and another struck her in the knee.
The surgeons say the wounds are not
necessarily fatal but 1t will be a
day or two before her condition can
be determined
Fisher, after committing the crime,
went to his own house at 923 Hogan
street, where he cody went to bed
and to sleep.
Fisher was found in bed shortly
before o'clock yesterday morning
by officer Walter Lawson. The po-
lice found the man sleeping with his
son. -.
Fisher pretended ignorance of the
he was arrested.
You know all right. You were
drunk last night wasn't your
NO" replied Fisher, Il wasn't
drunk"
We'll, get up and put on your
clothes. The chief will tell you what
you're wanted for"
AS Fisher picked up his pants, a
3S caliber revolver dropped out of
one of the pockets.
What are you doing with that
revolver"
ooh, l just had it. l had it out
last night, but it wouldn't work." was
the cool response Of the man.
More than this Fisher would not
say. At the police station he re-
fused to talk about the shooting un-
til he could see a lawyer.
Later in the day he sent for Harry
Rosenhaupt, and under instructions
declined to talk about the case.

Shot twice by her brutal husband,
with the blood pouring from her
wounds, weak from pain and loss of
blood, Mrs. Herman Fisher, wife of
a painter, lay for hours on a rough
blanket thrown on the floor in the
home of a frightened couple, and
then, with no assistance, and believ-
ing she was about to die, crawled on
her hands and knees to neighbors
to knock on the door and ask for a
doctor.
The sufferings of the woman, her
neglect by the neighbors to whom
she first applied for help and the
surroundings of the bloody crime
make a story, horrifying in it's de-
tails
Mrs. Fisher was shot about mid
night Saturday night by her husband
under conditions the most cruel
The woman had left her husband
because of his cruelty and for a
month had been living in house at
Third avenue and Hatch streets.
saturday msht she attended the
theater and on arriving home about
1870 o'clock found her husband wait
ing for her.
Fisher demanded that she return
to his home threatening to kill her
and himself If she did not obey. The
woman told her husband that she
would rather die than live with him
again.
The lamp burning on the table
was about to go out because of a
lack of oil. AS Mrs. Fisher arose

COURTS FULL OPINION
IN THE MERGER CASE

court below is directed to dismiss the
bill. The mandate was stayed until
April II.
The opinion of the court holds that
there is no ground in equity or JUS
tice or public policy for the forced re-
turn of stock delivered to the secur-
tiles company and that a ratable dis
tribution was not in violation of pub
lie policy. A forced sale of several
hundred millions of stock would have
involved disastrous results.

from her chair to refill the lamp,
Fisher told her to remain seated
saying:
Stay where you are. When that
light goes out your life goes out with
it."
Trembling and dazed by her danger
the poor woman sat watching the
thin Pickering flame which was to
mark her death.
AS the flame sputtered and died
out Fisher drew revolver and fred.
One shot struck the woman who ran
from the room screaming. A fusi-
lade of shots followed and second
bullet struck her.
Mrs. Fisher ran to a neighbors
house, the Russian couple, named
Hoffman. There she told her story
but the Hoffmans were afraid to go
out of the house believing Fisher
to be about. They threw a blanket
on the floor and told the wounded
woman she could lay there.
Helpless and suffering from her
wounds Mrs. Fisher sank down on
the hard floor where she lay for some
time. Believing her only hope lay in
securing the services of a doctor, she
finally crawled on her hands and
knees to another neighbor where a
telephone message was sent for DR..
NJ. F. Settlers, who had the woman
removed to the Sacred Heart hospi-
tai. There, assisted by DR.. Cunning

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.


! 1t is easy to keep well if we only
observe each day few simple rules
of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary to diet or to follow a
set rule or bill of fare. Such pampeer-
ing simply makes capricious appe-
tite and feeling that certain favorite
articles of food must be avoided.
Prof, Fiechold gives pretty good ad-
vice on this subject; he says "I am 6s
years old and have never had a seri-
Gus illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one,
but early discovered that the way to
keep healthy was to keep n healthy
stomach, not by eating bran crackers
or dieting of any sort; on the contrary
L always eat what my appetite Graves
but daily for the past eight years /
have made it a practice to take one
or two Of Stuart g Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal and ] attribute my ro-
bust health for man Of my years to
the regular daily use Of Stuart s Tab
let's.
Ny physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were per
fectly harmless and were not secret
patent medicine, but contained only
the natural digestives, peptones and
diatese, and after using them a few
weeks / have never ceased to thank
him for his advicee.
/ honestly believe the habit Of tax
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals is the real health habit, be-
cause their use brings health to the
sick and ailing and preserves health
to the well and strong"
Men and women past fifty years Of
age need a safe digestive after meals
to insure a perfect digestion and to
ward of disease, and the safest, best
known and most widely used is Stu.
art 5 Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well reg
ulated household from Maine TO Cali

The biggest Ship Afoat.

The Baltic was built primarily with
a view to securing enormous freight
capacity, although she has excellent ac-
commodations for passengers. This
steamship embodies the same prlnci-
pies as the Celtic and the Cedric, also
belonging to the White Star Line. She
Is one of the few vessels now afioat
which are longer than they are. The
length of the Celtic and her twin Sis
ter is 700 feet. The Oceanic surpasses
them by four feet. the Kaiser Wilhelm
by six and a half, and the Baltic by
twenty-five. 1t is easy to understand
therefore, that in respect to displace-
ment the Baltic is practically without
rival. Although the two freight
stamers built at New London for Mr.
Hilrs use on the Pacific are much
shorter, they are deeper than any OF
the vessels just named, and perhaps
they will carry as much freight as thu
new White Star liner. Unfortunately
however, they are not now running
The Baltic, then, has the honor of be
ing the biggest ship in actual service
on any sea.-New York Tribune.
