TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE
STARVING WOMAN AND
CHILD in CHICAGO
Driven Insane by Her Fearful Suffer-
ings, the Unfortunate Woman Was
Finally Sent to Hospital Slept In
Alleys With Child for Months.

Chicago, April is. Raying ane
shrieking il, the throes Of irlsanit,
brought about BY starvation, Paulin;
Foley, carrying an infant at her breast
entered the drug store at MAY. anc
West Randolph street and. after caus.

terror, was finally turned over to ttls
police.
AS soon as a physician saw the wol11.
an, whose sitnken cheeks, lIisterless
eyes, tangled hair, bcgrinled visage, and
ragged clothing tagged her as poverty's
own, he became convinced that her ac-
tions were not due to the indulgence in
liquor
He ordered her taken to the county

said one Of the hospital attendants. She
must have been wandering the streets
and sleeping in alleys and barrels from
her locks. The child will probably live,
although it was almost starved when
brought TO the hospital. z
The Foley woman was placed in one
of the wards at the hospital and tile
baby was put into CRIB beside hei.
After some light food. in liquid. form,
had been administered to the woman,
and the child had been cared for. they
both sank into a deep sleep.
Police investigation of the woman 8
cancer brought to light that for months
the woman has had no place Of abode
and had been sleeping in barns, sa-
looms or any other place which would
shelter her.
The hardships Of such an existence,
i ii is believed, finally turned lier mind,
The child she carried with her was
born last fall, and she carried it about
with her ali winter.
AT the hospital ii was said that the
woman would recover. She will prob
ably be sent to some charitable institus
ton as soon as she is able 10 leave the

.DEPEW MAY

NEW YORK SENATOR
ss MAY RESIGN SOON


Albany. N. Y, April I8.-The report
has been persistent in legislative circles
that the resignation Of Chauncey M.
Depew from the United States senate
will be received at Albany within a few
days. The basis of it seems to be the
return of Mrs. Depew from Europe on
Saturday for the alleged purpose OF
urging the senator to resign and go
abroad in the hope of recovering his
shattered health. . ...e -

DEPARTMENT OPPOSED
TO SEED DISTRIBUTION

Washington, ID. G. April I8.-As th.
impression prevails in some quarter:
that Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
and the officials Of his department favor
a continuance Of the congressional fres
distribution of common garden seeds
an inquiry was addressed to DR.. B. T
Galloway, chief Of the bureau of PLAN
industry, to (which DIR. Galloway Re:
piled:
The views Of this department, with
reference to the distribution of iliiscel-
laneons vegetable and flower seeds have
been quite clearly set forth from time
to time in our various reports. The
attitude of the department was very
clearly stated by the secretary iii his
report for 1908, extract from which
send enclosed.
The extract referred to says Witll
regard TO the securing and distributing
of miscellaneous gardei, and flower
seeds, the fact remains that this work
does not accomplish the ends for which
the law was originally framed There
are collected. put Up and distributed
now, on congressional orders, nearly
4oooo,ooos packets Of miscellaneous veg
etable and flower seeds each year. These
seeds are the best that can Be obtained
in the market, but from the fact that
large numbers of packets are wanted,
the seed obtained can be of standard
sorts only, such as are to Be found
everywhere for sale in the open mar
ket.
AS there IS no practical object to
be gained I'M distributing this kind Of
seed, it seems very desirable that some
change be made To this end, it would
seem wise to limit Our work entirely
to the securing and distributing Of seeds
plants. etc, Of new and rare sorts
This is a line of work that would
result in very mitch more value to in
dividnal districts throughout the coun-
try than the distribution Of a large
qtiantity Of common varieties of garden
seed which have no particular merits
SO tar as newiless Of promise are .con4
cerned.
Those members Of congress who are
still hanging on to free seeds, are
defending their position BY asserting
that the farmers want them. This
position appears untenable from The FACT
that the National Grange, at ifs last
annual convention, iii Portland, Ore.
vigorously condemned the free seed
appropriation, as have the state oranges
of Illinois. New York and other states.

GEORGIA MEDICS

Augusta, Ga, April IS.-Physicians
from all parts Of the state are in at
tendance at the annual convention OF
the Georgia State Medical association,
which opened here today. DIR. w. z.
Holiday is the presiding officer Among
those present are many of the most
prominent physicians Of the state and
many Of them will deliver addresses or
read technical papers during the three
days Of the convention.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1906-04-18

the contention that the farmers want
the seeds IS disproven by their value.
he seed for the 100000 packets cost
10000, so that the seed in each pack
ct costs two and a quarter mills, the
package of FIVE packets aggregating in
value one and a quarter cents Farmer
votes come cheap at this price Of a
cent and quarter each, and it is not
strange they resent the imputation.

ROCK ISLAND MUSICIAN
Is GAINING IN FAVOR
Mrs. r. n. Brandt, Now Located at
Boise, Idaho, SoIcist at Concert
for Irrigation Delegates.

Mrs. F. II. Brandt, who was Miss
Pauline Woltmann, formerly Of this
city, has gained instant favor at her
home in Boise, Idaho. to which city
she has recently removed. Mrs. Brandt
was one of the soloists at testimonial
concert given Sept. to the delegates
of the National Irrigation congress in
session in that city last week. The
Boise Statesman, in speaking of the
concert and of Mrs. Brandt's work,
says:
The symphony orchestra concert
given in honor OF the delegates to the
irrigation congress at the Riverside
threaten last evening was q revelation,
not only to the visitors from abroad,
>but TO the tOwnspeople as well. The
splendid ensemble, the perfect unison
and harmony were delight to all. Mrs.
F. III. Brandt's first number, ''Liete
Signor," from L'Huguenots, revealed
her marvellous contralto voice to per
lection. Her clear, deep tones com
pIetely filled every corner of the i'm
mense open-air theater, which is SO diff
ficult for a singer accustomed to a
closed building to sing in. She was
encored repeatedly until she was oblig
ed to sing a second number, choosing
God Is In His Heaven; AIS Well.
Her last selection, dainty Irish ballad
Sweet Is Tipperary,' was completely
captivating, and she received two en-
cores.
The immense audience completely
packed the house. the boxes being fill !
ed with the officers and local board of
the congress. their wives and friends. |
1t was brilliant assemblage of peo-
pie. who thoroughly appreciated the
treat which had been arranged for |
them"
