SHOT BY WIFE
New York Woman Killed Her Husband As He Lay Asleep
 in Bed
SHOT HERSELF ALSO

New York, Nov. 20.-Half crazed by jealousy because of her husbands attentions to another woman, Mrs Lottie Hitchcock shot and instantly killed her husband, Robert l.. Hitch cock, as he lay sleeping in bed in their home in the Bronx early to-day. Then turning the revolver upon herself, Mrs Hitchcock inflicted several wounds in her head and breast from which she is expected to die.
 Hitchcock was a compositor on a New York newspaper. Notwithstand- ing the severity of her wounds, Mrs Hitchcock was still conscious and sit ting on the edge of the bed when neighbors came and she remained conscious until placed under arrest and sent to hospital.
 She told the police that she did the shooting and was glad of it and then she tainted.
 An opium smoking outfit was found Tn the Hitchcock apartment. Nearby was an Episcopal prayer book open at the prayer reading:
 "Oh Lord, we beseech thee, absolve thy people from their offences that through they bountiful goodness we may all be delievered from the bond of those sins which we have commit ted" Beside this was a newspaper clipping of a poem entitled Bessie Mccall, the last stanza of which read: "Oh the price that we pay for the
 single mistake,
 Oh the souls that men slay, And the hearts that they break.
 Oh surely somewhere, God who
 pities us all, Will care for the soul of Bessie .-s-s.-es- Mccall"
 In the last line the word Bessie McCall' had been run through with a pencil and instead was written in a feminine hand:
 Will care for the souls of Lottie and Bob.'
 Mrs Hitchcock had been married twice and has a son, Harold, in Balti- more and a daughter, Florence, in Philadelphia.

STEVENS BALLOON
Dropped Anchor in Orange After Oissgreeable Flight Expec-
 ted to Land in Boston.

Ascending from Pittsfield, Mass, al
 12:35 yesterday afternoon in the
 balloon Stevens No 21," amid | cheers from hundreds of assembled
 spectators, A. Leo Stevens, the fam
 ous aeronaut. and A. Holland Forbes,
 a New York millionaire, his passen-
 ger, were found at 6:15 p. m. dining
 peacefully at the home of Watson s.
 Woodruff in the Orange hills. The
 trip from Pittsfield yesterday was MT Stevens's 999th voyage in gas bal
 loon, and he says it Is one of the worst ever made.
 MT Stevens intended to land in Boston but was unable to strike an easterly current which the Boston weather bureau informed him he would strike at a distance of two miles in the air. He said:
 After We passed near what we thought was Waterbury, we lost our bearings entirely and did not find them again until MT Forbes espied the bridge which spans the Housa- tonic river between Derby and Shel- ton which he remembered from au- tomobile trips. Immediately after this was discovered Long Island Sound came into view and Charles Island, off Milford, could easily be discerned. The balloon was then at distance of about 4,O00 feet high and travelling at the rate of seventy miles an hour. Realizing that they had no time to lose if they wanted to escape the water, MT Forbes gave the signal to descend and the balloon dropped rapidly.
 When about 2,000 feet from the earth a fierce whirlwind struck us," said MT Stevens, land I was obliged to pull the valve cord again, and cut loose the anchor rope. After that all l have is faint recollections of ap, bearing and disappearing trees and a terrific pumping before the anchor caught on wire fence and we found securely held by some trees. It was one of the worst land ings l have ever made. The wind was so strong that it must have blown the escape valve shut and after striking the ground the first time we bounded at least forty feet nthe air."
 The balloon landed at 4:15 about three miles from Orange Cente.' and Watson s. Woodruff, representative of Orange in the legislature, hearing of their sudden arrival, invited them to his house where they were his guests until 7:15, when they left for New York via the 7:52 train from New Haven. In landing MT Stevenss eft knee and MT Forbess right knee | were slightly injured, but other than his they were unimpaired and in nigh spirits.

PRICE OF BREAD
Troit Baking Company Will Not Raise 10 Sc a LOaf-PreSeDt
 Price 10 Remain.

The Trott Baking Co has decided not to raise the price of bread. It was the intention of the concern starting on next Monday to charge eight cents for their pointed bread, but this morning it was decided to leave the price of the foodstuff as it is. The price of the square bread would have remained the same and although the pointed bread would be three cents more per loaf, it would be bigger than the present loaf. Because of the labor spent on the pointed brand, the cop- cern finds little or no profit ill the sale of it.
 Neither Warren or Fred Trott could be interviewed on the matter this af. ternoon, as they were not at their office, but George H. Buckingham, superintendent of the concern, said the new price would have started Monday if the management had not decided otherwise this morning. It takes much more time to mould the pointed bread than the square and not as many loaves can be placed in the oven at time. Consequently we are making nothing on our point ed bread, so were thinking of q change MT Buckingham said as far as he knew the Trott concern was the only one considering the change. As it is with pointed bread, so it is with pies," he continued. There is no profit in pies for us at the present price in view of what it costs to make them. It is more to accom- modate the public than anything else that we continue to do so."

MODERN SURGERY.
Its Minute and Elaborate System of
 Sterilization.

Its Minute and Elaborate System of
 Sterilization.
 The scene at an operating table in one of our hospitals now would make one of the old masters of surgery stare. The operator himself and all his staff are dressed like the old holy priests of Solomon's temple, wearing white caps and gowns, with the nurses standing around like priestesses all in spotless white, while every one about the table has gone through as many ablutions as befits the occasion of a bloody sacrifice under the auspices of the immaculate goddess of cleanliness. A minute and elaborate ritual has been observed of sterilizing everything-towels, threads, needles, forceps, instruments and what not-while the floor itself is made of glass or glazed tiles rather than of wood. The surgeon himself does not venture to cut the victim till he has put on his sterilized gloves, because he cannot possibly clean his fingers enough. Should any onlooker take his hand out of his pocket to reach for the gaping wound he would be elected instanter for spelling the whole per formance with his defling touch.
 The results of this vigilant war against microbes are simply marvellous and can be fully appreciated only by those who, like myself, can remember the surgery of former days in hospital wards and on the battlefield bodys Magazine.

BUTTER BY THE YARD.
The Way It Is Sold, Pure and Sweet,
 In Cambridge, England.


 In Cambridge, England.
 In Cambridge. England, butter is sold by the yard. For generations it has been the practice of Cambridge shire dairy folk to roll their butter into lengths, each length measuring a yard and weighing a pound. Deity wrap ped in strips of clean white cloth, the cylindrical rolls are packed in long, narrow baskets made for the purpose and thus conveyed to market. The butter women who, in white linen aprons and sleeves. preside over the stalls in the market have no need of weights or scales for dispensing their wares. Constant practice and ex- perienced eyes enable them with stroke of the knife to divide a yard of butter into halves or quarters with almost mathematical exactness.
 The university people are the chief buyers of this curiosity shaped prod uct. In addition to being famed for its purity and sweetness Cambridge yard butter"' is eminently adapted for being served to the students in the daily commons. Cut fin conveniently sized pieces and accompanied by a loaf of the best wheat bread. a stated DOT tion is sent round every morning to the rooms of the undergraduates for use at breakfast and tea.-Chicago Record Herald.
