strychnine tablets. which had been
prescribed for young woman visitor
for candy, the eighteen-months-old
daughter of Albert Auger, ate eight VI
them and died in great agony. The
poison belonged to Miss Mary Carter,
Who is here from Michigan on vaca-
ton.
The high altitude had affected her
heart slightly and doctor YESTERDAY
morning ordered her to take strych-
nine. She purchased the tablets and
allowed them to remain on the bureau
Mrs. Auger was unaware of the
presence of the drug in the house until
the child came from the bedroom
about o'clock, holding up her little
hand full of pink pills, saying. Look
at the pretty candy
The mother Immediately snatched
the medicine from her hand and sue
ceeded in taking several of the pills
from the little ones mouth before she
swallowe them. A doctor was sum
moned, but when he arrived the child
had gone into commissions and the ef
forts OF the physician to save her were
i'll vain. The baby suffered great
pain.
The parents as well as Miss Carter
are prostrated over the tragic death
of the little one, an only child and pet
OF the neighborhood.

Nothing was said at the luncheon
table about the affair of the morning,
and Miss Weston's vacant chair seem
ed to give an air of gloom to the
whole party.
In the afternoon l wandered about
the grounds by myself, trying to de-
eide what / ought to do. The guam
dary was in was not one to be easily
surmounted, for while l realized that
my duty to Miss Carney, as well as
my own personal inclinations in the
matter, called upon me most impera

the affair was entirely unexpected by
her and due to no wilful act of her

Statler has just completed the classl-
fcation of the various appropriations
made by the Sixteenth General Assem-
bly,, and they aggregate this amount.
1T is probable that we shall have
enough money to pay all of these ap-
propriations, although, of course, as is
always the case, some will receive con
sIderation over others. The secretary
of state, the insurance commissioner
and in fact all the departments, inform
Ire that their revenues will be largely
increased this term. Besides, the state
board of equalization has in'reaset
the valuation on corporate property, so
tnat while the appropriations are
larger than ever before, there will be
large revenues to meet them"
In classifying appropriations they
are divided into five classes. The frs
class includes the ordinary expenses of
he legislative, executive and judicial
departments, with the interest on the
public debt The second class provides
for the appropriations made to the pc
nal and corrective Institutions; the

pressed great concern over her friends

ous at first, but We soon explained
AS said these words l thanked my
lucky stars that I had taken the pre-
caution to keep Miss Carney in ig-
norance concerning the cigar case and
the odor of the rags that we found in
'enks' possession. For my part, the
mystery of CarneyCroft seemed to be
growing deeper and deeper, and yet /
as light of the matter as possible, es-
pecially in the presence of her other
guests.
After breakfast Miss Carney and l
walked down toward the river to-
gether and passed the spot where Mac
Ardel had questioned jerks and the
widow.
This is where you saw the ghosts,
isn't it?" asked Miss Carney, with a
little nervous shudder.
Yes" l replied, "and we could have
captured them, too, if we had not been
so sure that we already had bigger
game in our hands"
Il do hope they won't come back
again" she said with shiver. I'm al
most as much upset over it as Annie
was. But she is not at all well, Mr..
Ware. Do you know, really think she
is growing weaker and weaker every
day. Her spirits keep ner up and all
that, but she certainly hasn't the
strength she used to have"
Il suppose that is why the note af-
fected her So l returned. You re-
member, she was actually calling for
some ghostly manifestation only a mo-
ment before, and yet you must have
noticed how completely she lost her
head when found the paper"

Miss Carney. She didn't seem to

Uncle Sam Buys a Church.

WaShingtOn.-ln accordance with di
rections from President Roosevelt, Sec
retary Taft instructed Governor Ma
COON to purchase all the church prop
crty in Cuba in the diocese of Havana.
according to the original recommends
tons.
AS to the church property in the dio-
oese of Santiago, for which an option
contemplated the payment of about
5000, 900, the secretary says he has not
been able thus far to secure informa-
tion as to its value. He is not in a po-
sition, therefore, he says, to recon-
mend that the option be exercised. The
secretary says that the property is not
OF such character that the yielding OF
1t to the church will cause any great
public Inconvenience.
The stipulated value of the property
In Havana is $1,499,55
Under the terms of the contract en-
tered into by the military government
and the church authorities, the United
States was given the option to buy this
property, less twenty-five per cent of
the rent paid to June 1, 1907, which be.
ing s11O,9O4, leaves a balance of ST.,
3sS,6 ,646 which it is proposed to pay.
Before acting, Secretary Taft sub
mitted long memorandum to Presi-
cent Roosevelt, which gave in detail
the history of the entire matter. In
this the secretary speaks of an offer of
Si. William Redding to purchare the
property in Havana diocese at the full
price of $1,499,950, and says Governor
Magoon cabled him that he had good
reason to believe the offer was made
in the interests, not of fruit com
pany alone, but also in the interest OF
line of steamships. The amount is
over $4,000 more than the govern
nent will have to pay.
The great bone of contention is
vheher the custom house property,
whose great value is its proximity to
the wharf, is worth sl,050,O00 alone
but when it is considered from the
standpoint of a government that must
have the property, and which if it does
not get it by contract must obtain 1t
by appropriation, there is not the
slightest doubt in his mind of the wis
dom of exercising the option to pur-
chase it.

eyes filled with tears, and her form

"Oh, Mr.. Ware she whispered,

face. "Oh, it's too terrible even to think

Mr.. Ware, and the time may come
when ! can tell you everything. But

it myself, and that little chills the very
blood in my veins. May God forgive
