DEADLY PLOT OF DAUGHTER.
Chicago Girl Held for Planning with
Detectives to Kill Mother

The district attorney and police of
Chicago have been puzzled by the case
of Miss May Otis, arrested because she
is believed to have offered to pay q de-
tective $500 to kill her mother The
district attorney and representatives of
the police department have gone over
the details of the plot which the wom-
an is alleged to have formed to have her
mother killed. Friends allege that the
girl is sane and that they have never
known any action that would indicate
mental unbalance.
The signed statement of the woman
in which she tells of giving money to
the detectives, tallies with the stories
told by Detectives Mackey and Stolp-
man. According to Stolpman's story,
Miss Otis came to him some time ago
to find out how much property her
mother had. The woman finally told
him, he said, that she wanted to get
the property and wanted her mother to
"mysteriously disappear"
Stolpman laid the case before the
chief of detectives, and was instructed
to go on with the case. He declares
he got the woman to offer him $4,000
for the affair. Detective Mackey was
introduced as Pittsburg thug willing
to undertake the job, and 500 was
paid over and a note for the balance
signed. Then the woman was arrested.
She was afterward released on bail,
and went home with her mother, whom
she is alleged to have plotted to kill.

Zeal for Learning in Ireland.

An Irish question, hitherto unno-
ticed, has become pressing. A great
library to which students. teachers and
the general public can have access is
an almost Indispensable feature among
the institutions of a capital city con-
tanning, as Dublin will do, two uniyer
sites. But as things are, no such Ii
brary will be available in Dublin.
The staff and the reading-room ac-
commOdation of Trinity College, Dub
lin. are both severely tried by the
needs Of the university alone, and
there is practically no room for outsd-
ers. Then there is the National Ii
brary of Ireland, which, considering its
slender resources, has done splendid
work. but it has only $6,250 year to
buy books, and its available space is
sometimes so crowded that one may see
readers perched on ladders around the
readng-roOm or two sharing a single
hair-circumstances which certainly
testify TO a remarkable zeal for learn
ing in modern Ireland. The average
daily attendance is between $50 and
700.

The Spirit of Progress.

The chief factor of our Goth century
existence which is recognized by every
body is that we are all in a hurry.
says a writer in an English publication.
l have Intercepted many people with
the object of finding out why we are all
in hurry, but nobody seems TO know.
If you catch a man and put the ques-
ton TO him blank he looks quite be-
wildered and is totally unable TO eS-
plain. l am rather sorry for this,
it is nice to know the reason for things.
But the hurry of modern civiliza ton
seems to be the only thing for which
no reason exists
Let us, therefore, meekly accept the
fact that for some unexplained cause
it is necessary that we should work
fast, walk fast, talk fast. eat fast, live
fast and die fast. A stentorian voice
yells out in our ears: Get on or get
out !" 1t is the voice of progress. And
if you stop to expostulate with prog
ress you are removed by some means
or other.
And all this horrible hurry results in
countless accidents. In London alone
there are 1000 street accidents per
month. These accidents arise almost
entirely from the anxiety of the pop
ulace to get there quick. There is no
other reason why cabs, motors. BIZ
cycles, carts, tramcars and parcel vans
should go dashing along hurting pc
destrians to right and left. cutting off
arms and legs and filling the hospitals
with casualty cases.

Mr.. William f. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, Okla, writes:
"One bottle of Peruna which l have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
Il had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as a last resort.
Il shall continue using it, as l feel
satisfied it will effect an entire ard per-
manenf cure.
Il most cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last resort.
Doctors have been tried and failed. Other
remedies have been used. Sanitariums
have been visited. Travel has been re-
sorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is found.
This history is repeated over and over
again, every day in the year. 1t is such
results as this that gives Peruna its I'M
assailable hold upon the people. We
could say nothing that would add force
to such testimonials as the above. That
people who have had catarrh and have
tried every other remedy available, find
relief in Peruna, constitutes the best ar
gument that could be made.

POSTAL DEFICIT IS LARGE.
Receipts Were S191, AIS, 633 and
Expenditures s2oS. 35I $50.

Postmaster General Meyer an
nounces that the postal deficit for the
fiscal year ended June 80 amounted TO
S16.91G.219. Receipts were S191,47S.-
633. being s7.S93G51 greater than in
the previous year, and expenditures
were SOS, 351, $50. The deficit is the
largest in the history OF the Postoffice
Department
An analysis of the figures shows that
1851 ,321 represents the advance in
pay authorized by Congress for en-
ployes of the railway mail service, the
rural delivery and the city delivery ser
vice and for assistant postmasters and
clerks in postofices. The normal in
crease in revenue for several years
was about per cent and in 1903 429
per cent, the decrease in the rate of
growth being due to the financial de-
preston.
The Postmaster General said that in
his annual report he would call the
attention of Congress to the fact that
he is firmly convinced that the es-
adjustment of a special local parcels
post confined to rural routes would
tend to wipe out the postal deficit and
would make the rural delivery seIf-sus-

There Is more Catarrh In this section OF
