The Doctor Away from Home when
Most Needed.

People are often very much dissp-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proven fatal before medicine
could be procured or physician sum-
moned. The right way is to keep at
hand a bottle of Chsmberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Dirrahoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe a better medi-
cine for these diseases. BY having IL in
the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy it now; it
may save life. For sale by W. f.

Karl Hau was married TO Lena,
daughter of wealthy widow in Baden
Baden seven years ago. Mrs. Moliter,
the mother, was opposed to the match at
first, for Hau WAS six years younger
than the young woman, who had a
iowry of $50, 900. while Hau had moth
ing. The widow, however, was finally
persuaded to consent to the match. A
few months later Hau and his wife went
10 Washington, where he entered the
George Washington University. He
earned the degree of A. NJ. and LII. d.
there and finally an appointment to the
chair of international law. In October
last Hau announced his intention OF
returning to America, and on October
% he and his wife and child left
Baden Bsden for Frankfort. There he
persuaded his wife to 60 without him
to London, on the plea Of business, and
wait for him at the Hotel Cecil. On No
vember | Mrs. MOliter received a tele-
gram from another married daughter,
asking her to meet her Che daughter) in
Paris. As Mrs. Moliter knew her daugh-
ter had left Paris, she did not go, re-
gsrdiug the telegram as a mistake or
harmless hoax. On the evening OF No
vember she received telephone mes
sage at her house requesting her to go to
the posloffice for registered letter, and,
with a young daughter, set forth. On
quiet, tree shaded street she was met
by a bearded man, who shot her, the
daughter running away and giving the
alarm to the police. The police learned
from Mrs. Moliter's servant that it sound
ed like Hau's voice at the telephone,
that Hau had just left his lodgings and
had taken a train for London, that he
wss wearing false beard, and that he
had sent to his wife in London this mes
sage: "Arrive tomorrow night. Don't
betrsy address," So the German police
telegraphed to the police in London and
Hau was arrested at the Hotel Cecil.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.
Developments of the most sensational
character marked the trial Of Prot. Carl
Hau. the Washington %. o. man &C
cused of numbering his mother-in-law,
Frau Molitor, at Baden-Badeu on No
yember 6 last, from the very opening OF
the proceedings at Carlsruhe, Germany.
Charges made by Attorney Dietz, rep
resenting Hau, that the latler's wife
had been driven to commit suicide to
escape persecution by the German su-
thorities in an effort to force her TO
make damaging statements against her
husband and that she had been threatened
with arrest as an accomplice in the al
legged murder unless she furnished in
eliminating evidence against him caused
remarkable demonstration against
Prosecutor Beicher in the courtroom.
The name of John d. Rockefeller was
dragged into the trial as showing that
he was interested in the American syn
dicate whose interests Hau had gone to
Constantinople to promote.
Dietz's charges OF the persecution of
Mrs. Hau created the sensation OF the
day. He produced evidence that the ex-
amining magistrate had repeatedly press.
ed the wife 10 testify against Hau. All
sorts of devices we're resorted to in the
effort to extract such evidence.
The new explanation of her suicide
that she had been driven to it in des-
peration to escaDe persecution, caused
shouts of SHAME" towards, )" etc., to
come from the spectators. Prosecutor
Beicher tried to stop Dietz and long
wrangle followed.
At the afternoon session Olga Molltor,
who accompanied her mother on the fatal
walk, finest TO hearing the steps OF a
person walking back and forth in the
park. These steps seemed suddenly to
come much nearer, and then there was
'terrifc" explosion in the immediate
vicinity. Her mother sank unconscious.
Olga saw man making haste to get
away. The collar of his overcoat was
turned up. The lower part of the mans
coat was wide and flowing, as described
by other witnesses who saw Hau at the
Karlsruhe station. Olga said she did not
see the mans face. She denied emphati-
cally the existence Of any relations be-
tween her and Hau which would explain
his return to Baden Badeu.
The station agent at Baden Baden was
hen called and said he recognized Hau
as the man who arrived on November A
disguised with a false beard. Various
baggage porters of Carlsruhe testified
that Hau, when he left his baggage, was
wearing a false beard, but that be had
ne beard when he returned to claim it.

MAY DIVERTPELEE FUND
TO SEND 1T TO KINGSTON.
Negro, Only SurviUor of Martinique
Disaster, Not an Need.

The sufferers by the Kingston earthquake may
get s1.40O in lump raised by popular subscrip-
ton for the Martinique sufferers nearly five
years ago and never expended. The city has the
money in It's strong box. but unless a special act
is passed By the Legislature cannot spent IL for
any purpose whatsoever. 1t is proposed TO have
passed enabling act that will make it legal for
the city to send the money to the Kingston suf-
ferers.
The sum of s1400 was raised by those who
sympathized with the sufferers by the eruption
OF Mont Pelee in the spring Of 1902 Mayor
Low was in Office at the time. 1t was the inten
ton of the Mayor TO forward the money as soon
as It was needed. Then the singular fact de-
veloped that there were sufferers needing
help. There was only one survivor Of the dis
aster. and he happened TO be a Negro who was
confined in a Jail under ground. This man came
out Of the disaster deeply Scared by the hot
ashes. but after good treatment for a few weeks
he was as we'll as ever. and later joined a circus
as freak at good wages.
After the money had been IN the custody Of the
Mayor for few months II was decided mas
much as there one to give the money to-
that II would be well to return it to the original
subscribers Mayor Low had a second surprise
when he tried to find the official list Of givers.
1t could not be found. Nearly all the subscrip-
tions had been in ready cash. and unless a can
celIed check could be produced when claim was
made for part of the subscription no attention
was paid 70 those who said that they had paid
money into the fund Mayor Mcclellan inherited
the legacy from his predecessor, and on looking
up the law found that the city could not spend
the money. It had been raised for a specific pur-
pose. 1t cannot be spent unless authorized by
special act and even then II would be a question:
able proceeding. 1t would be difficult for the
city to prove absolutely in court of law that
survivors of the disaster.
Drawing per cent interest, the s1,400 on de-
posit will double itself about every forty-fOur
years. The accountants in the Controllers office
figured out that IL the Martinique fund remains
unexpended for a thousand years. drawing In
terest at only per cent, 1t will reach the enor-
nous total OF s12 600 100000 and that If the heirs
OF the Negro convict should happen around at
that time they might have trouble In carrying
away their money.
