COMB DETECTS BULLET.
Chicago Girl Survives Tragedy ir
WhieA Two Were Killed.

Chicago, Ill.--That pretty Sal.
yina Awald is alive today as the only
witness to a tragedy in which she aas
shot and two others were killed is due
only to a heavy comb which she wore
in the back Of her hair.
One Of the two bullets fired by Mich.
ael DeTrain. after he had instantly
killed Salvina Buttman, who rejected
his offer Of marriage, hit the comb,
glanced off and tore the young WON
ans scalp, She will recover. II the
course of the bullet had not been
changed she would now be dead, pky,
sicians say.
The shooting occurred on a street
corner in Melrose Park, a suburb. De.
termined to kill Miss Buttman and
then to commit suicide, DeTrain met
the young woman by appointment. She
was accompanied by her cousin, Sal.
VIVA Awald. When the latter saw the
revolver she tried to grasp it. De
Train jerked it from her and fired one
shot at Miss Buttman. She dropned
dead. Then he fired the shot that
nearly cost the life of Miss Awald. A
moment later he killed himself.

NO LOGICAL PANIC EXCUSE
Sources of Peoples Wealth Have
Not Been Affected.

New York. Leslie NJ. Shaw, former
secretary of the treasury, authorized
the following interview on the present
financial and industrial conditions to-
day:
Our farms produce more than SO, 500,-
100000 per annum, and the prospect is
good for an average crop. Our mines
yield more than 81, 500, 000, 900 and our
forests more than 81 900, 200, 900. And
neither OF these sources OF wealth has
been exhausted, The output OF II
factories, in other than food products
Is Sl2 1000, 600, 600. The RAILWAYS earn
more than 81, O00, 0O0, 900, and they are
all in successful operation. The pay
rolls OF our factories and railways ag-
gregate approximately 81, 1900, 900, 900
and the scale Of wages has not been re.
duced.
I'm other words, the real sources OF
the peoples wealth have not yet been
affected and the ability OF industrial
concerns to pay dividends is not meas
ured by the market price Of their stocks.
Logical reasons for serious conditions
are therefore wanting.

Confederate Monuments.

The work Of raising funds in several
counties OF the State to be used In
erecting monuments to the Confederate
dead is making steady progress. The
board Of supervisors of Kinds county
appropriated $1,000 for a monument 70
be erected at Raymond.
At Yazoo City the Daughters OF the
C~onfederacy have selected a very orig
inal aud attractive design. The monu.
ment will bear two figures in bronze, q
Southern mother presenting her son to
the Confederate cause. This monu-
ment will probably be dedicated during
the United Daughters OF the Confeder.

Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, presi,

preciptatal by the counsel of the next

counsel for the plaintiffs in their en-.
deavor to widen the scope Of inquiry
so that IT would include the PROPOSE.
ton that The teaching of Christion Sci.
ence by Mrs, Eddy for a generation
was direct evidence of her general In,
sanity.
This proposition was calculated by
Counsel Howe, associate Of Mr.. Chan
der, and was more amplified In its
character ,han the original proposition
submitted by the latter in his opening
Tuesday, the proposition that Mrs,
Eddy was the victim of seven syste,
matte decisions, which had been pro,
gressiye and which had eliminated in
her mental destruction.
Postponed for Argument.
This r~eceding or simplifying from the
original position wal hardly welcomed
by General Streeter, and the matter
went over until Thursday for argu.
ment.
Judge Aldrich, acting as spokesman
for the masters, had already ruled that
the hearing was not to be taken as dis.
establishing Christian Science as n reli'
glous corporation, but in regard to this
latter case admitted that the proposi.
ton was one that must be settled later
on by the masters, This statement by
the senior master is taken to mean
that Mrs, Eddy must finally submit To
examination by alienists, either DIR.
Jolly, as naster, or by a commission.

the de Ferri family have been issued
by Count Leopold ]. de Ferrf announ-
cling his engagement to Miss Rita
Jaichner, a young bookkeper OF Phila.
delphia, to whom he has been engaged
three years.
The announcement may be called a
shock to certain young women Of the
exclusive set here, who have been ex-
ercising all their arts in the effort to
land the count. Several are reported
to be deeply chagrined over their fail
ure, with all their wealth and position,
to fulfill their desire to capture a title.
Count Ferri lives in New Orleans
and is wealthy. He met Miss Jaicn-
ner at a social gathering three years
ago, loved her and won her consent 70
be his wife. Her mother objected 10
a marriage until she reached her ma.
iority, bat when that was attained on
August 5 the nobleman claimed his
sweetheart. The announcement fol-
lowed.
The bride-to.be is the daughter of
the late John Jaichner, once the head
of a great cork mandatory in Eu
rope, but who became bankrupt and
came to America twelve years ago. He
died. and his daughter obtained a po-
sition as bookkeeper to make her wi
living. She was born in Paris.
The count is a cheyalier of the
Honor of the Sovereign, and his family
has been noble for centuries, first in
Italy, and later in Austria, he says.

polygamous marriages, which, he said,
were still made among Mormons.
THE Mormons absolutely control
Utah now politically, and a United
States senator, governor or congress-
man cannot be elected in Idaho or
Wyoming against the wishes of the
Mormon church, They are the great
balance Of power In Oregon, and will
soon control the senators in that State.
They are beginning to be very power
full in Nevada. Unless checked they
