Fall River, Mass, Feb. 20.-The open

pied by a woman and three children

of her three little ones and then her
own Mrs. Waters apparently had
thrown overheard her two daughters
and infant son and then jumped after
them.
Investigation by attaches of the

had occurred between midnight and
three thirty this morning the fact of
the staterOOm being unOccUpied being
discovered just before the plymouth
made the Newport landing.
The woman left two notes addressed
to her husband. In one, penciled on
the back of an envelope. she begged
forgiveness. In another, written on a
piece of wrapping paper. she said, she
had worried until she feared insanity
and could not bear to leave her chill

Alleged that ThOS. F. RauSCher Proprietor of the KOnde Res
taurant Secured at Least SI,2OO.OO, from
Various Firms Here.
HE HAD BEEN IN BUSINESS ONLY
A FEW MONTHS AND WAS SUP.
POSED TO BE DOING WELLS
NOW OCCUPYING A CELL IN
COUNTY JAIL.

An arrest that caused more than
usual comment was maze last night.
when Deputies Sanders and Johnson
took into custody Thomas +. Raus-
cher. a young white man Of excellent
family, and placed him in the county
Jail upon the charge of forgery. No
bond was given by the prisoner and
he was placed in a cell TO spend the
balance of the night.
The arrest was made about o'clock
by the officers. Rauscher at the time
was al his place of business. the KlOn-
dyke restaurant, at the corner OF
Baylen and ZarragOssa streets. When
the officers first visited the place they
could not find him, il being stated
that he was not in the building. Later,
however. they saw him looking from
the balcony and going UG the stair
way placed him under arrest as he
was leaving.
II is alleged that Rauscher has
given notes and forged the names OF
parties TO them as security. and it
is said that the money he secured by
this means will amount to fully $1,000.
One of the alleged forgeries is thai
of the name of Mrs. G. Guardina. Il
Is claimed that the young man gave
mortgage upon a pair of horses and a
hack to the Fisher Real Estate Agen-
cy. which he did not possess, agreeing
10 make monthly payments upon the
note Of $4,000. He has already made
two payments UpOn this note. The
note bore the endorsement of Mrs. G.
Guardina, but the officers state that
she is ignorant Of the fact that her
name was attached to the paper.
Other notes with forged endorse
ments it is said. were made by Raus-
cher, the total amount being secured
accregating s., 200 or possibly more.
The manner in which the officers
worked the case prevented Rauscher
from obtaining an inkling Of what was
t~anspiring. and he was surprised
when arrested although the officials
stated last night that he admitted hav-
ing done wrong.

The Cold Morning Bath.

Cold baths in the morning are
undoubtedly beneficial, but only to
those persons who haye sufficient
vital energy and nervous force to
insure good reaction. with no
subsequent languor or lassitude.
Many persons who are greatly re-
freshed by their morning bath feel
tired or languid two or three hours
after it. When this occurs it is
conclusive evidence that the prac-
tice is harmful. Persons who have
ar abundance of blood and flesh,
who are Emphatic or sluggish in
temperament and whose nervous
force is not depleted can take a
cold morning bath to advantage.
Others who are inclined to be thin,
whose hands and feet become cold
and clammy on slight provocat1on,
who digest food slowly and as
simulate it with difficulty, who are
nervous and who have much on
their minds, should avoid early
morning cold bathing. For such
the bath before retiring at night is
recommended, as it should be fol-
lowed by rest of brain and Body
till equable conditRns of circula-
ton are reestablished. Exchange.

New Ideas In Bed Furnishings.

The up-to date bedroom is a
marvel of simplicity, with polished
floors, beautiful rugs, plain, un-
figured paper, and simple fur
niture. The rage for the beds of
gaily painted enamel, even of the
pure white enamel, has given place
to a distinct demand for the plain
est of brass beds, with which the
elaborate bed furnishings of the
last few years are not used.
The new quilt of soft. white
japanese silk is made to fold at the
foot OF the bed and to be DRAM up
when the air turns chilly-in the
night. These are thick with down,
are not heavy, and are just large
enough to cover the bed.
The Marseille counterpart, even
in white, is no longer used. In its
stead have come lawE or linen bed
spreads, many of which ere
tucked .-Selected.
