CLAIM he SLEW
BY RARE POISON

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. A murder
trial of widespread interest began here
today when DR.. Thomas L. Rowland
and his second wife, the widow Of
Charles r. Strange, a locomotive engi-
neer, faced the charge OF having muir
dered Strange by poison 30 that they
might wed.
An effort will be made to prove that
DR.. Rowland was q Jekyll and Hyde in
real life and to all appearances led an
exemplary existence while secretly
making a study Of deadly poisons and
plotting murders.
He was even arrested on the charge
Of having poisoned his own child to get
the insurance money, but was let go
because the chemists could find no trace
Of poison In the tests made.
In the present case DIR. Rowland is
alleged to have used aconitine, q rare
and deadly vegetable poison.

QUESTION OF PURE LOVE
Louise Rejoiees in the Fact That
She Has a Husband Again
The Truth Some

London, Oct. william lie Quea,
The novelist, who was q witness to the
wedding Of ex-Crown Princess Louise,
or Saxony, writes the following inter-
view with the princess after the cere-
mony. The princess said:
i heard about Signor Tossellf's great
talents as a pianist, and invited him to
play at my villa. From the first mo-
ment OF meeting there sprung q mutual
affection between us, and / resolved to
marry him, although knowing that by
doing so / should lose the greater part
OF my income and the king Of Saxony
would do his best to obtain possession
OF my darling Monica"
Husband Interrupts.
Here the husband interrupted:
THE king shall never have the child.
I have promised my wife to protect the
little princess. She shall be as my own
child" . 49,.
YES" continued the princess, II have
not had any idea Of giving up the child.
The king Of saxony endeavored to OBJ
tain possession Of her, but I have al
ways kept her and always shall. My
darling is In a safe place. I receive
kilograms daily assuring me of her
safety"
"some people may be surprised at
your marriage, especially because you

The princess retorted:
Talk Of CaIumny.
- What does income matter when it's
all a question OF love? You know how
helpless I have been these four years
Of constant worry, annoyance n
calumny. I have been alone and I'M
protected and have been villified by
that section of the Saxon court which
bribed the German and Italian press to
publish evil reports.
But now I have a husband who
loves me and who in future will pro-
tect me. We understand each other
perfectly. The public haven't n idea
Of what I have suffered, of the cruel
unjust ann the Saxon court has
treated me. Some day I may tell the
whole truth, but today is my marriage
day and I may better continue silent.
When the truth is told Il will be seen
that I am more sinned against thar

New York, Sept. 30.-Entirely calm.
Edward Brakeman, Of Brooklyn, IA.
confessed he has committed 200 rob-
berries since August 5-say about four
a day on the average.
Young Bridgeman said: too. that he

passed his nights with his parents.
This explains why his mother, utterly
ignorant of his w~rongdoing, protested
Edward Is a good boy"
This most industrious young thief
has been in the hands Of the Brooklyn
Children's society. The society's agents
say they believe he Is mentally unbal-
anced. They do not call him a KEEP
tomaniac; they think he has never re-
covered from a surgical operation that
was performed on him, and that this
makes him steal.

WIFE SIGNS PACT TO

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 30.-A ninety

effective substitute for a divorce, so 1t
WAS discovered in court here. Frank
Bednosky and his wife called upon At
torney James McQuaid three years ago
and told him they wanted a divorce.
They could not agree. McQuaid did
not want to have them divorced and
so he induced the wife to sign a nine
nine year agreement renouncing all
claim Upon her husband If she mis-

was signed they began living together

Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 30.-Justice Of
the Peace Slower has a strong right
arm, which has frequently been used
with good effect upon evildoers.
Another, Benjamin Noll, came to grief
in the Justices cf1ce.
The wife OF Benjamin's brother, FL

assault and battery, and the hearing
was held before Justice Slower. Benja-

where he had been thrust by the squire.
Then the brothers were committed
for thirty days.

