DIES TRYING TO FLY.
Christian Scientist Plunges Four
Stories to Street.
Wife Clings to His Ankle AS He
Hangs From the Window Until She
Faints.

Eugene Eawe, of New York, was
a planter and polisher of hardwood
parquet floors, and did well at his
trade up to last May. At this time
Howe and his wife, Bertha, moved
their belongings into the top floor of
the four-story and basement brown
stone residence of DR.. Gregory Costi-
gan, at 63 West SiXty-eight street.
At the Central Park, west of the
block on which the Costigan house is
situated is the Second church of
Christ Scientist. Howe dropped in
there to see and hear. The husky
floor planer became deeply interested
in the teaching of Christian Science.
He tried to interest his wife in the
tracks and books he-ebtained at the
library of the church.
Mrs. Howe would have none of the
teachings. She says that since her
husband began to read Mary G. Ed
dy's Science and HEALTH" he has
had little time to attend to his trade.
He gave up smoking, changed most
of his habits of life, and not long
ago decided that eating breakfast
was all mistake. At 10 o'clock Sat
urday night Howe came home and
chatted for ashort time with DR.. Cos
tigan. The physician says the floor
polisher was perfectly rational.
After talking with DR.. Costigan but
a short time Howe went up to his
apartments on the top floor. He un-
dressed and got into bed, taking with
him a book he had bought. Tt was
Science and Health"
Along after midnight Howe, so his
wife says, began to act in a manner
queer even for him. He finally made
for a front window, climbed out on
the sill and announced that he was
going to fly out on the night air.
Mrs. Howe ran to the window and
managed to grasp him by the ankle
Just as he leaped. She held his weight
with all the strength that was in her
arms. Her arms were badly cut and
bruised by coming in contact with the
sharp edge of the stone window Sill.
Finally the woman's strength gave
way, and, with shrek that aroused
the neighborhood, she fell back into
the room in a faint.
Howe's skull was fractured and
his body and legs were torn and
crushed. He died in the hospital
without regailing consciousness.
When he leaped from the window
Howe had carried with him Mrs Ed
dy's book.
DR.. Costigan is of the opinion that
Howe was suddenly seized with an
insane notion that he could leap from
the window, land on the sidewalk be-
low without injury, and then enter
the house and display himself 10 the
physician as converting argument
in favor of Christian Science.
Mrs. Howe says that shortly before
her husband made for the window he
had told her that DR.. Costigan had
been practically converted to Chris
tian Science and contemplated CIV
ing up his practice.

MUCH PRAISE TO ALL

AZ must give much praise to all the
C1iticura Remedies. I used but one
cake Of Cuticura Soap and one box Of
Cuticura Ointment, as that was all
that was required to cure my disease.
I was very much troubled with eczema
of the head, and friend Of mine told me
to use the Cuticura Remedies, which
I did, and am glad to say that they cured
my eczema entirely. Since then we
have always kept the soap en- hand at
all times. My sister was also cured
OF eczema of the head by using the
Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has
used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and
thinks they are splendid tonic. / can

Chas. Warner Killing Miss Norling
In Store and Wounding John
Wilson.
A sensational shooting in which a
young woman lost her life. a man
was critically injured and the lives
of several other persons were enllan-
gered, occurred in New York Wed
nesday Charles Warner, a former
merchant, whom the police believed
to be insane, shot down and almost
instantly killed Miss Esther Norling,
a young woman without seeming
cause, in a store on West az street
and then with a smoking revolver in
his hand fled through the crowded
thoroughfare and under the cover of
q fusilade which ne discharged at his
pursuers, made his escape through
the building of the Spaulding Sport
ing Goods firm to West 43rd street,
where he eluded the pursuing police
for nearly three hours, only to sud-
denly appear in the store of John G..
Wilson, a friend on upper Broadway.
where he shot Wilson twice after
making a request for small loan.
Wilson was turning to get the mon
ey when the bullet struck him down.
Warner pushed aside the employees
and ran into the street, where his
flight was ended by a blow on the
head from truckman. Warner was
taken into custody by the police.
Wilson was taken to the hospital,
where it was said Wednesday after
noon that his condition was critical.
Business troubles are believed to
have disordered Warmers mind.
Miss Norling had frequently COM
planned that the attentions of War
ner, who was a former employer
were annoying and that she feared
his mind was affected by his financial
reverses. Warner is about so years
old. Warner made a desperate eff
fort to free himself from the truck
man, who grappled with him. War
ner fired one shot which rebounded
from the pavement and the truck
mann, to save his own life, brought
his hook down on Warmers head
with such force that he laid the scalp
open and dropped Warner to the
sidewalk unconscious. The police
hurried Warner to the hospital,
where it was stated that there was
little chance for him to survive his
injuries.
Miss Norling was a young "oman
of excellent character and a musician
of ability. Her mother died several
years ago and her father remarked,
since which time she has not lived
with him. Her friends say Warner
wished her to go in business with
him, she having saved up some mon
ey, and his frequent visits to her are
said to have been with this motive in
view.
