Chicago Girl Survives Tragedy il

Chicago, Ill.--That pretty Sal

only to a heavy comb which she wore
in the back of her hair.

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
vina 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 Dropped
dead. Then he fired the shot that
nearly cost the life of Miss Awald. A

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of u generation. To be sure,
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which O goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Faithist Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.

The Faithist community which has
established a modest footing in Bal
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of nan to
the glory and labors of the gods and
goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list Of
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as the days Of
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick in more than
one joss-house in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-
sion in I%slington, and in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects in
London there are at least 800, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples of Will
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manians, the followers of Joanna
~Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists.

EXAMINE MRS. EDDY
CONFRONTED BY MASTERS, SCI.
ENLIST SHOWS NiMBLE
WIT.
S QUESTIONED FOR AN HOUR
Counse Chambers Sudden Proposition
to Widen Inquiry Goes Over
for Discussion.

Concord, N. H., Confronted in her
W home by three special masters,
one of them a famous %alienist,
Mrs. y Mary b. G. Eddy, head of the
Christian Science church, for an hour
Wednesday afternoon was subjected to
examination to determine whether she
has capacity TO manage her own af.
fairs.
She answered all questions readily,
seemed to be Of nimble wit that en-
abled her to transfer her attention
quickly from n question to another.
and was apparently unconcerned abou.
the outcome of the examination.
Judge Aldrich, Hosea G. Parker and
Dr.. George F. jolly, the masters, ac-
companied by William E. Chandler,
counsel for the plaintiffs; Gen. Frank
S. Streeter, personal counsel for Mrs.
Eddy, ami an official stenographer,
made up the party of visitors.
Counsel Springs. Surprise.
Following the visit to Mrs. Eddy,
pr%eciptatei by the counsel of the next
friends" a surprise was sprung by the
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 elucidated by
Counsel Howe, associate of Mr.. Chan
dler, and was more amplified in its
character than 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-
gressive and which had eliminated in
her mental destruction.
Postponed for Argument.
This receding or simplifying from the
original position was 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 a reli,
gious corporation, but in regard to this
latter case admitted that the PROPOSE
ton was one hat must be settled later
or by the masters. This statement by
the senior master is taken to mean
that Mrs. Eddy must finally submit to
examination by alienists, either DR..
Jolly, as master, or by a commission.

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
Particular Way.


One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe, &C
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of a drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample of his sound. con-
tented philosophy: "Tll tell you WHAT

in at somethin'. / know tive tried

able than doin' nothin'. But, you

his hands till six at night. The other
is where a Teller sits around an thinks.

COUNT WEEDS CLERK
NoBLEMAN PASSES UP WEALTH
TO MARRY HIS LOVE.
EXCLUSIVE SET is AsIONIsHED
Rich Young Women chagrined Over
Failure to Capture Bearer of
an Old Title.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Dainty cards
bearing the coat of arms and crest Of
the de Ferri family have been issued
by Count Leopold j. 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 r reported
to be deeply chagrined owe their fall
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 to
be his wife. Her mother objected TO
a marriage until she reached her ma
jority, but 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 own
living. She was born in Paris.
The count is a %chevalier of the
Honor of the Sovereign, and his family
has been noble for centuries, first in
Italy, and later in Austria, he says.

The Uses Of Worry.

Worry of one sort and another is
necessary to the complete health Of
the spirit; worry is as surely related
to content on n side as II Is to mis-
cry on the other. 1t is as wholesome
an exercise for the spirit, and as re-
freshing. as the physical exercise
which the man finds so necessary to
his ~well-being. The spirit must have
its peculiar gymnastics; the soul can
not afford to become stagnant; its
waters, if one may say so, must be
stirred occasionally If they would DO

why good New Englanders should

by which New England has climbed
to it's place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per-
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the i%nnocuous prune. She does NOT
believe that many New England ances-
tors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but
counsels all to go on pie-eating. despite
the fact that the fiat has gone forth