HOW THEY DlNED.
Methods of the English at Table in the
Seventeenth Century.

seventeenth SCHhdiJs
The old English had three meals
day, of which the chief meal was TAX
en- when the work Of the day was fin
ished. The first meal was at 9, dinner
was about o'clock and supper was
taken just before bedtime. The Nor
mans dined at the old English break
fast time or a little later and supped
at 7.p. m. In Tudor times the higher
classes dined at II o'clock and supped
at S, but the merchants seldom took
their meals before II and O'CLOCK
The chief meals, dinner and supper
were taken in the hall both by the old
English and the Normans, for the par
lor did not come into use until the
reign of Elizabeth. Breakfast did not
become a regular meal until quite
lately, and DR.. Murray in the Oxford
dictionary gave 1853 as the date or
the earliest quotation in which the
word occurred. The meal did not be-
come recognized until late in the sew
enteenth century, for Pepys habitual-
ly took his draft Of half pint or
Rhenish wine or a dram Of strong wa
ters in place Of a morning meal. Din
ner was always the great meal or the
day, and from the accession OF Henry

led to much stress being laid upon the
act Of washing the hands both before
and after meals and to the rule that
the left hand alone should be dipped
into the common dish. the right hand

this thought is justice. CD. Think
on just things. There is dis
position in these old natures of ours
when we feel that we have been
wronged, to 'even a score, even
when we have no disposition to profit
thereby materially; a kind Of pleas
ure in the spirit Of revenge. The ques-
ton for us to settle is, Is 1t right
The fact that man has injured u.s.
and thereby done wrong, does not
make 1t right for us to return the
injury. vengeance Is mine, I Will
repay, saith the Lord. 60. Think
on pure things BLESSED are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God. How
beautiful Is the character Of Joseph,
as we come to seek a model among
men. But while we are charmed with
the beauty Of his character let us not
forget to analyze the means by which
he attained it, When he was beset
with the tempter he fled and got him
out. He would not expose himself to
rity. If we speak impure words, be-
hold impure sights, and do impure
things, our minds will become impure,
and our hearts and lives will be like
wise impure. (5).. Let our Thoughts
be Of lovely things. You can sit down
and brood over a supposed condition
of evil. until you will conclude that
you have not friend on earth, that
every mans hand Is against you. You
will become miserable and make all
miserable who come into contact with
you. You know those when you dread
to meet because Of the tale OF woe
which they always have to tell. Those
who think upon lovely things are
happy and make all about them hap
py. They always see the most beaut J.
full flowers, hear the sweetest song or
the bird and have the most charming
companions. Think upon the attri-
butes of God; Of his justice on the
one hand and his mercy on the other;
think of heaven as the perfection OF
glimpse of the pearly gate and hear
snatches of the heavenly music. (6).
Think on things of good report. We
are prone to think too much upon
the evil reports we hear. It Is neces-
sary for investigation for the sake OF
honor and integrity sometimes, but
let not evil reports be the food OF our
minds or we will become debased.
Finally: Things Of virtue and
things of praise are the highest mod
els of human thought. BY the con-
slant study Of these do we elevate our
minds, and thereby our hearts, and
thereby our lives more and more un-
to the Christ-likeness. When the
sculptor or painter would ravish the
eve with a scene Of beauty he first
prepares O scene Of surprising beauty
in his own mind, and with every
stroke he seeks to reproduce In the
marble or on the canvas the picture
of his mind and to vitalize 1t out Of
his heart His picture will never lie
more beautiful and perfect than the
one he had in his mind. Jesus Christ
is the perfect incarnation Of beauty,
and the supreme object of praise.
Let him be our model, let his life, az
set before us in his word be our pat
tern. But we all, with open face be-
holding as in a glass the glory of the
Lord, are changed into the same I'M
age from glory to glory. even as by the
spirit of the Lord" And, 1--WE shall
be satisfied when we awake with thy

Those whose patriotism is not quite
up to the standard, can step into our
