He went to the place early in the even

This message, from her mother, was
received by Miss Ora Russell at the
Schermerhorn inn, 942 Potter Park ave

cried Mother, mother!' the daughter
heard the click of the telephone at the
other end of the line.
Though twenty-six miles from the
house at 23O Short street, Long Beach,
where her mother was near death. Miss
Russell did not allow the terrible shock
to unnerve her, but with fortitude and

telephone and through long distance
message was able to save her mother S
life.
Miss Russell telephoned to the office
of DR.. j. w. Wood and DR.. c. o. Water

answered the call and moment later

She recovered slowly from the effects
of the poison. A note, limiting at domes-

door of Mrs. Russell's room. Friends
say, however, that for several years,
since she underwent severe operation,
her health has been delicate, and they at
tribute her act to a temporary mental

Mrs. Russell is go years old. Her hus-

far. by offering eagles and douhle-eagles
to those who are loudest In their outcries
against the coins. Possibly the PittsburS

returning the gift Of his parishioners. In
