MRS. CHADWICK DEAD.
Woman Who Startled Banking

World Expires in Prison.
Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, whose finan-
cial exploits at one time startled the
world, died in the women's ward of
the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio,
Thursday night, unattended by any
save the prison physician and hospital
nurses. The decline in Mrs. Chadwicks
health began almost from the time she
entered the penitentiary on Jan. II,
1906, sentenced to ten years imprison-
ment. She fretted necessarily over her
confinement and worried about her
troubles until it became almost impos
sible for her to sleep. Her last illness
began three weeks ago. She was con-
fined to a cot in the hospital of the
women's ward from that time until her
death.
The financial exploits of Mrs. Chad
wick startled the country in the fall of
licity by means of receivership suit
brought by Herbert Il. Newton. of
Brookline, Mass. who held some of the
spurious securities upon which she had
built up a colossal credit. Exposure
after exposure followed The Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin, Ohio. which
lost heavily in the swindle, went to
the wall and President C. L. Beckwith
died, it being reported that he had
committed suicide. Mrs. Chadwick had
represented herself to have close finan-
cial relations with Andrew Carnegie.

May Carry typhoid Long.

DIR. J. ii. Townsend of the Connect.
cut Board of Health reports that the
bacillus of typhoid may be carried for
years after an attack of the disease with
out any apparent inconvenience to the pa
tient and without his knowledge OF the
fact. Kutscher, German expert, is
quoted as saying that about 4 per cent of
the typhoid patients become chronic car
riers of typhoid bacilh. Although such
persons may be in good health, they may
infect those with whom they come in con-
tact. All this is confirmed by the recent
case of a cook who had served in several
New York families. In every family her
presence was followed by an outbreak of
typhoid. 1t was known that the cook
herself had suffered an attack of the same
disease formerly and an enforced exam
inat.on showed that she still carried the

Cancer Among Mcat-E.ter.

The results of two years. exhaustive
study of cancer in the city OF Chicago
by DR.. Cooke Adams Of London have lust
been made public in report of the city
health department. 1t says that DR.. Ad-
ans has proved that diet is a most i'm
portant factor in the increase of diseases
and in the death rate. In the last seven

foreign-born inhabitants lover one third
of the total population) and 4,463 of these
deaths were due to cancer. DIR. Adams
says that his statistical investigations in
Europe and the United States corroborate
his earlier Australian observations, show
ing an alarming increase in the death
rate from cancer among foreign-born in
habitants. who depend largely upon meats
of inferior character for their food. Dr.
Adams says that SO per cent of the stock
held for slaughter upon being condemned
by the inspectors finally enters the mar
ket either as fresh meat or in the form
Of meat products, and is largely consum-
cd by the foreign poor. He says there
cannot be the slightest doubt that a great
increase in cancer among these people
over the prevalence of that disease in their
native countries is due to the increased
consumption of animal foods. and espe-
c;ally those derived from diseased ant
mails.

WATCHMAN FoILS ROBBERS.
Counterpart of Looting of Manhattan
Bank Narrowly Averted.

An aged watchman's faithful perform

have caused a sensation almost as great
as that which followed the looting of the
Manhattan bank many years ago. Rich

center of the financial district, was the
hero. He is now in the hospital suffering
from wounds which he received in des-
perate single-handed fight against two
robbers who attacked him while he was
making his rounds on the nineteenth floor
of the building after midnight. Although
60 years old. Grey made fight against
his assailants and it was not until he
had been battered until almost uncon-
scious that he was overcome. Even then
he refused to reveal to the robbers the
hiding place of the keys to the hundreds
of Offices in the great building. The rob-
bers chloroformed the old man as he lay
bleeding on the floor, and then began
search for the keys. Apparently they
were unsuccessful in their search, for
when Grey revived and staggered down
the nineteen flights of stairs to the base
ment the men had disappeared.

The prevailing tendencies afford further
encourag cement in the outlook for sustain
ed confidence IN trade. In the crop re-
port this week the decreased growth Of
cereals is made clear. but an offset is
found in the greatly enhanced values and
almost certain markets abroad for sur
plus products. Less pressure is evident
in money and. with the rapid conversion
OF grain into cash. there should follow a
substantial addition to deposits with the
banks and some easing of the discount
rate. Current activity reflects scasonable
progress. production in the leading indus
tries equaling that of year ago, while
the distri0utive branches and transpor-

from the halt in new demands for rails

SOME HOosIER HISTORY.
First Settlement Was Made nj
Vfncennes in 1902


Nfncennes in 1902.
Investigating and research continue TO
corroboTate 11o2 as the correct date of
the first settlement at Vincennes, and 10
refute the single writer who essayed TO
startle all historians for a century with
the statement that il was 1871 when Nor
gan de Vincenne came here and built
fort to protect the settlement formed 80
years before and which was exposed TO
the Indian dpredations. The theory OF
the alleged discoverer of 'new facts" was
that the reference in early manuscript TO
the ''poste on the Oubache" did not mean
Nincennes, but referred TO a spot where
Cairo now stands and that the lower
Ohio river was called the Wabash by the
Indians. Besides the error of believing
that the children of the forest who learn
ed all they knew ia the book of nature
and thought that the Ohio emptied into
the Wabash (the big river running into
the little one), we have additional and
irrefutable records that there was no fort
years after at the confluence of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. Many years after,
Gen. Hamilton in his report to Hald-
mand who was in charge at Quebec in
August, 1871, suggested that importance
not of rebuilding but of locating a fort
at this point, which disposes of the wild
theory of the latter day history makers.
These facts are fully given in a compila-
ton by the late Consul Butterfeld. who
had access to British historic records and
who wrote many works on history.

FALSE EARS FOR KING ED.
Artificial Hearing Instruments Sen,
To Deaf Queen and King.

to Deaf Queen and King.
Three sets of artificial hearing instru-
ments have been shipped from New York
to Buckingham Palace, London, for the
use of King Edward and Queen Alexan-
dra. The latter has long suffered, from
dea fness, but the fact that King Edward
is hard of hearing will be a great sur
prise to the public generally.
The instruments have been made so as
to enable the king and queen to talk to-
gether without the use of trumpet. The
transmitter, or sound concentration, will be
attached to the clothing o. the couple.
The sounds are focused on the concentrate
or in the same manner that the rays of
the sun, are focused by means OF an
ordinary reading glass.
At this point of focus is placed a super
sensitive microphone. which takes up the
focused or magni fled sounds and conveys
them to the ear by means of a small silk
covered tinsel cord. through which an cleo
trio current is conveyed by a small bat
terry to an ear piece. which is held to the
ear. The batteries are carried in the
pocket, being about three inches high and
one and one-half inches in diameter.
The ear piece is somewhat smaller than
the ordinary telephone earpiece. but high
" sensitized and can be hidden in the
hand. The only visible part of the in
strument is a portion of the silk cord
which connects the concentration with the
earDiece.

fines totaling 100000 were imposed on the

that its payments to the packing firm were

the fact that the Alton did not take a
