LETTER THAT NEVER CAME.
"To Hell With the Law, Senate
Chamber, Washington, D. c.
Not Delivered.
Washington Cor. State.
"To Hell With the Law,
Senate Chamber,

Washington, D. c."
This is the way an old Union soldier
addressed letter at Lafayette, Ind,
few days ago and posted it in the
mail box, intending that it should be
delivered to Senator Benjamin R.
Tillman. The old soldiers name is
James F. Campbell Of the old SOL
diers' home. He was incensed at the
speech Senator Tillman made at Chi
cago. He wrote a scorching letter to
South Cardinals rip-roaring senator
and calculated that he would blunt
some Of the prongs on the pitchfork.
But the letter so far has not been
delivered and will not be-.
Soon after Campbell posted his let
ter he told: some Of the authorities
about it and they made him take i'm
mediate steps to prevent its delivery.
The postal officials here have beea
looking for it everywhere, but they
have not found it. Inquiry. was made
at the dead letter Office, but it has
not turned up there. 1t is thought
by some to be in the hands Of the su-
perintendent of mails, but others are
of the opinion that some clerk espied
the unusual address and the letter
never left the State Of Indiana.

CHRISTMAS TREES.
The Vermont Woods Stripped to Sup
ply the Great Demand.

Montpelier Dispatch to New York
World.
The annual devastation of the for
ests Of Vermont to provide Christmas
trees upon which Santa Claus may
hang his gifts in city homes is now
in progress and the yearly protest IS
being raised by those who see danger
to the State in the indiscrlmlnate
slaughter.
It is estimated that the harvest this
wear will be even greater than last
when 100000, of young spruees,
balsams, and hemloek were taken
from the woods. These trees running
in height from two feet to fifteen, are
cut by mountain farmers and their
children and are sold for 2 cents
apiece to buyers from New York, Bot
ton. Albany and other cities.
The trees are hauled to the nearest
road where the buyers inspect them
and discard about 60 per cent. This
waste in the past ten years has
amounted to nearly 100000 trees.
Had these been allowed to grow ex-
perts employed by the State estimate
that their value would have reached
into the millions. Despite these aston
fshine figures which were furnished
to farmers year ago, the emitting
gees on, and probably will continue
until It IS. no hnger profitable to
esther the trees For market.

WOMAN'S FATAL FALL
TWO OTHER SIMILAR SUICIDES
AT A PRIVATE sANAToRIUM.

NEW YORK, December 12.-Mrs. Cora
Thomas. forty-two years old. jumped out OF
a front window on the fourth floor OF Dr.
Josephine Shermans sanatorium at No. 126
East Goth street at o'clock yesterday at
ternoon and was dashed to death on the
sidewalk This Is the third suicide at the
sanatorum within year, man having
jumped from the same window nearly
year ago and a young woman from a rear
window
Mrs. Thomas had been suffering from
melancholia and had been In the sanatorium
a week. She was continually watched by
nurse. Mrs. Louise Thompson, but DR..
Sherman said that she was not considered
a dangerous patient.
The nurse was with Mrs. Thomas yester-
day afternoon, when the latter suddenly
rose from her chair and moved toward the
closed window. saying she would like TO see
the street. Her manner alarmed the nurse
and she put her hand on the patients
shoulder to detafn her.
Mrs. Thomas Immediately grappled with
the nurse, and after a desperate struggle
on the floor overpowered her and then
hurled herself backward. crashing through
the glass and falling to the street. Her
skull was fractured and a number of bones
broken. She died instantly.
Slgmund Fleisch of No. 355 East SD
street was passing at the time and saw the
body of the woman falling through the
air. He put out his arm to catch her, but
failed to break her fall.
Mrs. - ornas was divorced from her hus-
band. E. r. Thomas. retired dry goOds
merchant of Hoboken, six months ago, and
1t Is thought that her melancholia was due
to the circumstances attending this separa-
ton. She was brought to the sanatorium by
her brother, Frederick A. Steele, on the ad-
vice of Dr. Daniel Lewis of No GIG Madl-
son avenue, and twice visited her son. Mil
ton Watkins. twenty-one years old. shortly
after her DEATH her son called with
change of clothing for her.
Coroner Hamburger was hastily summoned
when it was found beyond doubt that Mrs.
Thomas was dead. and heated discussion
ensued between him and DIR. Sherman.
When he came out Of the house he told the
reporters that DIR. Sherman had refused to
give him any information about the Wom-
an further than that her name was Mrs.
Thomas and that she had told him there
were no records kept at the sanatorium OF
the history or antecedents of the patients.
Coroner Hamburger said he would call the
district attorneys attention to such an i'm
portant omission in an institution OF the
kind and would ask for an investigation. lie
then gave the doctor his telephone number
and said that if she did not call him up
and supply full particulars about the wom-
an by . o'clock he would call in the police.
On May 25. last year, Matilda Weineke
either jumped or fell from the fourth story
window of the Sanatorium. She died the
next day at Mount Sinai Hospital. The po-
lice of the East 9th street station made
every effort to find out something about the
case, but all in vain. An attendant at the
hospital however, said that they believed

COMPANY FILES BRIEF
POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER
PLANT AND THE SMOKE LAW.

The Potomac Electric Power Company,
which has been frequently charged in the
Police Court with violating the smoke law.
has filed a long brief to the effect that 1t Is
impossible for the company to operate
its plant without violating the smoke law.
Statements of experts were filed with the
brief.
James M. Whitman, smoke preventative
expert, says in report to the company:
ut IL impossible to comply with this law
when any kind Of coal Is used as fuel.
Even with anthracite coal the law will be
infringed at the time of igniting fires.
Therefore, so far as the use of coal Is con-
cerned, the law provides for an impossible
ity.
'In executing the law the inspectors for
the health officer will work great hard
ship and impose a burden never contem-
plated by the act unless they are careful
to so station themselves as to look upward
through the smoke being discharged from
the chimney. A trace Of smoke or light
gray smoke may readily be mistaken for
thick OF dense gray or black smoke II
viewed horizontally from distance.
Furthermore, the inspector, unless near at
smoke, may readily become confused as
to the degree of the smoke II 1t Is projected
upon a blue background.
ut is possible to meet the smoke exac-
coal by the proper use of good mechanical
stokers or down draft furnaces. such as
are in installed in your main station. There
Is no furnace or device known to the art
of steam engineering which so effectively
prevents the formation of smoke"
In the brief the facts concerning the adj
ditions of boiler capacity and devices for
smoke prevention are set forth. More
smoke stacks have been added from time
to time, and yet seem to be of no avail,
it is stated.
At present, it is explained that the plant
has twenty-one boilers, with 1O,0O0-horse
power capacity, and each boiler Is pro-
yided with a snoke-consuming device. me
chadcal stokers, etc. The plant uses 1JO
tons of coal per day, or eight tons per hour.
The coal used Is believed to be the near
est smokeess of any Obtainable here.
The hours of working for the stokers in
the boiler room have been reduced from
twelve to eight hours, and other efforts
have been made to have the stocking as per
feet as possible With all these efforts.
with the advice of outside experts like Mr..
Whitman and with careful watching of an
inspector, the brief states, the plant man
ayers have been unable to obviate the
prosecutions for violating the smoke law.
The brief concludes with plea that. in
view of the efforts and the money spent,
the court should not impose maximum fines
upon the company.
