Fatally Burned.

Mrs. Christiana s. Mackenzie, sister OF
the late Governor Oden Bowie, and we'll
known to the older residents of this
county, was burned to death on Wednes-
day afternoon, of last week, by her dress
igniting while she was in her apartment
at the Bristol, Eutaw Place, Baltimore.
Mrs Mackenzie was discovered in the
hallway. just without her room, by Mrs.
Laur.. Turnbull, who conducts the Bris
toll. Her dress was in flames. Mrs.
Turnbull was attracted by her cries for
help, and she and several other women
ran to the hall. Together they tried to
extinguish the flames with blanket.
The greatest part of Mrs. Mackenzie
clothing was burned off, and she died a
few minutes later. Her death was due
principally to nervous shock, according
to DR.. Maurice A. Sturm, who said that
the burns alone were hardly severe enough
to have ca used death.
1t is supposed that Mrs. Mackenzie at
tempted to strike match, which ignited
her dress and some newspapers on table
which was the only article of furniture
burned The table was in the center of
the roam and the cloth covering it and
several magazines were destroyed by the
fire. The table was only slightly burned.
Mrs. Mackenzie was 70 years old and
was feeble and very nervous. She had
had several attacks of heart trouble and
several days ago complained on account
of her nervousness she had dropped and
broken several pieces of china which she
priced highly. She evidently tried to put
the fire out herself, as she was completely
enveloped in flames when she reached
the hall door, which is short distance
from the table.
Mrs Mackenzie was the daughter of
Gal. William D. Bowie, whose estate
Fairview was in this county, where she
was born. Colonel Bowie was a large

little premature.
The bill "for the increased torture of
live stock in transport is ready to be re-
ported from the committee to the House.
This measure it will be recollected pro-
vides an extension of from % to Sc hours
in the time that cattle being shipped to
market may be transported in cattle
car without food, water or rest. The
measure is being urged by the cattle ship
pers and is opposed bv the Humane So
ciety which declares that the time in tran
sit should be cut down instead of being
extended. The % hour law has been on
the statute books for twenty years or so.
But it is only within the past two years
that it has really been enforced. Since
then the shippers have felt the pinch and
they are now trying to egalize the wrong
| they formerly perpetrated in defiance Of
what they fondly hoped was dead law.
They have wen over Secretary Wilson to
LuclT SlGt anu uC Is actually coNOCdtiuS
the extension of the shipping time. But
the Humane Society declares that %
hours is too long to starve anything or
ANYBODY and that the time either ought to
be shortened or the cars fitted with feed
ing and watering attachments. There
are two other ways of meeting the diff
Guilty without further torturing the cattle.
One is by moving the slaughter houses
closer to the point of origin of their liv-
ing freight. This would necessitate some
initial expenditure on the part of the
Beef Trust, but that would be quickly
made up, for it is VIGOROUSLY cheaper to
transport dressed meat than it is to ship
live cattle. And the Beef Trust makes
| enorm ously on every mile one of its re-
frigerater cars is run. But in this partic-
ular case the Trust is loath to see that it
could save money by spending money.
The other method would be to make com
pulsory the shipment Of live stock at
greater speed instead, as is now done, of
frequently side tracking the cattle trains
for hours in favor of some inanimate
freight. The run of cattle train in this
way could easily be increased from $50
to 500 miles per day and everyone would
be better off for the cattlemen themselves
say that the steers lose weight terribly in
shipment. Any of the plans mentioned
would be cheerfully accepted by the OPP
ponents of the bill as ground for q csm-
promise. But if the thing is to be fought
out to a vote the people who are interest
ed in seeing humanity triumph, can help
the cause great deal by appealing to
their members of Congress and Senators
in person or by letter.

A most important discovery was
recently made by Warden Hook OF
the Baltimore city Jail in the fact
that letters written by the aid of an
invisible process have been leaving
the institution, and that the writings
were of the most private nature.
Some eight or nine months ago there
was a prisoner at the jail who served
a sixty day sentence on a false pre-
tense charge, and 1t was this prison
er, the warden has since learned, who
introduced the scheme to other pris-
oners.
The man confided his scheme to a
select number of other prisoners, and
one of the letters written by this
same process got into the hands OF
the warden, who soon learned all
about it. Prisoners are allowed to
send one letter week from the insti.
tuition, but every letter that goes from
the jail is either read by the warden
or one of his subordinates. A certain
amount Of paper Is given each pris
oner, and he is allowed to write on
but one side Of the paper.
Instead of filling the entire side Of
piece of paper those who rssortet
to the new scheme would leGve &
