AWFUL TRAGEDY
IN INSANE ASYLUM
Patient Seizes Knife and Kills Two
Female Inmates.
FATALLY WOUNDED A KEEPER

Scranton. Pa, July l9. - A terrible
tragedy was perpetrated in the Hill
side Home. when one Of the insane pa
tients killed two Of the inmates and
mortally wounded one Of the keepers.
The murderer is lgnatz Krewzyp.
deaf and dumb Pole who was not re-
garded as dangerous. He was given
work in one OF the wards with two
women, also insane patients. Mrs. Ann
Golden, a widow. aged % years. and
Missouri An Vanvalen. aged So years.
The three were moving some cots I'M
der the direction of Keeper Richard
Davies. who left the room momentarily.
Selling the opportunity afforded by the
keepers absence. the insane man ran
into the doctors Office and there picked
up an amputation knife. with a blade
about 10 inches long. and ran upstairs
to the upper floor. Al the top OF the
stairway he met Floyd Beemer, the son
of the superintendent, and George
Paine. a cadet OF West Point. with two
young ladies. seeing the home. When
they saw the crazy Pole. armed with
the knife. running in their direction.
they thought retreat the better part OF
valor. and escaped down the stairs and
notified the keeper. Davies hurried
after the Pole and made motions that
he wanted the knife. He also motioned
20 him TO sit down on lounge and he
obeyed. Just as Davies thought that he
was going TO hand the weapon over to
him. the Pole made a vicious lunge with
the knife and buried IL in the keepers
chest The two young men happened
20 witness the attack upon Davies and
gave warning to the other keepers. TWO
keepers carried Davies to the surgery.
while Beemer and Paine followed the
Pole. Beemer secured chair and car
ried II aloft. expecting to meet the Pole
every moment They tracked him to
the room where he had been at work
with the women. and arrived TO find
him numbering both. He stabbed Mrs.
Golden twice In the chest. the knife
piercing her entire body twice. and then
stabbed Mrs. vanvalen once. Beemer
promptly struck the Pole with the
chair and succeeded in knocking the
knife out of his hand. Both women died
soon afterwards
Mrs. Golden lived in Elkdale. and
had been an inmate of the home for
nine years. Mrs Vanvalen was "A resi-
dent of Scranton. and had been in the
home for four years.
Krewzyp is 80 years Of age. and was
one OF the most powerful inmates OF
the institution. weighing about 1Sh
pounds. While not employed as a
trusty and given the freedom OF the
grounds. he had been given work cry
day In the insane departmental. re
garded a. thoroughly inoffensiye and
harmless. The superintendent cannot
explain why he should have been sub
ject TO such a violent and sudden pas
sion. After the deed was committed
he jabbered in a vehement manner. and
no sign or motion could be obtained
from him. He Is now raving maniac.
Davies Is not expected to live He is n
brother OF Lieutenant OF Police John
Davies OF this city. and has number
OF relatives in Philadelphia and Potts

The Power of Faith.

to the quality of this thought IS II
made noble or ignoble. Let one liz
up his heart. Let him realize tnat
it rests within his own choice to be
a paytaker of the divine life. Let
him realize that as q, partaker in tnat
life he shares in the invincibleness OF

things through Christ which strength

A NeW-OiQ BuliulnS MaseFiai.
Skyscrapers, sidewalks, bridges.
fence posts, dams, roofing tiles, teie-
graph poles, railroad ties, residences,
piles, chimneys-these are a few of
the uses to which concrete has been
successfully put within the last few
years, writes D. N. Harper. In 1890
the total production of Portland ce
ment in the United States was 1885,
600 barrels. Last year over 30,000,'
600 barrels were produced, an in
crease of nearly 10000 per cent. in
fifteen years. That marks the
growth of the concrete industry in
the same period-for cement is the
essential element in concrete.
Yet, lest modern constructing en-
gineers take too much credit to
themselves for the miracles they
have accomplished, it may be well to
remind them that the ancient Ro-
mans, in 27 B. c., built Of concrete
the famous Pantheon, which is still
one of the sights Of the imperial city,
and the splendid dome of which is
practically a solid concrete she'll.
Surely no building material could
hope for a better demonstration of
its durability than that.-Technical

A farmer says:

1T was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more l suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble;
they were caused by the use OF col
fee until I got so bad l had to give
ND coffee entirely and almost give up
eating. There were times when
could eat only boiled milk and bread
and when I went to the field to work
I had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
q doctored with doctors and took
almost everything l could get for my
stomach in tte way Of medicine, but
if got any better it only lasted i
little while until l was almost
walking skeleton.
"One day read an ad. for Postum
and told my wife l would try it, and
as to the following facts I will make
affidavit before any judge:
II quit coffee entirely and used
Postum in its place. l have regained
my health entirely and can eat any
thing that is cooked to eat. 1 have
increased in weight until now l
weigh more than ever did; 1 have
not taken any medicine for my stom-
ach since l began using Postum.
Why, 1 believe Postum will almost
digest an iron wedge.

at first, but they saw the effects it
had on me and when they were feel

Lingerie Breakfast Jacket.

The Breakfast jacket is a delight
full garment at all seasons OF the
year, but especially so during the
warm months. Here is one that Is
suited to all the lawns, muslins and
materials of the like and which can
be varied in several.way so that it
practically becomes two or three in
place of one. In the illustration i
is made Of dotted batiste and 10
trimmed with 3rills and landings Of
embroidery, the neck being finished
with a big collar, but if something
simpler is desired the collar can be
omitted and the neck can be finished
either in V-shape or cut out to form
a small square. Again, in place Of
confining the entire jacket at tho
waist line, the fulness at the back
can be held by a band on the under
side while the fronts arc left free.
The jacket consists Of the fronts
and back. The back is plain but the
fronts are tucked at their upper
edges, these tucks providing becon-
ing fulness below the stitchings.
When the collar is used it finishes
the neck, but when it is omitted a
band of trimming can be applied
over the edge. The sleeves are in
elbow length and can be finished
either with the frills as illustrated
or with bands.
