Ill At Hospital.

Miss Mary Slaven, of Meadow
Dale, who three weeks ago, went
to Richmond. in company with her
father, to undergo an operation for
appendicitis, is in very critical
condition at the Memorial Hospital
Of that city.
The operation was performed two
weeks ago by DIR Johnson, and was
successful and satisfactory. Later,
however, other complications devel-
oped, which not only endangered
the life of the patient but retarded
or prevented healing.
Her progress toward recovery
was so unsatisfactory as to induce
her mother, on Sunday evenening.
to leaye for Richmond, and, to-day
Mrs E K Rodgers, an
only sister, is Fastening to join the
afflicted family.

WOMAN CHARGED WITH POISONING
Accusation of Murder Based on Examination
Of Dead Mans Stomach.

Worcester, Mass. May 11.-Nfrs Myra Bemis.
of Barre. was arrested at her home this morn
ing by State Detective Murray and Immediately
arraigned on a charge Of numbering former
employe. John Hammond. whose death occurred
under suspicious circumstances on November %.
1905 The case was continued until May -.
Mrs. Bems was brought to Worcester this af-
ternoon
Mrs Bemis is alleged to have murdered Ham
mond by poisoning him. Shortly after the mans
death she is said to have presented an order to
the Ware Savings Bank at Ware, directing that
institution to pay to her $1,000 standing in the
name of Hammond which was done. Hammond
was believed to have died from alcoholism. A
brother of the deceased man, David H Ham
mOnd, had the body of his brother exhumed last
December. and the stomach was removed and
sent TO Professor Whitney, OF Harvard. It is
understood that the arrest OF Mrs Bemis is
based upon report received by the District At
torneys Office from Professor Whitney.

CONFER ON CHARITIES.
Delinquent Girls and Reports of
State Boards Discussed.

Philadelphia May 1.-THE care OF the SICK the
work Of the societies for the prevention Of cruelty
to children the gathering of statistics pertaining to
charitable and correctional work and the care OF
defective persons and delinquents were among the
many subjects discussed at the sectional and gen.
eTal meetings to-day of the national conference OF
Charities and Correction. All the meetings were
well attended. and great interest shown in the
various topics under discussion. At a business
session OF the conference Minneapolis selected
as the next place Of meeting. The date will be
determined later
THE Delinquent Girl discussed at the morn
ing section meeting by Miss Vida H. Francis. OF
this city, who said, in part:
The radical difference in proportion between boy
and girl delnquents and in ratio Of the nature OF
crime committed by each win to illustrate
the point which ! most desire to emphasize that
other. The recent wonderful strides Of biological
psychology make it seem incredible that our
juvenile courts are still applying the same meth
ods OF reform to boys and girls. The judge of a
juvenile court has three courses open to him:
Ffrst-To send the girl back to her same environ
ment, under the care Of a prObationer.
Second-TO place her I'm a good home, through
the probationer some child placing agency.
Third-To send her to training school
The feature of the night session was the en-
phatic denial made by MOrnay Williams, or New
York, 10 criticisms made in the annual report Of
Edward T. Devine, president of the national COM
ference who is now in San Francisco directing the
vine related principally to alleged indifference and
ignorance Of managers and officers Of institutions
for the care Of children as TO the causes which
have led to the neglect Of the children in their
Mr.. Williams, who was speaking on THE Co
ordination of Child Helping Agencies said that
instead OF being indifferent or ignorant Of these
tiOns are fully aware Of the causes and making
a careful study of them.

GOLD At RIO.
It's Advantages as STANDARD TO Be
Discussed at Conference.

Washington May 1.-THE advantages OF the
gold standard as demonstrated In Mexico Pan
anna and the Philippines are to be brought to
the attention of the approaching Rio conference
as the result of a talk to-day between Secretary
Root and Charles A. Conant, Of New York, who
was a member OF the monetary commission
which studied the Oriental currency systems.
While there is no direct provision in the pro-
gramme for the conference relative TO the re-
spective merits Of gold, silver and paper cur
rencies, It was the opinion of the Secretary that
the subject might be broached, IL It were de-
srabIe under the general provision for the con-
sideration OF measures to promote commercial
relations"
The Mexican Ambassador believes that his
government will present report to tho con-
ference showing the good results following the
adoption by Mexico Of the gold standard. and a
similar report will doubtless come from Panama
Mr Kemmerer, lately connected with the Phil
ippine treasury. and now bound for America
viii present the report dealing with the merits
Of the gold standard employed in the archi-
peIago. 1t is said to be the intention merely to
present these reports to the conference with
view to informing the delegates Of the pOssi-
bilities of safely adopting the gold standard in
tropical countries but effort is to be made
10 force an agreement that would bind any coun-
try TO change its present system.
