
wife's charred body lying in the ashes
of the fire which she had built.
Judging from the surroundings the
woman, after her husband went to
bed, made repeated trips to the place,
carrying the papers and magazines.
1t appears that she then saturated
herself with the kerosene and, bend.
ing over the pile of papers, ignited it
and allowed the flames to envelope
her body.
Mrs. Hemmers made a previous at.
tempt to kill herself few years ago in
the Sutro baths at San Francisco, Cal,
after having been deserted by for
mer husband. Ever since that event
she is said to have been a sufferer
from melancholia.

RiOTlNG IN WARSAW,
Troops Fire Upon Mob, Killing Four
and Wounding Forty.

'TooPS TIre upon MOD, kiIilng Four
and Wounding Forty.
A serious conflict occurred at 7:3O
o'clock Sunday evening in Dzika
street, Warsaw, where a Jewish So
cialist society, known as the Bund,
had organized demonstration. The
troops which came to dispense the
gathering fired into the crowd, killing
four men and wounding forty persons,
two of whom were women.
The trouble in Dzika street began
when, under the pretext of holding
memorial meeting for late Jewish
socialist leader, crowd of more than
1000, mostly Jews, carrying red flags,
marched into Dzika street and was
met by mixed police and military
patrol of twenty men. The police de.
clare the socialists fired revolvers at
them, the leaders melting the mob to
attack the patrol, which thereupon
fired several volleys into the crowd.
The crowd removed all except nine of
the wounded. These were taken to
the hospital. 1t is expected that two
Or more of the wounded will die. The
dead and wounded were all Jews. The
police made many arrests.

HYMNS OF A HIGH NUMBEE.
Curious Rule Prevails In the English
Church at Monte Carlo,

A curious fact anent the service
held in the English church at Monte
Carlo 10 that no hymn under thirty,
seven is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known.
1t Is as follows:
A member of the congregation, a
certain English peer, once went to
the rooms on Sunday, Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty-two, the mum.
Der of the last hymn. 1t turned up,
and the inspiration" was widely
talked about, as such things are in the
frivolous society of the principally.
The next Sunday the little church
was crowded and the last hymn being
a low number, an unseemly rush to
the rooms took place directly it was
announced. Curiously enough, the
number again turned up and the bank
was badly hit
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the "worshipers,"
but their intent was frustrated, as
all the hymns were "off the board
and have been so ever since.

white garments, and carrying light

case on the anniversary of the birth
OF her son, Edward vi. The ghost was
laid by the opening up of the stair

mother of Edward vi, is the most per-

disturbed in Hampton church her
gaunt figure in long gray robe has
walked the vicinity of her old rooms

One of the most isolated colonies

Of the earth is that on the island or
Tristan d'Acunha, which lies almost
midway between the Cape OF Good

island lies In such position that 1t

rarest visits from whaler and occa-

inhabitants number about seventy and
are descendants of sailors, castaways

island when it was garrisoned by a
company of British artillery during

VIRTUE OF PEAT BATHS.
Discovery Made by Poor Peasant on
the Coast Of Finistere.

tuC Soook W TtHtotCFGs
The discovery of the value of peat
baths was made accidentally many
years ago.
On the coast of Finistere there lived
at one time very poor family. The
father of the family eked out scanty
living by killing aged cattle and d.
vesting them of their skins. The re-
mains he sold to tanners and refiners.
or the three children which be-
longed to this couple one was a poor
creature. delicate and wretched, and
apparently nalf witted. The mother
was so ashamed of this offspring that
she could not bear to have the child
in her sight.
Consequently he spent most of his
time, half clothed and badly fed, roll
ing about in the peat boys which were
behind the cottage.
Little by little it was noticed that
the child was improving in health.
that his skin was becoming as fair
and soft as peach, his eyes bright
and his spirits and actions those of a
strong, healthy boy instead of a half.
witted little animal.
The old country physician on one
OF his rounds noticed the improved
condition of the boy and mentioned
that fact and the cause at a medical
conference in Paris.-New York Her.

and are transferring the bulk of their

the great distance involved, the plan

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY,

In the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent,
and clothing PAL. All these were prod
ucts of the farmer and stockman who
profited more than any other class of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from 1913 per ton
mile in 1897 to 1853 in 1903, a loss
of "A per cent. The report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average increase in the pay
of railroad employees in the period was
a tritle above S.5 per cent.
